The usual large amount of devel-
opment work is in progress in mines
of the Goldfield district, although
the volume of production has been
curtailed to some extent by reason
of the high cost of operating and the
absence of a market for any but
high-grade ore. There is no pros
pect of an early change in these con-
ditions, but with the return of nor
NAL times and normal operating
costs there is every reason to believe
the Goldfield district will see a
greatly increased production of bull
lion, with the treatment of large
quantities of the lower grade ore.
Ore that will not bear the expense
of shipping to distant points for
treatment, but which can be treated
profitably in local plants, has been
exposed in large volume in a num-
Der of local mines and it is certain
that this product will be treated at
some time in the future, either by
cyanidation, chloridination or flota-
ton. The last named process has
proved entirely successful in the
treatment of the deep-level. copper
bearing ores of the Goldfield dis
trict, but it's application here on a
large scale has not been practicable
during war time, as there has been
no market for the concentrate re-
sulting from the operation of flota-
ton plants, owing to congestion at
all custom smelters.
1t is significant of the general
confidence in the future of Goldfield
mines that the deepest and conse-
quently the costliest development
work ever undertaken in mines of
the district is now in progress, in
spite of the increase in operating
costs. Although gold mining has
lacked the stimulus of higher prices
for it's product and earnings of gold
mines have been greatly reduced
through causes directly due to the
war. the work of mining companies

ORGANIZED BY LOCAL
MINE OPERATORS

Goldfield men have from the first
taken an important part in the de-
velopment of the Tonopah Gold
Mountain or Divide district and a
group of Goldfield mining and
business men have lately purchased
a property of known merit, embrac-
ing six claims, and are organizing
a company to work this ground.
The claims are known as the I'm
light group and have produced a
substantial tonnage of shipping ore
in the past.
Transfer of ownership of this
group was effected recently at To-
nopah when Hugh Sutherland of
that town sold the property to an
association of Goldfield men in
cluding Charles r. Evans, Joseph

rapid headway is not to be expect

has now been advanced over lO0
feet and there is reason to count
on it's entering the ore-channel
within a short additional distance.
Quartz of excellent quality is
now making it's appearance in the
face of the cross-cut, affording
reliable indication of the approach
of this work to the ore-bearlng
zone which is the objective of the
present work. There has been no
means of determining the exact
position of the ore-channel in the
territory to the west, as there are
no deep workings in this direction.

Conditions in this territory are re-

as the main vein of the district,
which has produced millions of dol
lars in high-grade ore in the La
guna mine, adjoining on the west,
must of necessity reach and form

ATLANTA development PROVES
ENCOURAGING ON DEEP Levels

Work of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany at great depth is being con-
Quoted on a broad scale and on
lines designed to prospect in
thorough manner the main ore
channel between the 1850 and
1900-foot levels. The opening of
the vein on the deeper level was
delayed by the flattening of the
main lode below the 1850 level,
necessitating change in the plan
OF operations but in no wise affect
ing the prospects of opening pay
ore at depth in this big vein.
In earlier operations on the
175O-foot level, which extended
over a large area, pay ore was ex-
posed at number of points and
a considerable quantity of ore was
stopped and shipped to smelters at
time when copper, the chief me-
tallic content, was quoted at IL
or 13 cents a pound. At one point
where there was good showing
of ore a winze was started, but
water interfered at that time with
sinking beyond few feet from the
1850 level.
With the completion of the deep
winze, sunk from the 1850 to the
19OO-foot level west of the foot
wall, the workings on the 1850
level were completely drained and
additional work has been taken up
here in the line of continuing sup
Elementary wines below the main
level in order to determine the
position and dip of the vein on its
downward projection. At one
point on this level, near the foot
wall and below one of the old
slopes, winze has been sunk, fol-
lowing down on the foot-wall, for
over SO feet and will be continued
for a connection later with the
workings on the 1900-foot level,
north of the main cross-cut at that
depth.
This winze and others down a
short distance from the 1750-foot
level show that the vein begins
to flatten only a few feet below
the 1850 level and the angle of
dip can now be determined ap-
proximately from these wines AMI
the raise from the 190O-foot level,
which penetrated the foot-wall at
a height of about 40 feet.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-05-11

The latter raise has now been
extended over 90 feet, on an in
cline to the east, and apparently
has now passed through the hang
ing wall of the vein. 1t will be
continued to the 1750-foot level.
where connection will be made
with the main workings at this
depth by extending a short cross
cut to the west. By this means
good ventilation will be provided
and connection from below will
be made with other wines from
the 1850 level, all tending to in,-
prove working conditions in the
mine.
Manager Darcy has not yet re-
sumed driving the east cross-cut on
the 19O0-foot level, as he wishes to
complete other work that will result
in a saving of time and expense be-
fore proceeding to open the big lode
at this depth. In line with this pol
icy and in order to gain further
knowledge of conditions surround
ing the vein structure at depth, 1t is
his plan to carry forward some lat
eral work from the raise above the
1900 level and to proceed with the
sinking of the auxiliary winze, farth-
er to the north and following the dip
of the foot-wall.
In the progress of recent develop
ment work on deep levels and in
sinking and raising some ore of
good grade has been exposed. The
raise from the 1900 level, upon pen
etrating the foot-wall, revealed large
quantities of ore averaging in value
around $11 per ton and the chief
metallic content of which is copper
The presence of this ore, while it is
not of shipping grade, is regarded as
encouraging in view of the possibil-
ity that drifts at this depth may open
ore of better grade.
Ore of higher grade, although in
seams that are rarely of commercial
value. has been exposed in sinking
below the 1850 level, some of the
assays ranging from $50 to $40 per
ton. 1t is pointed out by those in
touch with conditions in the mine
that work thus far performed at
depth has not been in the remotest
degree conclusive, either of the
presence or absence of valuable ore

Reports coming from the property
of the Sunset Mining & Development
company, situated near Rhyolite, in
dicate that the most important work
yet undertaken by the company Is
now in progress and afford good
grounds for the belief that the visi-
BILE ore in the property will be great
ly increased in volume within a short
time. Development work is now
largely confined to the Denver
claim, where the shaft has been sunk
to depth of over 700 feet and lat
teral work is progressing at three
depth.
West of the shaft on the 700-foot
level, at a distance of four feet, the
cross-cut entered what appeared tC
upon advancing a distance of 32 feet
the cross-cut exposed the vein that
was cut in the shaft, 60 feet above.
This appears to be the foot-wall of
the vein on the main Denver lode,
while the principal cre-bearing vein
which has been found above to con-
tain the best ore, is still farther to
the west
A drift is now advan .ing Oh he
new vein, at the 700-foot level, in
the direction of the point where this
vein appears to unite with the main
vein, the two veins cOnverg'ng both

nearly perpendicular, while the new
vein has a dip of As degrees toward
the former and the Junction ,niht
should be reached by the drift on
the 7OO-foot level within distance
of not more than so or so feet.
Average assays of the quartz
broken in the drift have returned
$11.20 per ton and the material of
which the vein is composed is n good

for the presence of pay ore in large
deposits. Good progress is being

SILVER PICK GO. SHAFT I'M
BIG QUARTZ ZONE AT

For a considerable distance the shaft
had shown varying formations in
strata of irregular width, with many
wide seams or veins of quartz. A
short distance below the 1100-foot
point, however, the shaft entered
solid quartz, heavily impregnated
with iron sulphide and showing some
copper, and the shaft is still in this
material at depth of 1870 feet.
In all the work performed at depth
in the Silver Pick property the pres
ent showing of quartz in the shaft, in
view of it's uniformly favorable char
acter and high degree of mineraliza-
ton, is regarded as the most encour-
aging. Manager Dyer does not favor
a policy of announcing discovery of
Importance or giving out assay fig
ures until something of established
merit has been proved up, but 1t is
known that good assays have been
obtained from the newly opened
quartz zone at depth and persons
familiar with the geology of the dis
trict have been most favorably i'm
pressed with the character of the
quartz now being broken in sinking
This quartz Is similar in appear
ance to that found in the richest ore
channels of the district, having the
same dark coloring and containing
much iron pyrite, the latter often
being present in well-defined seams
marking fractures in the formation.
While there have been indications OF
shale above this depth, in broken
fragments, the solid shale has not
yet been reached, proving that the
action of the big fault, just east of
this ground, has been either to great
ly elevate the ground to the east or
to depress that west of the great fis-
sure.
Development work on upper levels
at depths of ESQ. 460 and $50 feet,
has proved the existence in this
ground of large bodies of quartz and

The Sutherland property has been
known and regarded with high favor
by mining men of this region for a

the light of recent developments in
the Tonopah Divide property and
with the present great activity
throughout the district, the resump-

BEND COMPANY HAS
ISSUED FULL REPORT
OF OPERATIONS

The report of the Goldfield Great
Bend Mining company, Re-incorpor-
ated, covering the period of 26
months from Feb. 1, 1916, to April
l, 1918, has been prepared and is
being forwarded to stockholders. 1t
contains exhaustive reports by Pres
ident Charles S. Sprague, General Su-
perintendent ]. X. Turner and Sec
retary-Treasurer Ben Gill, setting
forth the amount and character of
development work performed by the
company, the cost of operation, re-
turn from ore production and plans
for future operations:
The report of J. X. Turner, the
mining engineer who directed the
company's work from the time the
present corporation was formed, IS
as follows:
The area of your property re-
mains the same as given in last re-
port, being 112.901 acres. The en-
tire property is patented.
During the &c months ending
March 81, 1918, 23S7.6S6 dry tons
were produced, from which the net
loss from operation was S25.5c9. 90.
This is the total production 3f your
company.
The first ore produced by your
company was in September, 1916, all
OF which was sold to Western Ore
Purchasing company for shipment
direct to smelters.
The gross value of the metal con-
tents of this ore was $92,203.13, or
an average of $3S.62 per ton. The
total deductions for freight, treat
ment, sampling, smelter losses, etc..
amounted to $32,S56.77, leaving the
net returns to your company $780,
346.36, or a return of "a per cent of
the total gross value of the ore pro-
duced. The ore was produced at a
cost of $28,357.56, or an average
cost of $11.SS per dry ton.
During the &c months ending
March 81, 1918, 4633 feet of devel-
opment work was performed at to-
tai cost of $54,57S.S3, or an average
cost of $11.7S per foot.
Work was started on your proper
ty April, 1915. The lower workings
were under water. There was no
