far this month two carloads of shipping grade rock to the millers sampler of the western ore purchasing company the increased shipment from the mine reflect the highly pleasing condition in the various workings of the property the east drift into the velvet claim on the foot intermediate level now out feet beyond the Po leverd claim line is exposing a full face of 22 ore it has connected with and passed beyond the above the raise from the northeast drift on the foot level in which six feet of mill ore is being mined from the northeast drift at a point about feet from the Po leverda line a south crosscut has been started to the vein A drift has been started on four feet of 1937 ore from the above the 97 foot raise from the southeast crosscut from the main south crosscut on the 1017 foot level in the Po leverda claim florence goldfield according to the preliminary estimate of consulting engineer J K turner the output of the florence goldfield mine during the month of may amounted to wet tons and the net profits approximately 13 that the mine will make equally as good a showing during this month is certain general superintendent harry B clapp being authority for the statement that thus far approximately tons have been to the millers sampler of the western ore purchasing company the above figures furnish ample evidence of the excellent conditions prevailing in the mine A fair tonnage of ore is being yielded by the above the main north drift on the fifty foot level on the originally revealed several months ago by a branch raise off the main rise above the main north drift on the foot level in the immediate vicinity of the shaft the top of the is exposing two and a half feet of 15 to 20 ore the slopes on the hanging wall section of the florence vein above the foot level north and south of the shaft are producing an excellent tonnage in the south face of the there is four feet of 15 ore while six feet of 20 rock is being broken down from the north face from froin a drift on the foot level in the old baby florence lease territory a raise has been started on six to eight inches of ore that assays essays from 40 to a ton superintendent clapp has temporarily abandoned work in the east crosscut from the main north drift on the foot level which is designed to intercept the downward extension of the explored to a depth of feet in the old von polenz lease in the early operations on the property A raise has been started on oil three 1 feet of low grade quartz from the main north drift on the foot level to hect with a forty foot below the con foot level of the old wheeler lease silver pick con the recent strike in the south drift from froin the east crosscut along the hanging wall of the big vein on the foot level of the th silver pick consolidated mine continues continue to hold first position in the interest of the local mining fraternity under the diorec tion of general superintendent walter walters s norris its exploration is being pushed as vigorously as possible and the find is im in proving in the most gratifying manner the face of the drift at a point about feet from the east crosscut reveals one foot of ore that gives values of 58 in gold two ounces in silver and f five ve per cent copper per ton in addition to three feet that assays essays 22 in gold two ounces in silver and five per cent in copper the drift face is about feet north of the boundary line of the combination mine of the goldfield consolidated mines imenes company and there is every condition present to substantiate the theory of the manag menet that the ore body disclosed is the continuation of the main combination ledge A raise on the discovery will be started from the foot level to connect with the south drift on the same vein on the foot level j goldfield oro there has been a steady improvement IJ during the last week in the appearance of the big vein of the oro property as revealed by the north and south drifts from the station recently completed at a depth of feet in the foot shaft both drifts now measure about sixty feet in length from the shaft while the vein on the south drift is somewhat broken the face of the north drift is steadily improving in appearance pe arance the quartz there is taking more solid form and the values are increasing in a thoroughly pleasing manner ore averaging a ton is being extracted from the entire bottom of the 68 foot from the south drift on the vein on the foot level of the vernal property the was vas originally sunk last fall when three carloads of excellent ore were extracted sinking operations were recently resumed in the to make a connection with a raise aloin bom the south drift on the foot level the connection will soon be made following which the will be explored
