ST|MlER MINE IS
SHOWING BIG
0REB0OY
NOTABLE DISCOVERIES ARE RE-
PORTED FROM DISTRICT
AT WEST

Prospects of making big pro-
ducing mine of the old Stimler prop
erty, now owned and operated by
the Nivloc Mining company and
situated in the Stimler district, II
miles west of Silver Peak, are re-
garded as particularly bright by
persons familiar with the ground
and who have kept in touch with the
more recent developments. Work is
now being carried forward at good
speed with the aid of excellent mine
equipment, including a power plant
and air compressor.
Work now in progress is being
conducted from the old main shaft,
which was sunk to depth of 44O
feet. On the 20O-foot level a cross
cut was driven to the vein and a
large tonnage of excellent mill ore
has been placed in sight as a re-
suit of this work. 1t is the plan of
Manager Harry Stimler to resume
work on the 400-foot level, where
he will seek the extension downward
of the same orebody.
Ore of excellent grade was expos
ell in the incline SHIFT, sunk on the
main vein about 500 feet northwest
of the main shaft and which opened
what appears to be an orehody of
large dimensions and excellent aver
age value at a depth of about l3C
feet. A carload of ore from this
point was shipped, without any sort
ing, and the returns gave an average
of over $50 per ton. The veins are
large and well-defined, while the ore
is of a character that can be treated
at low cost. Many of these veins
crop boldly in this mountainous dis
krict, offering opportunities for ex-
ploring by means of tunnels and
gaining great depth in this man
ner. 1t is probable that large
amount of work will be done in the
district next spring, when it is re-
ported that the Nivloc company will
erect a mill of substantial capacity.

have found an outlet from the lat

open fractures.
The presence of continuous frac-
lures connecting the tw) veins has
been proved by the draining of the
workings on the 1750-foot level by
the deep winZe. This winZe was
sunk in the country rock. at some
distance west of the foot wall of
the main vein and consequently
gaining in distance from the main
vein in depth. Upon penetrating
the West vein a heavy flow of

Later. however, the flow of water
subsided to volume approximat-
ing what had been the normal flow

workings in the main vein on the
latter level are relatively dry, show
ing that this entire area has been
drained by the deep winze and that
the water must have gained access
tc the winze through the West
vein from the main lode.
Full support is given by these
conditions to the earlier theories
held by Manager Darcy. whose es-
innate of the depth of the shale and
foresight in other matters have been
borne out to the last detail in the
progress of this work. Delays have
been caused several times by the
impossibility of securing prompt

ATLANTA MINES Go. BEGINS
EAST CROSS-CUT ON
I9OO-FT. LEVEL

At a depth of 1900 feet in the
Atlanta property the station at the
bottom of the winze from the 1850
foot level has been completed an
the east cross-cut is now being ad.
vanced to reach and explore the
main Atlanta vein. 1t is estimated
that the foot-wall of this big lode
will be cut within a distance of not
more than $50 feet, and with the
present equipment there is reason
to believe that there will be no cur-
ther Interruptions to delay prog
ress.
The station from which this
cross-cut has been started is in the
shale, just below the vide quart
zone that lies Immediately over the
shale and is known as the Vest
vein. This vein was cut by the
winze so feet below the 17EC-foot
level and the winze continued in
the silicified vein matter to the
shale's surface, at a depth of ap,
proximately 1900 feet. The shalt
appears to dip to the east iiers al
an angle only few degree from
the horizontal, indicating that the
West vein unites with the main
vein at about this depth.
From these conditions it is ap-
parent that the east cross-cut will
leave the shale and re-enter the
quartz zone within a short distance
and that 1t will continue in the
west vein to the point where II
penetrates the main vein. The pre-

Authentic reports of the results
obtained in opening the new ore
body from the 40O-foot level of the
Red Hill Florence mine continue
highly gratifying and it Is said that
there has been a consistent improve
ment in the showing of ore as sink
ing has progressed. The winze from
the 400-foot level is now down
about 35 feet and near this point a
drift has been started on the ore.
The exceeding rich material is being
sacked and shipment will be made
in the near future.
North of the winze, the drift on
the 400 level has been continued
over 40 feet and continues to show
ore of shipping grade near the hang
ing wall of the big vein. Drifts are
also being extended north and south
from a raise extended about 40 feet
above the 400-foot level, at a point
near the winze. Two shifts of min
ers are now employed in sinking the
winze and extending the new drift
from it.
Some of the richest ore found in
the Goldfield district since the open
ing of the early-day bonanza depos-
it's has come from the winze of the
Red Hill Florence, assays of the
mixed kaolin and quartz breccia that
is being sacked having returned as
says as high as 1000 ounces gold
or $4,000 per ton. Grab samples
from considerable quantities of this
material, taken while the ore was
being sacked, have in many instanc-
es shown a gold content ranging
from $25OO to $500 per ton, while
in addition to this ore, which is
from Is inches to two feet in width,
the remaining width of the winze has
been in ore of excellent shipping
grade.
Proof of the continuity to the
north of the orebody, as shown in
extending tlse main drift on the 400
foot level, is regarded as an en-

ward to the sampler shortly. Be-
yond the winze, the drift on the
400 level has advanced north and
toward the hanging wall for some
35 feet and is now showing good
width of shipping ore. This is
plainly the continuation of the same
rich ore-shoot, which is shown in
the winze to rake in this direction,
and it further established the ex-
tent of enrichment here. Drifts
are also being extended from
raise driven about 40 feet above
the 400 level near this point. In
addition to the rich ore that Is be-
ing sacked, the winze has been
breaking a full width of ore rang
ing in value from $50 to over $500
per ton and it is now apparent that
substantial tonnage of shipping
ore will be produced from these
workings.

There is now every reason to be-

mining authorities in the district
there is no reason to fear that the

in this vein can be questioned.

REVIEW Of mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

Developments in the mines of
Goldfield are arousing renewed in
terest in mining circles throughout
the country, in spite of the absence
of market activity in the metal min
ing issues Goldfield mines are in
better condition than for a long
time past and their condition will
afford substantial support for a
market when active trading is re-
sumed in the metal stocks.
Whatever position Goldfield
stocks have had in the open mar
ket has been maintained by intrin-
sic merit and the absence of inside
support has rendered these stocks
at certain times an easy prey to
professional manipulators and mar
ket-riggers," who on several occa-
sions have circulated derogatory re-
ports or rumors of impending liti-
cation, with the object of depres-
sing market values. Influences of
this character have been brought
to bear recently on Red Hill Flor
ence stock, after sharp advance
in price resulting from the discov-
cry of high-grade ore, and the man
ipulators were successful in caus-
ing a break and in shaking public
confidence for a time in the value
of the new strike.
Current production is by no
means indicative of the present
capacity of the Goldfield mines for
producing pay ore. War conditions
have resulted in what is practical
lv an embargo in all the lower
grade and refractory ores, while a
similar embargo on shipments of
concentrate and other mill products
is operating to greatly curtail pro-
duction of these materials and has
stood as an effective bar to the con-
struction of milling plants to treat
the ore in sight.
Only ore of quality that is
classed as high-grade in any other
gold mining district can be hand
led to good advantage under pre-
sent conditions and Goldfield con-
tinues to make a substantial out
put of ore of this character.
Deep mining operations continue
to command the interest of mining
men here and these operations are
being pushed forward in spite of
higher working costs and the diff
culties encountered in operating at
great depth. 1t is the general opin-
ion of good authorities that the next
few months must bring results of
the greatest Importance to the en-
tire district, particularly from the
work at the 19OO-foot level of the
Atlanta mine and possibly in the
deep winze of the Jumbo Exten-
sion.
Production by lessees has again
assumed important proportions in

GOOD RESULTS IN
CRACKER JACK
PROPERTY
EAST VEIN SHOWING PAY ORE
FOR LONG DIS
TANCE

Results of recent work on the
Cracker Jack property have been
most encouraging and ore of COM
mercial grade has been found in
considerable quantity in exploring
the east vein on the 320-fOot level,
at a distance of about 500 feet
from the main shaft. This vein was
penetrated by the main east cross
cut at this depth, at a point where
ii was broken by cross fault and
no attempt was made to prospect
it at the time it's presence was first
determined.
When it was decided to prospect
the vein, branch crOss-cut was
driven diagonally to the vein from
the main cross-cut, thus avoiding
the broken ground of the faulted
area, and q drift has been extended
north on the vein. For distance
of rs feet this drift has been show
ing ore averaging nearly two feet
in width and assaying from SIS to
$40 per ton A raise was started
from the drift at point where
the showing of ore was regarded
as particularly encouraging and
this raise now appears to be enter
| ing the ore-shoot.
Development work in the main
Cracker Jack vein, farther to the
west, has shown this vein to have
rather flat dip, while that of the
east vein is more nearly upright.
1t is estimated from surveys of the
workings that the two veins will be
found to unite at a depth of not
more than 40 feet below the drift.

ment will shortly sink winze on

The character of the ore found
in this vein encourages the belief
