GOLDF|ELD STOCKS
ACTIVE IN n. Y.
have SHOWN MARKED ADVANCE
DURING PAST FEW
DAYS

Announcement that the first unit
in the new flotation process plant
of the Goldficld Consolidated Mines
company is to be started soon has
Inspired such a revival of interest
in the sares of the Goldfield camps
enterprises as has not been noted
for more than a year. Extensive
buying operations have been indul-
ged in in all these issues in the
New York Curb Market within the
last two days, rs it has been felt
that the values of all the properties
in that camp have been greatly en-
HANGED by the installation and plac-
ing in commission of this plant,
which is to have Immediately a 1000
ton capacity and later is to have a
still greater output.
Under the wave of renewed pur-
chasing, Goldfield Consolidated
stock rose from sc cents to 80
cents a share while Atlantic advan-
ced from 16R to 20 cents; Gold
field Merger from 7h to So cents;
Kewanas, from IS to 20 cents and
Silver Pick from % 10 25 cents. In
the last two hours of trading alone,
the turnover of the Goldfield stocks
was in excess of 100, 900 shares.
The operation of the Goldfield
Consolidated company's flotation
plant, for the recovery of metals by
this relatively new and highly eff
cient process, was delayed at first
BY a lack of adequate electric power
service and by the necessity for ar
ranging different methods of sup
plying power from those employed
under the cyanidation process. II
is certain that the new process will
prove a complete success in treat
ing the company's refractory ore

NEW ORE VEIN
ROCHESTER MINES
GREAT RESERVES OF ORE SAID
TO BE EXPOSED IN
WORKINGS

Development work at the Ro-
chester Mines company's property
ir the Rochester district, Humboldt
county, this week uncovered a new
vein. according to official announce
ment today.
The new vein has never before
been prospected, or known to exist,
and is an important addition to the
ore reserve on the company's pro-
perty.
"Some time ago, we started an
upraise on the 250-foot level to
connect with the surface for de-
velopment and ventilation pur-
pcses'' said a statement from the
management today.
This raise broke through to the
surface last week and to our sur
prise in addition to developing many
thousands of tons of ore to our ore
reserves, it has practically demon
strated that there exists within the
confines OF the Rochester Mines
property another vein.
I'VE have larger outcroppings of
mineralized quartz rock, near u
east side lines, which we expected
to penetrate in driving this raise.
However, the raise came to the sur
face on a vein forty feet west Of
this large mineralized cropping
which gives up all the reasons in
the world to believe that there is
another vein or ore body.
"As soon as the opportunity per-
mits we will start a cross-cut OF
our easterly cropping in order to
demonstrate and prove hat there
exists another vein from which no
ore whatever has been taken out.
lii to the present time"
The worst of the cold weather is
now over, and the difficulties which
we're experienced in getting the ore
transported from the mine to the
mill have largely been overcome, and
il the mean time, construction Of
the new aerial tramway is going
forward with great rapidity. 1t
will not be long before the company
will be able to transport their ore
for a distance of more than two
miles al a surprisingly low cost,
with the new automatic equipment
which is being installed.-Lovelock

VERA VI. & VI. co. PLANS TO
ERECT MILL OF 100 TONS
CAPACITY

The first flotation plant to be
erected in this section of the cour-
try, will be that of the Vera Mining
& Milling company at the Black
water mine, in the Kingston Noun
tains, in California, just across the
Nevada line and about II miles
south of Platina.
The plant will have a capacity of
100 tons per dy and will be the

feet wide in it's main shaft at a
depth of 115 feet. The values are
in lead and silver. The company
also has ample water from Horse
Thief springs to operate the plant
and for use at the mine. Careful
milling tests have been made and
the flotation system is found to
be well adapted to this class of ore.
The Vera NJ. & M. Co., is COM
posed of Seattle capitalists and min
ing men who purchased the Black
water claims. five in number, from

The company Is under the a
agement of ]. S. Airheart, formerly
OF Seattle under whose direction
the property has been successfully
developed and who will s%uperinten-
dent the installation of the new
plant. Mr.. Airheart is an exper-
fenced mining man and has been
successful in his operations since
his arrival in Southern Nevada
something like a year ago. He is
backed by ample capital and has
acquired interest in several other
good properties, among them being

Nilosovich Found Guilty

Guilty of murder in the second
degree" was the verdict returned
by the jury in the case of Christ
Milosovich, tried at Reno for the
murder of Joseph b. Campbell, a st.
Louis travelling man, in a road
house on Nov. 81. The penalty for
murder in the second degree is life
Imprisonment. Attorney A. A.
Heer of counsel for the defense
states that an appeal will be taken
to the supreme court. The jury was
out two hours and 10 minutes. he
verdict was the maximum under the
instructions given by Judge Stod-
dard, who said there was nothing in
the evidence to warrant a verdict OF
first degree murder. 1t was con-
tended by the prosecution that a
blow dealt Campbell by Milosovich
was the cause of his death. The
defense did not deny that Miloso-
vich used a siphon bottle on Camp
bell. but maintained that Campbell
fractured his skull by falling against
the wall while chasing Milosovich
around the room.

FREE ANALYSIS OF NEVADA
ORES IN MINING LAB
ORATORY

The Nevada State Mining Labora-
tory was established by an act of
the legislature of Nevada on March
16, 1895, to provide a method
whereby the citizens of the state
OF Nevada might have ores, miner
ais and rocks taken from within
the boundaries Of the state analy-
zed free of change. From the date
of it's establishment to the first of
January, 1917, the laboratory had
performed 57,357 determinations on
1895 samples submitted by 1851
individuals.
During the first ten years that
the laboratory was in operation it
was but little used and it was not
until the year 19O1-19O2 that its
work began to be Of Importance.
From that time on, the work of
the Nevada State Mining Labora-
tory steadily increased, until dur
ing the past two years when the
work increased with greater rapid
ity than ever before. The figures
OF 1915 are 25 per cent greater
than those of 1914, while the re-
turns for 1916 are more than 80
per cent above those of 1915. At
the present time al average of Z
samples is received daily at the
laboratory and about five determin-
ations are made upon each sam
pie.
The 81 substances tested for dur
ing the last years are shown on the
following list:
Aluminus, anthony, arsenic,
barium, bismuth, calcium, CARBON,
chromium. cobalt, copper, gold,
boron, cadmium, iron, caesium.
chlorine, florine. nitrogen. oxygen.
iridium, lead, lithium, magnesium.
manganese, mercury. molybdenum.

lium. tin, thorium, titanium, tung-
stem, potash, radium, selenium. sill
yer. sodium, nickel, palladium, phos-
phorus, rhodium, ~ruthenium, sill
con, tantalum, platinum, uranium,
vanadium, zinc, chromium.
Owing to the great increase in
the state laboratory work 1t was
found necessary to employ a spe-
cial chemist to perform most of tn q
determinations and last summer
Mr.. V. M. Henderson was appoint
ed assistant in the state mining
laboratory. A portion Of the work
is still performed by Professors Pal
mer and Jones, and the laboratory
is under the supervision of Dir &C.

GATHERING SAMPLES
FOR CHAMBER OF MINES

Mrs. George f. Roth, wife of one
of the owners of the Monte Christie
lease, is making a collection of sam
pies of ore from the mines of the
Yellow Pine mining district for the
purpose of establishing a department
in the cabinets of the chamber OF
mines in Los Angeles devoted to
the ores of this district.
This enterprise is a most laudable
one, and every mine owner in the
district should cooperate with Mrs.
Roth in making this exhibit a not
able one. The samples are to be
properly labeled, showing the name
of the mine, the content of the ore.

the present time three men are at
work driving the lower tunnel
through to cut the vein al a depth
of 1000 feet from the surface.
The parties now in control have

sight to Justify the erection Of a
mill, plans for which are now in
preparation.
The mine was located in 1859 and
was another one of those famous
properties which created consider
able excitement in the early sixties
and as a result of which the old
camp of Humboldt sprang into ex
istence and flourished for a num-
Der of years.

CHILDREN
AGAIN SHIFTED
REMOVED FROM OASIS RANCH
TO SOME POINT YET
UNKNOWN

1t now appears that the four
Healy children, who we're remov-
ed from the jurisdiction of the dis
trict court of Esmeralda county to
the Oasis ranch across the line in
California have again been removed
to some point as yet unknown.
1t was reported to Coldfield on
Sunday that they had passed
through Beatty on Saturday night
about midnight, in spite of the fact
that all roads of egress were being
watched and guarded. 1t is also
reported that they passed through
Ida a few hours earlier. Sheriff
ingalls, stated to a representative
Of the Tribune today that Martin,
who is reported to have taken the
four children to Oasis, left here
Saturday morning and that his trip
was reported to have no connection
with the Healy children or their re-
moval. This is now under invesri-
CATION.
1t is now "a days since these
four children were taken by force
from the custody to which they had
been committed by the court. 1t
is 80 days since they were removed
from the jurisdiction of the court,
after having spent two days out of
legal custody within two blocks of
the court house.

JARBIDGE SHOWS ACTIVITY As
RESULT OF NEW
STRIKE

The future of Jarbidge is no Ion.
ger speculative. The recent strike
in the Long Hike Mine, owned and
operated by the Elkora company.
absolutely insures the permanency
of the camp, and it makes that pro-
perty one of the greatest gold mines
in the United States.
: In the lowest working level of
the Long Hike, a tunnel which is
in a distance of thirteen hundred
feet, the ore body has been en-
countered, and the vein shows the
same strength and values as in the
upper workings. 1t is nearly fit
teen feet wide, the ore is of the
same character, a soft quartz for
nation, and average samples show
values of upwards of twenty dollars
a ton. The strike adds not only
millions of dollars to the value Of
the Long Hike, but increases the
value of every other property in
the district, for 1t demonstrates that
the ore body has depth, which here
tofore has been a matter of specu-
lation.
The Importance of this discovery
cannot be overestimated, particular
lv in the face of the fact that one
mining expert after another has
given the opinion that the ore body
in Jarbidge is only a surface en-
riohment. The greatest depth
where ore was had before vas four
hundred feet, and at that time ac-
cording to statement made by N.
b. Mure, who was for a long time
prominently identified with the Elk
ora company, more than five mil
lion dollars worth of ore was block
ed out. The recent strike fully dou-
bles this amount.
Over six thousand feet of develp-
I ment work has been done on the
Long Hike property. Three tun-
nels have been driven, each a dis
lance of twelve hundred to four
teen hundred feet. The W upper
tunnels are on the vein the entire
distance, but in the lower tunnel
the vein was missed. 1t parallels
the vein. and was encountered by
means of a cross-cut near h face.
The ore body is n of the largest
known, varying in width from
twelve feet to thirty-six feet. The
face of all the tunnels is a strong
ore body.
No other property in the district
has been developed to any consid-
cradle depth, but this strike Will
undoubtedly stimulate extensive de-
velopment. There are a number of
other properties which hold as rich
promise as the Long Hike did when
the same amount of work was done.
Besides the Long Hike properly,
which consists Of three claims, the
Elkora company has acquired the
Jarbidge Gold, the Starlight, the
Buckeye and the Flake properties.
The only other properties in the
district which have been worked to

HEAVY OUTPUT SILVER LEAD
ORE NOW BEING HAULED
TO MARKET

The Groom mining district in
Lincoln county is due for a big
boom this spring according to the
Phoebe Record and at the present
time is creating considerable in
terest and attracting more men
than can be cared for in the new
camp.
One property, the Groom of
big" mine, is employing sixty-five
men at present and expects to have
at least 100 on the payroll within
two more months. This property
is owned by Tom Osborne, John
W heatley and others and is under
the management of Tom McCoT-
mac.
1t is located fifty miles from the
nearest railroad at Indian Springs
and the transportation problem has
been solved by the use Of auto
trucks and caterpillar tractors. The
caterpillars with six trailers and a
caboose and machine shop can haul
t~hirty-five tons of ore to Indian
Springs in thirty-five hours while
the auto trucks will take six or
seven tons of ore ove the same
route in twenty-four hours.
The ore uncovered in the Groom
mine and in the other properties in
the district run sixty-five per cent
