have three dredges in operation on
creeks tributary to the Blue river

FLORENCE FIND
IS HIGH GRADE
IN VIRGIN
GROUND
EIGHT TO EIGHTEEN INCHES OF
PICTURE ORE ON $50
FOOT LEVEL.

By far the most notable discovery
In recent years in the property of the
Florence Goldfield Mining company,
says the Tribune, has been made in
a long incline raise above the $50
foot level about $50 feet north OF
the main shaft, where a streak of
picture rock. varying in width OF
from to Is inches in large body
OF quartz, has been revealed in the
last few days. Unusual Significance
attaches to the find in view Of the
fact that IL was made in virgin ter
ritory and gives promise of winning
new lanrels for the famous property.
Supt. II. b. Capp states that work
already done has proven the find for
a distance OF so feet in one direction
aud 40 feet In another The new
rich streak OF ore trends northwest
and southeast and stands almost
vertical.
winze has been sunk Is feet
from the 250-foot level and exposed
three feet of solid ore that yields
average assays of S96 per ton and
this Is plainly the continuation OF the
rich ore-shoot exposed in the raise
from the 1853 level, which is now az
rs feet and being continued TO con
meet with the winze above
Another raise will be started from
the 35S-foot level to undarcut the
ore body. Some of the high grade
material resembles the exceedingly
rich ore that was found in the En-
gineers' and Little.Florence leases
and is apparently worth two or three
dollars a pound showing quantities
Of the rusty free gold that marked
the ore in the earlier rich discover
les in nearby ground.
For two feet OH either side OF tn
exceedingly rich seam, which yarie
from eight to teighteen inches i
width, the ore i2 said TO averag
around 5000 per ton. No work ha
been done in this ground above tha

lily until 20 was reached and it
looked as though the old favorite was
going to repeat the burst of speed
shown in August. 1912
Another significan fact is the es-
tablishment of the prospective value
of other properties in the eastern belt
out on the flat where interest has
been centered ever since the Merger
became a mine.
Florence Goldfield acted mercurial-
ly, ascending or descending, gaining
or losing a point or two with heavy
buying and a lively market with
total sales of 1900 shares shown at
the close, opening at So and closing
at 80.
One OF the big surprises OF the day
was the conduct of Nevad aHills.
Wingfield property at Fairview. which
has been steadily declining for the
last eight months owing to an al
legged impoverishment in the lower
levels. The company had paid off
large indebtedness contracted during
the building of the mill when the de-
probation of the ore began to tell on
the net earnings. No local informa-
tion was obtained about the cause
for the advance. but it is taken for
granted that the company has come
into bette rshowing Of ore and that
II is possible that the mine may
/ have developed one of the high grade
streaks that rendered it famous in
the early days. The stock opened
this morning in San Francisco at a
after closing last night at 81 aad
sold up TO so and closed at so.
The days transactions IN san
Francisco represented total OF

sales at so, sold up to 73 and closed
strong at 20. with more bids than
offers.
The following message was received
from San Francisco by r. Fred

A new plan of development has
been decided upon by the Tonopah
Mining company, following the re-
markable discoveries of the past six
months which promise an indefi-
mite and prosperous period of ex-
istence to the company which marked
the dawn of the Tonopah boom.

mine had seen its best days, but

COLORADO LEADS
INTRODUCTION
Of TUNGSTEN
ORE
NEVADA SHOWS A SMALL TON
MAGE FOR ROUND NOUN
TAIN DISTRICT

Tungsten ores were produced dur
ing 1913 in six of the Western States
Colorado, California, Idaho, Ari-
zona, South Dakota and Nevada. Ac-
cording to preliminary figures col
lected by Frank l.. Hess, of the
United States Geological Survey. the
production showed an Increase over
that Of each of the two preceding
years. The output for 1913 was
equivalent to 1,525 tons Of ore carry
ing so per cent of tungsten triovide
and was valued at about $640.500
The production in the three proceed
ing years was 1880 tons, valued at
s502,15S in 1912; l,l39 tons. worth
s407 1886. In 1911. and 1921 tons
worth $s32,9 in 1910,
As heretofore. the Boulder county
field, Colorado, was the largest pro
ducer, with an estimated output of
953 tons of ferberite in 1919. against
S12 tons in 1912. The Atolia dis
trict, California, was the second
largest producer, and still makes a
larger production Of scheelite than
any other district in the world Near
ly all the output was produced by the
Atolia Mining company, but small
quantities were also produced from
several mines at Atolia and the
/ Stringer and Randsburg districts on
the north.
Some wolframite was produced in
the Clark mountain region, in south
4 eastern California. In Arizona schee-
/ lite was produced in the Old Hat dis
/ trict, 40 miles north of Tucson. Other
than the Atofia district, this is the
only district in the United States
from which a production of scheelte
is made.
Some hubnerite was produced in
the Arivaca region, near the Mexi
can boundary line. south of Tucson
and at Dragon, east of Tucson A
little hubnerite was also produced
at Round Mountain, New, and in the
Blue Wing district, Paterson creek
Idaho.
No production is known to hav,
been made in Washington during tn,
year, but a small quantity of wolfra
mite concentrates produced in 1871
in the Cedar Canyon district wa
sold.
A mill was erected at Hin City
s Oak. and a small quantity of wo
frantic was concentrated and par
sold.
Prices were better during the yea
than in 1912 and ranged from So I
$3.50 per unit Of 90 pounds OF tunl

NEVADA AUTO
MEN TO MEET
IN TONOPAH

The annual meeting of th0 Nevada
State Automobile association, which
was scheduled to be held here in
Tonopah on the cath, has been post
poned to February 22nd, in order that
the Ely club may be present. Also
there is a movement on foot to or
ganize additional clubs throughout
the state and President Patrick of the
Nevada State Automobile association
is in hopes that by giving little
more time TO them It may be possible
to report the application OF additional
clubs from the northern part of the
State This increase will give them
representation In the American Auto.
mobile association, the largest organi-
zation OF its kind In the United
States and which now contains clubs
representing 1t in nearly every State
of the Union.
The Nevada State association has
done excellent work during the last
year In accomplishing the routing of
the Indiana tour this way, which ad-
vertised the road conditions; and we
have been seeing the results ever
since by the number of cars coming
through here which, during the lat
ter months of the summer, would
average better than ten week.
1t has also secured the establishing
by the State Legislature of the Ne
vada State highway through the
southern part of the State, besides
numerous other smaller concessions
and privileges, all of which will bt
reported to the members at the meet
ing on the 22nd.
Both local and State clubs are II

WASHINGTON, Jan 21.- Many
people have any idea that there is
something mysterious and occult
about the work Of the Weather
Bureau in .forecasting the coming OF
storms. frosts and floods.
Suppose a business man had or
dered a carload of pineapples from
the Hawaiian Islands. He would know
the average time it would take the
steamer to make the trip tc the Pa
cifie port, the average time for un-
loading and loading into refrigerator
cars and the average number of days
to be allowed these cars for their
trip across the continent to New
York His estimate, however, would
be subject to error because the steam
ship might be delayed by fog, or the
cars might meet with accident.
Storms, like pineapples, as rule
do not originate in the United States.
They come TO us. some from the Phil
ippnes. Japan, Siberia, Alaska, Can
ada or the Gulf of Mexico. The
Weather Bureau gets cable, telegraph
ic or wireless notice of a foreign
storm Station after station, or YES
sci after vessel reports the storms
arrival in its neighborhood, so that
the general direction and rate of pro
gress can be determined very early.
In fact, the arrival of some storms
i can be foretold ten days in advance.
The forecasters watch for the
| region of low barometer, which is the
storm center around which the winds
blow. This whirld or eddy moves for
ward with the general eastward drift
