timber compartment with a 125-
horsepower hoist and q -inoh cable.
The ore is mined by the eaving
system and the property is producing
1000 tons daily. Three hundred and
fifty men are employed.
The Boston Ely, under the manage
ment of f. w. Ralph, is pushing
ahead steadily and Systematically.
The small gasoline plant was found
inadequate to do the work and has
been replaced by a steam one which
is giving entire satisfaction, both as
to efficiency and cost. The manage
ment feels greatly encouraged by re-
cent showings and it is thought by
mining men to be one of the most
promising properties in the district.
At present 10 men are employed.
The Ely Consolidated Copper COM
pany operating the Zack shaft is do
ing extensive development work. 1t
is fayorably located and it is general
" believed that the ore bodies SO far
encountered will prove their perman-
ency with further development. Work
at present is being done On the 700
foot level and it is reported that
shipments can be expected as soon as
satisfactory rates can be made on
low grade ores. Working 90 men at
present.
The Coppermines company, under
the management of Arthur Smith, is
operating its large group of claims
two miles from junction City. About
300 tons per month of a good grade
of copper ore is being produced. A
force of L men is employed.
Other proportions in this district
which have reported to this Office as
not working during this year are the
Centennial Development company.
Ely Calumet Copper company and the
Hidden Treasure Consolidated Cop
per company.
CHERRY CREEK DISTRICT.
Considerable prospecting is going
on in this district and all feel highly
encouraged by the showings made,
but the only company operating with
men under days pay is the Glasgow
Western Exploration company. This
company has leased the property Of
the Adelaide Star Mines company and
is working a force Of Il men in mine
and mill.
WARD DISTRICT.
The Nevada mine. managed by
Lane Pearl, is located in this district,
is miles from Ely. The character of
the ore is lead-silver and iron. A
survey for a railroad into the district
was made last year, and il was the
general opinion of those acquainted
with the situation that it would be
completed ere this and this promis-
ing section given the relief 1T so just
ly deserves. That this district has
large codes of low grade ore is
claimed by all engineers who have
examined it, and only better rams
portation facilities are needed 70
place it in the front ranks as a pro-
deucer. Mr.. Pearl and his associates
certainly deserve credit for the en-
ergetic and systematic manner in
which they have carried on the work.
Feeling that the showing made fully
justifies a railroad, they are going
ahead developing that they may reap
to the fullest extent the benefits sure
to accrue on the entrance of the
road.
BLACKHORSE DISTRICT.
The Amalgamated Nevada Mines
company. operating 55 miles south
east of Ely. lis working a force of 20
men. The property is being develop
ed through a tunnel which cuts the
ledge at sufficient depth to assure its
~permanency.
TUNGSTEN DISTRICT.
The Tungsten group in this district
closed down during May of last year.
An up-to-date mill has beer built and
good results were being obtained. but
owing to some financial entangle-
ments it was compelled TO suspend
operations. 1t is certainly hoped
that matters will be cleared up and
this promising property allowed to
resume.
BLAINE DISTRICT.
The Cuba mine, operating under
lease to Ralph Kellogg. has a SPLEEN
did showing and considerable ore is
being sacked preparatory to making
