WILL HANDLE LOW GRADE ORE

The great increase in the production
of copper, which has put Mexico among
the chief producers of this metal, is
due to the properties in the state OF
Sonora and particularly in the district
of Cananea, notes a Cananea (Mexican
correspondent The greatest mine at,
this camp is the Greene Consolidated
Copper company. In eight years this
company has grown from nothing to
be one of the greatest works of its kind
in existence, and it is now adding to
the worlds wealth Of copper at tho
rate of $10,000,00O gold per annum. This
is Notwithstanding the fact that three
fourths of it's ore is of second grade
and has to be concentrated. Develop
ment has been carried on beyond the
ability of the surface equipment to
handle the tonnage, but this is being
rapidly brought to meet the re-
quirements; the caving system is being
introduced IN the mines; an elaborate
system of underground and surface
roads and ways, with electric traction.
between the mines and mills has been
installed; the concentrators have been
increased by 1000 tons and brought UP
to daily capacity of $500 tons; an ex-
tensive system of belt conveyers, for
bedding the ores and feeding the fur
naces from the beds, is about ready
to be put into operation; the fines and
flue dust are being sintered by a patent
process to relieve the work of the
blast furnaces, and the eight blast fur
naces now in commission are being re-
placed by larger furnaces, 5Ox180 inches.
at the tuyeres, and with automatic
feed; so that 1907 should see the present
production of 100000 pounds per month
greatly increased. 1t is said that the
company will be able prohtably to
handle ore running as low as per cent
copper by the new and enlarged plant,
with the practically automatic equip
ment which cuts down labor cost OF
handling.

TO BUILD BRANCH
ROAD INTO NEVADA

The Southern Pacific officials I'm New
York and Chicago have reached a de-
cision to build railroad eighty miles
long from Mojave in a northeasterly
direction into the owens river country.
The undertaking will cost about $2,600,-
900, and 1t is understood part of the ex-
pense is to be assumed by the city of
Los Angeles The construction of this
piece of road is needed by Los Angeles
to help 1t build it's new water system.
1t is to pipe water from the Owens
river country in Inyo county, and will,
In March next, vote on the question of
issuing bonds for that purpose. Con-
gress has given permission to carry out
the project.
The route of the road will be across
part of the Mojave desert and through
the Red Rock canyon. BY building this
branch line the Southern Pacific people
will form CUTOFF route into Southern
California from Hazen, station on the
Central Pacific in Nevada, east of
Reno. This eut-off will reach south
westerly from Hazen via Nina and Mo-
jaVe. In this state. Between Hazen and
SodaVille the road is a broad gauge
line. Between Sodaville and Keeler the
road, which is known as the Carson &
Colorado, is a narrow gauge line. The
new branch between MojaVe and
Keeler Is to be a broad gauge road,
Later on the Carson & Colorado win
be broad gquged.

THE COPPER FIELDS OF LuNlNe

Is there any limit to the mineral
wealth of Nevada? II seems not. First
from one part OF the state and then
from another hundreds of miles away,
comes the news of wonderful discoV-
cries of great richness, and in the short
space of q few weeks new camp has
sprung into prominence, with it's mines,
stores, saloons, ETC. The latest district
to attract widespread attention is the
Luning copper district, situated about
100 miles northwest of Goldfield, where
extensive copper deposits of wonder
full extent and richness have been dis
covered. Adding to the great value OF
this district is the fact that it lies but
four miles from the railroad. Across
three and half miles of desert, as level
as ballroom floor. begin the terrace
hills which rise tier on tier till they
reach the snowcapped mountains be-
yond At this point the range of noun
tains is parallel to the railroad. Under
the first low-lylng hills repose the great
deposits of copper ore, cropping through
the lime formation in hundreds OF
places.
Geological Structure
The formation of the country rock
in this immediate neighborhood con-
sists of several varieties, viz, porphyry
andesite, lime and granite, which are
very readily distinguished. These con-
sist of flows, breccias, derived tufts ana
accumulation. These volcanics are be-
lieved to be of tertiary age, repro
senting successive flows with inter"
vening breccia and erosion intervals
The confusion of these volcanic erul-
tions has not yet been clearly made
out at the present time. However,
granite predominates, the lime forming
a contact with the granite. ore bodies
occurring in the lime and can be traced
along this contact for long distances
without losing sight of the vein. The
strike of the formation is from north
to south, veins dipping to the east ut
about fifty degrees. From all surface
Indications and from the amount oil
development work done 1t seems that
these veins would. be permanent to
degree. In the dolomite lime the ledges
and outcroppings are more distinct than
in any district of the state Prospects
shafts sunk but few feet in number
of places show ore assaying from to
rs per cent copper, with silver and gold
values. The district at present is a
veritable beehive, from the great
amount of development work being
done, and every indication points to its
soon becoming the copper center OF
Nevada. In no place In the state, not
excepting the great camp of ELY, do the
surface indications show such great
promise as in the Luning district.
Great copper mines which were worked
over thirty years ago when the ore was
transported by mule teams, but which
were subsequently closed down when
great depth was reached. are now being
reopened by the most modern ma
chinery and with unlimited capital
back of II. The great Parrott mine,
which has been lying idle for years, is
now being reopened with the most
modern methods. Goldheld capital at
present predominates In the Lunlne
fields. Among the recent heavy m-
vestors are w. f. Gray, G. r. Hannah,
J. Dougherty and A. E Boyce, and j,

ANGELES AND SALT LAKE

Now populous and the Hub Of
Highly Mlnerallzed
Belt

Las vegas, name spanish, meaning
"The plain, the valley" on account
of the amount and wholesomeness Of
its water Las Vegas became a we'll
known spot long, long ago. 1t is said
that Gen. Fremont came that way on
his discovery trip TO California. So
did the California argonaut if the sea-
son was advanced toward winter, in
order to avoid the snow dangers on the
northern trail The Mormons came
also as they Travelled between Salt
Lake City and Southern California,
over fifty years ago. Until the coming
of the railroad Las Vegas was as mac
cessible as any in the United States,
but Notwithstanding that fact mining
was carried on I'm slipshod way over
thirty years ago in the hills on all
sides-distant from ten to thirty miles.
Old abandoned shafts and cuts are
found here and there by the miner now
seeking new finds.
Mines to Multiply
No doubt exists as to the future maxi
ing of many mines in the hills but q
short distance away Gold, silver, lead,
zinc and other minerals are being
found and while only few claims are
shipping ore, dozens of others are be-
ing developed into shippers. No doubt
about Las Vegas becoming a mining
center
The town is in the center of fine,
level valley. twenty to thirty miles
wide, and more than a hundred miles
long. In this valley natural springs
abound here and there, thus rendering
| 1t certain that artesian water can be
! obtained, and n company has been
| formed to bore for water and the drill
| ing machinery is now on the ground
and at work. When artesian water
mas been demonstrated the lands sur
rounding Las Vegas will soon be under
cultivation and thousands of families
can be located in the valley. All kinds
of crops, fruits and vegetables can be
grown here, with possibly the excep-
ton of oranges and lemons
Climate Big Asset
The climate is the biggest asset of the
country. When the good qualities oi

Railway Division Point
The town is a division point on the
railroad and has already some twenty
miles of side tracks, a round house full
of workmen, and soon is to have ma
chine shops. More business is done
