Few Properties Are Fit.

1.-THE search for new mines. TO enlarge
the sphere OF operations OF the company,
has been Systematically carried on. Our
work has consisted both in sending our
own engineers into favorable districts
to investigate and In considering prop
critics brought to us by outside engineers
and others interested in mining. The
total number OF properties thus submitted
Is very large, averaging around 80 per
month thus far. or these. many are
eliminated after careful study of the re-
ports and maps which are presented, and
are declined either as OF no value or not
suitable to the company's purposes. Ger
tain kinds OF mines are eliminated be-
cause they are outside OF the class in
which the Tonopah Mining company feels
that by experience and equipment 1t can
rank as a specialist.
MANY Of the properties brought in are
rejected at once on account OF small size
OF ore bodies, too high price, too strin-
gent terms of sale, or difficult condi-
tions Of operation. Those which appear
attractive are selected and made the ba-
sis for further negotiations, and inquiry;
and II this Is satisfactory options are
secured giving opportunity for careful
examination. measurement OF ore, and
appraisal OF future probabilities. A pre-
report is made by one OF the
staff engineers; II this is favorable, the
property Is examined briefly by myself and
a decision is made as to an exhaustive
examination

CHINO PLANT DOING
MUCH BETTER WORK
Sulphide Ores Being Treated
Permit Greater Saving at
Concentrator.

Reports from the east Tuesday were to
the effect that there has been splendid
improvement In the extraction Of values at
the concentrating plant OF the Chino com
pany OF New Mexico. an extraction OF as
high as - TO 73 per ccut being achieved
The management Is getting tho nose OF
the steam shovels into the sulphlde ores,
whereas the oxidized ores have been going
through the mill, these oxldized tonnascs
everything the sulphidcs and were OF neccs
sity extracted first.
Three sections OF the Chino concen
traitor are operating. about 1000 tons OF ore
daily are being treated, and the rate OF
production has been at about 1000 600
pounds of copper monthly. The mill has
been saving about twentyfour and half
pounds OF copper TO the ton. With
saving of rs por cent on ore averaging
% per cent copper tho management now
is saving thirty-two pounds OF copper per
ton SO the reason for qualification In the
eastern Chino circles is evident
The Chino is one OF the marvels OF the
w-grade porphyry industry. Its tonnage
is not only high grade in character the
54, $50, 646 tons OF demonstrated ore aver
aging 2.24 per cent copper. but about 60
per cent of this Is to be mined by the
steam shovel method, thereby assuring q
low production cost. Reports have the
present cost of production close TO cents

Two Being Considered.

During the last three months some %
properties, roughly speaking. have been
examined in the field. Of which about 10
were inspected by the writer. Two OF
these properties examined are considered
favorably at present and these are being
carefully examined by our staff engineers.
There are several other attractive prop
critics that are about to be investigated"
Regarding the mine during the past
year the following report OF the super
intendent OF mines will prove interest
ing,

necessary by the surface ground under

J. E. SPURR'S REPORT

One of the most striking features OF
the annual report OF tho Tonopah Mining

"As a result of my recent visits to

on smoothly and economically. Develop

HALIFAX STILL AIMS

At the Halifax-T -Tonopah Mining COM

made In the sinking Of the new main

of 1l6O feet, in formation OF rhyolite

heavily mincraized and shows a large
number OF stringers OF quartz, carry
ing the usual proportionatc values Of
gold and silver characteristic OF the
of very low grade. The management,
however. considers that these are an eX-
