RESUME WORK IN ZACK SHAFT
Ely Consolidated People Going
Forward With Operations.

Operations have been resumed in
the Zack shaft of the Ely Consolida-
ted under auspices which bid fair TO
see a good mine developed In that
portion of the property. 1t was on
the advice of the new manager. Mr..
Quinn. that the work was started in
the shaft. and to continue IL means
the installation of n pumping plant.
In the Zaek they are down to the
400-foot level, and when operations
were abandoned there on account
of encountering water, they were in
a promising contact of the lime and
porphyry. The ore went as high as
As per cent copper and shipment
was made which averaged Is per
cent. 1t is the belief of the manage
ment that they are going to find n
continuation of this ore with depth
and 1t is the intention of sinking
another 100 feet
In the Brilliant shaft of the same
company they have gone about as far
as possible to go without the addi-
tion of pumping plant; and in the
Brilliant they have been in the most
encouraging country of all their
properties. Besides getting an
average of five per cent copper they
have been taking out splendid values
in gold and silver. With develop
ment, Ely Consolidated has every
promise of Joining the big producers

BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEET.
Officers Are Elected for Ely CONNER
cial League.

The first meeting of the board of
governors of the recently organized
Ely Commercial League was held last
Thursday evening when the board
met and elected officers for the en-
suing year, fixed the amount of the
initiation fee and monthly dues of
regular and associate members and
discussed matters pertaining to the
work of the league in general.

monthly dues of $500, and initiation
fee for associate members, $500 with
monthly dues of $1.00.
A committee was appointed to
take up the matter of securing MEM
bers and getting funds with which
to begin the work outlined and to
recommend some one for the position
of secretary at the next meeting
The board then adjourned until
the committee has completed the
work assigned to 1t and when this Is
completed and all matters as thus
outlined have been arranged satis-
faetorily, 1t is the purpose of the
board of governors to call a meeting

DEATH OF FRANK SMITH
At ALTA, CALIFORNIA

General Manager Arthur Smith, of
the Ely securities company, return
ed to East Ely Friday evening from
California. where he was called
earlier in the week by a message con-
veying the intelligence of the serious
illness of his brother, Frank Smith,
who died before he reached his bed
side.
Frank Smith was well known to
many in this district who had as
sociated with him on the Mother
Lode and in the far north, and who
will learn of his death with a pang
of regret. Deceased went TO Alaska
in 1895 where he remained ten years
and where he held several respon-
sible positions. He was marshal of
Dawson during the exciting days of
the gold rush and had charge of the
town detachment of mounted police
and won high praise for the manner
in which he performed his official
duties. He was a perfect specimen
of manhood physically but the rigors
and exposure of years in the ice
fields of the northland undermined
his constitution, the lung trouble
contracted there ending in his death
at Alta, California, on August s.
1910, at the age of thirty-eight years.
The remains were laid to rest in the
beautiful cemetery at Auburn on
Thursday. He leaves two sisters and
three brothers to mourn his untimely
death.

PROGRESS At
ELY CENTRAL
FIND IN CLIPPER SHAFT THAT
WILL HAVE IMPORTANT BEAR
ING ON THAT PART OF THE
ESTATE.

Fate seems to be dropping favofs
into the lap of the Ely Central
While in the Eureka workings they
have the imminent prospect of en-
countering the continuation of the
orebody of the steam shovel pit of
Nevada Consolidated, they have just
Unexpectedly run into something en-
tirely new in their Clipper shaft. In
the Clipper they are running two
crosscuts. one to the west and the
other to the east. The former is be-
ing driven for the purpose of cuttins
the big ledge through which the shaft
passes for more than a hundred feet !:
the cut to the east was started as a
prospect to explore the country in
that direction to determine what they
had in the ground between the shaft
and the steam shovel pit.
Coming out of the pit to the north
and west is an immense iron cap
which is expected in the railroad cut
for width of 80 feet. This dixie
makes Its way through the Clipper
ground and crops strongly in various
places. 1t is too early to determine
just what the find in the Clipper
amounts to, and it is immateri u
whether they have run into a shoot
of the dixie; for the fact remains
that they have encountered some
thing which will have an important
bearing on that part of the estate
Samples of the find were sent into
Ely on Friday, and the result of the
assay was $1.09 in gold and Loo in
copper.
This is commercial ore, and at the
shallow depth at which il is found,
1t should be worked at good profit.
The crosscuts were started at a deptn
OF 22O feet, the shaft having been
sunk to the 235-foot point. The
crosscut to the west should cut the
ledge at a further distance not to ex-
ceed % feet. When the ledge is
management to thoroughly explore
it by drifting both ways, sinking a
winze and raising in the ore.
In the Eureka workings they look
for the porphyry ore at any time.
Any round of shots in the south
crosseut may land them into the big
body coming into the ground from
the steam shovel pit. The people
the district are watching the devel-
opments in this direction with the
greatest interest, for 1t means as
much to the district as it does to the
men behind Ely Central to develop
mine in this part of the estate. They
have the most practical of reasons
for the development of the ore here,
the conditions being similar in every
respect to those in the pit.
On the west side of Nevada Con-
solidated's big excavation, from
where they are taking out the por-
phyry ore, on the north of the latter
lies a mass of pyrite limestone; and
the continuation of this limestone is
in the south crosscut of the Eureka
shaft. That is the material in which
they are now working, and 1t is only
a matter of going through the lime
stone belt to strike the porphyry ore.
The width of the limestone in the
pit is from 80 to 100 feet, and If II
is no wider in the Eureka, the en-
countering of the ore is reduced to
moments of time. II it proves to b.

who had the bond, to sink but the
K. and p. trouble came about that
time and as 1t was impossible to
market the ores development work
on the property was considerably
lessened. Mr.. Minnoletti said that
Mr.. Luekhardt had made an exhaus-
tive examination of the Hamilton and
Treasure Hill mines and had sampled
and measured the ore dumps at the
latter place and had also sampled
the failing piled at Eberhardt and
Shermantown. If the Ely-GoldhelG.
road is built and comes near Hamil-
ton. said Mr. Minnoletti, then the old
lead camp will boom again and will
be the very largest producer of lead
silver ores in the state.

Hamilton for a number of years and

When interviewed by News 'e-
porter Thursday night, Mr.. Minno-

an extremely dun summer. due to
the washout of the Eureka and Pal

BIG STRIKE ON
ELY CALUMET
sTRINGERs WIDEN OUT IN WHAT
APPEARS To BE A STRONG
TUNNEL.

One of the most important strikes
ever made in the district was the en-
eountering of ore in the Strehlke
lease of the Ely Calumet during the
week; ore of a direct smelling
character, and from present appear
ances they have struck a good and
lasting chunk of it. The lease is
located on the North Star claim of
Ely Calumet, and the strike was
made in a tunnel which is in about
100 feet. On the heels of this strike
came another on the Wild Cat claim
of the same property. the values be-
ing principally in lead and silver.
Some weeks ago the Strehlke
brothers struck a stringer in the
tunnel from which they extracted
and shipped 15 tons of ore to the
Salt Lake smelter, netting them a
tritle over 23 per cent in copper II
was on Sunday last that the stringer
widened out into what appears to he
a strong and well defined ledge for
the entire width of the tunnel, and
the leasers have since been taking
out the ore without a pound of waste
1t is perhaps too early to venture
a prediction of the lasting character
of the find; but the chief point in
evidence is the fact that the ore is
there and that the leasers have
another shipment ready for the smell
ter. The Importance of the find can
not be too strongly emphasized on
account of its location. Situated as
ii is seven or eight miles away from
the center of operations in the dis
triet, and found as tits in the lime
stone, il gives to the Robinson dis
triet a greater impetus than anything
that mas happened for some time.
The ore is said to average bet
ter than 25 per cent in copper.
The principal owners in the Ely
Calumet are Lucky" Tex Rickard
Thomas Rockhill and AL Myers of
Goldfield. 1t has been moot talk in
the district for months that the Cole
Ryan syndicate had an option on the
ground. and whether this is true or
not will soon be determined for the
reason that they will not lose any
further time In exercising the slme

The Cole-Ran syndicate own and

the richest showing of the later is the

ing operations of Cole that the finds
were made in the limestone in the

more extensive, IL simply means more
time, but that the crosscut will even
tually break into it there can be no
doubt.
The Eureka shaft has been sunk
to a depth of els feet, and is being
continued to the 625-foot level. This
is to provide a sump for the cross
cut which is to be run out from the
600, which will be pushed in the
same direction as the present cross
cut at 465. The theory of Engineer
Charles S. Herzig of Ely Central Is
that the primary sulphides in the
porphyry would be found in the sha
below the Copper Flat fault and that
the big body of ore would be en-
countered above the fault. This
theory has been demonstrated up to
the very point of encounering the
ore, and this latter is the mission of
the crosscut In the shaft they have
been in the primary sulphides In the
porphyry since passing the 540-foot
