PLATINUM TO Be
FOUND in NEVADA

According to a paper read BEFORE the
Geological society by Rowland Z. Ban.
croft, at Washington, ID. c., platinum
occurs in peridotite dikes of the en-
static -mica-picrite variety at the Key
West and Great Eastern prospects In
the Copper King district, Clark coun-
ty, Nevada. The properties are situat-
ed in the rough foothills of the Virgin
range at an elevation Of approximately
5000 feet and they are eight or nine
miles from the Virgin river. The
rocks in the : immediate vicinity are
gneisses, probably of pre-Cambrian age,
and are intruded along the planes OF
schistosity by basic dikes which con-
tain, in addition to platinum, primary
pyrrhotite (probably nickeliferous),
magnetic, c~halcopyrite and pyrite. Be-
sides the ~periodotite dikes there is also
present a typical hcrnblendite dixie
which shows upon analysis a trace OF
platinum. alienation and concentra-
ton of the sulphides in the rock by
| solutions seem to increase the percent
age of platinum and nickel, one analy-
sis showing the presence Of o.55 of an
ounce Of platinum per ton n over
5 per cent nickel. The dikes, as ex-
posed upon the surface vary In width
from ten to fifty feet and are about
100 feet long. One carload of ore has
been shipped from the Key West work
ings.

SUIT RESULTS FROM

The meeting of the stockholders of

dated Mining company held yesterday
afternoon for the purpose of effecting
a reorganization under the Patrick
plan was decidedly lively. 1t ended
in the Thomas Manning forces wrest-
ing the control from l.. l.. Patrick and
now the latter is charging the opposi-
ton with adopting illegal means to ac-
complish its end. In fact he is preparing
to enter court and there have the con-
troversy adjudicated in the interest of
those stockholders who entrusted
proxies with him and who he declares
have not had a square deal.
Of the five directors elected at the
meeting three, E. A. Byler, j. G. Nc
Kay and BENZ. Gill were elected by the
Manning interests, while the minority
were given two directors, l.. l.. Patrick
and Z. w. Clapp. The latter two re-
fused to participate in the directors

notice on the other three directors that
the election was illegal and within ten

The output of the Round Mountain
Mining company for June, including the
product of the placers, amounts to
about s2S 900. Because of the large
quantity of low grade ore that it was
necessary to extract from the mine IN
accordance with plans for the future,
the aggregate of the output is smai'e"
than usual. However, when the addi-
lions to both the mining and milling
machinery are installed, and the Iii
creased extraction, fully arranged, a
considerably larger output will result,
and il is expected to continue indeh
nitely.
The addition to the mill Equipment
consists of a Blake crusher of 5OO-ton
capacity and a tubular mill, which WIZ
enlarge the capacity of the mill to 100
tons per day..

TRAINS Bring SHOPS
TO GOLDFIELD

This morning there arrived at the
site for the new T. q @. railroad shops
a trainload of building material con
sisting Of lumber from the dismantled
company buildings at Millers- The train
presented an unusual sight in that some
of the cars carried twenty-four-foot
trusses standing on end. This lumber
will go to construct the shops and the
roundhouse. Within a few days an
other load will arrive from Tonopah
where company buildings were recently
dismantled.
The actual work of erecting the new
buildings was commenced this after
noon when a large force of men under
the contractor, Charles Kline, were put
to work. The concrete foundations
have been completed and the construc-
ton work will be rushed to completion.
The contract with Kline calls for the
completion of the main buildings by
September /.

BIG DIPPER ACTIVE
AT SEVEN TROUGHS

One of the most active Of the prop
critics in the south end of the Seven
Troughs district and one ON which the
s~howings are exceptionally good is that
of the Big Dipper Mining company.
This estate adjoins the Boilermakers
and lies about midway between Mazuma
and Vernon on what is known as the
lower mineral belt. It's neighbors in
this system are such properties as the
Buckhorns on the south, the Radger
Hills, Wild Bull, North Pole, J. & B.,
and the Snowsquall ON the north. The
Big Dipper, however, does not need to
look to any other property for signs of
merit for the ore body opened up ON it
is good enough for any company.
The ore shoot comes to surface at
practically the end line Of the Big Dip
per claim and the values found here run
up in the big figures. Starting at this
shoot a tunnel has been run 165 feet
along side Of the vein and now from
this point on the vein win be followed
as long as the values hold. At 100 feet
a crosscut was run to the vein and good
values were obtained. Again at l65 feet
the values are sufficiently high to war
rant hauling to the mill at Mazuma.
The work now being done is in the
nature of development as it is the in
~tention of the owners as soon as the
length of the ore shoot is determined,
to sink and open up the ore to a SUM
cient depth to furnish ample stopping
ground.

company is finding in quantity are
phenomenal and have rarely been
equalled in the mining activities Of the
world. The only gold mines to my
knowledge having similar high grade
ore in quantity are the Mount Morgan
in Queensland, Australia, and the
mines at Kalgoorlie, also in Australia.
The Kalgoorie mines have the most
values in tellurides, but the general
character is similar as at depth in
Goldfeld. These mines have now reach
ed a depth of 1000 feet perpendicular
and are still in pay ore. Therefore it
is to be expected that the ore bodies

thar has been attained indicating
greater life to the camp.
cit seems a pity that some of the
properties here outside of the holdings
of the Consolidated and Florence are
not being more actively developed,
namely that the naturalization seems
to be so strong and persistent. To my
mind there seems a considerable hkeii-
hood of additional mines being opened
up with additional development work.
"The mining and mill methods OF the
Goldfeld Consolidated, from what l
have observed, are the most approved
and up-to-date in practice, and the
policy recently instituted by Mr.. Fin
Law in making public the technical de-
tails of company operations and the
items making up the cost deserve the
highest commendation. They show a
spirit on the part of the management
To take the shareholders. for whom they

The Railroad Springs Mining COM
pany have eight men employed in the
operation of their property located %
miles southeast Of Goldfeld. The sink
ing of the shaft was discontinued at
140 feet deep, and the men returned to
work on the 112 level. This drift will
be pushed to develop the ore shoot that
has been uncovered ON the so level.
There the ore maintained its solidity
for four feet in width, and while drift
ed ON for ninety feet the length OF
the ore shoot was not determined. This
ore body yielded an average value OF
$23, 80 per ton. On the 112-foot level
the same shoot has been drifted in for
40 feet. but the ore here is SIX feet
wide and carries the same values as
above.

Patrick held proxies representing $780,
900 shares, 100000 Of which were nor
voted on the ground of lack of date
and other technicalities. The Manning
forces held and voted proxies for 1885,
312 shares and also voted 645,587 : of
treasury stock held by the Registration
Trust company as trustee. The latter
block of stock had not been taken up
under the 80 day limit and under the
Patrick plan was to have been placed
in the treasury on July rs. The cleo
tion was carried by voting this block
and this act, Patrick charges, was
illegal in that the law states that stock
belonging to a corporation can not be
voted and on the further ground that
in order to have obtained a proxy for
such stock a meeting of the directors
of the Registration Trust company
would have had to be held and the
authority delegated by such directorate,
which it is charged, was not done.
At the meeting of directors in which

company share for share.
The r~eorganized company win be as
sessable, but to a limited extent. The
assessments that can be levied are
limited to two cents per year, or one
half cent per share each quarter. The
funds derived from the issuance of
stock will be used in the liquidation Of
the indebtedness upon the property.
The property of this company is
located in the Diamondfeld section of
Goldfeld district, with about one-third
of its territory in Esmeralda county and
two-thirds in Nye county. Nearly co..
600 feet of work has been done in the
property, and in the past, by leasers
and company operations, it has pro
duced fully a half million dollars. There
are at the present time two sets OF
~leasers at work on the ground, produc.
ing some shipping ore.
1t is estimated that there is on the
dumps and in the mine between $4,000
and 10000 tons Of milling ore, which
will yield an average of baout $14 pei
ton. 1t is the intention Of the new
company to vigorously prosecute de

be raised by assessment or otherwise
sufficient to install a suitable reduction
plant at the property. 1t is believed
that the property can be easily made
profitable.
