TUNGSTEN Mining in EASTERN
PART Of NEVADA PROFITABLE

Tungsten company, organized by Nc
Gill people, and operating in Will
liams Creek, about m and a half
miles south of the U. S. Tungsten
Corporation. They have a splendid
showing on several claims and are
rapidly pushing operations.
At Minerva. IL miles farther
south. the Nevada Scheelite COM
pany has has opened some excep-
tionally good showings of scheelite
ore in a number of veins. Pending
construction of a mill they are con-
filming their operations to high
grade streaks in the big veins, and
are sacking large quantities OF ore
that will average around 10 per
cent. while considerable of 1t is
nearly pure scheelite. C~ross-section
sampling seven to II feet wide
across show from 1.91 to $50 per
cent. On the Scheelite Chief vein
they are working on a high-Srade
streak two and a half to three feet
wide that averages Is per cent.
This company holds 20 claims I'M
der bond and lease at $500, 600 AMI
five additional claims by location.
Gail S. Hoag of Ely recently Sc
cured an option from the Tilford
brothers on a group of seven claims
south of Minerva at $4,000, in
behalf of New York parties.
Osceola, a few miles north of the
independent Tungsten company. is
also the scene of extensive mining
operations.
All along the Snake range, on
both slopes prospectors and small
operators are busy. Tents dot the
hills and ravines, blasts are heard
throughout the day, the roads are
lined with autos and freight teams.
and people who have not been able
to obtain choice locations are now
making applications for leases on
favorable showings.
From the leasing standpoint,
tungsten mining in this region Of
fers unusually attractive opportunl-
ties for men of limited means. Ore
ranging in value from 500 to sew
eral hundred dollars per ton is en-
countered at surface on the ma
jority of veins, and the leaser can
sort this down to a high grade be
fore shipping, so his ore will run
into handsome figures. The U. S.
Tungsten corporation is in the mar
ket for the purchase of ores at it's
mill on the range, and similar ar
rangements will probably be made
by others at various points, so that
convenient market will be afforded.

ELY, New, April 27.-Interest
and activities are daily increasing in
the tungsten belt hat stretches
along the Snake range in the east
ern part of White Pine county for
40 miles, bordering closely on the
western line of Utah. and other i'm
portant discoveries are being made
around Cherry Greek, so miles north
of Ely, and in the Shell Greek
range. Is miles east of Ely.
The Snake range deposits are pro-
life, being found on both slopes
and in various formations, including
granite. quartzite and limestone, the
ores being hGbnerite and scheelite.
Veins vary from three to four feet
to more than 20 feet wide. and as
development progresses it is be-
coming more evident that this is
one of the greatest tungsten belts
ever discovered. In fact. what is
known as the Shepherd property at
Tunstonia. at the north end of the
zone, is pronounced to be one of
the biggest tungsten mines in the
world, one man breaking enough
ore to supply a small mill that is
turning out from 500 to 1000
pounds of concentrates per day that
will average better than 60 per
cent tungstic acid, worth at present
prices more than SO a pound. A. R.
Shepherd, with whom Los Angeles
people are associated. is preparing
to add new equipment and greatly
enlarge the capacity of this mill.
Deals for properties are being
made all along the range, n of
the latest being the purchase by
Charles Osterlund of Ely of prop
erty adjoining the Shepherd mine
for $4,000. A concentrating plant
is to be erected within the near flu
ture.
The new mill of the Independent
Tungsten company at Scheelite is
being rushed in construction and
should be in operation within the
next 80 days. Captain Duncan Mac
Vichie of Salt Lake City is inter
ested in this property with Al ID.
Myers, Charley Gaby, William Stew
art and K. C. Davis of Ely. De-
velopment and production is in prog
ress on several veins. a gasoline
hoist is being erected on one of the
shafts, and a large compressor plant
is being installed at the portal of
what is known as No. l tunnel.
from where power will be supplied
for machine drills at various points.
The United States Tungsten cor
poration, employing about $50 men,
is gradually expanding the scope of
it's operations at Tungsten, five miles
south of Scheelite. They have been
handling about so tons of ore per
day, but are now increasing the ca
pacity of the mill to about double.
This company is now in the market
to buy pres from other operators,
thus providing a convenient mar
ket for the production made by
p%rospectors and leasers. They nCld

been consistently maintained since
extraction of ore commenced.
The work this week in the Buck
eve consists of developing the ledge
at tho head of the 310-foot inclined
upraise. The ledge is about 80 feet
wide and has some parts of it thai
are a good grade of mill ore. The
DEVELOPMENT eastward is showing an
Improvement. At the same time
the ledge will be developed up the
incline toward the 900-foot to meet
a Wine that will be driven on the
vein from that point.
Considerable Improvement has
been had at the Monarch Pittsburg
since the last report. The 1101
north cross-cut which was being ex-
tended toward the old McKane shaft
reached the north side-line of the
Pittsburg claim. whereupon a raise
was started and is now up 20 feet
in a rhyolite breccia formation.
The main feature of the report
concerning tie operations at the

property is the information that
shirments have been resumed.
