BELMONT AGAIN
COMING TO FRONT
HARRG G. STINLER TELLS OF
ACTIVITY IN THE FAMOUS
OLD CAMP


The rejuvenation OF the famous
old silver camp Of Belmont in Nye
county, about II miles northeast of
Manhattan, will be made complete
on the coming Fourth of July, for
on that day, unless present plans
miscarry, the ten~stamp mill being
erected on the old Monitor Belmont
Mining company property by Hugh
and George Nelson and their Los An
seleS associates will be placed in
commission with a celebration befit-
ting the occasion. Such is the in
formation brought to Goldfield by
Harry c. Stimler one of the early
mining operators of this district and
discoverer of the camp of Stimler,
- miles west of Goldfield. Mr..
Stimler has been identified with min
ing in practically all of the camps
of southern Nevada discovered in re-
cent years, but for the last year he
has confined his operations to Bel
mont, his birthplace. where he has
promising property.
MI. ollIllleT States the COllCTetc
foundation for the new Nelson mill
has been completed and that all the
machinery for the plant, including
ten 1850 pound stamps, has been
delivered on the ground or is in
TOnopah awaiting transportation to
the property. In addition to the
stamps and tube mill, the milling
method will include the oil flotation
process, which though, proven high
ly efficient in many states, has up
to the present time never been used
ia Nevada. Mr.. Stimler states that
he is informed that the erection of
the mill building will be started at
once. 1t will be constructed OF
brick obtained through the razing
of the old Combination mill built
more than 40 years ago by the orig
inal owners about a mile from the
mine. The old mill building covered
an area of two acres of land and was
erected at an enormous cost.

tary Howe stated, in his report. that

the property on the 1750-foot level
through the shaft and lateral work
ings OF the Goldfield Merger Mines
company. was followed during the
year of 1914. In conclusion. Mr.
Howe states:
Recently lease has been grant
cd to this company by the Goldfield
Consolidated Mines company on the
south half of the Grizzly Bear claim
of the latter company, below the
14OO-foot level. This will enable the
Atlanta Mines company, if neces-
safy, to follow the vein which it is
now developing into the Grizzly Bear
claim. There is no doubt that the
development of the Grizzly Bear
claim below the 1400-foot level can
be more economically and advanta-
g"ously accomplished through the
Atlanta workings. The terms of this
lease are advantageous to the Allan
ta company"

A. l. Darcy upon the operations of
the company in the last year follows:

claim in the Diamondfield section of
tie Goldfield district. 1t will be the
fourth shipment made by the com
pany within six weeks. The third lot
was sent out abont ten days ago. Re-
turns upon it, when received. are
expected to average around $40 per
ton. The first two shipments gave
returns of $45 per ton.
Miners are businly engaged at
present in extending in easterly and
westerly directions stope "a" on the
vein opened up some time ago by the
south crosscut from the shaft on the
!65-fOot level. In the eastern end
of the stope there is two and a half
feet of ore that averages around $50
per ton, while the western extremity
is yielding about foot and a half
of ore that ranges in value from $50
to $147 per ton, according to Gen
aral Superintendent John La Foe.
The west drift on the vein is now
out 225 seet from the crosscut from
the shaft. After passing through a
faulted area, about 80 feet in length
the drift is again advancing on the
vein in solid form and the face is
yielding values of from SO to $12
per ton. The drift will be extended
about rs feet farther and a south
crosscut will then be started into
the Gold Coin Extension claim to
intercept three known veins.
1t is announced that the Justice
company will soon begin the task of
unwatering the Daisy shaft from the
30O-foot level to the bottom-500
feet. A large pump has already
been delivered en- the ground and it
is expected that it will be placed in
commission in the shaft within the
next ten days or two weeks. When
the shaft is unwatered and repaired

EXTENSIVE WORK
ON GREAT BEND
PRESIDENT SPRAGUE SAYS MILL
WILL BE MADE LARGER
SOON

President Chas. S. Sprague of the
Goldfield Great Bend Mining COM
pany announced recently that the
company had succeeded in purchasing
the outstanding stock of the Dia-
mondfield Mining and Milling COM
pany, which has been operating on
the property lease that still ran for
about two and one-half years, and
that plans are at present being
mapped out for the resumption OF
operations by the parent company on
an extensive scale in the near fu-
ture. These plans, he stated, in
clude the enlargement of the les
sees mill from five to ten stamps.
The lessees recently made bullion
shipment, valued at about $500,
which represented a cleanup of a
run of dump ore. There are ex-
cellent ore showings on various lev
els of the property and it is the in
tention of the management to pro-
ceed with the fgurther development
of the ground as rapidly as possible.
In tie early days of Goldfield an
incline shaft was sunk to a depth of
500 feet and subsequently the LOTUS
Davis lease sank a vertical shaft to a
depth of 425 feet and connecting
laterals were run. On the old Dia-
dem lease a shaft was sunk to the
4OO-foot point near the eastern end
of the property, at which depth ship
ping ore was exposed. In all three
shafts there is considerable water at
present and it is the intention OF
the company to unwater them and
proceed with the work of opening up
the ore bodies in a comprehensive
and miner-like fashion.
The company is still in possession
of smelter receipts showing that the
Loftus-Davis lease produced large
tonnage of ore averaging from $40
to 500 per ton, and seams of ore
were found that assayed over 81 1000.
On three occasions the property las
made an excellent showing :
there was good promise of highly
profitable production, when COM
bination of water and financial diff
ficulties interrupted operations and
caused a shutdown.
1t is estimated that from 5000 to
5000 feet of development work has
been performed on the property, in
shafts, crosscuts, drifts and wines.
In a winze below the 35O-foOt level
of the Loftus-Davis shaft the best
showing in the property was devel-
oped and high-grade ore was brok-
en- at this point and was still in
sight when the workings We're flood

HERMAN zAO|G
GIVES HIS VIEWS
HE URGES MERGER STOCKHOLD-
ERS TO STAND BY MAJOR
ITY DIRECTORS

In commenting upon the Merger
receivership litigation in the current
issue of the market letter of his bro
kerage house in San Francisco, Her.
man Zadig, president of the Silver
Pick Consolidated Mines company of
Goldfield and who has large interests
throughout Nevada, says
During the month of March the
market in Goldfield and TonOpah
shares remained rather stationary,
prices not showing any great fluct-
uation during the whole month. This,
no doubt, has been due to the wait
j1g policy Of operators to see wheth-
er the stockholders meeting of the
Merger Mines company called by the
majority directors will approve the
actions of the majority directors sell
ing the Velvet claim to the Jumbo
Extension, and also the selling of the
1i1,O0O Jumbo Extension stock.
I'VE believe that the holdings of
the Wingfield-C Clark interests are
large enough to approve the actions
of the majority directors, without
the aid of any proxies from any out
side stockholders.
John Erikson sent out letter to
the stockholders of the Merger COM
pany explaining the reasons why they
should refrain from giving prories to
the Wingfield-Clar interests and to
give it to him. We don't believe
that many stockholders will send
their proxies to Mr.. Erikson; certain
" not if they know the real truth
as to the sale of the Velvet claim as
well as the Jumbo Extension stock
as we know it to be.
eve know positively that the sell
ing of the Velvet claim for $S5.
as we'll as the selling of the 10000
shares of stock, was as straight a
transaction as any that was ever
made in Goldfield or anywhere else.
