tions will be issued before long. The
compsny's property in Mono county.
California, is said 10 be making an ex-
celent showing and the management has
much faith in its making a producing
mine with development.
Shipments OF ore averaging from S35
TO $50 per ton are being made regularly
from the Vernal property and the ore
has been proved continuously from the
l0O-foot level TO the surface. some OF the
product being exceedingly rich and car
rying free gold In good quantity. A
winze is being sunk from the l00-foot
level 10 follow the course of the ore
shoot and .he crosscut on the 300 foot
level is nearing the vein. Indications
are now highly favorable for a produc-
tion that VIII be profitable to the COM
pany. Lessees are working on the Dia-
mondneld Black Butte and have taken
out small shipments OF rich ore. The
Millapi lease Is driving for the extension
OF the famous quartzlte ore body from
which production OF more than $500, 900
worth OF shipping ore was mined. AL
Mccoy has been shipping ore OF good
grade from the upper levels OF the Cold
fold Belmont. Shipments are made from
the Nevada Eagle property, four miles
west OF town.

COST OF ELECTRIC
POWER IN NEVADA

One of the main factors tending
towards the successful operation OF the
mines OF the district is tho Nevada Cal
.fornia Power company The power for
Manhattan is generated at Bishop Creek.
CAL about 200 miles distant The branch
line TO Manhattan and Round Mountain
leaves the main line at Milers. New.
thirty-six miles from the Manhattan
The amount Of electrical power used
in the mining and milling operations OF
Mania ttan IL an average OF 5000 electri-
cal horsepower for each twenty-to
hours. being the same as 10000 ordinary
horsepower.
There are thirty different operators
using this power for hoists, compressors,
pumps. trummels. elevators. mills. etc.
this being exclusive OF the town light
ing system This is quite different from
three years ago, when the only power
used in mining operations was either
man, horse, gasoline or steam. The
present opera tons demonstrate that at
less than two thirds of the cost OF gas
oline. per horsepower, and probably less
than one-hHlf the operating cost OF
steam plants not taking into account
the increased efficiency of electrical
power,
h6lsting plants Is four cents per electri-
cal horsepower per hour For constant
speed motors the price Is much less. the
minimum being about cents per hour.
There are seven air compressors being
operated by electrical power in the dis
trict fourteen hoistinG plants and sew

UTAHNS START WORK
ON NEVADA GROUP

T. + Bannigan returned 10 Mizpah
from Salt Lake "Wednesday OF this week
accompanied by Henry Jones OF Salt
Lake TO start work on the Banpisan
properties in the Mizpah district. This
property has been transferred TO the
Nevada Butte Copper company. which
was recently organized In Salt Lake by
Henry Jones. 3. c. Benson. II. l.. Hard
and @. r. Donnclly.
II Is the intention Of the company to
put on n small force at present to take
out and ship some OF the smelling grade
OF ore from the Butte group. The shaft
on the Butte No. /. now 72 feet deep.
win be started up and sunk deeper at
once In order 10 develop more ore This
claim is said TO show a we'll defined
ledge Of high grade copper ore and there
are several hundred sacks OF ore on
the dumps that was taken out several
years ago. In addition the property con-
trolled by the company is said TO con-
tain deposits OF ore similar in character
TO that now being mined in tho Ely
copper district and some day In the
future II is expected that mining OF the
low grade ores on a large scale will be
the making OF the district.
On other claims In the company group
shipping ore has been discovered and
small lots have been taken out from
various shallow workings. II Is the
Intention OF the management to gather
mp the small lots and include them In
the first shipment 10 be sent TO the
smelter.-E1y FNpositor.

OF LOW
GRADE MINING CAMP

The question Is often asked. why Is
II that certain mining districts of great
possibilities are persisteutly Stunned by
capital In spite of the pronounced sue
cess OF few mines? 1t seems TO be com
paratiyely easy TO interest investors in
new and improved camps whore perhaps
a rich surface strike has been made A
rush is started. lnnumerablc claims arc
stakcd out. companies arc organized and
stock placed on the market and much OF
IL Is sold. The history OF boom camps
has been. as rule. such as 20 serve as
a warning to would-be investors 10 go
slow, Of the total number OF claims
staked out IL Is pretty certain that only
small percentage Of them are OF any
particular value. says the Mining and En-
glneering World
The successful properties in a new camp
are usually those that have high-erad
so az to Yield immediate profits The
opera tors-companies or indiv!duals-that
take their chance in the improved camps
are In the majority OF cases backed by
limited financial resources. With Il splen-
did optimism they invest most OF their
money in claims and equipment and trust
in Providence that the returns from the
ore taken out IN development will be suf-
ficient 10 pay expenses and net a. surplus
besides. Unless their fondest hopes are
realized they sooner or later 20 broke
For SUCCESS they have depended on the
finding OF an abundance Of high grade
ore
Il must be remembered however, that
the true value. and perTnanence OF a min
ing camp does not nccessa rily depend on
tho finding OF An abundance OF high-Erade
orc. Tho finding OF high-grade orc brings
a camp quickly Into public notice but IL
this rich ore gives out the camp subsidies
into oblivion and Is looked upon as a
bubble burst There may be large de-
po-its OF low-grade material. but this does
not attract investors who are looking for
quick returns. The result Is that tho
camp. or the entire mining section gets
bad name.
The occurrence OF an abundance OF low

dra wback TO the more extended develop

the mines must be operated on a large
scale which cannot be done successfully
without very heavy Investment for min
ing and milling equipment necessary to
mine and treat large tonnages OF ore
, chc3piJ and economically. The attempt
OF operators or small resources to work
these ores profltably means practically
certain failure. and II Is the failures OF
these small operators that serve to scare
capital away from many promising low
grade regions. which arc well worth care
fu investigation.

Oklahoma Gold Field Not

During the present winter there have
been persistent reports of the discovery
OF gold and other valuable ores in the
vicinity Of Albion. Pushmataha county.

ceeding $50 a ton and some even az
approaching a value of $500 ton. IL

have been or are being organized on
the basis OF these assertions and that
many persons have been induced 10 In

duced by the alleged rich values has re-
