WRECK
NEAR M|lLERS
SPREADING RAILS SUPPOSED TO
HAVE CAUSED THE
ACCIDENT.

A westbound freight train of the
Tonopah and Goldfield railroad was
wrecked about 10 o'clock yesterday
morning seven miles west of Millers,
tying up traffic yer the line until
SIS this morning. Fortunately,
none of the train crew was injured.
Six freight cars, loaded principally
with ore, were, however, totally de-
stroyed. The accident is supposed to
have been caused by the spreading of
the rails.
The wreck occurred when the train
was passing I've a sand fill. The

necessary to repair it for the entire
distance before traffic could be re-
sumed.
The repair work was completed
this morning and the outgoing pas

shippers: Harris & Fine, two car
loads from the Silver Lick mine on
Adams Hill; P. Paroni, one carload
from the Tamietti lease on the Pearl
mine; Rosevear & Fault, one carload
from the Jackson mine on Ruby Hill;
Fraser Bros, one carload from the
Wide West mine on Adams Hill.
M. Venturino and John Pestori
have taken a lease on Prospect noun

PRODUCTION OF PYRITE.

The production of pyrite in the
United States in 1913, according to
w. c. Phalen, of the United States
Geological Survey, was 341,33S long
tons, valued at $1,2S6,OS4, a decrease
OF $500 long tons in quantity and
OF $4S,175 in value compared to the
output in 1912. The production in
the leading states-Virginia and New
iork-diminished slightly; in Cali
fornia there was an increased produc-
ton; and in Wisconsin the output
also continued to increase.
According to actual eturns for the
year 1913 the production of sulphur
ic acid in the United States was g..
53S,98O short tons of so degrees acid.
valued at $22,366,4S2. This output
does not include a small amount of
Tuning acid, but Toes include by-
product acid-that is, acid obtained
in the smelter industry. The acid
produced at copper and zinc smelters
in 1913 amounted to S90,296 short
tons of so degrees acid, valued al
$4,346,272, compared with 764,237
short tons, valued at $4.24O. 941 in
1912.

OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION
IS SHOWN IN REPORT

A recent report of the United
States geological survey shows that
there are gas wells with production az
high as 4,25O,OOO cubic feet a day
near Fort Smith, Ark, and that
there are other wells with smaller
production in neighboring areas, near
Mansfield, Ark, and Poteau, Okla.
The geologic anticlines and syn
clines of this region are easily rec
ognized from surface exposures of
the rocks, and the finding of the gas
in the crests Of the anticlines indi-
Gates that they control, in large
measure at least, the locations of the
gas accumulations. Oil has not been
found in these fields, but areas of
similar structure farther west are
locally ~oil-bearing. The map accom-
panying the report shows the areal
geology and the locations of the anti
clines, synclines and faults.
The geology of the Glenn oil pool,
in Oklahoma, has never been describ-
ed in detail until recently, when a
short paper appeared that in part
supplies the need for information
concerning this remarkable pool. The
stratigraphy of this economically i'm
portant region has been determined
by studies of an area which extends
considerably beyond the oil field, be-
cause little of the stratigraphy can
be discovered in the field itself. AS
a result of these studies the forma-
tons exposed in the ares east OF the
field have been correlated with those
encountered in drilling in the Glenn
pool.
A structure contour map of the oil
pool accompanies the report and
shows a slightly interrupted and
westward dipping monocline with
minor folds which have largely con-
trolled the accumulation of oil and
gas. The contours Zines of equal al
titude) represent elevations on the
top of the Fort Scott limestone
(known to drillers as the "OswegO
lime'').

BUREAU OF MINES
CAR IS COMING
II. NJ. WILSON, ENGINEER OF En-
PERTINENT STATION, MAX
ING ARRANGEMENTS.

H. M. Wilson, engineer of the bu-
reau of mines experiment station
at Pittsburg, "a, arrived from the
east Yesterday and spent the day in
consultation with Ed Ryan, state
mine inspector; Prof. J.. G. Scrugham
of the mechanical department of the
University of Nevada and Prof. j. G.
Jones of the Mackay School Of
Mines, says the Reno Journal. The
conference was with regard to the
itinerary of the federal bureau of
mines safety first car.
The car is used in giving demon
stration of proper measures for ac-
cident prevention and rescue work,
during July. A tentative program
was arranged during the meeting
which calls for the presence of the
car in the state for nearly two
months during which time it will
visit all the important mining camps
that can be reached by the railroad,
ard two excursions will be taken
away from the railroad, the supplies
and equipment to be transported by
automobile.
Yesterdays session was in con-
junction with action taken earlier in
the week at the safety first conven-
ton. The tentative program calls
for the following visits to be made
by the car and crew:
July IS, Virginia City.
July 81, Goldfield.
August 3. Tonopah. After a week
in TOnOpah the crew will be taken
to Manhattan by automobile on Au-
gust Is and several days spent at
that camp.
August 81, Blair.
August 80, Wonder and Fairview.
This trip will likewise be taken by
automobile.
On September 5 the car will reach
Reno and stay here for at least u
week. A more thorough and COM
plete program will be drafted by the
safety first committee before the ar
rival of the car and it is possible
brief stops will be arranged for
other points not already named.

STEAM SHOVEL WORK.

Steam shovel work is in high favor
at the copper mines and is proving
to be adapted to many situations in
which underground mining methods
have heretofore been supreme. At
the Utah Copper company all under
ground work has finally been aban-
doned. At the Chino i is possible
that all ore will eventually be mined
by steam-shovels and at Ely it is said
that plans for converting the Ruth
mine into an open pit have been
worked out and are now under most
careful consideration. Experimental
work with flotation has proved that
Ely ores are well adapted to the pro-
cess, and it is said that announce
ment that a ~flotation plant is to be
built may be expected.-Mining and

VEIN W|DENS AS
DEPTH IS GAINED
RICH QUARTZ LEAD in LYNN BIG
SIX NOW THREE FEET
WIDE.

The following information as to
the progress of development on the
recent strike in the east vein of the
Lynn Big Six, in the Lynn district,
Nevada, is given out by the secretary
of the company from it's headquar-
ters in this city:
Recent reports from the mine r
to the effect that the quartz lead,
which is nearly perpendicular, has
widened to three feet and more. Az
erage samples are taken every 6 feet,
the superintendent reports, and the
more frequent recurrence of the very
high grade has increased the average
assays to nearly $50 in gold to the
ton. The drift on this quartz lead
has now been run over thirty feet
and will be continued, the superin-
tendent says, for at least 600 feet and
probably the entire length of the
cain. A further basis for congrat-
ore is apparently richer as it goes
down and it certainly goes wider, as
do all the veins in that camp. Prep
arations are also being made to sink
on the lead of the quartz at the 200
level. Reports from Carlin say that
nothing is talked of now in the Lynn
district but the Big Six and it's as
tonishing development. The stock is
rather closely held in this city.
The president of the company is
now at the mine with one of the larg-
gest shareholders, and further re-
ports of plans and progress will be
available upon his return.

NEvADA'S OLD CAMPS
ARE COMING TO LIFE

Old mining camps neglected for
years and almost forgotten are being
resuscitated today in all parts of the
state of Nevada. This is particularly
the case in the northern portion of
the state, which seems to be a great
upheaved mining backbone. Now
comes word of the revival OF the old
camp of Cuprite located about half
way between Ida and GOldfield. In
one of the properties here it is
claimed that there have been dis
covered samples of $50 to more than
500 to the ton.
New impetus In the mining bust
ness is reported from Searchlight and
the Good Springs districts. At the
nce famous old camp of Phoebe,
where the ore was so rich as to stand
a wagon haul of 200 miles or more,
! almost from one length of the state
to the other, half a dozen properties
silent for years are now busy spots
promising to add to the states pro-
QuctlOn IOr une year l9lf.
Following up the eastern side of
the state there is a continuous min
eral zone dotted with many old
camps active years ago and now with
an urge to be heard from in the near
future. At Ely strong capitalists
back of the Giroux and allied prop
critics have great tidings in store in
the way of deep mining and a large
smelter.
Around Battle Mountain there is
an old-time gold placer excitement
spreading into a half dozen canyons
where nuggets are found ranging
from 81 up to more than 500. Ma
tional promises to be more active this
, year than eve before in its history.
Jarbidge is settling down to a per-
manent milling proposition, while
over the hills is Contact, which
eminent engineers predict as a sec
ond Butte with only a lack of rail-
road holding it back.
And when it comes to Tonopah, il
! is making a wonderful record, with
J tbs steady weekly output of 1900
tons valued at $275,000, OF better
than 81, 900, 600 every month. Gold
field is showing many activities,
while the famous old ComStOcks are
still dragging the precious metals
from the torrid depths of its 2400
and 2500-foot levels. Then there is
the new camp of Rochester with its
$500, 600 production in its baby year.
There are a hundred other camps in
the ore-ribbed state of Nevada which
I are today giving to the world more or
less of the precious metals, and will
continue to do so for many years to
come. The old abandoned camps
seem reused up and shaking them
selves as if awakened from a Rip Van
Wrinkle OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

HEATH CANYON MILL
is GIVEN TEST RUN

Guy L. Gallagher and VIM. Miles,
who have a bond and lease on the
Shepherd claim in Heath canyon, re-
Gently had a test run made at the
Irwin mill in Irwin canyon that was
entirely satisfactory. From 2,430
pounds of ore four and a half ounces
of gold were recovered as we'll as
500 pounds of concentrates worth
500 a ton. Another test Of a lot
of several tons will soon be made
at the same mill.

considerable activity this summer.
Mr.. Camp, the discoverer Of the
Camp, Shepherd and other lodges
there has recently made a new dis
covery on the Shepherd ledge that
pans at the rate of hundreds of dol
lars to the ton. The discovery re-
suited from tracing float found while
constructing a road and is apparent
ly a very important one. He is also
getting good results in development
of the Camp mine.
At Irwin canyon Paul Irwin, his
brother and their associates expect to
keep their small mill running steadi-
ly on ore from their W properties
and from the Henry Bros. mines.
