Big Output
For the Year

RENO, Dec. 21.-Up to September
80 of this year, according to the re-
ports in the hands of James II. Neven,
state bu.. Ion tax collector, the pro-
duction of gold and silver in the two
banner counties of Esmeralda and
Nye has been such as to place the
year 1907 in the front among a the
yoars that have preceded ii recently
in the production of the precious
metals in Nevada.
In the first nine months of this
year the taxes paid on the net profits
in Esmeralda county amounted to
$197,S4G.33. For the quarter end
ing September 80, 1907, the :1X on
the Goldfeld production alone
amounted to $50. 1894. This tax
is based on a tax rate of 1920 per
hundred dollars of net profit.
IN Tonopah for the last three
months ending September 80, the tax
has been $16,S37.94 on the net out
put at the rate of So A per hundred.
When it is remembered that the
mines in Esmeralda county have been
closed for more than 100 days in the
past nine months the importance of
the report will be appreciated as
showing the real worth of tie mines
in the southern camp.
This report, which is made from
sworn and verified statements, Will do
much toward Strengthening public
confidence in the mining pl opcrties

Mining In
The District

Claiming to have beaten all rec
ords for sinking within the last 30
days, ]. A. Gallagher of the Veteran
shaft of Cumberland Ely comes for
ward with depth of 142 feet made
by his men sinking the big new four
compartment shaft. The amount of
material lifted was approximately
10000 cubic feet.
Even though Gallagher prove
wrong in his assertion that this is
the record for the camp and the state,
the amount of material lifted will
sound good to those interested in the
company. Work in the big shaft has
at present reached a point between
the $50 and 260 foot mark. With
every five feet of progress down.
ward the record of material lifted in
the hoise is raised by about 1,50O
cubic feet. In the work of sinking
about 235 miners are employed.
Gallagher expects to have the shaft
down to the second level within 40
days. On the first of February he,
believes approximately 400 feet will
have been made. In development
work but little of interest is to be
told. Work in the ore bodies previ-
ously discovered is progressing well

Work on the big cut and FILL which
will be necessary to bring track to

In local mining circles the week
has been replete with features. Not
one of the companies, which are
working, but has reported material
progress in some way. The reported
strike of good ore, practically on the
surface, at the Calumet has created
quite a stir among local mining men.
While doing assessment work, this
week, the Calumet company encoun-
tered small body of ore bearing
good values in copper, lead and sill
yer. Stockholders in this concern
are much enthuSed by news of this
find. which goes far to prove worth
of the property. Report has it that
steps will at once be taken to prove
the extent of the body.
