new CAMP OF RAND HHOWINC
TO BE RICH and PROSPEROUS
New Mining Territory Which Will be Great Benefit to
Mason Valley When 1t is Developed

of three claims on the same vein, is
owned by Messrs Koegel, Hubert and
Pike and they have shaft down $50
feet and the ore there encountered
is of twice the value as in the Lone
Star ground, indicating that the val
ues increase with depth Considerable
ore from this property has come to the
Thompson smelter and it has run
around $50 per ton.
The ore is about equally divided in
gold and silver values and there is
every evidence of permanency.
1t costs So per ton to have the ore
hauled to ellis, on the railroad, and
the charges for smelteing and hauling
from ellis have been about So per ton
Messrs. Kan and McNab, of the
Tmopson smelter, paid the camp a
visit the first of this week to look over
the proposition of putting in spur
track a couple of miles south of Gil
lis to facilitate the loading of ore onto
the care, and this will probably be
done at once.
The camp now has less than 100 in
habitants but peojle are going in quite
rapidly and it is believed that
Rand will be a hummer this summer.
There are several other good pros
poets in the camp besides those above
spoken of and it is fully believed that
there will be two, if not four, good big
mines developed. The lack of water
is one drawback to the camp, but
this can be obtained from wells some
three miles distant and sinking $50
feet, more or less.
There is every indication that the
camp is going to experience an old
time boom this summer. 1t has shown
itself to be able to produce the goods
so far. and with mill in the section
to handle the lower grade ores there
should be the building of a permanent
and prosperous community. The
electric power line from Mono county
to Fairview and Wonder passes close
to the camp and power for all pur-
poses can be secured easily and
cheaply when il is wanted
Mr.. Minis has stayed with his To-
cations since 1907. undergone many
ups-and downs to hold them. but is
now soon to be rewarded for his per
sistency in hanging on to what he has
always declared would make valu-
able mining property. And his friends
will be glad to see him prosper.

f. NJ Minis, of the new camp of
of ellis on the line of the Nevada and
California railroad, paid Yerington a
visit of couple of days this week.
He was returning from Sacramento,
where he has been for several weeks
undergoing repairs for a couple of
fractured ribs caused by the breaking
of shive wheel and the cable strik-
ing him over the heart He has now
about recovered from his injury.
Mr.. Minis is quite enthusiastic
about the prospects of the camp, as
well he may be, for he stands to clean
up quite nice fortune from his hold
ings. He is the owner of the Lone
Star group of claims and has done
considerable work on them, having
No. shaft down to depth of Is
feet. No. 2 shaft down to depth of
us feet and No shaft down to a
depth of 100 feet. The vein is a deep
contact one, evidently, showing float
for distance of three miles. The
formation is andesite and porphyry,
the andesite forming the footwall and
the porphyry the hangingwall. The
ledge averages 20 feet in width and
there is from three to five feet of a
rich streak on the hanging wall. Mr..
Minis has shipped considerable ore
from his property, some of going to
Hazen and the National mill at Raw
hide. but the latter shipments to the
smelter at Thompson. One OF the
first shipments netted him about SloO
per ton and the others S33 and S44 per
ton The last shipment to the smell
ter netted S32 per ton and this was
from shaft No. 3 The previous car
load netted $42 per ton. He expects
to continue shipping to the smelter
indefinitely and is arranging to put
a gasoline hoist on the property. All
OF the work has heretofore been done
with whim. The ledge, outside of
its rich streak. will all run about $40
or Sl2 and will make a fine milling
proposition in the near future.
Mr.. Minis has recently bonded to
p. f. O'Brien, of Berkeley, Cal, a
fractional claim { the sum of $35,0OO
receiving a substantial payment down,
and this property is to be developed
on large scale He has also leased a
portion of his holdings to Nels Eric
son. former resident of Yerinton,

THE STUDENT LOAN FUND A
GREAT BENEFIT.
How Students of Nevada Can Secure
Money to Help Them Along.

Life is full of golden opportunities,
but success depends not so much on
opportunity as upon determination
and stick-to-itiveness. That Nevada
students may know OF the opportun-
ities offered under the Student Loan
Fund of the Federation of Woman'S 5
Clubs of the State, here are its gov
erning rules in nutshell. The funds
are available first to girls, high school
graduates, or those who have COM
pleted a one-year normal or Univer-
sity students shall have preference.
Boys are eligible under like condi-
tions, but only when funds are suffi-
cient and no application from girls
are on file. Each applicant should file
with the nearest member of the Loan
Committee two testimonials, one from
club member, as to worthiness III
character and studies, coupled with
the showing that pecuniary conditions
make it necessary. These are fore
warded, if approved, to the Chairman,
Miss Emma c. Vanderleith, at Carson
The loans are made without inter-
est at stated intervals, in small sums,
as agreed upon and the total loan
shall not exceed $500 in one year, nor
more than S400 to one person. The
committee treats such loans as OF Il
confidential nature, and the borrower
given note agreeing to repay as
soon as she or he is self-supporting
at the rate of $40 per month II the
loan is $400, SIS per month if $500,
and $40 per month if less. The fund
is only available to residents of Ne
vada and, of course, Nevada institu-
tons of learning are to be given hrst
rights. Miss Vandeleith, the Chair
man, is very much interested in her
work and is both willing and anxious
to answer all questions. She is de-
termined that the fund shall be used
up to the limit, if not by girls, then
by boys, and, fthe money on hand
runs short, and a deserving student
bobs up trust her to secure the where
withal.

Annual Report Of Mason
Valley for 1913 u:

The annual report of the Mason Val
ley Mines Company for the year 1913
was received at this Office last week
and from it are CLEANED the following
facts of the operations of the com
pany for that year:
The total tonnage of ore smelted
was 227,855 tons, of which ll6,63o
tons were from the company's prop
erty and ll1,21o tons custom ore.
From the foregoing was produced IL
loo tons of copper matte, containing
l4,60l,520 pounds of copper, 9,922.73
ounces of gold and 12l ,83474 ounces
of silver.
The Treasurer's report shows a net
profit for the year of $l20, ,56423,
which added to the balance of the
credit account gives them $347, ,461. IA.
The charges to profit and loss account
for the year include depreciation Gin
cluding deferred charges) Sill ,131.43,
interest on bonds and floating indebt-
edness aggregating $S5 ,340.ll, expen-
ditures on properties taken under op-
ton and relinquished during the year,
$20,78457, and development of the

The property is still being operated
by the company. An option was also
taken on the Blue Jay group in April,
1913, but work was discontinued on
it and the option given up last De
cember The company located eight
full claims near the Blue Jay and adj
joining it and these claims are still
held
The development work during the
year has proven the extent of the ore
south and east of previous work in
the Mason Valley and more recent
work indicates an ore shoot to the

BRIEF MINING NEWS OF THE DISTRICT FOR The
y. .'s' 4. L. = WEEK JUST PAST.
Minnesota-Nevada-The Minneso-

+ Minnesota -Nevada-The Minneso-
ta-Nevada Copper Mines Co. held its
annual meeting at the mine on April
l6 Otto Taubert was elected Pres
ident and Treasurer, Theo. Michel,
Vice Pre- esident; NJ F. Taubert, Sec
retary; VIM. N. Fey and Walter. Tau
bert Directors. The company is sink
ing on Cuprite shaft, on which they
installed new gasoline hosting
plant a month ago, and are getting
some nice cuprite ore in the shaft.
The company is also fixing up machin-
erp on the Minnesota shaft and will
start prosecuting on the 5O0-foot
level to get the large copper vein
which crops on the surface. This
work, is expected, will take about
two months.
na-Yeringtcn-The shaft hav-
ing been timebered and the hoist set
mp on this property sinking has been
resumed for another lift below the
l60-foot level. Two shifts are now
operating and rapid progress is being
made. The sinking is being done by
contract and as soon as the 260-foct
level is reached drifting will be started
to get under the ore body opened up
on the 100 level The ore is said TO
be of unusually good grade and it
is belived that the property is going
to make one of the good shippers in
the district.
Empire-Nevada-The Miami people
are going ahead with drilling work on
this ground with two shifts of men.
The sixth hole is now being put down
and several more holes will be drilled
before the company inaugurates such
work as sinking shafts and placing
hoisting and other machinery To
date the several holes drilled aggre-
gate several thousand feet The man
agement is not yet ready to give out
any definite news of results, but from
the push and energy displayed in the
work it is gathered that results are
not at all unsatisfactory.

east and paralleling the main ore zone.
This ore is of profitable grade and
has been proven on two levels and an
intermediate crosscut level between
No. | and No. tunnel levels This
ore body is now being drifted on
to determine its extent north and
south Exploration above No. | tun
mel level has been satisfactory. The
ore bodies above this level have not
been as regular as at depth but the
ore as rule has been of higher
grade Stopping above No tunnel
level has continued along the main ore
zone for total distance of $50 feet.
Development work on No. tunnel
level to the south has proven the con-
tinuation of the main ore zone, and
stopping is in progress for distance
along the level of more than 800 feet.
In 1913 the amount of drifting done
was | l,250 feet, prosecuting l,195 feet
and raising 2,l34 feet, or total of
4,5S5 feet of work, making total of
2l,ll2 feet of work in the mine alto
gether.
The smelling capacity of the plant
since the enlargement of the two blast
furnaces is 1900 tons of ore per day.
The new converters added to the plant
during 1913 are capable of handling
the matte resulting from the smelling
of this ore and the equipment for
sampling and smelling of this tonnage
is in first-class condition.
| A new residence for the manager
was constructed during the year and
three cottages for workmen, also a
club house for the employees of the
smelter and small building for a
hospital
The addition of the converters 10
the plant will be of great benefit in
the operations, both financially and
metallurgically. There will be a
saving in the cost of producing cop
per and the custom ore field can be
extended to districts producing ores OF
a salcious character. - @.--.s

portance to operations of the smelter
The activity in the various mining
camps tributary to the 'sinelter has
continued to increase in an encour-

ceit5d from l20 new shippers during
The year Shipments have been re
ceived from more than $50 different
shippers since the starting of the oper-
ations of the srnelter
The company is making ever effort

the cost 'of production will be re-
sdueed and the profits increased.
