Show RUSH DEVELOPMENT ON THE SILVER PICK Goldfield Company's Gross Extraction for Month of August $267,500. Provision having been made for handling han-dling the increased flow of water, ex-ploratorv ex-ploratorv work is again in full swing at the properlv of the Silver Pick Consolidated Consoli-dated Mines company at Goldfield. says the Goldfield Tribune. For the storage of water during the six hours each day that the property is idle, a forty.-two-fooi croascut has been extended from the bottom bot-tom of the fifteen-foot sump below the 700-foor level. Were it not for this sump crosscut, it would he necessa ry lo opet -ate the pump practically continuously. The flow of water is steady around 250,-000 250,-000 gallons daily. The pump has a capacity capac-ity of 35.000 gallons daily. The raise in the new vein struck recently re-cently fifty-four feel above the east crosscut cross-cut on the 710-foot level and original 1; v thought to be the downward extension pf lh1 big quartz mass first revealed in the sinking of the shaft between the :'.no and 400-foot points, has gained a total height of 110 feet. From the point exposed ex-posed to the top of the raise 'the vein shows an average width of four feel between be-tween walls and yields low values. General Gen-eral Superintendent Norris is considering th extension of a crosscut to the vein from the 600-foot point in the shaft in order to prospect it with greater facility. The exploration of the old Phelan lease vein, exposed about two months ago on t he 500-foot level by the west crosscut from the shaft, is going steadily ahead. The north drift on the vein measures 122 feet in length and is exposing a full face of quartz yielding values from $5 to JO a ton. The south drift is 107 feet long and Is being ex t ended on t wo feet of quartz assaying from $2 to tl I a ton. |
