HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF
ORE FROM HAMILTON

w. b. Pierce, manager of the Ham
ilton Power. Transportation and Min
ing company, who is now serving as
a juryman, states that his company
has 5000 sacks of ore out and
ready for shipment. The company
has been shipping steadily all winter,
Notwithstanding the heavy snowfall,
which deicyed transpOrt.tti"n some
what. At tn, present time the
agement has two fOur-horse and
one siX-horse outfit hauling ore, and
could use several more teams. Ar
~rangements have now been made for
auto trucks, which will go into serv-
ice about the first of May, after
which there will be no delay in trans
portation for lack of teams. The
auto trucks will reduce the cost of
transportation at least fifty per cent.
Mr.. Pierce states that the mine is
looking remarkably well at the pres
ent time, there being no lack of ore.
He is looking forward to a very live
ly shipping season from the mines of
Hamilton during the present year

MOUNTAIN Or ASBESTOS
FOUND NEAR GLOBE

A mountain of the finest asbestos
in the United States is situated 80
miles northwest of Globe, Ariz., in
the Ash Creek district, according to
a report sent to Globe recently by
Mr.. West and his som Tom and Al
bert, who brought in a quantity OF
the remarkable substance for ship
ment to New Jersey. They have al
ready a contract with a manufactur-
ing firm in that state to buy the pro-
duct of their mine at the price OF
1915 a ton f. o. b. Globe.
Speciments of the asbestos given
to friends here recently by the Vests
created a great deal of excitement
throughout the city, particularly in
view of the statement of the men
that they have located a mountain or
the substance, giving them a prao
tically limitless supply. The asbestos
runs from 2 to G inches in length and
is very easily mined.

COL. HIGBEE INSPECTG
NEVADA WONDER NINE

Colonel C. A. Higbee, president of
the Nevada Wonder mine, who re-
Gently returned to Philadelphia after
examining the property, stated that
developments on the 1OOO-foOt level
continue to be most satisfactory with
every indication that an extensive
shoot of rich ore will be opened up,
and the most encouraging feature
was that there was every reason to
believe that the deposition of values
in the vein came from great depth,
and that as the mine was opened up
on the lower levels, other shoots
would be found carrying good values,
and the property prove to be a very
deep mine.
The shaft is now 1870 feet deep
and is being sunk to the 13O0-foot
level.
The company has a capital of L.
5000 shares, of which 1,4OS,30S
shares have been issued, but the bulk
of this is owned by a few men who
are among the chief stockholders in
the Tonopah Mining company. The
stock is traded in on the Philadelphia
Curb. and is now selling at 1910 a
share.-TOnopah Miner.

NEARLY NINE TONS
OF BULLION SHIPPED

Shipments of bullion and concen
trates Friday morning from Tono-
pah amounted to $213,930. This was
nothing more than the regular out
put but the appearance of the plat
form at the railroad station would
not have tempted a road agent or
train robber to any special effort.
The bullion was in bars weighing
from $50 to 200 pounds each and it
would have required nothing short
of a railroad train to have taken the
stuff away.
The weight of the shipment to-
tailed 1854, pounds, or 416 pounds
short of nine tons of bullion. In
addition to these shipments two
companies sent out so tons of con-
centrates.-BOnanZa.

foods, drugs, weight and measures,
announced the appointment of S. V
Newell as his local deputy and that
e. H. Addison of TOnopah as his
deputy in the silver camp. AS the
duties of the offices require only a
few hours work each month, the
compensation is small.
Commissioner DinsmOre yesterday

RESUME OF DEVELOPMENT WORK DURING
PAST WEEK IN THE SILVER CAMP MINES

working shafts. In conversation with
a representative of the Tonopah
Miner, Mr. Ward said:
Il am greatly pleased with the
conditions of the mine, which shows
immense improvement since my last
visit here in November. The devel-
opments in the new working shaft
on the 95O-foot level and in the
wines now being sunk from that
level seem to point to a good ton
mage of very good ore being develop
ed. and the property is nov equip
ped to produce a large tonnage at a
very low cost. The heaviest ex-
penses in connection with the devel-
opment of the western end of the
property through the new main
working shaft have been incurred and
are all paid for, and / look for pros
porous times for the company, COM
mencing with this month.
Il shall return to Tonopah in May
to make another examination of the
property before the annual meeting
of the stockholders is held"
North Star
The downward extension of the
Macdonald vein in the North Star
mine was encountered this week in
a raise put up from the intermediate
drift on the 12O0-foot level, and the
raise has now been connected with
the 113O-foot level on a width of 3
feet of very good ore.
In drifting on this intermediate
level for the vein it was found that
it had faulted, and it was necessary
TO rise through the fault to pick up
the vein, and prosecuting through
this fault on the 1200-foot level is
now in progress to pick up the fault
ed segment.
This development will add very
largely to the tonnage of very good
ore exposed in the mine.
Jim Butler
The Jim Butler mine SHOWS great
improvement this week, especially in
the Desert Queen workings, where
what is known as the South vein on
the G00-foot level has widened from
8 to 4 feet or mill ore last week to 8
feet of very good ore with only one
was exposed, and in the east drift.
which last week showed 3 feet OF
mill ore, the average values have
greatly improved, and while the vein
is still of the same width, it is now
of good ore.
This vein produced a very large
tonnage of very good ore in the To
nopah Mining company's workings,
and in places widened to over s feet
of very good grade.
Montana
The Northumberland mine con-
tinues to show great improvement in
the workings on it's lower levels, and
on account of the excellent grade OF
ore now being treated and the fact
that both mining and milling costs
are being steadily reduced, it is be-
lieved that the net profits for Feb
ruary will be greater than for many
months past.-Tonopah Miner.

SEWARD PENINSULA
WATER RESOURCES

Nearly 10000 900 worth of gold
has been won from the placer depos-
its of Seward Peninsula, Alaska, and
as the future placer output depends
principally on the water supply, the
United States Geological Survey has
for several years been making a
study of the water of the
region. Water-Supply Paper 314, by
F. F. Henshaw and G.. l.. Parker, re-
Gently issued by the Survey, pre-
sents the results of stream-fiow meas
urements made in Seward peninsula
during the five years from 1906 to
1910, inclusive. Such measurements
period between the middle of June
and the early part of October.
Except for the cordial coopera-
ton of many residents of Seward
peninsula, this work could not have
been made so complete as it is with
the comparatively small allotments
that could be made to it. The mine
and ditch operators were quick to
realize the value of these investiga-
lions and have at all times shown a
cordial spirit in assisting the Survey
engineers by every e in their
power. Many have rendered most
valuable assistance in making gage
readings, in furnishing stream-flow
records made under private auspices
and in affording facilities to the en-
gineers during the per 1odic visits. A
complete list of all who have aided
the work would be almost a roster
of the placer-mine operators of the
peninsula.
Those not familiar with the con-
ditions of travel in Seward peninsu-
la can not realize at what expense
of toll and hardship Mr.. Henshaw
and his assailants have worked. The
travel was practically all on foot,
and as each engineer had many gag
ing stations to visit, some of the
journeys made were little short of
marvellous. The field season is short,
and the engineers felt in duty bound
to collect the greatest number of
records possible. They have shown
a spirit of self sacrifice which does
high credit to them as individuals
and to the profession to which they
belong.
Seward Peninsula forms the west
ern-most part of the mainland of
Alaska. 1t lies just south of the
Arctic Circle and has a maximum
length east and west of about 225
miles and a width north and south of
about $50 miles, including an area of
about 10000 square miles.
Water-Supply Paper 314 is a vol
ume Of 800 pages well illustrated
with photographs, diagrams and geo
logic and topographic maps. The
geography and geology of the penin-
sula are also discussed by p. S.
Smith, and the report contains a large
number of rainfall tables as well as
stream-fiOw reports. The water
powers of the peninsula are discussed
by Mr.. Henshaw, who believes that
there is from 10000 to 10000 horse
power favorably situated for hydro
electric development. A chapter Is
also devoted to bitches, siphons and
pipe lines, and A. H. Brooks contrib
utes an interesting description of
methods of placer mining. A copy
of the pamphlet may be obtained
free on application to the Director
of the Geological Survey, Washing
