LESSEES ON INGALLS, MINE
ARE PRODUCING ORE
OF HIGH GRADE

in gold. Little work has been done
at this point.
Farther north of this eight-foot
ore-shoot is the third that has been
uncovered by Borcherding and Snee-
land. This has been drifted on and
cross-cut and has been shown to be
a body of white quartz, 25 feet wide
and from which assays of $40 in
gold and from 20 to 80 ounces in
silver may be obtained.
These three ore-shoots recently
were surveyed by William Sharp, as
sistant to A. 1. Darcy, manager of
the Wingfield properties in Cold
field, who estimated the bodies
would come together $50 feet below
the tunnel, and 1t is this point the
lessees will endeavor to reach as
soon as possible with money they
will make through a carload ship
ment which is now ready to be
loaded onto wagons at tie mine.
Borcherding was in Goldfield in the
latter part of last week and left for
the mine Monday morning after he
had contracted for hauling the ship
ment to Goldfield, from where it
will be shipped to the Selby smelter
at San Francisco. Borcherding and
Sneeland are working on the lease
themselves and have two miners
employed.
The ore that will be shipped from
this lease has been sorted to point
where it said to average $575 in
gold, silver and lead.
The mouth of the tunnel on the
Borcherdfng and Sneeland lease is
1000 feet over a mountain from
where Paddy McDermitt, former
deputy sheriff under Sheriff ingalls,,
and Herbert Jester are working their
lease on the north end of the prop
erty through a shaft.
A carload shipment from this lease
is also ready and will be hauled to
Goldfield as soon as the teams have
finished hauling the Borcherding
and Sneeland shipment. 1t is said
this ore will assay from $4OO to
$500 per ton and most of it will
come from a stope on the 10O-foot
level, at the end of drift, 100 feet
north of the shaft. An ore-shoot

Although production from the
mines of Goldfield has been curtailed
in volume owing to war conditions,
mining men generally regard the
future of the district with a large
degree of optimism and predict
marked revival of activity and large
increase in net production when
normal working conditions return.
Favorable sentiment has been great
ly stimulated by the beginning OF
regular production of high-grade
shipping ore this week on the Red
Hill Florence property and the
good results obtained in develop
ment work in that property.
At number of points in mines
of Goldfield development work of
the past few months has served to
place in sight large quantities of
ore that cannot be marketed pro-
fitably under existing conditions,
but which will yield large revenues
in the future, when lower operating
and transportation costs will per-

or when treatment facilities are
provided here by means of which
the lower grade product can be
handled without shipping to dis

While several of the operating
companies have materially cut down
the scope of their operations with
in the past year, number of Gold
field properties are being worked
on a scale calculated to produce
results of the greatest Importance,
particularly in exploring the known
ore-bearing veins of the district
at great depth. The work now
progressing in the Atlanta, Grand
ma, Kewanas, Spearhead, Silver
Pick and Great Bend mines, in
addition to that in certain parts
of the Goldfield Consolidated pro-
perties, is regarded by mining men
as potentially more important to
the district than any undertaken
in the early years of the camps
activities, as it is more likely to re-
suit in making available a large
tonnage of medium-grade ore, of
a kind that can be treated locally.
At all points where development
work has been carried to great

tions, Manager Darcy is now driv-
ing a cross-cut east from the main
winze, some so feet above the 1900
level, for the purpose of exploring
the vein at this depth.
This work was started from the
winze, instead of from the raise
farther to the east, in order to fa-
cilitate the handling of muck and
to afford more direct access to the
vein, which has a rather flat dip at
this depth. The foot-wall here is at
no great distance from the winze

which led to the opening of the
bonanza shoot in the winze and
the further important developments
on the 800 and 500-foot levels, a
considerable amount of develop
ment work had been performed by
the company, chiefly on the 500
foot level. At this depth drifts had
been extended far to the north, fol-
lowing the main vein, and in this
territory they broke into old slopes
that had been extended over the

was thus made apparent that a
considerable quantity of ore had

Through continued development
by lessees over a long period, the
ingalls, mine, 81 miles south of
Goldfield in Tule canyon, now gives
promise of developing into a steady
producer and AL Borcherding and
Sam Sneeland, who have lease on
the southern part of the property,
are convinced that $50 feet more in
depth will lead them into an ore
body that will prove a big reward
for their labor and expense in open
ing it.
This block of ground. worked
through tunnel, has been found to
contain three ore-shoots and the last
one, uncovered $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel, has been stop
ed for a distance of $50 feet, or
through to the surface, all in good
ore. A winze has been sunk on
this ore-shoot below the tunnel level
for so feet, giving a depth of 200
feet from the surface, and ore

BLUE BULL SENDS
OUT CAR OF
RICH ORE
FROM $50 LEVEL
FOR SHOOT

Development work in the prop
erty of the Reorganized Blue Bull
company has assumed a new phase,
in which Manager Darcy is seek
ing to open the rich ore-shoot ex-
posed first on the 200-foot level
by raising from the 250-foot level.
This ore-shoot extends to the sur
face and produced some exceeding
ly rich ore in the district from sur
face workings.
A shipment of ore broken in
level was sent out lately to the
sampler of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company at Hazen and the
returns showed an average value
of over five ounces gold per ton.
This ore was sacked as it was
broken in sinking and the ship
ment amounted to about "a tons.
Further sinking of the winze was
discontinued for the time being,

tions, but the new raise from the
25O-foot level should connect with
the winze shortly, when efforts
will be made by prosecuting to
pick up the ore-shoot below the
winze.
Although this ore-shoot is rather
narrow and irregular in its dip and
rake, the quality of the ore has
been uniformly high and the pro-
duct could have been sorted to an
even higher average than that ship
ped. The company seems assured
of a good revenue from this ore
body.

Billed to the Hazen sampler of
the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany, a carload of high-grade ore,
the first to be shipped under the
agreement entered into with the
Florence company, was loaded out
today by the Red Hill Florence COM
pany, and from present indications
this shipment will mark the inaugur-
alton of a regular and highly profit
able production of shipping ore from
he Red Hill mine Manager j. B. Ken
dali is now prepared to follow this
shipment with consignments to the
Hazen sampler as regularly as cars
can be obtained.
Two grades of ore comprise the
shipment, which includes run-of-
mine ore averaging $54 per ton, ac-
cording to the thorough sampling to
which it has been subjected, and a
quantity of sacked high-grade, which
was broken in sinking the winze
from the 40O-foot level and which
has been shown to average in the
neighborhood of $4,000 per ton.
A considerable quantity of ship
ping ore has already been hoistei
to the surface and stored for ship
ment, and this product will now be
sent forward to the sampler as rap
idly as possible, while the showing
of ore in the mine workings, On the
800, 400 and 500-foot levels, is such
as to afford complete assurance
that a substantial production will be
made continuously.
UP to the present time no stopping
has been done in the mine, the ore
broken having come from develop
ment work exclusively. The rich
ore-shoot opened on the 4OO-foot
level and on which the winze was
sunk so feet from this level, has
thus far heen opened only for the
width of the winze and is apparently
of considerable magnitude. This
winze will now be extended In the
form of a stope, along the trend of
the vein, in the expectation that
the ore-shoot will yield large ton
mage of shipping ore, including some
of the grade that was sacked for
shipment. Development work is
progressing at a number of points
on the three main levels, with ore OF

ell, thus affording greatly improved
air connections for all the deep
workings.
With this work completed, the
further exploration of the vein at
this level and at points between the
1850 and 1900 levels will be simpli-
fled and the scope of operations
can be considerably enlarged. Later
it is planned to further extend the
east cross-cut on the 1900-foot level
to the main vein, which will be ex-
plored also at this depth. The flat
tening of the vein below the 1850
level rendered it advisable, in the
opinion of the management, to first
explore the vein above the 1900 lev
ell, as a considerable amount of ad-
ditional work, under unfavorable air
conditions, would have been neces-
sary to open the vein first on the
deepest level.
BY the sinking of the incline
winze on the foot-wall, at a point
about $50 feet north of the deep
winze 1T is shown that the shale
shelves away sharply to the south
here, receding to a depth of 1900
feet at the place where the. east
cross-cut was driven from the ver-
tical winze, and that it rises to a
considerably higher level at the
north, where it is shown to form
the foot-wall of the main vein only
a short distance below the 1750-foot
level. Here the wall is plainly de-
fined and the conditions for concen-
tration of the metals are regarded as
better.
In driving the new cross-cut the
vertical winze at the 1S5O-foot
level, the factor of exploring the
