MORE MINERS
At ELY CENTRAL
WORK BEING PUSHED FORWARD
AT STEADY GAIT--CONSTRUC
TION OF PIPE LINE NOW
IN PROGRESS.

Developments at the Ely Central
are going ahead in the most satisfac-
tory manner, and dring the
week more miners were put TO work
in addition to a large gang of men
who were employed on the construc-
ltion of a pipe line which is to be rul
from the Eureka to the Clipper
shaft. At the Eureka they have tie
shaft down to a oepth CT 625 feet,
and to what further depth they are
going to continue is not known. 1t
is possible that they will commence
to run a crosscut to the south and
east to tap the porphyry orebody OF
the steam shovel pit. after the ore
has been proven by the crosscut run
ming south at the 465 foot point.
In the latter working they have
not yet gone through the pyritie
limestone. II has been demonstrate.
that the limestone belt in the Eureka
is much wider than that in the pit.
In the pit there Is exposed only a
thickness of 80 to 100 feet, and i'm
mediately adjoining 1t on the south
is the porphyry ore. In the Eureka
crosscut they have been in the line
stone for more than 100 feet, ard
there is no one who can say that they
may not break into the porphyry at
any time. This Is the feeling of the
management, and the conditions in
the Eureka being identical with those
in the pit, IL looks more and more
reasonable that their judgment is
correct. 1t should be only a few days
at the outside when the crosseut w.'l
penetrate the porphyry ore.
At the Clipper, the west erosscut
yesterday reached the ledge and il is
the intention to continue the cross
cut right through. Drifts will be rup
I'm both directions and the vein thor
oughly explored by raises and winZe
besides. The shaft has passed
through this ledge for more than 100
feet eneountering lunches of com
mercial ore. not only copper, but
good values in gold and silver. J. H.
more than likely that a porphyry
contact will be reached at the end of
the limestone, in the event of which
the Ely Central will have a mine at
this end of the estate comparing
most fayorably with the Eureka.
The strike made In the east or Dss-
cut of the Clipper last week proved
TO be streak, probably a stringer
from the main vein; but certainly
worth following for the reason that
many big mine has opened with "A
stringer. In the exploration of the
Clipper vein Ely central has the
knowledge that they already have
commercial ore in their ground for
this was demonstrated in the shaft
which passed through the ledge for
more than 100 feet.
The pipe line, the construction OF
which was commenced this week, is
TO convey the water from the Eureka
shaft to the Clipper for use in tho
boilers. At present the power at the
Eureka is developed by the water
from the shaft, and there is sufii-
eient to supply both shafts.

No LESSEN|NG
Of ACTIVITY
NOT SO MUCH NOISE AT BIG PIT
But WORK GOES STEADILY
FORWARD-ANOTHER STEAM
SHOVEL ARRIVES.

The second big steam shovel has
arrived at Copper Flat and is now in
use in the steam shovel pit There
has been less noise in the pit this
week from the blasts. for the reason
that the necessity for the rushing out
of ore no longer exists Apparently
there is no falling off in the indus
trious activity in the great workshop
for there seems to be as many men
employed and there is the addition of
the big shovel. Notwithstanding the
curtailment which is in effect as to
output.
But for the matter of that brain
and Drawn are always in motion in
the Copper Flat 1t. While they
may not need ore Low for shipment
at this time, IL is only for a short
time that the reduction output is to
be in force. and In the meantime
hay will be made while the sun
shines. BY this is meant that they
will go on stripping the ore; that Is
removing the overburden and ex-
posing the ore for mining later on.
Ii is the policy of every great enter
prise to keep reserves which can be
used when the actual need for them
arises. AT the concentrator just
enough of the plant is being used to
take care of the output from the pit.
At the same time there are
enough concentrates on hand to keel
the smelter going steadily for two
months If both the pit and the con
centrator were shut down. Catch
those gentlemen napping-oh, no To
be sure If the pit were TO shut down
there would be no work for the con
eentrator. But with plenty of ore in
sight in the pit there is small danger
of either possibility happening. And
just now the great work of the pit,
for the needed daily output e8n De
furnished with ease, Is that of the
big steam shoyels in removing the
oyerburden.
In few days one of the smaller
shovels Is to be transferred to the
Liberty pit, where the work of stlip-
ping the ore will be inaugurated.
Preparations for this have been go-
ing on for months and everything IS
in readiness for the reception of the
busy scoops.

and make all the arrangements for

Mr.. Strehkle from the Lake opera
tions will be continued on a much
