a band of religious fanatics who have
been holding forth for a week or 10
days in the German church, their DEM

within the edifice a Moline man in

men who have been conducting the

be supplied at once. These improve
ments had been recommended by the
superintendent and concurred in at the
home office in Newark, N. j..
There has been no cessation of work
during the hot season. Freedom and
Erwin have about completed a contract
to extend the tunnel on the Dixey Girl
claim a distance of go feet, which will
make a total length of It's feet. The
same contractors may continue on the
other work.
The last and most important work
was drifting with the ledge with a view
of cutting the rich ore shoot hat crops
on the surface some 125 feet above.
There has recently been a considerable
increase in values; also serpentine
gouge has been coming in and a gen
orally favorable formation.
Grading for Mill
The persistent reports of some time
back of highly satisfactory results be-
ing obtained at the Lloyd-Searehlight
property at Camp Thurman, have most
substantial confirmation this week in
the news that grading is in progress for
a stamp mill. 1t is to be of about ten
tons daily capacity, a size which, ac-
cording to the best informed, is we'll
suited to work the free ores at least
down to the 200 level. 1t is moi known
how much deeper they extend.
Such a plant may be expected to de.
fray the cost of much future develop
ment, beside yielding a profit. Also, in
no sense would it be a burdensome
item of expense when later it must give
place to one of larger capacity and pos
sibly of a different type incident to ore
changes that may be expected.

The Duplex l~easers, Clayton & Crit
enden, working above the 200 level on
the New Years Gift, rave come into
their own-the rich reward that follows
logged perseverance united to the best
order of mining, says the Bulletin.
They are drifting both east and west
at the 150-foot level on IA inches of ore
that averages $40 in gold. In ten
to twenty days hence the workmen on
the 200 level will cut into the same ore.
A little later still another cut will be
made midway between the 150-foot
level and the surface. 1t will then
mean stopping ground on three levels.
Further, that each miner will be able
to break down better than two tons
daily. Assuming that there is a net
profit of but per ton, it is some business.
Start Up the Mizpah
A. X. Wright of the Mizpah com
pany arrived last Saturday after n
months outing on the coast. He
preached Sunday from the veranda of
the Kennedy House, as is his wont
when affairs will permit. AS sual there
was a large attendance.
The following day, Monday, he jour
neyed on to Mob Hill and set the wheels
going for a long period of activity on
the Miizpah. He has made considerable
progress in development in a few
months time. A depth of 1877 feet has
becn gained and considerable lateral
work. Already there has been much
fine ore encountered and it will cause
surprise if the next 80 days. work does
not show results that will line up with
the shippers or to a point to demand its
own reduction plant.

NEVADA WILL POSSESS
WORLDS LARGEST SHELTER

Contracts are to be let next week for
the commencement of work on the
fourth unit of the concentration at
Shelter. The word was received yes
terday by telegraph from the New York
Office of the company to let contracts
for the excavations required for the
foundations on which work is to start
next Wednesday, says the Ely Elk
positor.
The grading contractors are now here
figuring on the excavation work and
are ready to start at once. s
There are 1850 men on the payrolls
at the smelter at this time and the new
work will demand the employment of
several hundred more.
The first section of the second unit is
completed and the other section will
be in another week. The third unit
will be completed in about six weeks.
The plant is now outputting blister
copper at the rate of fifteen tons a day
or about l0,sO0,0OO pounds a year. The
capacity of the reverberatory furnaces
is equivalent to a concentration capacity
of 1000 tons of crude ore a day.
The building of the fourth unit will
be only a continuation of the plans to
make the Steptoe plant the largest in
the world and it's erection will not
mark the completion of the plant to its
maximum size but the enlargement will
20 ahead until that is accomplished.

A vigorous campaign of operation
will soon be on at the Ramsey-Com-
stock mine, says the Recorder. Every
thing is in readiness for the daily ex'
traction of a large quantity of ore and
Mt the same time lower the workings to
greater depths, where a greater ton
mage may be blocked out. Development
of the property will be under the su-
pervision of II. c. Cutler, who is con-
sulting engineer of the mine and who
holds a like position in other properties
belonging to wingield and Nixon. In
the neal future a large force of men
will be under employment, oecasioned
by the operation of the mill, which will
require a daily supply of 30 tons. At
the same time more ore will have to be
developed.
The Ramsey Comstock mine ranks
with the big ones of the state and it
viii only be a short time until the regu-
lar production of gold bullion will keep
it prominently before the public.
New Comstock
Continued changes are noted as pro
aress is made in the shaft at the New
Comstock mine. Quartz veins are
found in the porphyritic formation of
greater or less width and in some in
stances very high values obtain in the
ore. These numerous veins are no
doubt feeders for the main quartz ledge,
near the west wall of the dyke and go
to indicate that a great deposit of ore
will be uncovered when prosecuting is
resorted to al the 1O0-foot level. Some
drifting will be done toward the north
east before the crosscut is started,
enough at any rate to bring the work
ings well under the hill, across the

SOME LAW POINTS
ON PLACER CLAIMS

In view of the fact that placer min
ing is becoming the vogue in favored
sections of Southern Nevada, the fol
lowing from al exchange, may prove of
interest:
There is an important distinction be-
tween an association claim of 100 acres
taken as such by eight individuals and
the consolidation of eight locations
which have been taken up as eight sep
arate claims. 1t may seem unjust that
the association claim of 100 acres re-
quires but 800 worth of work. while n
consolidation of eight claims into one
company requires $500 worth of work,
but such is the law.
Work need not be lone ON each 20
acre tract of a location embracing 100
acres made by an association. for the
appropriation of 100 acres by eight as
soeiated persons is accomplished by on
location. An illustration of another
phase of this portion of the mining law
is'found in the fact that a quartz claim
15o0x600 feet requires 800 worth of
annual labor, but a fractional claim of
much smaller dimensions requires as
much labor as a full sized claim.
"The volume of work. SAYS Lind
ley on Mines, lis not gagged by the
size of the claim located. There is no
sliding scale adjusting the matter ac-
cording to area. In determining, there
fore, the amount of annual work to be
performed in connection with an ag-
gregation of locations, zach location is
to be considered as a claim within the
meaning of the law, regardless of the
superficial area comprised in any one
or more of Them"
