PIONEER LEASE GOES
ALONG IN FINE SHAPE

Everything is in first class condition
with the Pioneer lease. The mine -
doing nicely with a working force IF
fifteen men. Ore extraction has been
resumed this week, and will continue in
definitely.
Captain Herman Davis, the manager,
has deemed it best to put in slime tanks
at the mill and the tanks are almost
ready fo- commission. The mill has
been operating steadily, and soon a
cleanup will produce bullion for ship
ment. BY the addition of the slime
tanks, a greater per cent of recovery
will be accomplished, and possibly ali
the ore, high grade as well as low, will
be put through the mill.

in the Mt. Grant district and he reports
a strike that proves property is the

that section of country.
The new strike was made in 2 drift

pany. which sunk a shaft 400 feet in the
waste. Formerly large shipments OF
high-grade ore were taken out above the
tunnel level and on the outcrop which
shows a heavy iron gossan. The ore
lies close to the contact of the limestone
and granodiorite. The property is idle.
The Western Nevada holdings are sit

Nevada Douglas Group.
The only developed property on the
east slope of Smith Valley is the Ne

four copper-bearing zones: The Ludwig
assure vein; the Casting Copper, prob
ably a continuation of the above; the
Amalgamated and the Douglas, impreg-
nations in an epidote-limestone belt.
The accompanying section gives an idea
of the development of the Ludwig,
which claims $50, 900 tons of ore averag-
ing over 5 per cent copper actually
blocked out. Most of the high grade
ore from the oxidized zone, extending
a little below the 5OO-foot point, has
been taken out, leaving, however, CON
siderable ore which will be of shipping
grade. 1t will require careful mining
to recover this ore. Some secondar!
enrichment shows below the oxidlzed
zone below which c~halcopyrite occurs.
The gangue is silieious, and the
heavy iron gossan carries copper ID

The Engineering and Mining Journal,
oe of the most conservative mining
periodicals. in the country, contains a
rsport ON the Yerington district by
John Tyssowsky, n of the best copper
engineers and experts in the country.
The report is very interesting from
many standpoints, and in part reads as
follows:
Mason Valley Group.
The mines of the Yerington district
naturally fall into three geographical
groups, i. e., those on either flank OF
Mason Valley and those to the west n
across the range on the east slope OF
Smith Valley. The Mason Valley mine,
of the group on the west slope OF the
Walker river basin, is the only n IN
the district now being actively develop
ed. This property, controlled by Gum
Thompson company, of Salt Lake CITY,
is employing about 20 men under }. j..
WEIGH, superintendent. From the No. l
tunnel the main assure has been drlfted
on for about 300 feet to the east and
crosscuts run at intervals into the
garnet-lime, ~ore-bearing formation. On
the No. 3 level the fissure has been fol
lowed for about 700 feet to the south
and 200 feet to the north, and the ore
crosscut. A winze connects the levels
and an intermediate has been opened
between the Nos. 3 and 4 tunnels. A
filed stope is being started above the
No. 3. To the south, on the main, or
No. 4 level, the ore has been followed
to where it is cut off near the end OF
the property, and drifting has advanced
nearly as far to the north. There are
three wines below the No. a, n now
showing ore at a depth of 70 feet. 1t
IS claimed that an ore reserve of over
wV,OO0 tons, averaging 49, per cent
copper is blocked out. The ore Is
chaleopyrite and heavy iron sulphide II

ed to be self-fluxing. Carbonates show
near the surface and there is some sec

distance southeast of the shaft, will
soon be cut.
National Mill Does Well.
The Schmidt oufek lease is in ag.
gressive daily operation by it's lessees
and the results so far obtained have
been quite satisfactory. The lessees
last week shipped 43h tons of ore to
the National mill, which was a trial
run, but which gave very gratifying re-
turns. The ore is very free and is there
fore easily milled, which is best shown
by the low assay of the tailings, which
ran but so cents per ton. Messrs.
Schmidt and Loufek are loud in their
praise of H. s. Chapman, in charge of
the National mill, for the most excel.
lent work done on their ore, and are
highly elated over the high rate of saw
ing made in the extraction by the mill.
The bullion runs among the very high
est in the camp, local assays running
$10.15 per ounce.
Officers Elected.
At the annual meeting of the Salt
a k e-Rawhide Mining company, held in
Salt Lake last week, the following Off
GERS and directors were elected for the
ensuing year: President, j. W. Morri-
son; vice president, Morris B. Smith;
secretary and treasurer, T. j. Gundry;
resident agent, Fred B. Davis addition
al directors, j. ". Musgrave and Mar
tina l.. Salisbury. The company expects
to resume work in the near future, the
secretary informs us, intending to push
down the shaft on the Allie G. to the
300-foot level.
