81 LOOKING GOOD
PROPERTIES ARE MAINTAINING
THEIR OUTPUT IN SPLENDID
MANNER

A.. j. Orem of Boston, Mass, pres
ident of the Nevada-DougIas Copper
company, says that late reports from
the mines may be summarized as
follows:
Our usual shipments r being
kept up. Development work is be-
ing pushed in the Casting Copper sec
ton, and we are opening up consider
able tonnage of low-grade ore, run
ming about 3 per cent in copper, the
high-grade running between 6 and z
per cen in copper. We are running
a raise from the 200 level to connect
with the ore body that we struck
with the diamond drill rs feet south
east of the main stope. We will
complete the raise in about two
weeks, and should then be able to
increase our tonnage quite material
ly. In the main stope at the Casting
Copper we have developed and open
ed up three more lifts about so feet
wide and rs feet long, between the
100 and 200 levels.
In the Ludwig We are developing
ore between the 600 and 700 levels
and have succeeded in opening up a
good grade of ore running from 8 to
9 per cent in copper. We have a
vein of ore about 8 feet in width and
IS feet in length, with about 35 feet
back, and continuing in a southerly
direction in the end of our present
workings. We are also blocking out
a great deal of low-grade sulphides.
On the 6OO-foot level W. are stopping
a grade of ore running about 10 per
cent in copper. Development work
in the 701 north raise has shown a
good grade of second-class ore rum
ming from the 700 level up toward
the 900, for about 60 feet. On the
40-foot level we are mining some
streaks Of high grade ore averaging
about 16 per cent copper.

upon the size Of the vein and de-
velopments on the upper levels. The
three feet of the vein penetrated on
the new 4OO-foot level before the wa

of from $50 to $50 in gold and sill
YER. 4
ION the 3OO-foot level we are
drifting northeast and southwest ON
the vein. The face of the northeast
drift is $50 feet from the shaft and
has exposed an ore shoot 100 feet
long and an average of two and a half
feet wide. Assays of this r body
range from SIS to $50 a ton, and it
will average around $40 a ton. The
southwest drift is $40 feet long and
has exposed ore of an average width
of two and a half feet for a distance
of 400 feet, which will average $40
a ton. With the purchase of the Po-
cahontas and Chomo claims, we have
approximately 5000 feet of the vein.
1--WE are now arranging plans for
the erection of the mill, and I expect
to start work on the site by the mid
die or end of this month. When the
mill is ready for operation. we will
have installed a compressor plant,
machine drills and a pump. The in
~stallation of a pump will make it
possible to resume worK on the new
4O0-foot level. The flow of water on
the new level is now from 100000 to
800, 900 gallons a day.

OVER MILLION TROUT ARE
READY FOR DISTRIBUTION

Senator George T. Mills. member
of the Nevada state fish commission,
came down from Verdi this morning
on his way to Carson City. He re-
ports that 1,25O,0OO fish are at the
hatchery ready for distribution
throughout the state and planting in
it's streams and lakes, says the Ga
zette. The varieties are rainbow,
eastern brook, silver salmon and
b~lack-spotted trout. The officials are
ready to begin distribution within a
few days. This is a fair average for
the year. 1t would have been larger
had it not been for the distractions

BUCKSKIN AND NATIONAL

ID. r. Dwyer arrived from National
last evening. He reports Buckskin
and National as on a strong forward
move and that the Hines-Baldwin
lease is getting considerable high
grade in the drag and tale, which
are being followed by the workers.
The Buckskin National Gold Min
ing company has increased it's work
ing force, and five of the leases are
actively at work, with some in values
from the grass roots.
N. p. r. Hatch was the first to
start work, he having had his sup
plies and tools packed across the
mountain from National. He has
three shifts at work on a c~rosscut
tunnel which will have to be run a
distance Of over 500 feet before it
encounters the vein from which the
company is taking high-grade ore on
the southe end of the property. Rap
i'd progress is being made in the
Hatch tunnel. and it is expected that
the vein will be reached by the first
OF August. Mr.. Dwyer predicts a
lively summer and anticipates new
sensational developments. The Ma
tional Mines company. too. is ~inereas-
Ing it's working force. = humboldt

sparks, thing, ashes and wood over
the room, running a large rug. One
of the timbers, which had been saw
ed in three and a half foot lengths,
narrowly missed Mrs. Clapp in it's
flight across the room. Mr.. Clapp
stated that the timber had been re-
moved from an old working in the
mine by the use of dynamite, half
sticks being placed in auger holes
sunk in the ends, and that it vas ap-
parent that the powder placed II the

B0RAX FOUND IN
SOUTHERN UTAH

A new mineral discovery mas been
made in southwestern Utah, and on
the Arizona strip, which bids fair to
revolutionize the borax industry OF
the United States. For some time
prospectors sent out by "Borax"
Smith of California have been scour-
ing the west to discover the rock,
known as "panomite," from which
most of the borax is extracted in the
form of boric acid. Samples of rock
from the Arizona strip by some
means found their way to the borax
magnate, and at once a representa-
tive was sent to locate it if possible.
He was unsuccessful until it's de-
scription was given to A. J.. Cosby,
a cattle and sheepman who ranges
in the western portion of Washing
ton county on the Arizona strip.
Mr.. Crosby at once led the prospect
or to the location where it was to be
found. Samples of the rock were
sent to Oakland, where a test was
made, and while somewhat leached,
as the samples were taken from the
surface, the rock and the geological
conditions surrounding the deposit
were found to be the same as those
in Death Valley, where the major
portion of the supply of borax is
derived.
Mr.. Crosby, who was a Salt Lake
visitor recently, said that the depos-
it's were very large, some of them
being from forty to sixty feet in
width, the lodges cutting the forma-
ton to great depths, rs shown by the
veins cropping out on either side of
the mountain where it is found. AS
in Death Valley, the rock appears as
a assure cutting a mountain of gyp-
sum, which latter forms the country
rock in that locality. One deposit
can be traced for several thousand
feet, and just how much further can
not be said,. as it disappears under
the gypsum, the ledge being as
strong where it is lost to sight as
along it's entire course. This deposit
is on the Arizona strip, but Mr..
Crosby says that in the southwest
ern portion of Washington county.
on the Utah side, there are other de-
posits that he thinks are equally as
large. The deposits in Utah. he says,
appear in the same formation as in
Arizona, and although none of them
has as yet been tested, he feels GER
tain that they will be as rich in boric
acid as those discovered on the Ari-
iona side of the line.
Some depth has been attained on
the first deposit located, and these
have been Sent to California to be
tested. From tests made by local
chemists the rock is very rich in
borax, and as the deposits are very
large Mr.. Crosby thinks that the flu
ture supply of the mineral will be
drawn from that section of the coun-
try.
The deposits lie near the proposed

lists in Goldfeld stocks. and I come
in contact with this sentiment on
every hand.
when atlanta maze it's strike a
few months ago, the whole curb
went Atlanta crazy; the same with
Sandstone, and hundreds of thou
sands of shares of the stocks were
traded in. While their ardor has
somewhat cooled, l am glad to find
that mine conditions of both the At
lanta and Sandstone warrant great
public expectations, and I am con-
fident that with time and patience
they will add two more to the list of
the mines of this district. l have
faith that ORC and Booth will dem
onstrate the theories of those who
are operating along the Columbia
mountain fault and that in time
there will be a string OF mines
from Columbia mountain to Dia-
mondfeld.
Il am glad to know from compe-
tent authority that the Goldfeld Con-
solidated, the premier gold mine OF
the continent, is by no means the
liauidating proposition that has been
reported from certain quarters and
that the mines of the company are
good for a to come. I came here
particularly to examine the Jumbo
Extension, with the destinies OF
which I have had considerable to
do recently. I cannot adequately
express my satisfaction over the
splendid condition in which ! have
found the mine and the company az
fairs.
within the last six months the
mine has evolved from a losing
proposition to a profit-maker. with a
prolonged life assured. l find that
under the direction of our engineer,
Mr.. J. X. Turner, the Jumbo Exten-
sion has become a great producer,
with assurance of profitable produc-
transformation of mine and COM
pany affairs in these few months has
been remarkable, and Providence has
certainly smiled approval on our eff
forts, for we now have a mine tina
is producing nearly 5000 tons per
month of high grade smelling and
mill ore, have nearly, if not quite, a
years ore blocked out, and are put
ting in sight every day much more
ore than is extracted. Our p~ayrolls
for May were practically $2O,0OO,
and on June l we had about $4,000
cash in the treasury and ore in tran
sit. This is in addition to the $780,
900 we have paid on u purchase of
the Velvet claim, which. by the way,
has proven a mighty flne bargain.
Now, l only refer to the Jumbo
Extension as an evidence of wha
this district is still capable of. l be-
lieve that there will be other Jumbo
Extensions made out of the active
prospects of the camp. The east is
watching Goldfeld intently and is
hoping and praying for the g era,
the dawn of which is now at hand.
When the psychological moment ar
rives, you will see the start of n of
the greatest stock movements the
country has ever witnessed, based on
Goldfield issues"

l.. d. Gordon of Keller, Cal. a d.

states that the drifts are already i'm
proving the showing of the vein and
he is highly confident that a dis
covery of Importance will be made
in the near future.
Booth
The management of the Booth has
decided to sink the winze connecting
the 5OO-foot level with the 560-foot
sub-level to a depth of 700 feet. Ac-
cordingly, a station for the installa-
ton of a hoist is being cut fifteen feet
above the 5O0-foot level south drift.
Drifting south on the vein of that
level continues with no important
changes. The values obtained in the
development of the property continue
low.
