METAL OUTPUT OF
EASTERN STATES

The value of the gold, silver, copper,
lead, and zine produced at mines in the
Eastern or Appalachian states in 1915
was $29, ,96s, 1863, against $11, ,437,7 ,707 in
1915, according to the statement just
made public by the United States Ge-
illogical Survey. The figures for 1915,
compiled by James NJ. Hill, represent
the production of 104 mines, of which
50 were gold placer mines (many of
them smalD, "a deep gold mines, IA
lead and zinc mines, and seven copper
mines. There was an increase in the
production of gold, silver, lead, and
zinc in 1915, compared with 1914, but
a decrease in copper.
The gold output from all mines was
10,84S.09 fine ounces, valued at $224,-
$50, an increase of 2,450.73 ounces IN
quantity and of $50,661 in value from
1914. The silver output, recovered in
part from placers but mainly as by
product in refining gold and copper
produced, was 102,5 ,545 fine ounces, val
ued at $51 1887, an increase of 1878
ounces in quantity but decrease OF
$3,715 in value. OF the gold output in
1915 the placers yielded 1,16341
ounces, against 904.56 ounces in 1914,
and the gold quartz minese produced
9,343.54 ounces, against 1859 ounces
in 1914. The copper mines produced
1854 ounces of gold in 1915 and
1921 ounces in 1914. OF the SO pro-
ducing gold placers in 1915, there were
81 in Georgia, % in North Carolina,
two in Alabama and four in South Car
olina. Siliceous ores or failing sold or
treated from Appalachian gold mines
in 1915 amounted to 49,736 short tons,
of which 25,910 tons was from North
Carolina. 1880 Cons from Alabama,
20,052 tons from Georgia, 2,424 tons
from South Carolina, and 100 tons
from Virginia. The output of slice
GUS gold ore in 1915 was about 1924
tons more than in 1914, and the gold
from deep mines increased about
2,1S395 ounces The average recovery
of gold (including nominal recovery
of silver per ton of siliceous ores
treated in the eastern states in 1918
was $5.55. The average in Georgia
was $1.29 and in North Carolina $6.65.
The copper production in 1915 was
1s,772,735 pounds, valued at $685.
900, decrease of 7s2,627 pounds in
quantity and an increase of 1854, 1865
in value. of the total output 1S,046,010
pounds came from the Ducktown dis
triet of eastern Tennessee, from $685.
5S4 short tons of pyritic copper ore
treated. The remainder came chiefly
from Pennsylvania. where, at the Corn
wall iron mines, the magnetic separa-
tion of large quantities of magnetic
ores results in the recovery of copper
bearing pyrite. Vermont, Virginia and
North Carolina also contributed to the
copper output.
The production of lead was 697 1929
pounds, valued at $32,775, an increase
over the 1914 production of 443, 1929
pounds.
The zinc output, figured as spelter,
was 312, ,49S,575 pounds, valued at $780,
374,128 an increase of 142,781, ,621
pounds in quantity and of ST., 7,776, ,4S1
in value. The largest producers were
the zine mines of New Jersey, but a
large and increased output also came
from eastern Tennessee, western Vir-
ginia and New York.

SUCCESSFULLY WORKS BAD
CHECK GAME IN RENO

A bad-eheck individual, who has ae-
ouired real art in the game Of putting
ont bad paper, successfully made
Reno several DAYS ago and left with
1926 which he obtained from n Reno
firm which fell a victim to an entirely
new departure in the bad check line,
SAYS the Gazette.
Visiting the store in the afternoon
after banking hours he made pur-
chase and rendered a check upon a
local bank for 1925 in payment.
realize that / am a stranger to you,
he said frankly, "and / don I ask that
vou accept this check at this time or
give me the goods / suggest, however,
that You deposit il az the bank Mon
dav morning and after it is accepted
there will call and get my purchase. =
The check was taken with this I'M
derstanding and the goods held. Mon
day morning il was offered to the bank
for deposit bearing the firm s endorse.
ment hut was not accepted, as the
stranger had no money to his credit.
In the middle of the morning the
stranger showed up smilinglv at the
store for his purchase and when told
that his check had not been honored
showed considerable surprise, but ex.
planned that as he had only made his
deposit at the bank that same morning
the firm had evidently gotten to the
bank ahead of him.
''Iust give me the check and | viii
cash IL at the bank myself" J" he state
politely. "I viii he back in a few min.
utes for my goods He was handed
the check, bearing the endorsement of
the firm on the back, which enabled
him TO negotiate it in few minutes
on Virginia street, the endorsement on
the back removing all suspicion from
the man to whom it was rendered.
Local bankers say the scheme is en-
tirely new in Reno.

MISSES DAVENPORT
And JEWELL WIN

There was good attendance at the
annual deelamatory contst Of the local
High school last evening, in spite of
the fact that the circus was still in
town and the tones of the calliope
came floating across from the circus
sand-lot and into the windows while
the contest was in progress. This, to-
gether with the fact that it was lodge
night for many, and many others were
thoroughly tired out by the strenuous
events of the day, would have been
sufficient excuse for small attendance
at the contest
Those who came were treated to an
excellent program. The High School
orchestra did well as usual, and the
vocal solo by Mrs. Piper was one of
the best we have heard. The lady has
splendid voice and Winnemucca rs
very fortunate in having vocalist of
such calibre in our midst.
There were five contestants compel
ing and every one did work of which
they and their friends may well be
proud Avery Davenport rendered
'T.asca,' the dashing western selec-
tion descriptive of the stampede, with
especial charm and modulation of
voice
Erma DeMotte, whom every one re-
members as an artist with the humor-
Gus selections tried something differ
ent in "Little New Year" and did
well with it.
Mildred Jewell had what was prob
ably the most difficult piece of the
evening in the dramatic selection
=" Iseariot" In voice, gesture and
force, her work was highly commend
able.
Nora Roberts came next with the
well known selection, "How He Saved
st. Michaels.'' The rush and elang of
city fire is in the selection, and the
speaker made it very real to us.
Beth Wrede closed the contest with
the historical selection. "The Black
Horse and Rider The smoke and
carnage of a Revolutionary battle
gives scope for the dramatic. and Miss
Wrede brought it out with force.
DIR. G.. F. Pope. Rev. L. NJ. Gates and
Hon. L. G. Campbell were the judges
of the evening. and after some con
ference gave first place to Miss Daven-
port, and second honors to Miss Jewell
These win therefore go to Reno next
week and represent us at the state
contest.

SENATOR PITTMAN REPLIES
TO DR.. ROMANO ADAMS

Senator Key Pittman has written
the following letter to DIR. RomanZo
Adams, regarding the latter 8 criticism
of the school land grant bill intro
dueed and now pending before Con
gress:
/ Z" Mr.. Romance Adams, Reno New.
"My Dear Mr. .Adams:-I an in re
ceipt of your letter of April 25th upon
the 100000 acre land grant bill,
which you state you intend to make
public Your two objections to the
bill are stated in the following words
II do not desire the grant to
be made. Ny reasons, in brief, are
two: (D That the grounds on
which the grant is requested are
not valid; and (2) that the grant,
if made, would tend to obstruct
the introduction of an effective
system of national control of
range lands, thing which is
greatly needed in this state
CT have already discussed publicly
in every way my views on the bill. I
want the state to have all the land it
can get under the best terms that can
be obtained You don It want the state
to have the land at all Our positions
are therefore irreconcilable. / consider
the interests of the school Children, the
college boys, and the taxpayers of the
state of first Importance. | have made
an argument showing that the people
of our state have not been as well
treated as other states. You have
made an argument to show that they
have been better reated. | have made
an argument showing that our school
children, our school teachers, our col
lege boys. our University and our tax
payers need the grant. You have made
an argument to show that they do not
need and should not have it. We are
simply looking at the matter from diff
ferent viewpoints.
81 desire to congratulate you, how
ever, for stating frankly, openly and
honestly, the real reason for the at
tack ON the bill, namely, that it re-
duces and interferes with the public
range of the state.
every sincerely yours.

VIRGINIA CITY FLOODED
WITH BOGUS MONEY

Circulation of bogus five dollar
pieces in this city has been called to
the attention of the Z. S. treasury Off
eials and it is probable that secret ser
vice men will be sent here to investi-
gate. The counterfeit money, which IS
patterned after the design of the new
coinage, is said to be so cleverly got
ten up that it is almost impossible to
detect anything wrong until it arrives
at the bank. According to the bank
officials, the counterfeit coins are light
in weight and do not ring true.-Vir-
ginia Enterprise.

Frank d. Qualey Of Hawthorne and
j. b. TAFT of San Francisco, who are
largely interested in Nevada mining
and metal production, recently acquir-
ed the Indian Queen mine in Mineral
county, situated six miles from the i.
& G.. branch.
Has Great Production Record
The property has a lead-silverzinc
deposit, and has been a profitable ship
per of ore. Authentic records show a
production of more than $4,000,000
the 700-foot level Smelter returns
show an average content of 300 ounces
of silver and 20 per cent lead. The
ore also carries fair percentage of
zinc, which heretofore was a total loss,
but with modern methods of separat-
ing zinc and lead contents gives both
metals in the ore commercial value.
Thus the zinc values will add consid-
erably to the profit in working the
mine.
Much Ore Ready for Reduction
Testing the Indian Queen dumps and
fillways of old mine workings shows
over $4,000 tons OF. ore broke, carrying
12 ounces silver, per cent lead and
the same in zine content, and some
gold values. which, with a reduction
plant on the mine property, assures
good profit to the new owners.
The deeper workings show a like
high grade silver-lead ore from which
the large shipments were made in ear
lv DAYS Leasers, when silver was at
so cents an ounce and lead at 315
cents pound, shipped large quantities
of ore, the smelter returns giving
values to the ton in car load lots of
1920. $132, $S0.43, $165.S6, $149.7S,
and s16O.20
There are chambers in the old work
ings from which as high as $3.50, 900
were taken of this higher grade ore,
leaving large quantities of lower grade
ore in position to be cheaply mined
and reduced.
The vein formation and conditions
are for a greater mine with added
depth than has been heretofore proven.
Recently the Indian Queen Mining
company was incorporated with Frank
D. Qualey of Hawthorne, J. B. TAFT of
San Francisco. and Frank Z. Reber of
Winnemucca as ineorporators and man
aging directors.
Messrs. Qualey and TAFT are now buy
ing machinery and mining equipment
which wifi be installed and ased IN
opening the mine to greater depth and
for the handling of the lower grade
ores in sight. With this machinery in
stalled, the Indian Queen should be on
producing basis in 90 days.

pletely equipped with air eompressors

property, which is now in full opera
