Charles d. Kaeding, consulting en-
glneer for Capt. Delamar, arrived
in Reno Tuesday and Immediately
started a force of men to the Blue
stone mine in the Mason Valley dis
trict to hasten the work of prepar-
ing for a production of 1000 to
1900 tons per day, which Delamar
has contracted to deliver to the
Mason Valley smelter at Thompson.
He brought with him from Porcu-
pine in Canada several trusted en-
pioyes, among them Tom Mcnamara,
formerly connected with the Con-
solidated at Goldfield, who will be
superintendent of the mine.
The Bluestone is one of the big
mines of the Mason Valley district
in the matter of ore developed. Mr..
Kaeding states that the mine has
been sampled repeatedly by would
he purchasers as we'll as by the own
crs' engineers, and is known to cor
tain 100000 tons of ore that is
blocked out and ready for extrac-
ton. The ore all lies above the
main tunnel and can be mined very
cheaply. The first work to be done
is to build a tramway and two miles
OF railroad to connect with the Cop
per Belt railroad. which runs from
the Nevada Doulgass company's
mines to the smelter at Thompson.
Work already has been started
on the railroad, which is to be
standard gagged and equipped with
standard self-dumping gondola airs.
1t will have rather a steep grade and
will use a Heisler cog-wheel loco
r%,otive, which has been purchased.
From the portal of the tunnel track
will be laid for a tramway 1909
feet long to the terminus of the rail
road where huge orebins will be
built. Electricity will provide the
motive power for the tram, which
will connect in the tunnel with ore

RAWHIDE NOW
MAKING GOOD

M. Scheline, James M. Boyd, and
J. B. O'Sullivan, who have been to
Rawhide to look over the property
Of the Nevada New Mines company,
passed through Yerington yesterday
on their return to Reno. They re-
port that the property of the COM
pany is looking very fine indeed. A
winze has been sunk from the 900
foot level to a point which makes
the total depth of the workings
1913 feet.
At the bottom of this winze the
vein which they have been follow
ing from the surface shows a body
of high-grade ore 16 inches in
ldth, in place. The ore-shoot, go
Ning as it does from the surface to
great depth without a break, is
taken as a sure indication that they
are on a genuine fissure vein and
hat the ore-body will prove to be
permanent. This orebody is not
the celebrated free gold ore which
made the camp famous, but is rich
in both gold and silver.
In some specimens which the
party brought with them native sill
yer was visible, as we'll as streaks
O.; silver sulphide. This develop
ment would seem to indicate that
tho once famous free gold camp is
going to become a permanent sill

The company has for some time
been milling about 25 tons of ore
daily at the Black Eagle mill, and
the results have proved very salts

The Cyanide property, under man
5gement of J. B. McNaughton, is
sending forward "a shII ment of IRE
that will run around 500 per ton
this week. The teams have been
hauling for the past two days and
the ore comes from the 800 Level.
A. C. Grossman of San Francisco
las taken a working bond on the
Murray & Paroni property at Secret
Canyon, and will start work at once.
Mr.. Grossman plans to carry out
some development at the property,
and will timber the old Page & Cor
win shaft, famous in early days for
it's output of rich ore, and sink to
or beyond the 200-level before the
holidays.
Sinking the new shaft at the Dun
derberg property, under manage
ment of Major H. G.. ,Catlin, is
proceeding very satisfactorily. The
double compartment is being driven
downward at the rate of six feet
per day with one shift working, and
next week the force will be doubled
and a night shift added. The work
Is being done with 'jackhammers'
ard six foot holes are made each
round.
The new hoist is working very
satisfactorily, and the camp presents
a very lively appearance.
The shipment of bismuth ore is
now being hauled to the depot, re-

TO MILL

Superintendent Walter Techow
states that plans have been made
ard will be carried into effect at
once to install a new equipment OF
concentrators at the Kinkead mill
to replace those in use for several
years. This change will make an
important improvement at the mill,
and materially increase it's efficiency.
Mr.. Techow also states that the

According to this weeks report

ton mine has been pushed down.
ward for a distance of 95 feet.
Under present plans, at 100 feet
a stump hole will be started, and
drifting will commence on the hang
ing wall in an attempt to locate the
lost vein, from which rich ore was
about to be taken at the time of the
flood last August.
Within the last few days small
stringers have been reported COM
ing in the dark formation.
From the past history of the
mine, this is an indication that work
is in close proximity to a large ore
body. and much interest is being
centered in the work now going on.

Rate Hearing

Commissioners Shaughnessy and
Simmons are now in Salt Lake.
where a hearing is being held to-
day in the inter To"ptain Iate
cases. The hearing 8 of importance
to Nevada as it is estimated by the
railroad commission that from IL
to 80 per cent of the back-haIl
charge has been eliminated, but
there still remains 20 to 25 per
cent, placing Nevada merchants at
q disadvantage. Lower rates to
coast terminals have therefore been
allowed on the theory that they
were made necessary by water com
petition, but the contention of the
Nevada commission now is that. II
there was ever any merit in the
water competition theory, no such
competition exists at the present
time, as the traffic through the
canal is irregular and on a small
scale.

eureka DISTRICT GIVES GOOD
REPORT Of Mine DEVELOPMENT

L~ittlefair and Handley of Eureka.
Practically every freight team in
this district has been busy the past
week. Mine owners are making ar
effort to get out as large shipments
as possible before winter sets in
and while the present condition of
the roads makes for easy hauling.
In perhaps no other mining dis
trict in the state, or in the west
for that matter, has the oxidation
of ores proceeded downward to the
depth attained in this district. I'M
mtense bodies of oxidized ores are
found down to the 100O-level, M
while punches of good sized bodies
of galena have at times been opeE-
ed, and galena ores are found even
or the surface in a number of places
the general condition is as above
stated. Bunches of black metal,
and sulphides are sometimes found
quite close to the surface, and back
of Ruby Hill there is exposed a
30-foot dyke of pyrhotite, with some
sulphides disseminated through the
mass, but only in n mine, so far
as known, is there a body of sui
phide ore. 1t is generally conceded
the sulphide area should produce
quite as rich bodies of ore and as
large bodies as the oxidized zone,
and the Teaching" throughout the
oxidized area will make for enrich
ment as a rule of the deeper-seat-
ed bodies of sulphide. The body of
sulphide ore we have reference to
is of splendid shipping value. SAM
pies running better than 500 per
ton, with copper base, and develop
ments on this ore at the depth of
1000 feet will be awaited with keen
interest.-Eureka Sentinel.

and tile stock can now be supplied
to the market, with block produc-
ton not far away.
AS a matter of fact. representa-
tives of one of the biggest coast
marble houses were in camp and
left disappointed that they could not
then purchase blocks from the

ieties, for the absolute elimination

market. Although the company will
not be in a position to deliver black
stones until they reopen their No.
I quarry, they can still find ready
market for all of the white marbles
that they can supply. as the short
age in marbles is not confined to
the darker colored varieties.
Representatives of one Of the
coast houses will be here during the
coming month to purchase from
block production.
With the inception of block pro-
d~uction, the finishing plant can 90
ahead with it's true purpose, the
utilization of odd block production,
which is utilized in the tombstone
and tile markets. 1t is, of course,
an impossibility to pull all marbles
i'm standard sizes. and il is the odd
sized production that makes finish
ing plants necessary to all OF the
marble producing companies.
With the erection of tn travelling
crane, and the installation of addi-
tional quarrying machinery, the
plant will be in first-class shape
TO deliver. Most of the production
is now of the light blue and white
variety.-Carrara Obelisk
