NEVADA PACKARD
HAS new FIND
OFFICIAL FIGURES ORE BODIES
BY ACRE FEET INSTEAD
OF TONS

"New ore strikes in the Nevada
Packard Mines company's property
are too vast to be computed in TONS"
says Superintendent Frank Mar
grave and he figures the ore in sight
by acre feet, according to the Love-
lock Review-Mner. The last strike
shows values of $119 in silver and
81 in gold, and at this writing the
shoot is eight feet high, five feet
wide, and they have gone into 1t
four feet; that is, so Mr.. Margrave
reports to the company, 1.-The drift

value, sides, top and bottom
Mr.. Margrave is not far afeld
when he computes the ore in the
Nevada Packard by acre feet, instead
of tons. In the lower workings OF
the company, tunnel c, the main tun-
mel. struck the ore Ga rect from the
portal and continued driving on 1t
65 feet. Cross drifts run from tun-
mel C both west and east for a dis
lance of approximately so feet each
way, continue in ore, and upraises
for 20 feet show ore Therefore, 1t
figures that the Nevada Packard
Mines company has a solid body of
mill grade ore 6~5x100x20, with oc-
c~asional shoots that run to shipping
grade. In no direction have they
run out Of the ore.
The Kdomer-Hampton lease has
resumed shipping to the sampler.
The ore comes from a cross fracture,
apparently coming from the dyke.
The shoot is six feet wide and runs
practically without sorting over $50
to the ton. The last car shipped
went $62, contained so tons and was
extracted in sixteen days by three
men. From this leave nine cars
have been sem out, and the leasers
use a canvas cover to shield them
selves from the hot rays of the SUM-.
Nine cars shipped from the open cut
is certainly some record.
In these workings a shoot has
been cut which is small in size, about
IA inches, which goes over 500
ounces in silver to the ton. The
leasers are driving a lower bench
which will come in under the shoot
at about 20 feet deeper, when if the
values are found to continue they
will drift and upraise on it.
Tunnel A on the company work
ings has reached the upper vein. The
values found are low, showing that
the shoot lies either to the north or
to the south of the tunnel. In the
breast considerable ~oxiration occurs.
The formation is straighter and the
rock not so hard as that found be-
fore striking the vein.

JUDGE SOMERS
FILES CONTEST
SEEKS RECOUNT OF BALLOTS
ON DEMOCRATIC JUDGESHP
NOMINATION

An action contesting the selection
at the primary election of Attorney
j. Emmett Walsh as democratic
nominee for the office of Judge of
the seventh judicial district, COM
prising Esmeralda and Mineral coun-
ties, was instituted yesterday in the
district court of Nye county by
Judge Peter j. Somers, who was Mr..
Walsh's opponent for the nominal
ton. Judge Mark r. Averill Of the
Nye county court has set September
2S as the time for hearing the con-
test. Richard S. Miner of Goldfeld
and H. R. Cooke Of Tonopah have
been retained as counsel by Judge
Somers.
Judge Somers alleges In his COM
plant that eighty illegal votes for

ALASKA GOLD IS
SHOWING UP WELL
OCCUR ON DEEP LEVELS
OF NINE

Opening up of the Alaska Gold
property, preparatory to putting it in
shape to furnish ore as rapidly as
the mill is able to receive it, con
tinues to be productive of very graft
flying ore developments, says the Bos-
ton News Bureau. The two nos
notable developments are OF the low
est and uppermOst levels of the mine,
namely, on the thirteenth and on the
fifth, about 1900 feet apart on the
incline of the lode. On the fifth level
the last crOsscut driven from the
eastern extension of the drift shows
a width of better than 100 feet, with
values close to 50 per ton; also, the
crOsscut from the top of the No. 2
shaft has entered the same orebody.
Consequently. the developments on
this level now a total length on
the lode substantially from the No. l
to No. 2 shaft, a distance of 1000
feet. These developments, as in the
case of the latest crosscut, have prac-
tically, at every point, indicated a
lode of unusual width and above the
estimated average value.
The developments on the thirteenth
Of "Sheep Creek level continue of a
remarkable character. 1t will be re-
called that the crosscut from the bot
tom of the No. 1 shaft to the "Sheep
Creek" adit had shown an orebody in
the footwall, a considerable portion
of whose width assayed very high.
The drift now being continued west
ward and which is now some 600
feet east of the No. / shaft, continues
for the full sixteen feet of the width
wall Orebody; in fact. it Is stated to
be in better ore than has been en-
countered as yet in any place on this
level.
Assays run all the way from 81 to
500 per ton, with a very large guam
face.
The power development scheme is
now practically completed; the dam
has been finished and the water has
begun to go to storage.
At the "Sheep Creek division,
where the 600O-ton mill is being
built, all of the fishing concrete
work at the coarse-crushing plant has
been completed; all of the equipment
erected and in place with some slight
exceptions.
The concrete work in connection
with the underground ore bin pocket
for the storage of crushed ore finish
ed and the steel erectors are making
good progress in the erection of the
steel on the main roll section.

Mining operations in the Comstock
district are moving forward as usual
this week in the several properties
now operating, and general condi-
lions from a mining standpoint con-
tinue hopeful says the Virginia
Chronicle. The Consolidated Virgin
ia at the Northend Is engaged in i'm
portant work on the $500 level,
where sill floor sets are being in
stalled in the northeast drift from
the east crosscut from the shaft sta
tion, for the purpose Of raising above
the level in the vein. Rich gold ore
was found on the 2400 level, and 1t
Is now proposed to carry on devel-
opment work between the 2400 and
$500 levels. The Mexican and I'm
ion Con. are working through the
Union shaft. and the Union, on the
$3.50 level is driving a crosscut to
the west. The ground is proving
well mineralized, and a change in
the formation is reported this week.
The crosscut has entered diorite,
which is held to be especially favor
able. The Mexican company is sink
ing the incline Wine below the $500
level, which on Saturday last had
reached a depth of 1853 feet on the
incline. A station is to be cut at the
1850, after which development work
will be undertaken. The United
Comstock Pumping association is
continuing work on the 1000 Reid
Ter pump station, and has made re-
pairs this week to the pump located
at the $500 on the Ophir incline. The
pumps are working successfully
and holding the water below the
$500 level.
In the Gold Hill section, hosting
of ore from the Crown Point and
Belcher properties has been delayed
for a few days, due to the breaking
of the hoist cable in the Jacket in

1t is said that the process of ex-
traction of the radium values from
this %torbernite ore is much more SIM
pie and less expensive than that re-
quired in the treatment of the carno-
tite ores of southeastern Utah. On
this account the torbernite deposits
are the objects of keen search by the
representatives of the worlds radium
plants.
Where the ~carnotite " of Utah
occur in masses of canary-color in a
grayish sandstone, the Tooele cOun-
ty tobernite is a micaceous structure
occurring in green tobular form and
foliated form. 1t Is a hydrous phos-
phate of uranium and copper.
Several tests have already been
made of it's radioactive forces.
These have been signally successful.
One of four days duration made re-
Gently by Sheriff Bush and others
gave excellent Photographic results.
These tests, along with the foregoing
analysis of the ore, practically set at
rest any doubt as to it's nature and
the Importance Of the discovery.
The greenish ore is found in a
pure white quartz and lime spar. In
the vicinity and in the same silicious
deposits have been found consider
able quantities of sulphates of zinc.
Up to the present probably 95 per
cent of Utah's carnotite res have
been shipped to Germany and Eng
land. The ORES have been picked up
at minimum prices by local and for
eign representatives of the European
manufactures, shipped by carload
lots abroad and there the valuable
radium extracted. The radium is
reshipped across the ocean and the
American doctors and scientists have
had to pay the fiddler. For their
own radium they have been taxed
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Now, however, with the German
plants stilled by war. the ever-alert
Yankee is brushing around and pres
emily will have its own plants, buy
his own Utah and Colorado ores
and will be selling his homemade
radiums. This pending condition,
it is thought, will soon place a pre-
MUM upon every productive carno-
tite and tobernite deposit in the ma
ton, and should bring large sums OF
needed eastern money into Utah to
develop its vast latent mineral re-
sources.

WORK
TO DETERMINE SALE
PRINCE CONSOLIDATED OPTION
ON PROPERTY OF VIRGINIA
LOUISE NOT CLOSED

Future development work in the
Prince Consolidated and in the Vir-
ginia Louise property, on which the
management of the Prince has re-
Gently secured an option, will deter
mine as to whether the option will
be taken up, according to the direc-
tors, says the Salt Lake Tribune.
Engineers who are capable of deter
mining the character and extent of
the deposit at greater depth with
some degree of certainty may be Sc
lected to inspect and give their
opinions on the value of the Vir-
ginia Louise. Though the Prince
property is on higher ground. there
is an opinion that the neighboring
property may have title to some of
the veins and especially to the sui
phide deposits, which are as yet to
be developed.
The Virginia Louise has been
opened up to a depth Of 465 feet with
a double compartment shaft, which
has developed a manganese ore de-
post of the same character that has
been opened up in the Prince ground.
and which, in the Virginia Louise
shaft. has been exposed for a dis
lance of 100 feet in length and $50
feet in width.
A second ore body was found be-
meath this, which has been followed
for a distance Of twenty feet and
which is 100 feet wide. 1t dips at
an angle of II degrees, and is said
to extend through the property for
a distance of 1900 feet. In this sec
ond deposit there was also found an
improvement in the values.
If there is a secondary enrichment
in the Prince section of the camp the
future is assuredly good. But 1t is
evident that the next important
move to be made by the management
is to develop this property and deter
mine what the character of the min
eralization is to the depth Of at
least 1000 feet. That a good working
shaft will be sunk to this depth is
the consensus of opinion expressed
by the directors. some of whom think
it is time for the company to spend
a portion of it's surplus in putting
the property in the best physical con-
dition possible.
Experimental work with drills sat
isfied some of the company officials
tina. the prospects of getting a richer
ore in the sulphide zone we're good
enough to warrant development Ia
that section of the territory. TIE
drills showed some mineralized ma
terial, but the matter of values and
extent of the ore is yet to be deter
mined. The Prince company has tie
money with which to perform this
new work, and some Of the officials
are quite urgent in their requests
that sinking be started without de-
lay. The Virginia Louise deal has
started something which may be the
turning point in the camps future.

NEW DISCOVERY Of
RAO|UM ORE MADE
FIND IS MADE WITHIN FIFTY
MILES OF SALT LAKE
CITY

Tobernite has been discovered in
Utah by George Simpson of Glover,
says the Salt Lake Herald-Republi-
can. This deposit, six miles west
of Ajax station on the Salt Lake
route, is said to be the only find OF
it's kind in America. There are but
two other places in the world yield
ing this sort of radium ore. Yester-
day M. NJ. Bush of Salt Lake, former
sheriff of Tooele county, was in town
showing some handsome specimens
of this valuable ore. A careful
analysis showed that the new discov-
cry carries 8 per cent uranium with
traces of vanadium, silver and 40
cents gold to the ton. Uranium OK
ide is worth $3.50 a pound. That
makes such ore worth 1851 a ton at
present prices.
Sheriff Bush said yesterday that
he. Mr.. Simpson, the discoverer, and
/ William Ajax of Tooele are the own
ers of the property. They have TAX
en- up a group of six claims covering

The wheat producers of various Sec

wheat, as determined by the com.
mission. is reported to be IS cents
per bushel on the farm and 62 cents
per bushel ( o. b. ears at country
points. According 10 the report, the
cost of production has increased 1915
per cent since 1909, while, on the
