SPRINGS
IS AGAIN TO FRONT
RENEWED ACTIVITY IN CAMP
AT THE DOORS OF
WINNEMUCCA

The outlook is excellent for a great
revival in mining activity this year
at Barrett Springs, only nine miles
northwest of Winnemucca. Four
years G this camp was very active
and steady shipments of ore were
made. Being So neal to Winnemucca,
this town was greatly benefited in a
business way by the operations that
We're carried on at Barrett Springs.
But the principal properties in the
district passed into the hand of out
side people who would not work them
themselves or give anyone else a
chance to do so and the properties
have lain idle for several years.
Last ear the eastern owners failed
to do their assessment work and the
properties were relocated by local
people, with the result that opera
tons have been resumed and Barrett
Springs will be again placed On the
map as a producing camp.
The new owners of the Nineteen
Ten property are throwing the ground
open to leasers, who can go to work
on shipping ore. This property has
produced something like seventy-five
carloads of Ore Case and Smith are
now working a lease on this property
and have opened III a body of ore
that assays around SIS per ton.
The Smith, Edmunds and Merri-
field property, adjoining the Nineteen
Ten on the north, is being developed
and the ore dump is larger than the
waste pile. This ore runs from $34
to SIS per ton. Three shifts are now
at work on this property and a car
load shipment will be made before the
first of April.
The Johnson-Modeen property, now
owned by Phil Blume. produced eight
carloads of good ore. Much OF this
ere was taken out by the use of a
team end scraper.
+. a. Kruger and Lee Case nave
opened up some fine ore, ~assaying
around 500 to the west of the
Smith, Edmunds and Merrifield prop
erty.
c. w. Case has opened a fine vein
of ore to the west of the Bimetallic
ground. A leasing company has
been formed to work the property
and operations have been started.
From a reliable source we are in
formed that the Laurel company will
resume development of its property
and do considerable work this spring.

SAYS HE HAS NINE

Richard A. ("Dick') Wells, son of
a mining engineer, born in a mining
camp and a prospector by instinct
and education, is in the city from
Nevada.
He has located in Lincoln county,
that state, twenty-five miles nor
Invest of Hike, what he believes to
be a big low grade gold mine. He
and his associates have fourteen
claims, on which several veins out
crop. One of these steeply-pitching
veins has been prOspected by sink
ing a shaft to a depth of siXty-five
feet and then drifting 157 feet on
the vein. This vein is Jour feet wide
and carries values in a 17-inch streak
next to the hanging wall running as
high as SIS to the ton. His estimate
of the entire vein is that it will run
about $40.
He located the property about a
year ago. Practically no work has
been done on the other veins except
some location work, but the indica-
tions r that they, too, will show
good values.-Salt Lake Tribune.

BALD MOUNTAIN MINING
DEAL Of IMPORTANCE

Max Ziege left this morning for
New York City where he has been
summoned for the purpose of nego-
tiating for the SAFE Vi a group of
thirty mining claims situated in the
Bald mountain district in the north
west corner of White Pine county.
Ziege admitted he was going to see
persons at AZ Broadway who are in
terested in the copper mining bust
ness but declined to tell the names
of the persons or the companies they
represent. That number is the the
address of Thomas F. Cole in New
York as well as of the Sondheim COM
pany owning the copper teaching pro-
cess and other large mining interests.
Ziege represents J.. Mayer and
August Munter of Joy, and intimated
the consideration involved in the
deal would be about %$250,0O0 which
he expects to receive for the Blue
Bell group of claims on which a
large deposit of copper ore is partly
proven up by a series of tunnels, n
Of the longest ones being known as
an orebody at least 100 feet deep.
Another working is the Snake tunnel
which is in IT'S feet in the same de-
post. Besides these trede are eight
other tunnels on the property in all
of which the ore is exposed. The ore
il, cir,iln 4@ tbat f1--1 - A.. NJ
copper district and samples from the
eddie tunnel have carried an average
of 70 per n copper, with gold
and silver to the amount of 60 to
SO cents. Samples from the Snake
tunnel go l per cent copper, 81 in
gold and 60 cents in silver.
Several experts representing cop
per mining interests have visited the
properties at different times and are
said to have been favCrably impressed
with the opportunity for developing
a large copper producer. For a num-
Der of years and in fact ever since
the Ely copper boom, Bald mountain
has been spoken of as the place where
the history of this camp was likely
to be duplicated. The district was
given wide publicity about seven
years ago through the attempts of
Mrs. Ella Rawles Reader to finance
a big copper mining and smelling
company and for some months a
large force of men was employed on
the properties she controlled. She
purchased a complete smelling plant
which was shipped to a point on the
Southern Pacific from where it was
to have been hauled to Bald Mount
ain. Mrs. Reeder failed. however, to
successfully finance her project and
later the plant was sold for freight
charges.
a number of Ely mining men have
visited the Bald Mountain section
and all have returned full of predic-
tons that when the necessary capital
is secured to take hold of the mines
On a large scale. White Pine county
will see another great producing dis
trict developed within its borders
from which great wealth will be
taken -Expositor.

SALE IS MADE IN
WEDEMND DISTRICT
MRS. STINER AND ASSOCIATES
PURCHASE COPPER KING
MINING GROUP

The Copper Lode Mining company,
a Nevada corporation, took over the
Copper King group in Wedekind dis
trict, four miles north of Reno, last
Saturday. This property IS situated
on the line of the ". e.. u. railroad,
the main Workings being 1000 feet
from the track, Mrs. Katherine r.
Stiner of Oakland is the moving
spirit in the purchasing company.
She is heavily interested in Nevada
mining properties and has expended
considerable money in the develop
ment of prospects in the Wedekiud
district, particularly the Reno Ruhi.
The Copper King group was located
10 years Ago., but the workings failed
to reach ore. Nearly a year ago God
frey & Williams found the shoot and
shipped two carloads, the values
ranging between $50 and $40 to the
ton. No stopping has yet been done,
all the ore shipped and that still on
the dump having been taken out in
the course of development work.
The vein matter is 10 feet in width
with the values slipping back and
forth between the foot and hanging
walls. The hanging wall is diorite
and the footwall is a form of por-
phyry not yet absolutely classified.
The vein extends east and west with
a dip to the north.
Work thus far has been confined
to drifting on the 100 and 150-foot
levels, but the new company, under
the management of w. j. Thomson,
will go deeper and enlarge the ca
pacity of the hosting plant. The
values are in silver and black copper
sulphides with a little gold.-Ga-
Zette.

RAILROAD VALLEY CO.
TO RESUME WORK SOON

The Railroad Valley syndicate will
begin work in Railroad valley for
the season of 1914 where the Rail-
road Valley company left off last fall
when the well froze up and compell-
ed a stoppage of all operations after
the seventh hole had reached a depth
OF 745 feet. The syndicate which
stakes it's future On this development
al No. 7 will not bother with the old
hole but will proceed to sink another
Immediately adjoining. This will be
sent down to a depth OF 1000 feet
and, if gaylussite is not found in en-
couraging quantities at that depth,
operations by the syndicate will be
abandoned.
Victor Bardnt, president of the
Railroad Valley company, arrived
yesterday from San Francisco and
outlined this plan of operations for
the opening of the season. He will
of this hole and he thinks he is go
ing t 0 have an enjoyable bath.
Every indication presages success
and, unless it appears next month,
the drilling operations of the COM
pany will cease
ID. H. Walker, superintendent of
the company, will return from Death
Valley. where he spent the winter di-
lecting operations for a group of
capitalists allied with the Pacific
Coast Borax company. Mr.. Brandt.
former chemist of the Railroad Val
ley company, who spent the winter
with the Selby fumes commission,
will his laboratory in Tono-
pah, as re has been granted leave of
absence for as long as his services
may be desired by the Tonopah peo-
pie.
Victor Brandt will leave with five
mel Wednesday morning and proceed
to overhaul the complete equipment
at the saline fields.-Bonanza.

CYANIDE PLANT
WILL BE- BUILT
LOS ANGELES COMPANY TO
START WORK NEAR
DAYTON

The Metals Recovery company, a
Los Angeles corporation, is preparing
TO spend a sum running into the hun
dreds of thousands, preparatory to
starting mining operations in vi
cinity of Dayton, and their scheme
has so far advanced that the cree
ton of the plant has already begun.
The company has purchased a
number of the old waste dumps on
the river, ag%gregating al almost I'M
known amount of material, and af-
ter sizing will subject it to cyanide
treatment.
Their plans of construction call
first for the installation of a series
of grizzlies in order to save the rock
below a stated degree. By belts the
rock will then pass into a number of
arastas and after being crushed to a
fineness enabling it to go through a
G0-mesh screen will enter the cya-
hide tanks of which there will be
twenty-eight. Following that th6l
usual process enters into play.
A great deal of the waste dumps
that have been piled up in the vi
entity of the contemplated works
comes from the old mines worked
between there and Virginia City
years ago when ore, unless it ran
thirty or forty dollars a ton, was
thrown into the waste. These dumps
contain an almost fabulous quantity
of ore of that kind.

OF
Ida AMBUSHEO
SHOT AND FATALLY WOUNDED
BY UNKNOWN ASSASSIN
IN DARK

Thomas Jones, a resident of Ida
for the last ten ear and its justice
of the peace and postmaster for the
last eight years, was shot from am
bush and fatally wounded by an un-
known assassin within a few feet of
the kitchen door of his home in that
camp at 1880 last night. He died
at 1890 this morning. Although he
retained consciousness and was able
to talk until the end, Jones could
not give a description of his assassin,
saying he could not make out his fea-
lures in the darkness, under the
cover of which the crime was COM
mitted.
According to Jones' version of the
shooting to DR.. E. A. Wheeler, Sher-
if ingalls, and Deputy Sheriff Shirley
who went to Ida Immediately upon
the receipt of the news of the crime
by telephone from HornSilver, he
went out OF his house to get some
wood. AS he approached the wood
pile, possibly fifty feet from the
house, his assassin raised up on the
opposite side of it and fired a load
of buck shot from a shotgun. The
shot shattered his right shoulder and
several of the leaden missiles passed
entirely through his body, in addi-
ton to driving a brass buckle from
his right suspender strap into his
lung. AS jones turned and ran tow
second time, this charge being APP
parently only bird shot. The charge
knocked his hat off and several of
the shots caused slight scalp wounds.
Jones wife heard the reports of
the two shots and rushed out of the
kitchen door to the aid of her huS-
band. She assisted him into the
house and despatched a man on
horseback to Hornsilver, about seven
teen miles distant, to summon Dr..
Wheeler by telephone. With Sheriff
ingalls, and Deputy Sheriff Shirley.
DR.. Wheeler left Goldfield in his au-
tomobile at 10 o'clock and arrived at
Ida at 11:40. Jones told DR.. Wheel
er and the officers that he was not
aware that he had an enemy in the
world.
Accompanied by Undertaken
Thomas Dunn, Coroner A.. f. Barnes
left Goldfield this morning for Ida
and will probably hold an inquest
there over the remains this after
noon. The body will be brought to
Goldield this evening and prepared
for burial. A brother of the dead
man, W. G.. Jones of Randolph, Wis,
was notified and he is now on his
way to Goldfeld. Mrs. Jones, widow
of the dead man, will accompany the
remains from Ida to Goldfeld this
afternoon. Jones was a man of a
quiet and unassuming disposition.
He was considered one of the most
popula- residents of Ida and his
assassination is shrouded in the
deepest mystery. He came to Ne
Vada from Nome, Alaska.
