Big Property Of Cumber-

Cum mberland Ely is holding an adj
mirable course steadily ahead in fur
therance of the development plans
originally made for its Veteran prop
erty In response the Veteran ap-
pears like a thing of life to have
caught the spirit of the operators
and to be stretching a few points to
show just how splendidly it can make
good in the development o. wonderful
by no manner of means low grade.
Lately there has been some very fine
ground worked in which is piling up
the dollar marks on ore assets OF the
company fast Ii Cumberland Ely
stockholders could come out in a
body and take a look at their hold
ings underground and then travel
about the other big mining camps
of the country on tour OF 1nspec-
ton, they would arrive at home at
the end of their trip in happy
frame of mind, and absolutely out
of the trading market so far as Of
fer of anything else in the copper
list in exchange for Cumberland Ely
might be concerned. They would be
free, too, from any worry as to the
future of their holdings of this issue,
if there may be worry eXtant and in
these kind of times worry is likely
to attach to any holding, even di-
rect output of the mint
In making for this impression
about Cumberland Ely the Veteran
plays a prominent part, which is ev-
cry day growing bigger. The shifts
employed on development are crowd
ing ahead in rapid manner, aided by
the enthusiasm which the great
worth of the mine and it's apparently
unlimited resources cannot but Gre
ate. More men are being added as
fast as the right kind appear. The
property is busy and in this respect
affords good cheer to the visitor that
may not be found every place else IN
the camp. In the big four compart-
ment shaft excellent headway is be-
ing made with the sinking. On the
railroad line reaching up to the prop
erty work is crowding right along.
In only little while ore trains
will be operating to the shaft site.
On the ore line construction the
contractors are crowding and being
crowded to the limit The call is for
the use of all of the 80 miles of
track as soon as it can possibly be
COMPLETED. Present outlook is that
it will be available within the time
set. expiring next month. At both
n 1rn
and wherever it is possible to make
room for one more the one more is
hustled for. Completion of the mine
end of the road building will be made
within time limit readily enough
from present outlook. If there is any
delay it will be at the smelter END,
where there is yet much work to be
done in bringing to completion the
big trestle work. the structural
steel erection men are being en-
Dloved there that the contractors can
handle safely. The coming of snow
and cold weather has in the last
week made for some difficulty in re-
tanning men because of the increased
danger and difficulty of the work.
However. there is still a big force
working away steadily and it is not
Anticipated that it will fall to such
number that it cannot be held up to
the possible maximum through new
recruits Offering for work from time
to time.
No change has yet come in the Or
ders which curtailed working forces
on Nevada Consolidated and there is
now nothing expected along that line
until the reduction division is ready
about the first of the year to take
ore for concentration. Meantime,
there is no need for work at Nevada
Consolidated. The property Is al
ready for business. Like lumber
land Ely it has worlds of ore ready
to put on the surface. 1t IS simply
a question of getting up full ste3m
in the power house and turning 10
production.
At McGill the first unit of the con-
centrator is under roof ana goou
progress being made with setting ol
the equipment. No curtallmeht ol
working forces has occurred iii con-
struction of this unit, all the men
being employed that room can DE
made for. Understanding continues
that this will continue until the 3ot
is finished. At the smelter and othei
construction work about the grea'
nlant work is also going ahead
though the forces have been much re-
duced. in conformity with policy an
nounced some time ago as result OF
uncertainty in regard to the copper
metal situation. 1t now looks as Il
this situation might clear in very sat
isfactory manner within short time
in which event there is no doubt Du'
rush orders would again speedli!
prevail in connection with all work
Sure it is, at any rate, that Cumber
land Ely and Nevada Consolidated
can go to putting ore through the
first unit of the concentrator very
