CLOVER MINING CO.
SHIPPING ZINC ORE

Fifteen men are now employed on
the property under lease and bond
to the Glover Mining company, To-
Gated 26 miles south of Wells, New.
Regular shipments of zinc ore will
be maintained, according to the
management. There has been
opened up a various intervals a min
eralized zone 200 feet in width and
600 feet in length, and from one of
the open cuts run into the noun
tain there has been mined about
100 tons of zinc ore. Practically
all of the workings are shallow.
In the main shaft, however, which
a drift is being driven along a fis-
sure. The main objective of the
drift is to tap the large outcrop of
ore that has been explored by the
various prospect holes on the sur
face. 1t is expected that when the
drift reaches it's objective an ore
body of considerable size will be
encountered.
Since Feb. 1 there has been
shipped from the property six car
loads of ore, that, according to Pres
ident B. F. Woodward, has netted
the company about $4,000. There
has recently been opened up to a
depth of 40 feet a lead-zinc ore
body averaging As per cent in lead
and zinc, which product is now be-
ing shipped to the United States
Smelling, Refining and Mining COM
pany, which company is paying for
both metals in the ore.
At a point about 1000 feet west
Of the main group of claims the
company has recently opened up an
ore body running high in zinc and
lead on the ground of the recently
incorporated Tobar Mining company.
This showing has been developed on
the surface by open cuts and pros
pected for fifty feet in width and
about $50 feet in length. Officials
of the company will leave Salt Lake
today to visit the property.-Salt

REPORTS ARE MADE ON
SEVERAL MINING CAMPS

Reconnaissance examinations of
sixteen mining districts in northwest
Nevada and three districts in north
eastern California were made in 1912
by ]. NJ. Hill of the United States
geological survey and his report is
given in bulletin 594, recently issued
by the survey. The Nevada dis
tricts reported on are in Douglas,
Lander, Mineral and Washoe
ties. In California the mining dis
tricts examined were the Hayden,
Hill and High Grade in Lassen coun-
ty and the Winters in Modoc
ty.
Mr.. Hills reconnaissance was
made to satisfy the demand of the
public for reliable information and
to gather data which should be OF
use in planning further geologic
work and in preparing a general re-
port on the geology and ore deposits
of the two states. His work prom
Uses to be of value not only to those
interested economically in the ore
Gerosits but also to students of ore
deposits who may be in search Of
Trustworthy observations by which
to test of amplify conclusions drawn
from their own experience.
Several Nevada districts were
at their zenith in the palmy days of
the Comstock lode and they added
rillions in silver and gold bullion
to the output of the state. With
the exhaustion of the richer ore bod
les and increased difficulties and ex-
pense in mining with depth. many Of
the mines were abandoned and the
camps largely depopulated, but with
in recent years attempts have been
made to mine the lower grade de-
pests of these old camps and with
the discovery of new lodes from
time to time the old camps may
again become important producers.
bulletin 594 contains an accurate
account of the early history and gen.
eral geology of the districts, with
detailed descriptions of many of the
mines and the occurrences and char
acter of the ore deposits. Many
types of ore deposits are described,
although in widely separated locali-
ties the deposits and geologic con-
ditions are similar. A copy of the
bulletin may be obtained on applica-
ton to the director, United States

MINE SIGNAL DEVICE.
New Apparatus Provides 4 Practically
f~oolproof Code,

New Apparatus Provides 4 Practically
Foolproof Code.
The signal systems of mines have
seen considerable improvement Of re-
cent years. The new Adnil English
device is an apparatus for use in mines
with audible and visual signals. 1t
provides a practically fUolproof code
Of signals for the hoists that convey
men and materials in and out of the
mines. writes an expert In the Engi-
peering and Mining Journal.
The signals are sent in the following
way: II a hoist signal is to be given
from any mine level the miner moves
the lever Of his instrument around I'M
til the pointer is over the required
signal-for instance. placing it yer
No. G. This has the effect Of placing
the pointers Of all the other instru-
ments, the engine excepted. upon
signal No. 6. At the same time the
acoustic signal is sounded at each
point six times. When ready for the
order to be carried out by the engine
man the man at the surface passes it
on to him by merely pressing q "carry
out" push: This causes the signal No.
6 to be recorded on the dial Of the
engine house receiver and the electric
horn or bell to sound six times. while
the pointers on all the other instru-
ments all come back to zero. The sig.
nal thus given remains on the eng1-
neer's instrument until a fresh signal
comes in.
Each instrument is provided with an
indicator to show the level from which
the order is being sent in. and by a
special contrivance it Is impossible for
q signal to be given from any other
point than the one indicated. This
renders mistakes or malicious interior
ence impossible, and there can never
be any doubt as to where each signal
Is sent from.
In case of pressing danger another
signal, differing in tone from the other
alarms, can be given by pressing an
emergency push. and this signal Is
sounded at the surface and in the en-
CINE room. The advantages claimed
for the new device are simplest and
quickest transmission from mine lev
els to surface. also the assurance thai
by a single pressure Of a push the
banksman transmits to the engineer
only the signal given from below.

NEW MILLING SYSTEM.

Il Marks . Great Advance In the Art
Of Cutting Metals.
Progress in the art of cutting metals
has been a slow advance with occa-
sional sudden, pronounced jumps, fol-
lowed by the same slow advance. One
such jump came in 1900 with the an
nouncement of the development Of high
speed steel.
Another jump has just occurred,
writes l.. P. Afford in the American
Machinist. A Cincinnati milling ma
chine company has developed a system
Of milling that permits of cutter feeds
and speeds some eight to twelve times
higher than those in ordinary practice.
Test cuts have been made in steel OF
carbon. O.5 manganese, at a peripheral
cutting speed Of 800 feet per minute.
Other cuts in the same material have
been made at a feed Of 112 inches q 1-3
feet) per minute. The feature Of the
system is the supply and control of the
lubricant, which is delivered in some
ten times greater quantity than is or
dinarily used The cutter is in q fow-
ing stream-hence stream lubrica.
ton" Experts in machine shop prac.
tee who have seen these tests have
unhesitatngly said that they fore.
shadow a tremendous advance in mill
ing practice.
