Tonopah Miner: The Tonopah
Belmont sent to the mill 2O6S tons,
the Tonopah Mining 300 tons, the
Tonopah Extension 2444 tons, the
Jim Butler LOG tons, the West End
1149 tons, the Rescue ga tons, the
MacNamara 315 tons, the Montana
So tons and the Monarch Pittsburgh
IL tons, making the total produc-
tion for the week 9910 tons, the es-
timated value being $165,470. This
valuation is calculated on the gross
milling value of the ore.
The intensive mining operations
of the Tonopah Mining company at
its local property have gone forward
with the same vigor as reported In
previous weeks, and while the foot
age attained, namely, 81 feet, is
considered lower than the average.
the usual production of ore was
made from the slopes and from the
dumps on the surface.
AS illustrated by July earnings,
the company put 1925 tons of ore
through the mill and produced 1893
ounces of gold and 116,S2O ounces
of silver.
w. B. Blackburn, superintendent
of mining for the coplpany's opera
tions at Tonoca and outside proper
ties, returned on Wednesday from

ordination.
AS in the preceding week, there
was no development work in the
Silver Top ground on the first and
second levels, but the regular stop
ing work was continued on the $40
foot level, where the hanging wall
portion of the filled stope is yield
ing satisfactory tonnages of good
mill-grade ore. There has been no
change in the conditions on the
Burro No. 2 vein, which. at it's
eastern extremity in the Mizpah
ground, is being worked through

the Silver Top shaft. The vein
continues to show a two-foot width.
Rescue
That an exceptional strike has
been recently made in the Rescue
mine is not only indicated by the
sharp rise in the stock that oc-
Cured during the week. but also by
samples that have been taken across
an eight-foot face of ore on the
1050-foot level. Two separate and
distinct veins have been opened up
on this level, being designated as
the hanging wall vein and the foot
wall vein. On the latter vein a
winze was sunk 80 feet on a two
foot ledge, which continued to be-
come richer as depth was gained
until at the bottom of the winze
samples taken across the two feet
returned values from $50 to $3.50
per ton. After the winze reached a
depth of 80 feet it was discontinued
and in it's place raise was started
from the 1150-froot level, in a
cross-cut that was run out from the
bottom of the old Heney winze, to
intersect the downward extension Of
the vein appearing in the winze.
This raise has been extended a dis
tance of 80 feet and it is expected
that any round of shots will break
into the ledge, and, after this is ac-
complished, there will be about so
feet of backs between the point of
intersection and the winze.

The first semi-mopthly cleanup at
the Tonopah Exteision Mining COM
pany was completed late last week,
and on Sunday last shipment of
1S bars of bullion was made to the
smelters. The shipment weighed
54,45O ounces, and has valuation,
according to the estimates of the
company, of 100000.
The development work at the
mine is going forward in most
vigorous manner, as evidenced by
the total tonnages recorded at each
section of the property during the

OF
GOLDF|ELD
IN RENO
HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE IN
FUTURE OF GOLD
CAMP
(Ry r. l.. Richie)

RENO. New, Aug. 23. = Reno's
population appears to be made up
largely of former residents of Gold
field. You meet dozen Of them
to the block on Virginia street and
groups of them, men and women,
may be seen holding reunions at
the street corners at any hour of
the day or night. The old Gold
field spirit still holds it's place in
the hearts of those who have left
the camp and it is plain that any
bring all the old-timers back in a
stampede.
Loyalty to the once greatest Of
gold camps and unfaltering faith in
it's future are expressed by these
exiles, every one of whom lives i'm
the hope of some day returning to
revived and rejuvenated Goldfield.
You hear them say: Yes, the
camp is quiet, but it is not dead by
digging in Goldfield there are big
chances for making new rich
Mines" Some of those who were
most respondent before migrating
are now among the strongest boost
ers for the gold camp.
Mining men of other districts who
are familiar with conditions in the
Goldfield district and who speak
with authority declare that Goldfield
still has before it a long life of
profitable mine operation and pro-
duction. They point to the fact
that Goldfield thus far has been a
high-grade district and that no
steps have been taken to treat the
medium and low-grade ores of the
district on a large scale and draw
comparisons with Cripple Creek and
other districts where low-grade ores
have proved the greatest sources Of
revenue. They agree that existing
conditions, due to the war, must
preclude the handling of this ore
for the present, but declare that the
return of normal conditions will be
the signal for great expansion in
the mining of ores such as exist in
Goldfield.
s. Fl. Brady, manager of the JEFF
ferson Gold and Silver Mining COM
pany and the Silvermines corpora
tion, has arrived here from the
southern camps and has gone to San
Francisco. He will leave within
few days for New York on business
that may affect in important meas
ure the enterprises he is conduct
ing in southern Nevada. He re-
ports developments of great i'm
portance on the jefferson Canyon

Tonopah Miner: Dhe week s
work in the White Caps is reported
as follows: From the second lev
ell, raise 201 is being put up on a
small stringer of very rich ore.
From the fourth level stope 405 re-
mains the same during the weeks s
work, both in size and in the av-
erage values obtained from the ore
extracted. Raise 400 shows 10 feet
of ore in the face with no hanging
wall in sight This raise is on the
shaft orebody, west of the working
shaft. Stopping operations in 404
and 4O6 slopes in the east orebody
has demonstrated no change for

ATLANTA RAISING
TO PROSPECT
CONTACT
NEW WORKING is ADVANCING
IN LOW-GRADE
ORE

A raise from the 18S0foot level
of the Atlanta is being run to ex-
plore the shale-latite contact. This
raise is being run from cross-cut
SO feet from a winze sunk from
the 175O-foot level and has been ad-
vanced 20 feet in low-grade ore.
The best ore exposed in any work
below the 1750-foot level of the At
lanta was found in an incline winze,
sunk to prospect the foot-wall of
the vein at a point some distance
north of the vertical winze from the
1900-foot level.
The foot-wall, as exposed in the
winze, was found to show numerous
seams of good ore, some of which
assayed over 500 per ton in gold,
silver and copper.
The raise now being driven is so
feet north of this winze.

WEST DRIFT IN DIVIDE
HAS EXPOSED GOOD ORE

Tonopah Miner: The report for
the week of the Tonopah Divide
Mining company shows that the
work at this property consists of
drifting on the ledge in a narth-
westerly direction on the 370-foot
level. The drift is out. distance
of so feet from the main cross-cut
and the same interesting condition
is disclosed here as was evidenced
in the other sections of the vein,
which was opened up by a drift in
southeasterly direction on this
same level. The drift is being car
ried along the foot-wall side of the
vein in $50 ore, which has showed
in the face for the entire distance
of 20 feet. At this point a cross
cut has been started to the hanging
wall ON the vein and should reach
its objective within the next few
days, disclosing the width of the
vein and the grade of the ore.
The southeast cross-cut on the
37O-foot level has been discontin-
Ied, pending the installation of
electric power, the present equip
ment being inadequate to advance
the faces of both drifts at the same
time. While most of the electrical
equipment is on the ground, there
are certain parts that have been de-
layed in transit, and with the un-
certainty that surrounds all freight
shipments at this time, there is
really no way of telling definitely

The Pioneer mine and mill sus-
pended operations on Dec. l, 1916,
at the time the Nevada-California
Power company withdrew its electric
power service from the camps of
southern Nye county.
The most important development
of the Pioneer mine attempted in
recent years is now being started
by the Reorganized Pioneer Mines
company, and during the present
week work was resumed in the Pho
neer and mining operations that will
be watched with interest are under
way under the management of the
Reorganized Pioneer Mines COM
pany.
A drift running northwest and
known as drift No. is being ex-
tended along a red clay contact. The
object of extending this drift is to
explore new territory below the
Rickard winze, farther up the hill,
where Tex Rickard and associates
mined some good ore years ago.
This drift is being extended along
the same contact that marks the
boundary line of the bonanza stope
ore and into territory with sur

when the remainder of the appara-
tus will arrive, although it is ex-
pected in the very near future. Un-
til such time as every part of the
electrical equipment arrives it will
be impossible to connect up with the
Nevada-California Power company's g
line, and the Divide company will
have to be content with the limited
progress that can be made with the
present Inadequate gasoline plant.
The shipping of "a carload of ore
each day has not been put into ef-
feet yet, as the management is
awaiting the electric power, which
will enable it to furnish the Gold
field Consolidated mill the sched-
uled tonnage each day.
Operations at the Dividend are
continuing without interruption,
with little change of any kind hav-
ing occurred since the previous re-
port was made. The east cross-cut,
which was run from the north drift
at point 60 feet from the shaft is
out something over 100 feet and has
just passed through the regular for
nation, with the indications being
excellent for encountering an ore
body in the near future. At several
places the cross-cut has intersected
quantities of big highly mineralized
stringers, but as yet no ledge has
been encountered These indica-
tions however, lend every encourage
ment to the management to drive
ahead with a vim.

opment work under General Manag-
er j. B. Kendall have been highly
satisfactory and the physical condi-
ton of the property is regarded as
excellent, particularly in view of the
fact that development work to date
has only been sufficient to explore
the ore-channels to limited degree.
The car shortage, caused by war
time conditions, has retarded pro-
duction to great extent and 1t has
been found impossible to ship any
volume of dump ore owing to the
extreme difficulty of obtaining cars.
In addition to this, smelter settle
ments have been slow, but these are
difficulties in the way of all gold
mining at present and cannot be
avoided.
Through arrangements with
smelters, made in the past few
months. the company is enabled to
realize good profits from the ship
ment of ore which heretofore could
not be handled profitably and it is
certain that the Red Hill will realize
big sums from this and medium
grade shipping ore, which will be
sent to the smelter as rapidly as
cars can be secured.

The Red Hill Florence mine is
now in better condition, both as to
amount and grade of ore exposed,
than at any time since it has been
operated by the present manage
ment.
The company has shipped recent
ly eight carloads of ore and, in ad-
dition to this, two and one-half tons
of sacked ore has been sent to the
smelter. At present 165 tons, of
an estimated value of $35, are
awaiting Shipment, together with
500 tons of Sc ore.
In addition to the material ready
for shipment, six working faces in
the mine are showing ore assaying
from 1920 to $67.45 per ton, as
follows: Two feet of $13 ore is
exposed in 3O3 drift, three feet of
SAP ore in 401 raise, Is inches of
$54.50 ore in 507 drift, 20 inches of
1926 ore in 512 raise. two feet of
1920 ore in $50 drift and three
feet of $67.45 ore in 513 winze.
Although recent ore exposures
have not been dependable enough
for the company to be assured a
regular production over any stated
period of time. the results of deSel-

face showing far more promising
than the surface Immediately over
the bonanza stope where ore that
averaged 500 per ton was broken
over a width of 20 feet. The drift
will cut the old Rickard lease
territory at depth of 400 feet be-
low the surface.
In view of the fact that practic-
ally all bonanza ore so far develop
ed in the Pioneer mine has been
found on the red clay contact, drift
No. is expected to develop a good
grade of ore as soon as the terri
tory Immediately below the Rickard
winze, which produced picture ore,
is opened.
The most important work, how
ever, that will be carried on in the
Pioneer mine will be the sinking of
the main Pioneer shaft, which is
now down 415 feet.
Preparations are already under
way for sinking the shaft to the
permanent water level in accord
ance with the recommendations of
the company's engineer. j. X. Tur-
ner. 1t is estimated water level
will be reached at a depth of 500
feet.

HAWTHORNE
Man SHIPS
BAR|UM
TO PLANTS ON
COAST

F. B. House of Hawthorne was in
Goldfield few days ago.
House is mining barium in Min
eral county, one mile from Kinkead
siding, midway between Luning and
Hawthorne. He employees from three
to six men on the property, which
he has worked for the past year,
and came to Goldfield to purchase a
new truck to haul ore to the siding.
Since last November, when ship
ments were started, the mine has
produced 1850 tons of ore, or twen-
ty-five 50-ton carloads. The price
secured it $3.50 a ton, loaded at
the siding and without war tax. The
property is one mile from the rail-
road.
Barium is used in the prepara-
tion of peroxide, for glazing paper,
as a base for paints and in many
other ways. The American Barium
company, operating big plant in
but peroxide and a calsomine COM
pany in Berkeley uses large guam
titles of the mineral. These are
the two points to which House ships
the product of his mine.
Most of the barium produced in
the United States comes from the
Carolinas, Missouri and Georgia.
According to government reports,
production was limited until last
year and the product of the west
was not included in estimates.
The ore is extremely heavy and
House st..tes that one piece he re-
Gently seSunI, r.Gghi" nine inches
square, weighed 165 pounds. The
American Barium company former
ly operated nearby and on one occa-
sion a car shipped by them was not
weighed at Hazen and continued
along the line. When it was weigh
ed it was found to contain 100 tons
and 100 pounds and the railroad Of
ficials narrowly escaped expiring
of heart failure when they found
what had been hauled over the
road. The ore makes tonnage fast
and a 5O-ton shipment occupies lit
tie space.
The ore mined by House is in a
fissure and to what depth it extends
is not known, as the deepest point
worked is 80 feet below the surface
and all work is in open cuts. The
deposit has been opened for a dis
tance of $50 feet on the surface and
has been found to vary from two
of seven and one-half feet in width.
The best grade of ore mined came
from a point where the vein was
widest and the higher-grade deposit
extended for 15 feet in length.
