EAGLE VALLEY Mine
SHOWING RICH Ore

Encountering of picture rock in an
eight-foot body of high-grade milling
ore in the property of the Eagle Valley
Mining Company, a corporation formed
and financed exclusively by millmen
of the McGill concentration, is caus-
ing Carson City to see visions OF itself
as the center of a high class mining dis
trict. Late advices from the mine are
that the rich streak in the Eagle Val
ley ledge has opened to six inches OF
$4,000 ore, with the entire body OF
quartz showing improvement.
Jacob Muller, former owner Of the
Athens group, believes that the discov-
cry will mean more for that locality
than has anything that has taken place
for wears. 1t will bring to the atten'
ton of mining men. he says, the fact
that the city is surrounded by a rich
mineral belt; p~rospectors will be at

TONOPAH MINES SETTING
NEW PRODUCTIVE RECORD

A comparison of the net profits fol-
several months back proves an inter
essing factor in the development of the
Belmont, says the Tonopah Bonanza.
The new ledge was discovered ON the
1100-foot level in January, and the
net profits for the month of December
totaled $40, 3O6. The January returns
show the profits to be $52,54S, an in
crease of $36,242.
1t remained for the month of June
for the Belmont 10 demonstrate to the
mining world that it was a conner, for
the returns showed a profit of $751;, 765.
july returns showed $141, $50 and the
211,2 50 profits of August show IN in
crease of $4,000.
So great are the ore bodies of
the Belmont, that outside of two
slopes, one on the 1000 and the other
on the 1100-foot levels, the production
has been the result of development
work on the three lower levels. The
vein has shown a width varying from
ii to 40 feet, all carrying good milling
values. The immensely and e~apabihty
of the ore body is shown where 1T IS
known that it has been exposed for $50
feet on the 1000-foot level, 700
| feet on the 1100-foot level and $50 feet
| on the l166-foot level. In addition the
body has been proven to extend upward
above the 900-foot level and downward
below the 1166-foot level, and how far
in either direction remains so be prov
en-. as the vein is strong in both extrem'
tiles and there is every reason to be
lieve that it will extend in both dI-
| rections for a considerable distance.
The August report shows that a sotal
of 1892 tons of ore were sent TO NIL
lers to be treated at the company mill
while 1871 tons were shipped to the
smelter. The ore shipped had a gross
value of 1927 1892. The mill produced
23l,247, O77 ounces of gold and silvel
bullion. The ore shipped to the smeltel
brought returns of 210,261, S34 ounces
of the same metals.
The stock yesterday closed a
1920 bid and opened this morning a
$4.32b. This is taken as an indication
that the next dividend will be in exces
of 10 per cent, as vas declared during

or against any of the parties to said
cause, or in any manner arising out of
said litigation.
"2nd. That said suit shall be dis
missed forthwith, by order Of court, en-
tered on the minutes of court, on mo-
ton of any of the parties hereto, such
order to be pursuant to, and in accord
ance with the terms hereof
A motion was also made to dismiss
the suit of VIM. veith and Milo Pla-
manez versus the Manhattan Dexter
company. The motion was granted by
Judge Averill.
Already the results of the end of
litigation are to be noticed at Manhat-
tan, according to reports received from
that camp during the past few days.
A number of leasers are hammering
away while others are making prepare
tions to start operations. The Shea
placer lease is reported to be extract
ing a neat quantity of the yellow metal,
work having started only lately.
AT the annual meeting of the Dexter
company, the majority of the time was
spent in trying to settle all matters at
issue, under an agreement, and this was
done only after many days labor. 1t
was agreed then that the suits fled
against the company would be dis
missed, an agreement to that effect
was signed by the different parties.
Now hat the litigation is out of the
way, the camp should once more come
into it's own, and before many months
pass it should be the banner district of
northern Nye county.

the last of August. The 15-cent divi-
dend, it is believed, was declared IN
order that a regular standard could be
created. As indications point to the
coming dividend being larger, the
amount over Is cents will be declared
as an extra dividend.
The report of the net profits from
the Tonopah Mining company for the
month of August show the treasury to
have been increased $165 900. During
The month of August the company
mined and miiled a total of 15,432 dry
tons of ore showing an average value
of $20.60 per ton, from which a total
of 21,735 pounds of bullion valued at
s239,000, and l2S toes of concentrates
valued at $57 800 were obtained.
The sum of $12,506 was realized in
net profits by the West End in August.
Although steady work has been in prog
ress in this mine for the last five years,
it was not until six months ago that OPP
erations assumed such proportions that
the output began to be considered as
an important item in the camps weekly
production. Extensive operations are
now under way and the net earnings
give promise of being greatly increased
as the months pass by. The present
showing is a high compliment to Gen
eral Manager Brady, who instituted a
new system of development when he
took charge of the property.
The annual report of the Montana
Tonopah Mining company was made
public at the annual meeting held last
week at Salt Lake and shows the earn
ings for the fiscal year ending August
81 to be $134,700. The company now
has $177, 1925 in cash on hand with
the estimated value of the bullion and
concentrates outstanding and unsettled
amounting to $43,525, making a total
of 1921, 277.35.
The Tonopah Extension is right
in line. when the report for August
is considered. This company earned
| during the past month the neat sum
of $29, 900. This report places the Ex-
tension well up in the line of money
makers of this camp and at the present
rate Of production, the new mill viii
soon be completely paid for, leaving
the concern free from debt.

RICH FIND is REPORTED
FROM THE CHIQUlTA HILLS

with magnificent results. In this depth
the streak increased to from II to Is
inches, the whole being decidedly high
grade.
The shaft was then continued on
down to 20 feet, where a drift, like the
one at 40 feet, is under way. Already
the face is in good values, but it is
thought the best is in advance.
In addition to this work other shafts
have been sunk, all of which have
attractive s~howings. Some of these
shafts are IN parallel leads. The first
lease has been let to Norman link, who
is now engaged in taking out pay ore.
Mr.. Kerwin is now arranging for a
gasoline hoist, and his plan is to thor

One of the first automobile parties to
go down from Searchlight was made up
of Mayor j. E. Emerson, 7. A. Brown
and DR.. w. L.. Fuller. These gentle
men secured a choice location and have
already put a small force to work.
The Chiquita Hills are by no means
unknown to mining men, for as long
ago as a dozen years a man by he
name of Howard is credited with tax
ing out at least 100000. For the great
err part he worked aided only by his
wife. Howard would mine the ore

mill. Some ore was afterwards taken
out by the Chiquita Consolidated, ana
at the time the company got entangled
financially the development in progress
was very promising. The property is
at the present time in litigation. fhls
mine. known as the Chiquita, is some
two miles south of Kerwin s.
All who have viewed the kerwin

If Grand Valley fruit growers will
but look close enough they will see
something taking place in their orch
ards these days that will give them
much for which to be thankful for.
This season. so hot and dry, has
proven one of the most favorable for
cooling moth development in recent
years. but the growers have on the
other hand put up such desperate
spraying battle that the crop is going
to be an exceedingly creditable one,
upon the whole, after all.
For several weeks tiny bee para
site has been coming to the rescue of
the orchardists in the codlng moth
campaign. This little bee feeds upon
the egg Of the motA. being so small It's
to develop by twos and even threes in
single cooling moth egg and the
coddling moth egg is smaller than a
common pin head. The bee is so small
that SO of them placed end to end
would extend but one inch. They can
scarcely be seen with the naked eye,
even the closest scruting making them
appear only as mere specks of redish
brown dust Magnitied. they will be
seen to have four pretty, transparent
wings. veined and clothed with rows
of fine hair. reddish eyes and brown

or fly so quickly that their movements
are invisible.

about June 10; at least on that date
