GOLDFIELD, March 12.-J. c.. Nc
Cormack, one of the foremost mine
operators in Nevada. has just returned
from an extended automobile trip
through a number of the camps far
Their south and reports notable IN
crease in the scope of mining opera
lions at a number of points. He says
the Montgomery Shoshone mine is now
in excellent condition-in fact 100 per
cent better than ever beforehand the
last report includes an estimate of
100000 tons of good milling ore IN
sight in the workings.
on the Tramps Consolidated the les
sees operating the company workings
will have their ten-stamp mill working
before March 10. Occasional shipments
are being made by lessees on a num-
Der of properties and there is dis
tinctly better feeling throughout the
district. On Red Mountain, near Rhy-
olite. large bodies of high grade mill
ore have been exposed by Glenn Mil
ward on his lease where two shifts are
at work developing.
At the camp of Pioneer the original
Pioneer lease, in which Reno men are
interested, is now shipping two car
loads daily of ore running from $50 to
S1O0 a ton, with excellent prospects of
large and continuous production. j.
r. Bryan. the original locator of the
district, has struck good ore with
foot of high grade on his lease on the
x. X. ground. Jack Awkward, whose
lease shaft is down over 800 feet is
getting high assays with seams or
shipping value. and the formation
shows an improvement with every
shot Many lessees and others who
had SUSPENDED work have resumed
sinking or drifting, and there are now
eight power hoists operating in the
Pioneer district.
Fifteen Stamps at Work
The Mayhower company's mill, of
fifteen stamps, is now pounding on ore
of good quality. Some time ago a group
pany took over the property under a
four-year lease. by the terms of which
they assume all Indebtedness of the
company pay all operating expenses
and pay to the company as royalty 80
per cent of the net proceeds. A. sgd
ney Addition, who first brought the
property to a productive basis, has
again assumed charge as general man
ager, and the greatest confidence is re-
posed in his ability to make a sue
cess of the enterprise. The Mayflower
is said to have a large tonnage of eX-
cellent mill ore and its future as q
prolific producer is now apparently as
sured.
At the camp of Fluorine. a short dis
tanC east of Beatty, the Diamond
Queen property, controlled by Mr.. Nc
Cormack is making an excellent show
ing and has already produced over
$4,000 worth of gold ore of good
grade. Two lessees on this property
are shipping ore, and two carloads
have just been sent to the smelterS,
one Of which averaged over 500 and
the other from $50 to SIS a ton. The
company is also developing and pre-
pairing for extensive work in the near
future The treatment of this ore
costs less than 81 a ton owing to the
high percentage of iron and the fact
that it is eagerly sought by the smelt-
ing companies. The ore is a red oxide
and shows no gold by panning on ac-
count OF the heavy iron content. A
