TONOPAH Divide Mine HAS
5000 TONS OF ORE IN BINS

Within a few days the entire
electrically-driven surface equip
ment of the Tonopah Divide mine
will have been installed and mining
operations will then be conducted
on far more extensive scale than
in the past.
Terms of the contract for power
supply, over which there was some
controversy, have been adjusted and
the power line is ready to supply
the current as soon as the machin-
cry is in place. Delivery of new
equipment was secured more
promptly than the management dar-
ed to hope and directors of the
company report that they have plen-
ty of good miners.
Development work has been con-
fined lately to the 370-foot level,
where the northwest drift, follow
ing the foot-wall of the vein, has
been advanced to a point 105 feet

Call No Z, at the rate of one
cent per share on the capital stock
of the Reorganized Blue Bull Min
ing company, has been issued by
A. H. Howe, secretary and treasurer
for the company. The delinquent
date is Oct. II.
Accompanying the notices of as
sessment is a report by the secre-
tary and treasurer showing receipts
and disbursements from April 23,
1917, to Aug. 81 of this year and
the following statement Of mine
conditions by A. l. Darcy, general
manager of the company:
I'm the last report dated May s.,
1917, you were informed that de-
velopment work would be continued
on the 70O-foot level from the Hat
shaft and since that time the east
cross-cut has been extended to the
boundary line of your property and
several short drifts driven on the
veins encountered The work ac-
complished on this level has con-
sisted of cross-cuts in an easterly
and westerly direction for total OF
approximately 1900 feet to the
boundaries of your property and
through the Victor claim of the C..
o. D. company, upon which we had
a lease. Drifting to the extent OF
approximately 500 feet was also ac-
complished on veins encountered
on this level.
The result of this work was the
disclosure of several veins, from
which promising values were OBJ
tanned, and while there were few
small bodies of low-grade ore de-
veloped there was no tonnage OF
sufficient value found to make a
profitable operation, so the work
on this level was Discontinued.
"In the last report you were also
informed that if the work on the
7OO-foot level from the Hat shaft
did not disclose valuable orebodies
work would be started on the north
end of your property. After dis

The Great Bend is now ready to
resume shipping and wagons Will
start hauling from the mine as soon
as they can be secured.
The drift on the 375-foot level
has been advanced $50 feet in the
vein, in an easterly direction and is
being continued in low-grade ore.
cross-cut is now out 35 feet from
this drift and in 20 feet more work
is expected to cut small ore-shoot

working has not yet been advanced
far enough to cut other ore-shoots

The ore to be shipped is being
mined il a raise from 10S drift, on
the 16O-foot level and, in addition
to this point, several other working
faces in the mine are showing ore
of excellent grade. All the ship
ping product is subjected to a plat
form sampling, as the ores of the
Diamondfield district have been
found unreliable, owing to the err
ratio character of the orebodies,
and mine samples have proven of
little value when making shipments.

ing development work is now being
done on the 375-foot level, where
drift is being driven east to open
the territory under Slopes from
which a big production was made
in the past. On levels which this
working is being driven under, the
main vein has been opened for a
long distance, large quantities of
ore have been shipped and extensive
bodies of milling-grade remain on
the levels for treatment by the cy-
anide process when normal condi-
tions in the mining industry return.
The raise from 102-B stope on
the 16O-foot level reached an adit
some days ago and in the near fu-
ture drifting will be started from
point 40 feet above the 113 drift on
a full face of $40 ore. Through
making connection with the adit, an
ample supply of air has been Sc
cured for work in this territory.

SPOKANE MEETING
GAINS INTEREST
Of BANKERS
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED AT
RENO MEETING ARE
ADOPTED

The international gold confer
ence, organized under direction of
the Northwest Mining association,
met at Spokane. Wash, on Sept. )
and 6. The meeting was attended
by several hundred delegates from
western states, British Columbia
and Alaska and the American gold
conference, which met recently in
Reno. was represented by a COM
mittee consisting of Eugene Davis
of Reno, chairman; Courtenay De
Kalk, assistant editor of the Min
ing and Scientific Press of San
Francisco, and II. Nj. Lawrie, chair
man of the Oregon bueau of mines
and geology commission.
The meeting completely endorsed
the resolutions adopted at the meet
ing in Reno and an agreement was
made to gain the cooperation of
the two bodies to secure govern
ment aid for the gold mining indus
try.
1t was developed at the meeting
in Spokane that, while labor is be-
lieved to be more plentiful in Brit
ish Columbia and Alaska than in
the United States, still the industry
there is in still worse condition
than in this country, as the cost of
supplies has mounted even higher
than in the United States.
The conference discussed at
length means to aid the industry
and went on record as being in fa-
vor of the payment of bonus.
While the Reno conference was es-
sentialy a meeting of mining men.
at the meeting in Spokane the
banking interests of the country
were heard from in a gratifying
manner in support of gold prOduc-
ers for the first time, giving great
Importance to the conference.
On his return to Reno Mr.. Davis
said:
"The movement for relief for the
gold mining industry, which has
been declared by Secretary McAdoo
to be an essential war industry,
next in Importance to food and mu-
nitions in winning the war, and by
Lloyd George as constituting the
third line of defense, received sub
stantial impetus from the meeting
at Spokane. Sentiment of the
meeting was pronounced in favor
of retaining the present amount of
gold in the dollar and in every way
continuing gold as the basis of our
circulating medium, as it was in the
meeting of the American gold con-
ference held at Reno"

ditions found in the work ire high
ly favorable for opening a good ore
body in the course of development
of the ground west of the shaft and
toward the Kewanas.
Machinery on the surface is being
installed rapidly and in short
time everything to enable the COM
pany to mine on a large scale at
depth will be in place. The COM
pressor is now on the foundation
and ready for operating and the
pump, to be placed on the station at
500 feet, is on the ground.

where there is break or fault
marking the dividing line between
two distinct grades of ore. The
ore to the southeast of this break is
of higher grade, the average of all
working in this part of the orebody
having been over $50 per ton, but
the ore to the north is also of good
value throughout, the average of
assays approaching $50 per ton.
The ore dump at the collar of the
shaft is said by Manager Waters to
contain nearly 600e tons of ore as
saying around $50 and this material
probably will be shipped first for
treatment in the Goldfield Consoli-
dated mill.
Additional machine drills are to
be employed in development as
soon as the electric plant begins OPP
Grating and the shaft will be sunk
to great depth, with working later
ais of about 100 feet. 1t is not be-
lieved by Manager Waters and Con-
sulting Engineer Darcy that the
permanent water level will be
reached at a depth of less than 700
or 500 feet. Lateral work is to be
further extended at once on the
265-foot level, where a crosscut to
the southwest has been started for
the purpose of prospecting paral-
lei vein that was opened near the
surface. Drifts on the 370-foot lev
ell will now be advanced and both
walls of the big vein will be explor-
ed to the northern and southern
limits of the ore-bearing zone,
which has been opened for a great
er length on the upper levels.

SUNSET. COMP ANY
ERECTING MILL
At KNOXVILLE
PROPERTY IDLE FOR MANY
YEARS Is TO BE RE-
OPENED
(By r. l.. Richie)

RENO, New, Sept. 14.-Equip-
ment for a stamp mill and flotation
plant is being delivered as rapidly
as it can be hauled to the old Ari-
zona mine at Unionville, in south
ern Humboldt county, for the Sun
set Mining & Development COM
pany, which has operated for sew
eral years in the Bullfrog district.
E. s. Van Dyck, formerly of Gold
field, and Herman Zadig of San
Francisco are directors of the Sun
set company and operations are un-
der the direction of F. w. Lock
man, the company's general man
ager. The Arizona property was
taken over recently by the Sunset
company, after having been idle for
many years with the exception of a
short period.
Subsequent to it's discovery in
1862 the Arizona mine was one of
the most widely renowned silver
producers in Nevada. Old records
of early-day operations show, ac-
cording to Manager Lockman, that
the company shipped 900 tons of
selected ore by freight teams to
Sacramento and thence by sailing
ship to Swansea, Wales, which re-
turned a net profit of $4S0,0O0.
Only high-grade ore could then be
marketed and when the price of sill
yer declined and water appeared in
the workings the mine was closed
down.
Some years later a tunnel was
driven which drained the main
workings down to the 400-foot lev
ell, but the early extraction had been
chiefly from above depth of 200
feet Within the past two years
some work was done on the prop
erty, when Walter Trent and asso-
ciates secured an option on the
ground and installed cyanide
plant, with a Chilean mill for
grinding the ore. This process
proved unsuccessful in recovering
the metallic content of the ore,
however, and the option was for
feited.
The ore-channel is said to be in
the form of a blanket vein of great
width and extending through the
property for a long distance. The
high-grade silver ore is present In
shoots or wide seams, the main vein
of rich ore averaging about two feet
in width, and the ore-channel is
broken by a series of step faults.
The quartz is pronounced to be of
excellent character and the Ore-bear-
ing area already proved is of wide
extent.
Development work is now in prog
ress on a comprehensive scale and

REPORT OF OPERATIONS is
ISSUED BY Blue BULL co.

continuing the work at the Hat
shaft, the equipment of the Simmer
one shaft was put in shape and de-
velopment of the north end of your
property was started through the
Simmerone shaft on the 1O0-foot
level. BY means of a cross-cut the
vein was disclosed on this level at a
distance of approximately 800 feet
from the north boundary line OF
your property and on the Pig claim
of your holdings.
1.-The vein disclosed values of
from 800 to $500 per ton across
widths varying from six inches to
IS inches. A winZe was started on
this vein from the 100-foot level
and sunk to a distance of 70 feet
below the level and in sinking this
winze the ore was saved for ship
ment, amounting to 21 tons OF a
gross value of $117.29 per ton,
from which your company received
smelter returns amounting to
$1S13.76.
after sinking the winze 70 feet
in depth we had reached the extent
to which the winze could be sunk
by the means we had at hand, and
work was then started on the $50
foot level to encounter the vein on
that level; this work was continued
beyond the point where a survey
had shown the vein should be en-.
oountered, AID as the yein did not
appear a raise was started, which
encountered the vein above the $50
foot level having dip much flat
ter than above and accounting for
our failure to find the vein on the
25O-foot level at the point where it
had been expected to be.
"A connection between the winze
from the 1OO-foot level and the raise
from the 250-foot level was made
and development of the vein con-
tiDaed, with the result that we have
now opened up an ore shoot approx,
imately so feet in length, varying

Work in the sump crOsscut at a
depth of 815 feet in the Grandma
has been stopped for the present
and station is now being cut in
the shaft at 500 feet. When this
station has been cut and drifts ex-
tended short distances northeast
and southwest from it, so that ma
chinery on the station will not be
injured by blasting, pump will be
installed, the drifts will be contin-
ued along the surface of the shale
and work will be resumed in the
crosscut and continued until it
reaches the west, or Grandma-Ke-
wanas boundary line.
The Grandma shaft is sunk a
short distance into the shale and
it is the plan of Consulting Engineer
J. K. Turner to follow as nearly as
possible with the drifts the sur
face of the shale, which dips to the
west The contour of the surface
is irregular, marked by ridges and
depressions, and later raises will be
driven from the drifts and the
crosscut at SIS feet to thoroughly
explore the contact zone above the
shale.
The crosscut will serve to explore

Professor Francis Church Lincoln,
director of the Mackay school of
mines at the university of Nevada
and director of secondary mining
schools of the state, was in Gold
field yesterday on a visit to the
mining schools in Go'dfield and To-
nopah
an important one, as the next legis-
lature will be asked for another ap-
preparation for the support of the
secondary schools and. as they re-
opened after the summer vacation
but a few days ago. Professor Lin
coin is interested in increasing the
attendance at the schools as much
as possible at this time. He stated
that, while the attendance at the
Goldfield institution, in proportion
to the number of men employed in
the district, was excellent when
compared with the other schools in
the state, he wanted to be able to
go before the legislature and ask
for another appropriation with the
statement that from Is to 20 men
were regularly attending each
school. He said that while the at
tendance here was better than else
where in the state, he felt that 1t
should be larger and that If min
ers, millmen, assayers and others
employed in the mining industry
here fully understood the advan-
tages to be obtained in the schools
he was certain more would attend.
Eleven men are now in regular
attendance at the sessions of the
Goldfield school, 12 are attending
in Tonopah and eight in Ely.
Professor Lincoln said he had
found a great difficulty in the way
of securing increased attendance to
be an impression that prevails to
the effect that a high-school educa-
tion is necessary for entrance into
the schools. In stating that this
impression was entirely wrong, he
cited the instance of the IL men
now attending the Goldfield school
and said five of them had grammar
scnool educations, four high-school
@f hn Stt re
were graduates of colleges.
Five of these men are miners, one
is a prospector, one a millman, one
a truck driver, two assay office as
sistants and one an electrician. All
are studying assaying.
In explaining the advantages to
be secured through attending the
schools, Professor Lincoln said he
was constantly receiving from two
to three requests a week for assay
ers and that the same was true of
surveyors. He remarked that he
was becoming ashamed to have to
reply to all of these requests that
he could not secure the men, who
are now in great demand at high
wages. He explained that after the
war unskilled labor is bound to be
plentiful and that, while the army
is making some surveyors, it GER
tainly is making no assayers and
that the scarcity of such men will
undoubtedly increase after the war
to a point where they will be able

STATE HEAD URGES Miners TO ATTEND SCHOOL HERE

Professor Lincoln reiterated what
Professor Hofmann, in charge of
the Goldfield school, has often said:
That any man with but little edu-
cation aside from his ability to read
and write cannot fail to be benefit
ted by attending the school.
Professor Hofmann is we'll equip
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-09-21

to demand big wages. He predict
ed that, although miners are now
in big demand at high wages, there
will be an oversupply of common
labor after the war and he said he
felt that men in communities where
there are mining schools are vast
ing a valuable opportunity in fail
ing to attend them.
