was noted upon reaching the shale,
but the volume is not great and has
been handled readily by bailing.
Provision for keeping the water out
of the mine was made some time
ago by the purchase of a pump of
large capacity, which is now on the
ground and which will be installed
as soon as the sump is completed.
1t is not believed that any large
flow of water will develop here, as
the contact channel probably is
drained at this depth by the slightly
deeper drifts of the Kewanas, to the
west and nearer the main source of
the water.
While no ore of commercial grade
was exposed in sinking through the
contact channel, 1t is pointed out
that no ore was expected here and
that the formation can be regarded
as in every way favorable, the
quartz of the contact zone being
highly mineralized and similar in
every way to that of the ore-bear-
ing zone opened elsewhere. Zinc of
a high degree of purity has been
found in many seams, which is
generally accepted as an indication
of the presence of other metals at
no great distance. Laterals will
now be driven along the surface of
the shale to explore for an ore
body.

GRANDMA SHAFT IN SHALE
AND LATERAL WORK
NOW PLANNED
Systematic exploration

Systematic exploration of the
shale contact zone will be in prog
ress shortly at a depth of over 500
feet in the property of the Grandma
Consolidated Mining company and
mining men of the district express
confidence in the successful outcome
of this work. The shale was ex-
posed recently at depth of about
815 feet, after long campaign of
sinking, in which Superintendent
J. X. Turner and Foreman L. l..
Dellinger have completed one of the
best and most substantially timbered
working shafts in the entire district.
In the course of sinking, a silici-
fled zone was penetrated and passed
through at a depth of about $50
feet, or at about the point where
the shaft was expected to cut the
Grandma-Spearhead vein, having it's
apex in Grandma territory, some dis
tance west of the main shaft, and
with dip apparently of about As
degrees to the east. 1t was deter
mined by the management, however,
rather than undertake any costly
development work at that point. to
proceed with the sinking of the
shaft, in order to reach and explore
the shale contact zone.
This decision was strengthened
by the results that have been OBJ
tanned in exploring the contact zone
farther to the south, in the Jumbo
Extension property, where the same
management had opened an orebody
that yielded considerably over ST.
100000 worth of high-grade shipping
ore, and was further stimulated by
the finding of rich ore in the same
zone, a short distance to the west,
in the Kewanas property. In the
sinking of this deep shaft the man
agement has established highly
creditable record for progress and
economy of expense.
Now that the shale has been
reached the plans of Engineer Tur-
ner to explore the contact zone will
be put in operation without delay.
First it is necessary to complete the
sump below the surface of the shale,
and in order to handle the accumu-
lating water, after sinking a short
distance below the present bottom
of the shaft, cross-cut will be ex-
tended to form a reservoir of ample
capacity to guard against the flood
ing of the bottom levels.
An increase in the flow of water

Ore of shipping grade is being
broken in good volume in the
course of development work in the
property of the Red Hill Florence
Mining company and the eighth
large carload of smelling ore was
loaded out from the shipping bins
near the collar of the shaft late this
week. Returns have been received
by the company from some of the
earlier shipments, aggregating over
$4,000, but all returns from ore
sent to the smelter have not yet
been received from the Western
Ore Purchasing company. to whose
sampler at Hazen the ore is first
shipped.
Development work continues with
good results on the three main levels
of the Red Hill mine, the 800, 400
and 500, and the recent discovery
on the last named level appears to
be developing into one of consider
able Importance. From the north
drift on this level a cross-cut was
driven short distance to the east,
where it penetrated the parallel ore
channel, known as the Rogers vein,
and at this point Foreman McGill
reported over two feet of high-grade
shipping ore.
On this level, at a depth of 500
feet, the workings are now to be
extended farther to the east, into
the Red King claim of the Florence,

Work in developing some of the
free milling ore has been started
from the third level, raise being
started from the level close to the
mud fault to tap the vein known
as the high-grade ledge, which pro-
duced considerable tonnage of high
grade free milling ore above the
200 level. Drifting on the big mud
vein from the third level has also
been commenced.
Both of these orebodies are free
milling and are found west of the
shaft. Upon the developing of suffi-
cient tonnage the ore will be mill
ed locally. The east orebody is
also being prospected further from
the fifth level with drifts being
carried out on it, both ways from
where tapped by the cross-cut.

advisable to continue the shaft

Due to power line trouble not
much footage has been gained as
yet in the shaft, but as the ground
Is becoming easier to break with
the shots as depth is gained, it is
expected that good substantial

this level the floors of the old work
ings show quantities of rich ore.
Work below this depth was rendered
difficult by strong flow of water
and the pumps installed were of only
small capacity. The new manage
ment will conduct operations in a
different manner, providing against
any interruption from this source.
Attempts to sink the main shaft
below the shallow levels worked
were defeated by water and lack OF
proper equipment. 1t is the plan of
the new owners to drive a cross-cut
on the present bottom level far into
the country rock on the hanging wall
side of the big lode, and to sink
deep winZe to cut the vein on it's
dip far belo~ II conditions are then
found to be favorable, a raise will
be extended vertically OF the surface
and in this manner new working
shaft will be formed, through which
the water can be handled without
difficulty.
Plans are also being considered for
the further development of the
Black Butte. property. situated in the
Diamondfield division of the Gold
field district and which al
ready has made a production of
shipping ore estimated at upwards
of 100000. Faulting of the ore
bodies in this property created geo
logical problems that baffled the
lessees operating at various periods.
but with the knowledge of the ge-
ology of this territory gained by
working other property on the same
belt, it is believed that these prob
lens can be solved and that the
faulted extension of rich orebodies
in the Black Butte will be found in
further work.
Two distinct vein systems are
known to exist on the Black Butte
property and both have yielded large
quantities of pay ore. The north
ern or Quartzite vein was mined
in the early days of the district and
| produced. according to smelter re-
turns made to the les1ees, in the
neighborhood of 100000 worth of
high-grade ore
| Later operations resulted in the
extraction of considerable quanti-
Y of shipping ore from leased ground
at the southern part of the butte,
from what was known as the Fiat
vein but the relationship of these
and otner tributary veins has never
been established by systematic de-
velopment work. A large tonnage
Of good mill ore was exposed in the
progress of development work and
is still available for treatment, many
hundreds of tons lying on the sur
face dumps,
