ANOTHER PRODUCER ADDED
TO ESMERALDA COUNTY

The Luning Gold Mines Syndicate
made their first shipment of twenty
five tons to the smelter the eth of June.
This ore was taken from the upper
workings and is not as high grade as
the ore in the lower levels, but will
pay a handsome profit. The values are
in gold, silver and lead. Connections
with the lower level have not been
made and to get this ore out it was
necessary to build slides down the
mountain side and the ore was let
down by a windlass for about a thous-
and feet where it was loaded on to a
drag and hauled down to the foot of
the mountain to the road. A new road
has been made to Luning, reducing the
distance of the hauling to four and a
half miles.
1t is the purpose of the company 20
put in a chute a thousand feet long,
the mountain being so PERCEPTIONS hat
the ore a be landed at the foot of
the mountain without any assistance.
This chute will be arranged so that ii
can take the ore from the upper work.

ECHO w "WHY"

HE AMERICAN MINING CONGRESS- which has been engaged for tn
pst two years. a constant effort to secure the enactment Of a law
j creating a Bureau of Mines, is evidently grding its lons for another
upon the capitol and it seems entirely probable that the effort will
this time result successfully, says the Los Angeles Mining Review. In order
hat III movement may accumulate the greatest weight it is absolutely essen
ta that he metal miners of the West show their interest Tin the pending legi~
alto b supporting the national organization lin a practical way. So far, the
main support has been drawn from hi coal mining interests OF the East.
The agitation for a Bureau or Department of Mines has been in pro-
gess sin one form Dr. another. for the past fifteen years and in that time the
needs of the industry a been forced home in every conceivable way with
out success When the agitation vas started the annual value of the nations
mineralo OUTPUT vas but four hundred millions, while nov it is overt two billions.
This great increase la bee gained a a fearful loss IF natural eources and
at h additional expense Of the lives # tens of thousands of workmen.
The apathy Or anttpathy of the government is ne of those things that nj
mn may understand. Agriculture is represented by a department with n
nual ppropriauons of $l2000O00; there is a department of Commerce and
Labor With financial provision almost as great; while bureaus are maintained
or the benefit of animal industry, forestry corporations. manufactures, fish,
cries. immigration and other less important branches of thu natons business.
And ret the mining industry has been left to shift for itself in spite Of the
fact ta it's Importance in dollars and cents is second only to agriculture
OF the national balance sheet
me opuosnionw which has hitherto met he efforts to secure proper recog.
nuion from tn government is all the more remarkable when it is remembered
tina both parties nav declared in favor OF granting the demand and that

GEO. T. OLIVER AFFlRMS
INNOCENCE in SENATE

The Pitsburg Gazette-Times, Of which Senator Oliver is a princr
pal owner, o June 9Th contained the following special dispatch;
, Washington, ID. c., June 5.-Senator George r. Oliver rose in his
, place in the senate this afternoon and made the following statement:
81 desire to occupy the time of the senate a few minutes to make
, a personal statement.
There appeared this morning in the public pres a dispatch from
Goldfeld, New, stating that certain officers and directors o a Nevada

that the directors and officers sanctioned false bookkeeping in order

NEW COPPER DISTRICT
OPENED NEAR LUCKY BOY

A copper district of great value IS
being opened in the Cat Creek section,
about three miles from Lucky Boy AMI
ten miles from Hawthorne. The prin-
cipal operations are being carried on by
the Nevada Consolidated Nj. & S. con,
pany, under the able management OF
Frank b. House, who has been in Gold
field several days this week. The gen-
eral formation of the country includes
ouartzite, porphyry, andesite, lime and
granite, and it traverscd by a mann
moth ledge known as the Mona, which
development has proven to be ~ feet
in width, and it can be traced on the
surface for two miles.
There are other veins of lesser im-
portance throughout the district, but
the Mona seems to be the mother lode
of this particular section, carrying ex-
eeedingly high values in copper and
substantial values in gold. The Mona
vein stands almost vertical, and ear
ries ore throughout it's entire width,
but the best values are near the west
wall, and separated therefrom by a
heavy streak of blue tale. The high
grade streak averages about II feet
in width, and carries such a prolific
amount of native copper, with masses
of wire copper resembling Mexican
fligree work, that under the pickering
light of candles it becomes a glittering
jewel vault.
The ore has been developed to 3
depth of 612 feet, by tunnels, and has
shown a steady and important increase
in values with each new level that has
been run to acquire increased depth.
On No. / crosscut level the vein has
beer drifted on north and south a
total of 452 feet, the entire work of
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-06-12

drifting Icing in ore of a splendid
quality.
No. 2, OF the "%boarding house =
level, reached the vein at a vertical
depth of 3S1 feet, the crosscut tunnel
being $40 feet long. On this level the
vein has bcen proven to be 10 feet
wide, practically all pay ore, with II
feet of high grade that shows remark
able values in copper and gold, large
masses of the brecciated quartz being
held together by masses and wires Of
native copper. There is SIT feet of
drifting on this level, with uniform
values throughout it's length. The ore
also carries considerable bornite.
The vein has recently been reached
by No. 3 level, at a depth of 612 feet,
and the vein has been crosscut about
90 feet, all in ore, and getting better
as the west wall is approached. M.
House anticipates some very interesting
developments from the present point,
as the high grade streak is just ahead,
and increased depth has at each level
shown decided improvement in values.
There are 30 claims in this group, and
over 1000 feet of development work has
been lone ON other portions of the
ground outside of the main workings.
Alex. Brown, chairman of the state
board of equalization of California is
president of the company, and c. G.
Mathews of San Francisco is secretary.
This company has been quietly de-
veloping their property for the past
four years, and have attempted to avoid
publicity of any kind. They have, how
ever, developed one of the greatest
copper propositions in the state, and
one which can hardly be duplicated in
extent of ore bodies and high average
values. 1t is probable that within the
near future a 3OO-ton smelter will be
projected, and make this property one
of the most important copper and gold
producers in Nevada.

WISCONSIN MEN PUSHING
BIG WORK AT KLONDIKE

Determined to make a big producer
out of the Silver Knight group at Klon.
dixie. a few miles from Goldfeld. the
Marnette-Nevada Mining company Is
now pushing their shaft downward to
reach a depth of 200 feet as quickly as
possible. James Watson, of Marnette,
Wis, president of the company, has
been in Goldfield to arrange for an
energetic campaign of development,
which will include extensive ~crosscut.
ting and drifting after the shaft is 200
feet deep.
The Silver Knight group comprises
six claims and a fraction, and is ira.
versed by an immense ledge, from the
outcrop of which considerable ore has
been shipped, the last carload aver
aging over 1925 a ton. Values are
principally silver, but carry some cop
per and gold. Assays and small lots
have shown as high as 81 0 per ton,
and there are considerable quantities
of ore that will run up to 5000 a ton.
1t is the belief of Mr.. Watson that
the main ore body of that section has
not yet been found, as the ore thus far
encountered is apparently greatly dis
turbed. The company shaft is to be
sunk to a depth of 200 feet and a cross
cut driven to the ledge in the expecta-
ton of finding the ore in place.
The principal development work in
this section has been by tunnels, none
of which have gained owe 80 feet Of
backs, and the lack of depth in devel
opment appears TO be the prime rea.
son for the failure of the lamp Of
klondike to ''make good in keeping
with its splendid surface showing.
Robert Tune of Goldfeld has been
appointed a representative of the Mar
nette-Nevada company, and Raymond
Bailey is in charge of the work at the
property. A power hoist will soon be
installed, and the property thoroughly
equipped for extensive development
At Montezuma the company also
owns eight claims, but no work IS be
ing done on them at present. Ihey
have a perpendicular shaft down Y
feet, and selected values can be OBJ
tanned that will run up to $40. In
crosscut at a depth of AZ feet, the ledge
shows an average oil $3.50 across !
width of ten feet.

cided to secure for the welfare Of is
members.
With this object in view, they ha'e
organized the Rocky Mountain feah'
company with a capitalization OF WV
900 divided into 1000 shares at a P"
value of 800 each. This company hs
been Incorporated in the State OF N'
York and has secured title to lnie'
city lots in 44th street, west OF 0A'
avenue.
For the time being this initial ifan'
action will not be followed by the eo'
struction of any building on the pfe~
Uses, but later a suitable building v"
be erected for the clubhouse. IN
meantime the headquarters OF the :"
will be maintained at the "aia"'

after the connections are made with
the ore at that level, and will land the
ore where it can be taken out bv
horses and avoid the expensive opera
ton of letting the ore down by wind
lass or packing it out.
Before another month the company
expects to have made the connections
with the lower level where the high
grade ore has recently been found. At
present the men are working on the
Robert shaft. They are down over
ifty feet, drifting east and west or the
vein and blocking out the ore and IN q
few weeks they will Save stopping
ground sufficient so that two or three
men can easily take oat a carload of
ore a week at this point. r. B. Todd
is now on his way to Los Angeles with
a view of arranging for their own ~
