the lure of getting rich quick seems
to be especially strong in the case OF
mining stock.
IL your subscription to any such
investment" is solicited. you will
have difficulty in refraining from
putting your money into the propo-
sition If you bear in mind these
facts
The stock of a mine known to be
good does not need to be peddled
around.
1t is hard to turn into money the
stock of any other kind of mine.
Every ton of ore removed from q
mine reduces it's value just so much.
Ii the mine is exhausted before your
principal has been returned to you
in dividends, you are a loser.
A safe rule to follow in choosing
an investment is to go to your banker
and inquire what proportion Of its
face value he would loan upon it as
security. Being stern critics of col
lateral, the officers or loan commit
tee of your bank can give you a pref
ty good idea of the degree of safety.
convertibility and availability the
proposed investment possesses.
A savings bank account itself Of
fers an ideal investment. 1t has the
cardinal features of security of prin-
cipal, certainty of interest return and
availability in an emergency.
1t has an additional feature which
is often denied the investor in secur-
tiles, namely the possibility of con-
tributing small, odd amounts, and I'M
mediately reinvesting interest re-
turns by adding them automatically
to the principal.

Mine DIRECTOR REPORTS
upon AVAILABLE Low GRADE ORE

mel. In 1901, an immense body of
quartz was opened, and a winze was
sunk IL feet to connect with old
burning Moscow station. A perusal
of the annual reports for the years
1900 and 1901 and a study of the
weekly letters covering thai period
of time, discloses the fact that with
a limited amount of development
work on the Ophir groupings, a large
quantity of high grade ore was I'M
covered and extracted, and vast bod
les of a grade not then available be-
of prevailing conditions, were
exposed and left in the mine. In 1901,
a body of black manganese quartz so
feet wide that assayed 50 to SC per
ton was reported. The presence of
manganese in these days is not detri-
mental to milling. and the cyanide
process has made available vast
quantities of ore that in the past
were ~valueless because of its pres
ence. In no Ease did Ross attempt
to remove old filings except when
cleaning out drifts where had
occurred. Filings so removed as
sayed from SIS to $3.50 per ton.
Leasers, who worked in the tunnel
years after the company suspended
operations, report large quantities of
filings of the values reported by
Ross. A study of the operations on
the Cole and Ophir groupings dis
alnCoc thn foot fhot nvtnncivn hndinc
of low grade ore yer developed that
under present conditions can be min
ed and milled at a profit e work
ing expenses. The report shows many
other lodges and ore areas that APP
pear to be available now for the first
time in this day of low costs and eff
Efficiency.
Mr.. Turney calls attention to the
fact that considerable work will be
necessary to reopen the Central tun-
mel, but believes there is abundant
evidence that a rich reward awaits
the Ophir when it is accomplished,
with the modern, ~up-to-date cyanide
plant now owned by the company at
hand. Much of the ore is on the
surface and can be quarried and
mined at a very low cost. Mr.. Tur-
ney, as we'll as many others, is salts
fed that there are sufficient low
grade ores available to keep the com
pany's valuable milling plant in con
slant operation for years and render
ing a gratifying
The prospects for valuable new ore
deposits in the deep levels, are also
very f~attering at this time, and with
in a comparatively short period, OF
as soon as they can be opened up,
bid fair, together with the low grade
surface ores, to place the company in
a very strong financial position.

MAKES VISIT TO NEW
HUMBOLDT COUNTY CAMP

Walter Turitt went out to Hay
stack Sunday and reports that the
camp is flourishing. Ore is being
mined with a pick, without a shot be-
ing fired, and is being hauled to Jun
go, on the Western Pacific. About
four tons was hauled from camp
Sunday, which nearly finished loading
a car, and it is expected that the first
shipment will be made some time this
week to the smelter at Murray, Utah.
Mr.. Truitt broke off a piece of rock
from the groupings ON his claim,
which he had run by Assayer Oastler,
receiving returns of $35 per ton,
principally gold.-Winnemucca Sill

WITHSTANDS GREAT HEAT.

1t has been found by experiment that
when the impure forms of bauxite
containing considerable iron oxide
are exposed to intense heat the baux-
ite is converted into a solid mass of
emery which is so hard that it can
barely be cut by steel tools and re-
sists chemical. thermal and mechan1-
cal action to a marked degree. Re-
cent applications of bauxite in brick
according to the United States Geo
logical Survey are in the lining of
rotary cement kilns, lead-refining
furnaces and basic open-hearth steel
furnaces.

w. w. Turney, a director of the
Ophir Silver Mining company, who
has been spending several days III
this city, is greatly interested in the
proposed new work in the upper lev
els of the company through the Cen
trail tunnel, and is of the belief, that
it will prove to be a profitable under
taking In fact, Mr. Turney has made
a close study of the old maps and
records, and recently presented an
extensive report to the company on
the outlook for successfully handling
the great tonnage of low grade ores
left behind from the times when
milling facilities did not permit of
their being mined at a profit Mr..
Turney has made a thorough investi-
cation and from the annual and
weekly reports of former superinten-
dents dating from 1899 to 1902, has
compiled a vast amount of interest
ing information. 1t all strengthens
the conviction that the Ophir COM
pany has an opportunity that is ex-
ceptionally promising, now that it has
complete milling facilities of a high
order, permitting of working very
low grade ore with a good margin OF
profit. What holds true of Ophir,
must also apply to other of the North
end properties.
Mr.. Turney's report fully covers
operations on the Cole and Ophir
groupings, and we quote as follows:
For the year 1901, we find a winze
was sunk a distance of 81 feet in ore
on the Cole groupings assaying from
81 to SIS per ton. A raise was put
up from a tunnel and connections
made with bottom of winZe. At point
of connection, a drift was run south
a distance of nine feet in ore assay
ing from 81 to $40 per ton. From
the end of the tunnel near the bot
tom of the winze, a south drift was
run % feet in ore assaying from Sc
to $14 per ton. Ross reported this
body of ore to be of unknown width.
From the same tunnel, a north drift
was run 76 feet, in ore ~assaying $3.1S
20 $21 per ton; the last 25 feet in
low grade. Later, 81 tOns were
taken from the groupings of average
value of $25,46 and milled at the
Douglass mill in Dayton, saving
about rs per cent of the assay value
In his report on the Cole groupings
Ross says: Some cheaper process
will be required to profitably work
the lass Of low grade of in these
groupings, estimated to be about
400 0Gp tons In the early Com
stock days. lCng tunnels were run
from which were drawn the principal
water supply for domestic purposes.
In running these tunnels, numerous
lodges were cut, but as water was
more precious than ore Except of a
very high grade) at that time; no eff
fort was made to explore or prospect
the lodges so cut. Owing to adverse
conditions, high cost of transpOrta-
ton, excessive milling charges, crude
treatment and low extraction, no ore
developed by Ross on the Cole crop
pings was taken out.
Ross operations on the Ophir crop
pings were quite extensive and in
1899 exposed two bodies of ore,
which he stated would yield revenue
when the ore could be worked ad-
vantageously. One was in the crop
pings and the second a short distance
above the winze station south of the
main west drift in the Central tun-
