WILL REC HOIST

The Puritan company, operating in
the Crystal Springs section. is planning
to install a 25-horse power hosting
plant about the first of the month and
resume sinking. Z. S. Giles, superin-
tendent of the property, who was in
Rhyolite a short time ago, says that the
shaft, which is now down 100 feet, viii
be carried to the 300-foot level before
any lateral work is undertaken. Owing
to the warm weather and the fact that
sinking could not be carried OF to an
advantage without machinery, opera
tions were suspended some time ago.

In the southern portion of Lincoln
county, forty-fve miles southwest of
Las Vegas, there is a district that will
add IN entirely new feature to the min
ing industry of Nevada. Here are to be
found deposits Of zinc carbonate that
equal anything Of their kind in the
world. As illustrative of the limitations
of ordinary human discernment, the true
character of these great deposits was
utterly unknown until about two years
age. For the past 25 years, this local
ity had been priced for its lead. Though
far removed from railroad and smelling
facilities, this metal had been mined
and the best of it shipped, in a ftful
way, ever since 1898. Accompanying
this lead were extensive dykes of a
light, brittle, yellow eolored material
that was contemptuously flung over the
dump as worthless ledge matter or
leasing" until some restless fellows
took the pains to have It analysed. II
reminded them of something they had
seen in Mexico. The returns showed a
large percentage of zine. Then every
body got busy sending away samples,
and it was soon found that Goodspriugs
had ten tons of z:He to one OF lead.
Now when a big discovery is made in
gold or silver, there straightway comes
the inevitable stampede-and another
Tonopah or Goldfeld. But it didn't
prove that way in Goodsprings, for the
simple reason that, under existing con
ditions, all this zinc ore was as value

This camp has not witnessed any ex-
element vet this summer, but has been

the end of the month. In case, however,
that satisfactory arrangements can be
made with one of the stamp mills in the
district the shipping ore together with
a large quantity of milling ore will be
treated here. A hundred ton mill run
can easily be prepared by the last O.
the month.
Big Pump Installed
The new pump engine and whim for
the George English lease reached the
ground Sunday and after a shut down
of three weeks on account of water the
George English and Bently-English
leases will concentrate their forces IN
the shaft for a long campaign of dcvei-
opment. The pump will handle 1,5o0
gallons of water an hour, and it is be-
lieved that it will handle all the water
that is liable to enter the shaft.

GOODSPRINGS HAS BECOME
A BASE METAL PRODUCER

Happily some of those who founi
themselves possessed Of this new dis
eovery gamely concluded that, since all
industries have a beginning, they would
so ahead and see how much Of a ton
mage they could develop, believing that
reduction facilities would Inevitably
follow the opening up sufficient guam
titles of a metal that the world wanted,
and was paying a good price for. This
work has been quietly on at the Potosi,
Rover, Green Mountain, Monte Cristo,
and a number of other properties until
today there are opened up ore bodies
which would furnish q toiraac Of two
or three hardred tous per cay for 4

the zinc s,nsiters in Kansas Gcie as a
test than anything else and ;he general
average was over 40 FER cent. The high
freight rate, however, absorbs about all
the profit. Such Il the situation at
Goodsprings, today. There ism 7 . zinc
reduction works anywhere in the west
and there WON'T be aiy ;aoney in this
ore until some such works are provided.
1t having been demonstrated that
Goodsprings possesses the prime re-
quisite for reduction work. namely,
plenty of good ore, steps are being
taken by eastern capitalists which will
provide such facilities and then Good
springs will straightway become the
largest shipper of base metal of any
camp in Nevada, and probably the
greatest district in the world.

The company is employing 80 men
and just as soon as teams can be Sc.
cured shipments will begin. Plans are
under advisement for a big concentrat-
ing plant, and this matter will probably
be definitely decided upon by the first
of the year. 1t is figured that since the
ores are largely lead and silver, a big
saving can be made by concentration.
High Grade From Lee
w. c. Rice has taken out Is tons of
high grade ore at the Lees in the Fun
eral range, and expects to start ship
ping in a short time.
He is down 60 feet and will start
drifting at once. He has cut through
the hanging wall and the vein at this
point shows a width of four feet be-
tween walls. There are two or three
tale streaks which carry a width #
from 2 to 6 inches, and return excellent
values.
Strike Near Diamond Qeen
There has been a good strike made on
the May & Gray lease, lying just north
of the original lease on the Diamond
Queen, in the drift Is feet north of the
bottom of the 60-foot shaft. The drift
has penetrated the vein matter about 25
feet, the last 10 feet being in ore mixed
with spart and lime. The ore ASSAYS
better than 100 to the ton in gold. Mr..
Gray, who has charge of the lease,
thinks they are IN top of an ore shoot
and will commence sinking a Wine in
a few days to determine its extent.
Shipping will be started in a few days.
West Extension Ships
The West Extension shipped a car Of
high grade a few days ago to Taylor &
Brunton at Murray, Utah. The weight
of the ore was about 25 tons. General
Manager Len P. McGarry declines 70
put a valuation on the shipment, but it
is some of the property's best product
and will probably yield a high return.
Development at the property is I'M
covering an excellent grade of ore. The
~laterals from the 150-foot level are
showing the mine to be one of the big
gest in the camp.

AZ ure shipments g the Tonopah
and Goldfeld railroad for the week 70
the Western Ore Purchasing company,
consisted of 100 tons from she Tonopah
Extension and $50 tons from the Mac.

tons to the mills, making the total ship
ments for the week to the mills $3.50
tons.
The total output of the Tonopah
mines was 6,040 tons, of an estimated
value (the shipping ore being valued at
500 a ton and the milling ore at s25 q
tom of s16O,sOO.
West End
That the ore body encountered in the
new shaft of the West End Consolidated
at about the 360-foot point is all that
was claimed for it is being proven as
work on the ore body progresses. The
raise which was sent up from the drift
on the 4OO-foot level, II feet west of the
shaft, has made connection with the bot
tom of the shaft stope, which was
started 35 feet above the bottom of the
shaft, and has been in good ore all the
way. The top of the stope is Is feet
above the point where the raise broke
through, which proves the ore body to
extend at least so feet in height, and
how much further it is impossible to say
at this writing, as the top of the stope
is full of ore and shows no sign of quit
ting. Some idea of the size of this ore
shoot may be cleaned from the fact that
the stope is now 40 feet long, from Is
to 20 feet wide and 16 feet high. and
there is nothing in sight but ore and
good grade at that. From present APP
p~earanees it will take them some time
to determine its extent. Work was re
sumed in the west drift from the bottom
of the shaft this week. For a few feet
after drifting began the work was in
good ore, but after that the grade be-
gan to lower and for several feet there
was nothing but low grade, carrying
small punches of ore in sight. The face
this week shows a decidedly different
state of affairs, as there are now be-
tween 2 and 3 feet of shipping ore ex-
posed, and the pay streak showing every
evidence of filling the breast of the
drift is out so feet from the shaft. The
east drift ON the 400-foot level has left
the ledge, having been turned in a
northeasterly direction in order to make
connection with the workings on the
400 foot level from the old shaft. The
face in this drift is out nearly $50 feet.
Stopping continues on the ledge opened
up on the 150-foot intermediate level,
near the MacNamara line, and about Z
feet of excellent ore is being extracted.
The shipments this week consisted OF
los tons.
Tonopah Company
That the mine of the Tonopah Mining
company is producing the ore and its
big mill grinding out the bullion is
proven by the weekly shipments of bull
lion from the plant at Millers, IL miles
below T~onopah. This weeks bullion
shipment was valued at $103,275, which
is certainly a remarkable output, when
it is considered that silver is selling
around the 51-cent mark. At the pres
ent rate of production, with silver at
60 to IS cents per ounce, this company

TONOPAH'S ORE OUTPUT
IS STEADILY INCREASING

The shipments for the week, however,
show a very healthy condition Of the
mine, as three carloads Of 80 tons each
were sent to the smclter and two ear
loads to the mills, making the total
shipments of ore for the week $50 tons.
Jim Butler
The work being done on this property
is still confined to the levels from the
Stone Cabin shaft, though il is expected
that operations will soon be resumed
through the Wandering Boy shaft. The
progress for week consists of II feet of
new ground being broken, in addition
to the work in the Slopes and raises.
The Stone Cabin shaft was sent down
IL feet this week, the bottom now being
$685. feet below the collar of the shaft.
When the 700-foot point is reached
crosscuts will be sent out and the
ground opened up at that depth. Ore
bins provided with sorting tables are
now in course of construction at the
Stone Cabin shaft, and it is expected
that they will be completed within the
next two or three weeks. Pending the
completion of this work the ore ship
ments will no doubt be somewhat light
err. Work continues throughout the
older workings Of the mine and an cx-
%cellent showing has been made.
Tonouah Ex.
Work continues uninterruptediy on
the 400, 600 and 770-foot levels. The
operations on the 400 and 770-foot levels
are confined to prospecting work, where
crosscuts are being sent out in differ
ent directions in order to open up new
ground which gives every promise of
returning rich rewards. The report of
the special expert, Mr.. Krumb, who ex-
amined and sampled the mine last
month, is anxiously awaited by promi-
nent operators in Tonopah as well as the
investing public, and it is probable that
the contents of that report will be made
public this month, as the postponed
meeting Of stockholders, at which the
report will be made, is scheduled for
this month.
Montana Tonopah
The usual energy is being put for
ward by this company in opening up its
territory, and much attention is being
paid to the prospecting part of the
work. During the week a total of ia
feet of new ground has been broken,
which is a pretty good record, when it
is considered that enough ore must be
extracted to keep the 40-stamp mill run
ming continuously. During the week
/ 900 tons of ore were hoisted and
treated by the mill, which is slightly
less than the usual run, owing to the
burning out of the battery motor, which
caused a loss of about six hours. The
same high record of 92 per cent ex-
traction is recorded for the past week.
Throughout the older workings of the
mine there is no particular change to
mention. The several slopes continue
to produce the regular amount of ore,
and the ore bodies seem to be just as
strong as ever.
On the 390-foot level the west drift
on the South vein was advanced 81 feet
and is now out 121 feet. The face of
the drift exposes mill ore in the roof
and appears to be up against a fault.
The wiuze on this vein. about go feet
back from the face, is down 10 feet and
shows 9 feet of low grade milling ore in
the bottom. A raise, which was started
the top exposing 3 feet of milling ore.
