WAR CAUSES PRICE
OF TIN TO INCREASE

The outbreak of the European war
has caused the New York price of tin
to rise to Go cents a pound, although
in the latter part of July tin was
sold as low as 3O.5 cents a pound.
None of the European countries
make a production which would
greatly affect market values, and the
disturbance of price is due mostly to
the insecurity of ocean freights which
are carried very largely in English
or German bottoms.
The known American tin deposits
are small, and production from them
will probably not be much affected
by the exceedingly high prices ii
these are temporary. However, the
operators now working tin deposits
may reap a profit if they a market
their ores before the drop in prices
that is sure to come.
The benefit which it seems possible
to get out of the present situation is
in the establishment of a tin smelter
in the United States in which to
smelt Bolivian tin ores and such
small lots of American ore as are
produced. At present between 80
900 and 10000 tons OF tin concen-
rates carrying more than 2O,Cuv
tons of metallic tin are shipped each
year from Bolivia to Europe for
smelling. The United States would
absorb the tin smelted from this ore
easily, and it has been demonstrated
that there are no difficulties in the
smelling of the Bolivian ores that
American m~etallurgists can not meet.
Owing to the lack of European
freighters, bolivian ores will now be
seeking a market, and, providing
that ships can be found to carry the
ore, this will be the opportunity for
Americans to begin purchasing the
ores that have heretofore gone to
Europe.
A few years ago a smelter was es-
tablisned at BayOnne, n. j., in which
to smelt Malayan tin ores, but when
it became known the English govern
Malayan tin ores not going to some
part of the British empire. Such a
thing could not happen in Bolivia,
and to some extent, at any rate, the
smelling of Bolivian and otner ores
in this country would relieve Amer
lean from the speculative
profits of the London market.

EARLY COPPER DISCOVERY

The Grand Gulch mining region of
Mohave county, Ariz.. is the subject
of a short report by j. M. Hill. of the
United States geological survey, pub
lished as bulletin 5SO-D. Copper is
the mineral which has resulted in the
development of the district, and, &C
ocrdingto Mr.. Hill, the original Grand
Gulch ore deposit was discovered
about 60 years ago.. although it was
probably known to the Indians be-
fore that time. Since 1906 it has af-
forded a continuous production, and
the total output is estimated at $500
600. Mr.. Hills report is the result
of a few days examination of the
geology of the region and the mines,
which he briefly describes with &C
c~ompanying sketch maps. A copy OF
the report may be obtained on ap-
~plication to the director, United

CALIFORNIA MINERAL
INDUSTRY PROSPEROUS

Although not yet completed, the
work of the state mining bureau OF
California during the past year has
revealed the fact that the mineral
industry, in practically all it's branch
es. is in a most flourishing and pros
porous condition. During a year
which has been known as n OF gen.
eral financial depression throughout
the country the mineral industry OF
California has increased, in value OF
it's output, approximately 100000
600. Prices of metals and other
mineral substances have been low,
yet stockholders in companies en-
gagged in producing mineral sub
stances in the state were paid $780,
OO0, 900 in dividends during the year
1918. Transportation and other faci-
lities are gradually being extended
into the more inaccessible regions of
the state, and with each such ad-
vance scores of hitherto undevelOped
mineral deposits are rendered avail
able for exploitation and possible
production. A limited demand has
retarded development Of many of the
industrial materials but the growth
of California in population and as a
manufacturing center is raising that
barrier; and a reduction of freight
rates to the east, which will I'M
doubtedly take effect with the open
ing of the Panama canal, will give
further impetus to this branch of the
mineral industry.
California is still a new country.
Its mineral industry is the largest
single factor in the development of
the state, and is one which will hold
pre-eminence for many years to come.
Opportunity, for both the prospector
and for capital seeking investment,
exists throughout the state, and it is
the purpose of the state mining
bureau to promote the interests of
the mineral industry in all possible
ways. Other valuable publications,
aside from the n mentioned above,
are available for distribution, and
general information of any kind will
be gladly given to all inquiries re-
ceived at the office of the state Min
ing bureau, Ferry building, San

AMALGAMATED COMPANY
SHIPS HIGH GRADE ORR

Work has been progressing with
a good deal of vigor at the proper
ties of the Amalgamated Phoebe
Mines & Shelters corporation dur
ing the past week. Operations were
resumed on the 140O-foot level last
Saturday, and the hosting of ore
from that part of the mine is now
going on. About $50 gallons per
minute from the lower workings is
being raised, the pumps elevating it
to the surface about one-third of the
time, while the balance of the time
is consumed in diverting 1t to the
twelfth level, where it finds an out
let in the assures of Meadow Valley
No. 5 mine.
At the present time the company
is mining about 800 tons of ore
per week, so tons of which is of
high grade shipping material. the
balance going to the milling dumps.
The recent rise in the price of
zinc works materially to the benefit
o fthe company. 1t is understood
that the last car of ore shipped from
the 400 level averaged about SO
unces in silver to the ton.-Pioche

MILL At JARB|DGE
GRINDING OUT ORE

F.. L. Rigsby returned last week
from the northern part of Elko
county, where he was in company
with A. J. Sale, formerly of the Gil
roux, says the Ely Expositor. They
spent a month in and around the
town of Jarbidge on mining busi-
ness.
Mr.. Rigsby is a large stakeholder
in the Elko-Jarbidge Gold Mining
company, which is operating in the
Jarbidge district. The company
now has a force of men at work and
has done about 1000 feet of develop
ment, chiefly prospecting. The main
tunnel is in 1875 feet, where the
breast shows considerable quartz in
stringers four to eight inches in
width, which pans well and some of
which shows free gold to the eye.
Mr.. Sale made a thorough examina-
ton and reported favorably on the
property.
Dee Clark, formerly of this dis
trict. is opening up a gold property
on the Bruneau river about 20 miles
west of Jarbidge. He owns a one
third. Rigsby and Sale spent five
days at the Clark property and were
greatly impressed with 1t. The vein
is a contact between quartzite and
lime, carrying values o f$42 a ton,
and is fourteen inches wide. Clark
and his partners, Gus Nelson and
Joe Rife, have made arrangements
for the erection of a stamp mill
next month. The property is about
half a mile from the river, and they
have fine water and plenty of timber
for mining purposes.
The Jarbidge district is looking
good. according to Rigsby, who says
that all the properties r respond
ing to development work. A FIVE
, stamp mill produces $4,000 bullion
a month from Alpha ores, the prop
erty belonging to the Potter Palmer
about half a mile north of the AL
pha, a large tonnage of $40 ore is
blocked out on the dumps. A mill
will be in operation on the Flake
this fall.
The Buster and Success proper
ties are blocking out ore every day
and have the largest tonnage in the
district in sight. George Wingfield
is still negotiating for these proper
ties. Taking everything a % a whole,
the outlook for the district is de-
clared to be very bright.

yER|NGTON MINES
SHOW UP WELL

The mining situation in the Yer
ington district seems to be on a very
substantial footing. While smelters
and mines all over the country are
shutting down or %curtailing produc-
ton our smelter is treating the usual
tonnage of ore. In fact this instltu-
ton is n of the important industrial
plants of western Nevada. 1t is not
to be spoken of as a democratic can
didate for a state office did the other
evening when he inquired: Where
is this dinky smelter in this section
of the country" This man was
from Reno and Reno would be Nigh
ty glad to have a smelter at her door,
for it is a business proposition that
is larger than anything Reno now
has or, probably, will ever have.
Here we point with pride to our
smelter and it won't buy any candl-
date many votes to ~disparage III en-
terprises, be he republican or demo-
crat. The Mason Valley Mines COM
pany's management, in all depart
ments, is probably the most able to
be found in any mining and smelling
center in the country.
Everything at the Mason Valley
mine is running in its usual smoth
way. The production is up to the
usual amount of ore. The eastern
section of the mine is showing up
wonderfully well as development pro-
crosses and the amount of ore being
blocked out indicates a good big pro-
duction for a long period of years.
The large body of ore recently I'M
covered in the Casting Copper section
of this property is being developed
as rapidly as possible and is proving
to be a big thing in high-grade val
ues. The Ludwig section, under de-
velopment, is looking better thar
ever and proving this oldtimer to be
the greatest producer of high-grade
in the state. The railroad spur to
the site of the teaching plant is COM
pleted as far as the grading is con-
cerned and ties and steel will be laid
as fast as men car do the work. The
actual construction of the teaching
plant proper will be pushed to
speedy completion. A large amount
of material is being brought in and
unloaded every day.
Ebert and Summers, leasers of
the Blue Jay, are pushing the 300
foot tunnel ahead as fast as possible.
his tunnel will connect with the
deep shaft, and when completed, will
give them better facilities for
handling the output of ore they ex-
pect to extract. While the work of
driving the tunnel is going on a
hoist has been installed and ore is
being hoisted every day. This ore
contains excellent copper values and
shipments to the smelter will prob
ably begin next week.
A. M. Wishart made a trip up to
the Silverado mine this week. He
reports the ore shoot holding out
unusually well and quite a quantity
of ore is ready for shipment again
1t will be shipped just as soon as
the smelter gives the word as to
what can be done with silver ore.
Leasers are working in all parts o
the Yerington district and in spite
of the depression in. other parts OF thu
country, affairs here seem to be run
ming along very smoothly.-Yering

GENEALOGICAL DATA
COVERING LAST MONTH
MEAN TEMPERATURE. FOR
THE STATE, AS WHOLE, BE
LOW NORMAL

The Chronological report for the
state of Nevada for the month OF
July, which has just been issued by
the Reno branch office of the United
States weather bureau, in part, says:
The mean temperature for the
the average; generally at the lower
elevations it was above and at the
higher elevations below the average.
There were not abnormally warm or
cool spells during the month and the
changes from day to day were mod
crate, usually taking place in connec-
ton with movements of showers.
The precipitation was a little above
the average and occurred in the form
of local showers and thunderstorms,
which were widely scattered; on 23
days there was a thunderstorm re-
ported from some portion of the
state, but the larger number of them
occurred from the 18th to the Esd;
the 18th was the only day on which
no rain was reported within the state.
The showers were light in the west
ern portion and were heavier in the
eastern portion of the state.
While the streamflow has decreas-
ed during the month, there is still
plenty of water in the rivers. The
snow lies heavy on the northwest
sclopes at high elevations in the
southwestern portion and has not e
tirely disappeared in the northeast
ern portion
In the southern portion the crops
have been harvested under favorable
conditions. in the northeastern por-
ton apricots and harvest apples are
! ripe. IN most of the central portion
the range is in great need of rain.
The monthly NEAR temperature
for the state, as shown by the rec.
ords of As stations, was TIA degrees
The mean for the "a stations having
ten or more years record was 0.6 de-
grees at Gold Creek to 81 degrees al
Jean. The highest Temperature
recorded was 11S degrees at Iceland
on the 18th: the lowest, 80 degrees
at Tecoma, on the 23d Only once has
a higher temperature been recorded
in the state, 119 degrees in 1889.
The average precipitation for sc
stations in Nevada for July was 0.52
inch. This. for the "a stations hav,
ing ten or more years record, was
OLA inch more than the normal anG
was OTIS inche less than for July last
year. Amounts at the four stations
in the Columbia Basin averaged 0.7S
inch; Is stations in the Humboldt
Basin, 0.56 inch; 10 stations in the
Truckee Basin, COS inch four sta
tions in the Carson Basin, OLE inch
seven stations in the Walker Basin
O.44 inch; IA stations in the minol
basins, 0.66 inch. The Creates
monthly amount reported in the state
was Ito inches, at Sharp; the leasI
reported was none at Levers Rancl
and at Marlette Lake; a trace was re
ported from nine stations.
