The Nevada state mining labOra-
tory was established by an act of
the legislature Of March 16, 1895,
to provide a method by which the
citizens of Nevada might have ores,
minerals, soils and waters taken
from within the boundaries of the
state analyzed free of charge. The
original law specifically stated that
assays for gold and silver should not
be made, but a. later act, under date
of March 16, 1897, called for the
state mining laboratory to make
such assays, but to report only
whether the sample contained more
or less than IS in gold or in silver.
The laboratory is run in connec-
ton with the MacKay school of
mines under the direction of Pro-
lessor Lincoln. Most of the analy-
tical work is performed by Assist
ant Professor Palmer, while the
rocks and some of the minerals are
determined by Professor Jones. The
work of the mining laboratory has
been of the greatest assistance to
the people of Nevada and is con-
~stantly growing as more of them be-
come acquainted with 1t. Thus, dur
ing the first five years, only a little
over 100 persons sent in samples,
whereas during the last five the
number of people sending in samples
has amounted to over 1900.
The work would be still more
valuable if it were performed upon
carefully taken and prepared sam
pies instead Of being done, as is us
ually the case, on one or two places.
Material in this condition does not
really constitute a sample, but is
simply a specimen, and as such will
differ very materially in value from
a carefully taken sample. Indeed, II
a single piece is broken in two and
the two halves are assayed separate
ly, the results are almo"' certain to

NEVADA STATE MINING LABORATORY

be widely disprOportiOnate. In or
der to get the full benefit of the
work of the state laboratory, pros
pectors should take large samples
representative of their ore and crush
and quarter them down, sending
finally a good sized sack Of fine ma
terial for determination. All the
valuable metals, including gold,
silver, lead, copper and zinc, are
quantatively determined, but the
gold and silver are reported only
as stated above, whereas the other
metals r given exactly in percent
ages. In ase special requests are
the determination of metals, the lab
oratory usually performs this
work, but the right is reserved to
decide upon how extensive a chemi-
Cal examination is necessary to de-
termine whether the material is OF
value or not. If this were not done
1t would frequently be necessary for
the state to expend considerable sums
of money making cumulative analy-
SEES of worthless material. No rea-
sonable requests are, however, re-
fused, and where there is any ques-
ton as to the possible value of the
material, the samples are always
analysed.
When the prospector desires a re-
port on a rock or mineral, it is bet
ter to send the substance in the
shape of specimens rather than sam
pies. These specimens should be as
fresh and unaltered character as
possible. as it is much more difficult
to determine rocks and minerals
when they are partially decomposed.
Those connected with the laboratory
hope that in future not only will
the number of samples SEN in in
crease, but also that greater car
will be exercised in their selection
and preparation.

THIRTY.EIGHT CARLOADS
OF MINING EQUIPMENT

Thirty-eight carloads of mine and
mill equipment will arrive in Tono-
pah during the next few weeks for
shipment to outside camps. The
first to reach this depot will be a
mill for the Monitor Belmont Min
ing and Milling company at Belmont.
1t will be a 5OO-ton shipment. Man
ager Smith left for the Belmont pro-
perty yesterday.
The next, which will arrive not
later than February 1, will be TWEEN
ty-five carloads of pipe for the
Round Mountain Mining company.
This pipe will be fifteen inches in
diameter and will be used to cOn-
duct water from Jet canyon in the
Toiyabes across Smoky valley to the
Toquima side, where the property is
situated. he pipe will be of heavy
power resistance, as it will have a
1900 foot head at the point of en-
try and will be in the form of an
inverted siphon in order to reach the
property at it's elevation.
AS all this machinery, together
with small shipments which have
been ordered, but are not yet Off
cially announced will be forwarded
from Tonopah by auto truck and
heavy teams, the freighting business
for early spring from this point
promises to be Observation-Disclosures
