STINILER'S SHAFT IN ORE


c. w. Taylor and w. e. Marsh,
who accompanied Harry Stimler TO
Belmont Tuesday to view his mining
property there, returned very enthu-
siastic over the outlook. They re-
port that the entire bottom of the
shaft is now in ore of shipping

This property is almost in the CEN
ter of the old town and the ledge
crops boldly, but on the surface It
does not have a very promising ap-
p%earance and has been known as the
bull quartz ledge. 1t is included IN

Der of years. After his death the

purchased the ground. He is now

lions on the 9O-foot level and has a

HARRY STIMLER STRIKES
RICH ORE AT BELMONT

C.. w. Taylor has returned from
Belmont, where he went to inspect
the recent strike made by Harry
Stimler. The property is situated
almost in the center of the camp
and is making a splendid showing.
Mr.. Stimler has sunk 20 feet, in
Ginning on the ledge, from which
point he has drifted both east and
west 25 feet in one direction and so
feet in the other.
He has 20 tons of rich ore out
ready for shipment to the Western
Ore Purchasing company and about
so tons of lower value, which will
be worked in the Monitor Belmont
mill. The shaft is still being con-
tinued down below the drift level
and the entire bottom is in ore. The
values on an average run 3S4 ounces
silver, 2 e cent lead and 2 per
cent copper, with small gold values.
Some of the ore runs well up into
the thousands of dollars, being a SOL

MANY MEN WORKING IN
OSCEOLA TUNGSTEN MINES

The tungsten strike made recently
at Osceola, SO miles east of Ely, is
of capital Importance, according TO
Senator Jake Fulmer of White
Pine county, who is here from Ely
for a business visit of several days.
There are 200 men working at
OsceOla now" said Senator Fulmer,
practically all of them being en-
ployed in the production of tungsten
ores, and according to excellent au-
thorities who have investigated the
camp, and especially the new strike,
this camp is destined to become an
important figure in the mining dis
tricts Of Nevada.
THE new strike d~iscloses tung-
stem in bull quartz, the same fOrma-
ton in the working properties, and
it is attracting attention from some
of the largest mining operators in
the west"
The Ely copper district is more
active than at any period in it's
history, the senator says. Reno

WINGFIELD APPOINTS NEW
MANAGER OF STOCK FARM

George Berry, for several years
manager of the A. B. Spreckles Napa
stock farm has taken charge OF Inc
Nevada stock farm on the south Vir-
ginia road, replacing M. G.. GULL
Jams, superintendent of the Wing
field interests since the farm vas
started three years ago.
1t is understood that Mr.. Wing
field, who is now in San Francisco,
appointed Berry head of the stock
farm late last week and he assum-
ed charge yesterday. Mr.. Berry is
considered one of the best all
round horsemen on the coast,
knowing trotting as well as other
thoroughbred horses.
Before assuming the management
of the Spreckles farm over 10 years
ago he was superintendent of the
Ingleside track in San Francisco
when racing was at its best in Cali

PLATINUM FLUCTUATIONS

Probably no n etal has experienced
more fluctuation in price, unless 1t
he silver, than has platinum. In
1874 it was worth Sc or 81 per
ounce. In 1898 between $40 and
$40. In 1907 it's price averaged $3h.
Though it fell to less than $50 in
1908, probably through lack OF
commercial demands, it has almost
steadily risen and has now reached
the highest point in it's history, be-
ing quoted at from $55 to $50 per
ounce. The limited distribution and
the almost steady increase in its
demand during a long term of years
give every assurance that its value
will not seriously ~depreciate.
The cost of working platinum is
far greater than that of working
gold. However, the proportion OF
cost in relation to the value of the
metal is so much less that the fin
ished jewel will possess a far greater
percentage of metal value than II
made of gold.-Mining World.

DISCOVERY Of GOLD
ACCUSING INTEREST
MINING MEN FROM NORTHERN
TOWN VISIT MEN STRIKE
NEAR NINA

j. II. Walsh and A. N. Bradshaw,
mining men from Mineral county,
arrived in Reno from Nina last
night. They had several specimens
of ore from the new gold strike, IL
miles west of Nina, and are n
thusiastic ABOUT the mining outlook
in the county.
In speaking of the new find Mr..
Wash said 1.-The property on which
the find was located about two
weeks ago by prospectors from Nina
and has not been developed to any
extent. Surface showings indicate
that the ore is permanent and of
the highest grade. The locators
have been offered $4,000 for a Co
day option on the ground but want
$4,000. They are pushing devel-
opment work and l expect to see a
large rush into the district when the
extent of the orebody is uncovered.
THE tungsten properties at Soda
Vile are attracting a great deal OF
attention and about 60 men are now
employed in the mine and hauling
the ore to the railroad. c. T.. Nobel,
discoverer of the mine, sold his in
terests to the Atkins-Kroll company
of San Francisco. They are en-
ploying two 10-horse teams trans
porting the ore to Sodaville and are
preparing to remodel a mill at Lun-
ing to handle the output of the mine.
The copper properties near Lun-
ing are assuming large proportions.
Over 5000 tons of copper ore has
been shipped from New York can
yon in the past eight months, and
with the expected advance to 20
cents the product will be greatly in
creased. This ore will run about Z
per cent copper and about half the
output of the district has been talk
en- from the Mayflower mine. Fifty
horses are employed in hauling the
ore from the mines to the railroad
at Luning."-Reno Gazette.

ore brought down from the new dis
covery is said to be rich, running
as high as so to 60 per cent. They
now have a small force of men GIN
ployed and are taking out ore 4
developing the property. The ore
will be packed down on mules and

the strike was made, 1t is probable
that no extensive development will
BE undertaken before spring..-Re-
