II. II. HUNTER ENTHUSED
OVER COMBINED ESTATE

Before leaving for his home in
Reno Saturday night, H. H. Hunter,
Sr., well known mining engineer,
expressed his enthusiasm owe the
property of the Rochester Combined
Mines company, which he inspected
last week.
Mr.. Hunter was shown over the
tunnels and o%rebodies of the big
estate and spent nearly the entire
day familizarizing himself with the
property. He vas especially pleased
with the showing in the Shepherd
tunnel, where the orebody has al
ready been proved for a width of a
hundred feet.
"The Rochester Combined Mines
property showing is the best | have
seen in many days" he said

said to have struck on his shoulders
and for some time his limbs were
paralyzed. He has partly regain

eral condition is better. That he
was not killed outright is regarded
as nothing less than a miracle.

RICH PLATINUM IS
FOUND ON PLATING
FIND CONSIDERED ONE OF MOST
IMPORTANT MADE IN
WEEKS

The PLATING is exceeding all the
expectations OF even the most en-
thusiastic. Following the various
favorable developments of the past
few weeks, the property is brought
most prominently before the public
by the announcement by Superin-
tendent Springer that another big
body of high-grade platinum-copper
ore was encountered Wednesday,
March Z. Over a ton daily of ship
ping ore is being taken out. The
new orebody is said to be one of the
finest showing ever seen in the
district.
The development work done on
the Platino during the past few
days has been most gratifying to
the management. Work has been
going on for less than two months,
but already it looks as if the judg-
ment of those who are most heavily
interested would be more than vim
Dictated.
Superintendent Springer has been
wasting no time in following his
plan of development. The copper
ore which was followed in the tun-
mel began widening at the outset.
After driving a distance of about 20
feet the ore appeared to dip into the
hill and was followed with a winze.
after proceeding 90 or 80 feet in
the winze, a streak of high-grade
copper ore about two feet in width
was opened. This appears to be
the strongest value yet found and
Superintendent Springer speaks very
enthusiastically about the showing.
He states that if the present ore
continues he will be shipping within
80 days and that the ore already
taken out will more than pay the
expenses so far incurred.
The formation is very similar to
that of the Boss and Orc Amigo in
that slight traces of gold and
platinum have been encountered.
This result was more than was
dreamed of by eve the most en-
thusiastic of it's promoters. and
it looks as if the Boss might pos
sibly soon have a rival. But even
without that prospect, if the present
copper value persists. the property
will be a splendid dividend payer.
The company is particularly for
tunate in having two such reliable
and conservative men as Mausard
and Jameson at its nead.-Good-
springs Gazette.

NEVADA DOUGLAS
SHIPPING COPPER
PRODUCTION AVERAGES THREE
CARLOADS OF ORE
DAILY

The Nevada Douglas Consolidated
Copper company is shipping to the
smelter an average of about three
carloads of ore a day. The ore car
ries sufficient metal to yield smelter
returns or approximately S1OO,OOo
per month after deducting the cost
of freight and treatment charges.
On ccount of the fact that some OF
the miners employed are doing de-
velopment work on narrow string
ers of high-grade ore and others on
larger bodies, coupled with the tact
that a considerable number are re-
auired to sort ores to hold the
grades so that it can be shipped with
profit. it is difficult to determine
exactly the cost of mining. HOW
ever. considering the fact that the
monthly pay roll at the mine aver
ages about 100000, the net proht
to the company is in the n
hood of S60,0 900 on the ore shipped.
The output of the teaching plant
is being forced upward to its ca
pacity of ESQ tons per day. Careful
estimates justify the statement That
the ore treated at the teaching plant
will average three per cent copper
or 60 pounds to the ton. With the
estimated loss. of 10 per cent In us
treatment, this reduces the produc-
ton to 54 pounds of metal to the
ton. The cost of treatment is about
six cents per pound. Treatment OF
| 25O tons per day means the extrac-
ton of 1880 pounds of copper
each day from the plant. AT a
net price of 25 cents per pound the
resulting income will amount to So
375 per day, or $1,215,O0O per yeaS.
The Nevada Douglas company
owns about SO per cent of the stocn
of the Nevada Copper Belt railroad
which is now earning a net
of about s125,000 per year, after
paying all expenses and allowing for
interest, upkeep and depreciation.
AS there is every reason to believe
! that conditions will continue as they
are now and the demand for metal
viii be active for at least another
year. il is not at all improbable that

Then the report comes from Wash
ington that a host of vultures are de-
scending on the departments, de-
manding commissions for personal
friends who up to now knew nothing
about military work. Now officers
are going to be short, and the officials
may think they have excuse for max
ing appointments of unframed men on
the basis of the promises they hold
out, if5not on personal pull.
1t will be fatal to the morale OF
the army if the idea spreads that ap-
pointments are going to be made
through political influence. The
men who have been doing the hard
work of the training camps and who
now are taking their work in these
camps must be given the preference
over the friends of politicians.
