DISTRICT
CONTINUES ACTIVE

Special correspondence in the Salt
Lake Mining Review from Luntns,
Nevada, says:
The district embracing Luning and
its big copper prospects is c%ont'uu-
ing to develop even though the pres
ent war has had a tendency to de-
moralize the copper market. The
development Is due to the p%erfecting
of the teaching system, which vii.
treat the ores of this region by such
cheap process.
1t has been proven here hat ore
can - treated profitably with copper
a Z cents. This, taken with the fact
that we have solved the problem Of
saving the gold and silver values,
makes the autlook for the future
of the camp a very bright one, and
insures us against having to mine
and ship to the smelter ore that, un-
der the present system of haulage
and smelter rate, is impossible to
handle under 16 cents at a profit.
The plant for teaching copper ore,
installed by the Wagner-Azurite COM
pany. has overcome the neutraliza-
ton of the acid owing to the lime
content of its ore, and is more than
a success from the point of saving
the values. The company is still
sinking and is in high grade sulphide
ore that will average Az cents cop
per. and is forty-three feet wide.
The Luning Idaho Mining COM
pany is continuing the working tun-
ell. which has just cut some string
ers which indicates they are about
to intersect the ore on which the
in this tunnel eighteen feet of high
grade copper ore, carrying some sill
yer; probably the best showing in
the camp at this depth. This prop
erty lies to the south of the Giroux
ground. where a revival in develop
ment has taken place. which means
much for the camp a.. the company
has been ~reorganized and a large
sum of money raised to develop this
property.
The Alameda mines, controlled by
Spokane capitalists, are getting
ready to begin work on their i'm
mense holdings to the south Of Lun-
ing. The situation of their ground
and the large size Of their lodges
of low-grade copper ores. with the
Fact that they have ample water,
etc, makes the erecting Of a leach
ing plant on this property a posi-
bility in the near future. There is
a rumor to the effect that they are
~perfecting plans for the erecting of
a plant along the lines of the Nevada
Douglas plant at Yeringlon.
Numerous other properties of this
section are all beginning to look up
because of the possibilities of leach
ing, and all the very optimistic re-
garding the outlook. The Luning
camp is particularly we'll located for
the teaching process. Not only for
oxide ores, but for sulphides, and at
the same time being in a position to
save gold and silver values economi.
cally. Salt is procured at a moder-
ate figures at Sodaville, twelve. miles
distant. and for fuel for roasting,
the coal at Coaldale can be utilized
and obtained at a low price. trom
the sulphide ores, which would nee
~essarily have to be roasted, undoubt-
edly sufficient sulphide acid could be
obtained to carry on the teaching
process. Thus the essentials fol-
this process can be procured very
economically at this point. There is
water in abundance at Luning.

On Christmas Eve. OF about FIVE
clock the voices Of groups of Christ
mas carolIers were heard coming il
different directions and from different
churches, all vending their way to the
great Christmas tree SGT in The village

There were probably about 400 per

transpired. The church choirs Of the
Congregational church, Zion church,
and st. Pauls church took part in the
services, first one singing hymn and
then al singing together, then an
other choir singing another hymn, etc.
In between hymns a large group Of
the children from the schools stood
about the tree and sang their carols.
After the singing was over the chill
dren We're lined up and all came to
the tree and each received a bag Of
candy, this being the rift Of Mrs. w.
H. Mcclure Of this Village. There
were about $50 children present and
each one had a bag of the candy.
After the children had received their
candy and departed the singers went
about and sang carols at the homes
Of a few who were not able to be
out.
This first community Christmas
tree in Manchester was success and
was made possible mainly through the
efforts of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert M. Reed
who are spending the winter here.
