RED HILL DRIFTS
FAR SOUTH OF
BIG FAULT
DONE IN RICH ROGERS
VEIN

A drift has been driven $50 feet
south from the shaft on the 500
foot level of the Red Hill Florence.
This is now the principal work be-
ing done in the mine and is of in
terest to persons familiar with the
Goldfield district and the territory
adjoining the Florence Goldfield be-
cause the drift is being extended
south of the east-west fault in the
Rogers vein, beyond which ore has
never been found in quantity In
several places ore assaying from
$40 to SIS has been found in seams
south of the fault, where the form
alton is identical with that in the
bonanza part of the vein to the
north.
Low assays, indicating nothing
of Importance, are being secured in
the drift at present and it will be
continued for an additional 500 feet
to reach point under the red hills
after which the mine was named
and where It Is believed conditions
are favorable for the opening of
orebodies. Numerous cross frac-
lures are being cut.
This drift was driven $50 feet
about one year ago and then aban-
doned by a former management.
There is no condition at or near the
fault that could have stopped the
flow of mineral-bearing solutions
south beyond it and this territory is
considered well worth considerable
exploration. The vein is 20 feet
wide at a depth of 500 feet. Good
gold paintings can be secured at
many places on the outcrop south
of the fault.
While ore has never been found
south of this fault, the work being
done there by the Red Hill Florence
is the kind of mining Goldfield has
been lacking for several years
mining in new" ground. In the
early days of Goldfield 1t was be-
lieved there was no ore south of
the Florence shaft. the point at
which the andesite starts, yet some
of the richest ore ever found in the
history of mining was opened later
by lessees in the andesite. The rich
ore in the Florence Divide lease is
in the andesite.

2, 100000 TONS OF ORE To BE
MINED BY development company;
MILLING TO START IN September
YEARS
AssAYING


in the Combination, Red Top and
Florence. This is the story of the
Development company in brief.
The Combination mine made
Goldfield in June, 1908, and today,
16 years later, it has remade Cold
field. After the excitement had
died down following the discovery
OF rich float on Columbia mountain
by Harry Stimler and William
March in 1902, A. D. Myers and R.
c.. Hart located the Combination,
not because it was considered valu-
able, but merely because it was as
close to the original discovery as
the two men could secure claims.
Hart sold his interest to Murphy,
who with Myers as his partner
opened ore in the Combination vein.
The claims were bonded to the
ombination Mines company late in
1908, the bond being for $4,000,
only $4,000 of which was paid in
cash, illustrating how little either
party to the deal knew of the re-
markable richness of the ground.
In the latter part of 1905 the
mine had produced ore of a gross
value of $1,250,000 and had paid
100000 in dividends. In 1906 it
was taken into the consolidation,
and in the early part of 1919 it
still contained high-grade ore, as
was shown by the shipment of the
carload OF ore valued at nearly
$4,000 by Development company,
lessee, in March. In that month the
gross prodRction of the Development
company, inaae almost entirely by
lessees in the Combination. was val
ued at $21, 1,245.96 gross, and in the
following month, from a consider
ably smaller tonnage from the same
source, the gross value was $685.
9O6.95. Since then the company has
let no leases in the Combination and,
owing to the Importance of the
glory holding" operations in the
Combination and Red Top, the leas-
ing policy of the company has be-
come of no consequence.
The early history of the Com
bination is related to show the phe-
nomenal richness of the mine in
connection with the statement of
A. I. Darcy, vice president and gen.

This work is being done in the
northern end of the Blue Bull,
through the Simmerone shaft, where
development was first started from
the 10O-foot level. A crosscut on
this level cut the vein 500 feet from
the north boundary and on the Pig
claim. Ore assaying from 500 to
$500 was found in seams varying in
width from six to Is inches and a
winze was sunk 20 feet in the vein.

DRIFT ON BOTTOM LEVEL is
400 FEET
LONG

The drift being driven east on the
365-foot level of the Great Bend is
400 feet long, the face now being
midway between the main shaft and
that Of the old Aocshart lease.
Within SO feet this drift should en-
ter the first of the large orebodies
opened on the $50 and 236-foot
levels. A good production of ship
ping ore was made from these
shoots and~the, work resulted in big
bodies of mill grade material being
exposed. Work above the 160-foot
level continues to expose mill ore.
Seams from which good assays
are being obtained are being found
in the drift on the 365-foot level
and it is believed concentration of
the metallic content of the vein
will be found on this level that will
make the ore Of higher grade than
that opened on the two upper levels.

it's Goldfield property at a profit by
the methods used in the past and
it will now be the attempt of the
management to evolve some scheme
whereby the remaining scattered
and small bodies of ore can be
stopped and shipped sporadically to
the smelters."
In this Goldfield saw the end
the high-grade ore was exhausted in
the Consolidated, the backbone of
the district, and the mill-grade ore
also had been cleaned from the
mine. The report said: "It now ap-
pears the near future will indicate
the advisability of discontinuing
operations on company account

remainder of the west, wondered.

The Cracker Jack, owning a large
acreage in the northern part of the
district, is rapidly developing into
one OF the big mines of GOldfield,
with great possibilities in the tom
mage of low and medium grade ore
that may be opened with additional
development at depth. This possi-
bility is particularly evident owing
to the nearness of the mine to the
Development mill.
With $4,000 tons of $S ore above
the 120-foot level. the Cracker Jack
has exposed eight feet of $25 ore at
depth of $50 feet and further
sinking and drifting in this ore may
result in an enormous tonnage OF
medium grade material being
opened that can be treated at big
profit in the mill.
Above the 120-foot level the
Cracker Jack vein, which is formed
in the main Columbia mountain
fault, has a width of eight feet. At
this depth the andesite hanging and
the rhyolite footwall came together.
The dip of the vein is slight and,
after a large amount of exploration
had been done on the 120-foot level
there followed long period In
which the shaft was sunk to 800
feet and the vein again reached on

HOW GOLDFIELD "CAME BACK
MCMAHON WHCHER WEED. SCHMIDT AND DARCY HAVE
IMPORTANT PART IN Observation-Disclosures
COMPANY TO MILL 100000 TONS OF ORE-LIVE IN
TERESTS TAKE OVER FLORENCE

In the fall of 1918 mining in
Goldfield had declined until the
greatest producer of high grade
gold ore the world has even known
was but shadow of her former
self; the light reflected from her
former splendor was flickering and
it was feared the ghost camp"
stage was near. Born with her gold
banded and blotched ore exciting
the wonder of mining experts,
money for her development had
been thrown to her in a wild orgy
of speculation-thee early history of
all camps. Following this period
until the fall of last year came the
years of constant search for ore in
the prospects outside the Consoli-
dated and Florence and the period
of steady production from these two
mines. To December 81, 1918, the
Consolidated had produced nearly
s74,000,000 and the production of
the Florence was estimated at ST.
100000.
Conditions during 191S-Novem-
ber of which was Goldfoeld's black
est month-forecasted the Consoli-
dated report for that year, in which
the small amount of development
work was attributed to both the
lack Of efficient labor and the mega
tive results obtained from recent
exploration work" The report said:
"It must now be frankly admitted
that the time has arrived when
your company can no longer operate

For years before the formation of
the Goldfield Development company
it was realized in Goldfield that
the vast resources of low-grade
ore in the district, particularly in
the Consolidated and Florence,
would have to be treated or other
orebodies found to solong the life
of the camp beyond the limit then
readily seen. The Development COM
pany solved the problem of the
treatment of the low-grade ore in
the Combination mine and, with
this as start, enlarged the scope of
operations until 100000 tons of
ore is now available for treatment

feet long. This crosscut disclosed
that the vein was of fair width. ana
low assays were obtained. A winze
was then sunk so feet and at this
depth the vein was found % feet
wide, with eight feet of ore of an
average value of $25 per ton on the
foot wall.
Sinking of the winze has been re-
sumed and will be continued until
an additional depth of 40 feet has
been gained. This 40 feet will pro-
vide 100 feet greater depth on the
dip of the vein and If ore should be
exposed when the crosscut from the
winze enters the vein it would not
only make a big mine of the
Cracker Jack, but would make of
Goldfield much greater district,
as it would mean the development
of an important orebody far outside
the northern limit of the generally
recognized proven zone.
Adjoining the Cracker Jack on
the north is the Conqueror, on the
same vein and where conditions are
similar. The discovery of a large
body of medium grade ore In the
