VEIN is ENTERED ON
ESQ LEVEL Of
BLUE BULL
DRIFT ENTERING ORE SHOOT
FOUND ON UPPER
LEVEL

After crosscutting for about 400
feet on the 25O-foot level the Blue
Bull has entered a vein and drift
is entering the ore-shoot found on
the 10O-foot level. According to
Manager A. l. Darcy, seams of
good ore have been exposed.
The Blue Bull is operating
through the Simmerone shaft and
the vein was found on the 100-foot
level 800 feet from the north
boundary and in the Pig claim.
Assays of from 500 to $500 per
ton were obtained from ore-shoots
varying in width from six inches
to two feet and winze was sunk
20 feet in the vein, 21 tons of ore
assaying $177.28 per ton being
saved. This winze was discontin-
ued at a depth of 20 feet because
of lack of facilities for further
work.
The big vein trends north
through the Bule Bull ground and
dips to the east, the ore-shoot rak-
ing to the southeast, and after
crosscut on the 250-foot level had
been extended to where the vein
should have been entered, accord
ing to surveys, raise was start
ed, which proved that the vein had
flattened between the tvs levels.
The raise and winze were then con-
nected and through the driving
of an intermediate level and other
work a small but good-grade ore
shoot was developed for so feet,
the ore containing gold, silver and
copper.
The main crosscut was then con-
tinued, entering the vein a short
time ago.

ALTO COMMENCES
SINKING SHAFT
At DIVIDE
TWO SHIFTS ARE EMPLOYED
In SINKING
SHAFT

The Alto Divide Mining COM
pany was incorporated under the
laws of Nevada on Feb. 13. The
Alto company owns the Alto Nos.
1, 2, 3 and in the Divide dis
trict, situated between the Gold
Zone and East Divide. The claims
contain about 70 acres and were
purchased from R. G. Williams,
the locator, to whom the entire
purchase price has been paid, the
title now being in the name of the
Alto Divide Mining company. The
Alto is Incorporated for 100000
shares of par value of 10 cents,
fully paid and worcestershire.
The officers of the company are
Joseph Mayer, president; j. X.
Turner, vice-president; Ben Gill,
secretary and treasurer. These Of
ficers, with Charles S. Sprague and
c. A. Leager, constitute the board
of directors.
Work was started on March 1
and shaft is being sunk on the
Alto No. claim at a point 500
feet east of the west end line of
this claim and 1876 feet south of
the side line of the Arkansas claim
of the Gold Zone. Two shifts are
employed in sinking.
A 80 horsepower electric hoist
ing engine with complete equip
ment has been purchased and will
be moved on the ground within 10

LEASES
OPERATING
IN GOOD
BLOCKS
POLICY OF NEW
COMPANY

Thirty-one sets of lessees are
now operating in all mines of the
Goldfield Development company
and four leases, the Mclaughlin,
on the Combination; the Schramm
lease, Cox and Kinds, on the Cler-
mont, and the Lucich lease, on
the Grizzly Bear, are already in
the shipping class. A number OF
others are working in ore and all
are engaged in development work
on a good scale.
AL Mccoy and Joe Weilep, leas-
ing on the Combination, are work
ing to open known ore-shoots. and
it is believed little additional de-
velopment work will be necessary
to put these leases in the shipping
class. Particular interest attaches
to the work of Ross Woodward in
the February claim, in the south
ern part of the territory, as this is
ground entirely unexplored previ-
Gus to the starting of this lease.
Compressed air pipe at all mines
has been placed in good condition,
according to A. l. Darcy, general
manager, and work of the lessees
is proceeding rapidly.
The Development company is
prospecting in the Combination
Fraction, also held under lease,
and four carloads of ore were
shipped last month in the course
of this work. Development work
on company account also is being
done in the Combination and Mo-
hawk
In general the leasing policy of
the Development company is at
tracing wide attention, particular
ly in San Francisco and Reno, and
a number of mining men in both
places, in corresponding with the
management, have expressed a de-
sire to form close syndicates for
development on a broad scale of
what they consider to be promis-
ing blocks. Men familiar with
the entire territory years ago are
inquiring from different parts of

MAyFLOWER ISSUES
REPORT FOR 10 DAYS
NINE IS BEING DEVELOPED
ON FOUR LEV
ELS

The report of Manager ]. B.
Kendall of the Consolidated May
flower Mines company for the 10
day period ending Feb. 20 states
that the north drift on the 500
foot level was advanced IS feet,
or a total of 81 feet from the
shaft. Non-commercial ore is ex-
posed. 1t is expected that this
drift will cut in % feet the exten-
sion of an ore-shoot opened in a
winze driven on an incline 80 feet
below the 4OO-foot level.
The 404 crosscut on the 400-foot
level was advanced II feet and is
still in the vein, assays Of from 81
to SO being secured. The 4O7
crosscut, started 12O feet south of
No. 4O4, was advanced Is feet.
The main south drift on the 800
foot level was advanced Is feet
and has opened on the foot-wall
of the vein IA inches of ore assay
ing $12 per ton. Four crosscuts
are being driven on this level.
The north drift on the 200-foot
level shows a full face of ore OF
milling grade and small seams of
good ore are exposed in the south
drift on this level.

ORE CUT In
BROUGHER
Divide
TWO-FOOT SEAM FROM MAIN
VEIN IS DIS
COVERED

Seventy feet from the shaft sta
tion on the 5O0-foot level, a two
foot seam of ore asaying $18.S5
was cut a few days ago in the
Brougher and the assay returns
were announced this morning by
A. I. Darcy, consulting engineer
for the company. The assay re-
turns gave 14.04 ounces silver and
"a ounces gold.
The crosscut in which the seam
was found is being extended south
west toward the main vein and
the significance of the cutting of
ore at this point lies in the dip of
the seam where exposed, as it was
found to lie flatter than the main
vein and, coming from the direc-
tion in which the crosscut is being
driven, proves the existence of ore
in the main vein above the 500-foot
level on which the crosscut is be-
ing driven and below the 175-foot
point, the level on which consider
able lateral work was done before
the shaft was sunk to the 500-foot
point.
The vein in Brougher ground,
the main Divide vein, trends north
west.

GREAT BEND EXTENDING
365-FOOT LEVEL DRIFT

The drift on the 365-foot level
of the Great Bend is again being
driven east toward the Lockhart
shaft and assays of from Sc to 81
a ton are being secured. The drift
is 220 feet long. The ia drift,
above the 16O-foot level, has shown
Improvement recently and assays
of over $45 are being secured.
The face of the drift is SO feet
east of 113-a raise. Only a small
quantity of ore has been shipped
as a result of recent work above
the 16O-foot level, but large bodies
OF ore of milling grade have been
opened.

DEVELOP PMENT
PLANS BIG
M|LL|N G
SCHEME
HUGE TONNAGE MAY BE SENT
THROUGH CONSOLIDATED
MILL

There is no boom" in the Gold
field district, but the amazing ra-
pidity with which new deals involv-
ing operations on a large scale are
being consummated is the best
evidence of the continued conf
dence of mine operators in the dis
trict and the substantial basis of
their work is gratifying to every
one interested in Goldfield.
Plans of the Goldfield Develop
ment company which have been
pending since the company leased
the Consolidated mines were an
nounced last night, when General
Manager A. /. Darcy stated that
the company practically had decid-
ed to mill in the Consolidated mill
a huge tonnage of ore in Combina-
tion hill. This will be good news
for everyone in Goldfield, as it
will involve reopening of the mill
to full capacity for at least three
years.
Mr.. Darcy said it was planned
to extend a drift on the 380-foot
level of the Combination mine,
from the Combination Fraction
shaft, and mill a block of ground
40 by 1000 feet to this depth. 1t is
planned to mill 1000 tons of ore
daily and it is conservatively esti-
mated that there is enough mater
nial blocked ont tc ksep the mill in
constant operation for at least
three years.
Over 1000 samples have been
taken in this block of ground and
the sampling has proved the aver
age value of the ore to be $500 per
ton, according to records of the
Consolidated company. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that the ore
can be mined and milled for $3.50
per ton by retimbering the Combi-
nation Fraction shaft, extending a
wide drift, with double tracks, un-
der the ore, and mining the entire
mass of material by the caving sys-
tenn, to be applied to the entire

HASBROUCK TUNNEL
is NEARING VEIN

The Hasbrouck, in the Divide
district, has had shipped to the
mine an air compressor and engine
to operate it. The shaft is being
retimbered and recent work in the
900-foot tunnel has resulted in a
promising formation being found,
which is taken by II. F. Bruce,
consulting engineer, to indicate
that vein from which assays were
secured on the surface and which
the tunnel is being driven to ex-
plore, will. soon be cut.

LONE STAR EXPOSING VEINS

In the main workings of the

face of the east crosscut is now
100 feet from the shaft and the
west crosscut is out 149 feet. The

The objective of the east crOsscut
is a vein exposed on the surface for
width of from nine to IL feet
