This company has just established
a line between Norfolk and Washing

ONE HUNDRED
FEET Of COPPER
Third Level Below Tunnel in
Western Nevada Is Show
ing Up SensationaIly.

Manager Norris N. Johnson Of the
Western Nevada Copper company's mines
at Yerington, says that nothing but the
best kind Of reports are being received
from the property. On the 50-fOot level
below the tunnel, a cross-cut was sent
through eighty feet of ore that sampled
~ per cent copper. At that point the
lime made its appearance and IL seemed
as though the width of the ore body had
been determined.
II was decided, however, to continue the
crOss-cut for q distance and see what
the country in that direction looked like,
Manager johnson having a notion that
more ore would be found. In this nc
was not mistaken for, after driving few
feet, the ore came in again and the last
reports from the mine said that twenty
feet of rich ore had been opened up on
the other side of the lime slip. In other
words, the 800 level now discloses an ore
body 100 feet wide that is Of a splendid
smelling grade.
In this respect the Western Nevada
companys property is behaving in much
the same manner as is that Of the Mason
Valley company, namely. as depth is at
tanned the ore bodies are expanding and
growing richer with everything TO indi-
cate that the present workings are on top
of one of the greatest deposits of fine
copper ore imaginable.

IRON BLOSSOM WORKINGS
SHOW BETTER CONDITIONS

Reports from the Iron Blossom com

OF most assuring nature. While the
showing in the fourth raise from the south
cross-cut in the north shaft workings was
not looking as we'll as the MANAGEMENT
would liked to have seen il few
days ago. and while the face of the cross
cut itself might have looked better, Su-
perintendent Roundy is reported to have
said in answer to questions over the long
distance phone that a material change for
the better had taken place and that II
now seemed certain the fissure was 60
ing to continue on south from the cross
break and carry the ore.
At the same time. that portion Of the
fissure that has been opened north Of the
break is looking splendid and approxf-
mately 100 tons of fine shipping ore is
being mined daily without trouble.

Of the listing of the stock on the New

The company has no bonded indebted
ness, excepting that some of its proper
ties were purchased subject TO a mort
gage securing $4,000 of bonds executed
BY a former owner.
The report of Henry Crumb, the COM
pauy's consulting engineer, made in De
cember last, is then quoted from as fol-
lows:
THE. genesis Of this ore deposit is SINH
lar 10 that of the Utah Copper company
at Bingham. Utah, the Nevada COnsOh-
dated and the CumDerland-Ely at Ely,
New, and the Ray Consolidated at Ray,
Ariz. There are about 900 feet of de
Velopment work in three tunnels on the
Clipper Caravel and Americas claims.
The Clipper tunnel is entirely in the up
per oxidized zone. Considerable carbon
ate copper ore is exposed in this tunnel
and is said 10 average 2lz per cent TO
per cent copper.
The WoOdson tunnel is seventy-five
feet lower than the Clipper tunnel, and
has entered the top of the sulphide zone.
a raise connecting the WoOdson and the
Clipper tunnels shows that the sulphides
extend only about twenty feet above the
WoodsOn tunnel The ore in this latter
tunnel still shows considerable OXidiza-
tion and teaching and is not Of as high

grade as the ores in the wines from
this tunnel
The last 1e5 feet driven in the Wood
son tunnel averaged 1-s9 per cent copper
vertical Wine sunk from this tunnel
TO a depth of eighty feet, averaged 209
per cent copper. and an incline Wine
drizen for an incline distance of 100 feet
averaged for the last 10 feet 221 per cent
copper.
''The ore is an ideal concentrating ore
Probably 40 per cent of the copper values
occur in small assures or seams and the
balance Of the values occur disseminated
through the rock in comparative coarse
specks of chalcOcite The ore will there
fore not have to be crushed as fine as in
the case of some Of the other dissent
mated copper deposits. Without making
tests, / should estimate that the ore should
concentrate about twenty into one.
The company owns twentythree claims
having total area of roughly 800 acres,
covering 100 feet along the strike of the
disseminated copper mineral belt west of
Globe. This belt has a total length of
roughly 10000 feet.
The Miami Copper company is located
in the eastern end of this belt and in the
Red Rock shaft, located go feet from
the end line Of the Inspiration, they have
developed 100000 tons of ore Five
thousand feet west Of the Miami, the In
spiratiOn, in its WOOdsOn tunnel has
struck the sulphide zone and developed
ore averaging 210 per cent copper. In
passing over the surface from the Miami
to the WoodsOn tunnel and 1900 feet hey
ond. the mineral belt is seen to be con-
tinuous, and the surface indications on
the Inspiration are the same. and fully
as favorable as they are on the Miami.
In conclusion 1 may therefore say that
with these favorable surface indications.
together with the fact that sulphide ores
of pay grade have already been developed
in the WOOdsOn tunnel. and the large
body of ore developed by the Miami in its
Red Rock shaft, all these facts make the
Inspiration an unusually promising prop
ertv."
About 100 additional acres of valuable
ground adjoining the above have been
acquired by the company since Mr.. CTumb
made his report
