through which the old road to Austin
ran in the early days, and the railroad
which is now being constructed to
carry the ores of the Nevada Console
GATED and Cumberland-Ely properties
runs through the holdings of the Fed
eral-Ely company.
The east end of the property owned
by the Federal-Ely Copper company
is capped by lime, and three parallel
assures 800 feet apart are shown.
These assures should properly be
called a crushed ore zone, as they are
each over 400 feet in width and all show
high values running in gold, silver and
, lead, with some copper. This great
lime bed pitches to the east and is
strongly undertake by the copper bear
ing porphyries.
The New Tunnel.
At the present time a tunnel is being
driven from the canyon to connect with
the shaft 1,500 feet farther west. The
shaft and tunnel will connect at depth
of 400 feet below the surface of the
ground. The shaft is being sunk near
the contact of the three ore zones. and
when connected with the tunnel will
give the outlet for the ores to the rail-
road which will pass within $50 feet of
the mouth of the tunnel.
1t is estimated by the engineers of
the Federal-Ely Copper company that
the above described tunnel will go into
The mineral-bearing porpbyry before
reaching the shaft as the contact
pitches towards the entrance TO the
tunnel.
Contracts have been let by the COM
pany for churn drilling on the south
zone, and also on the zone north of the
present workings. in OrdeTs to determine
the best place to crOss-cut from the
main or working tunnel.
In connection with the above con-
tract other contracts for hosting ma
chinery and other improvements have
been let and call for completion on or
before Feb. > 1907

bv Eir. Huesser, thiTty-four years ago
During the dry season of the year the
Federal-Eiy Copper company's water
supply. according to past accurate
measurements, will not be less than So
miners inches per second The acqui-
sitlon of this property also places the
company in position equaled only by
tho Nevada Consolidated. as the latter
company and the Federal-Ely control
all the water rights N the Steptoe val

To Build Mills.
IT is the compauy'S intention TO con-
Sti-tlct on its grounds such mills and
shelters is its own ore production de-
rna1@-. and possibly a custom mill Will
be built.
The Federal Ely Copper company will
lease water to all the mining COM
psnics in the vicinity who may need it.
Wafer Is an absolute necessity In the
Tlv district. as in order to mine sue
cessfultv i'm handling low-grade ores 10
nroit could be made unless water
coujd he obtained in abundance. This
water can be served by the Federal
Ely Copper company to any company
In its vicinity so that mining can be
prosecuted upon paying OASIS. IN
cidentalIv the water supply controlled
nv the Federal-Eily is so much larger
than any demand upon it would be
made. even during the dry season, that
II is not at all improbable that large
source of revenue Will be obtained by
the company through the sale of the
water.
