WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-\e-
vada's mines yielded in 1913 from
ores sold or treated, $36.374O0 in
value in gold, silver, copper, lead
and zinc, according to preliminary
estimates OF V. c. Heikes, OF the
Cnited States Geological survey. OF
this total, which is about ) per cent
less than 1912, the value of copper
forms the largest part. or 81 per
cent; that OF gold. 33 per cent: that
OF silver, > per cent; and the values
Of lead and zinc each about per
cent
The mine production OF gold de-
creased about 10 per cent, from
Sl3,456, lSo in 1912 to Sl2,O72CDO III
1913. The SiliciOus ores cyanided
were the main source OF gold, which,
in the form OF bullion, was shipped
chiefly from Goldheld, Tonopah,
Fairview. Wonder Virginia City,
Manhattan. Round Mountain, Ma
tional and Seven TroughS An in
crease estimated at Is per cent III
the Nye county production of g0!l
from S3,l25955 in 1912 to 5000
-53 in 1913, is due to the large tom
mage of silver ore treated at T"no-
pah and of gold ores at Manhattan.
The latter. according to the closest
estimates. produced S557 9N in gold
from quartz mines and placer>, aS
against S497 $50 in 1912 Vt tie
GolIieid Consolidated mines At
Goidlieid nearly the same tonnage ii
sold ore was treated at the mill uS
i'll 1912. but the average grade WAS
lower, according to printed month
T. reports. Ore shipments in the
district were made from the {. ..

Great Bend and Diamondfeld Black
Huttc mines. Aside from GOldhefd
Consolidated, the most important
production came from the Jumbo
Extension mine from which 2OOO
tons per month were concentrated
at the Bonnie Claire mill thirty
eight miles south OF Goldteld. TIE
last hali OF the year this mill was
altered also to cyanide ore from the
Florence Goldheld mine. and N
October fifty tons per day were
being treated In Churchill county
important gold and silver produc
tons were made by the NevaIa
Wonder and Nevada Hills COM
panies In the Searchlight district
OF Clark county much gold ore was
cyanided, especially at the Quat-
, .ctte mine. but the plant burned in
August. Production from National

Nevada in 1913 was the leading
state in silver production, which
came mainly from the silver ores at
Tonopah. The mine production in
creased to about l5.3OO0 coo ounces,
or about ! per cent. Eleven of the
Tonopah mines produced ll,923,651
ounces OF silver. which was extract
ed from the ore largely by the cya-
nide process. In 1912 the district
yielded 10,l00,9S7 ounces OF silver.
The Belmont mine followed by the

Consolidated were the largest pro-

The machinery for the mill to be

handle the ores of the Washington
Development property at Jumbo. Is

/ Manager Duboise expects to have

spring. Grading for the cement

as the elements permit.
