high-grade ore is showing in the
face.
The vein in which the drift was
being driven southeast when it cut
the new vein stands nearly verti-
cal and on the 165 and 265-foot
levels was found with only one
wall we'll defined, the orebody be-
ing of greater width than when
opened on the 365-foot level, but
the ore disappeared at one side
without any sign of wall.
When the vein was opened
through a crosscut on the 365-foot
level it was found within well-de-
fined walls and drift was driven
70 feet northwest from the cross
cut, at which point the vein be-
came poor and work in this direc-
tion was stopped. The drift to
the southeast, on the foot wall of
the vein, was continued with cross
cuts to the hanging wall at 50-foot
intervals. The ore was found
richer than on the upper levels
and molybdenum, which was found
in considerable quantity in the ore
on upper levels, practically disap-
peared at this depth. Tests were
made early in the history of the
mine to discover a process for
saving the molybdenum, but when
the small molybdenum content of
the ore on the 365-foot level was
discovered these plans were aban-
doned.
AS the drift was continued the
mine gradually attracted greater
attention, it being realized in
mining circles that the Divide was
developing into one of the leading
silver-gold mines of the country.
Shipping was started in October
and the rate of shipment. has been
increased until from 80 to 35 tons
of ore are now being sent from
the mine daily, the material COM
ing entirely from development
work. No stopping has been done
at any point in the mine.

value of the ore increased to
$397.80. On the night of Dec.
81 the face was widened to six
feet, the entire width assaying
$35S.30. AS work progressed in
the next few days there was ex-
posed at the intersection of the
two veins a semi-circular face IS
feet wide and assaying $3.50 per
ton. This grade of ore Is contin-
uing in both the crosscut and drift.
The main shaft is being sunk
from the 365-foot level and will
be continued to a depth of from
700 to 500 feet, with stations at
100-foot intervals for further de-
velopment of the orebody.
Until recently ore from the To-
nopah Divide was treated in the
mill of the Goldfield Consolidated
Mines company at Goldfield, but
the entire product is now going to
the MacNamara mill at Tonopah,
which is better equipped than the
Goldfield mill for the recovery Of
the silver content of the ore.

toward the surface. This indi-
Gates improvement at depth and
the winze in which work will soon
be started will be sunk from tho
drift, at a point where the best
ore was exposed. Through the
winze the junction of the east and
Cracker Jack veins also will be
opened and it is expected that a
large zone of enrichment will be
found at this point, where condi-
tions are believed to be excellent
for the discovery of a rich ore
body
When this work is we'll under
way other development of the
main property will be undertaken
by the management.
Good bodies of milling-grade
ore were exposed in earlier work
of the Cracker Jack company near
er the surface and high-grade ore
also was found above the 12O-foot
level, the discoveries at times at
tracing wide attention. For this
reason the work soon to be start
ed is regarded as being of grea.

ATLANTA IS DRIVING
FOR MAIN VEIN ON
19O0-FOOT LEVEL
GOOD FORCE OF MINERS EN-
PIOYED IN CROSS
CUTTING

The east crosscut on the 1900
foot level of the Atlanta is being
continued with two shifts of min
ers to cut the main Atlanta vein
at this depth. Owing to condi-
tions under which the work is
being done slow progress is being
made, although good force of
miners are employed. 1t is neces-
sary to tram all material broken
in the winze from the 1750-foot
level for hoisting to that level and
again tram it from the top of
the winze to the shaft for hosting
to the surface.
When this winze was sunk it
was supposed, from the steep dip
of the vein above the 750-foot
level, that the vein would be cut
at about 100 feet, but at this depth
quartz zone was penetrated,
which later proved to be the west
vein, cut at point where it
was flattened through contact with
the shale, and the winze was con-
tinued, reaching the shale at $50
feet. A station was then cut in
the winze and a crosscut driven
east to reach the main vein. This
was continued for $50 feet with
out reaching the vein and a 60
foot raise was driven. The raise
entered the vein at this point and
milling ore of good grade was ex-
posed. Another crosscut was then
driven, cutting the vein on the
1850-foot level and a raise, driven
on an incline and cutting the vein
at an angle to the dip, broke into
a large body of low-grade ore. The
crosscut is now being extended to
cut this orebody on the 1950-foot
level.

KEWANAS DRIFT Is
BEING DRIVEN IN
LOW-GRADE ORE
SOUTH DRIFT HAS NOT YET
ENTERED ORE
SHOOT

The north drift from the bottom
of the winze from the S4O-foot lev
ell of the Kewanas is being contin-
ued in low-grade ore. The south
drift is being driven to open the
continuation of this ore-shoot, but
has not entered the shoot, accord
ing to Manager A. I. Darcy.
The winze was sunk on mar
row ore-shoot opened during the
period the Jumbo Junior company
was operating a lease on the Ke-
wanas. This ore-shoOt passed out
of the 10O-foot incline winze and
the present work is being done to
explore the vein at the bottom OF
the winze.
Good ore was opened in the
north drift recently and contin-
ued for a short distance to show
a width of four feet.

The great new vein opened in
the Tonopah Divide, in the Divide
district, has been crosscut for 81
feet without disclosing the hanging
wall of the vein, according to A. l..
Darcy, consulting engineer for
the company. The lowest assay
secured was $62 and the highest
$5O6. The ore is now breaking
from $3.50 to $175 per ton,, ac-
cording to samples taken from
mine cars.

SECOND SHIFT TO Be
EMPLOYED IN SHAFT
OF EAST DIVIDE
NO LATERAL WORK PLANNED
FOR 2OO-FOOT
POINT

1t has been decided to perform
no lateral work in the East Divide
until the shaft, which is now 1SO
feet deep, has reached a depth of
from $50 to 800 feet, the depth
at which lateral work will be start
ed to depend on conditions found
in the shaft. A second shift of
miners will be put to work tOmor-
row, meaning doubling of the
speed with which the shaft is be-
ing sunk.
The recent discovery in the To-
nopah Divide caused renewed in
terest in the operations of the East
Divide, which lies short distance
east of the big bonanza. Particu-
larly encouraging to the manage
ment of the East Divide has been
the fact that throughout the en-
tire depth Of the shaft conditions
have been found identical with
those on the upper levels of the
Tonopah Divide and the opinion Is
freely expressed here that the next
few months will see shipments be-
ing made on a good scale, follow
ing development of the wide vein
at depth.
Joe Mayer, one of the pioneer
mining men of the Goldfield dis
trict, is president and manager of
the company and J. X. Turner,
consulting engineer for the
Sprague companies, holds this po-
sition with the East Divide.

ROUND MOUNTAIN MAY
ENLARGE STAMP MILL

1t is reported that the mill of
the Round Mountain Mining COM
pany, which has been operating
entirely on ore extracted from the
mine by lessees, will be taken over
by the company in short time
and the capacity increased from
200 tons daily to from 400 to 600
tons. The company netted $780,
900 in 1918 from the operations
of lessees. 1t is also reported that
the placer field owned at Round
Mountain by the company will be
worked next year on the same scale
as heretofore. Last year, al
though the placer mining season
was short, the revenue derived
from this source was large, the
company having one of the best
years since operations were started.

BROUGHER PLANS FOR
CROSSCUTT|NG TO
REACH BIG VEIN
NINE ADJOINING TONOPAH d.
VIDE MAY BE NEXT
SHIPPER

The shaft of the Brougher Di-
vide Mining company, in the Di-
vide district, has reached a depth
of 355 feet and it is planned to
start a crosscut for the big Di-
vide vein, which runs through the
claims, at an additional depth of
35 feet, according to Manager A.
/. Darcy, consulting engineer for
the Tonopah Divide and Brougher
companies. The Brougher lies to
the northwest of and adjoining
the Tonopah Divide and it is the
opinion in Goldfield that it will be
the next big shipper from the dis
trict.
A station was cut in the shaft
at a depth of TT feet and on this
level a large amount of work was
performed in the vein, which was
found to be 80 feet wide. The
vein was found to be leached and
only low-grade ore was opened at
any point in the work.
To determine conditions at
greater depth sinking of the shaft
was resumed with three shifts of
miners and has been continued at
a rate of about $50 feet per
month.

ROCHESTER, RESUMES

Mining and milling, suspended
because of the influenza epidemic,
have been resumed by the Ro-
chester Mines company. New ore
bodies, said to be of higher grade
than any previously found in the
mine, are being explored on the
lower levels and large production
is expected during the present year.
A shortage of miners is said to
continue at the Silver State mine
at Packard, only a small crew be-
ing employed at present.

FOUR FEET OF ORE OPENED
ON 4OO-FOOT
LEVEL

Important results are being OBJ
tanned from work on a large scale
recently started in the Mayflower
mine at Pioneer, according to re-
ports from Manager j. B. Kendall.
who is personally in charge of op-
erations at the mine. The May
flower, generally regarded sa one OF
the most important gold mines in
the state, is being developed under
a new directorate and manage
ment.
The drift being driven north on
the 400-foot level is reported to
have exposed four feet of ore as
saying $35 and the crosscut being
driven to cut the vein on the 800
foot level has been advanced IL
feet. This crosscut is reported to
be nearing the vein, in which drifts
will be driven north and south.
The north drift will be extended
to connect with the bottom of q
winze from the 400-foot level,
where an orebody was exposed by
former management. Aside
from the cutting of station in
the shaft no work was done by
former managements on the 500
foot level.
Ore of good milling grade also
is exposed in a raise from the 200

SILVER PICK READY
TO DEVELOP VEIN
ON DEEP LEVEL
SHAFT BEING SUNK BELOW
13OO-FOOT LEVEL FOR
SUMP

The shaft of the Silver Pick is
being continued below the 1900
foot level to form a sump and lat
eral work will soon be undertake
en- at this depth to explore the
body of molybdenum ore opened
at 1850 feet.
At a depth Of 1850 feet high
ly mineralized quartz zone was
Ruetrated by the sshast. This
Ided good assays in gold and
silver and the presence of molybde-
mum gave interest to the discovery.
The quartz zone apparently was
opened near it's top and the later
al work to be started at 1900 feet
is designed to determine the size
and value of the body at this
depth.
Development work in the Silver
Pick is of interest to mining men
and Of importance to the district,
as in the early days it was the
opinion that no ore would be
found west of the Columbia noun
tain fault, the territory in which
the Silver Pick is operating. The
result of work thus far has been
to prove that the territory is
heavily mineralized and it is con-
sidered that the company has ex-
cellent prospects for opening ore
in paying quantities.
