HAWTHORNE AS
MINING CENTER
ACTIVITY IN VARIOUS DISTRICTS
Is DESCRIBED AS ON Up
WARD TREND

Mining around Hawthorne is on
the upward trend and activity is in
oreasing with the near approach OF
spring. says the Nina Miner. A sec
ton hat is just now very much in
the public eye is that around the
Pamlico, the bonanza of the early
days. The banner for the reason of
outside properties is the ground
owned by Graham and Dondero and
Rosa and Ballenger, all old-timers
and for many years leasers on the
Pamlico. They have been con-
tinuously developing for the past
year and have proven up a real mine.
At 9S feet they cut the ore which has
continued all the way down to the
bottom of the incline, averaging
from foul to sixteen inches wide and
carrying values from $50 to $500
per ton. From the bottom of the
~i"cline they have drifted GO feet to
the west and 100 feet to the east,
all in continuous ore, all of which
will average on the plates in milling
better than $50 per ton. All the ore
carries from s per CEN to 20 per
cent lead, with a small silver value.
They are contemplating putting in a
set of tables behind the plates to
concentrate this lead and silver val
ues. They have equipped the prop
erty with a within and two cars and
are in shape to handle a good ton
mage. From sampling and assays
this ore will plate $50 a ton and by
May LIST they will have fully 800 tons
ready for the mill.

REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE PLAN
FOR Change IN REPRESENTATION

citing the views that actuated the
national body the special committee
of three says:
1.-The committee believed that
should conventions of delegated rep
resentatives of the party. convened
in the number of states entitled to
cast a majority of the votes in a ma
tional convention, ratify the action
taken by the national committee in
this respect, it's action could be as
sumed to fairly express the sentiment
of the great majority of the party,
for obviously such state conventions
when taken together would consist of
more representatives of the party
than would be assembled in a ma
tional convention.
The plan adopted and recon-
mended for ratification provides that
the republican voters in each state
shall hereafter be represented in a
national convention of the party by
four delegates-at-large; two dele
gates for each Representatives,
large; two delegates for each rep
resentative-at-large in congress; one
delegate from each congressional
district, and an additional delegate
from each congressional district in
which the vote of 1908 for any re-
publican electOr or for the republic
an nominee for congress in 1914
shall not have been less than 1900.
Alaska and the District of CO.
lumbia under the plan presented will
each be entitled to two voting dele
gates, while Hawaii, Porto Rico and
the Philippine Islands will each be
entitled to two delegates without the
right to vote"
The result of this change in the
basis of representation, if ratified by
the requisite number of state con-
ventions, will be a decrease of SO
votes as follows: Alabama will lose
s, Arkansas g., Florida 4, Georgia IL,
Louisiana 8, Mississippi 8, New York
2, North Carolina 3, South Carolina
7, Tennessee 3, Texas 16, Virginia
s, Hawaii 4, Porto Rico 2 and Phil
ippine Islands q.
Under the plan presented a con-
gressional district now entitled to two
delegates on the vote cast in the
presidential election in 1908 will
qualify for two if $500 or more votes
are cast for the republican nominee
in the congressional election this
fall.

NEVADA DOUGLAS
OUTPUT NORMAL
PRESIDENT A. j. OREM GIVES
OUT REPORT ON THE
PROPERTY.

A. j. Orem, 10 Milk street, Boston,
Mass. president of the Nevada-Doug-
las Copper company, says that re-
ports from its mines may be sum-
married. as follows:
We are still continuing to ship
the usual tonnage to the smelter
from both the Ludwig and Casting
Copper sections, about n car of
nigh grade ore being shipped from
the Ludwig each day. where the daily
output of the Casting Copper is in
the neighborhood of 100 tons. The
grade of the Casting Copper is run
ming along about six per cent. In
the Ludwig most of our ore is COM
ing from the 400 level, the 315 stope,
the Ill and 713 slopes, where a con-
siderable amount of secondary calca-
cite has been recently opened up.
AT the Casting Copper the devel-
opment work consists of driving a
series OF drifts and cross-cuts to IN
tercept the ore recently developed in
Diamond Drill holes IL and 16. These
drifts have been extended to the
south and east of the main workings
of the 100 level for a distance of
about 60 feet with high grade ore
showing for most of this distance.
The orebody is laying very flat and
seems to be making in large cham
bers in the limestone Immediately I'M
der the big limestone dyke which
outcrops on the surface. The dia-
mond drill is now engaged in drill
ing a hole in a northerly direction
from a point near the shaft on the
100 level. This hole will be driven
to a depth of about 800 feet and
should be productive of some very
good results, as the surface mineral
ization in this particular section is
as indicative of ore deposition be-
meath as that of any other section Of
the property.

MILL Is PROPOSED
FOR LYNN BIG SIN

A mill for the lynn Big Six in the
Lynn district. Nevada, it is announc-
ed, will be ordered this week. The
president and general manager, J..
H. Marshall, took the train last
evening for San Francisco fof that
purpose. On his way he plans to
meet Senator Wingfield and profit by
the latter's large experience in deter
mining upon the size and character
of the mill which will be ordered.
Inquiries at the company's office
in the Continental National bank
building resulted in the information
yesterday that samples of gold ore
from the two-foot quartz lead in the
east vein sent in on Friday brought
one assay of $163 and one of 500.
ne average of the quartz has here
tofore been stated to be $40 to the
ton, but it is quite possible that this
estimate should o be raised as the
drifting to the south progresses,
where, it is said, the ore is showing
more of the very high grade.
The secretary says that the Off
Gals no sooner o from n
pleasing bit of news than they are
met with another pleasant surprise.
Mr.. Marshall. however. Jays that
there is no surprise about it, except
that the ore is richer and more ex-
tensive than they expected on the
20O-foot level. The best expert adj
vice available, he says, assured him
of the existence of this east vein,
but promised no shipping ore with
out sinking below the present ross
cut. The manager says, neverthe-
less, that he has no quarrel with the
experts because the high-grade ore
was encountered sooner and in larger
quantities than predicted.
Judging from reports. another
great mine must now be added to the
list of rich mines opened up in Ne
vada in recent years.-Salt Lake
Tribune.

VINO believed that a still greater de-
crease should have been provided in
southern representation, the special
committee in it's recital says it is
within the province of a majority OF
the convention of 1916; if it so de-
sires, to establish another new basis
for future conventions.
The plan can be ratified by any
republican convention for the pur-
pose of nominating candidates for
state offices, or for the purpose of
adopting a party platform, or by any
state committee and held before
January /, 1915. The statement of
the special committee that drafted
the plan for presentation to the sew
eral republican state conventions con-
cludes with the following:
1.-The committee appointed to pre-
sent the proposed plan to the state
conventions believes mat it is desir-
able from every point of view that
the action of the national committee

posed for the election of delegates
the states having the great
est number of republican votes a lar
ger proportion of voting strength In
the supreme council of the party, and
by the changes made in the rules the
way is open for the separate states
to enact laws for the election of del
egates in primary election, and for
the majority of the voters participat
ing in the primaries to elect dele
gates who will voice the sentiment
of the majority" :
The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1914-04-11

This is a most satisfactory result
of the months operations, especially
when the large amount of develop
ment work is taken into considera-
ton, and compares very f~avorably
" ich the month of February, when
dIs elopment work amounted to 600
feet and the net profits were $4,000.
The immediate future plans for the
development of the property include
the thorough exploration of a big
acreage of trachyte on the hanging
wall side of the Mizpah fault, extend
ing easterly the full length of the
Favorite claim of the Belmont, which
it side lines, and in which some very
good veins have been discovered by
the Belmont company in the ~trachyte.
At the same time the development
of the veins in the western territory
will be proceeded with.

ing shaft.
This drift is now out over 40 feet
from the winze and is producing
some large masses of specimen ore
and for the entire distance the vein
has beer of splendid grade, the mine
car samples for several days in the
past week having averaged as high
as $50 a ton, and selected pieces
showing exceedingly high values
across the Iull face of the drift, but
the full width is not yet known.
This ore shoot is raking to the
west and should be encountered in
the three-compartment incline shaft
now being sunk 200 feet west of
the east wine when greater depth is
reached.
Jim Butler.
Ore shipments from the Jim But
Ter mine for March amounted to
1850 tons, showing an increase of
617 tons over the previous month
and being the greatest monthly out
put in the history of the property.
OF this. 1900 ton were stopped from
the New and South veins in the Des-
ert Queen workings and the balance
was mined from the Fraction vein
in the Wandering Boy workings and
the production from this section OF
the mine would have been greater
but for the accident to the hoist in
the early part of the month, stopping
shipments for over four days.
AS all the ore shipped in March
was of better average grade than the
February output a considerable in
crease in profits for last month may
be expected.
The property continues to develop
in a most satisfactory manner-Ton-
