LARGE SMELLING
PLANT FOR NEVADA

In discussing the Utah smelter sit
u%ation, 4 Boston financial paper de-
clares that with the closing of the
Utah Consolidated smelter on New
Years day, practically only one smell
ter was left to smelt copper ores in
the Salt Lake valley-the Garfield
plant of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, This same pub
lication also makes the declaration
that when the United States Company
closes down its copper smelter at
Bingham Junction, it will take steps
to build an entirely new plant in
Nevada; that it will go out of Utah
entirely.
The Miners Smelling Company,
a $10,000,000 Maine corporation, or
gained by the Heinze interests just
previous to the Heinze troubles in
New York it is stated, has made
no move toward the erection of its
contemplated plant beyond the pur-
chase of a site. There is no question,
however, that this smelter will be
built, for Salt Lake capital will HELM
out in furnishing the necessary
funds. This Heinze company has Sc
cured a ten-year contract for the
smelling of all the Silver King Coali-
ton ores upon terms which make
this contract alone of sufficient value
TO warrant the building of an indie.
pendent smelter.
Then there are the Ohio copper
concentrates and the ores of the
Bingham Consolidated to be treated
as well as the products of many in.
dependent mines, all of which woult
guarantee a tonnage sufficient for the
successful operation of such a plant
A good portion of the Bingham Con
solidated smelter will be used in the
new Heinze plant. for it is under
stood that the Bingham Consolidated
company has voted to sell its plan.
to the Miners company.
The mines of Utah are now de
pendent upon the Garfield smelter D
the American Smelling and Refinin:
Company, and that company has n;
spare capacity at the present time t.

mine owners will make fve-year con
tracts upon terms which are consid

OPTION EXTENDED
ON THE GOIINSKY

The Guggenheim interests, through
the Selby Smelling and Refining Com
pany, a subsidiary corporation, has
secured a renewal of their option on
the Golinsky copper mines near Ken
nete, says the Mining Record. Under
the terms of this option the Guggen-
helms are bound to continue extern
sive development work. The Selby
company has paid approximately
$4,000 for the option, which runs
for a year. The financial stringency
prevented the Guggenheims from
buying the property outright, as re-
cent developments have conclusively
demonstrated the value of the Go,
linsky mines. Under the old bond
much rich copper was taken out and
an electrical railroad a mile long con.

William Bannon, one of the best

of the big San Francisco board, was
in the city yesterday, and leaves for
San Francisco this morning. He is
accompanied by Lewis II. Greene,
also of San Francisco. The gentle
men came here from Rhyolite, where
they had some business.

Mr.. Damon. at is only a matter of

1T was a kind of a setback to us

the FaIrview district and

between the Fairview district and
Wonder.
Scarcely a foot of this territory, II
miles in length. between the rival
camps is open to location. The hill
sides look as though a lot of pre-
historic gophers had been grubbing
in them.
Apropos of the smelters, c. NJ.
Lane, who, with Colonel Coyle, has
the Coyle-Lane lease on the group of
claims owned by Judge Ross near
the Yankee Doodle ground, has be-
come interested in an oil-burnfng
smelter which he predicts will solve
the problem of the Nevada mines. Ac-
eording to Mr.. Lane, who left Wonder
for Goldfeld a few days ago, the new
smelter has passed out of the ex-
perimental stage. He asserts that
even after the exorbitant freight
rates on crude oil have been paid
from Bakersfield to Reno, it will still
be possible to cut under the trust
charges for treating ore from So to
$4 a ton.
The object of his visit to Goldield
is to secure the cooperation of the
Goldfield mine owners. According to
his present plans he will erect one of
the oil-burning shelters near Hazen,
which, he thinks, will be a central
point in the mining industry of the
State for a century.
Mr. Lane contends hal the ques-
ton of fiuxes will not affect the oil
burning smelter in the least. He says
that fully 20 per cent more silica may
be contained in the ore than under
the present methods used by the trust
in treatment of Nevada ores, to Sc
cure relatively the same results. The
discovery of ore with a large per-
centage of lead near Wonder was
especially gratifying to him. He re-
Gently investigated the silver-lead
mines near Winnemucca and will
make them tributary to his plant, he
AYERS, as Don as it is in running or
der. When he left Wonder he was
extremely confident of success, based
largely on the fact, he says, that a
five-ton oil-burning smelter has been
operated successfully, that the inven-
tor of it also invented the method Of
smelling ore used by the trust, and
above all that the time is opportune
for the building of such a plant, that
will mean more to the advancement
of Nevada as a mining State than the
discovery of twenty new districts,
even If these are as good as Wonder.

property in the Mason range, west
of the city of Yerington.
Sunday last Messrs. H. Penning-
ton and j. H. Rhoads of California,
both of whom are heavy stockholders
in the Native Copper, visited Yering-
ton for the avowed purpose of max
ing arrangements for their plant. In.
teryiewed by a representative of the

1t is true we are going to build

trict. The gold-bearing veins con-
tain good values and are Of fair
size.
The Sacramento & Eastern railroad
has been completed to Heroult, and
freight for the electric smelter is be-
ing shipped over the new line, which
will enable active work to be profit
ably carried on in the magnetic ore
regions, contiguous to Heroult, and
will also enable the Bully Hill COM
pany to ship its r and matte to the
market at fair rates. The Sacrament
to & Eastern ~traverses a region rich
in gold, silver and copper, and brings
a rapidly growing section in close
touch with the outside world. The
railroad was projected and practical
ly constructed by Shasta county min
ing men, who had wearied of the eX-
orbitant freight rates charged by the
mule teams, which furnished the only
practical means of transportation.
The Bully Hill smelter at Delamar
is rapidly nearing completion, and it
is thought that the plant will be
ready to commence treating ore about
the first of next May. In the Bully
Hill mine much copper ore has been
blocked out and the property has
been proven to a greater depth than
any other copper mine in Shasta
county. Development in the lower
levels demonstrates that the ore bod
les lose nothing in size or value with
depth below the lowest working level.
The working of several small quartz
mines in the district insures a supply
of silicious ore for the smelter, which
will be one of the most modern on
the coast.
Considerable work is going on at
the Mountain Copper Company's
mines in the Keswick district, the
ore being shipped to the Martinez
plant. At the Keswick smelter all
work has been suspended and the
men discharged. The foundry is be-
ing operated on work for the Mar
tinez plant and on custom work for
the Mammoth smelter. Operations
at the mines are largely confined to
development work and a large guam
tity of ore has been blocked out un-
til such time as the Keswick plant
will be in a condition to IL ac-
tIVt p dtfofS.
In the Lower Springs district ac-
tive operations continue, and the
Crown Deep, White Oak, Mt. Pleas
ant, Milton and other properties are
looking we'll. The financial strin-
gency has had little effect on opera
lions in this section as an available
market is assured.
The new mill at the Golden Jubi-
lee mine at Carrville has been com
pleted and the property is in shape
for production. The lower tunnel
has exposed an ore body, and every
thing indicates a season of progress
and prosperity.

DIAMOND DRILL
DISCOVERS $50 ORE

A rich belt of gold-bearing quartz
is being prospected along Bishop
Creek, Inyo county, Cal, with excel
lent results. A nine-foot vein of ore
~assaying $35 a ton has been struck
at a depth of 60 feet by a diamond
drill. The ma is considered OF the,
utmost Importance, and from present
indications, a rich property is likely
TO be developed. The discovery has
caused considerable interest through
out the district, and a rush has been
made to locate claims around the
scene of the strike. The belt where
the discovery was made is well de-
fined, and is reported to be over a
mile wide, and has been traced for
an extensive distance. Local people
have located claims in the most
prominent places, and are energetic
ally prospecting their holdings.
The discoveries of .lver-lead ore
in the White mountains has caused
a rush to that section, and a new
camp is being established rear the
center of the district. The original
claims are being developed on an in
telligent scale, and the rich lodges
are showing well with limited depth.
A large number of locations have
been made near the scene of the Or
iginal strike, and many of the first
arrivals are wildly enthusiastic owe
the richness and extent of the ore
bodies.
A %seven-foot ledge running from
SIC to $50 per tor is being derelop-
ed in the Black Canyon mine. near
Bishop, Cal. The ledge outcrops on
the surface, and has been traced for
1900 feet. Selected samples of the
ore runs $3.50 per ton, and the ledge
gives excellent indications of per
manency. A tunnel has been driven
into the giant dyke, and has exposed
some excellent ore. Several smaller
lodges are being prospected with en-
%couraging results. The vein system
is believed to be the same as that
traversing the Cerro Gordo and
Southern Belle mines. between which
the Black Canyon is located. The
management contemplates the install
alton of a modern mill at an early
date, as 1t is considered that sufficient
ore is now in sight to justify such 1
step.
Operations are steadily progress

ANNUAL MEETING
TONOPAH MINING
REPORT SHOWS THE PROPERTY
TO BE IN FIOURISHING
CONDITION.

The annual meeting OF the Tono-
pah Midway took place yesterday af-
ternoon, resulting in the reelection
of the directors ais follows:
II. c. Brougher, J. L. Butler, Henry
Anderson, r. P. Stenson, T. L. oddie,
j. J.. MeQuillan and w. u Douglass.
The report of the secretary showed
a balance with the banks of $685.
1912, and the amount due for ores
$16,776.94, making a total of $79,-
$4,000. The total number Of tons
shipped during the year, from which
returns have been received, was
2343. gross value per ton being
$6S.51, making a total gross value
of $~16O,52O.S5. In addition to this
there were 665 tons, which will net
about $4,000. The cost of treat
ment and transportation per ton was
S20.S25, making the total $~4S,791.7S
and showing the net value per ton
~s47.6S77.
The report states that the greater
part of the development work was
done on the lower levels during the
year, with the exception of the 435
level, where there vas considerable
development work east and south of
the shaft. On the Brougher vein,
north of the shaft, there is consider
able ore in sight. Very little stopping
was done above this level during the
past year. Since the last report, it
is stated, a new body of ore was cut
on the intermediate (between the 435
and 535 levels) on the Brougher vein
near the east end line. Most of the
ore was taken from this body during
the year. The report concludes:
eThe north crosscut on the S35
level was advanced 450 feet, making
a total length of $50 feet. About
500 feet north of the shaft in this
crosscut. a vein from IA to 40 feet
in width was cut. On this vein a
drift was run 300 feet in a westerly
direction, which was all in quartz, as
saying from two to seventeen dol
lars. At a distance of 200 feet from
where the vein was first cut, a cross
cut was made for a distance of 60
feet, showing the vein to be at least
10 feet wide. At this place a station
was cut and a 5x6 Valcan Cleared
hoist was installed for the purpose of
sinking a winze in the footwall. This
winze is now down about so feet. 1t
is our intention to continue this
Wine to a depth Of 100 feet, where
a crosscut will be run and at the
anne time the winze continued down
100 feet deeper without delay for
further prospecting. We are also
drifting from this level on the vein
which is now about 100 feet west of
the winze and on the completion of
another 100 feet a erosscut will be
run at that point. This vein is much
larger than any encountered in the
mine and 1t is our opinion that it will
increase in value in depth.
I'm conclusion, will say on the
whole, that the mine looks as well If
not better than ever, since encoun-
tering the vein on the lower level be-
low the intrusion"
After the meeting of the stockhold-
ers, the directors met and elected the
following officers for the ensuing
year: H. C. Brougher, president; W.
J. Douglass, secretary. and N. Nelson,
superintendent.
