GRANDMA IS DRIFTING
IN LOW-GRADE ORE
IN QUARTZ ZONE
NONE OF LATERAL WORKINGS
HAVE ENTERED
SHALE

A drift in low-grade ore is be-
ing continued from the east, or
No. sol crosscut, at a depth of
SIS feet in the Grandma. Cross
cuts and drifts at this depth have
shown the quartz channel to be
212 feet wide. None of the lateral
workings have entered the shale,
which proves that the shaft enter
ed ridge in the surface of the
shale.
The entire territory surround
ing the shaft at a depth of SIS
feet is regarded as being one of
exceptional promise in which rich
bodies of ore may be exposed at
any stage of the prospecting now
being done. Ore of good grade
and width was recently opened in
this same ore-channel on the up
per levels of the Spearhead, north
of the shaft and near the old
Wheeler lease workings.

lease terms.
Important operations are now
we'll under way in the main prop
srty, where the chief efforts of the
company will be devoted to find
ing the intersection of the East and
Cracker Jack veins through a
winze now being sunk from the
north drift on the 320-foot level.
Raises will also be driven from
this level to open the Cracker Jack
vein. 1t is planned to connect
these raises with drifts, from which
other raises will be extended
through to the 120-foot level,
where large bodies of low-grade
ore are exposed.
A good force of miners is en-
ployed by the company and the
number of men will be increased
as the work advances. Operations
at the main property are in charge
of J. H. La Foe, foreman, and
work in the leased block is being
done under direct supervision of
P. l.. McGill, foreman for the Red

LATERAL WORK ON SURFACE
OF THE SHALE IS
PLANNED

The raise from the 1350-foot
level of the Merger, at the point
where a good body of ore was ex-
posed recently, has been advanced
40 feet and has broken through
the contact into the quartz zone
lying on the shale. The raise will
be continued in this territory un-
til it has passed out of the sill
Gifted zone, and . if promising in
dications of ore are not found the
contact will be explored through
lateral workings.
The raise has passed from the
orebody opened on the level, in
the main drift, but seams of good
ore continue to appear in the
quartz, according to Manager A.
I. DARCY.
AS in the adjoining Spearhead,
the main efforts of the Merger

opment in the quartz zone, which

The groundwork for the propos-
ed change in the leasing system
of the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company was laid this morning
when the company distributed a
notice saying that operations on
all properties would be discon-
tinued Feb. /. Concurrently an
other notice was circulated saying
it is expected that the property
will be reopened in the very near
future on lease basis, in which
case an effort will be made to per-

ground they now occupy, and that
further information would be fur

PIONEER DISTRICT
PIONEER SINKING SHAFT TO

The Pioneer district is fast be-
coming one of prominence. The
Pioneer mine, which has a big
production of high-grade ore to it's
credit, is now sinking the main
shaft, which is two-compartment,
from the 400-foot level to
= depth of 500 feet, where cross
Cuts will be run to explore the
vein.
In the Mayflower mine the work
of opening ore for the mill is
going steadily ahead. The May
flower already has made a large
production of high-grade milling
ore, showing average values of
between $40 and $25 per ton.

GETTING RICH

RY OTHING could better illustrate

open for even the humblest in
America than the recently made
public will of John Mitchell, former

showing that he had accumulated a
fortune of nearly quarter of mill

ial estate is an unanswerable refuta-
ton of the oft-heard assertion that
men get rich only by grinding others

by everybody, was one of the most
notable leaders of the uplift move
nent in the world and u man of ex-
smplary character, trusted by all
and respected even by those who did

ions.
1t will not be denied that the mine

not at the expense of other men. IL

United States at about the same
time. Both went to the st. Louis
convention, where D'Olier was chair
man of the Pennsylvania delega-
ton.
After that convention the real
work of forming the Legion started.
ItooSeNelt'S part in this is widely
known, and no invidious comparison
is intended when it is stated that
D'Olier did the work. lie opened
offices in New York and without any
blare of trumpets or publicity for
himself started TO do for the Legion
what he did for the salvage sys-
tem-started, in short, to organize.
Turns Down Fat Job
When he was in the midst of this
job one of the largest trust COM
panies in New York got detailed re-
ports of what he did in France and
offered the lieutenant colonel q job
with a salary almost equal to that
of the President of the United
States. He explained without turn
ing a hair that he had pledged him
self to stand by the Legion for one
year and to see il started. OF course,
he might have delegated the work
of organization to somebody else.
But D'Olier's method of getting
things done is to stay on the job
and do them. SO the trust COM
panys offer went by the board.
The first president of the Legion
will be more than an official to pre-
side at social functions. If his rec
ord to date may he accepted he
will be the dynamic force in the or
ganiZation. But unless somebodN
else recognizes this and continually
points out his achievements as his
plans come TO fruition hardly any
body will know il. For Colonel
D'Olier gets his fun out of the work
and doesn't care a snap of his finger
for the plauditS that sometimes fol-
low work well done.

For twenty-five years the colonel
has been known in business circles
in Philadelphia as man of sound
judgment and vision. He was born
April IS. 1877. the only son of Will
