The Consolidated Tungsten COM
pany, organized by Ely people and
ofiicered by II. Mcintyre, president:
r. s. Ayres, vice president; Sam
Bernstein, secretary; Chas. w. Farr,
treasurer; and Alfred Doull, ]. d.
Murphy and j. d. Watson as addi-
tional directors, has a group OF 20
lode claims and 10 placers in Will
Iiams creek, about l " miles south
of the U. s. Tungsten corporation.
They have high class showing of
hubnerite ore on the Big Four, the
Gem and Gem Extension veins, the
ore bodies ranging up to four feet
wide, and on the Big Four vein be-
ing traced along the surface for about
400 feet. A good camp has been es-
tablished in Williams creek gulch
and they have ordered equipment for
Bottom mill, which they expect to
have in operation within the near
future, depending upon the date of
delivery of the machinery.
At Scheelite the Independent Tung-
stem company's camp, there Is
scene of much activity in mining and
construction work, in which about
so men are now employed under the
superintendency of AL D. Meyers. The
framework for the new 30-ton mill
is nuder construction and equipment
is arriving; a hoist is being put up
on what is known as No. 3 shaft, now
down so feet; two tunnels are being
driven on good showings OF ore, and
a big compressor plant will be Install
ed at once at No. / tunnel to supply
power for machine drills on all OF the
extensive mining operations.
This camp is most pleasantly sit
uated, and the boarding house, con-
Quoted by w. E. Clark, affords un-
usually good accommodations to the
large force of men.
Among other operators in this sec
tion are the Tilford brothers, who
have a three-stamp mill under con-
struction. the Baird brothers, who
have five claims on which are some
good showings; Senator Jake Fulmer
C. A. Walker, and Judge Cartwright;
Chas. Osterlund and associates, and
quite a number of others who have
some very promising prospects, with
ore in sight.
No section OF the range has a bet
ter showing than the Nevada Schee-
lite company at Minerva, about IA
miles south of the U. S. Tungsten
corporation. They hold 20 claims
under lease and bond from Jasper
NJ. Fox, c. f. Millick and A. G. Mil
lick, at 100000, and five other loca-
tions. The company is composed of
Salt Lake City people. officered by
Earl R. Pembroke, president: A. w
Gates, vice president and treasurer;
n. e. Winwood, secretary, and A. w.
Sheldon, director. William Stewart
of Ely is manager of the company and
also director.
A fine camp has been established
and mining operations are being con-
Quoted on an extensive scale.
The Scheelite Chief, just above the
camp, is one of the finest lodges yet
opened along the entire range. 1t
shows continuous outcrop for a dis
tance of 1900 feet. to where fault
in. associated with more or less
scheelite. At the main workings the
ore shoot has been proven for 80 feet,
averaging nine feet in width, from
which four cross-section samples
showed an average value at surface
of 2.S5 per cent tungstic acid. They
are now mining and sacking ore
from a high grade streak 2h to 8
feet wide that will run Is per cent,
and some of the selected ore will go
up to so per cent This country is en-
tirely lime.
The Oriole vein. parallelling the
Scheelite Chief about 1900 feet
north, is also in the lime, and can
be traced for $500 feet. 1t varies
from IL inches to 8 feet in width
and samplings along 20 feet and an
average width of feet show an av-
erage value of 1.91 per cent tungstic
acid. Some high grade shoots have
been encountered. and large guam
tity of ore is being sacked.
What is considered one of the best
veins OF the group is the Everett vein
at the north of the property. It out
