fine COPPER ORE
CLOSE TO Wells
SALT LAKERS UNCOVER RICH
LEDGES IN SALMON RIVER
DISTRICT

Officials of the Nevada Contact
Copper Company are displaying sam
pies of fine copper ore from their
property in the Salmon river district
in Elko county, Nevada, forty miles
from Wells, on the Southern Pacific
Railroad. These picked samples as
say as high as % per cent in copper,
and it is said that the average of the
vein from which they are taken is
about II or IA per cent in the he'd
metal.
The company, which was recently
formed by prominent business men
Of Salt Lake, owns 100. acres of
ground in which are three well-de-
fined lodges. The development con-
sists of a forty-foot shaft sunk in the
granite footwall of a four-foot ledge
the ledge forming the hanging-wall
on the shaft. This ledge can be
traced for a distance of 1000 feet,
and 1t is the ledge from which the
samples were taken.
D. Lemon, superintendent of the
Southport Mining Company recently
made a report on property in the
Salmon River district in which he
expressed surprise ''that the merits
of the camp have been so long over
looked. The present competition in
railroad circles" he continued, gives
warrant to the belief that with sys-
tematic development the camp could
be brought to such a stage of produc-
ton as would make it desirable to
connect with the main line, either at
Wells or Twin Falls.
THE formation of the district con-
sists of a granite footwall in contact
with white lime, the latter being cap
ped with a stratum of blue lime. In
appearance the contact somewhat re-
sembles a horseshoe the outer prongs
of which diverge slightly.
THE vein system consists of
quartz gangue in the bedding be-
tween the granite and white lime,
and parallel veins in the lines; also
of quartz and p%orphyry assures in
the granite. The contact veins vary
in range from 4 to 100 feet in width,
the ore streaks being disseminated
through these bikes.
THE ore occurs apparently in
shoots along the contact while SINH
lar conditions prevail in the assures.
Such depth as has been attained in
these veins demonstrates their
strength and continuity"

Nevada COPPER
QUEEN COMPANY

John Matthews. v~ice-president of
the Nevada Copper Queen Company.
who resides at Colorado Springs,
John Hobbs, a successful mining OPP
orator in Mexico and Colorado. H.
NJ. Todd. a Colorado geologist and
mineralogist, n Mr.. Riley. a New
York business man, paid this camp
a visit this week and visited the Ne
vada Queen property and other pros
poets in the district. They were all
than favorably impressed with
what they saw. and those of the Wis
itors who are not yet interested here
will be soon, undoubtedly.
At the Nevada Copper Queen the
showing for a great property is bet
ter with each days work Of develop
ment. Under the management Of
D. F. Murphy there are " shafts
being sun kon this property and they
are now down about 100 feet on the
ledge, showing good ore in bunch
and indications of permanent forma-
ton with greater depth. The ore
encountered runs from Z to 10 per
cent value. Two whims are used in
sinking, but al soon as the Truckee
River Company gets its line com
pleted to Yerington a couple of cleo
trio hoists will be Installed. The
shafts will be dropped to a depth of
500 or 500 feet then and the ground
exploited by crosscuts. This COM
pany has something over $40 acres
of ground, and on the surface nine
teen distinct veins have been opened
up, which show good values in the
red metal. 1t is confidently expected
that many more veins will be dis.
covered when the snow goes of and
surface work a be done. The veins
are in a granite, porphyry and lime
formation, and altogether a very
promising outlook Is ahead Of the
company. The company has a good
big boarding house. nice office and
stables on the ground; also a car,
load of lumber on the ground and
another at Wabuska. Arrangements
are also being made to bore for ar
tesian water, which 1t is believed can
be obtained at a depth of less than
500 feet; water will be obtained in
any event sufficient for household
purposes. From fifteen to eighteen
men are 10Y employed on the prop
erty and more will be put on as soon
as DON can be made for them.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BRIGHT OUTLOOK
INDICATIONS ARE THAT BIG RE.
SUITS WILL SOON BE
OBTAINED.

The work on the Boston-Tonopah,
which was started the early part Of
last month, is progressing rapidly
and the most encouraging indica-
tions are being continually encoun-
tered. At present the work is being
devoted to prosecuting on the 500
foot level. The operations are now
in lode porphry. Numerous string
ers carrying values are being con
tinually cut. The cutting has just
gone through a hard rib or bar rock
is a perfect indication of the forma-
ton being in place. The crosscut
is now $40 feet out from the shaft
and will be continued to the 500
foot point, where it will cut several
veins that show on the surface. AS
soon as the fuel situation is relieved
sinking to the S00-foot level will be
started and a second crosscut run,
two ways, northeast and southwest.
The Boston-Tonopah is looked upon
as being most favorably located. Adj
joining as it does the Belmont, North
Star and Mizpah Extension. The
property, which comprises seven
claims, is owned by Wingfeld, Nixon,
Fenwick, Hennessy and Mccain
bridge. The owners have the utmost
confidence in the property and are
daily looking for big results. So far
everything is most favorable to an
early realization of their fond hopes.
The work will go on without cessa-
ton and in a most methodical man
ner. One of the finest plants is on
the ground and every facility is at
hand to asst in the quick develop
ment of the property. The work is
being done under the supervision of
McCambridge. the pioneer superin-
tendent. He Is noted as an ore get
ter and has always been successful
In all his ventures. At this time
the prospects of teh company are ex-
c~eedingly bright and 1t looks as

AN INTERESTING
WALKER LETTER
OLD PROSPECTOR WRITES OF
DOINGS AT NEW
SECTION.


A most interesting letter from Dry
Creek district in the Walker Lake
reservation, has just been received
from r. B. Forrest, who is operating
in that section. Mr.. Forrest is a
well known pr%ospector, having Wis
tied all the scenes of excitement in
the southern country, including Bull
frog, Tonopah and Goldield. At one
time he was employed as a miner
on the famous Mohawk ground as
well as in several Tonopah mines.
He writes:
From my personal examination
of the claims and the mining district
in general | consider. that there Is a
splendid future for this camp. Mr..
Thomas Haley Of Columbia and Gold
field and T. X. Gregory of Round
Mountain fame and myself have some
splendid showings on a group of
claims on the south fork of Dry
Greek and in their latest develop
ment have discovered an old blown
up working. At the mouth of this
old working have been uncovered a
twelve-foot ledge that pans free gold.
Mr.. Gregory left here recently with
samples to be assayed and we ex-
pect big results from them. The be-
lief is current here that we have
found the old Indian Johnnie tunnel
that the old timers knew to be in
Dry Creek, which in the early DAYS
was known as Wild Horse canyon

McDONALD-ELY

Manager D. c. Mcdonald. Of the
Mechanically Company, has for

stockholders Of the company. and for
those who are interested in one of
Ely's strongest companies It contains
significant information.
Manager Mcdonald reports that
the management has driven through
over twenty feet Of formation carry
Ing high values of ore, and that cop-
per sulphides averaging in'the neigh
borhood of five per cent are begin
ming to make their appearance in a
generous fashion.
from the preponderance of the ore
encountered in the workings the
management expects that the copper
ore body when tapped will not only
be rich in the red metal, but will be
extensive as well.
That the present conditions are
gratifying to Mr.. Mcdonald is evil
denced by the fact that he is making
preparations to sink a winze from
the point near the present face Of
the tunnel. 1t is his opinion that
the copper values now in sight will
increase with depth. In the mean
time the tunnel will be continued
along its course without Interrupt

CLARK AND GUGGENHEM
Predict Good Outlook for Copper
This Year

IIthiNa NoOu OutioOh iuf copper
This Year
Senator William A. Clark and Da-
MEL ~Guggenheim have been inter
viewed on the outlook for the copper
metal during the present year. Each
makes statements that will be read
with interest here, where copper is
the chief theme in mining circles.
Senator Clark is quoted as saying:
THE figures for 1906 will show an
increase in copper production OF
probably less than four per cent. The
average price will probably be in the
neighborhood of 19 IA cents.
The beginning Of the new year
has found the copper markets nearly
bare of the metal beyond the ordl-
nary necessary stocks, and there Is
little prospect in the near future of
any material decrease in the demand.
THE work of electrifying the
steam railroads of the country is pro-
crossing faster than anticipated, and
here alone a new and vastly grow
ing market for copper. Substitutes
have been found unsatisfactory.
ct is quite probable that we will
not see copper below a minimum Of
Fl cents per pound during the year
1907"
Daniel Guggenheim does not look
For more than the ordinary increase
in production this year and talks OBJ
timistically. as follows:
Several years ago It was predicted
that { minimum would certainly take
the place of copper should lot price
materially exceed Is cents Der
pound. This now proves to have
been a delusion. The production OF
copper is constantly increasing. but
IS yet the increase does not equa.
tie increased demand.
THE only hope for increased pro-
d1ction lies in the discovery and de-
velopment of new properties. Tho
wonderful discoveries Of copper ore
in Nevada were made three years
ago. Several properties whtca VIII
be large producers fr time have been
in constant process of development
and reduction works are now plan
red, but 1t will be some time yet be-
fore any considerable production Of
fine copper is derived from those
sources.
1T is not wise to expect an In
crease in the output for 1907 greater
than the percentage of Increase that
has been established during the past
few years.
For 1906 the United State, FRO
duction will aggregate 75,000,e 600
pounds, an increase of only about 4
per cent owe 1906, which
with an increase Of 10 per cent in
1906 over 1904. For 1906 the Ca
madam production will aggregate
about the same as 1905, and Mexico
will probably show a slight falling
off. The chief increase in production
In 1906 came from Utah and Califor
mia. Montana shows a reduction in
output for 1906"
