BEATING THE GAME

TONS ARE EVADED BY THE
DUTCH TRADERS

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20.-Dutch
newspapers have recently been turn

traffic which is alleged to be FUR
nishing Germany with many commo-
dities which she needs. According
to the TELEGRAPH, there is little act
ual violation of the letter of the
Dutch regulations regarding contra

skilful evasion which is proving very
profitable to the Dutch trader.
Fats and oils are c~ontraband, and
offer difficulties to the smugglc-,
but margarine and soap are in the
list of allowed exports. A cartoon
in the TELEGRAPH shows an endless
train Of wagons winding along u
country road towards the frontier,
each wagon loaded with cases LABEL
ed margarine and soap, and a note
underneath the picture reads, Fats
and oils are contraband, but mar

A correspondent writing from
Bergen OPP Zoom, which is one Of
the most convenient points for ex-

DISTRICT WITH TUNGSTEN DEPOSITS
COUNTS AL MYERS AMONG LOCATORS

From present indications and FROM
working tests in the tungsten prop
critics of eastern White Pine coun-
ty, that section is now entering al
era of great prosperity, which prom
ises to make a number of prospect
ors and owners wealthy mining oper-
ators within the very near future.
1t has long been known that ores
carrying tungsten existed in the
Snake range, but owing to its long
distance from transportation and the
low price of the product until the
war came on, the few pioneers in
that industry did not meet with pro-
nounced success in their enterprises.
However since the European war
the various products of tungsten
have doubled in value several times
until al present tungsten ores. even
of a very low grade will rival the best
gold mines in earning.
The properties of the United
States Tungsten corporation, about
30 miles south of Osceola, where
extensive developments were made
several years ago, and a. small plant
erected, from which concentrates
were then shipped but owing to the
low price of the product and the high
cost of operation, the enterprise did
not prove a financial success Some
months age the company, which is
said to be controlled by the Tono-
pah Mining company. resumed oper-
ations and has since then gradual
ly increased it's force until it is now
employing between so and 80 men,
and is steadily shipping concentrates
which are said to yield handsome
profits.
About three years ago John Til
ford and associates discovered tung-
stem ores on their properties at 30
nita, on the eastern side of the
range, and did considerable develop
ment work. This was followed by
the shipment of concentrates pro-
duced in a very crude plant, which
were hauled to Newhouse, Utah, a
distance of nearly 100 miles by wag-
on and from there shipped east by
rail. Even under this tremendous
handicap, there appeared to be a
good margin of profit in the bust
ness, but the partners failed to
agree in business matters and the
property remained idle until the
present year, when Mr.. Tilford
bought his partners out, and soon
after that secured California capital
to aid him in the enterprise. Since
that time a considerable tonnage Of
high grade ore has been developed,
and the concentrating plant largely
increased, with the result hat the
enterprise is on a paying basis.

THOMPSON SHELTER
WILL Be BLOWN IN
PLANT NEAR YERINGTON TO RE-
SUME AFTER IDLENESS OF
MANY MONTHS

The Thompson smelter together
with the 100-ton teaching plant De-
longing to the Mason Valley Mines
company will start on Dec. 1, accord
irg to a statement made by George
Hummer, manager for the Yeringtou
Telephone company to the Reno Ca
zette. Mr.. Plummer says that, while
announcement has not been
made. it is generally understood
from information coming from au-
,horitative sources that the plant will
resume operations IN that date, IN
pIoying about 100 men,.
The smelter has been idle about
is months and, while the Of
it's closing down never was announc-
ed. Mr.. Plummer says the general
belief in the Yerington district is that
an option was held on the property
by the G~ugenheims, which was the
real reason. Since the smelter
closed, mines in the Yerington dis
trict have been idle with the excep-
ton of the Acknowledgment, and
several leases on the Empire Nevada

Salt Lake City.
Mr.. Plummer says Lyon county
farmers had wonderful crops this
year. He states that 100000 worth
of alfalfa seed and $125,000 worth
of potatoes have been shipped out of
Lyon county this season. In addi-
ton to this, all the hay, together
with all the old hay on hand, has
been disposed of. Cattle and sheep
also are being shipped into the val
ley for the winter, particularly beef
cattle and sheep. The grain crop also
was unusually heavy in the county
this year.

Last summer the Doyle Mining
company of Osceola was incorpora-
ted to take over property formerly
owned by a company operating at
Sacramento Pass which had failed
to make good in mining for gold.
This company is also backed By
California capital and for some tune
past has been employing a consid-
cradle force of men in taking out
tungsten ore of a good grade.
Recently AL d.. Meyers, n of the
best known mining men in Nevada,
who was a prominent figure in the
early days of Goldfield, Charles
Gaby, X. C. Davis and VIM. Stewart,
of Ely, discovered and located 4
group of claims about six miles
south of Osceola which shows schee-
lite ore in more than 20 places, and
which has been found for a distance
of 1900 feet along one ledge. They
have had a number of assays made,
and are more than well pleased with
results. They are Developing their
holdings as rapidly as possible, and
from present indications it would ap-
pear that they have opened a new
camp of great and wonderful pos
sibilities. Some of their ore is said
to run as high at 81 per pound, but
these are picked samples, but they
are an indication of what may be ex-
pected by further development.
In this same locality Alex Baird
and Fl. c. F.. Brown and Baird broth
ers have secured locations upon
which scheelite has been found, but
so far little work has been done Ut
the property.
Boone Tilford, one of the pioneer
placer miners of Hogum gulch, has
located an old and abandoned mine
at the head of Marion canyon, upon
the dump of which is said to be n
large tonnage of scheelite ore, which
he is now sorting for shipment.

miners, have also located the Pilot

contain scheelite running from two

on the property 400 feet in length,
which is said to show more or less
scheelite for it's entire length.
1t is also street talk that the Sec

claim, belonging to the Stahl broth
ers at Masonic, is said to be % feet
wide with values running from $500
to $4,000. No drifting has been done

Another vein on the 160 level, to
the south of the shaft, that was dis
covered in 1918, is s feet wide and
shows values from $50 to $160, and
is now being drifted on.
Large contracts for mining tim
bers have been let to the Bodie Lun,-
Der company, and in addition large
contracts for mining timbers have
been arranged for, to be cut from

MTRE DEPOSITS NEAR
WfsTGATt PROMISING
OPEN UP MINERAL THAT
Is VALUABLE

Joseph +. Geisler, who for 50
years has been chemist of the de-
pertinent of agriculture in the state
of New York, is here looking after
the testing out of a nitre deposit, six
miles south of Westgate, about 5S
miles from Fallon, says the Church
ill County Eagle. He was here IN
August and took samples from the
property, returning to New York to
make his analysis.
This week he came back and put
half a dozen men to work in order
to make a thorough test at depth. A
large ledge of rock projects out from
a hill and carries a large percentage
cf nitre. Mr.. Geisler proposes to get
down beneath this ledge and e ii
the mineral goes down in the de-
post. Within 10 days he expects
to determine the question as whether
It will pay to work, and If it will,
quite an enterprise may be started
in the east end of the county.
Needless to say, Mr.. Geisler has
lad wide experience in dealing with
the mineral stored in natures lab
oratory, and he remarked that he
would like to spend three months in
the hills and flats of this country
making tests for chemicals that have
heretofore been supplied in European
countries now at a Incidentally,
