UTAH ENGINEERS ARE
GRANTED CHARTER

A charter has been granted Nv the
executive board of the American In
stitute of Mining Engineers for the
organization of a Utah local of the
national association, or a Utah-Ne-
vada local. This is the word receiv-
bers of the national organization who
are back of the movement to form
a local branch of the institute.
r. G. Gemmell was formally advis-
ed by President b. B. Thayer of the
national organization that the char
ter had been granted, and Mr.. Gem
nell has been named as chairman of
the organization committee. Mr..
Gemmell has forwarded to President
Thayer the following names and sug-
organizing committee to act with
him: Duncan McVichie, G.. w. Ritter,
Lafayette Hanchett. George Blood
and Ernest Gaylord.
The charter provides that if the
mining engineers in Nevada who are
members of the national organiza-
ton wish to join with the Utah mem
bers, they may do so and the new
branch will be known as the Utah
Nevada local. In the event that the
Nevada men do not care to join, the
Utah members of the national asso-
citation will proceed with a separate
organization.
Local mining engineers are anxious
to get the ley local organized in or
der that they may take up the work
of preparing for the annual owen
ton of the national association to be
held in Salt Lake in August. A fund
of $4,000 is being raised among
the mining companies for the enter
tainment of the visitors, and the con
vention will bring to this city many
of the most famous mining engineers
in the wOrld.-Salt Lake Tribune.

NENzEL GIVES
UP STRUGGLE
WILL NOT PERFECT APPEAL But
WILL DELIVER 100000
SHARES OF STOCK

Joseph F. Nenzel failed to file a
bond for $S5,OVJ in the federal
court today and late this afternoon
Wayne II. Wilson, his attorney, said
they would not perfect his appeal and
would deliver to the plaintiffs 21O,-
900 shares of Rochester Mining COM
pany stock, in accordance with the
Judgment of the United States dis
trict court.
This, according to Wilson, leaves
Mcneil $4,000 shares of stock out of
$4,000 shares. John F. Cowan OF
Salt Lake City has 10000 shares
and it is believed he will combine
with Peter Stevens, Sam Stevens and
DR.. /. p. George, who get the 100000
shares of stock, and endeavor to force
action to GUST Nenzel from the boarG
of directors. 1t is said the scattered
condition Of the remainder of the
stock would make it almost impOssi-
BILE for Cowan to secure control of a
clear majority of the $1,000 shares.

MAN FOUND UNCONSCIOUS
ON RAILROAD NEAR M'LEAN

According to word received at the
sheriff's Office this afternoon, an I'M
known mar was found shortly after
noon at McLean's siding on the Tono-
pah and Goldfield railroad, even
miles west of Millers, in an uncon-
scious condition. Before losing con-
seriousness, the man was able to use
the railroad telephone at the siding
and informed the operator at TonO-
pah that he was suffering from va
hide poisoning.
He said that he had picked up at
Millers an empty beer bottle, into
which cyanide water from the mills
had found it's way and evaporated.
He rinsed the bottle out once and
then filled it with drinking water. He
told the operator at Tonopah that
he supposed that he had not gotten
all of the cyanide out of the bottle
and it had poisoned him. Following
the receipt of the message, the Ton
opah operator had several men go
from Millers to the aid of the strick-
en- man., who vas taken back there
and given medical treatment. Late
this afternoon it was learned that
the man was doing nicely and was
expected to recover

MICHIGAN COPPER

The production of copper from ore
mined in Michigan during 1913 was
135,S53,409 lbs, having a value of
$21.057,27S, the copper being cal
culated at an average value of 1915
cts. a pound, according to returns
received by the survey. The mine
output was much smaller than the
smelter production, as considerable
material mined and milled previous
to 1913 was smelted during the year.
The production compares with an
output of 2~1S,13S,40S lbs. in 1912.
valued at $35,992.S37. The great
decrease in output by the mines was
due to the labor troubles which be-
gan July % and continued for the
rest of the year. The output of all
mines was greatly reduced in the lat
ter half of the year, and several
mines were not operated after July
%. The mines produced 7,O16,3O7
IONS of ore with an average opper
of 1886 lbs. to the ton,
compared with 1I,411 ,941 tons of
ore in 1912 with IN average copper
of 1871 lbs. to the ton. In
addition to copper, the mines pro-
duced 295,173 ozs. of silver in 1913,
compared with 52S,453 ozs. in 1912.

MANY CLAIMS LOCATED IN
VICINITY DISASTER PEAK

Verne Johnson came in yesterday
afternoon from Disaster Peak, where
he recently located a group of ten
mining Claims. He made the trip in
Mrs. Vance's "Cartercar," driven by
Leonard Simpson, in company with
7. Simpson,. Leland Simpson, Ralph
Pelham and Mrs. Cora Simpson.
Mr.. Johnson reports hat the
ground for a radius of several miles
has been located, and that a great
amount of location work lis in pro-
gress. with excellent showings. He
came in for supplies and will return
the latter part of next week, when he
will establish camp and place a force
of men at work.
j. p. Clough and f S. Deardoff
also returned from Disaster yester-
da afternoon. They recently located
a large number of claims adjoining
those of Johnson, and have estab-
lished camp and have a force of men
at work.-Silver State.

CHANNEL FLOOR
ON MARBLE VEIN
CARRARA PLANT IS ABOUT
COMPLETED AND READY
TO PRODUCE.

But one cut yet remains to be
made on the fourth floor of the light
colored marbles and as soon as that
is made the channeling machines
will be removed to the outer edge
of the fifth floor and the cutting of
his floor started, says the ObeliSk.
The fifth floor will bring the quarry
down to within two eet of the der
rick floor level and when that is re-
moved, sinking below the derrick lev
ell will be undertaken.
Cost of production continues to
hover around 25 cents per cubic foot
of marble channeled, this cost is
gradually being reduced. By means
of an electrically operated derrick in
place of the present hand power der
rick a considerable saving in time
and labor will be effected. 1t will
almost be a necessity to have power
attached to the derrick when the
quarry reaches the derrick floor lev
ell as it will save much time and la
Dor in the handling of the eight and
ten ton blocks Of marble from the
quarry
About the first of the month pull
ing of the large blocks of marble in
the back of the fourth floor will be
started. From the manner the mar
Bile is channeling and the straight
cuts made with the machines it looks
like blocks of marble owe six feet
in length and four feet high and four
feet wide can easily be produced for
shipment. Dealers on the coast in
sist that the marble be over five feet
in length and at present there is no
doubt but that a number of these
blocks will be lifted from the fourth
floor for shipment.
The carload shipment of marble
made to Los Angeles on April 7th is
now under the gang saw and in a few
DAYS will be sawed and polished and
large slabs of marble rs inch thick
will be on display. Present informa-
ton regarding the marble shipped is
that it is more than meeting eXpecta-
tons.

SILVER CITY WILL
INCREASE ITS OUTPUT

From present indications and the
renewed efforts of miners seeking
leases at Silver City the output of
bullion from that district this year
will exceed that of previous ones.
The leasers on the Haywood mine
have 700 tons of commercial ore at
the McTeague mill which will net a
handsome sum to the operators, the
run on which will be completed this
week.
On the Blair property, which has
Just been leased to Dickerson and
Colquhon, the leasers r installing
a high power gasoline hoist to ex-
plore the mine at depth. The ground
that covers the present lease has been
a large producer of the yellow metal
in the past and old-timers state that
depth is all that is needed to place
the property in the ranks of profit
able producers.-Appeal.

LEASING CAMPANY
TO MAKE SHIPMENT

Stacking of high grade shipping ore
on the leases of the Carrara Mining
&c Milling Leasing syndicate contin-
ues at a merry clip, and a fifty-ton
shipment will be made next week to
the Mountain Copper company at
Mococo, California.
Three miners are screening and
sacking the ore in the ore bin and
they are having no difficulty in sack
ing around. five tons of ore a day. In
side the Old Schindel lease they are
sacking ore from the high grade vuS
holes that assays from $40 to 1878
to the ton in gold. The high grade
vugs will probably average around
the calcite and quartz and is mostly
picture rock, the gold appearing free
in the clearage.
Work on the upraise has been
steadily pushed forward during the
week and the rock appears to be very
nara. however,, II Is NOW DeCOIlluS
softer and several good sized vug
holes of high grade ore has been
opened up. These vug holes vary in
size from a few inches up to six and
ten feet in length and several feet
in diameter, and are lined with cal
cite and gypsum crystals.
The face of the tunnel has been
continued in the usual distance i'll

the pockety formation and character.
The main tunnel is being straight
ened out and the tracks extended
through it, thus saving labor in haul
ing out waste and ore from the work

All in all, the showing on the
lease is most gratifying, and one of
the best ore s~howings, eve made on
Bare Mountain, and gives indications
of developing into a real mine of o II

NEARING THE VEIN ON
NATIONAL BUCKSK|N

Sam f. Flynn, secretary of the Ma
tional Buckskin Mines company, who
was at National and Buckskin, re-
turned from the north last evening.
When seen this morning Flynn
stated that 1.-The situatio at National
Buckskin is one of excellence. Min
ing, both in the old ana new camp, is
becoming more active than at any
time during the past year.
The Buckskin National Gold Min
ing company is pushing development,
providing a rich mine and which
doing this is extracting high grade
ore, phenomenally rich.
The National Buckskin Mines
company has a number of men at
work who are forcing the long tunnel
ahead, aimed for the cutting of a
strong vein on the surface. The tun-
mel has progressed 800 feet into the
mountain. 1t is anticipated that the
big vein will be cut properly in the
near future ana that when cut a large
body of ore will be the consequent
exposure. The workings at present
are in a breccia silicified and the
same yields golden returns to pan
nings. These paintings show a gan
ton. Our confidence in hat we will
open a fine mine and make big money
for ourselves and u friends
Flynn expressed the above with an
earnest sincerity and feeling giving
force and effect t. his convincing en-
thusiasm. OF other workings he said:
THE leasers are all beginning to
do good work on Buckskin. n. p. r.
Hatch, Staunton and Dunn, Dan
Dwyer, the Berry Bros, Prout & o.,
have good blocks and locations and
are introducing machinery and ne
cessities with which to crowd the
work ahead. These leasers are on
the Bell high grade vein and from
the consistency shown in the Bell
workings there is every eason why
their aim will bring big rewards.
AT National the Hines-Baldwin
tease is mdkllS Il line SHOWluS. lHe.N
are taking the real high grade from
their workings and have every evil
dence to suggest a bonanza lease with
additional development, such as the
Stalls attained some years ago.
The High Gra.e lease on the
Charleston Hill area and managed By
Art Stowe, is making great progress
and with the short time work is re-
vealing fine evidence that the work
will open a rich body of ore. The
mineralized gangue on the vein drift
bars every evidence coincident with
high grade ore discovery.
The National Mines is working
and shipping bullion and concentrates
to the market.
"Other workings, such as the May
flower and Workman operations, are
all line-ups in accord with the oppor-
tunities of National and those oppor-
tunities are expressed in the great
production OF gold and silver that has
gone out of National into the markets
of the world. Silver State.
