broke into an OF tne
Quartz mass into the shale. Rich
seams of ore are found in the
quartz and in places these seams
are found in such number as to
give a high value to a wide face
of ore. The territory in which
the find was made is being explor-
ed and Goldfield and Tonopah au-
thorities who have inspected the
discovery express themselves as
being confident that continued de-
velopment will result in a large
body of h~igh-grade material being
opened.
Red Hill Florence
Following extensive develop
ment of the upper levels with ex-
cellent results, the 600-foot level
of the Red Hill Florence is now
being explored in an attempt to
open on this level the extension
of the Rogers vein in leased terri
tory and encouraging results have
been obtained. Development of
the 5OO-foot level is continuing.
The work on the 600-foot level is
considered of great Importance, as
this is the first exploration of
Florence territory to be undertake
en- at this depth and all indications
point to the opening Of valuable
orebodies. Ore shipments have
been made over a long period with
a fair degree of regularity.
Cracker Jack
Work was resumed late in No
vember by the Cracker Jack, in
the main property in the northern
part Of the district and also in ter
ritory leased from the CONSOLIDATE
ed and Florence companies. Both
in the main property and the leas-
ed ground operations are being
conducted on a good scale in
promising territory. The Cracker
Jack holdings in the northern part
of the district are being opened on
the 320-foot level through several
workings with excellent indications
for finding ore and the leased
ground is being explored to find
the upward extension of two i'm
portant ore-shoots, one the ia
nous Rogers shoot, from which
one of the largest productions of
high-grade ore in the history of
Goldfield was made from between
the $50 and 550-foot levels.
Silver Pick
The Silver Pick shaft has reach
ed a depth of 1900 feet and after
being sunk an additional 20 feet
to provide a stump will be driven
to cut a body of quartz heavily
impregnated with molybdenite that
was opened on the 1250-foot level.
The drift on the 1250-foot level
appeared to have exposed the
quartz body nea its top and the
new drift on the lower level will
be used to explore the discovery.
Lone Star
After a long period of idleness
work has been resumed in the
Lone Star, considered one of the
most promising properties in the
district, and a drift has been
started on the 25O-foot level of the
Neligan shaft. 1t is said that 9TH
er work will be started by either
the company or lessees. The Lone
Star owns a large territory on the
south slope of Vindicator noun
tain, lying Immediately east of the
Spearhead and north of the Mer-
ger and Blue Bull.
Blue Bull
A narrow vein opened at a depth
of $50 feet in the Pig claim of
the Blue Bull is producing high
grade ore and a shipment made
recently assayed $117 per ton.

Lessees continue profitable OPP
erations in the c.. o. D. and ship
ments are being made from the
upper levels. The lessees also plan
to develop the body of copper ore
on the 200-foot. Ore found on
the upper levels contains only
gold, but on the 2O0-foot level. the

been done recently, the principal
