Among other distinguished mining
men who visited GoldheId recently
were Leon NJ. Hall, w. e. Hewett, Cap
tain John Leal and w. G. Marrow, all
of San Francisco. The party has been
visiting III southern camps for the
first time, toruing in an automobile.
L. NJ. Hall is consulting mining en-
gineer for the great Comstock COM
panies, and superintendent of the Com
stock Pumping association, a co-opera-
tive scheme for draining the entire Com
stock lode. w. G. Marrow is president
of several of the Comstock companies;
w. Z. Hewett represents the Com
pressed Air Machinery company, and
captain John Leale is one of the best
known captains at San Francisco port,
having been captain of the ferry boat
Newark for years. He is interested
with the others in Comstock mining.
The party spent several days in Bull
frog and Tonopah, arriving here Tues
day for a short stay, visiting the Flor
ence and one or two other mines, Of
which they rave glowing accounts In
fact they were greatly impressed with
all the camps visited, and will return
to Goldfeld. probably within the next
ten days, with the expectation of max
ing some Investments.
The comstock Situation
l.. NJ. Hall of the party, talked inter-
estingly of the Comstock situations:
I'VE are retaining the great Com
stock lode" said Mr.. Hall, and believe
that 1t has still a great future. Mod
ern methods and modern machinery will
put the famous lode again on a very
profitable basis. The Comstock lode is
three miles long and 33 companies are
operating upon it. These companies
have produced in times gone by an ag-
gregate of $3.50, 900, 900, and then had to
abandon the mines with plenty of ore
in sight, because the lower workings
were flooded n the water could not be
kept down without such enormous ex-
pense as to make the ore product un-
profitable. Until recently the last work
done in the lower workings of the mines
was in 1886, although there has been
more or less prospecting and shipping
in the upper workings above the Sutro
tunnel ever since.
AT the time the Comstock lode was
abandoned in it's lower workings, it
was costing the allied companies $780,
UOO per montH 10 keep their Workings
clear of water. This was a sub
al flow entirely, and was very
hot, being 160 degrees Fahrenheit,
which made the process of handling it
all the more difficult. The best known
pumps at that time-the Cornish
were in use, but they could not handle
the flow successfully, so the great
ledge which had made the millions of
Fair, Mackey, Flood and others was
practically abandoned, although there
was ore everywhere in the lower work
ings at the time.

although sinking is now being prose
cuted with three shifts and with all
the energy that money. brains and as
sured success will inspire. At the
3.100-foot station will be installed the
largest pumps known to the mining
industry, capable OF lifting $500 gallons
per minute, the distance of 1850 feet.
To operate these pumps will require
two S00-horse power electric motors.
There is now in operation 3 Reidler
pumps capable of lifting $500 gallons
500 feet per minute. The water is raised
to the Sutro tunnel. and by it drained.
By the use of these enormous pumps of
modern make, and operated by electric
ity, it will be possible to keep the great
lode drained at the depth of 5000 feet
at the cost of $4,000 per month, or one
tenth the former cost at not more than
half the depth.
In the process of sinking to the
3,000-foot point, no drifting or stopping
has been done TO speak of. but ore has
been encountered at every depth. The
only ore that is being mined is from
the famous ophir mine. s16O ore being
shipped in quantities of about two car
loads per week. These ores are sui
phides, much resembling the ores of
the Montana-Tonopah. of the great
Southern Nevada camp.
Successful Cooperation
Work along the great Comstock
ledge is being lone upon the most adj
vanced cooperative plan. The presi-
dents of the 33 companies on the ledge
form a power. lighting and pumping as
ISOLATION, and the work of draining the
ledge is done under a concerted plan. in
the expenses of which al companies
participate prop~ortionately. There is
another group of companies in the mid
die of the lode, and where the flow is
the heaviest, which compose an addi-
tional association now as the Ward
Shaft association. This association has
heavier expenses than the other COM
panies, but a proportionate share of
their pumping expenses is paid by the
general association, as the Ward pump
ing operations are of benefit to all
properties along the Comstock lode.
Cooperation is worked out to a
nicely in Comstock mining. and to the
i-mmeasureable profit of all concerned.
