ing from one half to three quarters
of a mile. Passing through this zone
are many. parallel lodges which.
wherever development has been
done show values in copper and prec-
ious metal metal to Justify the great
pendlture of money now being made
by the Brunswick people.
"The development so far in the
Brunswick consists of a critical shaft
200 feet in deptn, an incline shaft 100
feet in depth and a crosscut from
the enc of the incline, in which a
Wine is being sunk to a depth of
forty feet. From the mouth of this
winze to the present depth. 40 feet,
in doing development work, six feet
of copper ore has been extracted of
a commercial value of II per cent,
or better, carrying precious values
OF ron 81 to 500 a ton in gold. The
vein has not beer crosscut at this
point and its width is a matter OF
conjecture but at the point from
which the Wine was sunk the vein
shows to be IA feet in width, all com
mercial values, as it is broken with
out any sorting whatever.
THE nature of the ore is one that
will appeal to Smelter people, as it
carries as a vein, iron, lime, copper
and silica, all of hich enter into the
tluXing properties OF copper ores. This
is commonly termed a Se%lf-tiuXing ore
but n the ven that it is necessary
to add other t1uxes than those con-
tanned in the ore itself. tne tinest
bodies of iron and lime are to be OBJ
tanned within a short distance of the
| present Smelter site.
Il do not deem it advisable to
speak on this mine technically as the
ordinary reader is not familiar with
the terms that are used in metallur-
Sy and mining parlance.
THE company has erected upon it's
property a very neat and comfortable
bungalow as well as fine quarters for
the men in which they have all that
pertains to the comfort OF employees.
1t appears to M that tne people
OF Carson City should use their ut
most e~ndeavCrS to further this very
worthy project and lend a helping
hand in this district by the opening
up of other properties in which eq-
.ually good conditions prevail; by so
doing a tonnage of ore can be secur-
ed that will be an inducement Tor
mOneyed men to erect a Smelter at
a point on the Carson river where
conditions are very much simplitied.
both as regards transportation, cleo
trical power, fiuXes and all that tends
to make successful reduction works.
Il cannot give too much credit to
tne mamie in which the work has
been done by the people Interested
in this district and I look upon it as
a field for wonderful possibilities. The
vein as it is opened from the surface
is wavy, but at no point from the
surface to the present depth is it
broken. Tho width OF the vein is
greater at its present or lowest depth
than any other portion, while the val
ues both in copper and precious met
ais is greater as depth is attained.
The amOunt of ore developed SO far.
and from which they can secure fur
Their tonnages by q%uarrying from the
surface Lodges is enough to Justify.
at the present time, the erection of a
80 ton stack, and by prosecuting the
development work upOn the lines as
now laid down it is only a matter
OF a short time until two more units
may be added and thus enable all the
miners operating in that district
to furnish an output equivalent to
running $50 tons a day.
The erection of a smelter would
have the nos stimulating effect i'm.
aginable upon the mining industry OF
his portion of the state, due to the
fact that it enables the ~prospector to
oalize upon a class of ore that he
would be unable to handle under pres.
ent conditions.
This stimulates prospecting and
development in all their various forms
and is an incentive to the ]prospector
to open up new ore reserves; and, by
so doing not only the value
OF his own property but creates an
inquiry from outside capital by which
all the great districts ultimately owe
the present development and condi-
