COPPER MOUNTAIN SHARES
SENT TO JUMBO EX.
STOCKHOLDERS

addition to the stock received from
the Jumbo Copper Mountain COM
pany, the Jumbo Extension company
will be reimbursed for the money
II has advanced for the development
of the Copper Mountain property,
which has been carried on the
books of the Jumbo Extension COM
Iany as a loan.
1t is also shown in this statement
that the Jumbo Extension company
has a substantial treasury balance
with which to work out its plans
and that developments on the Cop
per Mountain property support the
belief that the operation of this
property will result in large profits,
with the expenditure of only a few
cents per share of issued stock for
mill construction. 1t is stated also
that the stock of the Copper Noun
tain company will be exempt from
war and income tax.
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner,
who has directed the operations on
the Copper Mountain property from
the beginning, has prepared re-
port on the property, as follows
The property owned by your COM
pany is situated about Is miles from
Nolan Station, on the s. p. r. r..
Mineral county, Nevada, and con-
sists of five patented and IL unpat-
ented claims, aggregating an area
of about $40 acres. 1t is particu-
larly well situated as to natural and
economical conditions. Good mine
labor is available and 1t is of easy
access, the road having an easy
grade to the railroad station. The
general facilities for cheap mining
and milling are good. Sufficient
water is available for all purposes.

ATLANTA SINKS ANOTHER
VINE FROM l75O Level

At a depth of 1900 feet in the
Atlanta property a station is now
being cut in the winze sunk. to this
depth from the 1750-foot level, in
preparation for a thorough system
of exploration at the deepest point
attained in mining operations in
southern Nevada. An accident last
week, when the sinking pump was
dropped a short distance while ex-
tending a sump below the station
sill, caused a brief delay, but no
damage was done and the really
difficult work in gaining this depth
has been completed.
Within few days the station at
the 190O-foot level will be finish
ed and a cross-cut will then be
driven east to cut the main vein.
The station is in the shale, a short
distance below the big quartz mass
formed here by the west vein COM
ing in contact with the shale. This
vein and the surface of the shale
dip to the east, and apparently the
east cross-cut will emerge from the
skale into the quartz within short
distance and will continue in this
formation until 1t reaches the main
vein.
From the dip of the main vein as
indicated on the 1750-foot level,
it is estimated that the foot-wall of
this great lode will be cut within
$50 feet, or at most IT'S feet. from
the winze, and at the point where
the two veins unite. 1t is in this
ground that Manager Darcy and

designed to pick up the extension of
this and other orebodies in Red Hill
Florence territory.
All this work is in the main Flor
ence ore-channel, which has its apex
farther to the west, In territory con-
trolled by the Red Hill Florence, and
dips to the east, through the Red
Hill and into the Florence property,
entering the latter here at depth of
between 500 and 600 feet. There
are two well-defined cross fissures,
cutting the main vein diagonally, one
of them north and one south of the
Red Hill shaft. These cross veins
have been explored only to limited
extent, but raises have been started
on both and some excellent assays
have been obtained in this work.
Development work until recently
has been conducted principally on
the main 5OO-foot level, where drifts
have been extended far to the north
and south and several raises driven
from these drifts. While many good
assays have been obtained, no ship
ping ore in any considerable volume
was found until the discovery re-
ported by Manager Kendall, on the
500-foot level. AS result of this
work, however, it is said that large
tonnage of good milling ore has been
exposed in the various workings.
In the opinion of mining men
here the importance of the develop
ment work now in progress on the
Red Hill Florence property Is not

Within a few days stockholders
of the Jumbo Extension Mining
company will receive certificates of
stock of the Jumbo Copper Noun
tain Mining company, in amounts
equal to their holdings of Jumbo
Extension shares and issued in the
form of a stock dividend under the
plan announced some time ago, in
volving the organization of a sep
arate company to take over and OPP
crate the Copper Mountain property,
which has been developed to the
producing stage by the, Jumbo Ex
tension company under an option of
purchase.
This plan was submitted to the
stockholders of the Jumbo Exten
sion company and met with almost
unanimous endorsement The Jum-
bo Copper Mountain company was
organized in November, with capital
placed at 100000 shares of 81 par
value and allowing for treasury
reserve of $4,000 shares. Subse
quently the option on the property
was transferred to the Jumbo Cop
per Mountain company in exchange
for 100000 shares of it's stock,
which are now being distributed
among stockholders of the Jumbo
Extension company, at the rate of
share for share of their present hold
ings in the latter company.
In a statement by President
Charles S. Sprague, accompanying
the notice to stockholders of this
transaction, 1t is pointed out that in

Development work on the Kuri-
gen, Smith and Evans property, in
the Cuprite district, IL miles south
of Goldfield, has assumed a more
interesting phase with the opening
of a different formation from that
in which work has been progress
ing in the past, and with the dis
covery that this formation is high
ly mineralized and carries gold and
silver in encouraging quantity. This
change has appeared in sinking the
main shaft, at depth of about 400
feet, the deepest point attained in
the Cuprite district.
During the past eight years the
owners have worked this property
at intervals, and last October they
installed hoisting machinery. for
the purpose of sinking to the 500
foot level, where it has been the
plan to conduct extensive lateral
work. The shaft has been sunk in
the country rock, with the object
of cutting the vein at depth. and is
still in quartzite and apparently at
no great distance from the vein.
Assays of the material broken in
the shaft lately have yielded "
gold and one-half ounce silver per
ton, which is regarded as highly
significant. Another assay, just
taken, yielded 1854 in gold and
silver.
In view of the change in forma-
tion and the presence of minerals

GROWING ACTIVITY
IN MINES OF
BUlLFR0G
RESULTS IN SOUTHERN
MINES

Mining operations in the region
surrounding Bullfrog are now being
conducted at greater number OF
points and on more substantial
scale than for several years past,
and the results obtained in develop
ment work have served to stimulate
the belief that several big producers
are to be added shortly to the list
of southern Nevada's successful
mining enterprises. Activities of
the Sunset Mining & Development
company and the Consolidated May
flower Mines company are foremost
in Importance and interest at pre-
sent in the southern region.
A decision was announced recent
Mining G Development company to
sink the Denver shaft another 100
feet, in order to prospect at this
point the big vein in which ore of
excellent grade has been found
down to the 600-foot level. Min
ing Engineer Coupal, who is asso-
ciated with Kirby Thomas, a pro-
minent engineer and geologist, made
an examination of the Sunset COM
pany's property recently and is
said to have expressed a high opinion
of the mine and to have recon-
mended the further sinking of the
shaft.
On the Mayflower property, in
the Pioneer district, President w.
j. Tctin has been carrying forward
development work on three main
levels and now has the companys S
mill in operation on ore of good
average grade. Developments in
the mine during the past month or
two are said to be of the greatest
promise and Mr.. Tobin is now open
ing up the property in a compre-
hensive manner. The higher grade
ore is now being shipped to the
smelter for treatment and there is
an excellent showing of this char
acter of ore on the deeper levels of
the mine.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-02-02

the company's engineers expect re-
suits of the first Importance. The
cross-cut will be extended through
the big vein, which is over 60 feet
wide on the 1750-foot level, and
raises or drifts will be driven to
prospect the vein.
Another winze has been started
from the 175O-foot level, near the
hanging wall of the main vein and
at the most northerly point reached
ir the earlier work of the company
on this level. The best ore found
in the Atlanta mine has been ex-
posed on the 1750-foot level, and at
several points there are indications
that the orebodies continue to
greater depth. At the time this
level was being opened the work
was hampered by a heavy flow of
water, which rendered impossible
the sinking of wines more than a
few feet, in the absence of special
pumping equipment.
Water difficulties on this level
have now been removed by the
sinking of the deep winze, a con-
siderable distance to the west and
in the country rock, beyond the
foot-wall of the main vein. For a
time the flow of water in the deep
winze taxed the capacity of the
powerful sinking pump, installed
scme time ago, but the flow has
now decreased and now approx
mates in volume that which was
formerly encountered on the 1850

FOR WORK
WATER STORAGE CAPACITY IN
CREASED BY DEEPENING
IT'S SUMP

Preparations have been in prog
ress in the property of the Reorgan-
lied Kewanas company for mater
ial expansion in the scope of devel-
opment work, particularly with
view to further exploring the high
ly promising territory at the north,
in which ore of high grade was
found at number of points
throughout an extended area. Work
in this territory was discontinued
temporarily last year, owing to the
difficulty in securing adequate ven
tilation, but good air has now been
provided by connecting the south
drift on the S40-foot level with the
workings of the adjoining Jumbo
Junior and working conditions are
now favorable throughout the mine
In it's operations at the north the
company extended a main drift on
the 84O-foot level for a distance of
over 500 feet, following the trend
of the ore-channel, which is the main
vein of the district. A number of
short cross-cuts were driven to pros
pect the vein and most of these, as
we'll as the drift for most of it's
length, exposed ore of high milling
grade in seams or veins of varying
width, for the most part in volume
sufficient to yield profitable ex-
traction.
About 500 feet north of the CEN
trail working station and at a point
where there are indications of pay
ore and of vertical fault, a cross
cut was driven to the east nearly
800 feet, where it entered the con-
tact zone, having passed through a
wide ridge of shale. Here the cross
cut exposed a rather narrow vein of
good ore and in order to explore
the contact zone raise was driven
from the cross-cut, about 100 feet
farther back or to the west.
This raise penetrated the contact
quartz at a height of about Is feet

here, 1t Is possible that the owners
of the property will decide to do
some lateral work before reaching
the 500-foot level.
From the dip of the vein 1t is
apparent that it will be necessary
to cross-cut only about 20 feet to
reach the hanging wall, and this
would also afford guide for oper-
ations at greater depth. The rock
now being broken is hard and all
mine conditions are favorable.
Walter S. Evans, one of the own
ers, arrived here recently from his
home in Milwaukee to inspect the
property and has expressed himself
as being we'll pleased with the ply
sical conditions revealed in sinking
and with the progress of the work,
which has been in charge of George
Smith, another of the owners. The
property is situated in the central
part of the Cuprite district, about
a mile and a half west of the old
Cuprite railroad station, and con-
sists of 10 acres of ground on
which there are strong groupings of
heavily mineralized veins.
Plans for the thorough explora-
tion of this ground at depth will
be carried forward with the great
est vigor, and an air compressor
has just been installed. Operations
of the owners in future will be
greatly expedited by the use of ma
chine drills and the property is
now equipped for rapid work.

Ore of excellent shipping grade Is
being broken at a depth of about 400
feet in the Red Hill Florence prop
erty. in a drift and raise near the
most northerly point to which de-
velopment work has been extended
at this depth. This point was reach
ed by raising from the 500-foot level
and extended a drift to the north,
in order to prospect for the exten-
sion of one of the rich ore-shoots
that were stopped up to the Red Hill
Florence boundary line during the
operations of the old Rogers-Syndi-
cate lease, on the adjoining Florence
Goldfield property.
Reports of the opening of high
grade ore at this point have been
confirmed by Joseph B. Kendall, who
is now directing the operations OF
the Red Hill Florence company, in
addition to his duties as general
mine superintendent for the Cold
field Consolidated company. Mr..
Kendall states that ore of good grade
is now showing in the drift and raise
and the product is being hoisted for
shipment. The raise was started .on
the ore after it had been opened by
the drift sufficiently to indicate that
the ore-shoot is one of substantial
value.
The work of retimbering the main
shaft from the 500 to the 600-foot
level has been completed and the
station at the latter level has been
fitted with heavy timbers in prepara-
tion for extended lateral work that
it is planned to conduct at this
depth. Rich ore-shoots, other than
the one exposed lately at the 400
foot level to the north, were mined
in Florence ground near the Red Hill
Florence boundary and below the
5OO-foot level. One of the best OF
these was stopped to the joint bound
ary line at o point considerably be-
low the 50O-foot level, and the work
now starting on the 600-foot level is
