MINING OUTLOOK
IS ENCOURAGING
SHELTERS AND ORE BUYERS
HOPEFUL REGARDING FU-
TURE OF SILVER

Silver was quoted yesterday at
SAY cents per ounce, and the gener-
al tone of the market for the white
metal was healthy, according to ad-
vices received from Salt Lake City
smelling interests by Frank Manson,
manager of the Western Ore Pur-
chasing company, says the Reno
Journal.
although the government does
not seem to be exerting itself in the
way of buying silver under the bill
recently passed by the government
providing for the purchase of 49,
900, 600 ounces within a period of six
months from the passage of the bill,
and shipments to Europe are block
ed by war conditions, the situation
is more hopeful than during the past
week, and l look for an improve
ment rather than a Decline" said
Mr.. Manson.
Naturally the sluggishness of the
market SO far as getting rid of the
silver they purchase is concerned, is
working a hardship on the shelters
by forcing them to keep millions Of
dollars tied up in silver bullion, but
there is nevertheless an optimistic
feeling regarding the silver mining
industry within the near future.
LEAD is also looking up a little,
and zinc or spelter is especially
strong, but the copper situation is
discouraging in the extreme. Cop
per mining companies and smelters
have been making a brave effort to
meet the conditions by reducing the
production. but if the war is of long
duration, further curtailment may
be necessary. because smelters and
ore buyers a not take on much
larger stocks of copper, which they
believe may be a burden on their
hands for months or ever years to
come.
when it comes to gold ores. the
smelters place ne limit and tell us
to send in all that the mines are
able to produce. One result Of the
unsettled conditions with some Of
the other metals will be to again
stimulate the search for new gold
districts, and it has generally proven
true that when the p~rospectors turn
their attention toward a certain met
al, especially gold, they succeed in
delivering the goods that the world
is demanding the most urgently. 1t
would not be surprising to hear of
the discovery Of one vr more good
gold camps in Nevada at almost any
time as a result of the renewed at
tention to this metal"

PURCHASE
WOULD AID MINES
JACKLING DISCUSSES
BILL AND EFFECT ON
METAL

Relative to the bill introduced by
Representative Macdonald of Michi-
gan in the house, which, If passed,
will authorize the government to
purchase Is, 100000 pounds of cop
per. Colonel D. c. Jackling said yes
terday that it would be of some help
to the producers at this particular
time, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
The same sort of a bill has been in
PRODUCED by Senator Ashurst Of Arr
IONA, the largest copper producing
state in the union.
Colonel lacking said that for the
second quarter of the year Utah Cop
per, the largest red natal producing
mine in the world, has yielded in ex-
cess of IS, 1000, 600 pounds a month.
Thus the proposed purchase by the
government would take from the
market more than a months output
from this one mine. The normal pro-
duction of the mines of this coun-
try is about lac, 100000 pounds a
month, and the $4,000, 000 pound
purchase would remove about IL
per cent of this. Under the curtail-
ed production that has been enforced
since the European war was started
the buying of $4,000 900 pounds
would remove from 20 to Is per
cent of a months output.
Within a short time the govern
ment is expected to buy this amount
of copper for it's regular use, and it
is a most opportune time to get the
requirements while the metal is low.
1t will be of some assistance to the
producers to have this amount of
copper taken from the stocks that
have accumulated, as each purchase
at this time has it's effect on opera
lions and the length of time they
may be continued, should market
conditions be unchanged for some
length of time.
Several million pounds of copper
has been shipped abroad of recent
date, and it is understood that con-
sumers of this country have bought
even a larger amount than was sent
to foreign countries. With this pur-
chase by the government. the con-
sumption at present would be about
equal to the production rate. This
would have a tendency to make the
copper metal situation look very
cheerful, as the large companies are
in a position to carry some metal for
a short period while trade conditions
are being righted.

NATIONAL IS
SHOWING IMPROVEMENT
HIGH GRADE ORE Is BEING EN-
TRACTED FROM TWO
DRIFTS

Senator w. J. Bell, when seen this
morning, had this to say:
"The Buckskin National Gold
Mines company is showing under de-
velopment much improvement and
fully justifying the endeavor we are
making to attain a mine of quality.
The north drift at the $40 foot point
is in high-grade ore. and in the
south drift We have another ore
shoot that breaks one dollar a pound
ore. The situation for us is very
flattering and an assurance that min
ing is a good and paying investment.
I'm my travels to and from the
mine I have occasion to observe and
note affairs and prevailing condi-
tons. The Paradise and Quinn river
sections, from a farming viewpoint,
are a great demonstration that the
state of Nevada is great in diversi-
fed opportunities. Through these
valleys there is a proof of wealth in
farming. The crops are great. The
people are all busy garnering their
crops. and in every direction there
is a prosperous connection that
makes prideful the real Nevadan. AS
a fact, for wealth, for opportunity
and for an expression of a good con-
tented people there is no better sec
ton of the country than Humboldt
county. Those from Missouri only
have to go and see and they will be
shown all these things" = Winnie

REVIVAL NOTED IN
ROCHESTER CAMP
BUILDING OF REDUCTION PLANT
CAUSES RENEWED ACTIv-
ITY IN DISTRICT

Activity in Rochester for the last
few months has been lying dormant,
says the Humboldt Star. The unset
tied conditions that would naturally
arise over the doubt of litigation
were accompanied by the lethargy
usual during warm weather.
Now, in the face of a definite state
ment of plans, this uncertainty is be-
ing replaced by an enthusiastic cam
paign of mining and Industrial prog
ress. The bristle and activity of &C
complishment is all the more intensi-
fled because of the contrast with the
last few months, when things were
nearly at a standstill.
Thus, at this time, the whole camp
is imbued with with the reward of
virtue for waiting for the culmi-
nation of all promises.
The psychological" moment of
maturity has seemingly arrived, and,
as a result, the whole camp is wear
ing a contented smile of realization.
The ditching machine has COM
pleted the trench from Hardesty
canyon to the junction of the Ro-
chester-Packard road. This dis
lance is about five miles. The pipe
that will carry the water for the mill
will be laid in this trench, covered,
and then plows will throw a mound
from each side over the pipe, thus
assuring protection from frost.
At present there are in the neigh
borhood of twenty men working on
the mill and the mixing of concrete
below, together with the blasting on
the upper levels, giving one an idea
that the mill is going through with
a rush. They are frequently inter-
rupted, however, through the fail
ure of the material to arrive prompt
ly. But every n hopes the mill
will be in action by the end of the
year.
A. A. Codd is maoving his men and
establishing a camp in Rochester to
complete the railroad up to the mill.
In the meantime new leasers, to
gethe: with the old ones, are going
at it hammer and tongs.
On Mcneil hill the Codd lease has
better ore than ever. The other
mines and leasers are not saying a
word, but are blocking out.
And Lincoln hill Is fast coming
into it's own. Cliff LIE Lorme is
taking out ore of a fine quality right
along. Your correspondent knows
of a leaser on Lincoln hill who, in
the last year, has never failed in
small shipments to the Hazen smelt-
err that netted better than wages.
And the browning glory of Lincoln
hill will be the plant that Cliff De
Lorme expects to install shortly for
all the free-milling ores of Lincoln
hill.
The opinion of the Buck and Char
ley is that it will be in the front rank
with a very consistent average of
workable ore which will keep the
milling interests busy to handle.
So, in view of these conditions, l
think that the present genuine con-
fidence in the future of the camp is
not only we'll founded. but is the
natural consequence of it's produc-
ton, which has totaled, in a little
over a year, the substantial sum of
$500, 900.
