Ely, July Increase in mine pro
duction by Nevada Consolidated and
Cumberland Ely brought the average
daily shipment during the last week to
near 5000 tons a day. The Steptoe Val
ley reduction works of these companies
are getting away with this ore output
as delivered at the concentration, the
three units of which are handling close
to 1000 tons of ore each daily.
Big Gain in Mill.
1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago the News noted the fact
that shipments had reached the record,
at that time, of 5000 tons per day and
pointed to the fact that in getting away
with this tonnage the concentration was
exceedingly its planned capacity by
about 800 ton a day. 1t is now tx
ceeding the original expectations by
about 1900 tons a day and it still does
not look as if the limit had been reach
ed. The second deck over the first
Wiley floor and the Garfield Chilean
mills installed to handle the product
of the second deck Wiley s, of course
have had important part in raising
both the capacity and efficiency of the
plant and represent additional equip
ment to that originally installed. But
regardless of this gain in the mill ia
%cilities, the original installations Of
machinery are doing much more than
was expected from them.
June Production.
The middle of the month, copper pro.
duction for June had reached 2,600,0 600
pounds. Unless work is interfered with
during the last of the month in some
unexpected manner 100000 pounds of
copper will readily be made. Should
there be a straight away run with ac-
compartment of the smoothness Of ope-
ration that has to this time prevailed

WORE LITIGATION In SIGHT
FOR COMSTOCK GOLDEN GATE

cause of this fact, it is claimed that
the minority stockholders met at
Seattle and passed q resolution au-
tborizing a committee, then appointed,
to begin action in the courts to remove
control of the corporation from the ma
iority. About the time the commlttee
was to bring it's action, it is alleged
a compromise was made whereby the
defendants agreed to sell to the min
ority stockholders 425,OOO shares d
their stock for a consideration. OF $780,
900. This would have given the min
oritv holders a majority of the shares,
and was satisfactory.
When the representatives from the
Seattle meeting came to San Fran
cisco to close the compromise deal, ~
is alleged, the 425,O00 shares OF stock
were turned over, through an agent, TO
the Federal Trust company, as trustee,
and the first payment of the $oo,ooo
made to the sellers.
Afterward, it is claimed the MAJOR
ity refused to carry through the deal,
and the minority in today's suit seeks
TO enioin the majority from voting the
stock, and for an order competing
them TO turn over the full number OF
shares, and to account for some thou
sands of dollars, the exact sum being
unknown. which it is alleged they have
been defrauded out of.

THINKS HE HAS
FOUND ANOTHER LUCKY BOY

Johnnie Miller and a %coterie of asso-
eiates have acquired a couple of prop
critics at the crest of Mount Corey, some
eight miles from Lucky Boy, one of
which, Mr.. Miller predicts, will be a
second Lucky Boy in the production of
silver-lea ores. He says they have a
finch silver-lead vein opened up close
to the surface, which will assay around
5000 to the ton.
The second property secured By Mr..
Miller and associates, is on old gold
workings, and is a fine milling PROPOSE
ton. They have a vein of free milling
ore opened up in a shallow workings
from 3 to 4 feet wide on this property,
which gives assay returns, from a break

ALLEGHANY IS PROSPEROUS
SAYS OWNER OF 16 TO

Nevada City, CAL, June Boz. II.
Wilson, owner of the Sixteen-to-One
mine, Bonanza King, Wonder and other
mines in the Allegheny district, ar
rived in Nevada City a f,w days ago,
after spending a brief time looking over
his properties. Speaking of the condi-
tions at Allegheny, Mr.. Wilson said to-
day:
"Alleghary is the most prosperous
place which / know of on the Pacific
coast today. Everything is humming
up there. We are still taking out the
rich ore from the Sixteen-to-One. We
have already gone about 1l5 feet
through the bonanza without any di-
munition in the size or character OF
the vein. We are now engaged In do
ing some prospecting in the rich ore.
The miners are stopping a little to show
that the vein is going up and down.
"The Eldorado still keeps up its lick
and is turning out the rich ore from
the shoot which was discovered a short
time ago. H. l.. Johnson is doing
some wonderful work there and Al
leghany is under a debt of obligation
to him which it will be difficult to re
pay. At the Rainbow mine the shoot
continues with unabated richness an6
the property has a great future
Everybody who wants to work is be
ing employed at Allegheny, and there
is not another camp in the Unites
! States that has a brighter future"
Accompanying Mr.. Wilson to Al
leghany was p. II. Mckenzie, one o.
the prominent mining engineers of tn
Pacific coast. Mr.. Mckenzie repre-
sents Gardner and Brownie of Ne'
York and Paris, two of the bigges
mine operators in the world. This frn
has been attracted to Allegheny an
it wired Mr.. Mckenzie, who makes hi
headquarters in Salt Lake, to 60 to Al
leghany and make an examination o.
the district and report to the main OF
fee. This he is now doing, and viii
remain in the district for several day
to complete his work.

ANAL GAMATED COMPANY HAS
SOLD IT'S SURPLUS COPPER

months promises to absorb most, II not
all. of the current output. The July l
figures should show a large reduction
in the copper on hand, and the August

This indicates that the A~malgamat-
ed company as well as the other large
producers of copper have been hnding

in the last month.
The movement toward the wipin2
out of the stocks of copper in the hands
of producers began in May and is re-
Hected in the Copper Producers asso-
citation figures recently made public
These showed a reduction of 1~3,349,932
pounds in the stock of copper in the
hands of the producers, bringing the
stocks down to 169,84S,14l pounds. Fol-
the first four months of the year the
production exceeded the consumption
but the tide turned in May, when
against an output of 1885, LAG pounds
the consumption amounted to III, 706,
O7S pounds. Since the end of January
there has been a steady increase II
the consumption of copper, and last
month consumption caught up with
and exceeded production.

AROUND LUCKY BOY
Ia ARE OPENING MORE RICH ORE

not merely conjecture, for a rapidly
glo~ing pile of very rich ore is makins
its way into the sacks at the lease. The
hoist and frame on the McAfee is in
place and this week will see the ex.
ploration of the McAfee ground begun
in earnest, and the result is liable to
surprise ever such an "old timer" as
Ross Condor.
Collins Mitchell Z Fairfield.
The Collins Mitchell Fairfield lease
on the Lucky Boy estate is being work
ed in a most energetic manner under
the management of Mr.. Mitchell. The
Collins shaft, next to the Hubbard
lease bonanza, has reached a depth of
29O feet and the management contem-
plates continuing the workings to a yet
greater depth before any lateral work
is undertaken. The shaft is being sunk
on the hanging wall of the vein and
no ore, at present, is being taken out,
but along the foot wall they have had
Cor quite a distance, a vein of silver
lead, that has averaged from 4 to IL
inches, which will be broken down at
a later date.
On their lease, which is known as the
Lucky Boy Exploration company and
which is also being worked by Messrs.
Mitchell and Fairfield, the shaft has
reached a depth of around 200 feet.
There are two 25-h. p. hoists doing
work on these properties and a 10-drill
compressor with a 1OO-h. p. engine to
pull the same, is being installed pre-
paratorv to entering a most aggressive
campaign.
In all, Messrs. Mitchell and Fairfield
are working about 40 men, and this
number will be materially increased
when the extraction of ore begins.
The Spencer Lease.
The Spencer lease people are making
preparations to install a Ssh. p. hoist
on their property and which has just
arrived. Their shaft has reached a
depth of $40 feet and it will be contin-
ued on to the 350-foot level before they
will start in to drift on the vein.
There is at present some one and one
half feet of vein matter showing up in
the shaft at $40 feet of depth, which
carries about II inches of picture rock
the foot wall of the vein.

Announcement.
The Pittsburg-Silver Peak Gold Min

is prepared to buy gold-silver ores, pro-
vided such ores are amenable to treat

The right of rejecting all tenders OF

1t matters not what the motives
actuating this may be, the fact remains
that the announcement as made above,
is a splendid thing for this section, and
will assist very materially in the de
velopment of the district. There arr
many prospects having a considerable
quantity of rock that the company, BY
it's process of treatment, can handle
and return the owners sufficient casl
to continue work and enable them, pos
sibly, to develop a winner. There are
many prospects having a base ore which
it will be a waste of time and money
to attempt to treat without concentra
ting, but the above announcement
should bring many thousands of dol
lars to claim-owners in the vicinity
and the company is to be commended
in it's efforts to develop other holding
than it's own.
