! ELY WHITE PINE COUNTY,. NEVADA, THURSDAY. FEBR

local practical mining men are
unanimous in declaring the prop
critics good; butit would take a
Comstock in its palmiest days to
pay, under such, orders as. have
been sent out by boards OF dl-
rectors sitting in their eastern
offices directors who may all be
good business men in their re-
spective lines, bat know about as
much of mine infringement as a
prospector knows about railroad
ing.
The W West mine at Cherry
Gre "a gold proposition,
but successfullysmanaged. j. n,
Leishman, the superintendent, is
one Of the very few eastern min
ing men who has successfully man
aged WESTERN mine.' Superin-
tendents from the east have cast
ern ways which seldom take, or
produce satisfactory results when
put into practice in u western
mining enterprise. Mr. Leisll-
man is a pronounced exception.
He stands high in the county,
and the men under him do honest
work something that all man
agements do not get, irrespective
of wages paid.
The ore of every mine has pc
cuiiar characteristics, which can
only be learned by actual contact
with it, and not from technical
books on mining. The Nevada
Consolidated Copper Company
realizes this, and has in charge a
man who has worked on its
properties almost from the time
the first pick was struck in the
ground. Supt. Gray has filled
every position from "mpcker'
up, and knows the ms and outs of
EN- ployees S duty.
During all the several years he
has been in charge, not a surface
Improvement has been made that
was not absolutely necessary.
His sole object was to develop
the property, and now the com
pany has many thousands of tons
of copper. ore blocked out.
Taking no chance on determin-
ing the best method of reduction
from experiments made in lab
oratory, last year the company
erected an experimental plant at
the mine, running about ten tons
Of ore day through for a couple
of months. BY this small, but
yell large, TEST, q meUHOd HAS
been determined upon, which
will not bring ruin when the
thousand ton per-day works are
erected, which will be commenced
in the near future--probably this
summer.
Having decided upon the meth
cd, Mr.. Fleming has been sent
on this circuit through all the
mining camps in the western
states, to examine in person the
workings of the various makes Of
machinery.

A sMELTER TO BE BUILT;

examining the workings OF the
various makes of machinery FOR
the above company,
1t has too frequently been the
case where mllsand -nelters have
been cquipped WITH expensive
machinery, onl:H to ind, on. test
run, that the Qre requires ii dill
ferent process from that INSTALL
ed. There are d ,number OF
works scatiered over1hc hills in
this county monuments to the
short-sigliteduess Of Hhc'' direct
ors OF foreign companies"
A sufficient amount. of money
can always be raised To erect
plants when there is ore enough
in sight to justify the erection:
but raising money to develop q
mine on the strength of large
surface improvements is d diff
cult matter. The first blunder
usually made is spending all the
surplus funds of the company,
: all it can borrow, and then stand
!: off the employees 50 long as pos
8: sible to erect large surface i'm
. proyements and then go into
;: bankruptcy as the Grand De
Company at Aurum did; or
put it's property out of it's hands,
presumably for the purpose of
'*defrauding its creditors, as did
s>the Butterfeld Gold Mining &
'1'Milling Company at Osceola.
" The SECOND blunder often com
is installing process OF
N}raction other than the proper
Kind, to set the best returns
from the ore. Non resident
stockholders are SO anxious to
flush dividends that proper tests
are not made of the ore to ascer-
tain under which method bes re-
o. Suits can be obtained. The Chain

Some extent, fell into both of the
