feet, for nearly two miles In length,
and more than one of these lodges
are opened by shafts and tunnels.
The greatest workings on the vein
are at a depth of from 200 to 800
feet, where what is known as the
Barcelona tunnel cut the Oriental
and Barcelona lodges and three
smaller lodges at right angles, and
other ladge ore bodies were proved
by diamond drills. This tunnel u
for 1900 feet, cut the Oriental ledge,
III feet wide, the Barcelona ledge,
over 100 feet wide, and several 9TH
er smaller lodges, but proved that
the best ore bodies were below this
depth, inasmuch as none of the ore
shoots extended high above the roof
of the drift, but the flow of water
prevented much work being done
below the tunnel. In one of the
drifts there is a ten-inch streak as
saying over 500 a ton, and another
ore body, four and a half feet wide,
assaying 80 ounces in silver and 50
to 81 in gold. From this tunnel a
winze was sunk a short distance on
some very rich ore.
1t is now proposed to run a new
tunnel a distance of 100 feet, which
will drain the mine, tap these ore
bodies below the bottom of the winze
and give a depth of over 400 feet OF
ground on the vein, and also permit
of extensive drifting operations.
When the ore bodies have been
opened up at this depth a concentrate
ing mill will be erected, there being
ample water and timber for fuel to
operate this at a very low cost.
Tests which were made of this ore
in Tonopah in 1907 show that the
massive solid sulphides carry from
$500 to $4,000 a ton with a CONNER
cial value in copper and lead. An
average sample of low grade dump
! ore taken for concentrating tests
gave returns as follows: Value of
silver, 1910 per ton, sample crush
| ed to pass a 20-mesh screen and con-
centrated yielded a clear concentrate
worth $112.2O per ton, while the
tailings were practically worthless
The syndicate will be known as the
Spanish Belt Silver Mine, Incorporate
ed, with a capital of $4,000 shares of
81 each, of which $4,000 were offer
ed at par to provide working capital,
and 10000 of these have already
been subscribed in TOnopah and
5000 have been subscribed in San
Francisco, and work at the proper
ty will commence during July under
the supervision of d. H. Walker.
Norris English, who examined the
property for M. J. Brandenstein of
San Francisco, a heavy stakeholder
in the company, gave a most favor
able report upon the mine.-Tonopah

DEVELOPMENT WORK ON
RAVENSWOOD PROPERTY

]. M. Pine, who is developing a
silver-copper-lead claim in the Raw
enswood district, was in town on
business this week. He states that
their main shaft is now down to a
depth of 800 feet and that they will
continue this shaft down at least an
other 100 feet, and then begin drift
ingto open up the property. This
shaft followed down the vein for
about 100 feet, where a fault was
encountered, and it was decided to
go down rather than to do extensive
exploration work at that shallow
depth to pick up the ledge. This
property is an immense tonnage low
grade proposition, the main ledge
being four feet wide with average
values clear across. Mr.. Pine and
associates also have control of the
Big Creek Anthony property n of
the largest anthony prospects in the
United States, and on which they
plan extensive work next season, al
so some property near Battle Noun
tain and a group of claims in Boul-
der county, Colorado.-Austin Re-

OLD BARCELONA PROPERTY near
MANHATTAN IS TO Be OPERATED

The old Barcelona mine is now
to be operated by a syndicate formed
by Victor Barndt of Tonopah, who
Required the property and has Sc
Sured sufficient working capital to
explore 1t to greater depth and place
it on a producing basis.
The property, which is situated
about eight miles northeast of Man
haitian in the same range and about
six miles from Belmont, was origi-
nally located by some Spaniards in
1871. who, three years later, in con-
junction with San Francisco people,
formed some stock corporations
which became favorite mediums Of
speculation during the stock boom
of 1875. These corporations car
ried on a considerable amount of de-
velopment work and shipped about
$4,000 worth of rich ore, which
yielded from 5000 to $500 a ton.
The company continued operations
until the year 1875, when the boom
collapsed and the property was idle
for eight years. subsequently, in
about 1885, operations were resum-
ed by local operators of Belmont,
and rich ore was again shipped to
the value of about 100000, one par
ticular lot of 80 tons yielding $14,-
900 net.
In 1887 leases were granted upon
the property and a streak of rich ore
from 6 to "a inches wide was opened
up in a vein of good milling grade
II feet wide, and shipments were
made to Salt Lake totaling over $780,
900 in less than six months, the
greater portion of the ore realizing
over 5000 a ton. When this ore
had been extracted the leasers quit
work, and a second lease was grant
ed in 1888, and high grade mill ore,
averaging $40 a ton was worked In
the chloridizing mill at Belmont and
a considerable tonnage of ore which
averaged $3.50 a ton was shipped to
Salt Lake.
In 1889 a concentrating mill was
erected to treat the dumps and con-
centrates to the value of $4,000 were
shipped, but the mill was not suit
able to the class of ore in the mine,
and work again ceased and the
property was sold in 1892 for ac-
cumulated debts, andthe title passed
to the owners from whom Victor
Barndt has secured the property.
The records of the various opera
tions upon the property show that 1t
produced about 100000 in high
grade ore from a small part OF the
proven ore bodies, the values being
mostly in gold and silver.
The property is situated on the
east slope of what is known as Span
ish Belt mountain, aid shows three
known parallel lodges varying in
width from three feet to over 100

The Ophir company continued the
extraction of ore from the 235O-foot
level, the past week, and from the
understope in the southwest drift
from the west crosscuJ, at g point
100 feet from the raise, recovered
121 cars of ore averaging $1S.l7
per ton. At the Central tunnel
three tunnel sets of timbers have
been replaced and track rail put
down. The tunnel is now in good
condition for a distance of liz feet.
The Pumping Association has start
ed repairs on the Ophir shaft, Ophlr
incline and the connecting drift with
the Sutro tunnel, all being used as
airways. At the mill, 149 tons OF
Ophir ore were placed in the bins,
and 115 ions of custom ore.
On the 25OO-foot level of the Cor.
Virginia mine the past week, i'm
proving conditions are to be noted
in the northeast drift started on the
ore vein, at a point 1913 feet east
of the shaft station. The drift was
extended for a distance OF 20 feet
total length is 335 feet. The ad-
vance of the drift continues to show
vein matter composed of porphyry,
clay and quartz stringers, the quartz
assaying from $2.15 to $11,2O per
ton. Necessary repairs were made
to the shaft during the week.
The report of the United Com
stock Pumping Association today
shows that at the Ophir shaft, the
boilers, hosting engine n gallows
frame have been repaired, and the
old hosting rope replaced that was
unsafe, by one loaned by the Con.
Virginia Co. This was preparatory
to making necoSrary repairs in the
shaft and to catch up the water that
is running down the shaft n inn
pairing the drainage and ventilation
of the northend mines.
In the Ophir incline, repairs are
being made to the 1900 station,
where a cave occurred, due to water
breaking away in the .Ophir shaft.
On the $500 level, a concrete Dulk-
head was placed in the east crosscut
from the Con. Virginia winze sta
In. Routine work was performed
on the pumps.
At the Yellow Jacket mill the past
week, 796 tonr of dump rock were
placed in the mill bins, and APT tons
of Crown Point mine ore. One rail-
road car of concentrates was shipped
10 the smelter. In the mine, the
Jacket delivered 81 tons of ore to
the Crown Point company at the
mine bins, and on the 11O0-foot
level, north drift No. l started from
east crosscut No. /, was advanced IL
feet; total length ~ feet. From
this work, 81 cars of ore were saved.
Repairs were made to the shaft and

S65,2SO tons in Bohemia; 2,216,4SO
tons in Galicia; and the rest in a
few smaller fields. The increase over
1912 in the production of brown coal
amounted to 1,1OS,S00 tons. Boz
hemia's production was 25,357,92O
tons, or 1,OO1, ESQ tons more than in
the previous year The balance, s.
294,24O, came from scattered dis
tricts in other portions of Austria.
The coke production in Austria in
1918 amounted to 2894,080 tons, an
increase of 3O9,12O tOns over 1912;
that of briquets from bituminous coal
to 219,520 tons, an increase OF A.

Biz Deal IntImated
 for New Mexico Mine.

A Silver City, N. M., dispatch says:- It is understood that a mining deal of unusual proportions has been or is about to be closed, whereby the Socor- TO Mines company of Mogollon be- comes the owner of the Pacific mine, also at Mogollon. The purchase was made from John Faulkerson and Chas. Davis of Fl Paso, who had a bond on the property from the owners, the Oakes company of Alma. The pur- chase prlce has not been made public, but it is understood the amount paid is large one. The Pacific does not adjoin the other holdings of the So- zorro, so that the deal indicates a very general belief in the district by it's most successful company.
 The Pacific is one of the old mines of the camp, and as there are large quantities of ore blocked out it may still be said to be in the infancy of its productiveness.
