pRoGRESSIVE OPERATIONS
OF SMOKEY DEVELOPMENT.

Many Salt Lake investors are keep
ing an interesting eye upon the OPP
CREATIONS of the Smokey Development
of Ely, as the work being
ACCOMPLISHED on this ground has an
important bearing upon the destiny
of several other propositions nearby
in which Utah capitalists are inter-
ested. among which is the Federal
Ely company. In a recent letter E.
w. Ralph of Ely gives the following
details of the Smokey Development
work. as published in the Salt Lake
Tribune:
A series of drill holes were put down
about a year ago, not of necessity to
block out ore, but with the view of
determining with some degree of ac-
cnraey the most feasible methods of
onening and developing the ore
bodies already known to exist in the
nrnnerty. It appears that a tunnel,
advised as the proper means whereby
tbe ore could be most expeditiously
and properly opened. did not meet
White Pine news weekly mining review. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1910-1920, 1912-09-29

with entire approval of all parties
concerned.
The drilling of the ground, how
ever, with churn drills showed very
clearly that this projected tunnel
would be by far the best way to
quickly and cheaply open up the ore
bearing ground. Actual work on this
tunnel commenced about the middle
of June last and the forebreast Is
today 1857 feet from the portal and
headed directly toward drill hole No.
3. The site selected for the mouth
of the tunnel strikes every one here
as being an ideal one. 1t is quite
close to the main line of the Nevada
Northern railway and just thirty feet
above it, affording every facility for
the cheap handling of ore when
equipped with the necessary bins, etc.
The tunnel will crosscut the whole
porphyry area, which is approximate
ly sixty acres in extent and will de-
velop, at a vertical depth of about
400 feet a contact between the lime
stone and porphyry which is pro-
nounced by officials of the Nevada
Consolidated Copper company to be
equal If not superior to anything of
its kind in the Ely district as regards
its general appearance on surface and
the likelihood of its containing COM
paratively high grade copper ores in
the sulphide zone. The fact that the
tunnel above mentioned will cut this
contact at such an important depth
is particularly interesting as good
grade ores in your property would
mean that holdings of the Smokey
Development company in Ely are of
immense value. AS to the chances of
this contact carrying pay ore, / may
say that 1t can be readily traced on
the surface a distance of 800 feet
and exposures made on it show that

width and carries splendid looking
copper carbonates, the earnest of
sulphide ores below.
Going back to the porphyry again:
There appear to be at least six por-
phyry areasin Ely district; beginning
at the west end of the camp there is
the Veteran, Giroux, Eureka, Ruth,
Sunset and Smokey areas of this ore
producing material. The first five
mentioned are developed and contain
a tonnage of commercial %porphyry
ore that can only be computed by
millions. The sixth and the one we
are now considering Is Just being
opened and bids fair to measure up to
the standard of the leading porphyry
mines of Ely.

SENATOR MASSEY.

Standing squarely before the peo-
pie of this state as the logical sue
cessor to himself in the United States
senate, Hon. ". A. Massey, whose ap-
pointment to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Nixon was
accepted by the people and press as
thoroughly satisfactory, now comes
before the people asking that the ap-
pointment be ratified. Senator Mas
sey comes forward deserving of the
honor. He has the ability, the power
of expressing himself clearly, an
analytical mind and an experience in
public affairs which counts so much.
He is a thorough Nevadan, a man
who would battle for the interests of
the state with intelligence and good
judgment.
When Senator Massey was appoint
ed, he Immediately left for Washing
ton and we find him on the floor ofthe
senate engaging in serious debate on
the great live issues of the day, with
in a fortnight, Matching his
%eloquence with the brightest men of
the senate, Senator Massey defended
American principles in an able man
ner. There was no hesitancy upon
his part in entering the battle. 1t is
but the nature of the man. Senator
Massey is a fighter. He will serve
the state of Nevada with greater
credit than any other man suggested
for the position. Senator Massey is
not an unknown quantity. He is
broadminded, liberal, conscientious
and has the oratorical power to ex-
press himself clearly and to the point.
He is eminently fitted to occupy a
seat in the United States senate and
he is deserving the votes of all eiti-
zens who have the welfare of the
state at heart.
Just at present Senator Massey is
touring the state in the interests of
his campaign. If the opportunity
presents itself to hear him speak,
take advantage of it. Meet the SEN
ator personally. You will make the
acquaintance of a man of the people,
a self made mar who knows the state
of Nevada and the needs of the peo-
pie of the state intimately.
A vote for Senator Massey is a
vote for the welfare of the state and
you know what that means just at
this perod when we are entering upon
a constructive period in our ex-
istence.-Reno Gazette.
