REVIVAL OF INTEREST in MINING
Mining Science.)

A0HhhH0 SO'~I
Concerted efforts to create a revival Of interest in mining are on
foot in Colorado. The work undertaken by the new mining commit
tee of the Denver Chamber Of Commerce is mentioned elsewhere. }. f.
Callbreath, secretary of the American Mining Congress, has called a
of mining men to be held on Wednesday OF this week IN Den
yer. too late for a report in this issue of Mining Science. The opinion
seems to be that present conditions warrant larger investments and
greater activity than are now in evidence.
Progress that is resulting in cheaper and more efhcent extrac-
zion of the metals in the ores is encouraging. Lower freight rates ana
lower smelling rates have been announced, and the promise is heioo out
that further reductions along the same lines will follow.
Rut there appears to be a lack of that enthusiastic interest IN min
uonture that was characteristic of earlier days, an enthusiasm
that was stimulated to a high pitch OF excitement by u discoveries
that made the fame of Leadville and Cripple Creek
It is Just as well, perhaps, that the materials crea'lng q MN
IN boom ire wanting. The prosperity that comes a a result OF satls
factory earnings upon conservative investments is more enduring anu
satisfactory.
Pnt the purely speculative element in mining deserves 0 en-
oem There is an undeniable fascination about the search
for oold. A good prospect is a good gamble and a httie more legi1f

WESTERN SHELTER co.
HAS ANNUAL MEET

The first annual meeting of the
Western Smelters Corporation on Ne
vada was held yesterday in Reno at
their office ON Carson street. 71,s45
shares of the total capitalization of
100000 shares was represented and a
most satisfactory meeting held. W. A.
Sharon of Virginia City, Jas. Yering-
ton, P. B. Ellis and others of the com

The election of officers resulted in
a reelection of the former members
of the office body as follows: Presi-
dent, Jas. A. Yerington; vice presi-
dent, P. B. Ellis; assistant secretary, o.
w. Tenant; consulting engineer, j.
w. Boileau; superintendent of con-
struction, w. Z. Patterson. The fol
lowing constitute the board of direc-
tors: j. A. Yerington, VIM Ewing, w.
Z. Sharon, f. b. Yerington and P. b.
Ellis. Reports were read as to the con-
dition of affairs from the president and
consulting engineer and all most favor
ably received. The company is on the
very best of a foundation and If moth
ing happens the work of building the
smelter will be so far advanced that
the plant can be started this summer.

RICHEST LEASE
in THE WORLD

The lease owned by George e. and
Frank w. Stall, located ON the prop
erty Of the National Mining company
Of Nevada on Charleston hill at the
great camp of National, is now recog-
nized by mining men as the richest
block of ground in the West, If not in
the world, states the Humboldt Star. AL
though covering only 800 feet along the
strike of the bonanza vein that traversss
that property, yet the production Of this
lease has been wonderful.
The shaft which has now reached a
depth Of 400 feet is the only surface
opening through which the famous
property is worked at the present time.
This shaft is thoroughly equipped with
a fine hoist and is electric lighted and
the workings are connected by tele-
phone. The shaft is being pushed to
depth as rapidly as possible and with
every foot of ground opened there are
disclosures of bigger and richer de-
posits Of fabulous ore. This ore is not
Of the ordinary kind, but is picture ore
in the true sense of the word-so
heavy with gold that it could almost
be classed as bullion. With the ex-
tremely rich ore there is being hoisted
to the surface large quantities Of high
grade milling ore which is being piled
on the dump to be reduced later. AS
has often been told, the fabulous ore
that is worth from $50 to $1,000 q
pound, is reduced in a small pan-ar-
rastra mill and the bullion is shipped
through the local express Office at
this place to the United States mint.
The same story can be told Of the
ground under operation by the parent
company, for on these holdings the
same grade of bonanza ore is being
extracted daily and it is being put into
bullion in the c~ompany's mill, which is.
similar to that used at the Stall lease.
In a short tine the National Mining
company of Nevada will have a Lane
slow speed mill in operation to
handle the lower grade ores of which
there is a large tonnage on the
dumps. This mill is located at the foot
of Charleston hill just below the work
ings of the company and a surface
tram is being installed to deliver the
ore to the mill. There are some nine
ty men on the payroll at the Stall lease
and about forty men employed on the
parent company's ground.

ing most satisfactory Roadway in the
operation of its property and hopes
within the mex few months to be ON

During the fiscal year ending April
80, 1910, the company produced STA.
$3.50 in gold bullion, and received
$24,40S.s0 through the sale of treasury
stock. During the year, also, a large
mount of development work was per
formed, and the mill and mine equip
ment added to.
According to advices from Johnnie
the company reached the SOO-foot level
In its incline shaft on the 10th of June,
and has since driven a distance of over
sixty-ive feet in the crosscut being run
to catch the ore body on its dip. This
ore should be reached by the 1st of
August, or by the 10th, in any event.
The shaft is also being sunk to the 900
level, and it is the intention to get
to the 1000-foot level before the
end of the year.
The company is now figuring on a new
power plant of it's own, and is arrang-
ing to increase it's milling capacity so
that 200 tons of ore can be handled

RICH SULPH|DES
AT MONTEzUMA

BY a crosscut tunnel that the con-
tractors, Bergman and Devlin, are
driving for the Montczuma Gold King
company, in the Montezuma district, a
vein of sulphide ore has been penetrat-
ed. from which assays have been SO
cured running as high as $500, while
several feet of vein matter shows good
milling ore, says the White Pine News.
The contract has been let for 200
feet of driving, and as the tunnel gains
in depth about Two and a halt feet Tor
every one advanced, the vein system
that is the objective point will be cur
at a point that should be deep enough
to get the zone of primary enrichment.
The vein that has been encountered -
probably a cross issure, as the u has
between so to rs feet to 60, accord
ing to surface surveys, before it will
be under the main quartz dyke that out
crops in the lime.
The ground of the Montezuma Gold
King appears very promising, as it Is
crossed by the big quartz lead in the
lime and slate contact zone, from
which the old Montezuma mines
shipped rich ore to Austin, long te-
fore there were any railroads in this
part of the desert, and before Gold,
field was even thought of. Fault zorss
have necessitated a good deal OF .x-
pensive "deado work, however, aui
it now looks as though the persis-
Itenee of the company is likely to be

PIONEER LEASE IMPROVES ITS
PRODUCTION

Breaking ore to furnish an OUTPUT
of thirty tons a day is an cas- matter
at the Pioneer lease just now, says the
Rhyolite Herald.
1t is reported that the miners are
able to break enough ore and then
some with one round of shots to keep
the Maylower mill busy, some of the
rounds having broken sixty tons of
ore.
The output is coming from the $50
level, and at this point there is a big
ore body of good quality. The width
of ore now being broken may not hold
out, but just now it is an easy matter
to break large quantities of ore with
little effort.
The main stope above the $50 level
is about eighteen feet in width, and
has been carried ffty-fve feet with a
height of forty feet. These dimen-
sions are worth considering, inasmuch
this magnificent ore body is in vir-
gin territory-in country where the
experts have declared no ore could
exist.
This ore is way out in the footwall
Of the vein, to the north of the old
Slopes, beyond what is known as the
Stark fault. No ore has been opened
here before the administration of the
present manager, Capt. Herman Davis;

SEVEN TROUGHS COALITION is
MAKING BIG PRODUCTION

The Seven Troughs Coalition proper.
ty IS not only developing high grade
and extending the ore areas, but the
mill is doing good work and turning
out the bullion in quantity. The last
shipment of bullion to the mine amount
ed to $1,000 in value, which brought
the production for the last thirty days
up to $4,000. This does not represent
the company's total output for during
that period a large quantity of high
grade ore has been extracted but not
shipped or treated.
The company's mill is running stead
lily and it is evident that the milling
capacity win have to be doubled in
order to take care of the output.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-07-23

Fifty tons Of ore taken out by the
Engineers lease, on the Coalition
ground, and treated in the mill yielded
over 5000, averaging better than 800
per ton.
The company is getting more high
grade ore daily, and the ore bodies are
averaging better. The principal vein
mas been opened to depth of over 600
feet and if the present dip of the vein
Is maintained it will within the next
ninety days be opened to 1000 feet
deep.
The Tyler lease has just cut the vein
at the point of contact and promises
to produce Immediately.

in fact, no attempt had been made to
look for ore beyond the imaginary wall,
as the coneensus of opinion seemed to
be that the wall or slip cut off the ore
entirely. But it didn't

go and the $50 levels, where it is ex.

rock will be mined. The orc has not
been opened as yet on the 300, but
the management hopes to pick it up in
the near future.
The Mayhower milling plant, in
which the Pioneer ore is being treat
ed, is not running to capacity, owing
to shortage of water.
The water is being used over and
over and very little if any is wasted,
and in this way the supply is con-
served as much as possible.
Capt. Davis installed an up-to-date
slime plant, which has proven an I'M
qualified success, but owing to the
shortage of water it is, not being OPP
Grated to full capacity.
Forty.three men are on the payroll
of the leasing company, including the
mill crews. The company pays its
men at the end of each week, and the
mine is closed on Sundays-the first
instance of Sunday closing of any pro-
ducing mine in camp.

EAGLES BEGINS
To PRODUCE ORE

General Manager Houlahan of the
Nevada Eagle and the Nevada Victor
companies states that everything is
looking wen in both properties, and OPP
erations are being steadily carried for
ward.
On the Nevada Eagle the ore bin late
ly finished now contains over a carload
of ore extracted mainly from the raises
on the $50 level. While the main shaft
is down $50 feet, the upper part of the
ore shoot is being explored on the $50
level, and the ore broken in this ex-
ploration is being extracted.
1t is not intended to make imme-
date shipments of ore, as Mr.. Houlahan
wants to get a better knowledge Of the
length and width of the ore shoot, and
to better establish the character of the
ore.
The ore contains quite a percentage of
iron making it very much desired by
smelters. Because of this fact and the
precious metals the ore contains it is
expected TO prove a profitable shipping
commodity. 1t will be several weeks
yet before the output will be started.
The Nevada Victor, which adjoins the
Nevada Eagle on the north, is now
crosscutting on the 125-foot level to tap
the vein. Stringers of quartz are being
encountered Indicating that the vein is
not far away.
