Notes
of General
Interest

The smelter at Ely is now a steady
producer of blister copper and has
been making twelve tons of metal a
day, 1t will probably soon increase
the amount of the output.
An excellent surface showing has
recently been made on the Golden
Prince property at Phoebe. The ore
assays COS ounces in silver and 40
per cent lead.
The Florence group of claims in
Gold Run basin, twelve miles south
of Golconda, is being developed with
very satisfactory results.
Jesse Harrington and Mike Nok
are developing some very promising
ground near the top of Mt. Grant
An industry. the successful devel-
opment of which means great deal
to Winnemucca and the northern
part of the state, is the projected
opening of the largest building and
roofing stone quarry in the world on
Blue mountain, twenty miles west of
Winnemucca.
The Paymaster mine of Phonolite
has made it's initial shipment of first
class ore, the consignment being
loaded on the cars at Austin on the

other similar shipments will follow
in regular order.
Marshall Mamlem has shipped five
tons of ore from his property at

district has been bonded for $780,
900 to the Western Mining and De-
velopment company, composed of j
NJ Monnette, W. c. Randells,

A writer tells an interesting stor!
of the discovery of zinc in the south
ern part of Lincoln county, forty-fivt
miles southwest of Las Vegas. TIL,
metal comes in the form of a zint
carbonate. AS illustrative of the linn
itations of ordinary discernment, tn,
true character of these great deposits
was utterly unknown until about TIVE
years ago. For the past twenty-fiv,
years, this locality has been price
for it's lead. Though far removed
from railroad and smelling facilities
this metal had been mined and tn,
best of it shipped, in fitful way
ever since 1893. Accompanying thi
lead were extensive dykes of light
brittle, yellow-colored material tina
was contemptuously flung over tn
dump as worthless ledge matter o
! casing" until some restless FELLOW
took the pains to have it analysed |
reminded them of something the
had seen in Mexico. The return
showed large percentage of zinc
! Then everybody got busy sendin
away samples, and it was soon foun
that Good Springs had ten tons 0
zinc to one ton of lead.
