TO BE MAKING LARGER OUTPUT

The north drift on the 2700 level
was reopened 80 feet to the 330-foot
point.
The Union shaft was reopened and
repaired for % feet below the 1000
level. and total distance in repair is
now $50 feet below the 1000 station.
The Mexican company on the $500
level extended west crosscut No. 2
to TIE 330-foot point, and the face
shows %porphyry and quartz. On the
200 level, east crosscut No. 4 was
advanced eight feet through por-
phyry and quartz of low assay value.
The mill received 367 tons of Gus
tom ore, averaging $34.11 per ton
and having a o value of rel
$12,500.
The Sierra Nevada report shows
very encouraging conditions prevail
ing on the $500 level, where pros
pecting and sampling has been un-
der way the past week. In the west
cross-cut, 50 feet west of the winZe
in No. I stope, north drift No. 2 was
started and advanced five feet. Two
feet of quartz in the face assays
$12 per ton. Opposite north drift
No. 3. south drift No. 2 was advanc-
ed five feet. and two and one-half
feet of quartz is showing in the
face. assaying $40 per ton. From
the work in both OF these drifts, 33
tons of ore we're saved assaying
st9.67 per ton. The Wine in No. l
stope was sunk four feet. and the
bottom is in vein matter. from low
to fair assays.
The Andes company, on the inter
mediate level, saved % cars of ore
for the week.
The Jacket mill received 273 tons
Of mine ore and 492 tons of dump
rock. and at the surface $50 tons of
ore were shipped TO the gloryhole
from the shaft bins. Repair york
was carried on along the various lev
els. and 344 cars of ore were saved
from No. 5 stope on the 1000 level.

from his lead-copper-silver proper
ty five miles east of Cobre, also
from his zinc property two miles
south of Loray. He vas highly
pleased with the returns and is con
fdent that both properties are val
liable.
Samples from the first named
property averaged better than 500
per ton, and his zinc samples went
80 per cent. There are three claims
in the first property and two in the
zinc property. Considerable inter
est has been directed to these prop
critics lately and it is reported that
a deal is on in which a local man
is inteerested.-Elko Independent.

SHIP SHVER-LEAD ORE
FROM LONE MOUNTAIN

The first shipment of a carload
of silver-lead ore from Lone Noun
tain is being loaded at insolvency
station on the II. & G. railroad.
which is likely to become some
thing more than a mere sidetrack.
The property sending out the ore is
owned by Walter Peterson. the To-
Gator, Ed Uren, Chas. ]. Wittenberg
and Sherman Lock. The first pick
was stuck in the ground less than
four months ago and at present
there is about 100 tons on the
dump waiting for teams to freight
it down to the tracks, a distance of
sever miles. The values are around
500 a ton and it is expected that
regular shipments will be sent out
every week.
Lone Mountain was one of the
most promising sections of the
country 20 years ago, when several
companies of importance operated
there, but, with the decline in lead
the field was abandoned until last
fall when prospectors ~rened some
excellent leads.-Bonanza.

STEEL COMPANY SAID
TO BE AFTER TUNGSTEN

LOVELOCK, New, April 20. -
Through H. H. Hunter, Sr., of Love
lock certain financial interests of
Chicago. said to be identified with
the United States Steel corporation,
lave become interested in a deal
to take over the BeesOn tungsten
properties located near Jessup, about
25 miles southwest of Lovelock. The
deal now under negotiation be-
tween l.. E. Beeson and the pur-
chasers now in Chicago is said to in
volve a total consideration of $1O,-
coo, t be paid in the course of a
year. with a probable cash payment
of $10,0 10000.
The ground consists of nine claims
passed upon by Forbes Richard OF
Denver for the steel crowd, and
is said to contain n of the largest
deposits of tungsten ever found in
Nevada. 1t will probably mean the
early erection of a mill on the edge
of Humboldt Sink. near the Toy
tungsten plant of the st. Anthony
mines of the Atkins-Kroll interests.

The Union Con. reports another
large ore extraction for the past
week, considerably in excess of last
week, 319 tons giving a gross value
of nearly $1,000. No 4 stope on
the 2400 level continues to show
high values, the ore being taken
value for the week of $57.15 per
ton. The values in No. ) stope also
show an increase. Sierra Nevada, in
prospecting in the west cross-cut on
the $500 level, so feet west of the
Wine on No. | stope, saved 33 tons
of ore averaging $19.67 per ton
from north and south drifts. The
north drift exposes two feet of $12
ore and tie south drift W and a
half feet of $50 ore. The Sierra Ne
vada winze is also in vein formation,
giving from low to fair assays. The
Mexican mill crused 367 tons GUS
tom ore, averaging $S4.11 per ton,
and a gross value of between $12,-
90 and $4,000. The Mexican $500
and 2700 level exploration drifts
show porphyry and quartz.
The Con. Virginia company, on the
2700-foot level, has continued the
south drift on the vein, and the face
continues to show a favorable look
ing vein formation, showing streaks
of quartz and clay.
The Ophir, on the 200 level, ex-
tended the north drift to the 3d.
foot point, and the face is in vein
matter, giving low assays. On the
2500-foot level the main north later
al drift from the incline station was
cleaned out and repaired to the 400
foot point. This drift is to be used
for tramming purposes to the Union
shaft.
The Union Con. mine made a sub
stantial increase in its ore produc-
ton for the past week, and the re-
covery was as follows: 240O level,
No. 4 stope. 81 ton averaging
$57.15 per ton; No. 5 stope, 147
tons, averaging $26.41 per ton: No.

ton of superintendent Weslar, Will
Lyons was chosen as the boy and
Helen Huntley as the girl to repre-
sent the Goldfeld high school in
the Academic league contests to be

The efforts of all the contestants
we're commendable, there being but
small difference In the total scores
of the first and last in the final
reckoning of the judges.
The two candidates for state ora
torical honors are well fitted to
represent the Goldfield high
school in the contests at Reno.
The boys contest will be held Fri
day morning, May IL at 8 o'clock.
and the girls contest will take
place at s o'clock in the evening Of
the same day.
Before and following the
speaking last evening, Miss
Helen Swain and Miss Muriel Stack
poole rendered vocal and instrument
tai selections.
The local high school will send
three representatives. to be y
lected by Mr.. Turner, to the field
and track meet of the Academic
league to be held at the same tim
as the defamation contest. I'm
fortunately some of the field and
track stars Of the high school are
disqualified for the meet by their
standing in classes.

MINE TO
CONSTRUCT MILL
FORBES RICHARD SAID TO HAVE
REPORTED FAVORABLY
ON PROPERTY

The Beeson Tungsten deal appar-
emily meas a new mill for Humboldt
county. 1t will probably be locat-
ed on the edge of the Humboldt
sink in the vicinity of the st. An
thony mines mill near Toy, and
somewhere within 10 miles in a
direct line from the property.
The Beeson property, said to hold
one Of the largest tungsten de
posits ever found in Nevada. and
one that will vie with the best of
Colorado, lies about % miles south.
west of Lovelock on the way to
Jessup. 1t is on the west side of
the Trinity range.
The ground was discovered, To-
Gated and sold in less than a month.
AS near as can be learned at this
time the deal amounts to $1,000 600.
II. II. Hunter. Sr. of Lovelock
brought the property to the atten-
ton of eastern capitalists locally
known as the "'steel" crowd. The
visit of Mr.. Sedgwick. their repre-
sentative. was followed by an In
speetion of the ground by Forbes
Richard. prominent mining engi-
neer of Denver.
He passed favorably on the prop
ertv. declaring in an interview Civ
en- out here that although Colora-
do has produced a million and a
half in tungsten last year, the fig
ure could easily be met here when
development gets under way. The
truth of his statement is obvious
when it is understood that the Toy
plant of the Akins-Kross tungsten
syndicate has just made a third
shipment of concentrates amounting
to ~S1S0.000.
According 70 unofficial figures
the three shipments of concentrates
from Toy since the mill started
late last fall have amounted to a
total of 100000.
Mr.. Beeson went to Chicago with
Mr.. Richard, where the deal is now
being closed. A $4,000 cash pay-
ment will probably be made with
vigorous development on the part
of the purchasers. The balance Of
the $780, geo is to he paid in six

A SHORT RIDE BUT
A DIFFICULT ONE

A mar was searching the side
walks in a well lighted section of
Columbia street about $50 a few
nights ago. Justice of the Peace Ar
mold was passing and the man
hailed him with "Ho judsh, | Josh

judge pointed out to him the lost
"iitney" standing about rs feet
from where the man stood, He
thanked the judge profusely and
said "By George. judsh. if it hadn't
been for you, I'd have had to walk
home" He carefully stepped down
from the high curb, wound up his
rediscovered jitney, climbed aboard,
missed another auto standing bv
the curb by a hair and drove to the
Goldfeld hotel, where he was last
seen sleeping it off in one of the
capacious chairs in the lobby.

MINE
IN TUNGSTEN

An eastern steel company has
secured an option on a large group
of tungsten claims belonging to L..
u. Beeson and associates, IL miles
from Jessup, in the northwestern
part of Churchill county. The OPP
ton is for a short time and calls
for the payment of $250.000.
The Beeson discovery is but a
few miles from the st. Andrew
mine near Toy, which was pur-
chased early in the winter OF 1915
by Atkins, Knoll and company Ut
San Francisco, and equipped with
reduction works. In both proper
ties the ore Is scheelite. The Bee
son discovery has attracted wide at
tention because of the large extent
OF the deposits. The veins occure
in a lime granite formation which is
intersected by garnet bikes.
There are large deposits that
it is believed will run one per cent
or better, besides a number OF
small veins containing ore of high
grade. These generally are found
along the contact of granite and
lime or garnet and lime.-Tono-

Mr.. Reid reports that 80 tons of
anthony vel taken from the
dumps during the winter, which Is
mostly 40 per cent sntimony.
1angements have been made to
MAKE shipments Of the ore to Chi
