TREMENDOUS ORE BODIES

level in the Ludwig property. The gen.

called attention to the fact that at this
point they had encountered a few days
previous a body of black oxide of copper,
which they had followed along the
strike of the vein for 80 feet. and. In
order to determine its width. had cross
cut, showing it to be 27 feet in width at
the point of the crosscut. The ore taken
out In running the level was shipped to
the smelter and gave returns of 35 per
cent copper for the shipment. or course
we do not know as yet the extent of this
body of ore. We do not know
it's length along the strike of
the vein, neither do we know its extent
up and down the dip of the vein, but
~supposing it's depth Is Zoe feet. that is.
so feet above and SO feet below the place
encountered. we would have the follow
ing figures: 35 per cent ore is 700
pounds copper to the ton; 3ox27x100
feet equals 81. 900 cubic feet. Allowing
10 cubic feet to the ton. We have $500
tons of ore running 700 pounds To the
ION. making a total of $4,000 pounds.
Allowing Is cents a pound for this gives
5 $500"
Upon the arrival of the new pump,
which is expected at any time now. the
Ludwig incline will be continued to the
s5O-foot level. Mr.. Orem states that the
new compressor is working nicely and
affairs at the mine are running along

An important uncovering OF mineral
has been made on the Nellie b. prop
erty in Echo canyon. in the south end
of the Lee-Echo mining section, owned
by G. w. Paymal and w. A.. Bradshaw.
The Nellie b. is one of the best known
properties in camp and has already won
merited publicity by numerous finds OF
rich ore, but the latest IL said to be one
of the best surface showings ever made
and goes to prove the old theory that all
the good things in Lee have not yet been
found.
At a point 200 feet from the old work
ings on the Nellie B. claim. a shallow
hole has been sunk. perhaps five feet
deep. and in the bottom there Is exposed
an eight-inch streak of ore that If APP
parently of a shipping grade. The ore
is a silver-lead. showing galena and lead
c~arbonates. and carrying gold. Big
punches of almost solid galena are
taken out, which ore is shipping stun.

speaking of the proposition. said that
the only reason they had not FOUND the
ore before is because the outcroppfng of
the galena so closely resembles the
weathered quartzite that the outcrop
had been passed up as country rock. It
is almost impossible to see any differ
ence at first glance. but with a knock of
the pick one breaks into the fine ore. and
thus the vein has been followed as in
dicated.
Everything points to a big lead de-
posit underlying these values. from the
fact that tho gold ore. opened at the
south end of the claim for 35 feet on the
vein and exposing a width Of six and
one-half feet of values, carries lead car

BUILDING OF CLARK
SHELTER AT LAS VEGAS

him to the banqueters in Goldheld. and
the statements made by the senator to a
reporter for the Bullfrog Miner Many
other things go to show that the Mon
tana millionaire intends to build a
smelter plant. independent of the trust.
Such an enterprise could not be
launched by n men. singly and alone.
Senate Clark, whose net monthly in
come is said to be 81, 500, 900. would be
abundantly able to swing the gigantic
enterprise.
A point Of secondary Importance is
the location of the Clark smelter. There
is some talk of 1t being located in Reno.
II Clark builds the plant. however. 1t Is
safe to say that Reno will not be Sc
lected as the site. as this location would
practically cut the Clark system of rail-
roads u Of the tonnage. which is nat
urally the propelling motive of the en-
terprise. Reports ave been persistent
that the smelter would be located at
Beatty. but, much as the Bullfrog would
like to see the plant built in this dis
trict, it is very doubtful II this Is done.
Without absolutely knowing. the
Miner predicts that the Clark smelter,
If built. will be located at Las Vegas.
This prediction is made after reading
between the lines of Senator Clark's
speeches and talks, and after contem-
plating the advantages from the Clark
standpoint that Las Vegas offers. The
silicious ores of Bullfrog and the whole
Southern Nevada country and the fux-
ing ores of Phoebe and other camps in
that section would be within easy each
of Las Vegas. But the most important
item to Senator Clark Is the fact that
his railroad would practically get all
the tonnage from these sections to Las
Vegas.

The activity in mining at Austin CON-
tinues ~unabated and fear of panics and
present depression can not stem the tide
of the go-ahead productiveness of each
and every property now working. Values
speak and the ores now being brought
to the surface ready for shipment are
the criterion of the conservative and
progressive operator. DE profundis:
That is tffeir motto, and in their future
work they will prove whether or on the
value play out with depth.
If the views of leading mining ex-
perts are correct, the ore bodies I'm the
Reese River mining district go SO deep
that the only hin to cause the cessa-
ton of working of the same. will be the
extreme cost Of hosting. BY hat they
mean that there are on end to the ore
bodies.
Austin today is on the eve Of a min
ing boom such as is rarely known to a
has-been camp. Why? Because the
men have come here and invested
their money from a business standpoint.
not a speculative one. In closing all
late deals there has been an absence OF
yellow leggings and khaki suits.
The men employed on the Wholey
property are now nearly through the Dig
cave, and in another ten days will be at
the bottom of the shaft which is 321 feet
deep. Then the ore from the Union vein
will be mined and brought to the sur
face. A large hoisting engine has been
purchased for the property and the pres
ent within will soon be superseded. There
Is plenty of shipping ore in the drifts
at the obttom of this property. as will
be demonstrated by future operations
The controlling interest in the Austin
Gold Mining company has been secured
by one of our leading citizens. from n.
L. Fillmore. Plans are now in progress
to work this property to a great depth.
Miners are now working on shipping ore
in this property and when, the smelter
returns are furnished, will make glad
the heart and purse of the man-behind-
the-gun. This is an exceptional prop
erty and is destined to be one OF the
most valuable in the camp. New blood

The operators of Goldfleld, Bulifrog
and other camps of Nevada are alive to
the fact that they have been and are be-
ing imposed upon by the smelter trust.
and they are taking vigorous steps to
correct the abuses from which they are
suffering, says the Bullfrog Miner.
Strong appeals will be made to congress.
and the arm of the federal law will be
invoked to prevent the trust from dis
eliminating against Nevada.
Whether or not the appeal for con-
gressional help will be effective, II is
hard to say. If we were to venture a
guess, however. 1t would be that no re-
lief that one could notice would come
from this source. Congressman Bartlett
is going to make a fight In congress
against the trust, on behalf of the min
ing interests of Nevada, and the Miner
wishes the energetic little representa-
tive a heartfelt Godspeed in his enorts'
but the battle, even with the chief ex-
~ecutive on the side of the people. will be
a hard one and long-drawn-out, and i'm
mediate relief may not be looked for
from this source
Though it is proper that congress
should call the smelter trust to account
and SO legislate as to make the smelters
treat people fairly in the future, the
quickest road to relief for the time be-
ing is in the construction of independent
shelters. That an independent smelter
for the treatment of Nevada ores Will be
built in the near future is more than a
probability. Tha Senator w. A Clark
will build the smelter is also more than
a probability. These remarks are based
upon many recent reports and develop
ments: the talk of a smelter at Beatty;
the recent visit of Senator clark TO
Southern Nevada; the speech made by

RACKERJACK BONANZA HAS

A ledge that will rival In size and

been opened up IN the north drift OF the

There Is a seam OF very rich ore on
the foot wall of the ledge. that shows

specimen was taken out In the form Of
a slab of gold and quarts. seven inches

The new ore body In In the Owl
