TO DIVIDE BULLION
AT NINE

In the case Of Gamble against Han
chett, involving certain profits of the
Pittsburg Silver Peak Mining com.
pany, on trial in Reno, it was agreed
at the suggestion of Judge Pike, that
a man shall be stationed at the mill
of the company as representative of
the court, and divide the bullion as il
comes from the plant, eleven-fifteenths
to go to Gamble and Chadbourne and
four -ffteenths to go to the defendants
This allows the company to proceed
with its operations and avoids the ne
cessity of bond being fled.
Edmond Jusson, general manager OF
the company, was summoned as a wit
ness to tell the court the production OF
the mine for the past seventeen months
and its probable production in the
future.
According to the testimony given by
.Jusson the total production of ore il
tons Of the mine during the past seven
teen months ending April 30, was $3.50,
996, and of this amount 80 per cent
was extracted from the Blair proper

EASTERN EXPERT
VISITS NEVADA

e. M. Skinner, Trippe, Thompson &
Co.'s mining engineer, recently return
ed from 20,O00-mile tour, having Wis
tied every mining district of import
ance on this continent. In speaking
OF his journey to a representative OF
the New York Mining Age, Mr.. Skin
ner has the following to say of Neva
da mines:
While at Goldfield / went through the
Hampton stope of the Goldfield Consoli
dated mine and the figures issued by
the management on the output on this
bonanza ore body were $3.50 for q
width of 35 feet. The ore body was ex
posed for distance of 100 feet on one
level and 80 feet on the other and for
100 feet vertical distance. The man,
agement estimated that in this shoot
alone there is in the neighborhood of
"a, 100000.
At the time of my visit the property
was earning at the rate of about $780,.
900 per month net, and treating ore
averaging $40 per ton.
The other properties investigated
were the Florence and Combination
Fraction.
At Tonopah the Tonopah Mining Co.
was stamping at the rate of about B..
900 tons per week of ore averaging
$3.50 per ton. 1t is said that 90 per
cent extraction is being made. Net
eornings were probably in the neigh
morhood of $4,000 per month.
The company pays high rate of
dividends. The net value of the ore re
serves appears to be of the utmost i'm
portanee, and on this point / was un-
able to obtain any information.
At Yerington / visited the Mason
Valley and Nevada Douglas properties,
both mines showing high grade smelt-
ing ore in sight. The camp has taken
or new life, and the town of Mason is
rapidly growing. A railroad line is be-
ing constructed from Wabuska to Ma
son City, the Mason Valley and Ne
ada-Donglas mines.

TO INCREASE CAPACITY
OF CARSON CITY MINT


superintendent Colcord, Of the Unit
ed States Assay Office at Carson CITY,
has received word that he should put IN
his requisition for three new gas fur
naces, with blowers, motors and other
machinery needed for their operation.
These furnaces will take the place of
the old coke furnaces. Iwo Of the old
furnaces will be dismantled and one re-
tanned for emergencies. The new fur.
naces will be installed as rapidly Al
possible. The blowerr will be run by
electricity, and it will be possible to do
in twenty minutes the work that now
requires an hour and half, thereby
doubling the capacity of the assay Of
fee about twice. Two additional men
will be required and will be provided.
The Office handled last month about
100000 worth of bullion, and would
have handled about three times a.
much had it not been for the unfor-
tunate fact that the furnaces are not
large enough for the work required in
this state. Superintendent Colcord
asked for these improvements some
months ago, when the Goldfeld Consol-
idated shipment of 100000 worth OF
bullion was transferred because the
superintendent had no facilities for
working it.
