CONTACT FLOTATION
MILL SITE SETTLED

Location of the flotation plant
for the Nevada Copper Mining COM
pany for several days has been a
much-discussed question in and
about Contact and considerable inter-
est has been evinced in the matter
from all sides, says the Contact Min
er. The plant will be built near
the Mammoth and New York proper
ties, this location having been found
most feasible for the present needs
of the company. 1T is these proper
ties upon which most work so far
has been done and it is these proper
ties that will produce the first ore
that the mill will treat, according to
present plans.
Announcement was made by H.
Smith, general manager, that the
Diesel engine, recently purchased,
with which power will be generated
for the operation of the company's
plants, city lighting, etc, will be
located below town, and it's installa-
ton will begin as 20 as same al
he made and delivered upon the
ground.

LAKE CAPITALISTS
TO BUY WHALE GROUP

A syndicate of Salt Lake capital
lists has been formed to purchase the
Whale group of claims near Good
Springs, New. The group is owned
by Frank TauEsick and Frank Miller
while T. A. Warden of Good Springs
holds a small interest. The price
set on the claims is $4,000 and the
new wner plan to begin at once
the driving of a tunnel to determine
the strike of the ore. Machinery for
this work will be sem to the mine
at once, according to those who are
interested.
The trustees for the syndicate are
G. w. Whitley of the American

HIGH GRADE FOUND ON
THE LITTLE BROWN HILL

In the past week most encourag-
ing developments have taken place
on the Little Brown Hill. Continued
prospecting oven the big ledge was
finally rewarded by picking up a
pocket of the high grade that marks
the Carrara Gold Mining company.
from which rich paintings have been
made. On 1.-The Little Brown Hill
the rich ore is found to be OF the
same general type as on the mother
ledge, across the gulch, and all in
dications point to a continuance or
the ore, from now on, in much the
same form as on the old Baltzer
place. where the rich pockets are
picked up every few feet.
In addition to the high grade
found. the low grade bodies appear
to be holding their own we'll. But
little improvement is necessary for
these bodies to enter into low grade

LUNING SHIPPING ORE

M. r. Rowland, a mining man of
Luning, who was at one time con-
nected with one of the foremost of
the Tonopah mines, was in Haw-
thorne last week. He is authority
fer the statement that the old camp
of Luning will oon take its place
as one of the big producing camps of
the state. Two arr of ore a day are
now being shipped from the camp
and it is expected that this will be
doubled within 80 days. New prop
critics, as we'll as old ones which
have been idle on account of the low
nrice of copper, are being opened up,
bringing more business to the mer-
chants and an air of prosperity is ap-
parent throughout the camp.-Haw-

city and this will be turned over to
the public.
A similar movement has been
started in Seattle, Cleveland, st.
Paul and other cities.
A California newspaper says:
"War-stricken Europe would to-
day be starving were it not for the
wonderful knowledge of gardening
possessed by its people, who can
make a few acres yield enough to
keep a family in food for a year.
THE soil of America, wen that of
American cities, is better than that
of Europe and it can be made still
better by work and fertilization"
With a little garden on every waste
lot, a big municipal garden on the
waste acres owned by the city and a
fair-sized garden in every suburban
back yard. there would be little dan
ger of poverty in any American city.

RESUME OF WEEKS OPERATIONS
IN Mines OF COMSTOCK LODE

off the top of the caveins in the
east drift, for the purpose of aiding
in the drainage and ventilation.
The Yellow Jacket mill Turing
the past week received SAC tons of
dump rock and 1913 tons of mine rock
and at the surface, $40 tons of mine
rock were shipped to the glory hole
from the shaft. On the 1900 level of
the Crown Point, from last crosscut
No. 1, 50 cars of fill were drawn out.
The Belcher south drift on the 1900
level was extended to the 12S-foot
point, with no change reported. Re-
pairs are being made on the 400
level, and at the joint incline, furth-
er repairs were made between the
400 and 1900 levels. The prospect
ing drift on the 1900 level of the
Jacket was advanced to the 70-foot
point.
The Overman on the 1900 level,
az the 60-foot point in the raise from
the east crosscut, advanced the west
rrosscut to the 15-foot point, the
face being all in low grade quartz.
Conditions here continue favorable.

NEW COMPANY WILL
BEGIN OPERATIONS

A new company was incorporated
this week in the Rochester district
under the name of the Packard
North Elk. Mining company, with T.
P. Ebert as president and J. w. Kro-
mer secretary, who with M. Walser
and F. Margrave form the director
ate. Capital stock, $1,000, 600.
This company has purchased the
holdings of Hargett and van Dine.
consisting of two fractions, or %
acres in all. The ground end lines
the Nevada Packard company prop
erty to the north and is believed to
cover the extensions of their en-
tire vein system.
The ground has been opened up
by a shaft to a depth of 25 feet
averaging at that point about $15,
with assays running to 500, mostly
in silver. The formation is similar
to the Packard.
Work will probably be started by
the new company on a lower parai
lei vein to the west, the float frolr
which indicates commercial values
for a distance of several hundred
feet, with the principal values IN
gold. = Lovelock Miner.

GOLDFTELD BAND SOON 10
BLOSSOM FORTH AGAIN

After an idleness OF severai
months the GOldfield band is about
to blossom forth again and render
selections to the music-hungry ears
Of the populace. Under the manage
ment of o. c. Mallon, OF the office
force of the Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad, the gloom dispellers were
organized a couple of weeks ago.
since which time they have been
practicing regularly under the direc
tion of Chris Nelson, who arrived IN
Goldfeld recently with some II
years of experience in such work be-
hind him. Mr.. Nelson is confident
that a good band can be ecured
from the local talent. Nearly all or
the music vendors are employed IN
the mines and about town and havo
entered into the plan with great en-
thusiasm. 1t will not be long un'
til the quiet ewening air of Goldfield
will be punctured with welcome
melodious blasts.

WHITE CAPS MINING
COMPANY IS FORMED

A special meeting of the Dexter
White Caps Mining company, a
Manhattan corporation, was hell
yesterday afternoon and last eve
ming. 1T was a called meeting of
shareholders to act upon a plan of
reorganization. Action was practi-
cally unanimous, 6O5,S14 shares be-
ing in favor of the plan and only
103 against.
The old corporation will be dis
solved and a new n formed, to be
known as the White Caps Mining
company. 1t will be incorporated
under the laws of Nevada and the
stock will be assessable. The new
company will have a capitalization
of 100000 shares and will be trad
ed in share for share, which will
leave a considerable amount in the
treasury for sale at a future time.
1t is not, however, the intention of
the new company to offer any at
present. but will, instead, levy an as
sessment, probably of 1 " cents a
share, the money thus received to be
devoted to paying the Indebtedness
of the old company and providing
fer working capital for evelopment
The company has large
reserves of ore and it is given out
hat the problem of successful re-
duction has been solved.-Bonanza.

CALIFORNIA TO
PRODUCE POTASH
AMERICAN TRONA CORPORATION
TO OPERATE AT
SEARLES LAKE

The San Francisco Chronicle says:
The production of potash in largo
quantities in California will ne under
way by the first of mex year, sccord-
ing to the announcement of & direct
or of the American Trona corporation
in this city yesterday. TIE corpor-
atlcn is the owner Of a ,arg number
of claims in Searles lake. This dis
trict has been the scene Of many
stirring encounters during the last
two years and the subject of much
litigation.
The company has established its
ownership of most rf the claims and
has options and counter claims on
the few others still in litigation.
Yesterdays announcement is OF
special interest on account of the $50
lation of the German potash supply
from the American market and the
threatened potash famine in the
United States. 1t is the first infor.
nation the American Trona corror-
alton has given out regarding its
operations since entering the Searles
lake district.
For over a year." said the direct
or of the company, "the Trona r
poratoin has been carrying on expert
mental work in reference to its
processes, and to that end has con-
structed a small experimental station
at Searles lake. 1t has also been do
ing experimental work with the brine
of Searles lake. This experimental
work has now been carried to a sue
cessful conclusion.
ct is the intention of the COM
pany to start the erection of it's per-
manent plant this fall and unless
something unforeseen happens, II will
be producing and marketing potash
and the by-products of Searles lake
by the beginning of next year.
1.-THE legal proceedings hat have
centered around Searles lake iecently
has not affected the company's plans
in any way"
When running at full force. the
company will be pumping 2 600 600
gallons of brine a day from. which
will be extracted approximately 2OO,-
600 tons of potash, besides large
quantities of soda ash and borax. 1t
was pointed out that the production
of California potash would greatly
relieve the American situation.
The amount imported prior to the
beginning of the European war ap-
proximated 100000 tons, nearly all
of which was obtained from Ger
many. The uses of potash are grad
uallv increasing. The Trona company
directors say hat after normal con-
ditions we're restored the United
States would probably consume as
much German potash as befAr4, but
the local product will serve to break
the absolute monopoly and maintain a
fair price.
The Searles lake plant will he the
first potash plant of any consequence
in the United States. Some potash
ie now being made in southern a
ifornia from kelp and officials OF the
federal government have stated they
expect the production to reach large
figures in the ear future. which,
nth the Searles lake industry. Will
make California one of the greatest
potash producing districts CT tne
world.

GOLD STRIKE REPORTED
FROM OSCEOLA DISTRICT

B. Tilford and r. States came over
from OsceOla yesterday in the lat
ter's car. Tilford states that a gold
strike which may develop into some
thing of considerable Importance was
made a short time ago on the point
of the mountain about two miles east
of Osceola by a prospectOr named
Hanson. The strike was of quartz
and placer gold and while nc contin-
uous vein has been discovered as yet
considerable amounts of quartz have
been found in detached masses. The
strike is Immediately above the loca-
ton of some of the old placer dig
gings and it is thought that Hanson
may be on the track of the long
sought source of placer gold. which
made Osceola a flourishing camp in
years gone by.-Ely Record.

Owing to the rolling nature of the
surface in the upper part of the bor-
ough of Manhattan, New York City,
there are places where the Broad
way subway" is really an "elevat-
ed" and one must ride in an escala-
tor to reach the station platform.
From the vantage point of one of
these elevated subway stations can
be seen another apparent c%ontradic-
ton in terms-a garden plot in a
great city.
There, in a triangular piece of
ground formed by the coming togeth-
err of three streets, is a little house
and garden entirely shut out from
the p~assers-by in the streets by the
high billboards enclosing the place
on all three sides.
For both economical and esthetic
reasons. there ought to be many
more such garden spots in New
YORK ana every OtneT city.
1t is estimated that $4,000 was
realized from the crops raised on
vacant lots within the city of Phil
adelphia last year.
There are few cities in the United
States that cover the immense area
that Philadelphia does. but there are
none without some vacant land that
could and should be used for a SINH
lar purpose.
Even in the biggest and most
crowded cities, like New York and
Chicago, there is a considerable acre
age of land not under cultivation.
And Kitchen " gardens have be-
come a reality in Chicago. Mrs.
L~eorora Il. Meder, commissioner of
public welfare, opened a five-acre
tract It East One Hundred and Tenth
street and Indiana e n and a
thirty-acre tract at East One Hun

Fifty men were awarded plots in
the five-acre area and in the larger
tract sixty men and their families
will till the soil.
