CITY
MINE STARTS

a deal has been consummated
in the past few days between the
Comstock Milling & Mining company
and a Boston syndicate whereby the
old Buckeye property, consisting OF
two claims at Silver City, will be
worked again. According to the
contract the Boston people will open
the mine from the present water
level, at 235 feet, to the bottom
of the old shaft, something like
900 feet, and arrangements will be
made at once to install the neces-
sary machinery.
The Buckeye is the Oldest pat
ented mine in the Silver City dis
trict, and during its career, OK
tending over a period of so years,
has produced in Xces of $1,000
900. When the 235 level was
reached, in the early days, the ore
could not be worked profitably, but
the records show that down to the
800 level there was an almost in
eXhaustible supply that ran from
Sc to $40 per ton in gold. But
with the prevailing costs of hand
ling, f%reighting and milling in
those days trying to mine such ore
was a losing proposition, therefore
the lower workings were permitted
to fill with water and all efforts
we're conferred on the orebodies
above the 235 level. These have
since beel nearly worked out.
When the pumps have been in
stalled and the mine unwatered the
shaft and old workings will be put
in first class shape and the ex-
traction of ore begun and instead of
packing the latter a number of
miles to a mill it will be run by
gravity to a nearby reduction plant.
1t is figured that once the prop
erty is unwatered it will not re-
quire more than two hours pumping
each day to keep the mine clear
OF water.-Carson Appeal

OIL LAND CASES
REACH HEARING
COURT IL MOVED ENTIRE FROM
LOS ANGELES TO WASH
INGTON

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April ~
The federal district court of south
ern California, moved here bodily
o take testimony in the famous
Southern Pacific oil land cases,
heard testimony by the government
designed to prove that the railroad
patented through fraud its title 10
California lands worth more than
half a billion dollars. The govern
ment is seeking to set aside the
patents.
Judge Benjamin f. Bledsoe
brought his court across the con
tinent instead of having an exam
iner take the testimony, because he
wanted to hear it personally. The
proceeding Unusual in the an
nails of American Jurisprudence.
Numbers of government officials
will testify here who would have
been unable to go to California for
the trial.
Land office records were intro
duced by the government to sup
port it's allegations hat the railroad.
in filing on more than 100000
acres, swore falsely that land from
which the railroad is now obtaining
all its fuel oil contained no oil.
This land was obtained by the road
under the grant of 1866, which pro-
vided that no mineral lands could
go to railroads. Some of it was
set aside by the government as fuel
oil lands for the navy.
Six cases are pending against
the railroad. but under an agree
ment approved by the court the case
now being tried will serve as a rec
ord of evidence for all. The first
case was brought in 1912 and the
first testimony was taken in San
Francisco last January. The court
then moved to Los Angeles. A plea
that the statute of limitations holds
in the cases has been overruled by
Judge Bledsoe.
r. w. Aiken of the land office,
the first witness examined, declared
it easy for a railroad to obtain oil
through fraud, because of the
office. In the big grants. he said,
land office officials were compelled
to accept the affidavits of the rail-
roads that the land contained no
oil, as they could not make per-
sonal examination.

TO
TUNGSTEN FIND

The Carson News says that A.. A..
Monnette returned to Carson City
yesterday from Yerington and
states hat every available auto
and conveyance had been pressed
into service to rush to a new tung-
and which created a great commo-
ton among the entire population in
that town.
A number of auto loads of local
men left this city early this nor
ing for the scene of the reported
strike and more definite news OF
it's magnitude will be known upon
their return.
Superintendent Drysdale and
Messrs. Beckwith and Lent of this
city, who left for the strike early
this morning returned this after
noon They state that the strike
has been made about 5 miles north
of Towle's ranch in the foothills
towards Ramsey, the claims on
which the ore was found being To-
Gated by Cameron and Ross OF
Yerington. The latter have made
acid tests of the ore, which it is
claimed shows tungsten, and SAM
pies have been sen away for analy-
sis to determine the percentage.
What the strike amounts to is not
yet known. There is considerable
excitement in the vicinity and the
ground has been located for 10
miles around. Samples were brought
back OF the ore which is supposed
to contain tungsten.

II EWELLYN is
IN THE MONEY

81 have no job; 1 have TO
home; I'm broke and sad at heart
disconsolately grumbled D.. S.
Llewellyn yesterday, as he re-
counted eight years of joyful and
hopeful toll in his mines at Round
Mountain. He has sold his mines
out there for a sum that is printed
in six figures and as he finished his
doleful remark, he dropped two gold
bricks on the reporters table, each
worth $4,000.
That's about the tail end of my
cleanup at Round Mountain" he
continued with an air that showed
how a particular mining camp can
become so dear to a miner that
be actually feels broke and busted.

transferring his activities else

Llewellyn came to Tonopah to
Neet Theodore A. Bell, who arrives
Today from San Francisco to look
at tungsten properties owned by
Llewellyn at Manhattan and Round
Mountain. He will later operate his
quicksilver property in Napa coun-
ty. CAL, which consists of some
1000 acres.
The two gold bricks came from
some quartz workings that Llewellyn
had reserved from the property

brick came from "a tons of rock

extracted from a 64-foot hole on the

production from the slopes and 9TH
err producing sections of the mine
has been made during the past
week.
The sustained advance in the
price of silver will be of great
benefit to the Jim Butler, as well
as to other producing properties
of Tonopah, which have stored their
silver in anticipation of a rise.
At the Desert Queen shaft work
ings on the fifth level there is
no change reported in SOC west
drift, which continues to advance
in ~trachyte.
East drift 513 continued to ad-
vance during the week on about
a foot of low grade ore and the
usual distance was made during
the weeks operation.
West End Consolidated
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company shipped to the smell
on April T.. The shipment weighed
57,279 ounces, with a valuation Of
%$42,O59.25.
At the mine satisfactory prog
ress is reported at the various
points where development and pro-
duction work is being carried on.
Further stopping work vas un-
dertaken on the 500 level and no
change is reported from the gen
orally satisfactory showings in the
Slopes. Extraction vas carried on
in three different Slopes on this
level and a good grade of ore
was furnished in normal quaint
ties from each of the Slopes.
Rescue Eula Mine
The usual progress is reported
in the drift and other workings
on the vein recently encountered
at the 950-foot depth in the Res
cue Eula Mining company's ground.
The face of the drift has now
advanced a distance of about 1875
feet from the crosscut which IN
tersected the vein and throughout
this entire length the vein has been
continuously exposed. The ore as
it is broken down from these de-
velopment operations, with ordi-
nary sorting, is all going to the
mill for reduction.
Raises Nos. l and 2 were ad-
vanced continuously during the
week, and both raises are going Up
on ore of good grade.
A shipment of about 100 tons
was made during the week to the
West End mill, which will show
very good returns.
Since operations were started in
the Slope at the MacNamara Min
ing company's ground, about a
month ago, there have been shipped
from the mine to the West End
mill slightly more than 200 on OF
ore.
One carload weighing about so
tons was shipped last week from
the Cash Boy Mining company's
property to the Belmont mill at

OF BIG TONNAGE AND GOOD GRADE

Millers, and the returns Melted a
little over SIS per ton. Another
shipment is being prepared now,
which will be ready about next
Wednesday, and the appearances of
the orc indicate that a much bet
ter return will be obtained from
this coming shipment.
Timbering the shaft at the North
Star was completed the latter part
of last week, since which time
active development work has been
in progress. On the $50 level a
drift is following the vein, which
now shows two feet of ore of ok
cellent milling grade.
A crosscut is being run on the
500 intermediate level and the
usual progress was made during
the past week.
The north crosscut on the 1900
level that is being run to connect
with the Halifax has progressed at
the rate of four feet a day during
the past week. leaving but 43 feet
between the workings of the two
mines. Barring the possibility OF
some unforeseen delay it is expected
that the connection will be mace
during the coming week.-Tonopah
