went o $40 to the ton. A 1OO-
foot tunnel was driven to catch the
vein at the 500 level and at this
depth the values we're found to run
into hundreds of dollars. Free
gold is found in the quartz and
black oxide of manganese. Native
silver is visible in numerous places
in the length of the vein, together
with a%uriferous pyrite and silver
bearing sulphides. At a depth of
$50 feet the ore-shoot has not been
bottomed.
Figures of production for the
Prince mine are not available over
the whole period of milling, but
the value of January and Febru-
airy shipments Of bullion have been
closely Appropriated. The jan
uary shipment was somewhat over
500 pounds, worth about $4,000.
The February cleanup was 1900
pounds of an estimated value OF
$4,000. Thee March shipment
was estimated as being of about
the same value of that of Feb
ruary.
During April much time was lost
on account of delays in getting
repairs for milling machinery, and
because of trouble with water on
the newly opened 6OO-level. The
bullion shipment was small,
May promises a good output.
The mine is being excellently
handled under the superintend-
-ance of Lee D. Dougan, with H. G.
Huffbuhr as foreman.
The Rex Mine
South of the Elko Prince and a
little over a half mile is the Rex.
There is an up-to-date fve-stamp
mill on the property which is
operated by the Battle Mountain
Nercantile company of Battle Noun
tain.
This property has had a check
cred career. Originally operated
by the n and then by leasers
it has produced in excess of $780,
900 and has attained a depth of
only 200 feet. The vein is a re-
markable n in this district of
normal narrow veins. In a num-
Der of places it is over 10 feet
wide averaging $25 and better
across this width. The vein-mat-
Ter is soft as a rule, it being pos
sible to do much of the stopirg
with pick and shovel.
Mr.. Horton, one of owners, and
George Brady of Midas are pre-
pairing to reopen the mine and ex-
rect to have things going full
blast within two weeks.
The Grizzley Group of nine
claims is being developed by No
ble and Stone. 1t has attained but
little depth, but the showings are
good. They have something over
90 tons Of $4O-ore on the duro
and have blocked out 800 more
OF an ven better grade between
the fifty and 100 levels.
The Missing Link claim of the
Rice group, owned by Paisley and
Uouy OF Midas, is producing from
the Ray and Allen lease. A heavy
shipment was sem to the smelter
at Murray, Utah, last week.
Stepping has been carried on
energetically on the 30O-le>e
since November 1915. the fill-stope
system being used. A station
hos been cut in the drift on the
800 and a hoist erected to handle
ore from the new slopes Oh the
6O0-level.
DEVELOPMENT has blocked out
an ore value of $1,000, 900, but
stopping has shown that on the
3CO-level the ere extends con3id-
erably beyond the computed area.
The milling equipment Is first-class.
the Marcy hall mill permits of fine
grinding and a very high percent
age of recovery by cyanide treat
ment. ARRANGEMENTS have been
made to handle custom ore and
to date a few leasers have taken
advantage of this, though no o n
siderable tonnage has been put
through, weather conditions hav-
ire made the roads almost I'M
passable. With improved weather
