Four working faces at widely
separate points in the Great Bend
mine are now in ore of excellent
shipping grade, with the best sh Dw-
ing in the raise from the 160-soot
level, driven to cut the ore-shoot
opened by the main stope. The
back of this raise now shows a
width of seven feet of ore, of which
five feet yields average assays of
$531.27 per ton. Recent ship
ments have been maintaining an
average value of approximately $44
per ton and this average probably
will be greatly exceeded in future
shipments.

above the 250-foot level, was stop

60 feet above this level, producing
an excellent grade of shipping ore,
including some that was very rich.

RED HILL DEPOSIT
IS PROVING
BONANZA
RICH ORE STILL SHOWN IN
WINZE FROM 400
LEVEL

The winze from the 4OO-foot
level of the Red Hill Florence mine
continues in ore of high shipping
grade and a considerable quantity
of smelling ore, ranging in value
from $50 to over $500 per ton,
has been hoisted to the surface
and stored on a dump or in old
surface workings for future ship
ment. In addition to this ore the
management has sacked some ore
from the bonanza part of the vein
that has assayed into the thousands
of dollars per ton, and it is planned
to make shipment of this rich ma
terial in the near future.
Sinking has progressed to a
depth of nearly so feet below the
400-foot level, on the dip of the
vein, and Manager Kendall is now
preparing to start a drift to the
south, following the ore back to-
ward the main workings of the
Red Hill Florence. He will then
drive cross-cut under the ore on
the 500-foot level and raise for a
connection, which will greatly fa-
cilitate Stopping operations and de-
livery of the ore to the cage.
The point where the rich ore was
first exposed on the 400-foot level
is in the northern part of the Red
Hill property, near the boundary
line of the Florence Goldfield prop
erty, adjoining on the east, and the
vein dips to the east, apparently in
to Florence ground. Soon after
announcement was made of the new

surements, in unwatering the winZe,
Manager Darcy is now able to
compute accurately the amount of
the flow coming into the winze and
to provide pumping capacity ac-
cordingly. Now that the station
and sump are completed and the
pumping plant operating in good
order, 1t is no longer necessary to
keep the pumps at work constant
ly, and the water problem will
cause no further anxiety.
The big station at the 1900 level
has been cut in the shale, just be-
low its surface, upon which rests
a wide zone of quartz of great den
sity OF structure. This quartz chan.
mel Is the west vein, exposed on the
175O-foot level and which appar-
emily, upon reaching the shale, has
flattened to an agile not far from
the horizontal, on its dip to the
east. This quartz mass is about
70 feet in depth, as it was penetrat-
ed by the winze only 80 feet below
the 175O-foot level. The quartz is
solid and exceedingly compact, re-
quiring no timbering, and is not
affected by water or exposure to
the air.
At the point where the big work
ing station has been cut the shale
is silicified to some extent and is
also hard and stands well. The
cross-cut started in the shale, but
is expected to again enter the
quartz of the west vein within a
short distance and to. continue in
this material until the main Allan
ia vein is reached, at an estimated
distance of $50 feet. Many seams

Mines OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT
CONTINUE ACTIVE development
Manhattan Chamber of Mines)

The claims of the Morning Glory
body of the White Caps mine, based
on its assertion of apex rights, were
decisively defeated a few days ago
when the jury in the case decided
that the contentious of the Morn
ing Glory company were without
foundation.
This conclusion was reached
after trial which occupied the at
tention of the local court for six
weeks and proved to be the most
keenly contested suit, and doubtless
the most far-reaching in it's con-
sequences, that has ever been tried
in southern Nevada.
The Morning Glory side was rep
resented by very able counsel, who
had the assistance of expert geolo-
gists of distinguished ability. The
same observation applies with equal
force to the White Caps side.
The case is too complicated even
in it's general aspects to permit of
satisfactory treatment in a brief
news article, although fundament-
ally the whole controversy arose
over the question as to whether the
large faulted lime belt which at
ono noipt in the Morning GLORY
property crosses into the White
Caps ground through their common
sideline, and in which in places
large bodies of ore have been de-

Mine developments of the past
week have been among the most
important of recent years in the
Goldfield district and their impor-
tance has been reflected in pro-
nounced degree in the markets.
Trading in Goldfield stocks has
again assumed the proportions
OF earlier years, with a flood of
orders from all the principal mar
ket centers and with hundreds of
telegraphic requests for authentic
news from the mines Apparently
it requires only the fulfillment of
reliable forecasts in connection
with two of the leading properties
to bring a veritable boom market.
The recent discovery of bonanza
ore in the Red Hill Florence prop
erty, near the Florence Goldfield
boundary, appears to have recall
ed to the attention of the invest
ing public the fact that a large
amount of highly important devel-
opment work is in progress in the
Goldfield district and that the pos
sibilities of developing new divi-
dend paying mines here are not
only far from being exhausted, but
by reason of the sinking of a num-
ber of deep shafts and the opening
of large areas of virgin territory
are better than at any time in re-
cent years.
No less than a dozen mines in
the Goldfield districts now have IN
sight ore of grade that can be
shipped profitably to smelters,
while a number of others could
be placed on a profit-earning basis
with reduction facilities available
in the form of local custom mill.
Counting the great Consolidated as
only a single mine and eliminating
the large number of producing
leases on various properties, there
are at least II mines in the dis
trict that can produce shipping ore.
among which are seven or eight
that have already established good
records for production in the past.
In addition to this list are sew
eral properties upon which develop
ment work of preparatory char
acter has been in progress for
many months and which may at
any time develop into producing
mines. The wartime apathy in
mining circles, and particularly in
the mining share markets, has
created an impression outside OF
the mining region that the mining
industry was languishing and that

will then be a comparatively easy
matter to crOss-cut to point under

the mines had been greatly reduc-
ed. There has been no indication
of such a condition in Goldfieli,
however, and in spite of increase i
operating costs the mines have
worked on normal basis and plans
have been laid for extensive work

tions are assured.
Red Hill Florence
At depth of nearly so feet the

At a depth of 1900 feet in the
property of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany a cross-cut is now being driven
east from the station recently COM
pleted at the bottom of the deep
winze, sunk from the 1750-foot
level. Below this station sump
has been completed, enabling the
management to handle the large
flow of water without difficulty
and with no danger of interruption
through the flooding of the work
ings as a result of any unexpected
cutting of of electric power or
other cause of delay.
Throughout the progress of deep
work in the Atlanta the heavy
volume of water encountered has
been one of the chief obstacles to
progress, and even with the present
powerful pumping plant some diff
Guilty was experienced in sinking
the deep winze. Since penetrating
the shale, however, it is apparent
that all the ground above has been
drained of water held in accumula-
tion and the flow at present is only
the volume that was found to be
normal on the 1750-foot level.
An interruption to pumping at
about the time the station on the
1900-foot level was being complet-
ed caused the winze to partly fill
with water and by subsequent mea-

PRESENCE OF QUARTZ II
SHAFT Is FAVORABLE
INDICATION

Developments of Importance are
confidently expected as a result of
the work that has been conducted
by the Grandma Consolidated COM
pany and these results, according
to the opinion of mining men ia
miliar with the. property, should
not be long delayed. In fact the
company's main shaft has now
reached a depth where the ore
bearing zones may be penetrated
at almost any time and the appear
ance of boulders of quartz in the
latte is taken as evidence of the
approach to the shale contact zone.
The Grandma Consolidated Mines
company, which is controlled by
Charles s. Sprague and associates,
has been sinking without Interrupt
tion for many months past, with
the object of reaching and explor-
ing the shale contact zone, in which
some of the most valuable ore
bodies of the district have been
found. Consulting Engineer j. K.
Turner and Superintendent Lou
Dellinger have estimated that the
contact zone would be entered by
the shaft at depth of about $50
feet.
Owing to the uneven contour of
the shale's surface, it has been re-
cognized by the men in charge of
the work that the depth of the
shale here might be SO or even 100
feet deeper than their estimate,
but on the other hand it is pos
down over 700 feet. may be near
ing the objective point and that
the typical ore-bearing formations
of the district may be revealed at
any time.
Final payment was made in De-
cember by the Grandma company
for the adjoining Sunrise group of
claims, which have been incorpor-
ated in the Grandma company's s
holdings. This has enabled the
company to apply all of the money
received from it's lass assessment
) to the development of the mine.
Che company's administrative ex-
penses are exceedingly low and its
oDeratiOns have been conducted
with the highest degree of economy
and efficiency.
Results of deep work in adjoin-
ing territory have stimulated the
belief that the Grandma will open

order to determine If the ore ex-
tends into Florence ground. 1t
has been stated by officials of both
companies that under no circum-
stances would there be any dispute
over the ownership of this ore that
could result in any legal action and
it is generally conceded that the
extra-lateral rights of the Red Hill
Florence company in this ground
are incontestable. A considerable
quantity of high-grade shipping ore
has been hoisted to the surface,
in the progress of sinking the winze
and it is said that a shipment will
go forward to the sampler within a
short time.
Atlanta Mines Co.
at a depth of 1900 feet in the At
lanta mine, the deepest work yet
conducted in southern Nevada. The
big station at the bottom of the
deep winZe has been completed and
a cross-cut is now being driven to
the east to cut the main Atlanta
vein, upon which the hopes of the
management, and of the entire
camp and district, are centered.
Biologists, mining engineers and
experienced mining men who are
familiar with conditions here are
confident that important develop
ments will result from the opening
of the main Atlanta vein at this
depth and as the distance to the
vein is estimated at about $50 feet
and the company is now equipped
for rapid work, something in the
way of concrete results should be
forthcoming within the next 80 to
40 days, with the possibility that
the cross-cut may expose ore
in paying quantity in the great
quartz zone west of the foot-wall
of the main vein.

The Kewanas property is now be-
ing developed in a manner better
calculated than through any pre-
vious work to make a producing

ore in varying quantity has been
found at a number of points in the
property, but only recently has the
property been but in shape for min
ing on a broad scale, through sup
plying ample ventilation to the
deep workings and providing for
handling the water to the best ad-
vantage. The main vein Is now

The development in the White

ADMIRAL SIMS
 CQMMENDS MEN OF LAKE 60,

Manager Philip B. Brill of the Lake Torpedo Boat Go. of this city, has re- ceived the following letter from Vice Admiral Sims, commander of the U. S. naval forces in foreign waters, dated London, Aug. 13:
 My dear MT Brill:
 I have just received your letter of July 18th enclosing a photograph and newspaper clipping showing the pa triotic cooperation of your workers with the personnel of the navy.
 This is exceedingly gratifying to a man over here who thinks and dreams in terms of the military weapons upon which he has to depend: If all of the workers in the United States could once completely understand that they are really fighting in this war, I am sure they would all spit on their hands and keep busy from whistle to whis- tie. Generally speaking the success of our armies is going to depend upon two classes of vessels. One is the merchant vessel to bring over what the armies must have in order to suc- ceed and the other are the anti-sub- marine craft to oppose the submarine and to make the passage of our troops and supplies reasonably safe.
 Very sincerely yours.
 (signed) VIM. S. SIMS,
 Vice Admiral U. S. Navy.
