The Indians of the Mauritius dispose of
termites, or white ants, in this manner: When
they see their covered way approaching a
building, they drop train of syrup from this
way to the nearest nest of black ants The
first ones that see the syrup follow it up till
tbey reach the termite passage. They return
to their nest, and in a few hours black army
starts out for the white ant stronghold With

IN a short time entirely destroy the enemy;
and each one, ON its way home, carries a

ONE HUNDRED TONS A DAY

This is the third week since the cleo

The mill is doing excellent work and
the first general cleanup will be made
More than a hundred tons OF

NEvADA-DoU0LAs HAs
Ill1GEN0E COPIED VEINS

1T never has been my privilege before
to see a property that responds so finely
to the efforts of those in charge as the
Nevada Douglas ground at Yerington."
stated General Manager w. C. Orem
Thursday, upon his return to Salt Lake
from the mine in question. Continuing
Mr.. Orem said:
The bottom of the winze from the
north drift upon the 550-foot level of
the Ludwig is not only all in ore at it's
present depth of SO feet, but a crosscut
driven so far for eight feet gives a gen.
eral average of "a per cent red metal.
and the end is not yet in sight. nor has
either wall been found as yet. In this
distance are punches of copper in the
native state, punches that approach the
size of boulders almost naturally help
out the average of the whole. We are
still going both ways upon the chalco-
cite ore shoot on this same level. So far
we have opened it on it's strike for 40
feet, and a crosscut in one place shows
the body to be 81 feet wide. All the
faces are in ore similar to that clear
through this chute, the general aver
age of which is Is per cent copper.
up to the time of my departure from
the Nevada Douglas the management
had not encountered the ledge upon the
650-foot level, the crosscut still being
in the limestone hanging wall. But to
give you an idea of what sort of rock
we are penetrating and have been pene-
trating for some time past. I will state
thai out of the last so mine cars ex-
tracted from this level. AZ cars carried
ore that averaged 81 per cent copper to
the ton. We have attempted as yet no
stopping or raising on the chalcocite
chute on the $50 level, but when we do
begin this work everything points. to. the
fact that we will block out rich rock
mighty fast.
I'VE are making, now, one of the most
significant changes in the affairs OF the
Ludwig since taking hold of the prop
erty. This consists of installing a water
pipe line from the Nevada Douglas
tanks, also an air line to run the hoists
and machine drills in the Ludwig. These
changes will add greatly to the general
efficiency of the equipment of the Lud-
wig, cutting down materially the cost
of mining and acting as a safeguard
against any shortage of coal during the
coming winter months. We also are in
stalling a brass-lined pump and coppe
pipe through the mine so as to handle
the water more economically. The
water in the Ludwig is so charged with
copper that an iron pipe does not last
long.
The casting shaft on the Douglas
group is $50 feet in depth. The general
of the last 80 feet of this work
was Sc per cent red metal. The shaft
has run through the vein, and a cross
cut will be sent to 1t from the 2Oo-foot
level. In the east drift from the main
tunnel the ore averaged from 3.5 to 4
per cent copper during the past month.
The 100 level of the casting shaft Is
steadily between 5 and s per
cent. The Nevada Douglas looks better
with each visit, it's future usefulness is
positively assured, and all that remains
for us to do now is to place as great a
tonnage in sight as possible so that the
future can be gagged along correct

ON GIBRALTAR HAS
BODY OF HIGH-GRADE ORE

Perhaps the richest ore ever sacked
for shipment in the Bullfrog district is
now being extracted from the lower
workings of the Gibraltar on Bonanza
mountain at Rhyolite.
George T. Phillips and F. A. Moesser,
who were recently granted a lease on a
block of ground in this well known prop
erty. are certainly taking out the stuff
that means money and plenty of 1t to
them.
A Herald reporter visited the property
one day this week and found the leasers
sacking some of the rich stuff, which
both declared should go something
above 800. with the possibility of some
of the ore reaching the thousand dollar
mark.
The reporter was provided with a few
handouts of ore from a partially filled
sack and from this ore al assay was
made by Miles Milward, who returned
a certificate showing values of one hun
bred and eight ounces in gold, or $3.50
to the ton.
The sample was not selected, but was
taken from a sack containing the
leasers believed to be the ordinary run
of the high grade. The ore is quartz
mixed with manganese and tale. The
presence of the tale makes it difficult to
crush. but without crushing the pam
nings made are simply e~ye-openers. The
long strings of fine gold in the pan are
accompanied by real nuggets.
The leasers are working in a slope
above the main tunnel level. at a verti-
cal depth of about 400 feet. The ore
shoot as far as explored, perhaps Is
feet above the first timbers. is about
three feet in width. with the high grade
streak on the hanging wall. This streak
is from four to five inches in width and
breaks to an excellent shipping grade
without screening. although the ore is
being screened before sacking.
After three weeks work. Messrs.
Phillips and Moesser have sacked fully
a ton of the better grade and a ton OF
second grade. while a quantity of MILL
ing ore, which is also of an excellent
quality. has been saved in the Slope.
1t is the intention Of the leasers to

FIRsT SALE MADE OF
CLAIMS AT 0oLDBANKS

The first sale of mining property In
Goldbanks, the new and booming camp
AZ miles south of Winnemucca. was
closed yesterday. Clay Peters of San
Francisco being the purchaser, he hav-
ing taken over an option held by Joe
Ward, formerly of Goldfeld. on the
Bodie No. . claim and the Whale frac-
ton, owned respectively by ]. Schell
and his son, Alfred Schell.
The amount OF the purchase price has
not been given out. but 1t certainly must
have been a comfortable one when II Is
considered that the claims included in
the sale are the cream of the inside
property at Goldbanks. The Bodie No.
2 is the south extension of the New Mo-
hawk and the Whale fraction is the
north extension of the Goldbanks. the
bonanza claims owned by A. p. Smith.
the original locator and father of Gold
banks. Seven leases nave been let on
each of the Smith claims. which lie side
by side, one being traversed by the
mammoth New Mohawk ledge and the
other by the great Goldbanks ledge.
The wonderful lodges mentioned being
traceable directly through the claims
purchased by Mr.. Peters. it is very APP
parent tndt lie mas dtHuiitd Pi,1NfsS
second only in value to that held by the
original d~iscoverer.
Mr.. Peters is one of the best known
mining men on the coast and has large
real estate interests in Reno and other
places in Nevada. He was one or the
pioneers of Tonopah and Goldfield and
acquired a large fortune through his
operations in those camps. He has a
reputation for superior judgment or the
merits of a mining proposition and Gold
banks is indeed fortunate in having a
mining man of Mr.. Peters'caliber step in
ana back his judgment with his money
as he has done.
Messrs. Peters and Ward arrived In
winnemueca from Goldbanks this morn
ing and will depart this evening for
Reno. .
THE showing out there is something
immense. considering the amount or
work that has been DONE" said Mr..
Peters. TT looks to me that Goldbanks.
with it's great lodges and remarkable
values. is going to be one of the really
great mining camps and is going to have
a wonderful growth in the next few
weeks, in spite of the present adverse
conditions and the depression which Is
felt in all the camps of the state
