Blamed on Wind.

Yet 1t happens to be a fact that for
forty years after base ball was in
vented there were many thousands OF
intelligent men who did not believe
that there was such a thing as
curve. They admitted that the ball
might disport itself strangely at
times. but blamed these eccentricitfes
on the wind or weather or something
like that They scoffed at the sugges-
tion that any human agency, other
than a rousing thump with bat.

any such thing as a curve ball was
at all common then. the Cincy Reds
would have been familiar with it.
Yet on this afternoon in 1878-thirty-
nine years after base ball had sue

ment arose regarding rumors that
there lived certain men who could

torrid that carpenters were called in.

ORE ASSAYING $lOO PER TON IS
Being BROKEN in KEWANAS Mine

Ore assaying over 500 per ton
is now heing broken in a drift from
the bottom of 100-foot winze
from the S4O-foot level of the Ke-
wanas. This winze was started
by the Jumbo Junior company
when that company was working
this block of Kewanas terri
tory under lease and carload of
good ore was shipped by the Jun
ior at that time. The ore-shoot
opened was narrow and the ore re-
quired great deal of sorting, the
lease for this reason being aban-
doned.
A short time ago Manager A. L.
Darcy of the Kewanas company
resumed sinking the winze on a
narrow seam of high-grade ore,
which in the drift has widened at
some places to three feet. The
ore averages, according to assay
sheets, $40 ounces gold, $50
ounces silver and 2.5 per cent
copper, making total value of
$119.60 per ton.
West of the winze a crosscut has
been advanced toward the footwall
of the vein, exposing good ore near
the shale, and second crosscut on
the S40-foot level, driven to the
southeast, exposed quartz from
which low assays in gold and cop
Per were obtained.
The new discovery in the drift
from the winze demonstrates that
the ore in this territory extends
below where the shale was found

MERGER TO SHIP
CARLOAD OF ORE

A car of ore of good grade will
be shipped in the next few days
from the Merger Mines company
where operations recently were re-
sumed on the 1350-foot, or eighth
level, in four feet of ore assaying
from $34.6O to $57.25 in gold, sill
yer and copper.
Drift SO, in which the discov-
cry was made, has been cleaned of
the broken ore and is now in con-
dition for further work. Air pipe
has been extended into the drift
and the ore is now being broken
with machine drills. The last
sampling of the drift gave assay
returns of $57.25 after the ore had
been opened for a distance of 80
feet on the strike.

6OO.FOOT LEVEL OF RED HILL IS
Scene OF new MINING OPERATIONS

6O0-foot level is regarded as hold
ing important possibilities, as the
difficulties of mining among the
old workings will not be met with
on this level and the work is be-
ing done along lines suggested by
conditions found on the upper lev
els.
An earlier management started
a drift to the northeast on this lev
ell, but, although some good assays
were reported to have been OBJ
tanned, the work was stopped.
The work now being done on the
600-foot level is practically ths
first ever undertaken in Red Hill
ground below 500 feet. To the
west OF this territory lies what in
thc days of the famous Florep"s
leases was the richest part of the
Florence mine, which porduced
many millions in high-grade ore
but which was not worked to any
extent below 600 feet. 1t is the
plan Of the Red Hill company to
eventually open the 700 and 500
foot levels, as the shaft is 500
feet deep.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-12-14

Conditions continue favorable in
the Red Hill Florence, where the
main interest is in development
work being done through crosscuts
and drifts on the 600-foot level
where work was started short
time ago in territory heretofore
entirely unexplored and in which
it is believed good orebodies will be
opened. A crosscut on this level is
being extended northeast, or in the
direction of the Rogers lease terri
tory, from which rich ore was ex-
tracted in the early days.
Manager Kendall states that -four
carloads of ore were shipped to the
smelter at Kennett. CAL, last
month and that another is now
ready for shipment. Much of this
ore was taken from a winze from
the 5OO-foot level, which recently
broke into an old stope.
The mine and territory leased
from the Florence Goidfield com.
pany are being worked systematic.

EAST DIVIDE SHAFT
NOW $50 FEET DEEP

The shaft of the East Divide has
reached depth of $50 feet and
Manager Joe Mayer is enthusiastic
regarding conditions found. 1t is
said that in the East Divide shaft
the same peculiar color of material
has been found as in the upper
levels of the Tonopah Divide mine
and that this is the only place in
the district where conditions have
been found identical with those of
the Tonopah Divide. This is TAX
the East Divide shaft is being sunk
in the main vein of the district, in
which a great tonnage of ore has
been blocked out in the Divide. The
stained material appeared in the
shaft at depth of 35 feet and is
still in evidence.
The East Divide shaft is only
$500 feet from that of the Tono-
pah Divide and the great vein, the
main ore channel of the district,
crops with more prominence on the
former ground than anywhere else
in the district. The shaft is near
the north end of the Merced group,
which adjoins the Gold Zone, and
is being sunk near the hanging
wall of the vein in a broken and
soft formation. The shaft is sub
stantially timbered.
The company is well financed
and 1t is believed there will be no
interruption in sinking until the
3O0-foot point has been reached,
unless an important change occurs
in the formation.

GREAT BEND HAS
GO0O-GRADE ORE

Ore for shipment is being plac-
ed in the bins of the Great Bend
mine, taken from two Slopes above
the 160-foOt level and ore assaying
500 per ton showed for a short
distance in the drift from lisa
raise from this level last week. The
results of the work are reported
by the management to be entirely
satisfactory.
The raise from the drift on the
375-foot level is being continued
and will be driven through to the
26O-foot level for air.

SPEARHEAO CUTS
NEW .ORE-SHOOT

H. F. Bruce, manager of the
Spearhead mine, stated this morn
ing that the force of miners had
been doubled, eight miners now be-
ing employed, and that in general
mine conditions were excellent. He
also stated that he had been in
formed by company officials that
the apex question had been defi-
nitely settled in San Francisco, al
though he has not been informed
of the terms.
A new and promising orebody
has been opened north of the shaft
on the 25O-foot level and near the
old Wheeler lease workings.
Enough work has been done in
this new discovery to determine
it's value.
Drifts are being driven both
ways on the ore on the 910-foot
level and the orebody is also being
opened through raises and cross
cuts, Mr.. Bruce said assays show
the grade of ore to continue high
and that he is well pleased with
the result of the work to date.

DIVIDE SOON TO
sink TO DEPTH

Tonopah Miner: AS regards
the results achieved at the Tono-
pah Divide, there have been no
changes of a substantial nature
from the extraordinarily good con-
ditions that have been developed
there. The regular course of min
ing operations was continued on
both the second and third levels,
and the work of sinking has been
postponed until the company has
put in it's new bunk house for the
accommodation of greater num-
ber of miners.
The management expects that
the bunk house will be ready for
occupancy within a few days, after
which the work of sinking the
shaft to water level will be start
ed from the 37O-foot station, where
a hoist has been installed to teke
care of the sinking operations.
This will permit the regular min
ing operations to be carried on
without interference.
Raise 206 from the 2OO-foot
level was put up 25 feet farther
during the week and still shows a
face of shipping ore. The same is
true of raise 204, on the other side
of the vein, which made progress
to the extent of 20 feet in the
same period.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-12-14

to the west, indicating that the
vein at this point extends into the
shale and this is regarded as of
importance in determining condi-
tions in this general part of the
district and is regarded as of great
significance.
Work of the Kewanas company
has been done largely to the north,
where developemnt work on a
broad scale has been done on the
S40-foot level and where good ore
was opened in a number of places.
A drift driven 500 feet north ex-
posed for a long distance ore suit
able for treatment by flotation
and from the main drift to the
north a crosscut was driven ESQ
feet, in which the orebody was
found to be narrow and erratic in
value. High assays were obtained
at a number of places in this
crosscut. A drift driven south
from this point was continued for
over 200 feet in ore of good
grade, which varied from one to
two and one-half feet in width.
A raise from the east crosscut
entered the contact zone a short
distance above the 64O-foot level
and exposed four feet of $50 ore,
the orebody being found to be
spotted in value and the average
grade not high enough for ship
ment. The result of work in this
territory indicated that additional
development would result in a
good tonnage of ore of milling
grade being opened.

CRACKER JACK TO
WORK VALUABLE
ORE DEPOSITS

On favorable terms, II. G. Nc
Mahon, as manager for the Crack
er Jack company, has taken five
year lease on about 80 acres of
Consolidated ground and large
acreage of Florence territory, COW
ering the Consolidated-Florenc
vein at points from which a pro-
duction of 100000 was made from
the 400 TO the 550-foot level in
the early days of Consolidated and
Florence operations.
Work will be done through the
Red Hill Florence shaft under di-
rection of Mr.. Mcmahon, and
small force of miners, which it is
planned to increase rapidly, is al
ready employed. Two machine
drills are now being operated in
the leased territory and this num-
ber will be increased as soon as
the ground has been placed in con-
di,ion for work on a larger scale.
The leases were taken by the
Cracker Jack company for the pur-
pose of opening the upward ex-
tension of two large ore-shoots,
one of which is the famous Rogers
shoot, opened in the Rogers lease
and from which one of the great
est production of high-grade ore in
the history of Goldfield was made.
The main effort of the Cracker
Jack company will be devoted to
opening this orebody, the upward
extension of which has never been
explored
ULtil recently no facilities were
available for mining in this terri
toly. as the old Slopes caved badly,
hut i! can be reached and worked
to advantage through the Rel Hill
slaft, one of the best equipped in
the district. 1t is planned TO open
the vein near the tops of the Old
btopet and it is known that good
to0ies of shipping ore remain at
these points, where conditions are
exactly the same as when tho rich
leases expired.
A distance of 600 feet on the in
cline of the vein to the surface will
be available for exploration, all en-
tirely unexplored territory, and
Manager Mcmahon is confident
that an early date will find the
leases shipping regularly.
This work will be conducted in
addition to operations in the main
Cracker Jack property, in the
northern part of the district. where
mining recently was resumed to
find the junction of the East and
Cracker Jack veins through
winze to be sunk 40 or so feet from

QUARTZ ZONE BEING
OPENED IN GRANDMA

The drift in the Grandma at a
ed over 60 feet and is being con-
tinued in the bedded quartz zone.
Twenty-Five feet from the shaft a
crosscut was driven to the shale
and throughout the work to date
low assays in gold, silver and cop
per have been obtained and the
quartz has been found to be heavy
with iron sulphide.
The contact zone will be explor-
ed thoroughly with raises along
the footwall and through the
quartz zone at right angles to the
dip. This work can be done eco
nomically owing to the sharp dip
of the shale, which will permit
material from the raise to drop into
the drift, something that was i'm
possible in exploring the contact
zone in other mines of the district
where the shale surface lies nearly
horizontal.
Although the Grandma shaft is
$50 feet deep, this is the first lat
eral development undertaken by j.
K. Turner, consulting engineer for
the company. The main vein, run
ming north through the Grandma
claim was cut in the shaft at $50
feet, but no lateral work was done
here, although the quartz was of
good appearance. 1t is planned to
prospect the vein at about this
depth later, but all efforts of the
company have been devoted to op-
ening the contact zone and no fur
ther work will be undertaken until
this has been explored.

C.O.O.AGAIN BEING
OPERATED BY
LESSEtS

Following a brief period of idle
ness the C. o. d. is again being
operated by lessees and a carload
shipment of ore assaying $23 is
almost ready, practically all taken
from a drift within 40 feet of the
shaft on the 65-foot level, where
two feet of ore is exposed. This
will make the fourth carload ship
ment since work was started on the
C. o. D. by lessees.
The former lessees mined good
ore in a winze from the 65-foot
level, where they first opened ship
ping material, and were reported to
have stopped ore from a depth of so
feet in the winze to the level. 1t
is the intention of the present les
sees to explore the ore-shoot in
which they are working and if,
after the carload of ore being pre-
pared now has been shipped the
shoot does not develop as expected,
their efforts will then be devoted
entirely to the 20O-foot level,
where there is reported to be a
promising body of ore with high
copper content. The lessees con-
slider the showing at this depth to
be excellent. Considerable work
was done by the former lessees on
this level.
Four men are employed at pres
ent and it Is planned to increase
this number when work is started
on the 200-foot level, as will be
done in the near future, regardless
of the result of the work being
done in the drift on the 65-foot
level. Shipments ere bsing made
TO the smelter at Kennett. Cal.
The lease is understood to be
an extension of the former lease.
which extended for one year from
July 1. The block comprises 500
by 400 feet, or practically all of
the Gold Bar claim and part of the
Victor claim of the G. o. D. The
side lines run east through the
Gold Bar and the lease includes
the Victor territory to, but not in
Guiding the Victor shaft.
The lease is operated through
the 500-foot main shaft on the
Gold Bar claim, which is in excel
lent condition. There is also re-
ported to be good ore on the 500
and 400-foot levels, but little work
has been done on these levels in
recent years.

Joseph B. Kendall, formerly su-
lperintendent of the Goldfield Con-
solidated Mines company and one
of the prominent mining men of
the state, and John H. Miller of
Hawthorne, president of the Lucky
Boy Mining company, which has a
production record of $500, 200,
have bought a controlling interest
in the Consolidated Mayflower
Mines company at Pioneer from W.
J. Tobin. Miller is one of Neva-
da's wealthiest men and it is known
that associated with him and Ken
dali are some of the biggest min
ing interests in the west. This
deal has been pending for some
time and the fact that it has been
consummated means much for
southern Nevada, as the Mayflower
is now considered one of the states
greatest gold mines.
The main office of the company
will be in Tonopah, with a stock
transfer office in San Francisco,
and the stock of the company will
be listed on the San Francisco
stock exchange and in New York
at an early date. 1t is understood
that the president and general
manager of the company will be
Mr.. Kendall and that Mr.. Miller
will be one of the directors.
The Mayflower became widely
known and was worked on a large
scale during the period of the Bull
frog boom and is equipped with
excellent mining and milling
plants. Among the most import
ant recent work done has been the
sinking Of an incline from the
Starlight shaft, situated 400 feet
from the main shaft, resulting in
the opening of ore.
A report on mine conditions was
made last week by Mr. Kendall, in
which he says:
'On the Mayflower claim the
incline shaft, dipping 65 degrees,
has been sunk $50 feet and drifts
run north and south on the 200,
800 and 4OO-foot levels to a total
Of 1909 feet. The ore stopped from
the mine has practically been con-
fined to the slopes between the
200 and 300-foot levels, this body
of ore being 800 feet long and
over 100 feet high, and, according
to the report of the former man.
ager, Thomas X. Code, has produc-
ed 10000 tons of $14 ore.
"On the 200-foot level no work
of any consequence has been done.
The shaft has been sunk on the
vein to within short distance OF
the 200-foot level. The vein is
reached at each level by crosscut-
ting to the footwall.
"On the 400-foot level Mr..
Codes records show stope of
very good ora. On the bottom of
the 400-foot level winze was
sunk on three feet of $25 ore. AS
the ore raked to the north, this
grade of ore passed out of the
winze at depth of 5 feet The
records show the winze to be 80
feet deep and showing four feet of
