similar tramway and their mine is
shipping lead ore. Ore was shipped
by lessees in 1913 from the Accident,
Palace and Monte Cristo group. The
Columbia, two miles west of Good
springs, shipped about 80 tons of
copper ore to the Salt Lake smelling
plant. Other developing properties
from which occasional shipments
were made are the Pilgrim, Blue
Jay, Volcano, Mountain Top, Milford,
Azalea and Hale group. Vanadium
ore was discovered in the Westmin-
ster and Bill Nye group.
Producing companies in Lincoln
county during 1913 included the
Prince Con-, Day-Bristol Con-, Neva-
da-Utah, Mendha-Nevada, Provi-
dence M. & C. company, Bamberger-
Delamar and Silver Comet; 73,547
tons were produced, valued at $780,
977. Prince Con-, the largest pro-
Queer, was abandoned by Knox in
terests. and reverted to Goddess. Day.
Bristol is a consolidation of the old
Bristol Con. and the Bristol and Jack
Rabbit of the old Nevada-Utah. Sew
eral leasers in the Bristol district
have a good quantity of ore ready
for shipment.
Nevada-Utah is now operating UNI
der the name of Amalgamated Pho
che, which in turn is controlled by
Consolidated Nevada-Utah. Some old
Stag and tailings have been shipped
and development is now going IN.
Mendha-Nevada installed a pipe line
and Hancock jig. With increased
value and decreased freight charges,
this company's prospects are bright.
The Virginia Louise sank to 460
feet and developed 100000 tons of
ore. There are two companies work.
ing in the Comet district, but no
production yet. At Silver Park,
~leasers tried to handle ore in motor
trucks, but were unsuccessful.
Rawhide, Eureka, ElkO
which succeeded the Rawhide Coali-
ton Mines company and the Raw
hide Queen Mines company, worked
about 40 men at it's mines and mills.
The company treated about 80 tons
daily in it's mill and during the com-
ing year will sink the Victor shaft
to 1000 feet. The Black Eagle Gold
| Mining company, two miles west of
Rawhide, continued it's development,
the ore taken out being milled by the
National Mining and Milling com-
company. The ore taken out from
gent Mining company, IL miles
northeast of Rawhide, was treated at
the same plant. Some ~high-grade
silver ore was encountered on the
Backlin and Flynn properties, west
of Rawhide. A new hoist was in
stalled by the Last Hope Mining com
pany, and the shaft was sunk, The
company shipped about 100 tons
monthly of $40 ore to the mill of
| Nevada New Mines company. The
Gre contains silver.
Mining in the Eureka district con
tinued to be restricted by the high
transportation charges for ore. The
Nevada Transportation company,
which leased the old Eureka-Nevada
railroad, placed it's rates so high that
the largest mining company, the
Richmond Eureka has made formal
complaint to the Nevada railroad
commission requesting a reduction of
rates. This company ceased mining,
and the only ore shipped was high
grade that would stand the cost of
sacking and the excessive freight
| rates. There were several shipments
of high-grade silver-gold-lead ores
from Hamilton in White Pine coun-
ty.
The Nevada Central Copper COM
pany sank it's two-copmartment shaft
to a depth of nearly 500 feet, the
ultimate intention being to explore
the ground below water level. The
company installed a 6O-horsepower
oil engine and hoist, and a 3~1O-cu.ft.
air compressor at it's property in the
Antelope district. The Mineral Hill
Consolidated Mines company, five
miles east of Mineral, i~nauurated a
new policy of development and very
late in the year made a strike of rich
Gre which is expected to prolong it's
life.
AT Bullion, the Nevada-Bunker
Hill Mining company continued work
on it's long cross-cut tunnel, which
is to reach 500 feet below the deep
est of the old shafts. On the Key
claim of this company, lessees Kerr
and Peterson developed a wide vein
of silver-lead-copper ore, from which
shipments were made during the lat
ter part of the ear at the rate of
three cars per week.
Developments were carried on in
Bullion-Nevada Copper cOmpany's
property, the Helen End. and in the
