SHELTER FOR COPPERMINES

A trust mortgage to secur a bond
issue of $3,5O0,0O0 to the Bankers
Trust company of New York has been
filed by the Con. Coppermines COM
pany in the office of the county re-
corder of White Pine county. The
bonds are in denominations of 500,
$500 and$1, 900, which will draw in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent, the
interest to be payable semi-annually
in February and August of each year.
The object of the bond is to raise
funds for the construction of an in
dependent reduction works, where
the ore produced from the various
mines may be concentrated and smelt-
ed. When this improvement will
be started has not been fixed definite
ly, but a corps of engineers is now
engaged in proving up the surveys OF
the Warm Spring site, where the
management plans the works shall be
located.

Iron Ore Production Breaks Record

with that for the United States in
general, or about 8 per cent, thus
indicating that a total production for
that district of about 100000 900
long tons, compared with 46,36S,S7S
tons in 1912. The year 1913 Is there
fore a record year for production
and shipments in this district also.
The preliminary figures indicate that
the shipments of Lake Superior ore
by water will exceed 40, 600, 600 long
tons, which, together with the all
rail shipments of more than 100000
tons, brings the figures for total
shipments of Lake ore very close to
the tonnage of ore mined and indi-
Gates that not much change has oc-
Cured in the stocks of ore at the
mines in the Lake district. These
stocks amounted at the close of 1912
to about 100000 long tons of ore.
In the Birmingham district, Ala
bama, the production of iron ore in
1913 as indicated by the prelimi-
nary returns was about 10 per cent
greater than that for 1912. In Ten
nessee there was apparently a slight
decrease and in North Carolina a
slight increase. New Jersey and New
York both showed slight increases,
while Pennsylvania showed a slight
decrease. In the Rocky Mountain
district of Wyoming, Col, and New
Mexico there was a slight decrease.
The types of iron ore produced
commercially consist of red and spec
ular hematite, brown ore, magnetic
and siderite, or spathic ore. Hematite
constitutes about 80 per cen of the
output. Only a very small fraction
of 1 per cent of the output is siderite,
the production of brown ore and
magnesite together constituting near
ly 10 per cent of the total.

WEEKS development Of
Mines OF The COMS7OCK LODE

The report of the United Comstock
Pumping Association today shows
that during the past week the water
in the Northend mines was lowered

the $500 foot level at the Con. Vir-
giniawinze; 1S5 feet, 4 inches; at the
Mexican-Ophir Wine 1884 feet.At the
Con. Virginia Wine, 50 feet of winze
was cleaned out and repaired, and
on the ~2,500-foot level, the north
diff from the Wine was repaired GA

feet.
An additional 40 feet gain was
made on the water level in Gold Hill
the past week, through the joint
Crown Poin-tBelcher incline, and the
water stands at the 90-foot point be-
low the 1,500-foot level in the incline
This is most satisfactory progress and
has been accomplished with only one
pump in the south compartment be-
ing used in the operations. The in
cline is being found in very good con-
dition, which is an encouraging feat
ure of the situationthus far in the
drainage work. The ground down to
the 1890 is being drained through al
of the adjoining properties.
On the ~2,40O-foot level of the
Ophir mine in the two-compartment
raise started in the southwest drift at
a point go feet in from the 1900
winze station, the S uthwest drift on
the intermediate level at a point 65
feet in the. raise, was advanced 20
feet; total length 65 feet. The face
of the drift continues to show low
grade ore and during the week, seven
cars averaging $1O.O7 per on were
saved. This continues to be good
prospect and may show higher values
at any time, the vein being the width
of the drift and having well defined
walls. There was shipped during the
week, one bar of bullion, having an
assay value of 1851. Joint repairs
to airway on the 1,465 level were
continued.
The Consolidated Virginia on the
1,000-foot level, advanced the south
west drift from the northwest cross
cut a distance of 2S feet; total
length 995 feet. The formation and
material passed through this week

to the southwest airway On the 1,465
level from the Ophir shaft.
The Monte Cristo hoisted 725 cars
of ore from Slopes and development
work the past week and shipped 272
tons to, the Mexican mill yer the
tramway. The mill crushed COZ tons
of Monte Cristo ore of an average as
say value of S7.47 per ton, 335 tons
being taking from the storage piles
at the mill. Two bars of bullion were
shipped to Selby's.
On the Savage groupings the west
drift was advanced a distance of 25
feet; total length SO feet. The face
shows hard quartz giving low assays.
In the Crown Point mine on the
1,400 foot level necessary repairs
made to stope No. 1, and work of
bulkheading and filling No. 2 stope
has been completed.
The Belcher company has contin-
ued the charging of the 1900 joint
incline station owe the south COM
partment, aand repairs made in south
drift No. / on the 1,4O0-foot level. Re-
pairs are also under way under the
1,400 station of the Belcher incline,
and to the 1900 station of the joint
incline.
From the surface tunnel raise No.
| 3 of the Yellow Jacket, 6S mine cars
of ore were extracted during the
week, of an average assay value of
$7.66 per ton. Repairs were made to
the Jacket incline and also south
compartment was cleaned out for a
distance of 40 feet, making a total
depth of so feet below the 1,400-foot
level in good condition.
On the 1,200-foOt level of the
Overman, the southwest drift to con-
meet with the northeast drift was
advanced 6 feet to the 34-foot point.
The face is in quartz.
Lack of electrict power, the wires
being broken down by heavy snow,
made work at the Imperial shift i'm
possible during the week, the men
being engaged in general repairs and
shoveling out the 10Y on the sur
face.
The Caledonia company on the
1,2O0-foot level continued work in
the northeast drift, clearing up de-
bris, timbering and laying track.
Total distance in the drift in good
air is 40 feet.-Chronicle.

BUSY GETTING
READY TO DO MINING
PRELIMINARY SYMPTOMS OF A
BUSY SUMMER AT THE
NEW CAMP

Jack II. Tate and Charles Grant
came i'm from Goldyke yesterday and
will outfit to return there about the
first of the month. They report a
growing activity in the revived Nye
county camp and look for great en-
enlargement when the winter passes
and prospectors r%e-enter the field.
Among those who are interested
there are DR.. Oneal, G. X. Jarvis, O..
X. Davis and J.. G. Richardson. The
Butler company has six men en-
gagged in exploiting that estate, with
the idea of proving up a shipping
proposition.
O.. X. Davis is interested in the
January group, 1000 feet north of the
Butler, where these is a SHAFT down
200 feet on a north and south ledge
in rhyolite, with a small shoot Of

with interest at lone, which he sold
TO an English syndicate.
The old Goldyke Reef is in charge
of Workman and Davis, old prospect
ors, who have gold spotted values.
Jim SHELTON of TOnopah has we'll
located ground 1000 feet west of the
Butler shaft. where there is a good
spring Of water.
According to Mr.. Tate, the ore is
made adong intrusive rhyolite dikes,
where it intrudes through andesite
running easterly and westerly. The
camp of Goldyke is 90 miles from
Luning, ON the line of the auto truck
that operates between Luning and
the Wagner Azurite. 1t is the same
mineral belt as Rawhide, Athens and

pulled revolver and said to his
companions, here's where we

several shots. The passengers in
the car with Mcdonald were
slightly under the influence of Ii
quor and it is presumed that in the
wobbly condition the fellow with
the gun held it too low and shot
the Chauffeur in the back of the
head. The car then run in among
the rocks on the side of the road
when the men left Mcdonald and
the car and made their way to Sec
ton 80 on foot. A passing car
found Mcdonald hanging over the
wheel of his car and brought him
to the Shipman Hospital where he
died at about IL o'clock.
1t was at first thought the young
man had been fatally injured when
the car ran among the rocks but
after being taken to the hospital
the hole in his head was discovered.
A revolver was also picked up out
of the car.
The officers at once took up the
case and went to Section 80 that
night and located the four men in
the car with Mcdonald when they
left Ely. They were brought to
the city and lodged in Jail.
Monday evening County At
torney Green of Duluth arrived and
took the matter in hand. An in
quest was called for Monday even
ing but upon arrival the county
attorney decided to hold Petroff
who did the shooting for action by
the grand jury at the session next
month. In default of heavy bail,
Petroff was taken to Duluth for
safe keeping.
Mcdonald was young man of
noble character and had host of
friends who are grieved over his
unfortunate taking off. He resid-
ed with his mother at Section 80
where he had built a nice home
and was doing fine. He owned
the car in which he met death and
at odd times carried a few pas
sengers. He was about % years
of age and is survived by his
mother. The remains were taken
to Mt. Gilhead, Ohio, for burial.

Feeling Good

A neighbor dropped into our
Office this week with a grin on both
sides of his face and impaired the
very evident and superhuous in
formation that he was feeling
good"
Said he had been reading the ads
in our paper more carefully than
usual, and found that he could
actually save money by doing his
trading at home instead of continu-
ing his contributions to the mail
order millionaires.
Of course he was feeling good.

Hopeful Tone

Judge Gary, before sailing for
Europe last week issued a state
ment of his opinion on conditions,
expressing his belief in improve
ment in the fall.
We are" he said. already
witnessing an increase in tonnage
and it will be further increased, 1
trust.
Judge Gary says business condi-
tons generally in the country are
bad and during recent months
have been worse than any time in
the last decade. He says the tariff
has adversely affected business.
He predicts that it is only ques-
ton of time until the public will
demand a change in tariff policy.
He adds he is not certain whether
manufactures will be compelled
to reduce wages and asserts no re-
auctions will be made unless they
become absolutely imperative.

OUR CELEBRATION
Nice Little Affair Enjoyed by ALL.
Games for Children

The celebration arranged at the
last minute for the children and
grown-ups that enjoyed themselves
in seeing others happy, was pulled
off without an accident and every
one taking part had nice little
time.
The City Band opened up the
festivities at E o'clock with an ex-
cellent brand of music and the I'M
furling of the flag on the City Hall
flagstaff to the strains of the Star
Spangled Banner. The band boys
had ordered new uniforms for the
Fourth but through some oversight
the new suits failed to arrive. The
lack of suits did not have any
affect on the quality of music pro-
duced however and it can be safely
said that the band is better and
furnished better music than we
have had for some time. Director
Pierce and his players were the re-
ceipients of many fine compliments
for their work on the Fourth.
Long before the hour for the
parade, the calithumpians began to
gather near the city hall. The
parade was formed with the police
in the lead, the city council in
carriages and the Ely Fire Depart
ment in uniform. Following these
were the calithumpians and there
were some calithumpians. Every
conceivable makeup was at hand
and several were extra fine and
made up with exceptional care.
By actual count there were 800
characters in the rag muffin line
and each and every one received a
prize. Several suffragette groups
attracted much attention. The
parade traversed the principal
streets led by the band and wound
up at the city hall where D. Raub
James read the Declaration of indie
pendence and Hon. Arthur Toms
made the address. Both acquitted
themselves with much credit. Mr..
Toms dwelt on the significance of
the day in the history of the
country and his talk was very
favorably commented on.
From then on the races took
place on the several streets and
music, refreshments and enjoyment
was the order for the balance of

S0RROWFUL AFFAIR
Mining Engineer Mcdonald Killed
ON July 4th

The death of L. S. Mcdonald on
the evening of July 4th from the
effects of a gunshot wound was a
most depressing event and one
which cast shadow over an other
wise perfect celebration day.
Mcdonald was driving his car to
Section 80 where he was employed
by the Mining company. He left
the city at about six o'clock and
four Bulgarian employees of the
Section 80 company were in the
car with him. When at the 26

time and not an accident happened
to any of the large number of little
ones that took part in the events.
In the evening the City Band
conducted ball at the Turf Hall
and large crowd was present.
The weather all day was ideal for
celebrating. Many went to Win
ton in the afternoon to see the ball
game between Winton and Two
Harbors. The Winton celebration
was also a success and the lengthy
program was pulled off without a
hitch.
