mendous quantity of ore, as in the Ely
mines, the owners wish to make every
hour count, as even with the utmost
speed they will grow gray before see
ing even a small per cent of the copper
ore mined.
In the mines of the Nevada Consoli
dated Copper company there is now
moro than $3.50, 10000 worth of copper
ore developed and ready to be scooped
up with the steam shovels and sent
to the smelter at McGill s as soon as
it is completed. In the Eureka No. .
mine there are $4,000, 900 tons of ore
blocked out, and in the Ruth mine TO-
100000. Even if the ore is mined as
fast as the smelter-which is to be the
largest in the world--can handle it,
years will pass before the mass now
in sight will be removed.
But the ore in sight is only small
part of the mineral deposit in the Ne
vada Consolidated ground. 1t repre-
sents the result of the exploration of
only 5 per cent of the company S prop
erty. Every day work of the crew
of miners engaged upon the work of
development adds to these figures.
Judging from the results up to the
present, there is sufficient ore in the
holdings of this company to last sew
eral generations of men, producing
steadily sufficient ore to test the daily
capacity of the McGill smelter.
The Nevada Consolidated was incor-
porated with capitalization of &c.
SOC, 900, which is less than 9 per cent
of the value of its developed property.
If all of its mining property is as pro-
ductive as the per cent that has been
explored, the company s holdings are

company, owning possibly five billions

of its greatest wonders.

ore trains are waiting they will be
automatically dumped. To keep the big
smelter going, it will require at least
five daily trains of thirty cars. each.
But as the Cumberland Ely Copper com
pany has an interest in the smelter, it
will doubtless claim the privilege of
using half of its capacity. If this hap
pens, the Nevada Consolidated will be
able to send only 5000 tons daily for
smelling, and at that rate the COM
pany's ore would last so long after all
of us are dead that it S not worth
while reckoning the time.
More smelters in the district, how
ever, are absolute certainties. The big
companies that are now erecting the
smelter at McGill s will probably COM
mence work upon another as soon as
the present plant is completed, and

that the Nevada Consolidated and the
Cumberland Ely will produce ore which

ore deposit has well defined outcrop,
and its continuity is plainly shown.
At that point has been developed the
principal ore body of the Nevada Con-
solidated Copper company.
''It is reasonable to suppose that sew
eral similar ore bodies extend through
out the entire length of our property,
and that under ordinary conditions
they can be proftably worked. The
Alpha vein property has its highest ele-
walton at the westerly end, sloping
gradually to the east to what is known
as the Copper Flat. Adjoining the por-
phyry dixie at the upper end of the
property and extending along the same
for a distance of about 5000 feet, is
large quartz vein, having width
of about 1000 feet, between the por-
phyry and limestone formation, which
is Independent of the porphyry dixie,
and which we call the Alpha vein.
Midway along the strike of this vein
and at point about 200 feet north
of the southerly contact with the lime
stone formatielo hhnAta,p efetis, Spotx
stone formation, the Alpha shaft has
been sunk vertically. It has reached
a depth of zoos feet, and cross-cuts
have been run in the leached zone
from the 500-foot, 600-foot and 700
foot levels of the shaft Two of these

porphyry ore at the eastern end of the
property. 1t contains less silica, and
has heavy iron content, carrying cop
per and iron sulphides and oxides of
copper. The copper content will
range from to per cent. The
ground has not been measured up, but
there are many thousands of tons Of
this ore.
"The ores in the Morris, Brooks and
Bunker Hill shafts contain less iron,
and the copper occurs in the form of
chalcocite. These ores are highly
silicious and will have to be concen-
trated before smelling. The material
is soft and easily mined, and can be
readily concentrated in the ratio Of
about ten tons Of crude ore into one
ton of concentrate. The Morris ores
also carry gold ranging from 81 per
ton to So per ton, the gold content in
ereasing as the Alpha vein is APP
preached. The Morris and Brooks
shafts will soon reach the 3o0-foot
level, and drifts will be run in the ore
body at this depth in the same manner
as at the 200-foot level. In the pres
emit workings the pay ore has an
average. width of about 140 feet. On
the surface the ore body is about 800
feet in width, and is barren because
of its oxidization. Below the leached
zone, at depth of from sixty to
100 feet, the valuable ore is en-

level drifts and cross-cuts have been
run in the porphyry ore in the direc-
ton of the Giroux shaft, requiring
but 500 feet more of drift to connect
with the 30o-foot level of the Giroux
shaft, while to the east the drift is
being extended to connect with the
Brooks shaft. The Brooks shaft is
sunk also in the porphyry at dis
lance of 1900 feet from the Morris
shaft. The east drift at the 200-foot
level from The Morris shaft has been
run distance of 365 feet and at the
same level west drift from the
Brooks shaft has been driven ASS feet,
leaving only $50 feet to connect these
two shafts on the same level. To the
east of the Brooks shaft, distance
of 500 feet, the Bunker Hill shaft has
been sunk to the 200foot level of the
Brooks and Morris shafts, and at this
level the Brooks shaft and the Bunk
err Hill shaft. have been connected,
showing a continuous ore body for the
entire distance. Thus, the westerly
end of the property has been explored
for distance of practically 1000 feet,
with ore showing 1900 feet beyond in
the workings of the Cumberland Ely
property. From the Bunker Hill shaft

High up IN the mountains, eight
miles above Ely, at Pilot Knob, is the
home of the Giroux Consolidated Mines
company, embracing territory that
includes the entire westerly sweep of
the horizon as the traveller approaches
from below. The accompanying pho
tograph conveys some idea of the outer
works at the mines.
Joseph L. Giroux, the moving spirit
in this company. left the employ of
Senator W. A. Clark to give his at
tention to the copper mines here which
he had incorporated in a company bear
ing his name. He is a man who works
quietly withholding his confidence
from even those who might be expected
to share it, and only at stated inter
walls is information to be had in detail
respecting development at the Giroux
mine. Nevertheless, there is great &C.
tivity at Pilot Knob; ore is coming
out of half a dozen shafts all the time,
and ground is now being broken for a
smelter and concentration. Some of the
workings of this company adjoin the
Veteran mine of the CumberlandEly
Copper company.
In recent report, covering the Pc
Rod to October %, 1906, Mr.. Giroux
says:

ploratory work and ore developments,
which have, in a great degree, deter
mined the character and extent of the
great Ely copper deposit. The COM
pany's holdings at Ely consist of
compact group of SO claims, or approx
imately 1850 acres. The property is
two miles in length, and from 1000 to
5000 feet in width. For its full length
it extends along the outcrop of the
silicious porphyry dixie, in which are
developed the principal ore bodies of
the district. Many shafts have been
sunk and other surface workings per-
formed to outline these deposits. Five
of these have become permanent work
ing shafts. The Giroux shaft on the
Old Glory claim near the west end of
the property has reached depth of
$50 feet; and from this levels have
been driven $50 feet in each direction.
This vein extends east and west, and
is believed to be the same ore body
which has recently been opened up by
the workings of the Cumberland Ely
near the west end line, distance of
1900 feet from the workings of the
Giroux shaft.
Zone thousand one hundred feet east
of the Giiroux shaft the Morris shaft
has been sunk in the porphyry to the
depth of 275 feet. At the 200-foot

cross-cuts have reached the wall rock,
which is limestone, and have proved
to my satisfaction that the south is a
hanging wall, dipping 6s degrees to
the south; moreover, that it is a true
wall, and that the quartz vein is a
true vein lying between the limestone
and porphyry. In the cross-cue from
the 500-foot station in the Alpha shaft
we opened body of very high grade
sulphide ore of small extent. 1t has
been shown by these workings that the
Alpha vein is overlain by the lime
stone, and in turn overlies the great
porphyry dixie in which are found the
concentrating ore of the Morris, Brooks
and Bunker Hill workings.
81 think that without any question
the Alpha vel nhas been the source of
copper in the porphyry; that, as is
clearly shown in the leached vein
filling, it was originally sulphide ore
in a quartz gangue; that it was
robbed of its values by descending
waters, which passed, to a great extent,
at least, into the porphyry, and there
deposited copper with silica. The
Alpha vein reached the water level at
depth of 1905 feet. At this point it
was still in the iron gossan. The ore
developed in the Giroux shaft is some.

the system in an ordinary mine, with
which most persons are familiar. But
the old way is too slow and too ex-
pensive for this camp.
In the big mines that have been de-
veloped, arrangements have been made
for the adoption of the caving system
and the use of steam shovels in scoop
ing the masses of ore into cars. This
process will tear out the entrails of

eve have now reached the point
where the construction of a milling
plant is necessity, and I recommend
that we proceed with the construction
of a concentrating plant having an
ultimate capacity Of 1000 tons per day.
The treatment of 500 tons of ore per
day at, an estimated ratio of l0:l,
with an approximate saving of conccn-
value ALI Of 80 per cent in copper iD'q and
$40 in gold per ton, making the proper
allowance for fuel and f1uxes, the
present smelter would accommodate
about 140 tons of crude ore, in add.
ton to the forty tons of concentrates,
which, after allowing for losses in
smelling, would show yield of about
10000 pounds of copepr per day.
"Taking into consideration the grade
Of the concentrates and the economy
with which the ores can be smelted, in
connection with the concentrates,
do not think the cost Of production will
exceed 10 cents per pound of copper
produced. 1t is entirely practicable TO
bring the water from Steptoe valley,
nine miles distant, to the mine, and per;
haps more economical than to haul
ore to the Steptoe valley for trestl
ment. In the Steptoe valley. at an
