Charles M. Schwah, the mining
magnate and steel king, has been
examining the mines of the Buntrog I
district in which he is interested /
personally.
The foreign visible supply OF cop
per on the 18th, as reported from
Boston, was II, 1908 tons, decrease
of !, 35s tons during the first halt
of the month.
There is much excitement in
Carlin, Nevada, over the discovery
of rich placer gold in the Lynn dis
trict, twenty five miles from there,
and a phenomenal rush is on.
The report Of John d. Ryan, pres
ident of the Anaconda Copper min
ing company, submitted to stock
holders, shows that the corporation
for the year that ended December
81, 1906, earned a profit of IS, 542,
900.
The record Of ore production of
the mines OF Park City for the week
just ended is as follows: DAILY
Judge, 1920, 600; Silver King, -
l19, 700; DAILY West, HOO, 600; on
tario, 324, 600 Total tonnage, g.,
6sl, 700.
The old camp of Sprucemont, Ne
vada, whose mines have been
worked for more than a third OF a
century with profit to their owners,
but has lain dormant the past two
years, is again in the list Of produce
ing camps.
Within the last few months the
Duck Creek lead section of White
Pine county, Nevada, has presented
such an attractive opening for the
prospector that hardly an inch of
unoccupied ground remains for those
who are to come.
April copper production of the
United States, Canada and Mexico
is estimated at 90, 567, 700 pounds,
against 102, 495,230 pounds in
March and IS, 2sS, 100 in February.
The April reduction is due largely
to labor troubles, notably in Ari-
iona.
With the breaking up of winter
weather, the Weimer Copper COM
pany, operating a splendid property
in Idaho, has commenced ship
ments. A car of ore shipped to Sal
Lake last week consisted OF forty
nine tons and the check called fol
the sum of 81, 9O5, 10.
The price of silver, like the price
of wheat, beef and wool, is factor
in the prosperity OF Nevada. The
advance in the metal from All cent:
per ounce, the lowest recorded, il
January, 1908 to II cents per ounce
1906, has instilled new life into TIT
old silver producing districts.
The Red Metals company, operat
ing within mile of Schurz, in tn
Walker Indian reservation country
Nevada, has had the first 100 fee
of its tunnel completed, the fac
now being i13 feet from the portal
A contract has just been awardel
for 200 feet tnore of tunneling.
The Beaver Carbonate minin
company has now placed its affair
in fine trim for big campaign O
development and mine making
New boilers, hosting machinery
pumps and all other things in tn
way of equipment have bee
purchased anda are now on the wa
to camp.
The market is short of spot cop
per and the probabilities are that
will be short for the remainder o
the year. Labor troubles in Arizon
have materially trimmed production
there, and there is nothing to indi
cate either Montana or Michigan
are going to overburden the marke
