GOLD ZONE DISCOVERS
EXTENSION OF BIG VEIN

Tonopah Miner: After many
months of hard, conscientious work,
the Tonopah Gold Zone Mining
company, adjoining the Tonopah
Divide Mining company's property
on the south, has developed what is
believed. and confirmed by many
reputable mining engineers and
operators, to be the extension of
the Divide ledge. which has been
the cause of great activity in the
old Gold Mountain district, but now
more popularity called the Divide
district.

RED HILL DRIFTING TO EXPLORE
TERRITORY ON 6OO-FOOT LEVEL

A drift is now being driven
northwest from the shaft on the
6OO-foot level of the Red Hill Flor
ence and is exposing low-grade ore.
This is the first work done by the
present management on this level
and is expected to open orebodies
that produced we'll on upper levels.
The mine produced five carloads
of ore last month and, while no
shipments have been made recently.
they will be resumed in short
time.
A drift was driven on the 600
foot level by former man cement,
ibut this was found badly caved
and the working now being driven
is entering new and promising terri
tory from which it is expected a
good production can be made with
further development.
Nearly all the ore produced re-
Gently has been extracted in devel-
opment work on the 400 and 500
foot levels, which resulted in good
bodies of shipping ore and some of
exceedingly high grade being ex-
posed.

The work now in progress on the
600-foot level is practically the only
lateral work done in the mine be-
low 500 feet, as little was done by
former managements below this
depth, although it is believed by
authorities on this part of the dis
trict that the ore-shoots continue
to depth. 1t is the present plan of
the Red Hill company to explore
levels at 700 and 500 feet after
further development work has been
done on the 6OO-foot level. The
shaft is 500 feet deep and in con-
nection with the possibilities of ex-
ploration on the 800, 700 and 500
foot levels. mining men point to
the fact that the adjoining Florence
Goldfield mine, with record of
many millions of dollars worth of
ore produced over a long period,
has never been opened below $50
feet.
j. B. Kendall, manager of the
Red Hill Florence, returned few
days ago from a brief trip to San
Francisco and is again directing OPP
erations at the mine.

HYDRAULIC MINING
ON BIG SCALE
MAY START IN
TULE CANON

1t is confidently believed by men
interested in the enterprise that
work on large scale will soon
start in the Tule canyon placer
field.
1t is planned to start work at a
point one mile south of where pros
pecting shafts recently were sunk
and drive a tunnel 1900 feet to
bedrock. The slope of the can
yon is such that bedrock can be
reached in 1900 feet with tunnel
of proper grade for placer mining.
After crosscuts have been driven to
drain the bedrock for a distance of
about 200 feet, so that gravel can
be started through the flume as
soon as possible and the work plac-
ed on a paying basis, the tunnel
will be continued along the bedrock
until the point where the prospect
ing shafts were sunk is reached.
A flume "a inches square will be
carried under the track in the tun-
mel and there will be an ample sup
ply of water to fill this.
After the tunnel has been advanc-
ed to the shafts, which are sunk
almost at the northern end of the
five-mile stretch of claims owned
by the company, the ground will be
permitted to cave if only the pay
streak is worked. Working the
gravel through to the surface is
also under consideration, as the en-
tire overburden above the paystreak
has produced good assays.
The entire proposition will be a
large one, but one that will start
paying soon after completion of the
tunnel. according to men connected
with the enterprise.
After work through the tunnel
has advanced sufficiently to pay
for additional equipment, the water
will be piped from the tunnel mouth
to the lower end of the canyon,
nearly four miles, and hydraulic
mining operations will then be
started at that point and continued
until the canyon has been stripped
to bedrock for the entire length OF
the claims and from wall to wall
In some places the canyon is over
1000 feet wide.
1t is estimated that by working
through the tunnel for only a COM
paratively short time enough money
will be realized to pay for the hy-
, draulic equipment.
According to Al Borcherding. one
of the men interested in the COM
pany and who understands the
placer mining possibilities of the
canyon thoroughly, the overburden
above the paystreak is from As to
60 feet thick. assaying as high as

The final cleanup for the month
of September at the Tonopah Ex-

suited in the production of 25
bars of bullion, the gold-silver
contents of which are valued by
the company at approximately
$57,GOO. The shipment, which
weighed 51,865 ounces, was for
warded to the smelters on Thurs
day, Oct. 3.
With the continuation of work
at the Rescue Eula, in the drift on
the 1050-foot level, the vein has
consistently maintained an aver
age width of five and one-half
feet during the past week, and
most of the ore produced and

treatment, aggregating 119 tons

Tonopah Miner: The Tonopah
Belmont sent to the mill 2173 tons,
the Tonopah Mining 300 tons, the
Tonopah Extension 2O44 tons, the
West End 983 tons, the Jim But
ler 1O2 tons, the Rescue 119 tons,
the Montana 202 tons, making the
total production 1928 tons, the
estimated value being $14S,29l.
This valuation is calculated on the
gross milling value of the ore.
The several sections of the mine
of the Tonopah Mining company
were given attention during the
week and development work was
carried on at about the usual rates.
There was practically no change
shown at any of the working fac
es, while the slopes were main
tanned with the usual showings and
the regular production being
made.
Belmont
The recent developments made
by the Tonopah Belmont Develop
ment company at the lower levels
in it's mine at Tonopah give rise to
great encouragement that substan-
tial ore bodies will be found at
greater depths than anticipated
when such work was started. 1t
will be remembered that a short
time ago an entirely new vein was
discovered on the 1200-foot level,
and following that, exploration
work was carried on at the next
two levels below. Within the
past few weeks the vein has been
picked up on the 1300-foot level,
and has been developed for some
little distance on its course. On
the 14OO-foot level promising in
dications have been observed with

WHITE CAPS MILL Is
OPERATING STEADILY
White Caps

Tonopah Miner: No work is
being done on the second and
third levels on account of scarcity
of labor. On. the fourth level the
409 stope is in a very good grade
of ore and the dimensions of the
slopes are improving. The 404
stope is the same. On the fifth
level the 504 stope is also imprOv-
ing in size and values. 1t is now
10 sets long and five sets wide.
The shaft Is going down in very
hard rock. 1t has attained
depth of S5 feet below the fifth
level. The mill is running stead
lily.
Manhattan Consolidated
Drifting is progressing west on
the Mud ledge on the third level.
Three shoots of ore have already
been cut. The drift is now in a
break, the formation consisting of
crystalized lime and oxidized ledge
matter. The indications are that
the break will be passed through
in few feet. The last lens pene-
trated was 25 feet in length. Su-
perintendent Page is now raising
on the Mushett ledge from the
third level and Is up 40 feet. He
is cutting through five feet of
good commercial ore. There is
now necessity to pump only for
mine use. The White Caps which
has been pumping from the Con-
solidated for mill use, now is
amply supplied and will suspend
pumping. The Consolidated now
has sufficient ore on the dump and
blocked out in the mine. to justi-
fy milling operations.

Fur fabrics have become so hand
some and rich that they associate on
equal terms with real skins. They do
not suffer by this close comparison.
Until the present year coats made of
these fabrics were set off by collar and
cuffs and bands of fur. but now we
find the fabrics and fur dividing hon
ors in the body of as brilliant garments
us any. except those magnificent long
wraps and cloaks of costly skins that
are only the privilege of the very rich.
The time may come when things as
they were will be reversed and the fur
fabrics become decoration for coats
made of fur.
Among the really impressive coats
that have been brought out for mid
winter wear there are some very hand
some models In which fur fabrics are
so generously trimmed with fur that
the effect is that OF an all-fur garment.
