CRACKER JACK CUTS
EIGHT FEET OF S25 ORE

What is regarded as the most i'm
portant and interesting work now
being done in the Goldfield district
aside from the Development opera
tions is that of the Cracker Jack,
where the Cracker Jack" vein,
formed in the Columbia mountain
fault, is being developed at a point
where the opening of additional ore
at greater depth would prove the
most important discovery since the
early days of the district.
1t Is conservatively estimated
that there is $4,000 tons of ore of
an average value OF So exposed in
the Cracker Jack above the 12O-
foot level in an oreshoot that has
been proved for 500 feet on the dip
of the vein, for a length of 800
feet and for width of eight feet.
This ore was opened in earlier oper-
ations and at the present time, after
four years of almost continual de-
velopment, the vein which has only
a slight dip, has been opened at
vertical depth of $50 feet and
shows a width of Is feet against
eight on the 120-foot level. and
been exposed on the foot wall
The opening of this ore followed
- .s.~1v -
the 320-foot level. The winze will
be sunk another 40 feet and a cross
cut driven to the vein, which will
give an additional depth of 100 feet
on the dip. Should the latter work
prove ore in the vein at a vertical
depth of 420 feet it will mean that
the Cracker Jack has been devel-
oped into a big mine. The opening
Of eight feet of $25 ore on the 800
foot level, taken in connection with
the big body of So ore exposed
above the 120-foot level, is taken
as almost a certain indications that
the ore" goes down" and that the
present work is being done on the
top of a large and valuable body.
On the 120-foot level it was
found that the andesite hanging and
the rhyolite foot wall came to-
gether, completely obliterating all
trace of the vein, which was not
exposed again until it was cut on
the 320-foot level, and there is was
of only slight width. 1t was not

NEW YORK MEN PURCHASE
NINE NEAR CHERRY CREEK

The Mother Lode mine, four
miles north of Cherry Creek, has
been purchased by New York men
and work has been started The
Mother Lode was a large producer
in the early days and in recent
years, while being operated under
lease, several carloads of 50-ounce
ore were shipped. The mine is
well equipped with machinery and
the new management plans to sink
a deep shaft.

until nearly the entire depth of the
winze had been sunk that it was
seen the vein had widened and that
the long period of exploration had
point. All work below the 120-foot
level was done on the strength of
the showing above that depth anG
since the opening of the much
higher grade ore in the winze H. G.
Mcmahon, manager for the COM
pany, is confident that exploration
of the vein at still greater depth
will prove big tonnage of ore of
shipping grade. In this event it
would be possible to erect an aerial
tramway to the Consolidated mill
and treat the ore there at a good
profit. Thousands of feet of work
has been done in the mine and on
the 320-foot level the east crosscut
is 100 feet long, proving the ex-
tent of the work required to bring
the mine to the present stage. from
which it is believed comparatively
little work will be necessary to
reach the producing stage.
No work is being done at pres
ent in the east vein, dipping east
20 degrees. Bodies of ore of mill
gSAde have been exposed in this
vein in large quantity and minor
purpose in sinking the winze from
the 320-foot level was to discover
how this vein would alter the
Cracker Jack vein in passing
through it. 1t was shown that the
latter was not altered in any. way

Inquiry today of Whitman symmes
president aud superintendent of the
north end mines, relative to under
ground conditions reveals the situa-
tion to be one of unusual interest
and importance, with late ore de-
velopments greatly enlarging the
ore bearing zone, and with values OF
the high grade variety. On the 1000
level of the Con. Virginia opera
tions are bringing the first ore re-
suits in the plan and work to get
back into the old burned district
of the world famous mine, and that
the ore, which at first averaged $40
is now around $40 to the ton car
samples, is very significant and in
dicative of the great possibilities
which exist~ in this district and is
most substantial evidence that the
Bonanza territory still contains ore
of high class. The ore now being
opened up appears to be between
two old slopes. Where the former
work was stopped no values were in
evidence but in going ahead along
the vein at this point ore has again
been found by Superintendent
Symmes, and car samples last week
showed $3S ore extracted. Chutes
are to be put in and stopping started.
Picked samples run as high as $500
and 5000 to the ton. This ore ap-
pears to be part of the original bo-
nanza which was overlooked by the
old timers, and the vein is making
into the old bonanza Slopes. As
work proceeds upward upon it, the
ore appears to be widening.
Operations of moment are also
being carried up on a narrow vein
in new ground and on good grade
of ore, the weekly reports showing
ccr samples ranging from SAT to
s72 to the ton. The last ~bulkheah

The report of J. B. Kendall, gen
eral manager, follows:
The main Mayflower shaft has
been retimbered and repaired to the
5O0-foot level and stations repaired
on the 200, 800, 400 and 5OO-foot
levels. On the 2OO-foot level, we
have repaired the track, and air
pipe has been placed for 400 feet.
On the 3O0-foot level We have re-
paired the track and air pipe has
been placed for 500 feet. On the
4OO-foot level we have repaired the
track, and air pipe has been placed
for 500 feet.
During the period of operation
229O linear feet of new ground was
broken in drifts, crosscuts and
raises.
The new work has been devoted
to prospecting the vein on the 200,
800, 400, and 500-foot levels.
The vein has been proven to be
more than eight feet wide. Present
development shows $4,000 tons of
ore blocked out, averaging SIS per
ton
The company has broken during
the period covered in this report
1000 tons of ore, which is stored in
the mine and in bins and which
shows an average value of $12 per
ton.
John H. Miller, secretary and
treasurer, says in his report:
At the directors meeting, held at
Pioneer on July 21, 1919, the ques-
ticn of milling the new ore now de-
veloped was discussed. After due
consideration, it was decided that
for the present the company would
repair and improve with new con-
centrating tables unit of five
stamps in the mill which belongs to
the company, and mat a test run
would be made to determine if the
metallic content of the ore can be
extracted; and if the test is sue
cessful, the management will pro-
ceed to repair and improve the other
10 stamps in the mill and proceed
to mill the ore developed.
The mine, in general. looks very
encouraging. ore having been devel-
ojed in many places. Some of this

DEVELOPMENT STARTS
DRIFT TOWARD
FLORENCE
LOW-GRADE TONNAGE IN THE
RED TOP MAY BE
DOUBLED

/ The Goldfield Development COM
pany. following completion of the
crosscut to the main shaft, has
started extending the main haulase-
way in the Combination into the
Florence. The head frame has been
erected at the shaft and construc-
tion of ore bins will be started as
soon as lumber arrives.
The mill may be started in Aug
ust, but it is believed more prob
able that it will be started shortly
after September l. 1t was hoped
to start the plant about August l.,
but this was blocked by delay in
the delivery of machinery and belt
ing, practically all of the latter hav-
ing to be renewed.
The resources of low-grade ore
are being added to constantly, par
ticularly in the Red ToL, where it
is believed the present tonnage
eventually will be doubled by the
opening of the oreshcot for an ad-
ditional 300 feet, which will mean a
total length of 600 feet and 400,-
600 tons of ore.
The great increase in the prob
able tonnage and known value of
the ore in the Red Top has been the
most gratifying feature of the pre-
liminary work of the Development
company to date and only part Of
the resources in this mine will be
ample to pay all of the heavy initial
expenses and leave fat treasury.
The profit the company will de-
rive from the treatment of a big
tonnage of ore assaying over $40
may be judged from the statement
of A. |. Darcy, vice president and
general manager of the company, in
his preliminary report issued late in
March in which he said:
with the cheap mining method
at the mine and a simple cyanide
treatment at the mill, it will be
profitable to handle ores of a value
as low as SO per ton, with value
in excess of SIS per ton and a tom
mage of approximately 10000 tons
the undertaking should show a
profit of $3,O0O,0OO or net profit of
$130 per share for the entire capi-
talization of the company"
Since this statement was made
the tonnage has, through the Flor
ence deal and increased ore in the
Red Top, been raised to from 2,20O,-
900 to 100000 tons. or 100000
in the Combination, 100000 in the
Florence and from 100000 to 40O,-
600 in the Red Top. The Red Top
ore has placed the average value of
the material in all mines far above
the preliminary estimates.
At the regular monthly meeting
of the development company held
here on July 21, l.. e. Wicher OF
New York was elected an additional
director.
