MINES AND MINING.

cred by |. w. Johnson, near Cambridge,
in Mason valley, from which assays of
over 5000 per ton were obtained.
Work on the mining properties at
Ely, White Pine county, in which Mrs.
Mckinley is interested, is going on
without interruption. The Saxton shaft
is down 1853 feet and new steam hoist
is being put in place.
The first payment of $4,000 has been
made on the purchase of group of
copper claims on Granite Hill, Washoe
county consisting of the Blue Jay', Bald
Eagle, Fan Tail, Harry r., Great CAST
ern, r. d. r. and Flying Dutchmal.
The April Fool Mining Company of
DeLamar, Lincoln county, has elected
new board of directors, with w. 5.
Godbe as president, J. d. Wood, vice.
president; Simon Bamberger, treasurer;
l.. D. Wertheimer, secretary. Tests are
being conducted, with the view of
working the ores from the winze more
economically.
Yesterday w. Brougher. T. l.. oddie
and Frank Golden left for Dayton,
where they will inspect the working of
their ore at the Douglas mill. 1t is
likely that arrangements will be made
to work a considerable amount of the
ore that is now on the dumps at To-
nopah. While this helps Dayton the
share of the profits.-Carson Appeal.
The Calumet and Hecla Copper Com
pany of Michigan has declared divi-
dend of $40 per share, amounting to ST.

and it will make a total of SsS,35o 600
nouncement of the last dividend the
stock sold at $3.50 per share, against
$500 per share just previously. The par
value of the stock is SIS. so that the
last dividend is at the rate of 40 per
cent on par value.
The prospects of a second Tonopah
near this place are remarkably bright
Ore that runs 800 per ton has been
found in place in wide lodges and the
ledges are numerous if judgment may
be based on groupings. The new dis
covery has followed the locations of
erts and Stewart up in Veasey canyon,
about four miles from this citv. The
first named are working on a ledge
which assays $50 a ton, over $50 of
which is copped. The have force of
men employed and are developing their
property fast. Roberts and Stewart
have found the ledge. 1t runs about $40
in gold and Is per cent in copper. This
ore is found in stringers every few
feet and it looks like a bonanza. They
also have men working. Thirty loca-
tions have been made in the last two
or three days.-Carson News.
The Butte Inter Mountain, in it's hol-
iday number. gives some interesting
figures relating to the great new smelt-
ing plant just completed at Anaconda
by the Amalgamated Copper Company
The plant, with its equipment will cost
of 600 tons daily. 1t is claimed TO be
the largest plant of the kind on earth.
Practically 1900 tons of structural steel
will be used in the construction of the
buildings that make up the plant. There
are six buildings-the concentrator and
bins, the blast furnace, the reverpera-
tory, the power house, the machine
shops and the roaster. The plant is To-
catod three miles east of Anaconda.
The buildings are constructed of steel,
brick, stone and wood, and are sup
posed to be completely fireproof. In the
construction Il, 500, 900 bricks were used
and 20500, 900 feet of lumber. The ma
chinery and material used would have
loaded $4,000 cars of twenty tons each.
The concentrator is $40 feet long and
extends down the hill a distance of 600
feet Relow this are three slum bins
