TAKE OVER THE SILVER SHIELD
NINE IN JEFFERSON
CANYON

Here is the latest that promises to
awaken the silver miners:
DR.. j. l.. Mccarthy, J. B. Witt,
formerly of the Witt-Brandon lease
on the Florence, and Tonopah anG
Utah men have taken over the Sill
yer Shield mine in the Jefferson can
yon district, which according to re-
ports, is well-developed high grade
silver mine. 1t is known that a
stiff initial payment has been made
The mine is developed through a
200-foot shaft and 400-foot drift
tunnel, the latter reaching a depth
of 100 feet on the vein. The entire
length of the tunnel. for the full
width of the vein, is said to be in
ore of mill grade, with a 40-foot
winze from it in rich ore. Two tons
of material that will net over $4,000
when shipped is on the mine dump.

RICH ORE 8 FEET
WIDE CUT IN
ARROWHEAD
HIGH GRADE MATERIAL WIDENS
IN'EAST DRIFT ON 100
FOOT LEVEL

The ore in the east drift on the
.10O-foot level of the Arrowhead, in
the sensational Nye county district
of that name, has widened to eight
feet, the face of the drift breaking
over 800, with seams OF ruby silver
that assay as high as $4,000. The
east drift on the 175-foot. or bottom
level, has not yet entered the ex-
tension of this shoot, but is re-
ported to be close to it. The drift
on the upper level has been in high
grade four feet wide for a distance
of As feet and there is no indication
that the rich material will not con-
tinue for long distance.
Three hundred and fifty sacks of
ore that will assay from $3.50 to
nearly $1,000 ton is on the mine
dump.
Men returning to Goldfield from
the district report great activity,
with substantial town growing so
rapidly that there is shortage of
housing facilities. Bids of as high
as $500 are reported being made for
we'll situated townsite lots by c. H..
Olds, who is here from Arrowhead.
Many companies are sinking
shafts and getting equipment in
place and numerous others are be-
ing organized. The Arrowhead Syn
dicate, southwest of the original dis
covery, is negotiating for the pur-
chase of machinery here for sinking
to 200 feet. The Arrowhead Con-
solidated has seams of ore exposed
in the bottom of a 75-foot shaft,
which is being continued to 200
feet. The Consolidated owns what
formerly was known as the Sun
shine. The Syndicate, south of the
original discovery, has let con-
tract for sinking a 1O0-foot shaft.
The Consolidated and Syndicate are
controlled by Ely men. with AL Nc
Coy of Goldfield also interested in
the latter.
Other companies working or
planning to start development are
the Wonder, Sphinx, Extension,
which has low grade ore in the bot
tom of a 20rfoot shaft; Bonanza,
Signal and Annex.

HAS $4,000 TONS
OF $f2 ORE BLOCKED OUT

According to statement made re-
Gently by J. B. Kendall, manager
for the Mayflower mine at Pioneer.
the development work that has con-
tinued for many months on large
scale has resulted in placing in sight
$4,000 tons of ore of an average
value of $12. The mill is now treat
ing so tons of ore daily and Mr..
Kendall estimates that the net profit
will be from $4,000 to $4,000
monthly from this tonnage. The
north drift on the third level, being
driven toward known oreshoot. is
over 1000 feet long and it is esti-
mated that the shoot will be cut
within another 200 feet.

the recommendations of the COM

work will be pushed as rapidly as
possible until the S00foot level

There has already been shipped
from the Pioneer mine to the smell

ore, all of which came from above

however, faulted and it is with the
intention of again picking up the

Working conditions at the plant
have improved so materially that

WEST END CON. SHIPS
$4,000 IN BULLION

The last cleanup of the West
End Consolidated Mining company's
mill was especially gratifying to
the management. indicating that the
operations are again running with
the smoothness and regularity for
which the mill in former periods
was famous.
The bullion shipment, represent
ing the cleanup for the final half
of November, consisted of 22 bars
of silver and gold, which had a
weight of $4,000 ounces. Based on
the present prices for silver, which
constitutes about 80 per cent of
the bulk of the bars, the shipment
is easily worth $57.700, the gold
and silver contents of the bars be-
ing estimated at approximately
$40 per ounce.
With the regular shipments re-
sumed from the two sections of
the mine and the usual amount of
custom ore received from the smaller
operating companies in Tonopah and
other districts, it is believed that
the West End company will make a

it's maximum capacity.
With the gradual returning to
work of many miners in the Tono-
pah district, the Belmont has been
gradually extending the scope of it's
operations. The production which
has been made from the big slopes
in the mine, particularly those on
the South vein, from which ore in
large quantities is being drawn, has
been fully up to normal for the past
few weeks, and lately, through the
ability of the company to add to its
