TONOPAH WANTS NEW COUNTY
County Seat Fight of Two Years
Ago Will Be Resumed.

The Carson City correspondent sent
the following to the Sacramento Bee
under date of Nov. IS:
There will be a bitter fight at the
next session of the Legislature over the
creation Of a new county for the bene-
fit of Tonopah, and over a proposed
change in the boundaries of Esmeralda,
Nye and Lyon Counties. The great in
crease of population in the towns of
Goldfeld and Tonopah is responsible
for the trouble. The two places are so
situated hat it is almost impossible for
them to transact their legal business
without great loss of time in travelling
to their respective county seats, which
are far distant and can be reached only
by stage.
Tonopah precipitated the fight. 1t is
located in Nye County, the seat of
which is Belmont, rs miles away by
stage through a mountainous country.
Tonopah wants to become the county
seat of Nye County, and if it cannot
secure this, will introduce a bill to
create a new county to be carved out of
Nye and Esmeralda and to be named
Butler, the seat of which shall be Tono.
pah. This week another plan was
sprung. 1t is to change the boundaries
of Nye, Esmeralda and Lyon so as to
place Tonopah in Esmeralda County, the
seat of which, it is suggested, be moved
from Hawthorne to Goldfield. Gold
field is only 80 miles from Tonopah,
and it is believed that Tonopah would
agree to this as a compromise.
On account of the political COM
plexion of the counties involved the
propositions are being bitterly opposed.
The fight in the Legislature is expected
to be spectacular.

INCREASING DEMAND FOR ZINC.
The Cyanide Process Has Stimulated
a Market for That Metal.

a Market for That Metal.
The owners Of the lead-zinc mining
claims in Eureka County will be in
terested in knowing that the demand
for zinc is steadily growing, and that
the new electromagnetic separator
offers a possible solution to the question
how to separate the metals found in
zinc ores.
The principal lead-zinc propositions
near Eureka are the claims belonging
to the estate of the late Thomas Wren,
and those of the Fletcher Bros. of Eu-
reka, Pete Carletti of Alpha and Scott
Jamison of Tonopah.
The Wren mines are located at Mount
Hope, about 25 miles north of Eureka.
A great amount of work has been done
on the property, which always promised
well. The ore, however, was "undesir-
able" at the shelters, and development
work was discontinued.
The Fletcher, Carletti & Jamison
claims are of recent discovery. They
are about 40 miles northwest of Eureka
and IL miles west of Alpha Station,
oil the Eureka & Palisade Railway.
They were located a few years ago, and
since that time considerable work has
been done. This Summer a tunnel was
run in the Snowbound and opened up
good prospects, and the new conditions
surrounding zinc propositions will be an
incentive to prosecute work on the
claims in the Spring.
The Mining and Scientific Press says:
1.-The zinc industry of the United States
has been wonderfully stimulated by the
large and constantly increasing de-
mands for that metal for use in the
cyanide process and in other industries.
In the face of a constantly increasing
production the price of zinc has adj
vanced, and this has still further stimu-
lated its output. Throughout the
Rocky Mountain region and the Pacific
Coast zinc ores occur in greater or less
amount in many places, but the larger
portion of zinc ores exists as sulphide,
and is combined with the sulphides of
iron. copper and lead. These ores,
where the several sulphides occur in
finely disseminated crystals, intimately
intermixed, were, up to a short time
ago, undesirable, as the zinc was not
wanted by the lead smelter, and the
lead and iron were not wanted by the
zinc smelter.
The electro magnetic separator, how
ever, has made a clean separation of
these several sulphides possible, and as
a result the waste dumps of several'dis'
tricts suddenly became valuable for
their zinc, lead and copper contents,
besides at once rendering profitable a
large volume of ore in place in the
mines. Under the new conditions and
the stimulus given the output of zinc
by the demand for it, that metal has
become an important factor in the min.
eral output of several Western mining
sections. Colorado and Utah have
greatly increased their zinc output. and
in British Columbia zinc has become a
noted feature of its mineral production.
In nearly all cases the zinc ores are
shipped hundred of miles to smelters
for treatment, indicating that this class
of ores will pear a long-distance trans
p~ortation charge and a comparatively
high reduction charge and still afford a
profit.
