SILVER IS
CERTAIN TO RISE
TOR KEARNS OPTIMISTIC
REGARDING METAL

That silver, as we'll as all other
metals, is bound to rise in price, due
primarily to the law of supply and
demand; that the United States is
facing now the greatest opportunity
to become the leading commercial
power in the civilized world it has
had in all it's history; that Ameri-
can ingenuity and enterprise may
be depended on to take advantage of
the opportunity offered and supply
the non-warring nations, were the
opinions expressed yesterday by for
mer United States Senator Kearns
upon his return from an extended
visit to Nevada mining centers and
his farm in California. He express
ed the opinion that If the wal con-
tinues metallic money will become a
necessity and that as a consequence
silver will mount in price,
Speaking of the Silver King mine,
he said that wourk would be con-
tinued, and asserted that the Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company
had made every effort to help out the
situation, even guaranteeing advanc-
es if such were necessary. The re-
serve made acceptance of this offer
unnecessary. The smelter company
was to be congratulated, he believ-
ed, upon it's thorough cooperation
with the mining companies.
In discussing the mining situation
in Nevada, former United Senator
Kearns said:
"The mining situation In Nevada
is much the same as here in respect
to the silver-producing properties.
There was at first, as there is bound
to be in such cases, considerable I'M
easiness. This, however, has pass
ed, and the various companies are
going steadily forward, confident
that silver and lead will go up in
price.
"The gold production of the state
has increased. It's production was
not curtailed to any great extent,
because there was 10 logical reason
for curtailing. The gold camps in
Nevada are showing considerable ac-
tivity and the various operators are
decidedly optimistic regarding the
future of mining, not only in Neva-
da, but throughout the west.

WHEELER NATIONAL

which has given to the world a great

1900 feet to go in order to reach

distance disclose the Mt. King vein

16S feet with 200 feet of backs,
carrying values from $50 to SITS

Weeks REVIEW Of
YER|NGT0N MINES

The Mason Valley mine is keep.
mig up its shipments to the smelter.
This weeks shipments amounted to
over 1900 tons. The experimental
teaching plant at the smelter is
about ready for operations and will
be started up next week. This plant
has been installed after many ex.
periments which have proved very
successful. The plant will handle
about 20 tons of ore a day and was
constructed for the purpose of try
ing out the process on a commercial
scale. The process will handle all
kinds of copper ore, but sulphidee
will first have to be roasted. If this
little plant works successfully in all
ways a much larger plant will be in
stalled, as copper can be produced
much cheaper by this process than
in any other manner.
Quite a number of miners were
laid off at the Nevada-Douglas this
week. but some development work is
still in progress. Only 333 tons of
ore went to the smelter this week.
The construction of the new leach
ing plant is going ahead. The COM
pany has been getting some excep-
tionally good results from expert
ments with this process and finds
that it is going to be able to reduce
very materially the cost items in
connection with the process. The
company is not anxious under pres
ent conditions to keep a great force
of miners at work. nor will it in
GREASE the force. probably. until the
teaching plant is in operation.
VIM. Dexheimer and associates,
who have a lease On a portion of the
Wheeler mine in the Mount Grant
section, have extracted quite a guam
tity of ore and are about to start up
the little mill at the mine on a run.
Frank Meyers will have charge OF
the mill. The boys have a two-foot
vein of nice milling ore that will
probably run $40 or $25 and a small
streak in the vein uns up into the
hundreds. The boys stand to make
a little money on the lease.
Ebert and Summers of the Blue
Jay property are arranging to ship
a carload of ore to the smelter this
coming week. The ore is of a good
grade and is being shipped to de-
fray the expenses of the develop
ment work the leasers are doing.
Shipments will probably not be reg
ular until copper conditions change
for the better.
The Empire-Nevada company is
shipping 500 tons of ore to the smell
ter. This ore is to be tried out in
the teaching plant, which is about
completed; in fact a portion is now
ready to operate. In all likelihood
much more than this 50O-ton lot of
ore will eventually go to this plant
at Thompson.-Yerington Times.

NEW CAMP OF MCCOY
ATTRACTS ATTENTION
WHEN MCCOY FOUND IRON
KING LODE

AhCi II lhSl CdSlhS cNIuChCc tudt
the new camp of Mccoy, New, is be-
ginning to develop into a productive
region which may yet throng that
section with miners from all over the
intermountain country, says the Salt
Lake Tribune. The situation as it
depicted in a letter received yester-
day from Guy E. Pierson, who says:
Up. r. Whytock "a recognized
mining expert) has an office here
now, and we are having the whole
country hereabouts assayed. We will
keep him busy until we get some
idea of the extent and approximate
value of the district.
Eve are getting assays from 50
to SIS in gold from ore that will not
pan a color, and assays of
lead from 6 to so per cent from ore
that looks as if it had nc lead in it.
1.-THE ground owned by DR.. Ander-
son and Jake Chuck, which is the
latest strike, is a big body of ore
that runs over an ounce in gold, yet
does not pan a color.
mccoy has been doing consider
able ~assaying on Pocantico hill, west
of the main strike, and has not got
an assay on the large cropping there
exposed less than 50 gold up to $22.
The Reid lease has a tremendous de-
post of ore that averages over $50
gold per ton. Numerous assays have
run between $50 and SCI per ton in
gold and a few ounces in silver. All
this ore shows values in carbonates
of lead.
81 now look for many strikes to
be made through this assaying by
the wholesale, as so much Of the ore
is running high that would not show
results in the pan. The possibilities
of the camp are tremendous. It is
probably the only camp in any part
of Nevada that has never had a
rock broken by a prospector prior to
ninety days ago. when Mccoy made
the discovery of gold on the Iron
King lode.
"The ore is of a character that the
Salt Lake valley smelters could treat
for SO a ton: the freight from Bat
tie Mountain to Salt Lake is SO a
ton, the five-mile wagon haul will
cost about 81 a ton, with an addi-
tional 81 per ton for the short haul
to Battle Mountain on the Nevada
Central. This makes a total of So
a ton for freight and treatment.
Most of the men here have been
busy getting location titles perfect
ed, but they will now begin active
work of development.
The Lamb-Westrope property,
consisting of two claims, 1000 feet
south of the original Mccoy strike,
is showing ore bodies running from
$32 to $3.50 per ton in gold. Strange
as it may seem, the best values are
recovered by assay in ore that will
not show the gold in the pan. The
Allard ground, consisting of claims
1900 feet west of the original strike,
which is under lease to w. Fl. Clark
of Salt Lake, shows good shipping
values in lead gold and silver.
"The Nugent, Shay & Bergstrom
lease on the Mountain Chief claim,
about 1900 feet northwest of the
original strike. shows a large body
of carbonate ore that carries from
$40 to $22 in gold and good lead
values.
The country is very similar to
Leadville. Colo, and the possibilities
of it equaling hat camp are certain
if the surface is any indication. Min
ing engineers who have visited the
the future of the district"
