OLD PAYMASTER
MINE IS BOUGHT
COMPANY WILL DEVELOP Thur
OUGHLY GROUND OF EXCEL
LENT PROMISE

The Nevada Ore and Copper COM
pany which already owns
mine holdings in the Fitting district,
Mineral county, added another
valuable property to their list, by
the recent acquisition by purchase
from Ed O'Shaughnessy n Ben
and Hayes Donnelly of the old Pay
master mine. The property is To-
Gated seven miles north of Acme
Siding and is reached by a good
road from this point.
The original strike which created
such a sensation In the Fitting dis
trict in 1907 was made on THIS
property, which upon the W1ngfleld
interests held a bond for $4,000,
and upon which considerable devel-
opment work IA done. Ihen
came the slump in the price of cop
per and the financial panic ana
operations were suspended. During
the boom, however, it was from this
property the native copper ana
cuprite were shipped. BY compel
ent mining engineers it is consider
ed a valuable estate and has all
the earmarks of developing into a
big mine.
At the present time development
work to tap the ore by a tunhel
from the bottom of the canyon Is
being rushed ahead. This tunnel
will give about 200 feet greater
depth than acquired in the older
working and afford a much more
economical and cheaper mining
and loading cost than the old sys-
TEN of packing the ore down on
horses. from the upper workings.
Shipments made by the former
owners ran from IL per cent to ~
per cent copper. The ore Is chrys-
ocolla. cuprite and malachite with
FREQUENT occurrences of native cop
per. A camp has been established
the short additional roads neces-
sary to reach the ore-bins are be-
ing graded and energetic develop
ment work being done ID the
direction of superintendent Flick
1t is confidently expected that
the company will soon join the llst
of shippers from Mineral coun-
ty and add to the prestige OF the

RED TRIANGLE TO give SERVICE
Of VITAL IMPORTANCE in War

The Red Triangle is in the war;
it is in to stay. and it's insignia will
be found with the Stars and Stripes
and the Red Cross throughout the
zone of hostilities and extending to
the interior of enemy countries. The
Red Triangle is the sign of service
adopted by the national war work
council of the Young Mems Christ
ian Associations of the United
States. The burden of war duty
assumed by this organization is of
colossal proportions and the good
hat will be accomplished through
its efforts will be of magnitude out
of all proportion to the amount of
money to be expended.
In announcing it's purposes, the

been called to guard and defend
the soldier boys from loneliness,
inconsistencies, discomfort, melancho-

alluring and destructive forms. The
functions of the organization are to

TOWN
SWEPT BY FIRE
$780, 900 Is ESTIMATED AS FIRE
LOSS IN ELY DIS
TRICT

Riepetown, that bustling commun-
ity situated almost midway between
the two great copper porphyries was
almost completely destroyed by a
disastrous fire about 6:15 o'clock
last night. Only one building is left
standing on the main street. The
loss is estimated at 800, 600, none
of which is covered by insurance.
The blaze started in the Alpha ho-
tel, conducted by Frank Morris. 1t
is supposed to have bee caused by
the overturning of an acetylene
lanp. The wind was in "a vicious
mood, and when flames were issu-
ing nom the sec.n nd story o! the
Alpha, old timers realized that the
hour of destruction was near at
hand.
The main street was soon trans
formed into a fiery furnace. With
out even the semblance of fire pro-
lection. operty owners tried to
confin1 nc path of the flames to a
restricted area, but it was without
avail.
rne Alpha hotel was soon leveled
to the ground, the flames feasting
greedy on the dry hulk of lumbe'.
The fire continued in an easterly di-
r~ection, leveling everything that
tended to interfere with the work
of destruction.
Riepetown is nothing but a mass
of ruins. Two buildings We're saved
from the stricken area. They stand
like grim specters among the black
ened hull, silent momentoes of what
was once a prosperous community.
.Riepetown was a community
thrObbing with life when it was left
q pile of smoking ruins in 1908 by a
disastrous fire That swept away
every business house and residence.
The llaze was caused by the over
turning of a gasoline lamp. That
time Riepetown boosted of numerous
tw o-story buildings. When The era
of rebuilding was ushered in prop
erty owners erected structures that
were less expensive, being possessed
of the belief that without good fire
projection ii would be foolish TO
adopt different tactics .-White Pine

COPPER OUTPUT
SHOWS BIG RISE
LAST YEARS PRODUCTION IN
THIS COUNTRY REACHED
VAST FIGURES

The smelter production of primary
copper in the United States in 1915
was l.92S, 000. OC1 hounds. compared
with 1855, 900 900 pounds in 1915,
an increase of 80 per cent. The to-
tai value of the output in 1916 at an
average price of 24.6 cents a pound
is $474,2SS,0 900, compared with
100000 for 1915.
The total is made up of fine cop
per contents of blister produced and
Of the smelter output of ingot and
anode copper from Michigan.
The total production of new re-
fined copper in 1916 was 2,259 .0O0,-
900 pounds, an increase of 625, 0O0.-
900 pounds from the output in 1915.
Some lake copper was refined at
seaboard plants and doubtless mar
keted under some brand other
than lake. This has been excluded
from the lake copper.
The separation of refined copper
into metal of domestic and foreign
origin is only approximate as an ac-
curate separation at this stage of
manufacture is not possible.
The average price Of also. 00O.-
600. 900 pounds of copper delivered
in 1916. as reported to the United
States geological survey by selling
agents, wa 24.5S cents per pound.
In addition to the secondary ma
terial treated by the regular refin-
ing companies, plants that treated
secondary material exclusively pro-
duced a total of about SIS 100000
pounds of copper as copper and in
brass and other alloys of copper.
making a total production of 662,-
600 900 pounds from secondary
sources. OF the total at least 25O.-
600 900 pounds was produced by re-
melting clean scrap produced In the
manufacture of copper and brass ar
ticles.
If the output of plants treating
purely secondary material is added
to the production or the regular re-
filming companies, the contribution
from plants in the United States to
the worlds supply Of copper for
1916 is found to be 2,922. 600. 600
pounds.
In addition to the output OF metal
lie copper the regular refining COM
panies produced bluestone with a
copper content of 14,O43, 915 pounds.
In addition to the stocks of min
ed copper, there were reported as at
the smelters, in transit to the ref1n-
ers, and at the refineries, blister
copper and material in process of re-
ining to the amount of 424 100000
pounds on January 1. 1917, compar-
ed with pa, 5000 pounds on jan

The apparent consumption OF re-
lined new copper in the United States
in 1916 was 1,429, 1926 pounds.
In 1915 it was 1,O43,461,9 S2 pounds,
If to the 1,429,755,26G pounds of
new refined copper is added the 594-
