ROCHESTER, New March 90
Affairs in mining are moving
along rapidly throughout this dis
trict, AMI students OF the situation
3Ie confident that this summer will
he the most active in its history from
the ar:Cu standpcirts of develop
mnct. PRODUCTION, increase in milling
facilities and general investment.
Construction on the first unit of a
20I-ttr r1ill for the Nenzel-Crown
Point company is to be started about
May 1, according to the present plans
of the company. 1t is probable that
the oil flotation process will be used
in the treatment of the sulphide
ores of the mine and experiments in
dictate that the same method can be
successfully applied to the sulphide
ores. Cyanide will probably be used
in the treatment of some of the ore.
The mill will be located in American
canyon on the east slope of Mcneil
hill, 500 feet from the portal of the
pIcScuL Ihlu6 tuullCl VII thdI L u
and 400 feet below that level, mine
and mill to be connected by surface
tram. 1t is estimated that there Is
now practically in sight and avail
able in the mine a four-year run of
profitable ore.
The raise from the Pitt-NeHzel
tunnel level to connect with the
Crown Point workings, 800 feet
above, is going up at the rate of
about five feet a day, and good head
way is being made in the winze that
is being sent down on the Zero vein
from the Crown Point tunnel level
to meet the raise. This winze is
now being sunk in a large body of
splendid milling ore, but the ore may
soon depart IN it's dip away from
the more vertical course of the
winZe.

of it's favorable development and To-
cation between the Rochester Merger
on the north and Rochester Com

work is being pushed in two tunnels.
Three feet of ore that shows good
paintings in gold has just been open
ed in No. 2 raise from the Higgins
tunnel on the Sunflower vein, but
development has not progressed
enough to determine it's extent. In
the Siler King tunnel the west cross
cut has encountered a strong fault
zone which may be favorable for an
ore body in that neighborhood.

OAK SPRINGS IS
COMING TO FRONT
SEVERAL PROPERTIES HAVE
BEEN ENTERED AMONG
LIST OF SHIPPERS

The new district at Oak Springs,
some 60 miles north or Indian
Springs, has been coming to the
front rapidly during the last few
weeks. Excellent shipping ore IS
being taken from the prospects To-
Gated there and three trucks are
now busy hauling the ore to the
shipping point at Indian Springs
and a fourth truck has been pur-
chased and will be in commission
next week.
The Paramount claim, owned by
Mcleod and Wyckoff and leased to
C. w. Gilbert, has two feet of ship

their property.
Billy Walker, formerly deputy
sheriff of Nye county, and Billy
Grimes, formerly recorder and audi

Cannot Buy Birds

With the money subscribed for
the importation of six dozen Bob
White quail for propagation in the
Lovelock valley, a hitch in the plans
of the Bob White club occurred with
the arrival of a telegram stating that
there was no chance of purchasing
the birds this spring. Members of
the club are wiring to points in the
middle west in an attempt to learn
where the birds can be obtained,
but at present the chance for pur-
chasing them this spring appears
small.

CRESCENT MINE
IS IN FINE ORE
OFFICIAL MAKES STATEMENT
SHOWING CONDITION OF
PROPERTY

James E. Keelyn, president of the
Crescent Consolidated Mines COM
pany, with lead and gold properties
at Crescent, has issued a statement
to stockholders, which reads in part
as follows:
AT a special meeting of the
stockholders at Las Vegas on March
. matters of vital interest were de-
termined.
The reports all indicated improv-
ed conditions respecting the COM
pany's affairs. Out of 100000
shares of capital stock there were
reported sold $4,000, leaving 1907
600 shares remaining in the treas
ury.
The treasurer's report showed
that the current liabilities were in
significant, while the were
sufficient to cover further develop
ment, Notwithstanding that a large
amount of money had been expended
in acquiring additional extra prop
critics.
1T will be remembered that the
Crescent Consolidated Mines com
pany started it's operations with five
mining claims in adjoining groups,
and that our prospectus called atten-
ton to hopes of acquiring additional
property which would create one con-
solidated group, permitting the an
nual work to be concentrated upon
n or more favorable places instead
of scattering it from claim to claim
throughout the year. Therefore,
within six months WI have accomp-
lished this extraordinary purpose in
a complete and satisfactory manner.
To-day the Crescent Consolidated
owns, subject to the paramount title
of the United States, 25 splendid
mining claims in one group, consti-
tuting nearly 500 acres. 1t may be
said that the additional claims will
average much greater in value than
the five original claims. While these
additions to the company's asset val
ues do not appear in the nature of
dividend checks, they do constitute
llitCIldliy lIitiS dSCu NdluO W lie
stock in the proportions above indi-
Gated.
"In the ourse of negotiations
still under way with large capital
and mining interests, additional
values to the stockholders will I'M
doubtedly accrue. This cannot be
definitely stated at this time for pub
lication, but the writer suggests
that they are of sufficient value to
commend our present stockholders
in retaining their holdings, and so
far as possible acquire additional
stock holdings Immediately.
AT the outset of this enterprise
there was very little activity in the
Crescent district which gradually
increased from showings that we
and some others are making, With
in a month a large amount of prop
erty has changed hands to import
ant mining interests of Salt Lake
City. Los Angeles, Denver and Ne
vada cities. The property known as
the Keelyn mine has passed into
the hands of one of the wealthiest
and most important groups of min
ing men in America, under an or
SANITATION known as Calnevada Con-
solidated Mines. They have placed .
large amount of money in the bank
contemplating extensive develop
ments, which have already opened
large bodies of rich silver-lead ore.
and preparations for heavy shipments
thereof are o under way"

ROCHESTER MINES NOW SHOWING
UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY

between walls. Developments in 9TH
ell portions of the mine are holding
up their normal splendid showing.
Rochester Combined Mines
l.. A. Friedman announces that
preliminaries are going ahead rapid
ly for early construction on the first
3O0-ton unit of the proposed 600
ton mill on the Rochester Combined
property. The equipment will con-
sist of a big gyratory crusher, from
which the ore will pass to ball mills
loaded with 10000 pounds of steel
balls ranging down from five inches
in diameter to about two inches.
Tube mills will regr1nd this ore and
it will ultimately pass to cyanide
tanks 80 feet wide and 3S feet high.
The solutions will then pass through
filters and the precipitates will be
turned into bullion.
Mr.. Friedman states that he plans
to install electric automatic machin-
cry wherever possible to cut down
mining and operating costs to the
minimum. The mucking in the
mines will be handled automatically
as far as possible and when develop
ment has advanced sufficiently to
justify, electric tram cars will be OPP
Grated in the mines and delier the
ore to the mill. The entire equip
ment will be along the most modern
lines available. Two new 100 h.. p.
compressors have been ordered.
Underground developments con-
tinue of a most favorable character,
the ore body in the Shepherd tun-
mel having been opened by crosscut
for 1O7 feet, and drifts are now be-
ing extended upon it. Other work
is opening additional deposits of
good ore.
Lincoln Hill Operations
The Lincoln Hill M. & M. company
is producing a good quantity of me-
dunn and high grade ore which is
being reduced to gold bullion at the
company's two-stamp mill in lower
Rochester. An effort is also being
made for a connection for ventila-
ton between the 2OO-foot and the
level above, after which operations
can be speeded up in stopping and
drifts can be extended on the 300
foot level to investigate a body of ore
that has commenced to show high
silver values in connection with the
gold.
A shipment of good ore is now be-
ing prepared by the lessees on the
Buck and Charlie, which is making
an encouraging showing.
Lessees on the Flunkey are still
drifting on the tunnel level and pro-
ducing ore for another shipment in
the near future. The last shipment
of SO tons is understood to have av-
eraged about SIS per ton.
~Crosscutting east and west is in
progress from the tunnel on the
Home Trail to open the vein or veins
that are the source of the h~igh-grade
float that has been found on this
property, which indicates the close
proximity of a large body Of good
ore. Two veins, known as the East
and West veins, are being sought at
depth.

Ecorse yards. r. 4. McCarty. vice
president OF the lines west OF Pitts

this year. This activity indicates
that the war will not interfere with
