NEW YORK INTERE.;TS
ENTER COipEIs CANYON

New York interests have secul ed
a bond on the properties of the Glas-
gov e Western Exploration CON-
pany at Copper canyon, south of
Battle Mountain. according to the
Scout. The mines have not been
worked since 1880. The Glasgow
& Western is a Scottish company in
which the Coates, large manufac-
turers of thread. were heavily inter
ested. Through bad management
and possibly dishonesty on the part
of some of it's American representa-
tives, the company got in a bad way
financially and its properties were
put in the hands of Joseph Ralph
for liquidation. Ralph reached a
compromise basis for the adjust
ment of the claims and for the past
two years has maintained offices in
Salt Lake, devoting his time to the
disposal of the assets. The smelter
at Golconda was strapped and sold
to junk dealers. The company last
summer figured in the courts as
claimants to rich placer ground in
the Copper Basin district, which
had been located as placer deposits.

The Jumbo Extensions output of
silver and copper for 1916 will be
much greater than for 1915, due TO
the larger tonnage and the per-

AUTO TRAVEL SHOWS
INCREASE OVER 1913

During the month of April the
owners of 81 transcontinental autos
registered at the Lincoln Highway
garage as against 2S for the same
month last year. The month of
April is too early to expect much
travel through this section, but the
increase over that of last year is
satisfactory and may be considered
as an indication of a general n
crease of travel during the entire
season. After June of last year
the general average of autos regis
tering at the Lincoln Highway gar
afe was 500 per month, but owing
t. the fact that the route is now
better advertised, and as the roads
are in much better condition, it is
expected that the travel will be
much heavier than last year.-Ely

ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER SHOWING

J.. A. Donovan returned to East
Ely last night from a two weeks
trip throughout the tungsten mines
of the Snake range. Mr.. Donovan
reports that the Doyle Mining COM
pany has taken back it's property
at Sacramento Pass upon which a
bond had been given to California
parties. Russell Moyle, superin-
tendent for the Doyle company, has
10 men at work and is taking out
some of the best ore the property
has ever produced.
Mr.. Donovan, who is a mining
man of more than 20 years exs
p%erience. al so favorably Impress
ed by the country around Sacra-
mento Pass that he made a num-
Der of locations for himself and
associates. During his trip, Mr..
Donovan visited the entire belt from
Sacramento Pass south as far as
the Minerva district and he is
especially enthusiastic over the
property of the Nevada Scheelite
company in the Minerva district
which is nov being developed under
the management of w. j. Stewart
of Ely.-Ely Record.

TbNOPAH MEN HAVE

which is owned jointly by Mckay
and Nick Abelman. The assay
represents SO tungstic acid, one
OF the best showIngs in the state.
The gToup is under option for
100000 to M. ID. Fairchilds, trus-
tee for the Nixon estate with or
fees in Reno and San Francisco.
When the option vas granted the
average assay was one per cent
and the improvement, according to
the latest return, makes the prop
erty much more valuable. The
show Ec is better than the famors
group at ~Sodaville, which is re-
garded as the best shipping tung-
stem proposition in Nevada. The
formation of lime and granite with
a garnet Gaping is similar to that
at Jessup where the Beeson group
was taken owe last week by the
United States Steel corporation for
$25O,00O.

spent $4,000 in proving up cop

SILVER ADVANCE
HELPS INDUSTRY
STIMULATED BY METALS
RISE

Advances in the price of silver
have greatly increased the earnings
Of silver producing mines in Nevada
and must soon find reflection in in
creased dividend rates. The mines
of Tonopah and Rochester r the
greatest beneficiaries and some in
piled showing comparative earnings
of some of the big producers with
silver at rs cents per ounce.
The report of Tonopah Extension
for March, for instance, gives the
bullion production as 1~,721.19 ounc-
es gold and 1S2,699 ounces silver,
valued al $145,893. The silver bull
lion is worth $137,024.95 at rs
cents per ounce; adding the value
of the gold, $3~4,423.S0, gives a
total of $171,447.45, an increase
of $25,554.15 for the month, of
$3O6,649 per year.
Belmont earnings for March are
based on silver at so cents per
ounce The output was 2,S57.62
ounces gold and 269,219 ounces sill
yer, the latter valued at $134,609.
The increased value with silver at
Is cents would be $67,303 for the
month, or $SO7,636 gain yearly.
1t is stated that the ore milled by
the Rochester Mines company dur
ing the nine moAths operation OF
the mill in 1915 averaged % ounc-
es silver per ton. The company fig
ures an increased profit of 1928 per
ton with silver at rs cents. Placing
the average OF the mill at 113 tons
per day, the average for last year,
the increased profit would amount
to $40 per day, or $255,00O a year.
These instances are taken at ran
dom, the mines being selected be-
cause production figures were avail
able. There are scores of prOduc-
ing mines in the state which will
benefit on the same ratio, an in
age price received last year for
silver. There is scarcely a mine in
the state that does not produce
some silver, no matter what the
character o. it's Ores, unless tung-
stem is excepted. The copper, lead
and zinc ores carry considerable
percentage of their values in silver,
which is also present in greater or
less quantity in the gold ores.
Not alone are big producing
mines affected by the demand for
silver. Higher prices have made it
possible to profitably handle thou
sands of tons of low grade ore, and
a number of mines are being re-
opened and worked. 1t is not pos
sible to estimate the increased
wealth of Nevada through this me-
dunn, nor to prophesy what it will
be if silver continues to advance
until 80 cents or 81 is reached, a
condition which does not I'M
likely.-Gazette.
