TO RESUME DRILLING FOR
POTASH ON BLACK ROCK

Renewed efforts are to be made by
the United States geological survey
to find potash deposits in the Neva-
da desert since the European war
has prevented it's importation from
Germany. The scarcity of potash
in this country has had such an eff
feet upon the manufacture of pOtas-
SUM cyanide, it is reported, that
some of the mines of the west are
facing a shut down. They cannot
secure sufficient quantities of that
ore reducing chemical at prices en-
aiding them to regain gold from the
liquid at a profit.
The drilling for potash is to be
resumed in the Black Rock desert.
H. Gale, member of the survey, is to
superintend the work. He will be
assisted by Prof. J.. c. Jones of the
geological department of the Mac
kay school of mines. He has been
working on the problem of the age
of the ancient ancient Lake Lahon-
tan, which is said to be closely as
ISOLATED with the potash search prob
lem, as from it may be determined
whether large or small deposits of
the valuable salt might be found.
The potash salt the government
hopes to find in the Black Rock des-
ert is chloride of potassium. or kahn
it. 1t is used as a fertilizer, in
manufacturing cyanide of potash,
and is commercially valuable in 9TH
er ways. 1t is given out that if the
government finds potash in the Ne
vada desert ii will be mined extern
sively to relieve the shortage in this
country.

SEVEN TROUGHS MINE
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

Royalties from the Seven Troughs
mine in the Seven Troughs district
of Nevada for the month of Novem-
Der and December will equal, if not
exceed, those of October, according
a report received from General
Manager c. w. Poole at the local
offices of the company yesterday.
Manager Poole reports the mine in
excellent physical condition, with ten
blocks of ground under development
by lessees, a number of which are
breaking ore for shipment. mas
much as the lessees are holding the
ore broken until the end of the year
before shipping, the royalties will
not be paid until some time after
January l., 1915.
The estimates for the month of
November of the royalties that will
be received by the company show at
least $1,000, and in all probability
$4,000, for the month of December.
The prospects of those lessees that
are not operating in ore are very
good, according to the report.
On the Goldsworthy block of
ground milling ore is being broken,
as we'll as shipping r which runs
in the neighborhood of $500 to the
ton. A considerable tonnage has
been developed in this block of
ground, and in all probability the
lease will be continued after the be-
ginning of the year.
The Bonnersee lease has encoun-
tered a good body of ore in the stope
above the 400-foot levi to the north.
This ore runs in the neighborhocd Of
of $3.50 to the ton, and a consider
able tonnage is broken for ship
ment.
On the Gotisols block of ground,
which is on the 2O0-foot level to the
north, and in the stope milling ore
is being broken, and there has been
encountered recently a small body
of high-grade shipping ore. The
prospects for this body developing
into one of considerable size are
good, according to the manage
ment.
On the McWilliams block OF
ground, in a raise driven from the
5OO-foot level to the north and up
a distance of about thirty-five feet,
a small vein of r has been en-
countered which runs between 500
and $50 to the ton. Shipments
will also be sent out from this block
of ground.
General Manager Poole will re-
turn to Salt Lake in a short time
for the purpose of spending the
holidays hure.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SUMMARY OF DEVELOPMENT WORK
IN MINES OF COMSTOCK DISTRICT

bars of bullion were shipped to the

cher ore and at the surface delivered
$50 tons from the shaft to the glory

1,200-foot level, north rdift No. l.,
! started at the 110-foot point in the
east crosscut was extended and tim
bered twenty three feet; total length
fifty-four feet. From the advance SO
cars of low grade ore were saved.
The Belcher company is maintain
ing its usual large quota of milling
ore from the stope above the In 90
level north drift No. 1, and from
the sill to the fifth floors saved $40
cars. The north drift which is be-
ing advanced Jointly with the Crown
Point company, was extended to the
131-foot point, and from the work
SO cars of low grade ore were saved.
Repairs were made on the 1900 lev
ell and in the joint incline, where the
pumps are holding the water 95 feet
below the 1000 level on the incline.
The Crown Point made repairs to
the drifts and manways on the 1.4O0
level, aside from the joint work car

The Overman company on the L.

from a point near the face of the

the vein, where it was discontinued.
The material passed through a

GOLDf|ELD REPORTS
True, SAYS DAVIES
EXTENDED INVESTIGATION
OF MINES

Alter Il WISH W 1OluD6lu, N0N.,
where he made extensive investiga-
tions relative to the accurancy of
the recently reported strikes, e. G.
Davies of the brokerage firm of w.
H. Childs & Co., has returned, and
said yesterday that the majority of
the reports that have reached the
public portray the situation in the
mining camp. He also visited San
Francisco. While there he said he
heard mere predictions, by men
%conversant with the mining industry,
to the effect that it was on the
verge of a boom that could conf
IDENTIFY be expected to start in the
spring.
In discussing the conditions at
Goldfield, MI. Davies said:
"A visit to that place will convince
anyone that the enthusiasm report
ed here is real and well founded.
An inspection of the properties in
question will show that the reports
are not over-statements, and the
hopeful conditions predicted by min
ers there and brokers in practically
all parts of the west are true. Peo-
pie who bought Jumbo Extension at
ten cents a share now refuse to
sell it at 81. There are in Gold
field three brokers' offices and on
last Tuesday it was next to impossi-
BILE to get inside of n of them.
such was the crowd trying to secure
stocks. People are flOcking to the
camp again from all directions and
it now appears that shortly the city
will be as big as ever.
"This is not merely my opinion.
During the days l spent at Goldfeld
three mining engineers, represent
ing eastern capitalists, were engag-
ed in making Investigations and ex-
aminations for those people, and
their expressed opinion was that the
Jumbo Extension and the Atlanta
are showing up fully as well as at
first reported.
Operations of the Jumbo Exten-
sion are taking a gross of ~$125,OOO
from the mine per month, and it
costs only about $4,000 to operate
it. They now have the ore in two
raises from the 1O17-foot level, and
they daily expect it in a third. The
situation is peculiar in that they
have never had ore before in the
shale contact. By getting it there
now the development of other claims
has been made possible and general
activities will undoubtedly start in
the camp. While l vas there devel-
opment work was resumed in the
Grandma, the Great Bend and the
Lone Star mines. New shafts will
DE driven in all of these, with the
expectation of finding ore in the
shale contact.
At San Francisco practically as
great interest is being shown in the
finds as in Salt Lake. The brokers
in that place are enthusiastic, and
all seem to feel sure that a mining
revival is at hand.
George Wingfield, who is extern
sively interested in the Atlanta, is On
the ground, watching the movement
and the development of the work.
He looks to see all the properties re-
sumo and succeed shortly.
G. S. Sprague, under whose charge
the work of the Jumbo Extension
was %furthered and who had charge
of it when the strikes were made, Is
also there. and he, too, looks for big
things from Goldfield. = Salt Lake

an intensely painful injury recently.
