that the Thompson smelter Df The

w. Guernsey. general manager for
thee Mason Valley Mines company
and the smelter, who came up FROM
Thompson Friday night and spent
Saturday in Reno. One of the two
furnaces will be blown in within
six weeks or two months and the
other one as soon thereafter as ar
rangements can be made for ore.
In addition to the smelter at
Thompson the company will oper-
ate it's mines in the Mason Valley
district, 80 miles from the smelter
town. The mines have been re-
opened after being idle for two
years and are being put in condition
to supply a part of the tonnage for
the smelter.
With both furnaces in operation
a force of 120 men will be EN-
ployed there, besides the force in
tie mines; and another large fore,
of miners and trammers will be
required for the Bluestone mine,
which has a contract to deliver
1000 to 1900 tons per day to the
smelter. Mr.. Guernsey is attend
ing to the details incident to the
resumption of operations, securing
a supply of coke and other supplies
necessary.
The two furnaces have a combin-
ed capacity of 1900 tons or more
per day. 1t is the intention of the
Mason Valley Mines company, which
owns the smelter, to buy custom
ore just as soon as the first fur
mace is ready to blow in. Mr..
Guernsey says it is to be operated
as a custom smelter. The freight
rate from Nevada points to Thomp-
son is much lower than to Salt

AUGMENT PROFITS OF
COMPANIES

Recent advances in the prices
of silver and copper mean an enor-
NOUS increase in the earnings OF
Nevada mines and in the assets
of some of the silver mining com
panies, which are carrying a big
lot of silver in storage that is
credited at SO cents per ounce.
In the matter of copper, the In
crease in price to 80 cents per
pound based on the last quarters

of 2~4,5S5,593 pounds of copper,

of $~1,475,123, the difference in

cents, copper at sc leaves a mar
gin of 10 cent? per pound.
The fact that 80 per cent of
the output for the first six months
of 1917 has been sold, according
to good authority, has stimulated
copper mining throughout the
STATE. Luning, Y%erington and Con-
tact all are bending every energy
to the production of copper ore.
OF the four big companies oper-
ating at Tonopah, Tonopah Belmont
and Tonopah Mining carry large
stocks of silver. The report of the
former for the fiscal ear ending
February 20, 1916, shows 946,753
ounces On hand which is figured in
the assets at so cents per ounce.
With silver at II cents these stocks
have increased in value $~198,819.39.
The report of Tonopah Mining for
the same period gives about the
same amount of silver on hand; so
that these two companies have in
creased their assets almost s40O,-

the metal on their stored silver

The immense profits that have
accrued to the Tonopah Belmont
Development company through its
ability to store it's silver can best
be understood by referring to prices

of the metal in 1915 was 49.7 cents

REFUSED BY OPERA
TORS

The joint committee, representing
the five unions, members of which
are employed in the Tonopah mines
and mills, met at Musicians hall
last evening to pass on a communi-
cation received yesterday afternoon
from the Mine Operators associa-
ton concerning the wage increase
The operators declined to grant
a flat increase of so cents a shift,
but stood by their original order,
viz: To pay a bonus of SO cents
a shift as long as the monthly
average of silver remains above 70
cents an ounce, not payable unless
five shifts or more have been work
ed.
After celebrating at length, the
committee decided to leave the mat
ter of a strike to a referendum vote
of the unions tomorrow. The mine
workers will cast secret ballots on
the question of a walkout, between
10 a. m. and z p. m.
All mine workers who can qualify
are requested to be present and
vote and in order to vote eacn

district and gives promise of a sub
stantial production.
Silver Pick Cons.
Development work continues at a
depth of 100 feet in crOss-cuts
that are being driven east and west
from the main shaft. In both cross
cuts many seams and small deposits
of pay ore have been exposed and at
the east the cross-cut has been
turned to follow several of these
seams that are near together, in
the hope hat they will be found to
unite in an orebody of commercial
proportions. Conditions at the west
are equally encouraging. The shaft
will later be continued to cut the
shale contact. Far to the north
west the third hole is being bored
to depth by means of a Calyx core
drill and results of this work have
aroused much interest as the cores
contain heavy black sulphide ore at
a depth of 200 feet.
Great Bend
Ore of excellent grade is in sight
at several points in the Great Bend
mine and a new level is being driv-
en- to cut the main vein at a point
above the main drift on the 300-foot
level. A raise was driven neal the
old Loftus-Davis winze and in this
raise and in a drift extended east
from the top of the raise some ore
of excellent grade has been broken.
The recent work has placed in sight
a large quantity of excellent milling
ore.
DiamOndfield Black Butte
Plans for the development of the
Orizaba property, which is con-
trolled by the Black Butte COM
pany, will be put in operation early
in January and will result in the
thorough exploration of the ground
and the opening up at depth of the
large bodies of good ore now ex-
posed on the deepest level. All
necessary mine equipment has been
purchased for this work. On the
Diamondfield property some high
grade ore has been exposed lately
and a shipment has been made to
the sampler. A core drill has been
installed and the property will be
p~rospected at great depth.
Grandma Consolidated
1t is estimated that the main
Grandma shaft will penetrate the
big Wheeler vein within the next
week or 10 days, when develop
ments of the first Importance are an
~ticipated. The vein has produced
some rich ore from a point only a
short distance south of the Grand
ma ~company's present workings.
Cracker Jack
At a depth of 800 feet the new
east cross-cut is being driven for
ward rapidly to cut the main Co.
lumbia Mountain fault vein and
should reach this famous vein with
in a short time. Ore of good grade
has been found on and above the
12O-foot level and there is every
indication that the ~orebodies will be
found to extend to greater depth.

The recent work of the company
has not been in the ore-shoot OPEN

Big Price For Sheep

At was is thought to be the
highest price ever paid in Clark
county, Idaho men recently pur-
chased 1000 head of sheep from the
Southern Nevada Livestock COM
pany. The sheep were sold in Las
Vegas at a price of $3.50 per head.
They will not be taken to Idaho,
but will be allowed to range in
the vicinity of ~Bunkerville.

the ore-shoot will now be developed
thoroughly. 1t is apparent that
the winze is entering the shale con-
tact zone, where the best results
are to be expected.

The national forestry service has
been checking the fire evil by urging
smokers to break match in two be-
fore throwing it away. That insures
that the match won't be tossed into
a dangerous place while it's still blaz-

all such advice by legai prohibition.
People can be made careful about
matches and lighted cigarettes, just
as they have been made careful about

Our insane asylums have heretofore
always been run according to mascu-
line standards. There have been
women attendants for women, but the
great majority Of attendants and 9TH
er functionaries have been men, and
the treatment of inmates of both SEX
es has been usually hard and unsym-
pathetic. In nearly every community
our insane asylums have, been sub.
jects of endless scandals because of
the cruelty practiced in them, openly
or covertly. 1t may be taken for
granted that with women attendants
in charge of patients of both sexes,
there will be little of that.
In part, this innovation is due to

LIMITING THE COST.

Parents will commend the board OF
education in offering suggestion rel.
alive to the graduation gowns of the
fair members Of the graduating class.
Fond parents naturally desire to have
their child appear at her best, but
lavish expenditures often embarrass-
es the girl not SO fortunately situat-
ed. ~ ,.,- ....... ,.
The plan to limit the cost of the
graduation toys as far as is possible
has been adopted successfully in 9th
er cities. Cap and gowns are often
used. This secures uniformity at a
small cost. In some cities the girls
of the graduating class assist in max
ing their own gowns after the same
general pattern.
Whatever scheme is used in the
bismarck school matters little, but
the idea if carried out properly is a
good one both for the children and
the parents.
