ELY MINE DISTRICT
ADJUSTING ITSELF

The Ely district is gradually ad-
justing itself to the new conditions
brought about by the war. Forces
have gradually been trimmed down
at both the mines and the smelter.
Wherever possible, preference has
been given to the married men so
that the number of families in the
district has not decreased as much
as the great cutting down in forces
would indicate.
At McGill, but n of the big re-
verbatory furnaces is in operation
at present where custOmarily there
are three with one in reserve. At
eight sections are operated for four
or five days and then shut down and
the other four started up. In this
way, deterioration of belts, tables,
vanners, launders, ETC., is prevented
or at least reduced. Even four days
of disuse in this dry climate will
produce sufficient shrinkage in wood
en- launders to cause considerable
leakage when the water is first start
ed through them again. If the con-
contractor were shut down entirely
for three months the expense for
repairs and renewals when it was
started up again would be enormous.
A curious result of the half-time
proposition and the consequent
shifting of operatives is the decrease
of efficiency. A man who has been
trained to operate one set of vanners
or tables for months or perhaps
years, cannot do quite such efficient
work when shifted to another set,
even when conditions are apparently
the same. There is a certain amount
of individuality even about machin-
cry, and it requires time for the OPP
orator to learn the peculiarities of
his new equipment.
Experiments in the new oil f1ora-
ton process of concentration are be-
ing steadily carried on at the Step
toe concentration and are said to be
highly satisfactory. A large con-
signment of new equipment for
these experiments was received last
week. The experimental plant is
fitted up in connection with n sec
ton of the concentration and ore is
handled in large quantities so that
the experiments are practical
demonstrations of the capabilities OF
the process. Besides effecting an
additional saving in values, the oil
fiotation process may provide a
means of cutting out a part OF the
present concentrating system and
thus reducing costs still further.
Such an organization as the Ne
vada Consolidated company possess
es at it's mines and smelter in this
district is the result of a patient
building-up process requiring years
A complete shut down would destroy
this drilled and disciplined army OF
industry, and the men who compose
it would scatter to the ends OF the
earth. and the process of reassem-
bling an organization when opera
tions were resumed would be a tedi-
Gus and expensive one.
For these reasons and for man!
others II seems reasonable to sup
nosa hat the Nevada Consolidated
company will not suspend operations
as long as general business condl-
tions are no worse than they are at
nresent, and judging from reports
from the east. the outlook tends TO-
ward Improvement rather than the
reyerse.-Ely Record.
