DEEP LEVEL is NOW BEING
OPENED FROM COMPANY'S
SHAFT

Operations CT the Silvermines cor

south of Goldfield, are reported to
be progressing in highly satisfac-
tory manner and a substantial ton
mage of excellent milling ore is being
treated in the company's reduction
plant. The main working shaft,
sunk on the rather steep incline OF
the Great Western vein, has reached
a depth of $50 feet and large sta
tion is nearing completion at the
9O0-foot point.
At the point where this station Is
being cut the shaft is in quartz that
is highly mineralized, but is slightly
below commercial grade. Large
bodies of good mill ore have been
exposed in sinking and on various
levels above, however, and no doubt
is entertained that lateral work on
the 900-foot level will expose large
quantities of similar ore. At this
depth the shaft has not yet reached
the permanent water level, but the
presence of much sulphide material
here indicates that the bottom of

In the White Caps development
work for the past week, the west
drift on the 500 level has advanced
20 feet and the face of the drift
is now in a distance of 1853 feet
from the station. The formation
encountered remains the same as
last week, shale and quartzite with
an occasional band of limestone.
The balance of the work in the mine
has been devoted to extraction OF
ore, although the work has proven
some great additions to the known
ore In the mine.
This is especially true of the
southwest crosscut being run from
the SOC sill, this cross cut being ex-
tended through barren streak OF
limestone and the last two rounds
being in ore averaging $50 per ton,
with solid ore in the face. Without
question this new ore will extend to
the east fault and will average
about 20 in width.
From 302 stope, which is now
being mined above the second level
in the mine, the stope is producing
ore from the hanging-wall OF the
main orebody which has been work
ed from this second level to the
surface, and is producing ore averag-
ing an ounce of gold to the ton and
with a width of 80 feet for the
newly developed ore. From stope
4O6, sill floor, the sill is being en-
larged to the west, and is produc-
ing a good grade of mill ore. The
SOC sill is also being enlarged to
the west, and au enormous tonnage
of mill ore is broken ready for
hoisting.

MATERIAL AT 15O-FOOT
LEVEL

Ore assaying $50 in gold and
four per cent copper has been
found in seams at the 150-foot level
Of the property of the Butte Gold
field company, in the Gold Noun
tain district, SO miles south of
Goldfield.
The sinking of the shaft to the
150-foot level recently was COM
pleted and drifting started to the
east toward the old Randolph pro-
perty. 1t was not expected that
ore would be opened until the
drift had been advanced for at
least 200 feet, parallel to the tun-
mel at the mouth of which the in
cline shaft is sunk, but ore was
found at the bottom of the shaft
and the drift is now being driven

speed in the face of great obstacles.
An overwhelming flow of water
was encountered in sinking, the orig
inal pumping equipment proving al
together inadequate to handle this
volume, and after a new and pow
erful sinking pump had been in
stalled further delay was caused
by the pump falling into the sump
below the station. Other delays re-
suited from the failure to secure
prompt delivery of parts of machin-
cry needed.
All these difficlties were over
come, however, and the entire plant
is now in excellent working condi-
ton, insuring satisfactory progress
in future. The character of the
ground at this depth, both in the
shale and in the wide quartz zone
Immediately above the shale, has
been a point of considerable advan-
tage in this work, as the rock is
hard, unaffected by water or expos
ure to the air, and requires no tim
bering
There is no reason to expect a
greater flow of water upon penetrat-
ing the foot-wall of the main vein,
as it is apparent that this vein has
been drained to the depth of the
cross-cut, through fissures extending
from the main vein into the west
vein. The great flow of water met
with in sinking the winze must have
come from this vein, as the flow
subsided later to a volume approx
mately equal to the normal flow on
the 1750-foot level, and since sink
ing the deep winze the workings on
the 175O-foot level have been prac-
tically devoid of water.
Belief that pay ore will be found
in exploring the big vein at the
19OO-foot level is stimulated by the
presence of many seams of good
ore in the west vein, exposed in sink
ing the winze. This vein was. ex-
plored to some extent on the 1850
foot level, far to the west, where
there were no indications of enrich
ment and but little water. In sink
ing the deep winze from a point west
of the foot-wall of the main Atlanta
vein, on the 1750-foot level, the
west vein was penetrated at depth
of 80 feet and the winze continued
in this great quartz channel to al
most the 190O-foot point, where the
shale was entered.
These conditions make it plain
that the west vein, with a flatter dip
than the main vein, assumes still
flatter dip to the east upon coming
in contact with the shale, forming
wide quartz zone between the latte
and shale. 1t is evident that this
vein, extending on it's dip to the east,
forms junction with the main vein
and that both the water and enrich

Ore of excellent shipping grade
Is still being broken in substantial
.ve'ume in the progress of develop
ment work below the 40O-foot level
of the Red Hill Florence mine and
there is now every assurance of a
highly profitable production. The
winze that was started on the high
grade ore at the 400-foot level has
been sunk to a depth of SO feet and
drifts are now being extended both
ways on the trend of the ore, with
both drifts breaking a product of
high shipping grade.
On the 50O-foot level a drift is
being extended in the vein to reach
a point under the winze, where a
raise is to be driven to connect with
the winze This drift has progress
sed for a considerable distance on
ore of good shipping quality, in
dicating that the ore is continuous
for the entire distance between the
two levels.
The new raise from the 500-fOot
level will afford a direct outlet to
the main shaft for the product of
this part of the mine, there being
no connection with the shaft on
the 4OO-foot level, which was driven
north from the top of another
raise from the 500 level, not far
from the shaft. The station on the
600-foot level has been retimbered
and extensive work will be conduct
ed on this level.
Throughout the depth of the main
winze the ore is said to have main
tanned high average in value and
it is said that practically all the
material broken in this work can
be shipped at a profit. Some of
the exceedingly rich ore, broken
from the Is to 24-inch seam of mix
ed kaolin and quartz breccia, was
placed in ore-sacks to prevent loss
in handling and assays Of most of
this material ran into the thousands
of dollars per ton.
Above the 40O-foot level Man
ager J. B. Kendall has been extend
ing raise for a considerable dis
lance and drifts have been driven
both ways on the vein. This work
is designed to explore the vein for
other ore-shoots and is also of a
nature calculated to prove up the
continuity of the vein above, in the
event of any question arising with
regard to the position of the vein
and the company's extra-lateral
rights. Some work is being done
at the surface along similar lines.
A joint survey of the connecting
and adjacent workings of the Red
Hill Florence and Florence Gold
field companies has been completed
within the past few days and maps

are now in course of preparation,
showing the relative positions of
the workings and of the vein, which
dips to the east and enters the Flor
ence property at depth.
Lessees have extracted quantities
of high-grade ore from ground of
the Florence company adjoining Red
Hill, and 1t is reported that in more
than one instance the slopes have
been extended across the boundary
line and into Red Hill territory.
Persons who apparently have
been bent on depressing the mar
ket price of Red Hill stock have
industriously circulated rumors of
impending apex troubles, but it has
been stated on the highest author
ity that no such difficulties are pos
sible.
1t Is now believed that the next
few days will bring authentic infor-
nation of an amicable arrangement
by which the Red Hill company can
proceed to mine and market this
ore without any question of adverse
claims. 1t is common belief that
the validity of such claims would
not be recognized under any cir
cumstances and that no serious
question can arise involving the Red
Hill company's title to the ore.

four feet of material yielding assays
from 800 to over $500 per ton, the
assays declining at times to below
the 500 mark, but remaining at all
times an excellent shipping product.
The ore in the drift below the 16O
has also continued at better grade
than has been extracted for some
time.
Farther to the east the main drift
on the 16O-foot level is being ad-
vanced and has opened some ore of
good shipping grade. A raise is to
be put up shortly at this point,
while another raise will be driven on
the same ore-shoot from the 25O-foot
level. Near this point on the deeper
level a stope is being opened that
extends for 60 feet along the trend
of the vein and ore of good quality
is being broken here.
Near the eastern boundary of the
property preparations are being
made to explore in a thorough man
ner the ground embraced in the old
DR.. Lockhart lease, which produced
some rich ore from about the 35O-
foot level. The old shaft is to be

plant is being installed for the op-

A large part of the work in prog

is also of such a character that it
may reveal orebodies in the oxidi-
zed zone, or in the shale contact

fined to the main veins and some to
the contact proper. The main
point in this deeper work is that
the companies have abandoned the
high-grade ore and, following the
advice of some of the highest geo
logical authorities in the country,
are confining their work to deep

Manhattan Chamber of Mines)

In this stope two miners drilling
for one day break with their round
of shots over 200 tons of ore. This
should to serve to demonstrate the
possibilities of the mine and also
should show why the White Caps
management entends to enlarge It's

AS already forecasted, the mill
started operations after the recent
changes that were inaugurated to
bring it to an all slime plant, the
average extraction, starting at S3.3
per cent has increased until the
past four days milling shows an
extraction of SS.7 per cent.
Although this increase can be
predicated partly to the head values
of the mill ore being about 81 per
ton higher than when the mill was
being tuned up, still the raise in
extraction is due more to the scien-
tific manner in which the changes
in the mill were made and the care
