ALLEGES KEYSTONE
Mine WAS Sailed

There was some surprise and great
deal of regret this week when the
miners who had been employed at the
keystone mine, in the Mt. Grant dis
trict, arrived in town with the infor-
nation that the property Had been
shut down. No information was vouch-
safed them as to how long the shut
down would last, but it is stated that
the Boston parties who recently bought
the mine would arrive in a few days
when plans for the future will be
determined. In the meantime, work
has not only stopped at the mine, but
machinery and other supplies for the
mill, which were in transit, have been
held up pending the arrival of the own
ers. The keystone was sold last April
to Boston people and Dan Abrams OF
Chicago, the deal being made by Dan
Edwards of Reno. Those who know
the property believed it had the max
ing of a ssgood little mime The
story is current that the assayer who
was recently installed completed a
series of tests of the ore and the re-
suits were far from satisfactory.
Whether "the value run out Of the
ore' as a prominent operator Of Gold
field once put, it or whether the claim
ed value were never there, is not known
at this time.
On another page the same paper
says:
Supplementary to the article ON the
shutdown of the keystone mine, which
appears on the first page, we are som
PEELED to add that late information
makes it a practical certainty that
the Keystone was "salted' before the
sale to Boston parties. 1t is said that
the best assay secured recently in a
weeks sampling was $1.so per ton 1t
appears to be a very rotten moss, with
possibly the penitentiary in sight for
some one.-Tonopah Miner.

STATES THAT THE
RAWHIDE MINES WILL HAVE
A LONG PRODUCTIVE LIFE

Charles s. Herzig. the eminent min
ing engineer, has been for some days
in Rawhide, in company with Engineer
Constant, looking over the mines of
the district. OF his visit the Press
Times says:
c. s. Herzig, when he was asked as
to his opinion of the camp, stated that
he was more than pleased with the de-
velopments that had taken place since
his brief visit to Rawhide last year,
more especially the discovery of sui
phide ore in several of the mines
could only be interpreted as indicating
the likelihood of ~permanency of the
ore bodies at depth. An inspection
of the mines showed that the mineral
ization was very widespread and ap-
parently along well defined lines, the
cracks or assures in which the ore oc-
Cured being in most cases more or
less parallel, showing that the same
agency was instrumental in the for
nation of all of them. Along these
cracks ore bodies had been found at
irregular intervals, but sufficiently Of
ten, apparently, to warrant the leasers
their operations.
The distance from the railroad and
the other physical difficulties the camp
has had to contend with necessitated
a high grade of ore before the ship
pers could expect to make a profit.

FARRELL, August "A most i'm
portant deal as ~presaging much activ-
ity in the north end of the district this
fall was contaminated this week where
by the English syndicate owning the
Darby mill at Mazuma and controlling
the Florence lease near Vernon ac-
quired a large block of ground imme-
diately adjoining the Mammoth prop
erty at Farrell.
The Big Bug group owned by j. w.
Kroner of Mazuma, is the property
which has just changed hands. MI.
Kroner, who is at present engaged in
the mercantile business here, is an old
time Colorado mining man and n of
the most practical mining men in the
district today and the fact that of all
of the opportunities which he has had
during his three years. residence here,
he embraced the one to purchase the
Big Bug group speaks volumes for the
merit which the property possesses.
The work now being done by the
Darby mill people to open up the Flor
ence lease to a depth of 600 feet by way
of the Fairview shaft is progressing
most satisfactorily and before the first
of October it is expected that the drift
will have reached the ore shoot opened
nm in the Florence to a depth of 40O

ATLAS COMPANY MAY
Have The FIRST Mill

WONDER, August At is no sure
thing that the Atlas company will not
have the first mill in Wonder, even if
it's rival, the Nevada Wonder, has about
two years the start in the matter OF
making preliminary arrangements. The
work Of retimbering the shaft at the
Jack Pot is proceeding with all the
speed consistent with good work, and
lumber for the completion of the job is
on the way. The arrangements for
power to turn the mills wheels are
perfected, and an abundant supply of
water is already piped to within a
short distance of the property, leaving
nothing to do but determine the size
and kind of mill necessary, and 60
ahead with the erection. Elaborate
tests of the ore have already been made
in the laboratory, and the process for
the extraction of the values practically
determined. The power line is well
under way, the poles being in place and
wires up as far as Luning, and the
construction gang actively engaged in
digging holes and setting poles between
that point and Rawhide. The machin-
cry for the generating plant at Lundy
is arriving and being set up, and there
is every reason to believe that by the
time Santa Claus comes around w will
be able to substitute colored incandes-
cent lights for the little wax candles
on the Christmas tree.

Cave VALLEY WAITING
FOR RAILROAD lines

PIOCHE, August 2.-E. L. Robert
son, who is a substantial and prosper
GUS resident of Cave valley in the
northern part of Lincoln county, was in
the city on a brief business trip this
week and stated that he is developing
the Santa Marta group of claims in the
Cave Valley mining district with a
marked degree Of success.
He has opened a 3o-foot copper-gold
vein which explorations in tunnels
and shafts show to contain average
values of 8 per cent copper, z ounces
silver and 20 cents in gold. The ledge
has a quartzite foot-wall and shale
hanging and has been prospected on
the surface along it's strike for q
distance of 5000 feet. Several shafts
have been sunk, ranging from 60 to
so feet in depth; but energy is now
being conferred on permanent work in
driving a tunnel into the mountain
which will give a depth under the
apex, of about 1000 feet. Engineers
who have examined the mine recently
report that as soon as this is accom-
plished, with the necessary crosscuts
run, ETC., there will be exposed no
less than $4,000, 900 tons of ore.
Notwithstanding that the Santa
Marta contains better values than the
big mines of Bingham or Ely, we
-ealize,o declared Mr.. Robertson,
.'that we are handicapped to place the
mine upon a self sustaining basis wv
ing to its isolation from the railroads.
We are 60 miles from either Phoebe or
Ely; but we are going right on with
development with the confidence that
when we can show a large enough ton
mage the railroad will come. Our great
est hope is to see the Phoebe branch
of the Salt Lake Route extended on
to Ely
Mr.. Robertson says that the farm
ing industry in Cave Valley is on
the improve and that more products
of the soil will be raised there this
year than ever before in the history
of that country. Mr.. Robertson owns
several farms and has one of them
leased to Warren Strong of Provo,
Utah, who this week shipped in a car
load of farm implements and livestock.
Some interest is being received, Mr..
Robertson says, in the Cave Valley
oil field and the Ely-Cave Valley Oil
company will probably undertake the
development of its property soon.

COALITION Mine AT
SEVEN 7ROUGHS BUSY

SEVEN TROUGHS, August 2.-The
new boiler for the wihuja is in place
and by the first of the week all con.
nections will be made and everything
will be in readiness to resume work
in the west crosscut which was sus-
pended recently on account of the
excessive flow of water encountered
when the east vein of the Mazuma
Hills system was pierced. Meanwhile
the men are stopping ore in the third,
fourth and fifth levels. The ore in the
bottom level which is going to the mill
is the highest grade of mill rock which
the company has ever had; much of the
rock running as high as $500 a ton.
The ore on the other levels will aver
age about $50.
On the kindergarten some ore is be-
ing stopped on the fifth level but by far
the richest and best ore is being taken
out between the second and third
levels. In the west end of the stope
up from the third, the vein shows con-
siderably more than a foot in width
and is of high grade.
The Wine which is being sunk from
the third level of the kindergarten to
furnish air on the bottom levels is now
down ninety feet and is in good ore.
The Coalition mine as a whole, never
looked better than it does today and
with the facilities now had for work
ing the property at depth the produc-
ton, which now taxes the mill to its
capacity, will be greatly increased.

RYE PATCH CO.. Held
ITS ANNUAL Meeting

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 90
With two sets of leasers doing active
development work and with plans on
foot for building a plant to treat the
bodies of milling ore which have been
opened, affairs of the Rye Patch Con
solidated Mining company were shown
at the annual meeting of stockholders
to be in fairly satisfactory condition.
While development of the property
has been encouraging,to the extent
that with a mill on the ground there is
believed to be no doubt that it could
be at once placed upon a paying basis,
the management has been disappointed
in being unable thus far to open a body
of high grade ore of sufficient extent
to enable it to inaugurate a shipping
campaign which would provide means
for building the mill which is needed.
punches of extremely high grade ore
have been encountered at different
times. and several times those in charge
have been confident that they had
broken into chambers of the rich ore,
like those which made the mine famous
in early days. But, while the punches
of high grade have served to raise to
high milling average the value of the
large bodies of ore, they have not de-
veloped into the strong shoots prom
ised.
This situation is accounted for, it is
believed. by the fact that the new tun-
mel level is between two bedding planes.
The old Borland stope, from which
| SO. OOO. 900 were taken, is IN a bedding
lDlane about 100 feet above the tunnel
level; another plane is about the same
distance below the tunnel. The assure
upon which the tunnel has opened q
great body of ore, averaging around
$I2 a ton, is the west vein in the
property. The two assures upon which
are the old workings parallel that vein
some distance toward the east. A
crosseut is now nearing the two east
veins, and when they are reached 1t is
believed that both raising n SINKING

feet. Since the beginning of operations
an average of five feet a day has been
made and the company is within less
than 200 feet of THEN own ground. The
management is quite confident Of en-
countering another shoot of ore before
the drift is completed and arrange
ments have been made whereby any ore
disclosed in the drift before it reaches
the Florence boundary may be follow
ed and worked.
That the Florence lease will prove
one of the bonanzas of the district
when opened up at the 600 seems very
probable in the light of its past record.
The winze which has been sunk from
the 800 level to a depth of los feet
shows some of the best ore which the
mine has produced and much of it is
high grade gold. For six months now
the lease has been producing steadily
and there is no present indication of
exhausting the ore in the upper levels.
At present they are stopping between
the 200 and 800 levels and the produc-
ton is constant.
The middle of the month a carload
of concentrates and high grade silver
ore was sent to the smelter and a big
shipment of gold and silver bullion was
made to the mint.

MINING MEN WILL FIGHT
THE CONSERVATION BILLS

s'There is no doubt that the NOR
tai blow at the prime industry of
the west that is continued in the con-
s~ervation bills will be emphatically
resented at the Los Angeles meeting
said a prominent official of the min
ing congress today. "These bills pro-
vide in effect that the remaining coal
lands shall be leased by the federal
government, a part only of the pro-
ceeds to be paid to the water power
shall be controlled by the general gov
eminent. Added to the burdens al
ready placed upon mining by the for
est service, the regulations concern
ing the location and patenting OF
claims, and the use of timber, etc.,
the policy of taking the remaining re-
sources from the control of the state
constitutes so radical a departure
from the system under which western
development has already gone for
ward. that it will retard all western
development, and mining as the prin-
cipal western industry will suffer most
heavily"
According to the program of the
congress, three Denver men, Genera.
Irving Hale, Herbert s. Sands and
Charles A. Chase, win give the report
of a committee which is investigating
the STANDARDIZATION of equal equip
ment in metal m lining. Colonel A. q.
Brownie of Idaho Springs will ad'
dress the convention as the repre-
sentative of a committee which is In

had the development of the camp
oeen undertaken on company account
from the beginning, it is safe to say
that a greater amount of ground show
ing values would now be opened up.
Assays of the sulphide ore encount-
cred show that this sulphide is of
an extremely high grade and is indeed
a favorable indication warranting the
development of the camp at depth
with a reasonable expectation of find.
ing a decent sized ore shoot which
will change Rawhide from the pros
pect class to the proved mine class.
The addition of a cyanide plant to
the Murray mill, recently purchased
by the Queen company, will enable the
to secure a profit on a lower
grade ore than ever before and will ma
assist in the development of
the camp by stimulating mining OPP
erations on the part of the leasers
themselves.
In conclusion Mr.. Herzig stated he
believed that active development OPP
e~rations were warranted by the show
ings, and that there was every reason
TO believe that a highly successful out
would result.

SHIPPING ORE FROM
The ELDORADO Mines

LAS VEGAS, August 2.-While
waiting a time wnen a local custom
plant will be put in operation IN the
Eldorado district, a number of opera
tors the past month have busted them
selves taking out ore for shipment to
the reduction plant of the u. ). he
ining & Smelling company, located at
Needles, Cal.
While property owners generally are
opposed to the plan of working their
mines and prospects, involving charges
for mining, sorting, freight and treat
ment running $50 per ton and up,
many of them have demonstrated ship
ments can be proftably made.
Babcock & Schauss, leasing on the
Ephstrete, have recently forwarded to
the Needles plant a shipment running
around 5000 per ton gold. They have
not yet reached sulphide ore in the Eph-
strete. which is located between the
Eldorado Crown and the Jubilee.
Brodegee & Marx made a shipment
of lead-gold ore from their property a
half mile northwest of the Techatticup,
valued at $3.50 per ton.
Wamelkin & Touroff shipped from
their claims west of the Eagle a con-
signment sampling $67 gold and silver,
7 per cent lead and 2 per cent copper.
The Capital Mines company shipped
a car last week averaging 500 per ton.
The new hoist is in place on the Iron
shaft and every convenience at hand
for extensive operations. Eighteen
men are employed.
Harris & Crozier, working over the
Fortuna dump, have forwarded a snip
ment valued at 5000 per ton.
1t is reported work will start on the
smelter concentration plant about aug
ust LIST.
The Mizpah at Mob Hill has opened
a fine vein on the 800, which shows ore
valued as high as $1,000 per ton Inc
Mizpah is considered to nave passed
the prospect stage, and is having re-
markable success, though not unex-
pected.
