- GUMAOS GOLDFIELDS INC. Total development footage during November was 281 feet, while an average of 110 men were employed. General conditions at the camp continued to be good. Tunnel No. 3, main drift south, was advanced 911/2 feet along the vein, over an average width of 36 inches, with good average values. The crosscut south was started 55 feet south of station No. 488 to cut the vein under the old workings on the surface, and was advanced 29 feet. A narrow (5-inch) stringer was cut which gave good assays. In tunnel No. 4 the crosscut east was advanced 281;2 feet in granite and stopped. The drift south at 487 feet from the portal was driven 13 feet on the vein. The drift north, at 487 feet from the portal was advanced 15 feet along the vein, across a width of 10 inches, with only low values showing. In tunnel No. 6 the crosscut east was advanced 66 feet in granite, and three stringers were cut, none of them showing commercial assays. 6 UNION MINES INC. Several doghole tunnels were started early in November at Union Mines with the object of investigating some of the more promising outcrops. Work has progressed quite satisfactorily in these dogholes, and during the month about 400 feet of this type of work was completed. None of the dogholes have as yet reached their objectives. Trail-cutting operations were curtailed during November, since almost sufficient work has been completed to open up the claims properly. In this trail-cutting work numerous vein structures ·have been exposed. Work on the main horsetrail of the property has progressed quite satisfactorily during the month. The trail between barrio Guinaang and the camp has been cleaned up and repaired. The shaft was sunk 38 feet. Due to bad ground, it was necessary to carry the timber to the bottom of the shaft. Bearers were placed 95 feet below the collar. The concrete foundation for the 30 horsepower hoist has been poured, and the hoist is now being installed. THE MARSMAN MAGAZINE for Decernber, .1937
