y tons at the end OF this month of
September, while it's production of
blister copper for the month will be
in excess in all likelihood of $780,
900 pounds, in comparison with
much less than a million pounds
during its first month of production,
July of last year.
:, GAINS FOR MANY YEARS.
More than this. the camp has op-
ened the way for production during
the approaching month of six million
or more pounds of copper, with the
certainty ahead that both the reduc-
ton works and the mines will be
equal for a period of years to stead
lily continue the gains in output
which have marked each succeeding
month since the blowing in of the
reduction works at McGill.
- STORY OF GREAT WORK.
: Such accomplishments as tho
above, when it Is considered that
three years ago Nevada had practic-
ally 10 copper production, a mere
matter of a few hundred thousand
pounds cleaned from occasional Gus
tom shippers, and that since the date
of breaking ground for the great re-
duction works here in McGiil, hun
dreds of thousands of tons of steel.
lumber, other materials and machln-
cry ag%gregating a total cost of mil
lions of dollars, have been brought
from great distances, the nearest &C
cessible market for ever a machin-
cry part at the beginning three hun-
dred miles distant at Salt Lake
such accomplishment with the my
Rad difficulties to overcome in the
desert distant from any regular
source of sufficient supply of labor
and materials, the News believes
gives abundant ground for the enter
tainment of confidence that the Ely
camp is a great one, a wonder In
mining history and entitled to the
consideration of a visit from all min
ing men who may come to Goldfeld
this week and can find the time to
extend their trip a little further to
include the greatest copper camp as
we'll as the greatest gold camp in the
itinerary of this years mining con-
gress.
MUST BE DONE.
The Ely district welcomes all visi-
tors and will be particularly glad of
the coming of such as may find it
sufficiently attractive al SO near a
point as Goldfeld to extend their
travel TO see the big copper camp
and it's many interesting and some
unprecedented records of work. AS
briefly indicated in wha. mas been
said before, the work here has been
on a gigantic scale and will continue
so for a very long period. There
are millions of tons of ore blocked
out at the present time by churn
drill holes which it will require long
years of future effort to mine n
smelt, while there is in sight today
a sufficient amount of blocked out
ore to determine that the present
enormous reduction works, crushing
their 5000 tons of ore daily, must
continue to be expanded IN capacity
as rapidly as possible, in order that
the fullest economic operation may
be obtained, until 10000 tons of ore
or more are being mined and milled
daily.
SEE TO UNDERSTAND.
How enormous these fgures are
and how gigantic the mining and re-
QuctlOnS WOrK is IL Will ,COHlluue W
be, can only be realized by a per-
sonal inspection of these operations
and of the developed resources from
which the camp is able at the pres
ent time to remove and reduce vast
tonnages Of ore without making
seeming inroads upon the reserves.
Also the manne of operation must
be seen before the mining man with
interest in this manner of work and
. investment can appreciate the rea-
sons for the low costs which the Ne
vada Consolidated and Cumberland
Ely Copper companies and the Step
toe Valley Smelling company have
been able to attain in the camp and
which they are sure of being able to
maintain with the prevalence of the
low cost conditions which the man.
ner of their ore deposits and their
suficiency of transportation, water
and machinery equipment assures
for indefinite period.
