compartment shaft on the Ludwig claim
OF the Nevada Douglas company. The
shaft will be sunk alongside the immense
iron Gaping that outcrops on the COM
pany's property and about 200 feet south
east of the present shaft.
This work is presumed to be the fore
runner for extensive operations at the
Ludwig. The present underground
workings have shown the Ludwig to be
one of the greatest high-grade copper
mines in the world. The future plans
for development contemplate the work
ing of force that will number into the
hundreds.
Mr.. Williamson, the noted English en-
gineer who recently inspected the Ne
da-Douglas holdings, has come out
with statement concerning the mines.
Questioned as to his trip to the Neva-
da- Douglas mines, Mr. Williamson said:
II met Mr.. orem, largely by chance, in
Reno, where l had gone direct from
New York early in January. He in
vited ME to accompany him to the Ne
vada- Douglas mines, which invitation I
accepted.
Il spent two days looking over the
property, going all over Douglas hill,
examining the outcroppings and the
tunnel and shaft workings, also going
down into the Ludwig and viewing its
various levels. l was favorably i'm
pressed with the proposition and in say
ing that am putting it with true Eng
lish conservatism.
Before leaving Reno Mr.. Orem
showed me copy of the report on the
property made public year ago by En-
gineer +. P. Jennings, of Salt Lake
City.
II went through this report in hasty

This is rather too good to be true
''But after seeing Nevada Douglas
cannot for one moment think that Mr..
Jennings has overestimated it. On my
return met Mr.. Jennings at lunch and
from my conversation with him and the
esteem in which find him to be held
in Salt Lake City. cannot permit my
self to think that he would be guilty of
wilful exaggeration.
Nevada Douglas has in it the max
ing of one of the largest copper mines
have ever seen. It's surface indications

have never seen anything like it. AS
YOU 20 over the mountain you can see
plenty of copper with the naked eye.
Put shaft down and you will strike
copper anywhere. saw great many
of your specimens of native copper.
""The Jewel Box, which is on the side
of Douglas hill at the extreme opposite
from the Ludwig and near the apex of
the hill, impressed me very much. 1t is
a huge hole of high-grade copper ore
that has been quarried out, entering the
mountain for 40 or so feet to the face.
should think there is easily around a
million dollars of or s per cent copper
ore available in this one working place
alone.
The Nevada Douglas proper should
be able to get the same rich values
throughout the properties that have
characterized the Ludwig. l believe the
Nevada Douglas property will average
as high as the Ludwig.
"When you have railroad and smell
ter it will put the company on a divi-
dend- paying basis-an everlasting div
idend, / should think. 1t ought to pay
20 per cent without any trouble.
I Everything about the management
and the opening up of the mines meets
with my approval. should say that
Nevada Douglas can produce copper as
cheap as it can be made anywhere
tainly not to exceed 8 cents pound.
Nevada Doublas has number of inn
mense vein systems which find the in
dicatious point toward richer ores as they
go down.
"The mines have an UNSURPASSED site
for smelter. They have all the lime
stone they want and the ores are prac-
tically self-fuxing. The conditions
make a concentrating plant unnecessary.
They have good type of air compressor.
"They have all the water they want
and climate which lends itself admir-
