On the 500 level the usual amount
Of Stopping has been done during the
week on the Nevada vein, where
they have about six inches of high
grade milling ore in sight.
The west drift on the Occidental
vein on the 800 level is out 327 feet,
having advanced sixteen feet and
shows twelve inches of good ore.
The slopes along this vein are open
ed up for a distance of 300 feet in
length OF a vein of good grade ore
that averages between twelve and
eighteen inches in width. There is
no material change in the slopes on
the south vein and they are produc-
ing their usual amount of shipping
ore.
On the 1000-foot level the west
drift on the Occidental vein is out
seyenty-four feet with an advance OF
twelve feet for the week. The drift
shows two feet of low grade milling
ore in the face. The west drift on
the south vein is out no feet, adj
yancing sixteen feet and is working
on about five feet of a fair grade
milling ore, For the past few weeks
the work of cutting through the
fault has been in progress at this
point and several days ago the fault
was penetrated and the ore body
picked up again. The ore is all oxi-
died in character and carries the
m values as it dfc before the vein
vas lost. The east crosscut from
a. vein is out 470 feet, having ad-
vanced forty-five feet during the
week. There is no change in the for
nation. This crosscut has about
nifty feet further to 90 before It

The amount of development work
in the Extension is being increased
and now operations in this line are
being done on several places on the
400 and 40 levels. The lodges re-
main the same and still produce
good values. At the west of the 40
level the work of developing will be
continued for some time as it is the
desire of the company to thoroughly
explore that portion of the country.
as very little work has been done
there heretofore.

Surprised at
Nevada Mines

Mark Butler, a prosperous farmer
OF Geneva, Nebraska, who knows all
about farming, but with q vague and
imperfect knowledge of mining, came
here last week to attend the wedding
OF his son, who captured one of Ely's
fairest daughters, and while here was
shown around the district by w. II.
Taylor. The smelter impressed him
with its magnitude and importance,
but failed to convey a money-earning
capacity, as he was moi posted on
percentages OF ore and copper values.
On the following day Copper Flat
was visited and Mr.. Butler timed the
steam shovels and found that they
loaded a 50-ton car in an average of
four minutes. This set him to think
ing and he asked what per sent of
copper the ore carried, and was told
that 1t was about 21s per cent, of
which 2 per cent values were saved
lie then asked what copper was
worth, and vas told that it was now
averaging about 1874 cents, which
was very low for the metal.
Why" said Mr.. Butler, that
makes a carload OF ore worth about
$3.50 and one car can be loaded every
four minutes. You say that sixty
cars is the daily average at the pres
ent time, or an output Of $16,SOO per
day, a total of about $6,172,OOO per
year. Now let me see how this
shovel compares with farming in Ne
braska. One acre Of land will pro
duce about thirty-live bushels of corn,
worth 60 cents per bushel, or S21 per
acre. Now in my county in Ne
braska there are 625 square miles, or
about 100000 acres Say that one
half of that is in cultivation and was
planted to corr last year, that would
bring a total value of $4,000. 900.
leaving a balance in favor of the
steam shovel of nearly $4,000, 900 a
Is that correct?
oh, then there are other mines
producing. the Veteran and the
Giroux. and you say that the Nevada
Con. would now be working two

capacity, and expects to work five or

vestors.
PROFITS OF THE COMPANY.
Through Promotions. L. This
company will furnish a number of
choice mining properties to leading
citizens in various cities of the east,
which properties will be financed by
them and our company will receive
out Of the financing a percentage of
cash and stock.
"A profit will be made by plac-
ing the securities of these
lions through the Desert system of
finance and publicity.
S-This company proposes to act

gineering department should be the

PERSONNEL OF THE COMPANY.
The company is Differed by well
known business men, who propose to
handle mining on strictly CONNER
Ella lines. Its legal affairs will be in
the hands of Campbell, Nelson and
Brown of this city. The department
of engineering will be in charge of
c. II. Mace of Tonopah, with Thomas
II. Hazelrig Of indianapolis, In
diana, and George w. S%turtevant of
Chicago, Illinois, as consulting engi-
neers. The eastern offices will be in
charge of Everett Wagner of Indian
apolis, who has for many years been
vice president and general manager
of the MERIDIAN Trust company of
that city.
1t is a well recognized fact that
when conducted on honest, prudent
economic principles necessary for
success in any other business legiti-
mate mining on an average is more
profitable than any other line OF pro-
ductlVe enterprises. Legitimate COM
mereial mining is a business and not
a gambling venture and should be so
considered.
Owing to the many promotions in
which investors have lost their
money, it is absolutely essential, in
order to place stock of any kind to
have well endorsed propositions and
q strong personnel of reliable men
and then show to the investing public
The projects in detail and how the
moneys are to be expended.
This corporation proposes to do
.hese things and we believe that we
viii not only be doing the citizens of
state of Nevada a great service,
'ut this corporation will pay very
arge dividends to the stockholders.
