SHELTER EQUIPMENT
FOR MASON VALLEY
LARGE CONSIGNMENTS ARE ON
THE WAY FROM EASTERN FAC
TORIES AND MANY MEN WILL
SOON BE EMPLOYED.

Every effort is being made TO hurry
the construction on the Mason Valley
smelling plant at Thompson. Some
delays have been experienced in the
delivery of material and equipment,
but more supplies are now being re-
eeived. The new engine and ore
ears are arriving and the Mason Val.
ley News chronicles these vents as
follows:
Somewhere on the road between a
steel plant of American Bridge COM
pany and Thompson fifteen carloads
of structural steel for the smelter
construction is heading this way.
The shipment was started some days
ago. and is expected to reach Wa
buska at n time now. Scattering
shipments of steel have been drifting
in, mostly of the kind that is to be
used for the dust chamber arch sup
ports; In this coming consignment,
however, is sufficient material to en-
ploy a lot of men in erecting the
buildings. This work will be under
taken as soon as the stack is COM
pleted, and hosting machinery "a
be taken from that feature of the
works.
The stack will likely be topped OF
by July Is; the work there has on
several occasions been retarded by
extremely high winds, the velocity
attained reaching a point to drive the
masons below. On Tuesday the top
of the brick work measured 1O2 feet
above the foundation, showing that
more than half the material in this
structure is laid as the eircumfer-
ence diminishes with the heighth.
The heaviest portion of the great
crusher is in place now, down in the
pit of the sampling mill, and a force
of men Is engaged in lowering the
auxiliary crushers and installing the
incidental parts and fixtures.
At the machine shops temporary
power has been installed to operate
some of the lathes and drills, and a
few machinists are to be noted work
Ing in that department. The mas
ter mechanic, Mr.. Nesbit, says there

small, made by men who are not
satisfied with the 4 to 6 per EN- that
the ordinary safe" investment
affords.
And yet these owl-eyed magazine
and newspaper writers refuse to con-
slider mining a business which can be
conducted along business lines.
We contend that we'll considered
mining investment and the average of
we'll chosen mining speculations are
not only legitimate investments or a
fair part of the business mans money
but that they are more likely to prove
profitable to him than a great major
ity of business chances that come to
him from day to day.-The New
York Mining Age.
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1911-07-09

is now plenty Of work for his men,
and things are beginning to move
along toward great activity at that
point of the works.
Stand poles and electric light and
power wires are being strung owe
every part of the smeltery works, as
well as along the streets of Thomp-
son, preparatory to Illuminating the
whole. This week surveyors laid off
1900 linear feet of concrete side
walks along the streets of Thompson,
and the Hughes Construction COM
pany is putting them down. The
pedestrians there will not have to
plough sand.
Along with numerous carloads of
brick received this week was a car
load of we'll casing, to be used in
connecting the water wells with the
reservoir that stands above the en-
tire works and will supply the smell
terry proper. This reservoir has the
capacity of 100000 gallons.
Engine No. 2 of the Copper Belt
railroad was pulled into the round
house here and she is being put in
shape for a trial spin over the tracks;
after careful inspection she will go
into commission at once, and No. l
will be given the overhauling she de-
serves and needs.
The new engine Is of the latest type
built by the Lima Locomotive works,
and is just out of the shops new,
having been constructed under orders
to turn out a locomotive that will be
best adapted to the particular uses
of the Copper Belt, in transporting
ore to the smeltery works at Thomp-
son.
The new locomotive left the fac
tory on the first day of June, and
was exactly thirty days on the road
to Mason; a hostler came with her,
living in the cab, and he pronounced
1t the most desolate trip of his life.
The locomotive came as dead freight,
and owing to its weight was at
tached to the slowest trains oper-
ated.
Engine No. 2 is the advance in
stallment of the Copper Belt equip
ment for the ore haul. The ore cars,
forty-ive in number, will leave the
eastern steel works during July, and
are expected to reach Mason by Aug
ust 1. The cars are coming as far
as Utah loaded with coke, by special
arrangement, and efforts are being
made to load them out of Utah with
Castle Valley coal, a product that
Is owned by the same interests that
control the Copper Belt. The diff.
Guilty has been to find a market fol
a shipment of forty-fve carloads oil
coal at this season, in Nevada.

EASTERN PAPERS
AGAINST MINING
LARGELY THROUGH IGNORANCE
THEY ASSUME AN ATTITUDE
THAT Is WHOLLY UNFAIR TO
A GREAT INDUSTRY.

There are certain newspapers,
magazines and financial journals pub
t,ahed in New York and elsewhere
whose editors hold up their hands In
holy horror every time any one refers
a mining inquiry to them, or asks of
them any information concerning any
speculative enterprise, mining or in
dustrial. They say:
Don't go into mining unless you
want to lose your money"
mo, mining-no extra hazardous
advertising. al buy space In our
columns
1--WE advise you to keep out of
mining unless you are willing TO take
great risks"
1--WE claim that this attitude is
wholly unfair to a great industry.
There Is ignorance, widespread
and dense. on the subject of mining
among men who assume to advise on
mining securities. They condemn
them as a class. This Is sheer ASSN
unity. The only possible excuse these
men can have for throwing discredit
Upon mining by their universal con-
demnation OF mining enterprises Is
that II Is more important from their
standpoint. that the investors keep
out of speculative enterprises. where
his money is at risk, than that the
mining industry gets the financial en-
couragement that is fairly its due.
The following are truisms:
The products of the mines are
among the most important commodi-
ties OF commerce.
They actually furnish the bulk of
the freights and the major part of the
revenues of the railroads.
On the precious metals of the
financial systems and the business OF
the world are built.
The rewards of mining are seen in
the prosperity of hundreds of towns
and cities East and West. and in
thousands of fortunes. large and
