Fl ALTERING DEVELOPMENT
IN MONTANA OF TONOPAH

A wire was rushed off to Presiden,
Charles +. Knox and he caught the
contagion. He wired back to put on
two shifts and rush the work, as well
as to keep him posted as to the de.
velopments.
In point of broadening the Touopab
mineral belt, assuming that ore will
soon be struck in the ~crosscut, this
is even more significant than The
Belmont strike. The Montana al
ready has ore at the farthest Dorth
of any Tonopah mine, but this will
widen it just that much more. The ef.
feet of such a strike will be to make
all that country east and west Of the
slaughter house valuable, it ALREADY
being the most excellent appearance
on the surface.
Such a strike will cause a big boon
in both mines and realty and add 200
per cent to local values.

MAKING FAST HEADWAY ON
RECLAMATION PROJECT

planted to crops this summer, largely
in the way of demonstrating the pos
sibilities of the land.
As soon as tn e work on this first
block of $500 acres is well under way
and nearing completion, another block
of the same size will be taken up, and
so on until water has been developed
for all the land, as well as bitches AMI
pipe lines for its distribution.
1t is now practically assured that
during the summer vegetables and
melons from this land will be extern
silver marketed in Goldfeld, and that
the residents Of the camp will material
ly benefit by this new source of sup
ply so near home, as it will cost less
to deliver such bulky products as
fresh vegetables from the A~margosa
country than it will from Los An
geles. where the bulk of the green pro-
duce used in the camp comes from. The
summer following, small fruits will be
added to the list of products. Those
who have seen and sampled the fruits
and vegetables from the Pahrump
ranch in the vicinity know that no
where can such products be grown in
mere prodigal profusion, and possessing
richer 1avoring and color than in that
section. The high mineral salt eon-
tent of the soil gives fruits and
melons, in particular, a rich coloring,
high flavor and sweetness that is un
usual, and they will always command
the top prices when placed in com
tions of the country.

FLORENCE MILL HAS
REACHED new RECORD

The Florence mill has increased it's
tonnage to the handsome figure of 40
tons per day now, which is the best
it has even done. From 10 20 l75 IONS
per day is the utmost service the 40
stamps can give. Mill heads of ap-
proximately SO are being put through
continually, and ~ per cent of the total
value of the ore is extracted by the
amalgamation department alone. A
feed of about s. per ton is being sent
to the cyanide department, and the
balance of the values goes into the con
Notwithstanding much less than half
the amount of concentrates that the
mill turned out a few months ago,
when the amalgamation plates were
covered up. This makes a material re-
dneticn of the charges for shipment
and treatment of concentrates.

ARE ACTIVELY DEVELOPING
NEVADA TUNGSTEN MINES

At Tungsten, Nevada, where f. L..
Hatcher of Ely and o. A. Turner of
Philadelphia are opening up some of
the most promising tungsten properties
in the state, about 40 men are now EN-
ployed. Developments are being crowd
ed with air drills and more buildings
will shortly be erected to care for the
working force. 1t is the intention of
the management to shortly erect a con-
centrating mill for grinding the ore.
This mill will produce a concentrate
which will carry from IS per cent tung-
site acid up. This will be a high grade
marketable product.
For some time the work on the prop.
erty has been pushed ahead and at
various places along the strike for 5000
feet. The vein has been proven to be
from six inches to three feet wide.
1t is declared that there will be no
trouble in concentrating the ore. At
present there is a large amount of ore
that can be shipped direct as the per-
eentage of tungstic acid is so high that
it will command a high price.
In spite of the cold weather the prop
erty has been worked all winter. Con-
siderable development work has been
done and with it has come a large ton
mage that ~insures the working of a
mill for some time.

ST. IVES LEASE STILL
SINKING THE SHAFT

RAWHIDE, Feb. GA crew of four
men is working continually on the dc
velopment work on the st. Ives lease
of the Codd Mines company. They are
sinking the shaft at the rate of one
and one-half feet per day. The inten-
ton is to start prosecuting about the
LIST of March, in the direction of the
Gruitt- Balloon hill lead. There are
two other leads that they will en-
counter before this point is reached
AMI as rich ore has been found in these
in the upper levels it is expected that
the crosscut will open up something of
an interesting nature.

SALT LAKE RY. MAY
RELAY old TRACKS

/. appears from a letter from Sen
ator Clark that there is strong
Ghood of the track down the Meadow
Valley wash being put in shape for
temporary use pending the eonstruc'
tion of a new line out of reach of the
flood waters of the future.
The proposition is declared to be
entirely feasible by engineers familiar
with the Meadow Valley wash county
below Caliente. They assert that much
temporary track would have to be
built anyway, in order to conserve the
ties, rails, and othE property, which
on the whole is immensely valuable,
while the road will be able to resume
business by carrying on a through
freight and passenger traffic for eight
.or nine months before any likelihoo
of a repetition of the great washout
of New Years day, or less destructive
foods.
In the meantime, constructive work
could proceed elsewhere and it is rea-
sonably certain that a new line, over
either of the routes suggested, could
be placed in readiness for operation
by the end of the present year. Their
if the Meadow Valley is abandoned,
the track there could be removed with
out any serious handicap.
The letter received from Senator
Clark was in response TO one sent
from here containing suggestions re-
garding a feasible route west of the
Meadow Valley wash and one which
would place Phoebe very near to the
main line. 1t gives further assurance
that the engineers now in the feld
are going to examine this country
thoroughly before the head officials or
the road decide definitely the location
OF the new line.-Pioche Record.

eli VFR-COPPER PROPERTY
ON EDGE OF DEATH VALLEY
TO BE LARGELY DEVELOPED

.J..P. Burns, the locator of the pro,
erty, has remained ~steadfast throuOb
out the past two years of business a..
preston, and now has succeeded i.
financing the property with the aid Of
the Granite Securities company Of Io,
Angeles, who, after a thorough invest.
CATION of the property, have arranged
an issue of $4,000 in bonds to guar.
antee 100000 shares of its t~reasurv
stock at 25 cents per share. The bond,
run for thirty years without ~interest
and are placed in escrow, and when
redeemed will revert to the Capricon
company, while the 100000 shares Of
stock remain the property of those
subscribing to the bonds. Brokers Of
| Washington, ID. c., will place the
securities.
Thirty per cent of the money is in.
vested by the Granite Securities con.
pary to protect the bonds. The "a
mainder is used by the mining COMPANY
for development and operation of The
property. This gives the Caprieon
company ample funds to proceed with
and still retain 100000 shares in il,
treasury. With the fine vein lorna.
ton in the property, and high grade
character of its ores, it seems that only
proper development is required to make
it a very profitable venture. Energeti,

VALUABLE GEOLOGICAL
REPORT IS Compiled

nna;ssance of some mining
camps in Elko, Lander ana
counties. in north-eentral Nevada, n"'
heep made by w. II. Emmons, geoiogiS'
of the United States geological survey
whose report is just printed as the SUI,
vev's bulletin 40s. The region eoVereu'
comprising 1000 square miles, has pro
dueed silver and gold worth about pow
600, 900.
NJ Emmons sketches the geology Oh
the region and describes the ore ue
~posits. The development at the mum
erons mines. the minerals Of the VEINS
worked. and the character and mode Oh
occurrence of the ores are noted IN de-
tail.
New Interest in Old Religion.
Mining in this part of Nevada reach
ed its greatest activity in the seventies
and eighties and declined rapidly II
the nineties. In 1906 and 1907 new
discoveries of gold ores gave fresl
zest to prospecting. Nearly every on'
of the old camps was overhauled' TIT
mines and dumps were sampled, an'
in some of them new ore BODIES wer'
discovered. In consequence OF tn
business depression of 1907 prospecting
ceased and many of the mines wer'
closed. Prospecting has now been tax
en- up again and interest IN TINS re
gion has been revived.
Mr.. Emmon's report covers lo'
pages and includes one geologic ant
four topographic maps, as wen a
many text figures. 1t can be obtalne'
without charge from the director 0
the survey at Washington.

She kept two lamps burning all night.
You a see how things went after
that. Blueworthy was star boarder at
