ANT|MONy AGAIN
COMING TO FRONT
WAR IN EUROPE STIMULATES
SEARCH FOR METAL IN
NEVADA

That the war in Europe, with the
consequent cessation in the importa-
ton of antimony from abroad is al
ready giving impetus to the search
for that mineral in Nevada is evident
from the present activity in the Hot
Creek district in Nye county, about
of Tybo. 1t has been known for
several years that the section con-
tanned some excellent antimony de-
posits, but only since the price of
the metal has begun to rise, as re-
suit of the war. have prospectors CIV
en- any thought to it.
Having in mind one of the best
showings of antimony in the Hot
Creek district. Richard Clapp, Ern-
est Schendel and o. A. Kimball or
Goldfeld went by automobile last
Saturday to the secIion and located
two claims with an excellent show
ing. They returned to Goldfield
Tuesday Mr.. Kimball states that on
the two claims located by the party
a ledge that varies in width from a
few inches to two feet outcrops for
a distance of 5000 feet and that some
of the ore is exceptionally high
grade, running better than sixty
per cent.
Mr.. Kimball further states that,
adjoining the ground taken up by
the party, George Dugan and two
associates of Tonopah recently To-
Gated two claims on which the same
vein also outcrops, showing width
in some places of at least four feet.

NEW JERSEY IS
AGAIN SINKING
GASOLINE HOIST is REPLACED
BY LARGE ELECTRICAL
EQUIPMENT

Evidence of the faith of the stock
holders of the New Jersey Mines
company, close corporation of
New York capitalists, in their prop
erty, known as the Excelsior, in the
eastern section of the Goldfield dis
trict, is found in the fact that the
company has replaced it's eighteen
h. p. gasoline hoist with forty h. p.
electrical equipment and is sending
it's shaft down from the 400 to the
600-foot level. Manager Harry Ern-
est states that good headway Is be-
ing made in the sinking operations
and is confident that his company
will be amply rewarded for it's ex-
penditures.
Since the installation of the new
equipment. depth of thirty-five feet
below the 4O0-foot level has been
gained Prior to the resumption of
sinking operations, approximately
500 feet of development work was
performed on the 4O0-foot level. In
the west drift on the level named,
four feet of quartz giving average as
says of around per ton has been
opened up for considerable dis
tance. Some of the samples of the
quartz and vein matter, however.
have yielded much higher values and
make it evident that the property is
one of great promise. 1t is the in
tention of Manager Ernest to inaug-
urate extensive lateral work when
a depth of 600 feet is gained by the
shaft.

FIRST SHIPMENT MADE BY DEXTER.
White CAPS YIELDS GOOD VALUES

According to returns received
from the Western Ore Purchasing
company by the Dexter-White Caps
Mining company, the shipment of
forty-five tons of ore made about
two weeks ago-the first since oper-
ations were resumed on company ac-
count on it's property in the Manhat-
tan district several months ago, fol-
lowing the cessation of work by
lessees, due to a dispute-averaged
s42 per ton. A second shipment of
like size has since been made which
is expected to yield higher gold
content than the initial lot sent out.
During August 305 tons of ore was
hoised and piled on the dump. Ac-
cording to assays, this ore averages
$1S.26 a ton, or total of $3,5S0.25.
grade ore left by the lessees, the
"fill" of an old stope on the Shaft
ore body was drown during the
month of August, 382 tons of waste
being hoisted. The west drift on the
vein of the 20O-foot level was ex-
tended As feet during August, and a
crosscut from the east drift was ad-
vanced 32 Ieet. In addition AZ
foot raise was put up from the 200
foot level to tap the footwall section
of the Shaft ore shoot. The west ore
shoot on the 200-foot level is re-
spending splendidly to development.
The drift has penetrated the ore
shoot a distance of 60 feet and the
face is exposing eleven feet of solid
ore averaging from $40 to $25 PET

BEL MONT TO Be
GIVEN new LIFE
POWER COMPANY WILL EXTEND
IT'S LINE TO OLD
DISTRICT

After a period of thirty years of
inactivity, the old Belmont district,
located forty-seven miles north Of
Tonopah, in Nye county, is about to
be rejuvenated through the signing
Saturday by the Nelson brothers,
who are operating numerous proper
ties there, of a contract with the
Nevada-California Power company
for the extension of its power line
from Manhattan, Q distance of four
teen miles. A force of surveyors has
been sent out and the actual con-
struction of the line will be started
in few days. 1t is estimated that
the line will be completed by Novem-
ber l.
Belmont first became known to the
mining world in 1864, and at one
time attained a population of TO-
900. During the twenty years fol-
lowing it's discovery, the district pro-
duced over SIS, 100000 in silver. In
1885 the mines were forced to shut
down, due to the increased cost of
treating and mining the ore. Since
then the cost of treatment has
dropped to less than $4 per ton. In
the boom days it cost the producers
as much as $40 per ton to handle
their ore.
The Nelson brothers have ac-
quired practically all of the mines
in the district and Incorporated them
under the name of the Monitor Bel
mont Mining company. A mill is
being built and will probably be
ready for use when the power line
is completed.

TAKES LEASE ON
NEW DISCOVERY
j. u. SWEENEY BEGINS WORK IN
TONOPAH-GOLD MOUNTAIN
DISTRICT

Impressed by his personal inspec-
tion of the strike made several
weeks ago by William Campbell and
George Kernicke on a group of three
claims located by them last January
about nine miles south of Tonopah in
the Tonopah-Gold Mountain district,
j. p. Sweeney, who made fortune
in leasing in Goldfield in the early
days, and who for several years has
been prominently connected with
the Round Mountain district, several
days ago took two and a half years
lease on the property and has already
put small force Of miners to work.
The leasehold is 500 feet in length
by the width of one claim, and in
cludes the discovery made by Messrs.
Campbell and Kernicke, consisting
of foot of $25 ore In ten-foot
ledge that outcrops for about 1000
feet across the property. The min
ers put to work by Mr.. Sweeney are
thoroughly trenching the surface Of
the ground embraced in the lease
hold, preliminary to more extensive
operations.
About a mile south of the new
discovery Kernicke and Claude Smith
are operating the old Hasbrouck
property and obtaining excellent re-
suits. Work is at present being con-
fined to raising on four-fOot vein
of SIS ore from the face of $40
foot crosscut tunnel. Prior to the
shutdown of the MacNamara mill in
Tonopah the property shipped about
thirty tons monthly to it, beginning
about the first of this year.

Florence GOldfield
That the Florence mine continues
to show up exceptionally good
despite it's many years of production
is made clear by the fact that dur
ing the last week two carloads or
approximately one hundred tons of
ore was sent to the Millers sampler
of the Western Ore Purchasing COM
pany. Crosscutting west from the
main north drift on the 530-foot level
within the territory embraced in the
old Wheeler lease is in progress to
intercept the downward extension of
the Wheeler vein, preliminary to
raising to connect with the winze be-
low the 2S0-foot level, in which
three and a half feet of excellent ore
was recently revealed. On the $50
foot level, the Wheeler vein has
never been explored and the cross
cut being extended is, in a measure,
passing through virgin ground.

JUMBO Ex. MINE
ADOPTS NEW PLAN
SHIPPING LESS ORE TO MILL,
But MORE TO THE
SHELTERS

1t having been found that such a
course is more profitable, the man
agement of the JUMBO Extension
Mining company on Tuesday inaug-
urated a new policy under which
the shipments of ore to the mill of
the Goldfield Consolidated Mines
company have been reduced from a
daily average of one hundred to
forty-five tons, and those to the
smelters. through the Millers sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing
company, increased from two or
three carloads a month to an average
of two carloads or appropriately
one hundred tons every three days
Although it is apparent that the
new policy means a reduction in the
tonnage to a daily average of ap-
proximately eighty tons. it does not
mean corresponding decrease in
the net profits from the operation of
the mine, for the reason that the av-
erage value of the ore sent to the
smelters will be such as to maintain
the earnings of the company at
their present figure.
In explaining the new policy of
the company, Manager J. X. Turner
said:
"As we work on the vein upward
and away from the copper zone we
find that the ore is increasing in gold
content and decreasing in the per-
centage of copper. Recently the ore
extracted has been carrying just
enough copper to make it difficult of
treatment by cyanidation and not
enough to make it concentrate to ad
vantage. Consequently, we have
put into effect a new arrangement
whereby we will in the future send
to the mill all ore carrying values

TALMAGE FIND
IS IMPROVING
EXTENSION OF NEW
ORE SHOOT BEING UN-
COVERED

AS it's exploration progresses, the
strike recently made in the south
west drift on the 25v-foot level of
the main shaft on the property of the
Talmage Mines company on Vindica-
tor mountain, in the northeastern
section of the Goldfeld district, is
steadily improving in Importance
and magnitude The management
is highly pleased with recent disclOs-
ures and feels confident that the
property will soon be in position
to begin regular shipments. For
some time past, Manager G. W.
Hayes has been considering the ad-
visibility of erecting a mill on the
property. and it is within the range
of possibility that the strike will
cause him and his associates to car
ry out that plan at an early date.
Mr.. Hayes, who has been absent
from camp for some time on a bust
ness visit to the coast, is expected to
, return home within the next few
days.
1t is stated that the southwest
uTlIt Oh IIe ZUU-IOOI lcNcl,
has a total length of about 120 feet,
has to date explored the rich ore
shoot for distance of thirty-five
feet, with the face at present expos
ing thirty-two inches of ore giving
values ranging from SIT to $392 per
ton in gold and silver, in addition to
about ten per cent copper. On the
hanging wall side Of the vein there
is one foot of ore that yields values;
of from $3.50 to 1892. The next foot
averages around $50 a ton and the
remainder gives no assays of less
than SIT per ton.
Conditions prevailing in the face
of the southwest drift on the vein
on the 350-foot level make it clear
that the working Is exposing the
downward extension of the rich ore
shoot, a stringer, three inches wide
and yielding assays of from $50 to
$50 per ton, having been revealed.
The stringer is being followed, and
it is the intention of the manage
ment to raise on the ore body as
soon as the find is fully explored on
the drift level.

installation of a large crusher at
the collar of the shaft the grade of
ore saved has been almost trebled.
The ore is crushed to about a one
and half inch size and dropped
through two "grizzlies" into the re-
ceiving bin. The oversize trammed
to the waste dump is averaging
about As per cent of the total rock
hoisted to the surface. An average
of about 180 tons of rock is being
hoisted, from which between 90 and
100 tons of ore is saved by means of
the grizzlies and sent to the MILL
The ore being mined is all coming
from the big glory hole close to the
northern boundary of the property.
The raise from the 200-foot level,
above which a second glory hole will
be developed, has almost reached
the surface. 1t is understood that
Mushett and Wittenberg are consid-
ering the advisability of mill on
the property to eleminiate the ex-
pensive cost of hauling to their pres
distance from the ground.
The Commercial Mines e Milling
company has completed the installa-
tion of the Cyclone drill recently re-
ceived in the low saddle between the
Big Four and Big Pine properties.
The first hole to prospect the ground
at depth is now being put down.
The second drill of the same kind
purchased by the company is due to
arrive in Manhattan within few
days. The drills are the largest ever
seen in this section of Nevada,
weighing over seven tons. The
cores will be used in making mill
tests, and upon the results obtained
will depend whether or not the COM
pany will exercise the option it
holds on numerous pluperties in the
district.
