Nevada's Big Gains

The report of State License and Bull
lion Tax Agent j. f. Haley, on the
mineral production of Nevada for the
year ending December 81, 1909, has just
and shows the immense strides in min
ing in Nevada in the last Il months
The production in tonnage is two
and one half times greater than that of
1908, and the total value nearly twice
that of 1908.
The tonnage has increased from
increased from S14,S73,545 to s24,9 ,969,
531; taxes collected increased from
s1o1,656 to $22457s; expenses increased
White Pine county leads the state
in gross production, having produced
1,67S,S96 tons. Esmeraldo county fol-
509,S01 tons. Esmeralda leads in val
ues for the year with $9,5S7,S31. White
Pines copper follows, with S7,114,354.
Manhattan Ore
Sixteen hundred ounces of gold from
95 tons of ore, is record hard to beat
in any camp. Figured at the rate of
SIS per ounce, the total value is
of about s252.6O. And this is the
plate extraction only, as there remains
about $4,000 to come from the cyanide.
which will swell the aggregate to
$2S,000. This is one of the best mill
ings that has ever been made in the
camp, and the ore came from the
lease on the Big Four. The bullion,
in five bricks, was taken to the mint
by the three leasers on Monday, and
as they have not returned up to this
time, it has not been ascertained the
exact amount of money secured from
the consignment, though $4,000 is
considered close estimate. The
cleanup far surpassed the most SAN
guine expectations of the leasers.-

Fine Showing at Rye Patch
Peter Macarthur, the mining man,
Old Rye Patch district brings avery
fattering reports from that section. He
says that several important strikes
have been made during the last few
weeks and that every indication now
points to a very active campaign being
inaugurated during the coming sum-
mine. Mr.. Macarthur stated, one of the
biggest strikes ever made in that sec
tion was recently uncovered. At the
230 foot level ledge has been pene-
trated a distance of fully 80 feet and
as yet no hanging wall has been found.
Throughout this monster vein the val
ues will-average a falr milling grade:
In going through the ledge a body of
ore fully 5 feet wide and carrying
high grade lead and silver values, was
cut.-Lovelock Review

sumo operations Immediately. The
Main offices of the Mayfower company
will be removed to San Francisco. and

condition.-Rhyolite Herald.
Oakland Mine
The ledge at the Oakland mine. in
the Gold Lake district, is looking extra
we'll. The pay shoot was struck last
summer and has been followed for
quite a distance. A mill run by a
gasoline engine was taken to the mine
last fall, but the early storms compelled
the owners to cease work for the win
ter as soon as the machinery was put
up. The ledge ranges from 1S inches
to 3 feet in width and some 10 inches
of this is what might be termed
high grade, as the gold is plentifully
sprinkled all through the quartz. The
ledge is encased with a gray porphyry
hanging and conglomerate footwall,
with a two inch gauge on each wall
The rock is said to free mill not less
