The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-05-18

THE UOLDFIELD NEW
is yielding the regular tonnages of
milling grade ore from it's four-foot
width. The Merger vein was also
stopped and continues to hold a
width of three feet, with milling
values being returned across this
width.
On the 1859 level the only work,
as in the past few weeks, consisted
of stopping on the Merger vein, which.
as on the level above, shows a width
of three feet, assaying milling grade
ore.
West End Con.
The mill of the West End Con-
solidated Mining company completed
it's cleanup early in the present week
and shipped to the smelters 80 bars
of bullion having a weight of So
629 ounces. At the prevailing prices
quoted for silver, the bullion is worth
approximately $~74,736.26.
The mining operations at the prop
erty during the past week followed
along the same general lines that
have been mapped out by the COM
pany's engineers. The timbers at
the Ohio shaft have been frightened
down to the 600 level, allowing a
resumption of operations at the 500
foot depth, where several pieces of
development work have been re-
sumed. The remaining distance in
the shaft between the 600 and the
S00-foot stations is now being tim
bered.
Cash Boy Mine
The new plans of the Cash Boy
Consolidated Mining company, which
call for the extension of a cross
cut on what has been designated as
the 18th level to a point beneath the
staff, are now well under way, and
the cross-cut is being driven as rap
idly as possible. When the proper
point has been reached, a raise will
be started to connect with the bot
tom of the shaft. So far as the
cross-cut has been driven, it has
advanced through West End rhyo-
lite.
North Star Mine
The recent developments at the
North Star are of the most en-
couraging character. The vein
which was reported last week as
having been discovered on the
1000-foot intermediate level has
developed into a substantial ore
body, there being 81 feet of ore
in the main branch of the vein
with a small high-grade streak
along the hanging wall. This lat
ter ore Is to be taken down sep
arately from the main vein, the
bulk of the core that is now being
broken in development work to-
gether to the ore house as better
than milling grade. The manage
ment is greatly encouraged over
the new showings on this level,
which have been found in the
cross-cut that was lately started
along the Belmont-North Star line,
and expresses confidence that a
much better showing will eventu-
ally be developed in the extension
Of work ON this and other levels.
With the purpose Of picking up
the vein at lower depth, operations
are being started up on the 1880
foot level and this work is going
ahead at the usual pace. The
raise from the 105O-foot level
made the usual progress on the
hanging wall streak, but nothing
of Importance has been developed
in it up to date.
Jim Butler Mine
A good rate of progress is being
maintained at both sections of the
Jim Butler Tonopah Mining COM
pany, and the development work
that has been under way in recent
weeks is giving beneficial results,
as shown by the recent reports.
In the Desert Queen workings,
on the 400-foot level, west cross
cut 416, which is being projected
from All south crOss-cut, was adj
vanced for a short distance and
then operations were suspended
temporarily for the purpose of
permitting the company to start a
raise, which has been designated
at 419, from the crOss-cut.
HalifaX-TOnOpah
A continuation of the stopping
operations in 1919 stope at the
Halifax Tonopah is reported. Raise
