Official figures for the first IL months
of 1909 and official estimates for De-
and Mining company has shipped to
cember give the Ely district a total
production of 2~,093,270 tons of ore
smelted. From this ore, 51,SS0,236
pounds of blister copper were produced
and shipped. This is a great record for
the wear, for an infant copper camp.
Says the Ely Expositor:
During the quarter ending Deem
Der 81, the Steptoe Valley Smelling
the markets of the world, a total of
10, 204 800 pounds of blister copper.
The shipment for December is close
ly estimated by the management of the
company, but with the exception of the
slight variation that may be noted IN
the figures for the last few days OF
December the figures are substantially
the total for the quarter.
The shipment of more than sixteen
millions of pounds of blister copper
during the quarter, means an average
of lsO,053 pounds of blister copper a
day. or "a times the production of the
huge plant during the last quarter in
1908.
According to the figures given by the
management of the steptoe Valley
Smelling and Mining company, the
total output of blister copper, since
the furnaces were first blown in, has
reached the enormous total of 6 $780,.
$40 pounds.

whole face runs better than $40 per
ton. This is the same lead as that
opened up on the upper workings. At
the latter place the ore will run
from $40 to $50 per on. The body is
about three feet wide and carries a
regular and steady average.
There is some talk among the man
agement of the lease of the probable
ty of erecting a fve-stamp mill ON
the property, and in this way to be
able to handle their own ore. Salts
factory arrangements have been made
with the water company to supply the
necessary fluid, and the plant could be
built for a moderate sum. Like all
other leases the Phoenix is hamper
ed by not being able to have their ore
worked, and it is this difficulty they
are endeavoring to obviate.
Proskey Gets Good Returns
On the Proskey No. l, they are work
ing right along. A recent shipment to
the sampler of the Western Ore Pur
chasing company at Hazen gave a value
of t$347.8 S on 7247 pounds. This shows
an average value of $103.26 per ton.
Kearns No. 2 In Ore
On the 80-foot level of the Kearns
No. 2 they have a good streak of ore
that will average about $50 per ton,
aside from a fair grade body of mill
ore. Men are constantly employed in
the development of the lease and they
will be able to supply quite a tonnage
when the mills are able to receive the
ore.

pected to extend down below that level.
They are now out about As feet west
from the shaft, and it is the expecta-
ton to tap the shoot of ore within
about So feet from where they now
are.
Portland Lease Gets Good Ore.
On the Portland lease Of the Coali-
ton estate an ore body unlike anything
in the camp is being ,pened up. At this
writing it's partic ,r shape is un-
known; but SO I r exposed it is Is
inches wide, and we are told that it
will mill as broken $40 per ton. The
ore contains occasional patches of horn
silver. The gold is quite coarse, much
of it visible. The product is indeed an
excellent free milling grade, and the
strike can be classed as an import
ant one to the district.
The ~lessees on the Portland have
been shopping up something good on
their block right along, and the lease
is fast being recognized as one of the
best in the district.
Phoenix Lease Ready for Mill
General Manager j. H. Barrett OF the
Queen estate states that the Phoenix
lease has about 200 tons of mill ore
out and in the shoots ready for treat
ment at the local mills as soon as
they are in a position to work it.
In fact, everything in and about the
mine is filled with ore. 1t is the in
t~ention to work it in the Murray mill

The production started on a com
paratively small scale in 1908, and 10
the last day of September in that year,
the total production was 2,e9f,4io
With the last quarter IN that
year, however, the big plant was run
ming smoothly, the ore was being re-
ceived almost as rapidly as it could be
handled, and the production steadily
and rapidly increased until the quar-
ter which has just closed, when the
records of output placed the plant
close to the top in the list OF the
worlds copper producers.
Enormous Daily Output.
The average daily output of the
plant during the quarter ending De-
cember 81, 1908, was a shade more
than 1903 pounds of the red metal
gains since that time have been
phenomenal, until the last quarter s
output averaged a shade more thar
IS0,053 pounds of copper daily, or "a
timse the output of a year ago.
The output for the quarter just
closed would have been materially
larger had the company not expert
enced a great deal of unexpected trou'

They have been mining along approved

IN such a peculiarly favorable manner
mat 1t may be looked upon as n of
the best locations in the district. That
'he hedges of either or both of these
"eighboring properties will be picked
up inside of Black Hawk lines is the
hrm conviction of the leasers. They
are DONG a lot of work and they are
hoe DONG it on a forlorn hope.

X. c. Reed came out from Tonopat

the Comstock with Mr.. Reed are Gil
bert C.. Ross, superintendent of public
instruction, and Editor Branson of the
Tonopah Sun. Both of these gentle
men have ~unbounded faith in the Com
stock as an ultimate producer. They
believe that sooner or later either the
Sunnyside or Sphinx ledge will be pick
ed up in the Comstock. A hoist Will
probably be erected on the property
in the zeal future and other substantial
improvements are being planned.
Daisy Hill Is Lively.
Irving Herr, the Boston mining engl-
neer, who has had charge of the Daisy
and Solid Gold companies for the past
three months, went out to Tonopah on
a Thomas flyer Sunday. He was on his
way to Chicago, where he expects to IN

case the showing has improved with

into solid masses as hard to handle as
loads of hardened concrete.
Handicap of Bad Weather.
In their efforts to unload these ears
the crews were forced to resort to the
of drilling holes to the center
of the loads and blasting the ore from
the ears with high explosives.
While the crews were wrestling
with the first trains that came to them
in that condition, other trains of cars
were run in ON the sidings and could
be promptly emptied. The result
was that these, too, froze into solid
masses, and the volume of ore in the
bins was reduced to such an extent
that it was necessary on December IL,
to shut down sections 5 and 6 of the
concentration.
While the conditions causing the
shutdown have been met to a certain
extent, the situation has not been
such, to this time, that these sections
could resume operation. 1t is believed,
however, that these sections will be
again thrown into commission within
the next ten days or W weeks.
With these handicaps to face, the
record of copper output for the quar-
ter and for the year has been such as
to command the attention of the en-
tire country, and to prove the mechan-
zeal perfection and the perfection OF
organization in the great company
which is wrestling from the grasp of
tine hills such a wealth of metal for
the purposes of commerce.

RAWHIDE, Dee. 8.-The Victor
lease, on the Coalition estate, has enter
ed into something that promises to de-
velop into a big thing for the l~essees.
While raising in the stope over the
200-foot level, the quartz leaders which
heretofore have made II feet of a
breast, average $50 per ton. They have
greatly increased in value, showing a
larger amount of visible gold, speci-
mems of which are of the candle box
order. There would be no use in us Civ
ing values contained in the new find.
as almost any assay desired could be
obtained. Suffice to say that the strike
is a good one-indeed an important
discovery.
Grutt-B Balloon Shipping
The Grutt-B Balloon Hill lease, on the
Queen estate, is shipping this week a
25-ton car of high grade to the sam
piers at Hazen. 1t is the intention, az
cording to General Manager Looney, to
continue these until three or four cars
are shipped. This allotment will be
sorted to a value of 800 per ton. They
will not sort it too close, preferring
that the lot should not average higher
than that amount per ton. This ore IS
being sent to the outside because the
management can get no definite guar
antee as to the probability of a mill
run at the home plants. All of this rich
ore has been taken from the lS5 and
the $50 levels of the property.

ton, and at the sane time permit in
dividual states of the Union to cut
the pins from under this same COM
mercial organization at home? We
cannot hope TO succeed with such an.
inconsistent and ruinous a system.
Apart from all the embarrassments
which antagonistic and conflicting
state legislation has so far created it
appears to me that contemplation OF
rha It'll of our foreign commerce
in itself absolutely settles the need
for an intelligent, bold and compre
~1ensive scheme for the organization
IF commercial enterprise under the
same authority under whose charge
that enterprise is to go forward"
The Secretary agreed that confu-
sion no doubt would result in the
states with the adoption of a federal
corporation law and hat serious ques-
IONS would arise with respect To the
sabject of taxation, but ne urged that
{ should at all times be remembered
nat creation of a federal corpor-
alton was within the control of he
people of the United States. No hard
md fast rule he said existed as to the
nanne in which Ike to be paid b.
such an organization shall be appor-
toned, but he anticipated no nsur-
nountable difficulty to be presented
n his matter with respect to the in
lividual corporation, and he saw no
reason why the federal corporation.
corporation law should not provide
or the assessment of tangible proper
~, and for the taxation of shares in
such manner that exact justice and
protection will be afforded individual
states and localities"
As to apprehension that a federal
corporation statute would permit
large concerns TO escape some of the
avs inhibitions provided against them
he Secretary had no fear.
IF the mere amount of capital
ne said, lis in itself TO be recognized
- an objection, then there is 10 rea.
son why the federal law should not fix
such a limit as may be found reason
BILE and safe. But it is believed that
he real objection &c large corpora
tions in our country oes to the mo
ncpolistic character of the concerns.
I'm that respect a federal corporation
law would prove. in my Judgment, in
EIlllclN more eIecIlNe J.ldl nave tHe
spas nodic. inharmonious attempts of
individual states.
Il believe to summarize, that there
is no question whatever about the al
thority of the Federal Congress to
provide for n organization of com.
nercial corporations whica may be
equipped to i~nteIligently develop do.
mestic commerce, and to protect our
interests in foreign countries. | have
no question that the existing system,
which on all sides is at war WITH il.
self. has become intolerable, and that
nothing hut the untold wealth of our
country can account for our ability to
hold our own as long as we rave
these conditions.
Il am persuaded That the creation
of such corporations, Immediately re-
spoasive to an authority which can
deal with them ON all sides, will
make only for good"
