OuTPUT FROM THE BIG PIT
CONTINUES UNABATED IN
ADDITION To OPENING Up
ADJOINING TERRITORY.

The output OF the steam shovel pit
of Nevada Consolidated continues
unabated, even In the face of several
OF the steam shoyels being employed
in stripping new ore. The shovels
are working like little demonds, par
ticularlv in the south. southwest and
southeast corners OF the excavation.
At the entrance to the pit they
are still working, widening the ap-
proaeh to make the passage of the
ore trains more feasible They have
about reached the least percentage of
grade which can now be obtained Tor
their tracks and in the very near
future new locomotives are expected
which will take the place OF the
"dinky" engines and convey great
number of ore cars out of the bottom
of the pit to the storage yards. A
steam shovel is engaged on one OF
the upper terraces on the western
side of the excavation tearing out the
overburden and extending the pit
on that side in the direction OF the
Liberty pit.
In the Liberty PIT Woih - on,
going on with undated vigor and
everything will be plain sailing by
the time the first steam shovel ar
riyes. This. by the way is not ex-
pected to reach here until October.
Last week we were pretty well In
farm that the first of these shovels
would reach here in about ten days.
Now we have the assurance that II
will be October before the great
SCOOP reaches Copper Flat. This will
however, In no way retard the work
They are laying tracks. running sur
veys, putting down pipes and inst all
ing water tanks and the new pit Is al
ready the height of industry.

BRIGHTER DAYS ARE NEAR At
HAND FOR THE COPPER MARKET

restricting production until the situ-
alton clears. The increase in the de-
mand for copper will come with the
bettering of the industrial situation
and there are reasons why this
should happen in the very near flu
ture. 1t may be that the big copper
producers have already gotten to-
gether. Straws indicate which way
the vino blows. Last week We were
informed upon what appeared to be
very reliable authority that the first
steam shovel for the Liberty pit of
the Nevada Consolidated was to ar
rive in ten days. Now We are in
formed that the shovel will not be in
evidence until October
Now it may be that the actual pro-
duction of the ore from the new pit
has been delayed in accordance with
the agreement to curtail the output
of ore until the demand was again in
consonance with the supply. The
non-arrival of the shovel at the Lib
erty will not work any hardship to
the district for there is plenty of
work to be done before the actual
production of ore. A large gang of
men is employed at the Liberty al
ready and the force will be increased
rather than diminished.

ROCCO HoMEsTAKE SOLD.
Former Dividend Paying Mine Sold
to Satisfy judgment.

To satisfy judgment of 81 ,633.33
the property of the Rocco Homestake
Mining CO., in Swansea conyon, near
Hamilton, was sold at sheriff's sale
yesterday afternoon and bought by
Gust Simon. who held the Judgment.
For a number OF years this COM
pany paid the only bullion tax In
White Pine county and was the
source of considerable revenue TO the
county
1t was originally owned by Rocco
kragnaZ. one of the old timers OF
this section. who worked II for a
number of years and then sold II 10
Eureka parties. among them o. j.
and b. l.. Smith. who are under In
dictment for violating the state bank
ing laws.
The property was worked for a
couple of years by the new owner
and netted many thousands of dol
lars In profits. after which II was In
corporated and the dividends paid in
tho next few years were considerably
over 10000.
Owing to lack OF money on the
part of the Smiths, who became heav-
lily interested In southern Nevada
mining ventures. the mine was gut
ted and no development work prose-
cuted. and rs the machinery was not
heavy enough for the deep workings,
1t became necessary TO close II down
and Gust Simon was placed in charge
as watehman and in was for this
service he received judgment
According to reports OF eminent
engineers. who have inspected the
property recently. the Rocco Home
stake is a very valuable estate and
with the expenditure OF the necessary
money for the installing of machin-
cry and development work, 1t can
again be placed in the dividend pay
ing column. IL is reasonable to ex-
pect the property will be taken over
by the receiver of the Eureka County
bank. as that defunct institution
holds claim against the company
for over $4,000 and In order to pro-
tect the interests OF the bank, II VIII
be necessary TO pay off the amount
of the judgment and interest.

pERMANENCY OF
CAMP APPARENT.
EDITOR OF NEW YORK PAPER
is AMAZED OVER PROGRESS
MADE IN DISTRICT DURING
THE PAST YEAR.

Mr.. Rice. editor of the Mining FL
nancial News of New York, whose
paper has given great publicity to
this district was here during the
week for the first time in a year. He
expressed himself as amazed at the
developments and improvements
which had been going on at Copper
Flat since his last visit and said that
there was no doubt of the future of
the district.
" The big things which are being
done in the way of improvements ap-
peal very strongly to me" said Hr.
Rice, "and show that the work is be-
ing done for lasting operations.
There is an immense amount of min
eralization in these hills and the
ground has hardly been scratched" >"
This is certainly true of such prop
critics as the Giroux Consolidated and
the Ely Central. On the ground of
both these properties there Is con-
siderable machinery, the character
of which indicates that both eompan-
les are preparing for long seiges of
mining operations. These are the
best evidences of the stability of the
district. Both of these properties
are employing at the present time as
many men as they can use and with
the approach of the fall IL is safe to
predict that the forces will be doubl-
ed. They are putting more men to
work on the steam shovel pit of the
Nevada Consolidated and there will
be a continual increase of the forces
In the Liberty pit. There Is general
activity all over the district. as a
matter of fact, and there is no let up
in the work from Copper Flat to
Smelterville. In view of the stories
which reach US from the outside of
the unsettled conditions In the in
dustrials, Ely has no cause for COM
plant and the chances of her con-
ditions improving are hundred 10
one.

TWOHUNOREO0N
G|ROUX PAY ROLL
INSTALLATION OF MASSIVE MA
CHINERY INDICATION OF OP-
ERATIONs TO BE CARRIED ON
IN THE FUTURE.

At the Giroux Consolidated more
than two hundred men are employed
and this force it is promised will be
largely increased as the fall ap-
proaches and the progress of the
work makes it necessary. Apart from
the ore which it is known has been
developed by shafts and churn drills,
the appearance above ground Is very
impressive and interesting. At the
Giroux five compartment shaft there
are carloads of machinery on the
company's own track awaiting In
stallation.
The entire steel head frame Is on
the ground ready for installation.
The concrete foundation for it being
already in place. Down the hill to
the south and west of the big shaft
the permanent hosting plant will
soon be assuming shape, the excava-
tion work for it having been eomplet-
ed and the concrete prepared. In
various paris of the property churn
drills are seen in the hills, the work
of prospecting going on and on, in
creasing the ore reserve day by day.
Taken from any view point Gil
roIx Consolidated appeals to the
visitor as a mine of very great pro
portions. The massive machinery on
the ground indicates the great extent
of the mining operations to be car
ried on in the future. Vast sums Of
money have been and are being spent
by the company and the improve
ments show that they are being put
in for all time. The pumping station
at the twelve hundred foot point OF
/ the five compartment shaft Is rapidly
drawing near when the great work
of prosecuting to the rich Alpha vein
will be commenced.

ORE LINE TO Be
BUILT BY CLARK
INTERNATIONAL SMELLING CO.,
WILL COOPERATE IN CON-
STRUCTION OF ROAD BY WAY
OF DEEP CREEK.

That the Salt Lake Route, in CO.
operation with the International
Smelling company, will build a line
to Ely, by way of Deep Creek, over
the route that was surveyed, and
portion of 1t graded, several years
ago, is the firm conviction of one of
Salt Lakes most prominent mining
men-a man who is In position to
know and does know something of
what is going on in those quarters.
The International Smelling company
at this time has engineers in the
Deep Greek county looking up the
tonnages of ore available and in pros
pect. according to Salt Lake paper.
Building of the new railroad to
Deep Creek and Ely is the only
means by which the Cole-Ryan peo-
pie can hope to make a complete sue
cess of their new smelling plant at
Tooele, and to make it a success Is
assuredly what they set out to do"
said this mining man. THAT the Gil
roux ores are to be treated at the
ooele plant is foregone conclusion
and in the shipping of those ores
they cannot afford to be at the mercy
of their big competitor in the smelt-
ing field-the Guggenheims-as they
would be to ship over the Nevada
Northern.
THAT Senator Clark has long had
In mind the building OF the very line
of railroad which the Cole-Ryan peo-
pie need is proven by the survey hav-
ing been made and some twenty
miles of grade having been construc-
ted out of Tintic Junction. If there
was excuse for contemplating the
building of such line at the time
that work was done, there is urgent
demand for 1t at this time. Millions
are being expended in smelter con-
struction at Tooele, with the ores of
only one mine-Utah Consolidated
available for treatment In the plant
which is approaching completion.
"The Cole-Ryan people must have
a railroad to bring to that smelter
their own ores as well as other ores
required. They have the money
with which to build the railroad, II
It is necessary that they should pro-
vide II. They are not, perhaps, In
the railroad business; but what
could be more natural under the cir
cumstances, than for them. who

SNYDER GOES TO KEYSTONE.
Former Ely Con. Man Will Develop
Mines of His Own.

F. S. Snyder, whose resignation as
superintendent of the Ely Consolida-
ted Copper company's mines in Ely
took effect July l., is In the city, on
the way to take charge of his own
property; the Keystone mines. near
the famous Cortez district, which in
Nevada's early days made a produc-
tion of some $I9,000,0000 of silver
ore, says the Salt Lake Herald.
Mr.. Snyder has, during the last
two years, directed most effectively
the work at the Ely Consolidated
mines, and his resigning was due to
his desire to give closer attention to
his own interests. The position
which he has vacated has been ten
dered to James Quinn superintendent
of the Gold Circle Crown company's
property at Gold Circle. who is ex-
pected to assume his new duties at
an early date. Mr.. Quinn is well
known in Utah, he having formerly
been in charge of the Simpson mine
in Bingham, and later of the Cliff
mine in Orphir district. His most
recent work in TINS state was the
driving of the Indian Queen COM
pany's long tunnel.
In Mr.. Snyder's Keystone property.
which is in the same range of noun
tains as that in which is the Buck
horn mine, which George Wingfield
is making famous. about 5000 feet
of development work has been done.
Ore has been opened in four places,
and 1t has been developed to the
depth of 125 feet, with a crosscut
now being driven to open 1t on the
20O-foot level. The ore carries sill
yer. lead and copper and considerable
of 1t is high grade. Talk of a smelt-
er to be built at Cortez is an added
incentive for Mr. Snyder to push
further development of his mine.

need the road to cooperate with
the man who wants to build it?
1.-The proposed lines, approximate
ly 200 miles long, will for the most
part be one of easy grades and 1t will
be relatively inexpensive to build. 1t
should be able to transport ore from
Ely to Tooele at cost of $3.50,
probably as low as $1.25 ton. and
leave a margin of profit. Senator
Clark is accustomed to handling
large tonnages of ore and the busi-
ness which awaits the new line
should appeal to him.
THE line will begin to pick up ore
within twenty miles of Tintic juno
ton. where 1t will branch from the
main line. and Ii will be tapping min
ing camps at frequent intervals all
the way to Ely. After leaving Tintic
Junction 1t will pass through the
north end of Dugway district: 1t will
cross the desert at the narrow point
between Granite and cold Hill; 1t
will follow up Cane Springs canyon
into Deep Creek; from Deep Creek
Ii will run southwark to the neigh
borhood of the Cleveland ranch, and
from thence into Ely.
I'm point of large tonnage cap
able of paying reasonably good
transportation tariff II Will be one of
the best ore-hauling lines of railroad
in the west, and 1t will place the In
ternatienal smelling company IN po-
sition to build up at Tooele one of
the largest smelling centers in the
west-almost without touching the
field of either of it's competitors"

That drift has been in sulphides the

sulphides were first encountered they
did not carry values of moment, but
the metal contents have gradually

AS the large ore bodies In that for

No greater assurance of the belief

Doctors and Morphine.

A so-called morphine fiend''
has appealed to the medical pro
fession to stop converting sick
persons into hopeless mental and
physical wrecks by dosing them
with opium"
Such an appeal as this is wor-
thy of more than passing notice.
It is worthy of attention from
every member Of the medical
profession everywhere, and from
every person interested in hui
man welfare.
There has long been no room
for doubt that many doctors re-
sort recklessly to morphine to re-
press symptoms of diseases
which they are unable to dag
nose or too Indifferent to treat
properly.
Every great city has its large
crops of regularly licensed phys
icians who in their entire prac-
tice use little other medicine
than morphine in it's various
forms. It's true these are not
in good standing with the hon.
orable members of their profess
sion. But the fact that they can
exist is a ceaseleSs reproach to
all.
And, unfortunately, the free
administration of the seductive
drug is not confined among ply
icians of low standing and loose
morals. Leading physicians are
prone to resort promptly to this
ready method of relieving pain.
The habit of using the drug is
easily fixed, and hard to break,
and it may be traced probably in
a great majority of instances to
physicians prescriptions for the
temporary alienation of pain.
Whether ignorance, laziness or
carelessness causes such results,
it is morally inexcusable, if not
actually criminal.
1t is less cruel to permit a man
to suffer from temporary ills
than to permanently deprive him
Of health, mind and moral res
possibility.
Every case of morphine habit
traceable to a doctor is a reprach
to the medical profession, and
for their own credit physicians
are bound to find a remedy for
the evil.
1t is a matter that societies ex-
ercising control over the medical
profession cannot consider too
seriously. -Scimitar.
