GENERAL WASHINGTON
CRACKER JACK DEAL
IS CONCLUDED
STOCK WILL BE SOLD
TO FINANCE FIRST
WORK

A. w. l.. Dunn, who recently took
over the General Washington. ad
joining the Cracker Jack on the
south, has been here for the past
few days and has closed the deal. In
stead of an immediate assessment
being levied as was first planned
enough of the 1.775,000 shares now
in the treasury will be sold to pro-
vide funds for considerable
amount of work. The stock, accord
ing to Mr.. Dunn, will be sold for one
cent per share to San Francisco in
terests who heretofore have not been
interested in the Goldfield district.
The only initial expense to be in
CURED by the company will be for
cleaning the south drift on the 800
foot level of the Cracker Jack and
extending it 60 feet to reach Cen
eral Washington ground. where, if it
Is found advisable, winze can be
sunk to reach the depth at which
the Cracker Jack hes found the best
ore in the big shoot opened by that
company. Including the hoisting
and other expense for which the
Cracker Jack company will he paid,
Mr. Dunn estimates that the monthly
expense will not exceed $500 and he
believes that, driving at a rate of
three feet daily, within two months
the General Washington will be in
ore in it's own ground. The drift
will be continued from point
where assays of from 81 to $S are
secured from 15foot width.
Mr.. Dunn inspected the Cracker
Jack workings yesterday and like
others who have visited the work
ings from the winze recently he said
he was greatly surprised at the
amount of pay ore exposed.

RICH ORE OPENED
IN OLD DISTRICT
THREE FEET ASSAYING $14J
FOUND IN MINE NEAR
SCHURZ

Rich lead-silver and silver-gold
ore has been found in the Reserva-
tion district, near Schurz, and it is
reported that eastern interests have
bought into a number of companies.
Work has continued in the district
for the past eight years.
A vein three feet wide and assay
ing $145 IN silver, lead and gold has
been opened at depth of 80 feet
in the VI group and it is planned
to start shipping early next year.
Prospectus of the surface of a
number of veins in the Nevada Sill
yer and Development claims, 1900
feet south of the VT, has resulted
in assays or as high at $1,000 in
gold and silver being secured and
has been ordered to fur
ther prospect the claims.
The Elkton Divide has leased a
of claims in the heart of
the district and is preparing to start
work Shipping ore is reported to
be exposed in these claims and it
is said that an output of good grade
will be made in the spring. Wills

GO[OF|ELO PRODUCES
$4,000 IN QU|ETEST
YEAR Of HER CAREER

Estimates indicate that the pro-
duction of the Goldfield district for
1919 will not be less than $4,000
and this figure may be exceeded by a
considerable amount--this for the
dullest year the former king of all
gold producers has ever had will be
surprise even for those who have
followed the fortunes of Goldfield
closely. The Florence figures were
published some time ago and. owing
to the regular shipments from the
Florence Divide lease, they were no
larger than was expected, but the
production of the Development and
'Consolidated., :, the former. with $1S4,-
O27.93 and the latter with $685.
3O0,93, including the mill clean
up. furnished the surprise.
e. A. Byler, engineer for the Flor
ence company, states that the first
estimate made by him of the COM
pany's production for 1919-over
$252,000-can safely be raised to
$3.50. 900 The gross production of
the Consolidated, including the mill
cleanup and ore milled during the
month of January, 1919. should
greatly exceed $263,0OO. as this sum
is based practically entirely on net
figures. The Development produced
1875 dry tons of ore of a gross
value of $134,027.93, or an average
value per ton of 5000. The Great
Bend output was So tons of a gross
value of $2055.7S and the Jumbo
Extension produced 1872 dry tons of
gross value of $991425.
This gives a total of over $685.
900 and the final figures will raise
this sum considerably.
The year 1919 was a momentous
one in the history of Goldfield, the
production figures, except in the
case of the Florence. being of little
Importance and overshadowed by
events such as the formation of the
Goldfield Development company, the

Divide EX.

ON 200
LEVEL
INCHES OF HIGH
GRADE SILVER ORE
FOUND

In a crosscut driven west from the
Caldwell shaft of the Divide Ex-
tension, according to unofficial re-
ports, "a inches of ore a3saying
from 5000 to $3.50 has been opened.
This ends the suspension relative to
the Divide EX and clears the cloud
that has been over the Divide dis
trict ever since lateral work was
started on the 200-foot, or bottom
level of this shaft.
1t was almost certainty that the
extension of the rich ore found on
the As and 100-foot levels would
be opened, but flattening of the
shoot and more perplexing prob
lens delayed the discovery.

10 SHAFTS BEING
SUNK IN NEW
DISTRICT
SEAMS OF RICH ORE ARE BEING
FOUND IN ARROWHEAD
RAISE

Although the raise from the east
drift on the 175-foot level of the
Arrowhead has not entered the main
oreshoot found on the 100-fo0t level,
seams of extremely rich silver-gold
ore are being cut. Rich ore con-
tinues to be produced from the
winze from the upper level.
The shaft of the Arrowhead Ex-
tension of and adjoining the Arrow
head, is 60 feet deep and it is
planned to do lateral work at SO
feet to prospect the vein. The Con-
solidated will resume in a few days
sinking with machinery the 75-foot
shaft, which it is planned to con-
tinue for an additional 100 feet.
Over 10 companies have started
sinking shafts recently, practically
all of them now being less than so
feet deep.
1t is estimated that over 80 COM
panies have been organized to oper-
ate in the district.

bilious interests and the opening of
ore in outside" territory, notably
in the Cracker Jack and Red Hill.
Another important event, late in the
year, was the revival of the Yellow
Tiger to work in the extension to
the south of Goldfield's famous
eastern vein system, undeveloped,
but regarded by every authority who
has ever seen the outcrops of this
system as the most promising part
of the district, barring not even the
great developed zone. The Yellow
Tiger also owns claims in the very
heart of the eastern district.
The early summer of next year
should see big output of bullion
coming from the Development mill,
but beyond this there is no way to
forecast developments in the district
in general. The coming year will be
marked by an unprecedented search
for ore in unbeaten paths by en-
ergetic and intelligent managements.
This class of work by the Develop
ment, Florence. Red Hill and
Cracker Jack, with the Grandma
and Spearhead continuing their
work on the shale, leaves a big field
for speculation as to what the re-
suit will be.
The Florence. with the Columbia
Mountain fault belt guarded by
leases from the Development, Red
Hill and C. o. D., is driving into
this territory at two widely sep
arated points and development on a
big scale is planned.
On the debit side of the ledger for
the year Goldfield has the closing
of the Merger and discontinuance
of work on the deep levels of the
Atlantic.

RENO. New, Dec. 20-An import
ant development is under way in the
tin zone of the Majuba Silver, Tin
and Copper Mines company at Ma
juba Hill, 20 miles west of INLAY,
and it is being watched with interest
by prominent mining men who are
familiar with lode tin mining. Work
was recently resumed in this portion
of the Maiuba property and almost
at once a big improvement in the
grade of ore was noted.
Though stock in the Majuba COM
pany is closely held and has never
been offered to the general public,
the management is not averse to
legitimate publicity. but they deem
il wise to withhold assay returns of
the late find until further develop
ment discloses how extensive the
high grade orebody proves to be.
1t is violating no confidence, how
ever, to say that the face of one
drift shows five feet of ore with
very satisfactory values.

FLORENCE COMPANY
GETTING GOOD
RESULTS
PROMISING BODY OF QUARTZ Is
FOUND IN SOUTHEAST
CROSSCUT

The general condition of the
Florence mine is regarded as being
better now than at any time since
it was taken over by the present
management. The two crosscuts be-
ing driven by the company on the
seventh level have reached COM
bined length of 800 feet, 36S for
that to the southeast and 5S2 for
that to the west. The former has
for over SO feet been driven as a
drift in the most promising material
found in the company work, solid
body of quartz of undetermined
width from which assays of over Sc
have been secured. The quartz has
passed to the northeast out of the
crosscut and it is planned to follow
it with drift after the main work
ing has been advanced far enough
to permit this. Both crosscuts have
passed through numerous seams of
excellent appearance, but none was
of sufficient Importance to tempt
the management to develop them at
the present time until the body of
quartz was found far southeast of
the main developed part of the
mine.
The Florence Divide lease con-
tinues to make an important pro-
duction and yesterday 400 pounds
of ore estimated by E. A. Byler, en-
gineer for the Florence company, to
be worth from SIS to Sc pound was
sent by express to Midvale. Mr..
Byler is confident that the smelter
returns will show the shipment to
be worth not less than $1,000. Six
carload lots have been shipped from
this lease since November 1. The
per ton value of the first four, ac-
cording to smelter returns. was
s17s.Sf 1880. $55.O5 and $2S.40.
The last two shipments, made De-
cember s and Is. had an estimated
value of $50 and SIS per ton, al
though a grab sample from the last
lot assayed 1922.
The Dunn and Adamson leases
have each made a carload shipment
this month and the Boesch lease has
shipped twice, the ore assaying from
over $25 to over $50. Barker and
Heiden, developing a block near the
main shaft and at shallow depth,
are preparing a shipment of from
35 to 40 tons of ore that, according
to estimates, may average over
500.

familiar with them made an exam
ination of the Majuba mine last
week. He stated that he found con-
ditions there almost identical with
those at the Wheal Mary Ann-one
of Cornwall's most famous mines
especially the open fissure. The
only difference he noted was the
absence of galena at Majuba. The
tin occurs in the form of cassiterite,
the vein benig chalcedony combined
with chalytite.
Good progress is also being made
in the northwest drift from the
