Amalgamated Section.

On the Amalgamated section very
little development work has been done,
although its surface area is Indicative
OF as large bodies of ore as any other
part Of the Nevada Douglas holdings.
Numerous open pits and shafts have
been sunk for short distances over the
surface, all of which show a consider
able quantity OF low-grade ores, with
evidence of teaching.
The low grade ores found on the
Douglas Hill, Casting Copper and Anal.
gamated sections are all amenable TO
teaching by sulphuric acid. Extensive
laboratory tests have been made wit
these ores and it is found that ores
with valuation of from ~ per cent
up can be worked by this method, with
saving Of from 90 TO 90 per cent.
During the year 1912, l23,800 tons of
ore averaging about AIS per cent in cop.
per have been shipped TO the smelter. OF
this 1858 tons were mined in the Lud-
wig mine and "A ,93l tons were mined
from the Douglas Hill section. The re-
naming $50 tons were mined from other
portions OF the property. The average
daily tonnage from all parts of the prop
erty is now about $50 tons per day and
ii IS the intention OF the management
TO gradually increase this tonnage from
now on.
There has been a gradual increase in
the net earnings Of the Nevada Douglas
Copper company since shipments began
and during the month of October the
net earnings were $4,000 Overland above
all expenses. The auditors cost sheets
for November and December have not
as yet been completed, but when this
is done they should show that these
two months are the banner months Of
the year from the standpoint Of earn
