NEVADA Hills NOW
DRAWING ATTENTION

Charles Knox, one of the best known
capitalists and mining operators of Ne
vada, left Salt Lake City Friday eve-
ming, with a liberal bunch of Nevada
Hills stock, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Mr.. Knox and his associates are
understood to have wound up the
deal yesterday morning, a deal which
Mr.. Knox has been in Salt Lake City
to consummate for the past two
weeks or more.
The details of this deal were not
obtainable yesterday, but Mr.. Knox
succeeded in getting between 10000
and IT'S, 900 shares Of stock from sew
eral of the local stockholders, who nave
reluctantly parted with any of their
holdings in view of the present very
encouraging mine conditions. One who
is close to the company, while admit
ting that the deal was closed, and who
asserted that the control by no means
is taken from the Salt Lakers who have
held the control from t he beginning OF
the Nevada Hills history, he was un-
willing to divulge the names Of Mr..
Knox's associates. 1t is said, however,
that hey represent one of the strongest
financial combinations of the country.
The sale price for the stock Mr.. Knox
corraled could not have been for less
than ST. per share.
The annual meeting of the Nevada
Hills company is to be held on July
2 next, so it should transpire at the
election just who the interests asso-
ciated with Mr.. Knox are. 1t will like
wise demonstrate that some of the old
directors have retained their holdings,
sufficient to make them large factors
in the affairs of the organization. At
the annual meeting the company will
bring up the increase in capitalization
to absorb the Fairview Eagle property
and to line matters up generally SO that
George Wingfeld can be made presi-
dent. Then win begin the installation
of the mill, the management being as
sured of economical electrical power
which will reduce the cost of production
any per cent.

MUCH MONEY BEING SPENT

patents, controlled by the American
Zine, Lead & Smelling company, has
been erected. This is identical with
the one being used by the United
States company in it's plant at Midvale,
which is giving excellent results.
A great many leasers and mine own
ers in southern Nevada have availed
themselves of an opportunity to make
contracts with the Needles plant, and
IS a result the company has sufficient
ore pledged to run it up to its present
capacity. The contracts are favorable
to shippers and a low transportation
rate has also been obtained. rms
makes it possible for producers to mine
proftably ore that runs as low as SO
to the ton. AS a result of this, a great
stimulus t othe mining industry IS
promised for the southern Nevada min
ing camps, and a number of the old
producers will eventually be opened On
a scale that will justify the enlarge
ment of the Needles smelter. The
smelling company claims that it is able
TO make a low treatment charge by
reason of the excellent water power at
the plant. which cuts down the orerat-
ing materially.

In the new Needles smelling and re-
duction plant, the United States Smelt-
ing, Refining & Mining company, will
doubtless have one of the most profit
able works in this country. Certainly
no investment in recent years by this
corporation gives promise of earning
as large profits within a short time
after it is started as does the plant
at Needles. The entire investment
made by this company, including the
purchase of the old plant, and the re-
modelling of the furnaces and mill, is
said to be $1,000, 600. This PROPOSE
ton was taken over only a few months
ago, and the company has already made
all the necessary Improvement and the
plant will be productive within a few
days. The management has shown re-
markable aggressiveness in the rebuild
ing and construction work, and the
furnaces are being prepared to receive
the first charge.
The equipment consists of a 250-ton
concentrating plant and 200-ton fur
naces. 1t is planned to raise this capa-
city to 1000 tons just as fast as custom

GREAT ACTIVITY in
YERINGTON DISTRICT

The work of blocking out Mason
Valley ore bodies for stopping and OF
opening them at additional depth is at
tended by the most satisfactory results
in every respect, according to a state
ment made Monday by General Man
ager Jules Labarthe, who has just re-
turned to Salt Lake City from Yering-
ton. In cutting out sill floors for the
slopes and in driving raises the ore IS
opening at every point fully as good
us expected, while at some points are
found extensions of the ore bodies and
increased values, as compared with an
ticipations.
The new tunnel, which is opening the

600 feet from the surface, is in sui

ed to be encountered. The face of the
tunnel is yet 70 feet from the main ore
body, as indicated by the winze which
is being sunk from the fourth level
The winze is down 20 feet and it is IN
as good ore as ever. The new tunnel
will be connected with the WINE at 10C
feet depth.
Good progress is being made with
preparations for active construction
work upon the new smelter, Mr.. La
barthe reports. Grading is well under
way and temporary buildings have al
ready been constructed on the smelter
site. Drawings are out for the ma
chine shops, blacksmith and carpenter
shops, and plans for the main works
tave reached the stage at which bids
for considerable equipment are being
called for.

MUCH WORK IN THE
SwEARCHLIGHT Mines

ture, says the Searchlight Bulletin.
The Quartette has a full crew en-
ployed and is producing handsomely.
The supply of water has been increased
and a greater number of stamps are
dropping han for q long time. Devel-
opment on the lowest level is reported
to be highly satisfactory.
The New York Searchlight has an
nounced its intention of expanding
100000 in equipping and developing
its property. Preparations are now
under way leading up to the exploita-
ton of the monster vein to the 500
foot level. The company has a model
plant and will add a 20-stamp mill. A
large engine has been ordered and in
the future the entire plant will be OPP
Grated by electricity.
Leasers on the Chief Of the Hills are
cleaning up thousands Of dollars, and
as yet have little more than scratched
this rich property, and hosting plant
has recently been installed and greater
depth will now be obtained.
In this same neighborhood the Sho-
shone is being sunk to the 400-foot
level, the old shaft having first been
%remodeled down to 200 feet.
Crowley and Dulaney, also leasing on
the Chief Of the Hills, are meeting
with success and win soon have another
shipment ready.
The Searchlight is rapidly completing
the r~emodeling Of it's main shaft, 800
feet deep. Following this a new
pumping plant will be installed and
the mine developed to deeper levels
The Spokane is driving eastward on
the 800. West of the shaft on this level
the showing is one Of the best in the
district, and now to the east the shoot
appears to have been picked up. This
property can be counted as a sure pro-
Queer within the year.
The Santa Fe is a continuous oper-
ator in a small way. A good deal Of
development has been done above water
level with fairly encouraging results.
Frequent lenses of pay ore have been
encountered, indicating the usual sue

sumed in the near future.

part of it is caved. For this reason
instead of cleaning out the rubbish
and extending the tunnel the base of

Mr.. Boyle, Is now about 5000 feet long.
The miners have opened up from this

of ore averaging $14.2O per ton, giving
a total estimated value of So, $50, 1000.
This ore carries no zinc, arsenic or 9TH
er deleterious substances. 1t is there
fore an ideal product for smelling.
Need a Railway.
The only drawback in this PROPOSE
ton is this: Ward is eighteen miles
from a railway, consequently the ores
must be wagoned that distance to Ely
and railroaded to the smelters at Muir.
ray, Utah. A smelter at the mines is
not feasible. The cost of through hauls
cuts deeply into the profits. With a
railway near the property Mr.. Boyle
estimates that the difference between
the present cost of haulage by wagon
would amount to at least So per ton.
and this saving alone upon the present
develop tonnage will closely approx
mate the entire capitalization of the
company. All the facts having been
considered the company has under con-
an issue of bonds to cover
the cost of building a railway from
Ward to Ely.
Superior Management.
The affairs of the Nevada United are
under the direction of an executive
composed of Franklin Gutter

operation is under constant supervision.
