SUPERINTENDENT SAYS ORE
BODY OF CASTING COPPER
IS IMPROVING

The superintendent of the Nevada
Douglas Copper company has SUBJ
mitted to the officials of the corpora
ton at Boston, Mass, the following
report upon the properties in the
Yerington district:
We have increased our tonnage
at the Casting Copper from 100 tons
to 120 tons per day. The grade of this
ore during the last ten days of May
was about 6.75 per cent copper. The
size of the r body in the main
stope seems to be increasing a little
in size and the grade is a little bet
ter. The No. 5 raise is up SO feet
from the 200 level. This raise has
been in ore all the way I'D. averaging
about 2k per cent. The character
of the ore is all chalcopyrite in a
schist formation. Apparently this
ore is all primary, as it contains no
carbonates and no secondary sui
phides, but we should reach our Sec
ondary ore zone within the next few
feet, and then should have a good
commercial quality of ore. We base
this conclusion on the fact that we
have extensive bodies of leached
gauzen and low grade malachite de-
posts about so feet above the point.
In the event that we do not strike
this secondary zone of enriched ore,
we will have at any rate developed a
large amount of low-grade ore
which will be valuable milling ore.
"In the 900 stope at the Ludwig
we are still mining about the same
grade of ore as reported in our pre-
vious letter. We have connected
with the 7O5 stope with a raise from
the 500 and are now drifting ncrIh
and south on ore that will run about
6 per cent. This is practically all
new ground, and we have not deter
mined the extent of our high-grado
deposit. We are doing development
work on the 300 and 40O-foot levels
on small streaks of high-grade ore,
which in former times have been very
productive. The 40-foot level is still
producing the usual tonnage of high
grade ore. These deposits are ir-
regular, but from all appearances we
will be able to maintain the present
rate of production for a considerable
time"

HIGHLAND MARY
SHOWS UP WELL
CROSSCUT TUNNEL ON PROPER
TY REVEALS TWO GOOD 6
LEDGES

The National correspondent of the
Humboldt Star, published at Winnie
mucca, says:
The Highland Mary National Mines
company, in which d. w. Kennedy is
so strongly interested, has made sub
stantial progress during the past
month in favorable development.
The crosscut tunnel has cut two
veins carrying excellent values. The
big vein, which is the vein penetrat-
ing the National mines area, and
which by engineers calculations is
believed to be the mother high grade
vein of National, is being drifted on.
1t is a four-foot vein with perfect
walls, with from two to three feet of
in which values of $38 per ton are
secured. These values are in the
same proportion of gold and silver
associated with gold and silver con-
tents of the National ore.
Every indication, such as quartz,
tale and gangue filling of the vein
on the Highland Mary National is
indicative of an approach to n of
the National ore shoots. Manager
Popovich is confident that he will
open a rich body of ore, fully COM
%pensating the patience and persever-
ance of the men who have support
ed the development program neces-
sary to reach the present showings.
The HinesfBaldwin lease is Sc
curing high grade in it's workings.
The National mines is extracting
more ore of the dividend sort than
for some months past.
The Swedes, or National Develop
ment company, have resumed opera
tions. When winter set in and the
work was closed down on this prop
erty the operators were getting ex-
cellent values. The years work will
continue the development of this
fine showing.
On Buckskin, the Red Bell proper
ty or the Buckskin National Gold
Mining company, is placing high
grade mill ore on the dump and sack
ing the $40 to $50 a pound ore. The
is awaiting the arrival of
a mill to reduce this ore on the
ground.
The Staunton-Dunn people are
sinking a vertical shaft on their
block. They are mining and will
sink 220 feet before prosecuting or
cutting a station. From this poiAt
ore exploration will be made and
vertical shaft continued another no
feet, thus establishing a depth anc
proof worthy of the great Buckskin
National showing 400 feet further
south.
Other leases are doing excellent
work on the company property.
The Flynn-Martin interests are
pushing their long tunnel into Buck
skin mountain. making about three
feet a day. From calculations it will
take them some time to encounter
the main vein which in the top
workings revealed excellent values
and a strong vein.

PECULIAR SITUATION
IN COMSTOCK MINES
ERTIES NOW IN TREAS
URIES

A situation has developed at the
Comstock mines that is unparalleled
in recent years, say the Engineering
and Mining Journal. AS a result of
the public disgust at present condi-
tions, the control of a number of the
mines has fallen into the treasures
of the various companies for unpaid
assessments. Thus the Gould &
Curry. a famous property with a bull
lion production of over $40, 900, 600,
has over SO per cen of it's 100000
shares in its treasury, fallen delin-
quent for a Scent assessment. The
same is true of the Chollar, which
produced over $4,000, 600, the Saw
age, with a record of $40, OOO, 900,
and a number of others of less fame.
On several occasions within the past
few years. groups of capitalists have
tried to buy the control of the Com
stock, but in S 10 doing have gone
against that singular thing known as
human nature" 1t has in such
cases always been demonstrated that
to buy the control of a Comstock
mine held by the public has been al
most impossible. Before 10 per cent
of the stock has been acquired, the
price has doubled, before 20 per cent
is taken it doubles again. BY this
time the public seeing a movement,
not only holds it's stock, but actually
buys more. In addition to this, the
shorts try to cover. and the res
is n of the wild fluctuations that
have made the lode SO famous.
The present situation is, therefore,
that the control of the majority of
the Comstock companies may pass to
whomsoever will take put of their
treasures the stock upon which
trifing assessments are unpaid.
There is, therefore a good chance that
the control may be taken away from
the brokerage ring and by interests
who are minded to do real mining.
The Comstock still has great posi-
bilities as a mining district If it be
approached with a view to real de-
velopment and real mining, as the
recent experience of the Mexican
company has amply demonstrated.

the 100-foot level and south on the
200 and 350-foot levels, with highly
encouraging results. In the south
drift on the 2OO-foot level, values
ranging from 81 to IS a ton are be-
ing found, while the south drift on
the 350-foot level is following a
small streak of ore giving values of
from $1.20 to 81 a ton. A raise
started above the 200-foot level south
drift, fifty feet south of No. 1 stope,
revealed a streak of r from which
five mine cars of ore was extracted.
Goldfield Orc
Manager Thomas F. Manning is
authority for the statement that con-
ditions on the S10-foot level of the
S25-foot shaft on the property of the
Goldfeld Orc Mining company con-
tinue to improve steadily. He is
seemingly more pleased with the out
look for the future of the property
than at any tine since it's develop
ment was begun. Both the north
and south drifts on the S1O-foot level
have been advanced to a point
seventy-five feet from the shaft. As
work in the north drift continues, the
quartz is steadily becoming more
solid with a corresponding improve
ment in the values. The face of the
south drift is still exposing a broken
up formation but quartz of promising
appearance is beginning to be reveal
ed.
Atlanta Mines
On account of the recent increased
flow of water from the big vein, OPP
erations of the Atlanta Mines COM
pany are at present being confined to
the repair of the long southwest
crosscut on the 175O-foot level from
the main shaft of the Goldfield Mer-
ger Mines company and the shaft it
self, through which it is being de-
veloped. The management is
handling the water successfully and
upon the installation of large pump
ing facilities operations will be re-
sumed on a normal scale.
Silver Pick Con.
Recent developments in the Silver
Pick Consolidated have been of a
most satisfactory character. With a
raise going up on three feet Of $50
ore above the south drift from the
east crosscut on the 50O-foot level
along the hanging wall of the big
vein, the south drift from the west
crosscut along the footwall of the
same vein has exposed one foot of
$2S.91 a ton ore. The management
announces that it will soon increase
its working force from fourteen to
twenty men. in two shifts. and will
install two additional machine drills,
making five in all.
Other Properties
Routine developments prevailed
during the last week at the Vernal,
Kewanas, Booth, Blue Bull and yell
low Tiger. The exploration work at
each, however, is making splendid
progress.
