INCREASED OUTPUT

Last month output of copper by the
Nevada Consolidated and Cumberland
Ely properties, through the reduction
works of the Steptoe Valley Smelling
& Mining company, as shown by their
reports, only missed by a small margin
the 1000, 000-pound mark. 1t is esti-
mated that the output for the present
month will greatly exceed that of last
month, as the plant is being operated in
a much more satisfactory manner, and
will have, to heal from, another section,
the fifth, into which the water was
turned last week. This section will be
ready for continuous work some time
during the present week.
Work in the mine is said to be only
dependent upon the demands of the re-
duetion works, as it is asserted that
there is plenty of ore in sight and ready
to take out to supply all the demands
that are likely to be made by the smell
tiers.

GOLDEN ARROW

The News is in receipt of a map of
Golden Arrow, prepared by Carl Z.
Smith, deputy mineral surveyor, who
has made Olmstead & Rich his agents.
The map is the first real tracing that
has been made of the claims in that
district.
Golden Arrow is situated forty miles
east by northeast from Goldfield in the
Kawich range. There is considerable
development work in progress in that
camp at present. A custom stamp mill
has been established four miles distant
in Halves canyon and is plentifully sup
piled with ore. The most extensive
work is being carried on in the Cotter
property, which is equipped with a
hoist. There is every evidence that
there will be a considerable boom in
that section before long, especially if
the proposed Ely-Goldfeld railroad is
built.

BIG STRIKE MADE in
A MINE AT CHAFEY

Barber and Lang Syne canyons and inn
mediately on the divide between the
two.
1t is generally conceded by mining
men who have examined this part of
the Chafey district that the placer gold
which was taken out of the gulch be-
low by the Cinnamon in the early days
of this district came from the east side
of this range There is but little doubt
that this ledge which is worked by the
present owners was the ~provider of the
riches extracted from the gravels at
that time. for the reason that for a dis
lance of $500 feet in a notherly diree-
tion average samples across this 25-foot
ledge for the entire distance give values
averaging 81 per ton. The ledge, as
this evidence goes to show, is rich be-
yond ordinary computation. 1t runs
northerly and So terly and borders
Barber canyon its entire length.
Mr.. O,Brien is expecting the Grutt
brothers here the early part of next
week when the plan of development will
be carefully considered and one of the
projects will no doubt be the erection
of a mill to treat the ores.

mems he exhibits to his friends bearing
out his statement.
When the 800 level is reached cross
cutting to the main ledge will begin.
1t will require about 30 feet of work
to encounter the ledge, provided it
keeps the dip from the surface, and
when it is encountered the superin-
tended expects to begin sacking and
shipping the best copper ~sulphides ever
found in the district.
Should Mr.. Bessler's prophesy prove
true the old Montezuma district will
speedily return to its own, because in
the days of near a half century age
hundreds of thousands of dollars in rich
ore were extracted from the Caracas
and other mines and hauled by oxen
more than a hundred miles to be milled
or shipped to Swansea, Wales.

The Chafcy News says: W.. s.
O'Brien, superintendent and part own
er of the Old Man group, in which the
we'll known Grutt brothers of Rawhidc
recently purchased an interest, arrived
in Chafey Thursday evening with the
report that in prosecuting a ledge
forty-fve feet wide was uncovered,
from which rich paintings can be OBJ
tanned clear across its entire width. An
average sample taken across the first
twenty-five feet gave the remarkable
returns of $33 per ton, while the re-
naming twenty-three feet pans the
whole width, showing values even
greater than the first section. Up to
the present time neither wall has been
encountered and the real width of the
vein can only be conjectured. The man
agement will continue prosecuting in
an endeavor to locate one or both
walls. BY running a drift into the hill
at this point a depth of 500 feet in the
ledge can b. obtained which will un-
doubtedly be one of the largest bodies
of milling ore even discovered in this
district. The place where this vein is
located is at the extreme head of

SPLENDID SPECIAL EDITION

Claude Sachs, editor of the Denver
Mining Investor, visited Goldfeld a
fortnight ago and during his brief stay
he was the busiest man that ever came
to Goldfeld, for, during his stay, he
took notes and photographs that re-
suited in the best writeup of the dis
trict that has appeared for many a day,
if ever. Copies of the special edition
are in demand and everybody men
toned is trying to find n to send to a
friend. The Denver Mining Investor is a
loyal friend of Goldfield and The News
feels complimented that Mr.. Sachs clips
weekly, with credits, the mining news
of the camp from this paper. Owing
to the dull season, just preceding cleo
ton, the special edition was probably
not profitable to the Investor, but 1T
certainly has been a big boost for Gold
field.

The news from the Broken Hills mine
during the week continues to be of the
most favorable character. The re-
markable output from the new vertical
shaft continues as it has during the
previous two weeks, all of the ore for
eight feet being of a grade to allow it
to go into the sacks. Sinking on this
ore was started during the week, and
while this may prevent the extraction
of as large a tonnage for the next week
or two, it will later permit of a much
greater output. Two ears were sam
pied by the Western Ore Purchasing
company it Millers yesterday, but the
assays cannot be determined in time for
this issue. From the mine samples it
is believed that the shipment will run
close to $500 per ton. These two cars
contained clsse to fifty tons, and is

yesterday opened up rock showing
good paintings. +. W.. Chambers of the
Western Ore Purchasing company will
start work ON block Is as soon as he
can get the necessary equipment on the

On Thursday and Friday an unusual
boom spread to the new townsite, which
is located on Broken Hills ground, and
nearly all of the remaining lots on Main
street were sold, man yof them being
taken by Goldfeld and Tonopah bust
ness people. Lots which sold for 800
the first of the week, were bringing
from $500 to $500, and some of them
were being held as high as $500. This
demand for lots was heightened by the
reporter: discovery of pay ore some
three miles north.

RAwHIDE DAISY

A number of inquiries have been re-
ceived by The News regarding the
Rawhide Daisy. Pending a complete
report, which will be received in a few
days, the following general facts are
given:
The Daisy shaft is now down 255
feet. 1t was the original intention of
the owners to drift on the 250-foot
level, but a body of quartz was en-
countered at that point, which it was
deemed best to penetrate in the shaft.
Assays as high as $40 are being OBJ
tanned. The property is equipped with
a twenty-five horsepower hoist.

Daniel Besslcr, superintendent of the

The contractors began operations. The
