NEVADA-DOUCLAS
ORE BODY PROVEN

General Manager w. c. Orem of the
Nevada Douglas Copper company of Yer
ington returned Friday morning from a
trip to the mine, says the Salt Lake Tri-
bune. That Mr. Orem was pleased with
the new developments and the present
condition of the mine is stating facts
mildly.
New development work and old work
proving up the ore body has met with
remarkable success, and the mine stands
today with proven depth of $50 feet of
copper ore, this being equivalent to a
depth of $50 feet on the dip of the ore
body. The 650-foot level is the latest to
respond to the efforts of the manage
ment. Here copper values running all
the way from to per cent have already
been found, though the development
work has not nearly had time enough to
prove the best portions of the chalcocite
ore body. In speaking of the affairs of
the mine Mr.. ,Orem said:
Since May l we have drifted to the
south on the 550-foot level about so feet.
The drift has been showing good sui
phides in the greater part of its length.
We are sinking Wine from the same
level at the present time. The winze is
now down about IS feet A little over a
week ago assays running between IS and
20 per cent copper were secured in the
bottom of the winze. We are still in
much the same material. The ore ex-
posed here will average between Is and
20 per cent copper.
Down in the north drift on the $50
we struck ore. The face is showing up
well and work here is encouraging. The
material in which we are now working
carries from to per cent copper. We
have now reached that point in the south
drift on this level where we expect to
cut the ore shoot at any time.
I'VE are getting good results in all of
our principal workings, and as a result
naturally feel very much encouraged by
the outlook
"Our ore bin now contains about 200
tons of good copper ore. The mineral is
mainly chalcocite The ore will run any
where from Is to 20 per cent copper.
Sat the present time we are not stop
ing ore. The enly ore which we are
sending to the smelter is that produced
in the development work. We send that
along intermittently. We have about 80
men at work in the mine and all are on
development work

men met i'll Owl hall and listened to the
proposition of II w. Esden and associ-
ates, made by 4. R. Dodge of Reno, to

sented to the city council on Monday
evening and the Mayor has issued an in
vitation to all interested to be present in
order that the combined wisdom of all
may be had in making a decision.
II the city is not prepared to issue
bonds anu build its own plant then it
would be wise to accept any fair and
reasonable offer made that would insure
immediate action.

carefully drawn and the city should have
