JULY FIGURES SHOW
$1,000 DAILY PROFIT
EN- TROUGHS COALITION
ISSUES STATEMENT

Showing a profit to the company
of approximately $1,000 daily being
made from ore treatment in the five
stamp mill, President L. A. Fried
man of the Seven Troughs Coalition
Mining company has issued a report
to the stockholders for the month of
July, says the Salt Lake Tribune. A
net profit of $4,000 was made dur
ing July. and, according to President
Friedman, the company has a sur
plus in the bank at Lovelock of be-
tween 100000 and $4,000.
The grade of ore treated averages
5000 a ton, and it is a free milling
product, on which a saving of bet
ter than 95 per cent is shown. The
failing is said to carry only from IS
to 81. The o~re-bearIng rock varies,
and some of it is a very high grade,
carrying from $1,000 to $500 a ton.
At times there are several feet Of
this high grade rock in sight, and
again it will pinch down to a few
inches, but there has been enough Of
IL III Sl6HI " hcCp up d oICduy pIO-
duction for several months.
Operations are carried on under
adverse conditions, and at present
the ore is being taken out at a point
about 1900 feet from the surface.
1t requires a great deal of handling
to get the ore to the surface, as the
workings in ore have been twisted
about in following the vein. 1t is
brought out through raises, drifts
and wines, and the air at times is
bad. Some of tho late arrivals from
the camp are elated over the situa-
ton in Seven Troughs and claim if
general conditions were right there
would be a lot Of development work
going on in that camp as a result
of the rich extraction that is being
made at the Coalition properties.
In the five stamps from three to
-four tons daily r treated. and the
net return to the company has been
most gratifying. If the management
succeeds in getting a permanent lode
of a good milling grade the main
shaft will be dropped down from
the 1000 level several hundred feet.
The company has ample money to
do this work and also increase the
mill capacity to whatever require
ments are needed.

LITTLE CHIEF MINE
MAKES SHIPMENT
A. w. CURTIS BRINGS IN NEW
PRODUCER FOR OLD CAMP
OF DOUGLAS

A.. w. Curtis, who has for some
time past been carrying on develop
ment work on the Little Chiefs prop
erty, of which he is owner, in Doug
las, in the Gold Range mining dis
trict. recently had a mill run made
at the Davenport plant in Sodaville,
on several tons of ore taken out in
the course of development and pros
pecting the ground, says the Western
Nevada Miner. We understand that
the returns were highly satisfactory,
considering the small tonnage treat
ed. In the drift run from the 100
foot level about two and a half feet
of ore as been opened up that is
running in gold values from $50 to
800 pec ton. A drift is also being

HUGE BLAST PREPARED
IN COPPER FLAT PIT
WILL BE SET OFF TO RE
MOVE MASS OF
EARTH

What will probably be one of the
largest blasts ever discharged in the
history of open pit mining will be set
off at Copper Flat within the next
two weeks for the purpose of remov-
ing an immense mass of earth and
dynamite, says the White Pine News.
The ledge the Nevada Consolidated
is arranging to move is $50 feet high
and several hundred feet in length.
The holes have been drilled and
everything is in readiness for the ex-
plosives. 1t is claimed that one of
the moving picture companies is
anxious to secure films of the big dis
charge of dynamite.
All the holdings of the Steptoe VAL
ley Shelter Mining company, a sub
sidiary, have been transferred to the
Nevada Consolidated Copper COM
pany.
The transfer involves several mil
lion dollars, including both the real
and personal properties, a large part
of which are located at McGill, about
nine miles from Ely, which is tapped
by the Nevada Northern railroad.
Enumerated among the parcels
that are embraced in the recent ac-
QUESTION are the concentration, car
penter shop, general office, ware
house, machine shop, hospital, boiler
shop and all buildings at McGill that
are used in the reduction of copper
ores. Railroad tracks, rolling stock
and equipment are also affected by
the transaction.
The electric power transmission
line that furnishes power at Copper
Flat and the Veteran also becomes
the property of the Nevada CONSOLE
dated. Title to block 46 of the Park
addition to Ely City. on which the
Steptoe hospital is loacted, is affect
ed.
The ownership of seven or eight
streams of water in the Duck Creek
country changes hands as a result of
the legal document that became pub
lie.
Involved in the deal are the CAL
cite, Dolomite, Toothache, Sorehead
and Quarry placers and the Steptoe
group of claims.

The advance In the price of

duction and likewise accelerates the
prospector for cinnabar. Agricul-
turally and in a mineral way, the
west end is in good condition.
Joe Clawson, the mining man, is
in Winnemucca from Gold Banks.
Joe says the cinnabar mines are
working a force of men and produc-
ing a large quantity of ore, which is
being reduced in a retort furnace at
that point. The BaIdwin-Flynn-
Johnson quicksilver deposit likewise
is showing a fine prospect. Other

The mining situation along the
Comstock lode remains unchanged
this week, but operations are nov
ing forward at all points as usual,
and with conditions favorable for a
general improvement in the district
in the near future. This prediction
is based upon important new devel-
opment work under way in the Mex
lean, Union Con. and Con. Virginia
properties at the Northend, and at
the mines of Gold Hill. The CONSOLE
dated Virginia company on the $500
level has discontinued the drifting
northeast on the vein, and very
shortly will start a raise in the drift
at a point about 335 feet in from
the mouth. The vein on this level
has shown good indications at sew
eral points, and prospecting above
the level will now be undertaken. In
Ophir ground a fine bunch of ore
was extracted from the intermediate
levels.
Particular interest is conferred in
the work now under way in the Mex
lean and Union Con properties,
where on the $3.50 level, from the
Union winze, the latter company is
driving to the west. The territory
has been found to be we'll mineral
lied, and a marked change in the
formation would not cause surprise
at any time. Union has excellent
chances for ore discovery in an i'm
mense territory of ground that has
never been opened. The Mexican
company is now sinking its incline
winze below the $500 for the pur.
pose of exploring at the $3.50 point,
and there is the utmost confidence
that ore will be found in quantity
and quality on this new level. The
entire situation at the Northend is
likely to be changed soon. with new
ore slopes as the basis. The chances
are exceptionally favorable to that
end.

BIGGEST GOLD
MINES ARE WEAKENING
NINE OPERATORS OF WEST PRE-
DICT GREAT FUTURE FOR
SILVER

One of the chief arguments
brought forward by the silver men
of the west in favor of their great
white metal is the fact that gradually
but surely the gold of the world is
decreasing. Their argument is
strengthened by the following from
the Boston Commercial Bulletin in
a statement of the production in re-
cent years at the famous Rand
mines in the Transvaal, which lead
the world, from which the following
is taken:
For the first sever months of
this year the gold production of the
Transvaal amounted to 4,S19,332
ounces, compared with 5,295,S1S
ounces in the corresponding period
of 1913. The decrease in value was
about $1O,0O0,000. 1t is apparent,
however, that much of the handicap
which was created by the South Afri-
can labor troubles of 1913 has pass
ed away in the mining industry.
GAS comparison will be made for
several future months with the re-
turns of last year as Influenced by
the disturbances of labor, there may
be future gains made by the Rand
figures, thus tending to reduce the
net loss so far disclosed in prOduc-
ton in 1914 contrasted with 1913.
can absolute gain in production is
of especial Importance to Great Brit
ain in existing circumstances and of
great importance to the entire world.
There has been quite an increase in
recent months in the number of ma
tives employed at the Rand mines
and there has also been a large in
crease in the number of small rock
drifts operated by power, which dis
lodge larger masses of rock and en-
able more ~ore-bearing material to
be utilized in extraction processes.
1.-THE hope is entertained there
fore, that the great African goldf1eld
may increase it's contribution to the
worlds supply in the future. Moth
ing has so far developed, however.
to justify expectation that the rich
or extent of the Rand deposits may
be increased"
