NEW MILL SUCCESSFUL
IN CAMP OF CANDELARIA

While in Candelaria Friday, we
had the pleasure of inspecting the
new test mill recently put in COM
mission by Superintendent George
Threfall, representing the English
and San Francisco capitalists, who
are re%juvenating the old bonanza
camp, says the Nina Miner. The
plant consists of ten-stamps and a
complete modern cyanide plant. 1t
has a capacity of 25 tons per day
and was constructed and installed
mainly to test the efficiency of eX-
tracing and saving the values in the
Candelaria ores. 1t has proved an un-
qualified success and as a result SUI
p%erintendent Threfall informs us
that plans are being drawn and the
work of construction will begin in
the near future on a modern 200
ton plant. The new plant is to be
1T at the mines below the portal
e main tunnel and tramway con-
IN to the plant SO that the
u be handled directly from
workings to the mill, MAX
t saving in the cost of
ores.

QUICKSILVER OUTPUT
DECLINED IN 1913

The quicksilver industry in the
United States broke a record last
year, but not an enviable one, for
with the exception of that of 1908,
the production last year was the low
est since 1860. Final figures from
every producing district, according
to H. d. McCaskey of the United
States geological survey. gives a do
nestle output of quicksilver for 1913
of 2O,213 TASKS of rs pounds each,
valued at $S13,171, against a pro-
duction of 25,064 TASKS, valued at
$1,O53,941, in 1912. The decline
was due partly to the large foreign
output for the last few years, a dull
market and a general lowering of
prices.
Producers report 154,033 short
tons of ore mined and available for
treatment in 1913, against 166,564
tons in 1912, and the reduction of
|136,27S tons, against 1858 tons
in 1912.
California, as usual, was the larg-
est producer in 113, with 1881
TASKS, valued at $627,22S, a de-
crease from the output of 1912 of
4,933 TASKS in quantity and of $685.
SOC in value. The total value of the
production of quicksilver in the state
from 1850, the date of the earliest
output, to the end of 1913 has been
$95, 9O2,23. The quicksilver output
of Nevada in 1913 was 1,645 TASKS,
valued at $66,17S.
Quicksilver is used mainly for the
manufacture of illuminate for explo-
sive caps, electric appliances, drugs,
and scientific apparatus and for the
recovery of gold and silver by ANAL
gamation. The use in gold and sill
yer recovery was formerly extensive,
but the rapid increase in the cyanida-
ton of gold and silver ores has ma
terially decreased the recovery by
amalgamation. This is, of course,
due in part to the change in depth
from free-milling to unoxidized ores,
but more largely to the successful
treatment of certain large supplies of
ores never profitable by amalgama-
ton at any depth and to increased
economies and profits by the substi-
tuition of cyanidation for amalgama-
ton.
The most important producer of
quicksilver in the United States is
the famous New Almaden mine of
Santa Clara county, California,
which contains over 100 miles of un-
foreground workings and which has
produced steadily since 1850.

THOMPSON WRIT OF
CERTIORARI

Judge Somers of the district court
having this afternoon declined to en-
terrain a motion for a writ of GER
tiorari, Attorney j. G. Thompson,
who on Tuesday vas sentenced to
pay a fine of $50 or spend one day
in the county Jail for contempt of
court, will take the matter to the

ROCHESTER, WILL GET
LAHONTAN ELECTRICITY

w. H. Leffingwell, chief engineer
of the Canyon Power company, which
recently received the award from the
government of the rights to the La
hontan hydro-electric power POSSIBLE
tiles and plant. is preparing to place
a surveying crew in the field at an
early date to determine the route
that will be followed in building the
transmission line from Lahontan to
Rochester, a distance of about 100
miles. He says actual construction
wor kon the transmission line will
be under way within the next five
or six weeks.
The transmission line will be built
direct from Lahontan. and thence to
the Lovelock valley and on to Ro-
chester. The Lahontan dam has
been leased to the Canyon Power
of California for a term of
ten years, the new operators of the
plant to take possession Dec. 1, 1914.
According to the plans of the COM
pany power lines will be extended
from the Lahontan plant to Hazen
and Lovelock. 1t is intended to sup
ply territory now dependent upon
power other than electricity, for the
development of mining interests and
other industries.-GaZette

SAYS CAMP mccoy
WILL MAKE GOOD
SALT LAKE ENGINEER THINKS
LANDER COUNTY CAMP IS
A WINNER

According to- the Battle Mountain
Scout, B. F. Wilson, a mining engi-
neer from Salt Lake City, has ex-
pressed the opinion that Mccoy, the
new Lander county camp, will make
good. He stated that in most every
hole that has been sunk good values
have been encountered. He showed
us a sample of galena ore, with
quartz and lead carbonate from
which w. w. Clark had sent samples
to Salt Lake and received returns as
high as $50 per ton, and the sample
came from a solid vein in place of
three feet strong, going down at an
angle of about 70 degrees, with we'll
defined walls, which are lime on n
side and igneous rock (probably
rhyolite) on the other. The distance
from the Clark workings and that of
Mccoy and his partners, Dave M.
Shropshire and J.. l.. Durrett, is
about a quarter of a mile. The for
mer is a gfld, lead and silver camp,
but the Mccoy camp Is principally
goI, although the vein which Clark
is working on runs 1000 feet through
the Mccoy claims and no work has
been done on it.
The total cost of mining, hauling,
railroad freight, sampling, mining
and treatment is given at $12 per
ton, divided as follows: Wagon
haul. 81; railroad haul to Battle
Mountain, 81; sampling, so cents;
treatment, SO; mining, SO.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that the future of the district de-
ponds on whether the values will be
found concentrated at greater depth
or if they will remain scattered.

from the treatment of this ore will be carried as miscellaneous arnings,

profit for Jn is masked by the absorption of IN cost Of construction neces-
ay for changing a section OFT the mill for custom re. The regular summer

and eastward on six feet of $12 ore,
which is being handled through a
raise from the 921-foot level east
drift into the Velvet claim from the
Poleverda workings. The two raises
recently started above the 921-foot
level drift, fifty and one hundred feet
from the line of the Poleverda claim,
were connected a few days ago and
above their junction stopping has been
started on six feet of SIS ore. On
account Of the decided fiat position of
the vein revealed by the crOsscut
from the face of the 921-roor level
drift, a raise has been started to dis
close the hanging wall streak of ore
and highly encouraging results are
being obtained.
The most pleasing conditions pre-
vail in the faces of the northeast and
southwest drifts being run along the
shale footwall of the vein at a point
about twenty feet below the floor of
the new stOpe above the 97-foot raise
from the east crosscut off the main
southeast crosscut on the 1O17-foot
level in the Poleverda claim With
neither wall of the vein exposed, the
northeast drift is exposing a full face
of SIG rock, while the face of the
southwest crosscut is yielding $50
ore, which grade of rock is being sent
to the smelters through the Western
Ore Purchasing company.

KENTUCKY ESTABLISHES
NEW RECORD FOR COAL

The coal mined in Kentucky in
1913 was 19,616,0O0 short tons,
valued at $2O,516,749 according to
Edward w. Parker, of the United
States geological survey. Kentuck
is n of the twelve states that i'm
1918 established new records in the
quantity and value of their coal pro-
duction and in one respect-the per-
centage of increase-Kentucky out
classed all her eleven record-making
sister states. The increase in guam
tity mined amounted to 3,126,O79
short tons, or 10 per cent, and the
value increased $2,662,542, or 21.7
per cent. The nearest approach to
these rates of increase among h
other states whose production ex-
ceeded 5000, 900 tons was in Vir-
ginia, whose output increased 12.5
per cen in quantity and 10 per cent
in value. Nearly so per cent of the
increase in Kentucky's production in
1913 was in the eastern counties,
Letcher county leading, with an in
crease of over 100000 tons and
Pike county standing a good second,
with a gain of 1859 tons. Harlan
county was third in quantity of in
crease, showing a gain OF 411.S1o
tons, and Bell county fourth, with
an addition of 2SS,461 tons. The to-
tai increase in the eastern part If
the state was 2,4S1,767 tons, and
the western counties showed a total
gain of 644,312 tons. Until 1912
the larger portion of the coal pro-
duced in Kentucky was mined in the
western counties, but increases g
gregating more than 10000 tons
in the eastern counties during the
last two years have given the SUI
premacy to hat portion of the state.
In 1913 the production of cOal in
the eastern counties exceeded that in
the western district by more than
per ton advanced from $1.O2 in
1912 to $1.05 in 1913.
The number of men employed in
the coal mines of Kentucky increas-
ed from 24.304 i'll 1912 to 26,332 in
1913, and the average working time
from POI to PIP days. The average
production by each man employed
was 745 tons in 1913, against G19
tons in 1912 and $40 in 1911.
The increase in individual produc-
ton was due in large part, if not en-
tirely, to the more extended use Of
mining machines, Kentucky in the
percentage of machine-mined ton
mage to the total output ranking
next to Ohio, and being second among
all the states.
Labor troubles in the coal mis-
of Kentucky were insignificant both
in 1912 and 1913. Only 1,029 mine
workers were on strike in 1913, and
the average time lost by them was
Is days. Notwithstanding the
larger number of men employed and
of days worked in 1913 compared
with 1912, fewer fatalities were re-
ported to the bureau of mines, tie
accidental deaths being reduced from
81 in 1912 to As in 1913.
