shovels ripping the immense de-

and the of about $500 yards of overburden day Get
line for the cut in which the single shovel producing
pay that coming from the Flat working and for
view of the shoves engaged in stripping and you will have
your eye body of that will instantly dispel nger
ing doubt that may have crossed mind to the
ability this property keep its end of the work which
supply its portion of above 10000 of daily will call
Tor when the Stepto plants completed along the lines that
being carried out with splendid rapidity.
Also you will look upon of activity of the employ
of tremendous ingenuity SKILL BRAIN Drawn and power
that will give you impression of the great things that
being done this district and of the extent and
wealth its and of the wealth that being made
of to give these to the of the world Also
will look upon the only straight shovel copper mining
proposition in the world for it be said of Copper Flat
deposits they lay nntesmay opened today in compar
son with the great body that another work will expose
attack of the shove that they keep the concentration
snelter of Nevada Consolidated and Cumberland Ely
Mc going full capacity for without resort to
single underground working for additional should such
requirement be found desirable.
Build they and still could keep them
buried under from this flat if turned loose to do it, is the
the present situation put by Captain om superntend
of Nevada Consolidated mines And this veteran mining
knows He has the work behind him and the mining
perence acceptance of his opinion authority
Cars cars continued Captain Toms in his interview lis all
need to swamp the fellows below We can fill them faster
than the railroad pull them away faster if need be than
single track them, and do 1T now with only
beginning made in the work of stripping and aborng
under disadvantages of cramped room for trans
poraton and shovel operations cant WEI? queried the
tain smngly of his first lieutenant, John Nichols sawart
of the type his interrogation You bet flashed the
Young enthusiastic with the reply that
finds counterpart among all the Nevada Consolidated
folks who believe in nothing If not the overwhelming great
of the worth of that compans properties compared
with those Of other copper producers of the world
That is the things moving at Copper Flat Every
body enthusiastic and crowdng with full confidence
that how hard they crowd the ground will respond
stronger stronger At present they operating under
disadvantage because of cramped room But three steam
shoves going day and night burrowng into great iron
groupings and overburden which they will level to the
bed will be three tracks instead of for the
Of and machinery Arrangement OF these tracks
will allow entry and departure from both ends and VIII make
rapid work the Flat 1t WILL too, decrease costs and
Iep with making of this the cheapest extracting work
ing place in the world That it will be such the positive
declaration of Superintendent Nandeoef OF steam shovel OPP
eratons who arrived at the property Thursday and mned
ately turned highly enthusiastic Mr. Vanderhoef has
Quoted shovel operations IN the last several years Tor
Utah Copper Boston Consolidated and other Utah properties
None of the Utah ground says this has equal oppor
ty through natural advantages for the cheap production
f ore that Copper Flat affords Fright here said Wander
boef 'wi soon be made world record for low cost
copper production
With Mr. Vanderloef at the head, Captain Toms has as
sembed splendid of steam shovel people at the FIAT
The organization is the working winning kind 1t has demon
srted it's effectiveness in the last month OF actual work at he
Flat through materially lowering cost OF shovel operation
while largely increasing the daily capacity OF the machines
