BELMONT OPENS TWO new ORtBODIES::
TONOPAH MINING BUYS MORE players

good ore on which raising has been
started from that level is either the
A. b. X. vein or one of its branches.
TOnOpah Elk.
The development of the Murray
vein in the Tonopah Extension mine
continues to progress most salts
factorily, although drifting east and
west on the main ore-shoot on the
footwall of the vein on the 950-foot
level has been temporarily sus-
pended.
Another winze was started this
week from the east drift on the foot
wall side at a point about 200 feet
east of the Wine No. 1. The second
winze will be of smaller dimensions
and will follow the ore-shoot on its
dip, and will probably be sunk to a
depth of 200 feet, and from it drifts
will be run on the ore to connect
with the main two-compartment
winze for air, and to prospect the ore
shoot at greater depth.-Tonopah
Miner.
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-02-14
EARL MILL MAY SOON
BE TREATING OWN ORE

Joe Thomas, who has contracted
to haul the Tetrault mill from Tono-
pah for Messrs. Whitman and Mill
say, who will install same at the
Earl lease, will leave soon for the
southern camp to bring it over.
Owing to the condition of the
roads the transportation of the ma
chinery probably will consume sew
eral days longer than under ord
nary conditions.
The mill building has been erected
and everything is ready to receive
the outfit. The leasers expect to
have it treating ore 500 after II ar
rives, as little trouble is n"'.pated
in erecting it.-Manhattan Post.

SEVEN TROUGHS NOW
LOOKS LIKE A MINE
RICH ORE STREAK HAS AS
SCMED MORE PERMANENT
CHARACTER

The new incline Wine at the Seven
Throughs Coalition property has
reached a depth of 100 feet below the
lowest workings, according to in
formation coming to II. J. Evans.
The vein has turned from its FORM
er dip of about fifty degrees to an al
most perpendicular position, a change
that is welcomed, as it is believed
the faults and breaks encountered
above have been passed. The vein is
now continuous aand carries a high
grade gold pre-, the vein being fully
ten feet in width and the high-grade
streak being about ten inches wide In
a quartz against the foot wall. This
ore is running several hundred dol
lars to the ton and is still mined
successfully by machine drills.
In the stope north of this winze the
ore has been followed for some dis
lance along the strike of the vein.
Here the quartz streak averages eight
inches in width an samples very high
some of the recent assays showing
5000 to the ton. The development
for several weeks in this section OF
the mine has shown a constant i'm
provement. In the stope the ore is
widening out both to the north and
south and the quartz is collecting in
to compact bodies.
Good progress is being made in this
development, the machine drills be-
ing able to break two feet to each
shift. The management expects to
have something substantial in the
matter of shipments within a short
time, as well as to demonstrate per-
manent ore deposites.-Salt Lake

REPORT
ON ONO RIVER BASIN

The water supply of the United
single mineral resource. The study
of water is therefore n
of the most important governmental
Investigations. The United States
Geological Survey has beer making
a systematic study of the rivers and
other water supplies in the United
States and during the last is years
has published nearly $50 reports pre-
senting the results of this work. Per-
haps the most useful phase of the
work is the measurement of the How
of streams. Records of stream flow
are absolutely essential to any intel
ligent river development, whether 1t
be in the interest of navigation, OF
or irrigation, of land drainage, or OF
power development. In a report just
issued by the Survey dealing with the
surface water supply of the Ohio
river basin - Water-Supply Paper
3O3-attention is called to the i'm
pCrtance of longtime records OF
stream flow, inasmuch as all river
vary greatly from year to year. Ex-
perience has shown that such rec
ords should cover all stages from alb
solute maximum to absolute mini
mum and should embrace periods
of ), 10, or for some streams even
20 years. AT first glance these may
seem excessive lengths of time for
the simple determination of a rivers
capacity, but when the vast inter-
ests involved in river development are
considered it will be recognized that
great care should be taken to obtain
trustworthy information.
In developing inland navigation
the federal government alone has eX-
pended in the neighborhOod of $780,
600 900, and prospective eXpendi-
lures will approximate or exceed this
sum. 1t is obvious that the deter
mination of stream flow is necessary
to the intelligent direction of these
large disbursements. A thorough
knowledge of stream flow, both in
the contributing areas and along the
great lOwland rivers, is the first ne
cessity. The flood damage in the
United States is estimated to be in
excess of 500, 600, 600 annually, the
Ohio river basin being particularly
subject to hoods, as in the spring of
last year..
Water-Supply Paper 3O3, covering
the Ohio river basin, contains a
large number of records of the flow
of mer contributaries of the
Ohio in 1911. A copy may be a
without cost on application to the
Director of the Geological Survey at
Washington, d. G.
