in punches in the fractures. Some very
high-grade silver ore carrying fair gold
values has been extracted. but no def
mite nor continuous chute of ore has
been uncovered to date, and the work
done on the property so far is of
superficial nature. Should the COM

the possibilities of uncovering a rich

siderable work was done during the
early months of the year. Several ore
veins at fair prospect depth are ex-
posed, showing good milling values. a

down to a depth of over 100 feet, and
considerable ore is on the dump rang

There Is a story in mining circles
which illustrates the wonders of the
wealth concealed in the bowels of the
earth which surpasses the coniprehen-
sion, and necessarily the credulity, Of
expert mining men. 1t relates to two
prospectors who had penetrated into
the frigid wildness of Alaska where no
man of white color had been before IN
search of mineral wealth. They came
upon a hill, or what is a hill in that
half-unknown region, and beheld 4
sight which nearly struck them blind
in its dazzling prospects of millions
and left them dumb for description
Stretched out before them like a
winding snake of gigantic proportions,
weighing over mountains, hundreds of
feet wide was the outcropping or a
copper vein, green-brown in color and
showing TO the naked eye of an mex
perienced miner that King Soiomon's
mines were mere prospect holes in
comparison.
Hurrying back to the outside they
carried the wonderful tale of what they
had seen back to one Of the richest
mining operators in the world. They
told him in his Office in Butte what
they had seen. They described 1t to

said with a smile in a noncnaiant ef-
fort to turn the subject from the
Alaskan fairy tale.
Beyond Belief.
He simply could not believe them
His own possessions in copper mining
yielded him an insome which is NOT
equalled by any single individual IN
the world.
In a modified degree. md not far
from the center of civilization, there IS
Il copper mine which ranks with the
one seen by the Alaskan prospectors.
II Is the Nevada Douglas copper mine
OF Nerington. From the hills around
the Yerington district there stretches
before the eye the outcroppings of this
wonderful mine. These outcroppings
N places are 500 feet wide and extend
as far as the eye can see. The Won
dcrful mine which is the cause Ct

figures OF the estimate of those who
know the possibilities of the great Ne

copper mines of the world. All reports

Although the development of the
mines of Iron county has not been 50
rapid during the past year as was an
ticipated, this was largely due to the
uanic. or course, errcrs of judgment,
from which no mining district is ex-
capt, was a retarding factor in a few
asses. IN general, the mining proper
les OF Iron county are looking up, and
tie outlook for 1908 is pronouncediy
favorable, if the present auguries mean
anything. The various districts are
being more closely investigated aid
studied, and with the opening of spring
the Gold Spring district in particular is
likely TO become a camp of much ac-
t-.ity.

or around that figure in the banner
days of two years ago, A. L. Pearse,
the well known London mining en-
gineer. estimated that there were about
$4,000, 000 pounds of copper in sight.
This was on an estimate of only 10000
tons of smelling ore in the blocked out
portion of the mine. This was figured
at about $4,000. 900.
When the past two years of develop
ment work in the mine has shown thai
his estimate was only about IL per cent
of what was really in the mine, ii
makes one dizzy, no matter how fren-
zied financier he may be, to even
think of the stored wealth beneath the
| surface of the Nevada-Douglas prop
erty.
Surpasses Average Values.
The average value of the ore which
is taken from the leading copper mines
of the world is not more than 2 per
cent. and the copper millionaires are
the richest of the plutocrats the world
knows. Here, then, is the great ad-
vantage of the Nevada-DougIas over
the other copper mines in the known
world.
The character and extent of the ore
bodies in the mine have not been real
lied by the mining world. Neither was
the extent of that wonderful mine in
Alaska which started the leading con-
per man of the country talking about
the weather to the two prospectors whit
brought him the tale of gigantic wealth
and caused him to miss an opportunity
of lifetime.
II has not been believed in the min.
ing world that the extraordinary val
ues which were seen in the Nevada
Douglas could hold out much longer
ment of the mine was begun.
Rich Ore on Lower Levels.
Not only have the ores been holding
out. but the richest of the ores in the
mine which have been encountered thus
far are on the lower levels.
A simple problem in multiplicatio
will show the enormous advantage
which the mine has over all the other
great mines in the country. If it costs
9 cents a pound for the mines which
have 2 per cent ore to produce the
copper, then the Nevada Douglas, With
its more than 6 per cent ore can p-v-
duce it for 6 cents and have a margin
left over for handling the ore which
puts it away ahead on the cleanup.
The Nevada-Douglas Copper compa-
ny owns thirty-two claims in a COM
pact group in the heart of the Yering-
ton district. It owns also eighty acres
of ground three miles away in which
are several good-sized springs. provid-
ing plenty of water for mining. milling
and smelling purposes. The mine is
equipped with a 2S0-horsepower COM
pressor. connected with the electric
power line of the Truckee River Power
company. which company is capable of
supplying at reasonable cost all of
the power that can be possibly needed
by the mines of the district. On the
property are three hosting plants. ma
chine shops, assay office and other
buildings and equipment necessary for
mining on an extensive scale.

has been carried on by the manage
ment for the economic operation in flu
ture The policy has been one OF
preparation for the great mining which
is to come. The company has devoted
its efforts in the main to development
and the equipment Of the property for
future results.
Among the great advantages which
will soon come TO il is the building of
a standard gauge spur from the main
line of the Nevada & California line,
a portion of the Hartman system.
This great Improvement will be sup
plemented by the building of a larger
reduction works for the treatment Of
the ore on the ground. Other great I'M
provements have been planned for the
coming year and all of them will have
been completed by the company be-
fore another year rolls around.
Treated cheapIy.

being neutral. they can be economically
treated by smelling. Ores going per
cent copper or better will go direct
from the mine to the furnaces, while
everything below per cent copper is
classed as concentrating ore and must
first undergo the process of milling. No
decision has been reached as yet as 10
