VALUABLE OUTPUT
BY MAYFLOWfR
COMPANY
ORE AND PRODUCING
BULLION

Within short time the mill of
the Consolidated Mayflower Mines
company, at Pioneer, will be oper-
ating at capacity, the amalgamating
plates and all other equipment hav-
ing been ordered for the batteries
that have not been in use. The mill
is now in operation at partial capa
city and is effecting a high extrac-
ton and regular shipments of bull
lion will be sent forward to the
United States mint in future. Pre-
sident w. j. Tobin is in charge
personally of the company's Oper-
ations.
Shipments of ore averaging bet
ter than $22 per ton have been go
ern California, and apparently the
mine is in shape to produce a sub
stantial tonnage of ore of this char
acter 1t is significant fact that
the shipping ore has been mined
from points in the main vein dis
tributed over a distance of 400 feet
and two carload shipments were ex-
tracted from opposite ends of this
stretch OF vein.
Ore for the mill, of good average
grade, is being placed in sight in
large volume by the development
work that is being conducted on the
four main levels and several inter-
mediates. The Mayflower vein has
been for many years regarded as
one of the strongest and most de-
pendable for mill tonnage in the
southern country, and recent devel-
opment work at many points in the
big lode is justifying this claim in
ample measure.
During the period of the Bullfrog
boom the Mayflower mine was one
of the most widely known properties
and one of the foremost producers
of southern Nevada. It's mill pro-
duced large quantity of bullion
from ore extracted on shallow lev
els; the mine was developed only in
the most haphazard manner and the
property was operated with the ut
most extravaganza, the costs of mar
keting bullion having run as high
as 1872 per ton of ore mined.
Manager Tobin has now succeeded
in reducing operating costs to
figure comparable with those of any
company in the state and will be
enabled hereafter to realize a profit

CROSS-CUT ON l9OO-F1.
LEVEL NOW NEARING MAIN vein

Evidence is accumulating in ad-
the east cross-cut on the
1900-foot level of the Atlanta mine
to support the belief that important
deposits of copper-bearing ore will
be found when the main vein is
at this depth. Seepage
water coming into the cross-cut ap-
rarently is impregnated with cop
per, as it forms stalactites of brill
liant green material and precipita-
tes in deposits on the mine timbers
that resemble malachite in color
ing. The water is coming from
the main vein, through connecting
fissures, as proved by the draining
of the 175O-foot level workings in
sinking the deep winze.
The cross-cut on the 1900-foot
level is expected to reach the foot
wall of the main lode by the end
of the present month, although the
N0iH may pio'O " ho'O ii"Iechou
slightly at this depth, extending the
distance correspondingly. The cross
cut Is still in the shale, but just
below the contact and the shale
contains much mineral and is high
ly silicified. The rock is hard and
compact and stands we'll without
timbering.
Conditions revealed in the course
of this work have aroused the most
intense interest among mining men
of the district and the opinion now
appears to be universal that the
opening of the big vein at this depth
will place in sight deposits of pay

GREAT BEND SLOPES YIELD
ORE OF HIGH GRADE
ON TWO LEVELS

Ore of excellent shipping grade is
being broken at several points in
the newer workings of the Great
Bend mine and an increased tonnage
is being forwarded to the sampler
for shipment to smelters. The best
ore continues to come from the
12O-A stope, above the 160-foot level
and a short distance west of the old
main stope at this depth. High
grade ore has been broken from
this stope in considerable quantity
and there is as yet no indication of
a falling off in the volume of pay
ore here.
Immediately below this stope, on
the dip of the vein, drift was ex-
tended at depth of about 200 feet,

REVIEW OF mining OPERATIONS IN GOLDF|ELD DISTRICT

In earlier years the month of
April has several times witnessed
developments of the greatest mo-
ment in mines of Goldfield and the
conviction is general in mining cir
cles that next month is destined to
mark an important turning point in
the fortunes of the camp. Deep
mining, which up to the present has
consisted largely of dead work. is
nearing the point where concrete
results are in sight and while in
terest is centered chiefly on the
work of the Atlanta, at depth of
1900 feet, success in the quest for
ore at any of several other points
in the district would have a decided
ly stimulating effect, and at these
points, according to the best expert
opinion, there is every logical and
geological reason to count on sue
cess within short time.
Visitors or returned former resi-
dents who have endeavored to keep
in touch with the progress of mine
developments here, express the
greatest surprise and qualification
at the excellent condition of the
mines and at the comprehensive
manner in which development work
is being conducted on a large num-
Der of properties. Reports of tenn
porary suspension of operations by
some companies and the knowledge
that mining has suffered many hard
ships on account of the war have
led to a widespread belief that de-
velopment work had been greatly
restricted here as elsewhere, and
visitors are not prepared to find OPP
erations progressing on scale
comparing favorably in point of
magnitude with those in progress
before the war.
A case in point was the visit here
this week of William c. Ralston, Jr.,
now a broker with offices in New
York and Reno and formerly As
sistant United States treasurer at
San Francisco. Mr.. Ralston is a
mining man of wide experience, who
has operated on large scale on the
Comstock, on the Mother Lode and
elsewhere and who was formerly
director of the Goldfield Consolidat-

CRACKER JACK IS
SHOWING ORE
IN RAISE
In BEST CONDITION
YET

Results of development work in
the property of the Reorganized
Cracker Jack Mining company of
late have afforded no small degree
of encouragement, more particularly
in the two raises that have been
extended from the north drift on
the 320-foot level to explore the
east vein. In advancing the drift
to the north on this vein, ore of
commercial grade, considerable
quantity of which apparently can
be shipped at profit, was exposed
for a distance of over rs feet and
at many points the average value of
this ore was shown to range from
SIS to $25 per ton.
This vein differs in structure
from any other in this part of the
district and it appears to have been
formed later than other veins in
this immediate section, as it cuts
through other veins and fault fis-
sures without a break and the min
eralization is of marked uniformity
throughout, while the walls are
everywhere we'll defined and free
from breaks or fault displacement.
The unusual variety of metals
found also marks this vein as dis
tinct in character from others in
tLis part of the district. In vary
ing quantity gold, silver, copper,
lead and zinc are found in the quartz
and in many instances the samples
show a preponderance of copper,
while at other points the chief
proportion. The best showing at
present is in the second raise to be
put up in the vein, where ore of
good average grade has been expos
ed and the gold value is higher
and more uniform.
A drift has been advancing on
the west vein and good assays have
also been obtained here. This vein
has a much flatter dip than the
east vein and it is the intention of
the management to sink a winze
from the drift on the east vein to
reach the point of junction of the
two veins, estimated to be not more
than 40 feet vertically below the
latter drift Manager H. G. Nc
Mahon is now in New York and tn
cnmpany's work is making good
progress under the direction of
Foreman John La Foe.

seven feet of shipping ore, some of
very high grade.
On the 250-foot level, farther to
the east, the 201-I stope has made
continued improvement and some of
the ore sent to the sampler has
been coming from this point. Ore
of excellent grade has been broken
from the drift here continually for a
distance of so feet along the trend
of the vein and for good average
width. A raise will be driven at
this point, near the center of the
long stope, to connect with the 100
foot level and to facilitate stopping
operations.
A short distance to the east of the
POI stope and on the 160-foot lev
ell another ore-shoot of good prom
Use was exposed a short time ago
and this orebody will be further de-
veloped by means of raises from
both main levels. In the work
performed up to the present time on
these levels, extending for a long
distance east of the main shaft,

several of the principal mines while
here, including the Atlanta, Red
Hill Florence and Great Bend, and
as a result of his visit he expressed
the conviction that not only was
Goldfield assured of a substantial
comeback in point of market activ-
ity for it's stocks, but that there was
ample warrant for the prediction of
long productive life for the dis
trict, particularly from the deep
mines. He laid stress upon the de-

DRIFTS IN ORE

Drifts are now being extended from
the Jumbo Junior winze, about SIS
feet below the SSO-foot level, on the
incline of the vein, and ore of ex-
cellent grade continues in sight in the
course of this work. The winze
showed ore for its entire depth, with
$10O per ton. This ore has been
stored at the surface for shipment.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-03-23

ore of great magnitude. All these
conditions, including the presence
of copper in solution in the water
and of iron-copper sulphides in the
shale and in the everything quartz
zone, indicate that the zone of
secondary enrichment will be found
within the main vein on this level
and that between this depth and the
1750-foot level the enrichment must
be greater than above the latter
level.
The best showing of ore in any
part of the mine has been on the
1750-foot level, where a consider
able amount of development work
was performed, and in shallow
wines from this level. At two or
three points these wines were
started with the object of following
down orebodies of high value, but
the strong flow of water interfered
with this work at the time, al
though at one point near the hang
ing wall a winze showed several
feet of high-grade shipping ore.
The sinking of the deep winze
served to completely drain the work
ings in the main vein on the 1850
foot level, proving the existence of
d system of connecting fissures be-
tween the main vein and the west
vein, penetrated by the winze. With
the work on the 1900-foot level fur
ther advanced it Is the intention of
Manager Darcy to continue sinking

GAINING DEPTH

Satisfactory progress is being made
in sinking the deep shaft of the
Grandma Consolidated company,
which is now nearly 730 feet deep
and which is expected to enter the
shale contact zone in the near future.
Large boulders of quartz continue to
appear in the shaft, indicating that
the mineralized zone is not far below
present bottom.

Atlanta Mines Co.
Manager Darcy is now making
rapid headway in prosecuting east
on the 19O0-foot level, the deepest
point yet attained in mining in
southern Nevada, to reach and ex-
plore the main Atlanta lode. Large
bodies of medium and low-grade
ore were exposed in de-
velopment work from the 400 down
to the 1750-foot level and the best
ore yet found in the mine was ex-
low wines below this depth. The
fact that the seepage water at the
1900-foot level is impregnated with
copper is accepted as another indica-
tion of the presence of important
deposits Of cOpper-gOld ore at this
depth in the main vein. 1t is expect
ed that the cross-cut will penetrate
the foct-wall of the big vein by the
first of April, and the results fol-
lowing the opening of the great lode
at this point will be watched with
the most intense interest The
cross-cut is progressing in the shale,
just below the quartz zone marking
the contact. and the shale here is
greatly silicified and contains much
iron and sulphide and indications of
copper.
