At the new excavation that was
started on the vein about a month
ago. between the mill and the orig
nal tunnel workings, h vein has
now been stripped for a length OF
approximately 100 feet, with a
uniform width of about 80 feet. The
ore here is proving to he of a bet
ter average grade than in the old
workings, and the new excavation
is a veritable quarry of ore that
averages around IL per cent. A
good showing continues to be made
in the new open cut about 300
feet above the old tunnel.
All equipment of the 30-tOn mill
of the Independent Scheelite COM
ran at Scheelite is now in place.
Preliminary try outs of the mill
he been satisfactory. This is the
most modern mill that has yet been
erected on the Snake range tunS-
stem belt, all the equipment being
new and up to date. The various
workings are making a satisfactory
showing and this will undoubtedly
he one of the successful tungsten
mining enterprises of White, Pine
county.
The Nevada Scheelite company,
operating at Minerva. has lust
made another shipment of about
20 tons Of scheelite ore to the
United States Tungsten corpora
ton mill at Tungsten. This COM
pany is now working about 35 men
and making a large production of
ore. varying from good milling to
high grade. The tunnel is now he
ing driven by two shifts to get un-
der the splendid surface showing

Chief claim. a short distance above
the main camp. This will give a
depth of about 100 rect on the
vein.
Production is being continued
from the Oriole and Everett veins,
both of which are making an e%
cellent showing. High grade con-
ventrate is being recovered from
thu small testing plant at the main
camp.
1t is understood that local cap
~italists are now figuring on build
ing a custom mill for the purchase
and concentration of ores from
Various prospects along the Snake
range between the camps of Tung-
stem and Minerva. The proposed
location of the mill is near the
Swallow ranch, where there is al
abundant supply of water and prac-
tically all of the ore from thee
section can be delivered by down
hill haul.
