From the statement Of Mr..
Darcy that ore has been found in
this crosscut it is evident that the
main Atlanta vein is being entered
at depth of 1900 feet. This vein
has been the objective of slow and
costly operations for long period.
Large quantities of ore of good
grade were exposed in the vein on
and above the 1850-foot level and
the opening of an orebody at this
depth would not only be of great
value to the Atlanta, but would be
of vital Importance to the entire
district.
Continuing, Mr. Darcy says in
his report: "On Feb 4 six
inch streak in the face gave an
assay of $50 per ton. The result
of the development of the mine to
date has been to prove the exist
ence of a considerable tonnage of
milling grade ore, but owing to
the lense-shaped deposits it is i'm
possible to estimate the tonnage of
ore now in sight in the mine"
In conclusion, Mr.. Darcy says:
"a better feeling in regard to the
future of deep mining in Goldfield
is gradually growing, brought
about by the developments in the
Spearhead and Merger properties,
which have also demonstrated the
existence of deposits of gold-copper
ore at depth in the Goldfield dis

HASBROUCK RENEWING
SHAFT T|MBERs
At DIVIDE
GOOD ORE is FOUND ON SUR
FACE NEAR
SHAFT

A carload of lumber has been
hauled to the Hasbrouck, west of
Gold Mountain in the Divide dis
trict, and work of retimbering the
shaft, which is estimated to be
400 feet deep, has been started
The company plans lateral work
at a depth of $50 feet and it will
be necessary to retimber the shaft
to this depth, as the old timbers
were rotted to such an extent that
they are of no value
A tunnel over 1900 feet long is
being continued into Hasbrouck
mountain to cut vein in which
good assays were obtained on the
surface.
In excavating for a compressor
house ore assaying over $50 per
ton recently was found on the sur
face near the shaft.

SHAFT STILL BEING SUNK
THROUGH UPPER
RHYOLITE

The shaft of the East Divide is
$50 feet deep, according to Joe
Mayer, manager for the company.
Lateral work may be started at a
depth of 800 feet, but this will de-
pend on when the cap rock" is
penetrated and the underlying ore
bearing formation is found.
This favorable formation was
first found in the Brougher, ad-
joining the Divide on the north
west, at depth of 400 feet, where
the harder and more compact ma
terial was entered. The Brougher
shaft was then continued to 500
feet, where crosscut is being

The report of the general man
ager is as follows:
Operations of the property of
the ReOrganized Atlanta Mines
company have been continued since
the date of reorganization and the
development of the mine has been
carried forward by means of the
winze below the 1750-foot level
You were informed in the last re-
port that lateral work had been
started on the 19O0-foot level from
the vertical winze and that owing
to the change of dip in the vein to
a more flat angle the crosscut from
the winze had not encountered the
vein at the point where it was ex-
pected. A raise was put up from
the crosscut and encountered the
vein on a flat dip and disclosed
seven feet of ore assaying $11 per
ton in gold and copper. An in
termediate level was then started
at approximately 1850 feet below
the surface, which encountered the
vein and disclosed low values in
gold and copper. Raises were put
up at intervals along the course
of the vein and have demonstrated
the existence of an additional ton
mage of milling grade gold-copper
ore. The main crosscut from the
winze was then advanced and with
in the last day or two we have cut
several streaks of good ore."

NEW COMPANY IS
FIXING AIR LINES
ABLE AT ALL
SHAFTS

Since the Goldfield Develop
ment company took over the oper-
alton of the Consolidated mines,
the Merger and Kewanas compan-
les have been forced to suspend op-
erations temporarily. The new
company is repairing the compress
ed air lines at all main shafts and
a new compressor has been in
stalled at the Combination. Com
pressed air is again being furnish
ed at the Mohawk and Combination
and will be available at the other
shafts in short time.
The Merger secures compressed
air from the Grizzly Bear shaft
and the supply for the Kewanas is
secured from the Red Top.

ANNUAL MEETING

L. d. Gordon, president of the
Round Mountain Mining company
and Fairview Round Mountain Min
ing company, yesterday predicted
an unparalleled year of prosperity
for the Round Mountain company
in this year through operation of
the placer fields. President Cor
don said: at looks as though,
after several bad years, the Round
Moutnain is facing a real year, as
the snowfall in both watersheds
has been heavy. Before the re-
cent fall there was three feet of
snow on the level, to which has
been added 18 inches from the
last storm at the Jett dam" He
said the company was in excellent
financial oncjtion and, although
he made 40 definite statement. he
indicated that dividend would be
declared at the annual directors

cisco in about two weeks. After
this meeting annual reports will be
mailed to stockholders.
Mr. Gordon and H. G. May I.

view property paying another divi-
dend. This company, late last year,
declared two 1-cent dividends.
Two hundred thousand shares of
stock of the company is owned by
the Round Mountain and these
dividends added materially to the
resources of the latter company.
During last year, Mr.. Gordon said,
the operations of lessees in the
lode mine of the Round Mountain
resulted in a net return to the
parent company of $4,000.
In predicting a period of great
activity for gold mining in the
near future, Mr.. Gordon discussed
the new excess profits bill, under
which, he said, no excess profits
will be paid by gold mines, to COM
pensate the mine owners for their
losses during the war, when, al
though the price of gold remained
stationary, there was a large in

FLORENCE LEASES
PRODUCE SEVEN
CARS OF ORE
WITT AND BRANDON LEASE
is PRINCIPAL
SHIPPER

Seven carloads of ore have been
shipped this month by lessees OPP
Grating in the Florence. Three of
these carloads came from the Witt
and Brandon lease, three from the
Red Hill Florence, holding lease
on practically the entire Red King
claim, and one came from the
Boesch and Giles lease. George
Pearson and Joe Good, leasing on
the north end of the Florence
ground, have entered promising
vein after 100 feet of crosscutting.
In drifting in this vein they have
opened narrow seams of good ore.
This vein is in entirely new terri
tory.
The main producer on the Flor
ence at present is the Witt and
Brandon lease. This block is
small, but includes the rich Little
Florence territory, the shaft of
which is situated in the leased
ground WOrk IS DelnS uOue
above the 5S0-foot level and on
the 250-foot level, particularly
high-grade ore being broken in a
raise from the 5S0-foot level. This
lease recently made good ship
ment of ore assaying $400 per ton.
Other shipments will be made
before the end of the month, which
promises to be an exceptionally
gratifying 30-day period for the
lessees and the Florence company
as the shipment of this quantity
of ore in a comparatively short
time is unusual. The Witt and
Brandon lease is fairly regular
shipper, but shipments from the
other leases are irregular.
Witt and Brandon. according to
e. A. Byler, manager for the Flor
ence company, appear to be "in the
money" although he says further
work will be necessary to prove
the extent Of the ore in which they
are working.

CR0SSCUT IS
STARTED IN
RED HILL
NEW WORKING is ENTERING
UNEMPLOYED TER
RITORY

A crosscut, directly toward the
hanging wall of the Riley vein,
was started a few days ago in the
Red Hill Florence. When rich ore
was opened late in January in the
so-called hanging-wall drift, this
drift, after being extended a short
distance, was turned parallel to
the main drift. The new cross
cut is being driven from where
the drift was turned. At this
point there is an apparent fault
and the crosscut is being extended
to prospect along this fault.
The drift being driven parallel
to the main drift continues to ex-
pose ore of erratic value and the
so-called foot-wall drift is in non
commercial ore.
The company recently shipped
the third carload of ore.
The new crosscut is entering en-
tirely unexplored territory, no
work ever having been done this
far toward the hanging-wall by
the early day lessees.

The station at a depth of 500
feet in the Brougher shaft has
been completed and the shaft is
being extended a short distance be-
yond the station before crOsscut-
ting is started so that the shaft
timbers will not be injured by
blasting when sinking is resumed.
The crosscut will reach the vein
within 100 feet from the shaft.
The shaft has been extended al
most 100 feet into the unaltered
rhyolite breccia and the manage
ment is confident that ore will be
found in the vein at this depth.

PRICES COMING DOWN ON

'NN1HILE complaint is still general
WV over the high prices charged for
the necessities Of life, it Is clearly APP
parent that the decline has set in and
from now ON we may expect to see a
downward trend. We admit this is
"a somewhat optimistic statement in
face Of prevailing prices, but the gov
ernments report and the conditions
existing in other countries warrant it.

However, the same foodstuffs are still

Public demand in this country is
forcing a decline. This is also true of
England. In the latter country there
is a noticeable decline in the prices of
clothing. the decrease in some instanc-
es being as great as 20 per cent. The
new bargaining spirit among the peo-
pie is held to be partly responsible for
part of the decline in England. This
is also true of the United States. Shar-
pened through necessity to get all they
can for their money, the consumers are
not backward in hunting about for the
best price on all goods classed as the
necessities Of life. Indeed, we are
drifting back to the days of the mar
ket basket. People are devoting more
of their time watching for bargains
and taking advantage Of them. Next

pending consumers, engaged in small
gardening or at least marketing. Tho
COW is likely to come back to the town
lot. Chickens will strut about the back
yard and in many other small ways
consumers will try to bring down the
high cost of living. In the meantime
there will be a natural decline, for
prices cannot remain as high as they
have been. And it is to the best in
terest of the country as q whole that
they do not.
