improvements are taking tangible
form.
Manhattan Consolidated
The present mining work at the
Consolidated consists of cutting the
station at a point los feet below the
third level, 42O feet below the sur
face. AS soon as tie station is COM
pleted a stump of about 20 feet will
be put in below the level, and then
the sinking pump will be installed
to care for any water developed dur
ing the lateral development work
which will be next on the program
for some time to come.

The lease operating on the first
block of Union 9 cl.-im of the Dexter
company has just completed it's ini-
tial milling in the War Eagle mill.
The lessees, Hilbert and Cantwell,

plate returns of nearly $50 per ton.
Two other sets of lessees r ex-
tracing ore of high average values.

The footage gained during the
week ending Sept. 10 in the Anal
gamated property from the 600-foot
level is as follows: North cross-cut
from Earl fault advanced IA feet, a
total of IA feet; No. 9 .cross-cut,
east, advanced % feet, a total of rs
feet; south cross-cut on Earl fault
advanced 20 feet, a total OF 20
feet: No. 9 south cross-cut, east, ad-
vanced 3 feet, a total of 5 feet. To-
tai footage for week, ~ feet.
Due to the presence of gas in the
was dropped the first of the week to
allow the the workings to ventilate
between shifts. The water flow in
the Mushett ore shoot has decreased
to such an extent that development
has again been started on this ore
body. The north cross-cut on the
ore has been advanced IA feet to
the footwall and has disclosed two
feet of ore near the hanging wall of
the ledge which averages 5000 per
ton. The east drift from No. Z cross
cut encountered a broken lime for
nation, but is again in a full
lace of mill grade ore. The south
cross-cut on the Earl fault has been
advanced 20 feet on the south ore
shoot and the ledge is opening up
exceedingly well, in free gold ore,
carrying values well above the aver
age mill grade of ore. The hanging
wall side of the cross-cut is in a
very heavy shale formation, necessi-
tating close timbering to hold the
ground. Taking into consideration
the various faces of ore exposed,
conditions point to a very heavy ton
mage of ore reserves being developed
in the continuation of the present
work in the eastern section of the
Amalgamatei property.
Rel Top ReOrganiZed
The Red Top in the resumption of
sinking operations is developing a
considerable flow of water and the
sinking work is necessarily slow I'M
til the section of country adjoining
the shaft is drained. The bottom of
the company shaft is now 120 feet
below the surface. The equip
ment just installed has made the
sinking possible, as without an air
compressor to operate the sinking
pump and also the jackhammer
drills it would be impossible to keep
the flow of water within bounds.
White Caps and Zanzibar
The joint company shaft of the
White Caps Extension and Zanzibar
Mining companies has now passed
through 40 feet of the limestone belt.
This belt is supposed to be about 80
feet thick, dipping at an angle of
Sc degrees. This will bring the
shaft through the belt of limestone
at about the 300-foot point, where
the first station will be cut. The
present depth of the shaft is 21O
feet. Since encountering the present
formation the speed of sinking has
been much retarded. The surface

beyond the point where the vein
dips out of the Red Hill company's
ground and into that of the Flor
ence company.
Raises have been started from the
main drifts on the 500-foot level,
at three points, to explore the vein
on it's dip above the old Florence
lease slopes and when a sufficient
height is reached, drifts are to be
extended in the vein with the OBJ
ject of picking up the ore-shoot that
was worked in the adjoining Rogers
Syndicate lease.
Farther south a raise was driven
so feet vertically above the 500
foot level, when a drift was advan-
ced for some distance and another
raise is being driven from this drift
and is now in the vein and showing

exposed in the search for deposits
of shipping ore and provision will
be made for marketing this product

KANROHAT MINE IS SOLD

CONTINUED From Page One).
York men who expended about $780,
900 in erecting a modern stamp mill
and in preparing for operations on
a broad scale. The deal finally col
lapsed, however, and the mill, prac-
ticaly complete in every detail, has
never turned a wheel.
Under the new ownership the
mill is to be remodeled and will be
put in operation at the earliest pos
siblt moment, with a minimum ca
pacity of 100 tons daily. Stamps
will be replaced by a ball mill and
the treatment process will combine
cyanidation and oil flotation. Man
ager Brady has had the property
and all workings and dumps care
fully sampled and the results show
that there are many thousands of
tons of pay ore on the dumps and
blocked out in the mine. Men and
supplies are being sent to the mine
and development work will proceed
while the mill is being remodeled.
The Round Mountain correspond
ent of the Tonopah Times contributes
to that paper the following interest
ing matter regarding past and pre-
sent conditions in the district:
AS far back as in the early seven
ties the old Jefferson mine became
known as one of the greatest white
metal producers in the world. At
the centennial exposition held in
Philadelphia in 1876, the Jefferson
was awarded the premium, ore hav-
ing been exhibited that carried val
ues of 65 per cent silver. This mine
has been worked to a depth of 700
feet and can still boast of an ore
body four feet wide hat will mill
40 ounces in silver a ton.
The formation of Jefferson can
yon is granite, lime, rhyolite, por-
phyry and quartzite. The values
are in gold, silver, lead, zinc, anti
mony and copper, with silver pre-
dominating. The granite hills on
the south have numerous stringers
of tungstite.
At the head of the canyon lie
twelve claims owned by George
Sopp. The lodes make a splendid
gold showing and by virtue of their
locality should develop into paying
propositions.
Next is to be found four claims
owned by John Sewers, and some of
the best gold specimens ever seen in
Nevada were taken from this
ground.
The KanrOhat property is next.
On this ground large silver lodges
are to be traced east and west. and
which dip to the north.
Joining the Kanrohat property on
the north are the Charles claims,
the lodges running easterly and
westerly and dipping to the north,
with good silver and gold values eX-
posed in many places.
+ To the north and on the same
hill lies the Sewers silver property.
The lodges u easterly and wester-
ly and dip to the south, suggesting
deep mining at the center of the
hill. Promising ground owned by
E. E. Grygla comes next
The Cash Rock claims, with a
contact of lime and quartzite are
next. Numerous stringers of ga
lena and zinc, containing silver. are
to be found on this ground. There
is also an intrusion of porphyry
which carries a small per cent of
copper through the lime.
The gold placer district is most
promising. 1t has a length of five
miles and small values can readily
be obtained. No one has yet seer

POTASH OUTPUT
GROWS RAPIDLY
PREDICTION MADE THAT PhD
SENT YEAR WILL SET
RECORD

More potash has been produced
during the first six months of 1917
than was made during the entire
year 1916. The reports received
by the u. S. geological survey, de-
partment of the interior, have peer
reduced to terms of the commercial
unit commonly used to
the available or w~ater-soluble pot
ash (K2O) in the product, and only
material actually sold by the pro-
Queer during this period is includ-
ed. The weight of the materials
handled was therefore much greater
than represented by these figures.
The Nebraska alkali lakes still
lead, having yielded about one-third
the entire production. There are
now at least four important opera
tors in this field.
The production from tSearles
Lake, Cal, would undoubtedly be
materially assisted by passage OF
the legislation now before the
house of representatives dealine
with the leasing of potash-bearing
lands. Continued uncertainty as
to the stands of titles to this pro-
perty has hampered development of
this important deposit.
No production is reported from
feldspar or other silicate rocks, but
considerable quantities of potash
salts and potash bearing fertilizers
were obtained from the dust in ce-
ment mills and blast furnaces.
The production from kelp was
about Is per cen of the total, as
it was in 1916.
Potash from distillery slop and
other organic sources made Is per
cent or of the total.
The production of potash from
wood ashes, including first Sorts
"pearlash," and other grades, is
supposed to have been much great
er than it was in 1916, but reports
from these producers have been
much delayed and the figures OBJ
tanned thus far are probably not
representative. The potash made
from wood ashes thus far reported
amounted to 222 tons, which is
assumed to average at least so per
cent K2O. This is perhaps too low.
but definite information as to the
grade of this material is difficult to
obtain.
The prices quoted range from
$3.50 to Sc a unit, a unit meaning
1 per cent of potash (K2O) in a
ton of the material as marketed
that is, a product carrying Is PED
cent K2O may be sold at 81 a unit
which would be 800 a ton for the
material marketed.
The figures given seem to indi-
cate that the production for 1917
will exceed $4,000 IONS of potash
(K2O) or two and one-half times
that made in 1916. This is about
10 per cent of the average normal
yearly consumption of the country
before the war, showing the need
of further stimulating domestic pro-
ductiOn of potash.
