The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-07-06

A considerable amount of devel-
olment work is in progress in the
mines of the Goldfield district, des-
pite the partial shutdown of some
of the mines, resulting from the
walkout of a number, of the miners,
ho demanded an increase in the
wage scale.
Properties in the Diamondfield
part of the district and some of
those paying higher wages for shaft
work have not been materially af-
fected by the walkout and it is
generally believed that some ar
rangement will be made, possibly
by the introduction of contract
or bonus system, to secure an am
pie force of workmen for all of the
mines in the local association, and
of better labor than that which has
been available for some time past.
Local operators have been great
ly encouraged over reports that
government officials have expressed
a realization of the need for some
method of stimulating the gold min
ing industry The fact that Eng
land has long been subsidizing the
gold mines of South Africa has long
been known in mining and financial
circles and it is held that some such
step on the part of the United
States government will be found
necessary to stimulate gold produc-
tion, either by a direct subsidy, a
bonus on the metal or a reduction
in shipping rates. Any step calcu-
lated to further the interests of
gold mining will result in great ben
eft to the Goldfield district and
will bring about an immediate and
marked increase in the scope of
mining operations and in production
of ore in the district
On a number of properties in the
district development work on deep
levels or the sinking of deep shafts
has reached a point where results
of the greatest importance may be
counted upon with relatively little
more work. From a development
standpoint the mines of Goldfield are
in better condition and better posi-
ton to sustain their stocks in the
IL hn
past.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-07-06

The following editorial discussion
of the result of present business
conditions as they affect the opera
ton of gold mining properties ap-
pears in the current issue of the
Mining and Scientific Press:
In the annual report of the Dome
Mines Ltd, in Canada, the manager,
Mr.. Charles d. Kaeding, refers to
the cessation of productive opera
tions and says:
THE economic fallacy of operating
gold mine under existing condi-
tions, even were there a sufficient
supply of labor, is now so much bet
ter understood that it is hardly
necessary to point out the decreas-
ing profit per ounce of metal due
to the increasing cost of production
and the fixed price of this stand
ard. 1t will not be possible to re-
sumo operations until conditions be-
come more favorable"
This company closed its mill in
December last and is now restrict
ing work to the sinking of it's main
shaft. Another company, the Ca
madam Consolidated Mining & Smelt-
ing company, has issued notice to
it's employees in British Columbia,
stating: Large increases in the
various items entering into the min
ing and smelling of the RosSland
ores, such as wages, cost of explo-
sives, coke, steel, general mine and
smelter supplies, without adequate
compensation in values by way of
increased metal prices, coupled with
increased taxation, have made it
necessary for the company to sus-
pend shipments from the Rossland
mines indefinitely An endeavor
will be made to keep a small force
on development work, and to place
the remainder of our Rossland en-
ployees at the smelter, the Sulli-
van mine, Kimberley, and other
lead-silver properties of the COM
pany."
The ore produced by the mines at
Rossland is a low-grade silicious
copper ore valued chiefly for it's gold

SILVER PICK MAIN
SHAFT GOING
TO DEPTH
SINKING HAS BEEN RESUMED
BELOW 12OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Plans for the development OF the
Silver Pick Consolidated property at
great depth are being carried for
ward by the further sinking OF the
main shaft below the 11S5-foot point,
where sinking was discontinued
short time ago in order to carry on
some lateral exploratory work at
this point.
Cross-cuts were driven for snort
distances north and south at this
level and ct first the results OF this
work were regarded as encouraging,
but the work failed to reveal any
ore of commercial grade and it was
decided by President Herman Zadig
and Manager Dyer to carry oIt their
earlier plan and sink to depth of
400 or 1900 feet.
Sinking has now progressed DC
low the 12OO-foot point and will be
continued without interruption, as
the recent walkout of miners has not
affected properties where higher
wage than the regular scale is paid
for shaft work.
The Silver Pick mine is well
equipped with machinery and will
probably require no additions to its
present equipment in the further
sinking of the shaft. The shaft has
reached a depth well below the bot
tom of the hole bored near here by
a core-drill, but has not yet reached
the shale, indicating greater depth
for the latter here than east of the
big fault.

SLUMP in GOLD Value
CURTA|LS PRODUCTION

content One of the company's Off
cials says:
LAS a gold dollar will hardly
buy half as much as before the war,
there appears to be no great advan-
tage in mining gold ores at this
when almost every
variety of mining cost has doubled
and more"
These remarks will find a SYM
pathetic response among gold min
ers elsewhere. In California it is
reported that the shortage of power
may compel discrimination in the
distribution of electrical energy,
ard that one of the first industries
to suffer will be gold mining on the
Mother Lode, on the supposition that
it is not among the activities most
essential to warfare. We say sup
position advisedly, for to us 1t
seems fallacy to suppose that
gold is not an important resource
in time of war.
I'VE don't want gold from the
mines; we can make money with a
printing-press," says the shallow
observer, echoing a sentiment that
is allowed to grow like an eco
nomic weed. Assuredly If the gold
miner is to pay double-price for
his material and is to receive a
half-price for his product, he will
be we'll advised to cease production
until such time as gold is in de-
mand again; and that time is sure
to come on the day of reckoning
when the paper-credits now freely
issued are brought to account. The
terrific slump in the commodity
value of gold is perhaps our best
example of the evil effect produced
by discriminatory price-fixing.
In terms of drill-steel, loking at
the matter from the vendors end,
2S6 pounds of 7S-inch octagonal
steel would buy a shining double
eagle in 1912, whereas only so
pounds are needed now to land the
same sum in the steel merchant S
bank account. In this case the de-

MAYFLOWER MINE EXPOSING
GOOD ORE AND MILL
NOW OPERATING

shaft and with new silver-plated
amalgamating plates throughout.
During the period of the famous
Bullfrog boom the Mayflower mine
was one of the most widely known,
as well as one of the foremost pro-
ducers of gold, in southern Nevada.
but the mine was at that time work
ed only for the deposits of high
grade material, leaving what is now
classed as good mill ore either on
the waste dumps or standing in the
mine. The Mayflower vein extends
for long distance on the property
and is regarded as the best vein
ever opened in the Bullfrog region.
Work near the surface on the
Starlight claim, at point 14O0 feet
northwest of the main shaft, has ex-
posed ore of excellent grade down
to a depth of about so feet, with in
dications that this territory will pro-
duce large quantities of excellent
mill ore. At a depth of 800 feet
drift is now being extended from
the main shaft, following the course
of the Mayflower vein, to reach
point under the Starlight shaft,
where connection will be made by
raising, thus opening up great
length of the main vein for explora-
ton.
Plans of the Pioneer Consolidat-
ed Mines company to reorganize on
the assessable stock basis, under the
name of the Reorganized Pioneer
Mines company are being carried
out successfully, the stockholders
evincing an almost unanimous APP
proval of the plan.
AS result of this change sub
stantial treasury balance will be
made available for development
work and Manager Tobin, under
whose direction the property has
already produced upwards of $780,
900 worth of ore, will proceed to
carry out the recommendation of
Consulting Engineer j. X. Turner
and will sink the main shaft. now
only about 425 feet deep, to depth
of from, 500 to 1000 feet, according
to the character of the formation
revealed in sinking. All necessary
equipment is now on hand at the
mine and the work of sinking will
begin shortly.

jective of the company's long cam
paign of preparatory work in sink
ing it's deep shaft Much interest
attaches to this work, in view of
discoveries that have been made in
the contact zone at other points in
the district.
Conditions here are in many re-
sbects similar to those surrounding
the discovery of the famous contact
orebody in the Jumbo Extension
property, a short distance to the
south and along the trend of the
same ore-channel, while the depth
at which the Bonanza deposit was
opened was approximately the same
as that attained in the Grandma
property, allowing for the deepening

gree of similarity Both points were
in direct line to the east and on
the dip of the formation from high
ly mineralized zones opened in ad-
joining mines and at both points
the contact zone was about the
same depth.
In the sinking of this shaft a
question which has aroused much
speculation among local mining
men has been whether the shaft,
when it finally reached the contact,
would expose the west-dipping or
the east dipping shale.
Most of the ore found in the
contact zone up to this time has
been on the east-dipping shale,
although there has been little ex-
ploration of the contact dipping to
se west. At the point where the
Grandma shaft has exposed the
shale, the latter appears to have
a slight, nearly flat dip to the west,
but this, it is said, may merely in
dicate one of the many low ridges
or rolls in the surface of the shale
and is not significant.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-07-06

At a depth of about $40 feet,
cross-cuts are being driven in the
stale in the Grandma Consolidated
company's property, to form a sump
of ample capacity to hold the ac-
cumulating water, which does not
appear here in any great volume,
and with the completion of this work
Superintendent Turner will install
at the bottom of the shaft the high
capacity pump that has been secur-
ed for this purpose. From present
indications there is little prospect
of any difficulty from heavy flow
of water here.
Sinking of the main Grandma
shaft has been in progress through
a. long period and some time ago
the shaft entered the quartz zone
marking the line of contact between
the latte and shale. The contact
zone proved to be of considerable
width here, the shaft having con-
tinued in quartz, or in mixed quartz
and latte, more or less silicified'
for about 80 feet before reaching the
solid shale. Iron pyrite, together
with some copper sulphide. was
found in varying quantity in the
fractures of the quartz, and near
the shale were found many seams
of high-grade ore, although the lat
ter metal was not present in COM
mercial quantity.
The presence of these metals,
however, is generally accepted as
an indication of the existence OF
highly mineralized zones at this
depth and the plan of operations TO

NEVADA EAGLE TO
DEVELOP ITS
PROPERTY
NINE WEST OF TOWN HAS
SHIPPED ORE IN
PAST

Operations have been resumed on
the property of the Nevada Eagle
Mining company, situated about two
and a half miles west of Goldfield,
and development work is progress
ing on the 250-foot level, where an
orebody was found in earlier opera
tions that produced considerable
quantity of shipping ore.
Shipments were made regularly
for a time from the property some
three years ago, but the low price
of silver, which this ore contains,
together with the heavy cost of road
maintenance and operating expense
generally at that time, brought
about a decision of Manager ]. A.
Houlahan to suspend operations for
time.
Water was reached at depth of
little over 400 feet in the main
shaft, which had entered the sui
DHlue zone dDoFe lHlS punt, anu a
working level was opened at a depth
of about 375 feet, which still had a
short distance to go to reach the
main ore-shoot
Work is to be resumed at this
depth, but in the meantime the eff

drifts were advanced along the vein
for considerable distance and ore
of good shipping grade was exposed
in substantial volume. John Houla-

work.

Results of development work in
the property of the Consolidated
Mayflower Mines company, situated
at Pioneer, north of the Bullfrog
district, continue most satisfactory
in character and indicate that pro-
duction will soon place the mine
on a profit-earning basis. Discov-
cries made on three main levels in
recent months are said to justify
the prediction that the company's
mill will be supplied at full capacity
for long period with a product
that will return a handsome profit
to the company.
Ten stamps are again dropping in
the Mayflower mill, which is not de-
pendent upon electric current for
motive power, but which, together
with the mining equipment, is OPP
Grated by oil-burning engines that
are highly efficient and are main
tanned at relatively small expense.
Water for the mill is pumped from
the 500-foot level of the mine and
can be supplemented in case of ne
cessity by an additional supply from
springs not far from the mine, al
though the accumulation of water
on the deepest level of the mine is
ample in volume for all present or
prospective requirements.
Large bodies of good milling ore
have been placed in sight as a re-
suit of recent development work on
the 200, 800 and 40O-foot levels,
while on the first mentioned level
seams of ore of excellent grade
have been found lately and the mine
is in excellent condition, according
to samplings of the various work
ings, reported by President and
Manager w. j. Tobin. The mill,
which was closed down for a time
owing to the breaking of one of the
cam-shafts, has been put in excel
lent condition, provided with new
