night from Nina, where he had been
for four days in the interest of the
now gold property 25 miles east of
there. He states that it is looking
very well and if the development
work being done on the property
continues to show the values that it
is showing now, it will make a good
mine.
Work is being crowded by two
shifts of men and everything is being
done to hasten the development. F.
J.. Siebert, a well known mining en-
gineer, is the man who has financed
the property and who Is personally

COPPER MINE WORK
SOON TO Be RESUMED
OVER MINERAL PRODUCTION
OUTPUT IN NEVADA

Frank ID. Qualey, who is interest.
ed in copper mine operations in Min
eral county, is a visitor to Reno. He
came here from Los Angeles, en-
route to the holdings of the Excelsior
Mountain Copper company beyond
Hawthorne.
He reports this property to be a
great mass of high grade copper ore.
proved through wines, drifts, cross
cuts and raises to a depth of 700
feet. This body reveals a large
amount of ore reducible at a profit
with proper reduction plants.
When the European war broke out
the Qualey properties were closed
down. The main purpose of Mr..
Qualey in making this visit is to
start the work anew.
He is planning installation of a
teaching plant to treat the ore. lie
is confident the market for copper
will be assertive at high prices for
a long time to come and and in con-
sequence, he and his associates Will
energetically press work to get their
property into producing shape.
Mr.. Qualey predicts the livest and
best mining movement the west has
enjoyed and in line with this step
forward, states that all enterprises
in America are making preparations
for an era of prosperity unparalleled
in recent history.
"My observations" he said, lead
me to believe that better times are
coming for east, west, north and
south. There is no aus for any,
thing but optimism Reno Jour

Commits Detestable Act

Two foreigners, a man and wo-
man, whose names are unknown and
who are unable to talk English. were
taken off a westbound train at Elko
on a charge of attempted infanticide.
According to facts in the case the
babe was born shortly after the train
left Ogden. The couple got off the
train at Montello but without the
child. A section foreman, track
walking, found the babe wrapped
in a woman's skirt and brought it to
Montello where the couple were ar
rested and taken to Elko. The babo
is said to have been thrown from
the car window while the train was
going at full speed. The child will
live but it is deemed a miracle.

PRINCE CON-. SHIPS
ORE OF HIGH GRADE

The first car load shipment of
high grade ore from the recen strike
in the Prince Consolidated mine, To-
Gated in the Phoebe mining district.
reached the local market yesterday,
according to the concerns manage
ment, and it is expected that ship
ments from the new ore body will
be sent put regularly from now on.
The strike was made recently in min
ing a bed of iron ore on the $50
sub-level between the third and
fourth levels, and the work of devel-
oping the new find is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible.
The property is in excellent condi-
ton, according to the management,
and is sending out iron ore at the
rate of 10000 tons a month. The
station has been cut at the 100 level
in the winze below the sixth level,
where it vas going down strong, and
for the purpose of reaching it at a
point 100 feet deeper the winze was
sunk.
The recent strike was made in the
main fault that trends toward the
northwest and southeast and which
dips to the west. 1t is the intention
of the management to prospect this
fault zone to a much greater extent
since the discovery of the high grade
ore in 1t.

LUDWIG TEACHING PLANT
WILL OPERATE in AUGUST

From the office of A. J. Orem &
Company is received the announce
ment that the teaching plant at Lud-
wig will probably begin treating ores
the second week in August. The
plant has been in the course of con-
structiOn about a year, employing
several dozen men at first, and grad
ually increasing the number until
now about 80 men are on the pay
roll.
1t is quite likely that the combined
forces Of men necessary to run the
mine and the teaching plant will be
larger than is at present in use, so
that the payroll will increase rather
than diminish with the production
era.-Mason Valley News.

CALIFORNIA HAS
BORAx MONOPOLY

The production of crude borate
materials in the United States in
1914 was 62,400 short tons, valued
at ~$1,464,400, as compared with S.
O51 short tons in 1918. valued at
~$1,491,53O. This is an increase In
quantity of IA per cent, according
to Charles H.. Gale of the United
States geological survey. All the
crude borate material now used in
this country is the mineral coleman
it's. The product during 1914 was
obtained from three mines, all in
southern and southeastern California,
the larger part coming, as usual,
from the Lima c mine of the Pacific
Coast Borax company in the noun
tains of the Death Valley region of
Inyo county. During the year this
company completed a calcining plant
at Death Valley Junction to roast
the lower grade ores before shipping
them to New Jersey to be refined. 1t
also completed a narrow gauge rail-
Grad from the Tonopah & Tidewater
railroad at Death Valley Junction to
the Biddy Mccarthy and Monte
Blanco mines of the company in the
Furnace Creek region, which have
not yet been operated.
The Sterling Borax company, near
the border of Los Angeles county,
was second in production. Two
grades of ore are mined and are
roasted to remove impurities. On
calcination the colemanite content
of the ore is dehydrated and be-
comes a fine powder.
The Stauffer Chemical company of
San Francisco, which was once in
terested in the borax mines at Lang.
has obtained a controlling interest
in the holdings of the Russell Bor-
ate company in the Ventura district.
This company hauls the ore 81
miles to aril to ship it to San
Francisco for refining. The season
is limited to about seven months in
the year on account of heavy roads
in winter.
A 40-foot deposit of colemanite is
reported to have been discovered at
a depth of $40 feet by ranchmen
drilling for water about four miles
from Rich Station, in the Kramer
district, San Bernardino county,
California.
Chile and the United States lead
the industry with approximately
equal output of bo~rates, or boric
acid and borax, each producing in
round numbers about 10000 to So
600 metric tons of crude ores, main
ly calcium borates. Turkey prob
ably stands third in rank of produc-
ton, with a reported average pro-
duction of $1,000 tons reported as
boracite; and Peru, Bolivia, Italy
Argentine and India are also pro-
ducers.
The price of Borax crystals is
quoted at 81 to 4 cents a pound,
though it rose to w to Az at the
very close of the year. The price
of boric acid crystals, which is nor
mally 7 to 7R cents a pound, adj
vanced to IN to SR cents at the
close of the year. The tying up of
some foreign sources of supply, as,
for instance, the mines on the Sea
OF Marmora, and the interruption of
foreign business has created some
what larger demand for the Ameri-
can products, and a slight rise in
price may be expected.
