Show vein and no work to trace it was done by the Florence company in the cornish-man cornish-man claim, which adjoins the Jumbo on the northwest. McCarty haa foufid in the Cornishman claim and south of the fault a vein sixty feet wide, striking south 35 degrees east, which he says "lines up" with the open stope at the Florence line. South 35 degrees east corresponds cor-responds closely with the strike of the Jumbo vein, as stated by Ransome in his "Geologry and Ore Deposits of Gold-field, Gold-field, Nev." McCarthy says values show at three places that have been opened on the sur-faco sur-faco of this vein, south of the fault. He believes he has definitely established that he has found the extension of' the Jumbo vein, which would provide the Florence with 1200 feet of an ore channel heretofore hereto-fore unknown to exist. The Florence will immediately start a crosscut toward this vein on the seventh level and explore it with a drift south from the fault. McCarthy says the outcrop out-crop of the vein south of the fault is identical with the outcrop in the Jumbo and tnat he will develop his discovery to determine what, if any, effect the fault had. This fault is the same the Red Hill Florence is drifting south beyond in the main Florence vein, with unusually promising prom-ising indications of ore being found recently. re-cently. The discovery of this vein is considered consid-ered of great importance to the Florence, Flor-ence, and one of the most important features fea-tures is that additional exploration will be done south of the Florence fault on this occasion, as in the Red Hill, in "new" territory. FIND JUMBO VEIN IN FLORENCE MINE R. C. McCarthy, superintendent of the Florence under the new management, states that he believes he has found on the surface the extension of the Jumbo veins south beyond the east-west fault in the Florence, says the Cloldfield Tribune. The Jumbo oreshoot, the richest ever opened in Goldfield, was stoped through to the surface up to the Florence boundary line. The vein was thoucht to have either disappeared at the fault or to have turned south into tho main Florence |
