PIONEER DISTRICT
IS NOW SCENE
OF ACTIVITY

Mining activity unknown since
the sensational boom of the early
days now marks the Pioneer dis
trict, where the Mayflower Con-
solidated Mines company and the
Reorganized Pioneer Mines COM
pany properties are being
operated on scale that prom
ises to result in large and profit
able productions being made as
the mines are opened through the
work recently started. The May
flower, through work done in late
years under the direction of the
former general manager, w. j.
Tobin, and his consulting engi-
neer, ]. X. Turner, has been de-
veloped into one of the big gold
mines of the state and it is now
being operated under direction of
J. B. Kendall, president and gen.
eral manager since control of the
company was sold by Mr.. Tobin to
John H. Miller of Hawthorne and
associates.
A small force of miners started
work in the Mayflower on Dec. 26
and this force is being increased
rapidly. Six new machine drills
and large shipment of other sup
plies recently were sent to the
mine from here and mining will
soon be in progress on the 200,
800, 400 and 500-foot levels. No
work was done on the 500-foot
level by the previous manage
ment further than the cutting of
a pump station, and a crosscut
will be driven north and south.
The north drift will be extended
to connect with the bottom of a
winze from the 400-foot level,
where there is known to be a good
body of ore. But little work was
done on the 200-foot level and
practically +, tina. esss.ire product was
made from between this and the
3O0-foot level, where the orebody
IS shown to have been 800 feet
long. According to the report Of
a former manager, this orebody
produced 10000 tons of $14 ore.
The main shaft of the Pioneer
mine, 42O feet deep, has been re-
timbered to within few feet of
the bottom and in short time

NO ACTION BY TREASURY TO AID GOLD

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 2. =
The treasurer's committee appoint

diminishing production of gold
last year has expressed the view
that there will be a return to nor

prices will stimulate production in
the United States this year. 1t is
unlikely that the committee will
recommend any emasures stimu-

Senator Weeks criticized the
war department for its delays and
errors in compiling the casualties
and the failure to report the Red
Cross forwarding of letters from

that the departments information

KEWANASDR|FT|NG
TO OPEN ORE ON
840-F00TlEvEL

Drifting north and south is be-
ing continued from the bottom of
the winze from the S40-foot level
of the Kewanas and prospects are
said to be promising for opening
ore of shipping grade in the prog
ress of the work. The drifts are
being driven from the bottom of
a 100-foot incline winze.
The north drift is now in a
small shoot of ore from which fair
assays are being obtained and the
south drift is expected to enter
this same shoot in a short dis
tance, both workings being driven
at a slight angle to the strike of
the vein, which is shown to be of
considerable width at this point.

GRANDMA IS NOW
CROSSCUTT|NG TO
REACH SAALE

At a distance of about 60 feet
from the shaft, work has been
stopped temporarily in the south,
or No. 500, drift at a depth of S15.
feet in the Grandma. The east.
or No. sol, crosscut at this depth
has been advanced over 100 feet
and is being continued to reach the
shale.
The drift and crosscut have
served to show that the shaft, at
SIS feet, entered small ridge in
the shale and the crosscut is be-
ing driven to reach the shale foot
wall of the quartz zone on its in
cline east of the shaft. Low as
says have been obtained through
out the quartz mass and in places
wide seams of ore yielding fair as
says have been found.
The contour of the surface OF
the shale has been found irregular
wherever explored in the district
and marked by numerous ridges
and depressions. The shaft en-
tered one of these ridges, it is be-
lieved, and the true footwall of
the quartz mass will be found to
the east. The present work is
being done in the long valley in
the shale's surface and, apparent
ly, not far from the deepest point
in the great depression in this gen.
eral part of the district. The val
ley deepens to the south and in
the Atlanta the shale is found at
1900 feet.
The quartz found in the con-
tact ore-channel in the Grandma
contains quantities of iron ami
copper sulphide and is in every
way similar to the material found
on deep levels in other mines Of
the district. 1t is hard and solid
in structure.
The two bg veins were cut in
the shaft, the first, or Spearhead-
Grandma vein, at depth of $50
feet, and another in which en-
couraging assays in gold and sill
yer were found, near the bottom
os the shaft.

West End
Since the discovery of the ia
nous Ohio vein in the western
section of the estate of the West
End Consolidated Mining company,
which was early in the summer of
1917, it's mill has been running to
capacity, with no interruptions of
any consequence except those nat
urally arising because of holidays
and for similar reasons. Previous
to the beginning of the present
year, custom ores had supplement-
ed the mill runs of the plant in
the proportion of about two-thirds
company production and the bal
ance ores from it's customers, the
smaller mines in and around the

NEWS FROM Mines IN ALL PARTS Of STATE
SHOWS BIG ORE PRODUCTION IS Being MADE

by heirs of the Cannon estate in
Salt Lake.
The White Pine Copper COM
pany has been incorporated in this
state to work a copper property
north of Ray siding, on the Ne
vada Northern railroad. George
T. Hansen, general manager for
the company, states that the
claims to be developed by the COM
pany have been mined through
an adit and crosscuts and that a
vein from eight to IL feet wide
and yielding good assays in cop
per and silver has been opened at
a depth of 200 feet. The COM
pany is well equipped for mining
on a large scale.

and the mine and mill remain
closed. 1t is said that fully Is
per cent of the employees have
died of the -malady. The epidemic
spread rapidly in Rochester and
many deaths resulted before aid
could be secured from Reno and
the coast.
Ore shipments from mines in
the vicinity of Battle Mountain
have been reduced owing to re-
cent heavy snowstorms. A car
load of timber has been received
for use in the station at the 120-
foot level of the Copper Canyon
mine.
The total value of gold, silver,
lead and zinc produced in Nevada
during 1917 is given as $54,424.-
$50, according to the report of the
director of the mint for the fiscal
year ending June 80. This is an
increase of $4,47s,156 over the
previous year.
The Panama Canal Mining COM
pany, operating in Ormsby county,
recently shipped a 50-ton carload
of silver ore to the smelter and,
owing to road conditions, no fur
ther shipments will be attempted
during the winter, although the
development at the mine will con-
tinue. In the spring it is propos
ed to unwater the lower levels and
sink the shaft to greater depth.

been done in the Virginia Louise
mine at Phoebe since operations
were resumed in July, according

CRACKER JACK IS
EXPLORING RICH
FLORENCE vein

The raise being driven by the
Cracker Jack company in terri
tory leased from the Florence, at
a height of 65 feet, is showing ore
assaying from $26 to $31 per ton.
and after the raise has been driv-
en- 20 feet farther drifting will be
started in the vein. The entire
back of the raise is reported to be
in ore and H. G. Mcmahon, secre-
tary and manager of the Cracker
Jack, is we'll satisfied with the re-
suit of work in the leased block.
The raise has been extended in the
continuation of the Rogers vein
toward the surface from the stope
where rich ore was mined during
the life of the Rogers lease and,
as the territory above these slopes
has never been explored hereto
fore, the work now being done by
Manager Mcmahon is being watch
ed with interest here. as many are
confident that exploration of the
vein at this point will lead to the
opening of important orebodies.
The famous slopes of early day
leases in Florence ground were be-
tween the 400 and 55O-foot levels,
and when they expired good ore
remained above and below the
workings. This vein has been
porductive north of where the
Cracker Jack company is working,
but, owing to mine conditions and
lack of sufficient equipment, no
work was ever done at this partic-
ular point until recently.
Operations have also been re-
sumed at the main Cracker Jack
property, in the northern part of
the district, where the most i'm
