LARGE TONNAGE OR ORE BEING
MINED AND OPERATORS
MAKING PROFITS

Thu Yellow Pine district In Clark
county. Nevada, IS now undergoing
the most prosperous period in us
history and ore shipments are con-
tinuing with increasing volume.
Nearly every prospect in the district
is now being developed and trans
portatio,, facilities are taxed to the
utmost to convey the ore to the rail-
road, says the Mining Review.
The yellow Pine Mining company
is maintaining 4 monthly tonnage
of 1900 tons of zinc ores and zoo
tons of lead concentrate, mill and
mine operating two shifts. Two lii
ferent orebodies. carrying high lead
and zinc values, have been discov-
cred on the 500 level of the mine,
and a cross-cut from the 900 level
is being driven to intersect these
veins. A dividend of seven cents
per share, amounting to a total of
$4,000 was paid Nov. 10, brig
ing the total amount of dividends
paid during the current year to
$500, 600. 1t is expected that a di-
vidend of 10 cents per share will
be declared during December.
The new dry concentrating plant
at the Anchor mine began operation
of Nov. Is. and is now handling 40
tons per day. The ore is a car
Donate of lead and zinc, and Steb-
bins dry concentrating tables are
used. The mill also has a special ar
rangement for taking care OF the
dust. which has been a disadvantage
in other mills of this type. The
Bullion mill, in the same vicinity and
built on similar lines, continues a
very successful operation.
The Potosi mine, at the north end
of the district, is shipping about 900
tons of zinc carbonate ore per month
most of it's production being roast
ed materials from their calcining
plant. The ore is hauled to Arden
by five Sauer motor trucks.
The Green Monster mine is ship
ping about 500 tons monthly Of car
Donate ore, and a like amount is
being shipped from the Mobile, the
ore from these properties being haul
ed to Jean by trucks. The Bonanza
has adopted a leasing system for
mining ore and is shipping about
$50 tons per month.
At the Sultan, owned by Henry
Robbins, a Acton concentrating
plant is being erected, and it is ex-
GRAFTON before Dec. 1. In the mean
time, the property is shipping about
$50 tons per month of clean zinc
carbonate ore.
The Christmas Con. Mines COM
pany has recently been incorporated
to operate several groups of claims
in the vicinity of Little Devel noun
tain, formerly owned by Doran e
Jensen. A considerable tonnage of
lead, zinc and silver ore has been
shipped from these properties, and a
large tonnage of mill ore is devel-
Oped. 1t is the intention to contin-
lie development with the intention
of later erecting a wet concentrating
plant. Vanadium ore of h%igh-grade
was recently discovered on one of
the groups belonging to this COM
pany, and it is expected hat a. ship
ment will be made in the neal flu
ture.
The dumps at the Kirby mine have
been leased by F. C. O'Kelly, who
is concentrating the material in the
Frederickson mill, which is also
handling the product of the Freder-
ickson property.
Other properties in the district
that are now producing are the Mon
tie Christie, New Year, Palace & Por-
ter. Bill Nye, Whale and Moon &
Shenandoah. Development is also
in progress at several other prop
critics, from which occasional ship
ments of ore are made.
