MILL TREATING

PRODUCT
OPERATION OF SILVERMINES
CORPORATION MEETING
WITH SUCCESS

Favorable reports continue to
come from the Hornsilver district,
where the new mill of the Silver
mines corporation is treating approx
imately $50 tons of ore daily and
securing a high extraction. Devel--
opment work in the company's mine
is constantly adding to the available
ore reserves and arrangements have
been made to treat custom ore from
other properties in the district, with
some of this ore now being delivered
to the mill.
The entire plant is said to be OPP
Grating smoothly and the company's
main shaft is nearing the 700-foot
point, where a station will be cut
for lateral work. Manager S. H.
Brady visited the property during
the week and after inspecting the
property proceeded to the Kanrohat
mine, in Jefferson Canyon, where he
is remodeling the old mill and plac-
ing in sight good tonnage of fine
milling ore.

tinued to treat approximately 500
tons of ore daily, and its operating
expenses are said to be among the
lowest of any reduction plant in the
state, If not in the entire country,
for the character of ore handled.
Under the direction of Manager
Hutchinson, who was largely instru-
mental in perfecting the treatment
processes used in the .IGoldfield
plant of the company, the Aurora
n,ill has been brought to high de-
gree of efficiency and important
economies have been effected.
In the November report satisfac-
tory results are shown from the de-
velopment work conducted on main
levels in new territory and ore of
excellent milling grade was exposed
during the month on various levels
OF the Mohawk, Clermont, Laguna
ard Grizzly Bear mines. The last
named is included in reports as
part of the Clermont mine, as both
were components of the Jumbo
ground when the latter was absorb
ed into the Consolidated holdings.
Production by lessees forms an
important item in the recent reports
of operations on Consolidated
ground and the gross production
by lease operators in November is
shown to have been $30,736, out Of
which the lessees received the sum
of $11,275. Leases are worked on
the "split-check" system, the les
sees receiving one-half of the net
proceeds from ore produced by
them after reductions are made for
transportation and treatment.
Many leases are now being operated
on the properties of the Consolidat-
ed company. chiefly in the central
territory, where the lessees are
granted blocks of ground in which
they can extend old workings and
follow seams of ore extending out
from the slopes where the larger
deposits have been mined out.
Abnormally high operating costs
have cut into earnings here, as in
every other mining center, and this
burden is felt more keenly where
the ore treated is of low grade. All

ATLANTA MINES GO. BEGINS
TO CUT A STATION
Al 1880 FEET

The work of cutting a station will
be started at once in the deep winze
of the Atlanta, at a point about 130
feet below the 175O-foot level, and
from this station a cross-cut will be
extended to the east to cut the main
Atlanta vein, at about the point
where it forms junction with the
west vein. 1t was planned earlier
to cut the station upon reaching the
surface of the shale, estimated to be
at depth here of 1900 feet, but ow-
ing to the increased flow of water
and the presence of intrusions of
shale, it has been decided to cross
cut at this depth.
Sinking will continue, to prepare
sump below this level, while the
work of cutting a large station is
in progress. The great volume of
water coming into the winze has re-
tarded the progress of sinking to
some extent, as the water accumu-
lates so rapidly that considerable
amount of time is required to pump
it out after each round of shots, in
spite of the large capacity of the new
sinking pump. The winZe is now
draining both veins, to a point far
below any other workings in the dis
trict.
With the station completed at this
point it will be possible to sink more
rapidly, and the sump, which will be
sunk to a considerable depth below
this level, will serve to prospect this
ground at greater depth, we'll below
the surface of the shale. 1t is the
intention of the company to continue
sinking later, in order to explore the
main vein system at depth of 1000
feet, but the first work will be di-
rected to prospecting the vein at and
above the depth of the station now
being started.
At depth of 80 feet below the
1750-foot level the winze penetrated
the hanging wall of the west vein
and has continued in solid quartz
ever since, exposing occasional
seams of pay ore but no deposits of
commercial proportions 1t was not
expected that pay ore would be
found here, as this vein was
opened farther west on the
1750-foot level where it showed

KEWANAS STARTS
WORK OF BIG
PROMISE
OPENING OF ORE BEARING
ZONES FOLLOWS PREPAR-
ATORY WORK

Development work of the Reor-
ganized Kewanas company will pro-
ceed in future under conditions far
more favorable and affording bet
ter chances for success than at any
time heretofore. A large amount of
development work has already been
accomplished, but for the most part
this has been dead work, in pre-
paration for the actual work of
opening and exploring the ore-bear-
ing zones at depth. Lack of pro-
per ventilation has at all times in
the past been an obstacle to pro-
gress and to securing the best re-
suits.
After having made the connection
at depth of $40 feet with the
northern workings of the Jumbo
Junior company, at the north boun-
dairy line of the territory leased
by the latter company from the Ke-
wanas, Manager Darcy proceeded
to drive west cross-cut to the
foot-wall of the big vein, at a point
about 100 feet north of the lease
boundary. This cross-cut, at
point near the foot wall, exposed a
seam of ore of excellent grade,
about Is inches in width.
The cross-cut was continued west,
through the foot-wall and into the
country rock, to determine the
limits of the quartz zone, and then
{. drift was started on the ore-shoot
and has continued to expose ma
tcrial of high grade. This appears

grade vein of ore opened by the
Jumbo Junior company in a winze.
little over 100 feet south of
where it has been found in the Ke-
wanas and where assays of Is
irches of ore ran as high as $500

Other important work is to be
carried on in the southern part
of the Kewanas, including cross
cuts and raises from the main south
drift and from the lone southeast
cross-cut, which has been progress
ing through the ore-channel dia-
gonally with the object of reaching

The greatest interest, however.
centers in the work planned for
the northern part of the property

SHIP ORE FROM
MAYFLOWfR
DRIFTS
PORTANT NEW FINDS
REPORTED

Ore of good grade is being placed
in sight in considerable quantity in
the progress of new work on the
Mayflower mine in the Pioneer dis
trict, according to latest reports
from the property. Manager w. j.
Tobin is pushing forward the work
on all levels of teh mine down to
the 40O-foot point and has lately ex-
posed some good ore in prospecting
from the Starlight shaft.
A drift is to be extended from
the main shaft to connect with the
Starlight shaft, following the main
vein for a distance of 400 feet.
The Mayflower mill is now in oper-
alton, treating ore from the main
workings, and the company is ship
ping ore of good grade to the smelt-
er. The condition of the property
stimulates the belief that it will in
future take rank again as one OF the
foremost precious metal producers
of southern Nevada.

COPPER MOUNTAIN
EXPOSES BIG
DEPOSITS
LARGE TONNAGE OF EXCELL-
ENT COPPER ORE Is
OPENED

Eight feet of ore sampling 1879
per cent copper has been exposed at
the deepest point yet opened in
workings of the Copper Mountain
property, which has been develop
ed to its present excellent condition
by the Jumbo Extension company.
This ore has been opened by a
winze sunk from the No. shaft
workings, in the vein or contact
channel and from which the Miller
Lappat lease extracted a consider
able quantity of good shipping ore,
but the winze is far below the old
lease workings. A carload of ore
shipped recently and taken from
above this point gave returns of
nearly II per cent copper.
While a substantial quantity of
ore of shipping grade has been ex-
posed, in addition to that already
shipped to smelters, officials of the
company and Consulting Engineer
X. Turner are convinced that the
company's greatest asset is the
large tonnage of excellent concen-
trating ore that is being opened in
all workings from the four COM
pany shafts, in ore-bearing zones
over a wide area of ground.
The ore, which appears 10 be
everywhere of marked uniformity
il value, is found in.s the silicified
zones marking the contact between
the volcanic country rock of the
surface and the mOnzonite granite,
the latter appearing in places at the
surface. Drifts have now been ex-
tended from the various shafts for
considerable distances along the
ore-channels and careful sampling
of the ore exposed has shown a
large tonnage averaging from three
to six per cent copper and of a
character we'll suited for concen-
tration.
Test shipments have been made
to determine the best process of
treatment, the question having
arisen as to the application of the
oil flotation process here. Results

Improved conditions in number
of Goldfield mines have been re-
Elected in the stock market during
the past week by substantial advanc-
es embracing the greater part of the
list. In view of the fact that every
person interested in news of the
progress of development in the
mines is an owner or potential
owner of stock, the sharp advance
in quotations, with minimum OF
selling, is taken by market experts
to indicate that investors generally
retain their faith in the Goldfield
mines and cannot be induced to part
with their holdings at low figure,
in spite of the urgent need for ready
money that war conditions have
brought to many owners of mining
company shares 1t is pointed out
that the inevitable return of trading
interest to the metal mining stocks
should again place the Goldfield
issues in a strong position on the
markets of the country, particularly
in view of the excellent physical con-
dition of many of the properties in
the district.
Goldfield still ranks as one of the
foremost precious metal producing
districts in the United States, not
more than one or two gold mining
centers surprising it in point of the
value of monthly output. Opera
tions are now on a basis enabling
producers to ship ore that in the
early days of the district could not
be marketed at profit, while the

CRACKER JACK IS
IN EXCELLENT
CONDITION
NEW WORK is PROVING UP
VEINS OF GOOD
PROMISE

Conditions in the property of the
Reorganized Cracker Jack Mining
company have shown marked i'm
provement during the past week or
two, since the new drifts have be-
gun making headway on the 800
foot level. Two drifts are being
advanced north from the main east
cross-cut on this level, following
separate veins and at distances of
approximately $40 and 500 feet
east of the main shaft.
The drift nearest the shaft appar-
emily is in the main Cracker Jack
fault vein, known farther south as
the Columbia Mountain fault vein,
while the drift farther east Is cx-
ploring a vein that lies between the
fault vein and the well-defined east
vein, known as the Rabbit Trail
vein. The vein being opened here
apparently has its apex at a point
in Cracker Jack territory where the
surface is covered by wash, or ma
terial eroded from neighborlng
higher ground, and therefore there
are no signs of its groupings at the
surface.
At the point where this vein was
intersected by the east cross-cut
the ground was loose and required
close timbering. This also proved
to be in line with a fault extend
ing slightly south of east and which
shows extended movement of the
vein to the west, although the new
vein, itself fault fissure, Is shown
to be without displacement at this
point, indicating that this vein was
formed subsequent to the faulting
that disturbed the adjacent country.
The vein also appears not to have
tcen affected by any cross faulting,
even of small extent.
These conditions, and the discov-
cry of pay material in quantity,
lead to the conclusion that this
vein was formed by fissuring more
recent than the other veins of this
immediate region and that the min
eralized solutions, being confined

no signs of pay ore and contained
little water.
The position of this vein, as re-
vealed in the winze, indicates that
it has flattened from the point
where it reaches the shale and that
1t may follow the contour of the
latter, forming an ore-channel
similar to the shale contact zone ex-
posed elsewhere at depth. 1t is ap-
parent, however, that at this point
both the water and enrichment
come from the main vein, a short
distance to the east, with which it
must connect on its eastward dip,
and these conditions encourage the
belief that important deposits of
pay ore will be found upon explor-
ing the point at which the two big
veins come together.
OF all development projects now
being carried forward in southern
Nevada the deep work of the Allan
ia company is regarded by mining
authorities as potentially by far the
most important, and upon the re-
suits of this work will depend in
large measure the future of deep
mining in the Goldfield district
This work is designed to prove the
value of theories held by some OF
the foremost geologists of the
country, who have expressed the
conviction that pay ore would even

Production and earnings of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany for the month OF November
are set forth in the final report for
that month, just prepared by Gen
eral Manager ]. w. Hutchinson and
submitted to President George
Wingfield. Both ore production
and net realization fell consider
ably short of normal figures, the
total output of ore from the mines
totaling 1880 tons, while profits
for the month from the treatment
OF ore and mill tailings were &c.,
$50. The cyanide department of
the company's big mill treated dur
ing the month 14,459 tons of mill
failing.
1t is indicated that the falling of
in value of production in Nevem-
ber was more than made up in the
profit of December operations, as
a preliminary estimate of results
obtained in the latter month place
the net realization in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
Recent reports from the Aurora
mine, which is controlled and oper-
ated by the Goldfield Consolidated
company, point to a material I'M

GREAT BEND MINE
HAS LARGER
OUTPUT
CONDITION OF PROPERTY NOW
SHOWS A STEADY I'M
PROVEMENT

Shipments of ore from the Great
Bend mine during the past month
have exceeded in volume those OF
any recent month and the quality OF
the ore extracted has been somewhat
better than for some time past. OW-
ing to the fact that the ore found
throughout the part of the district
in which the Great Bend mine is
situated is more or less spotted and
erratic in value, little attention is
paid to mine assays in appraising
the value of ore extracted, and the
entire product is subjected to a
careful platform sampling process,
which as rule matches closely the
results reported from the sampler to
which the product is shipped.
Near the eastern extremity of the
property the main drift on the 3O0-
foot level has connected with the
old DR.. Lockhart lease shaft, from
which ore of exceedingly high grade
was extracted by the lessees several
wears ago. No record of the lessees'
work is available to show the exact
depth of this shaft, but it is believed
to be about 400 feet.
Upon making the connection with
the old workings it was found that
the shaft contains water nearly to
the point of the connection, and it
has therefore not been possible to
explore the old deeper workings, but
preparations are now being made to
unwater the shaft to the bottom ana
to reopen all old workings and sam
pie them carefully in the search for
the ore-shoot that yielded the high
grade shipping ore.
Owing to errors in the only exist
ing maps of the old workings, the
connection was not made at the point
expected and additional surveys
were required before the desired
point could be reached. This ground
will now be explored in thorough
manner, by reopening the old work
ings and by extending new drifts
cross-cuts and raises, and the devel-
opment work will be carried farther
east, to the Daisy-Great Bend bound
airy line.
In the course of it's work on the
l6O and 3O0-foot levels the Great
Bend has exposed several large bod
les of shipping ore, in addition to
substantial tonnage of excellent mill
ore. which will eventually be treated
on the property. For this purpose
the mill that is now on the ground
will be remodeled and equipped with
modern machinery.

for November shows an output for
that month considerably below nor
NAL, but indicates good results in
the opening of new territory on
main levels of the various mines.
During November the company's mill
treated 1850 tons of ore and A.

Atlanta Mines Co.
Progress in sinking the deep winZe
below the 1750-foot level of the At
lanta mine has been impeded to
some extent by the almost over
whelming flow of water. The sink
ing pump installed a short time ago
is of adequate capacity, but the
winze is now draining both the
main and west veins and water ac-
cumulates so rapidly that a consider
able time is required to unwater the
winze after each round of shots. 1t
has been decided to cut the station
at once, at depth of about 1875
feet, and to continue sinking a
sump below this point. The pres
ence of shale intrusions indicates
that the winZe has reached a point
close to the shales surface and suf-
ficient depth has already been at
tanned to cut, in driving to the east,
the point where the two great veins
form junction. The water can also
be handled to better advantage by
establishing the working station at
this point.
