STRIKE IN lone
MOUNTAIN GROUP

S. G. Weston, who recently re-
turned from a visit to the Baltimore
group of mines on Lone mountain,
twenty-six miles north of Elko, re-
ports a rich strike on that property
which will give further impetus to
the mining excitement in this coun-
ty, says the Elko Free Press.
The strike referred to occurs about
200 feet from the face of the tunnel,
where a particularly rich vein of
shipping ore has been encountered.
This is a copper property which has
been worked for the past twelve
years on more than a paying basis.
With the steady advance in the price
of copper, the mine has become more
profitable as an exceptionally fine.
property. 1t is proposed to put in
power drills for the further develop
ment of the mine, and the arrival of
N. F. Snyder of New York, president
of the Pacific Consolidated cowNaa~,
which controls the claim, is anNioas-
ly awaited.

north BELLE
HAS fine VALUES
ORE SACKED AND READY TO
SHIP FROM THIS PROP
ERTY.

The North Belle Gold Mining
company has forty-seven SACKS of ore
on the dump ready to ship. The
values are in gold, silver and copper,
and the average assay is $17S a ton
This is the statement of H. ].
Seitz, secretary of the North Belle,
who has just returned from the
mine. The North Belle has been
stealing into the public eye for some
months past, bringing with it atten-
ton to the Union mining district,
which bids fair to be one of the
greatest districts in the state. Mr..
Seitz not only co%rroborates the good
words of William j. Douglass, James
McQuillan, Thomas Kendall and
Jack Hall for the country, but he
has the goods to show for them
selves. He brought in with him
samples from the Old Timers lease
on the North Belle, and he did not
bring them in a paper saG1 either.
The specimens that he brought were
too big for any sack, and they are to
be seen in the office of H. j. Hall on
lower Main street. These will give
an idea of what the mine has.
THE Old Timers lease is one
taken up by a number of the early
corners into Tonopah," said Mr..
Seitz, "and they have already ship
ping ore, although they have not yet
been at work a month. They are
down now sixteen or seventeen feet,
and the ledge is holding it's own, and
there is no footwall In sight. Assays
from there show SCI in silver, $50
in lead and SO in gold"
To the Impractical eye, the sam
pies at Jack Halls would seem to go
even higher, and they come from a
little bit of a hole in a great big
mine.
"On the main workings of the
North Belle" continued Mr.. Seitz.
we have a tunnel in 179 feet and
ten inches, and in the face of this
tunnel we made a big strike on the
first of the month, Just before / left
there. We have cut a fine looking
ledge which is seventeen inches wide
as far as We have gone, but which
will doubtless widen out. The rock
resembles very closely that which CT
rae took out in the early days. We
have all the indications too, Of get
ting the high values that Cirac got,
and we have not yet seer the foot
wall.
The country is looking good in
all directions, and there are pros.
p%ectors on all sides. They are get.
ting the big Berlin mine into shape
again. and they are putting to work
all the desirable men that come
along. They pulled all the pumps
out of the mine at the time of the

strike, and as a result the mine was
flooded. Now they are pumping out
the water again as fast as possible,
and they have a gang of men at work
on the 200 level.
They are also overhauling and
getting into shape the 30-stamp mill
which has lain idle so Dng. They
are sparing no expense in getting
things into condition, and the mine
is rapidly being put into first class
shape. Douglass and Kendall ex-
pect to get the use of ten stamps of
the mill as o o as they are ready for
operation. They will use these for
the reduction of the ore on the lease
on the Richmond property, in which
they are interested with Louis Cirac.
The three gentlemen who own that
lease are going to make a fortune on
its production alone.
"A great number of people are get
ting interested in the Union mining
district, and e people are finding
their way into there all the time. l
predict a great future for the coun-
try, and you will see a great boom in
there before the close of the fall. l
think it is a wise thing that our peo-
pie are doing in opening up the prop
erty to the leasers, and they will
help the latter in every way they can,
for money in the leasers' pockets is
money in the company's pockets. AZ
ter n of the leases gets started,
there will be no end of them follow,
and you may look for a repetition of
the great strikes of the bonanza
leasing days of Goldfield."

GOOD SHOWING BY
TONOPAH COMPANY

Despite the fact that the Tonopah
Mining company met with many re-
verses in operating their mine dur
ing the past year, the fifth annual
statement of the company shows that
ore was taken out of the mines at a
profit.
Ore sales during the year amount
ed to $1,566, 293,59, and more than
$4,000 in ore was placed on the
dumps, making the total production
of ore $1,649,S92.59 The cost of
mining the ore amounted to s502,-
657.74, making the net earnings for
mining $1,147, 234.85. During the
year the company paid out $780,
600 in dividends and the surplus was
increased $308,446; the total bal
c Of surplus amounts to $3,105,-

amount of development work on the
property to date is 1929 feet.
Many improvements have been
made at the company's property dur
ing the year. Among the most i'm

numerous other important improve,
ments have been made, some being
necessitated by the increase in the

oble to reach the bottom on account
Of there being ten feet of water
there. Mr.. Mott. the superintendent,
says that there is a new ledge at the
bottom level, which has been fol-
lowed to a width of three feet, with
out the footwall being struck.
Not much has been said of this
for the reason that the men have
been too busy getting out the ore
from the upper level. The big find
started at the PIT foot and we are
now down to the 236 foot level on
which we are drifting both ways.
We have fifteen feet of backs there
without any doubt, and in the west

that the tellurium was taken.
This makes an awfully good
showing for the Manhattan Brey-

are likely to get il any day, although
they calculate going down at least

We will continue sinking to the

SEVEN HUNDRED TON PLANT
Largest Concentrator in Nevada
Nearing Completion at Giroux

Nearing Completion at Giroux
The people OF Ely have heard so
much OF the immense smelling and
milling plants now being erected at
McGill by the Steptoe VALLEY Smelt-
ing & Mining company-which when
completed win be the largesr plant
Of the kind in the worid-tbat they
have apparently overlooked the i'm
portant fact that the largest con
centrating plant in the state of Ne
vada will soon be completed by the
GirouX company at Kimberly. 1t is
pleted and ready to start up by the
first day of August. when not less
than 700 tons of ore daily will be
handled when the plant is working,
which places 1t in a class by itself
In Nevada. But this is really only
the beginning. or the first unit of an
immense plant which may eventual
ly rival the concentrator now under
construction at McGill.
The work on the smelling plant
at GirouN is also progressing rapidly,
but IL is not likely that the smelter
will be started until after the COM
pletion of the Nevada Northern to
Kimberly, which will probably be
about the middle or the latter part
of September.
When these two plants are in COM
mission and with the high grade ore
that will be shipped without treat
ing, it is likely that the Giroux COM
pany will be hosting 1000 tons OF
ore daily, which will be decidedly
the largest output of any mine in
the state,
The company are as rapidly as
possible making all preparations for
a large output. At the Alpha shaft,
which has reached a depth of 1909
feet. a splendid hosting plant is be
ing installed at a total expense OF
probably $4,000.
All of the work being done by the
company Is of a most solid and sub,
stantial nature. The company is
now employing more than 500 men
and the force will be increased dur.
ing the next month by at least zoe
more, and this, by the way, is only
the beginning by the company, which
in a year or two at the farthest, will
give employment to not less thar
1000 men.
It is currently reported that the
Giroux company will lay off a town.
site at Kimberly for the accommo.
dation OF its army of employees. The
company now maintains a large
store at Kimberly, and also conducts
a boarding house under the manage
ment of c. w. Gates, where abour
200 men are accommodated with a
good meals as a be had at an!
camp in the state.
Should the company decide to la'
off a town 1t will no doubt be
place Of considerable Importance ii
the near future.
