REVIEW OF MINING

OOntinued FROM Page One,
ed. The company has installed an
other pump and with the aid of the
two others it is not believed that
any further trouble will be exper-
fenced. Development will be center
ed for the present on the 32O-foot
level, but later the scope of opera
lions will be enlarged.
COppermines
The Jumbo Extension Mining
company, operating the Copper
mines in Mineral county, is prepar
ing for a most extensive campaign
of development and ore extraction.
During the past week a five-ton
auto truck was sent to the seat of
operations and the machine will be
used in hauling out ore and return
ing with supplies. Arrangements
have been made whereby the capa-
city of the bunk houses will be
doubled, while a new hoist will be
installed at both shafts Nos. 1 and
2. A new three-drill compressor
has also been purchased and a big
campaign of mine building will be
Immediately started. Shipments are
going out from the property and ore
is exposed in shaft No. 2 that brings
a mill settlement of from Z to 10
per cent in copper.

WILL INACCURATE
LARGE PRODUCTION
NEW EQUIPMENT WILL BE PRO-
VIDED TO FACILITATE
WORK

The directors and stockholders of
the Virginia-Louise Mining COM
pany held several meetings this
week and the Record is informed
that plans have been practically
completed for the commencement
of activities at this big property
with the Inauguration of an era
of production.
The next step in the campaign
will be the employment of a thor
oughly competent engineer to map
out the program of equipping the
property with modern facilities.
The present hosting equipment
is to be replaced by a very much
larger plant, with all the accessories
necessary to handle ore upon an
extensive scale at the lowest posi-
BILE cost.
1t is understood that the manage
ment is arranging to build a rail-
road from the present terminus of
the Prince Consolidated line to the
mine shaft together with the re-
CURED side tracks etc., and the
hosting works and ore bins will be
so arranged hal as the ore comes
from the mine it will be dumped
into the railroad cars without any
extra handling.
The mine is equipped with a ver-
teal double compartment shaft, now
down 40 feet. Stations have been
cut at the 800 and 450-foot levels,
from which points drifts have been
run to the south and the ore body
crosscut 145 feet. Like the Prince
Consolidated, lying adjacent, the
ore bodies occur in beds, and the
first of these is 120 feet thick.
There are several of these beds, one
of them being go feet thick and
carrying higher values.
While there is a tremendous ton
mage of ore, in character almost
identical to the Prince Consolidated,
now available for extraction, it is
proposed to keep the work of ex-
picitation going forward, and with
this object in view the virgin ground
south of the shaft will be developed
and diamond drills will be used to
advantage.
The Virginia-Louise Mining COM
pany was recently recognized with
Judge Charles Lee Horsey, presi-
dent; C. A. Thompson, secretary
and treasurer, who, with W. H.
Pitts, H. w. Rand and Alex Lloyd,
constitute the directorate.
The bringing in of the Virginia
Louise will materially increase the
tonnage of ore going from this dis
trict, which will be very gratifying,
indeed, but more so to the stock
holders of the company, who may
look forward to reaping dividends in
the near future. With the Prince
already a velvet getter and the Vir-
ginia about to enter that class the
part of the district where they are
located will certainly be doing things
in the right way.-Pioche Record.

mate of $50 per ton average val
ues is conservative. This means that
there is 100000 worth of ore in
the dump.
However, that does not tell the
whole story of the Louisiana Con-
solidated company's inheritance In
sight above ground. In the Stag
dump on the site of the old smell
ter there are 100000 tons which,
with modern methods of treatment,
will net at least $35O,OOO. The
smelters that were running during
the 70's were crude and inefficient
compared with those of the present
day and much of the metal values
went into the Stag. These can now
be saved though it is probable that
this dump will not be touched I'M
til the Louisiana company has its
W smelter and railroad in order
that the greatest profit may be
made.
The visitor to Typo at this time
is at once struck by the great
amount of work that has been ac-
complished since the company start
ed operations on March 1st-at
least that is the experience of the
writer. Under General Manager OFT
F. Heller and Superintendent Clar-
ence Woods a bunch of men are
at work who show individual initia-
tive and good team work to a sur
prising degree. The inevitable de-
lays in the delivery of heavy ma
chinery that seem inseparable from
enterprises of this magnitude have
occurred, but nevertheless splendid
progress has been made. The
freight wagon with the heavier parts
of the big Diesel engine broke down
on the road and it will be several
days before it is delivered and in
stalled. This will delay the un-
watering and developing of the mine
but only for a short while.
The electric lighting plant for the
mine and camp will be entirely indie
pendent and will consist of a 1O-kilo-
wait generator, Qlrect connected
with gasoline engine.
From present indications it will
not be long before many other
mines in this vicinity will be work
ing, largely as a result of a belief
that the Louisiana company will
soon carry to a successful con-
their plans for a new smelter
and railroad. During the past week
w. Lester Mangum, on behalf of
himself and his father-in-law, Jesse
knight, the prominent mine operator
of Utah, together with John H.
Miller of the Lucky Boy, made an
examination of the extension of the
Moray mine. The latter was a won
derful producer of rich ore in the
old days and it is claimed that there
are millions still left in it.
1t is not known what decision was
arrived at by Messrs. Mangum and
Miller, but the mere fact that they
and others of their standing are
looking this way shows that the pos
sibilities of this section are at last

DISTRICT DEVELOPS into
PROMISING Mining CENTER
(By James F. O'Brien)

TYPO, Nevada, April 27.-That
the Louisiana Consolidated Mining
company picked a live one when it
took over the famous old Typo mine
and that it's operation with the pre-
sem high prices of lead, zinc and
silver literally means millions for
its stockholders, one needs further
evidence of it, after learning the
authentic past history of the pro-
perty, he will watch the ore sorter
at work on the dump near the main
shaft. 1t will need no a~ssayer's
certificate to convince one who
knows anything about minerals that
the ore which is being sacked is
high-grade and will pay handsomely
even after heavy transportation and
treatment charges have been deduct
ed.
Some of the ore is almost pure
galena which tells it's story to the
naked eye, while more of it, though
not so pretty to look at tells the
story of it's value by the weight.
The ore on the dump which is
being sorted came almost entirely
from a drift on the vein at the 400
foot level. The best of the product
was shipped at the time it was
mined and the balance, about 1000
tons, was placed on the dump for
future consideration. OF course at
the then prevailing prices OF the
metals there was not near the same
value in the ore that there is at the
present time, but a little closer sort
ing would have made much of it
a good shipping product even in
those days.
1t was not the intention Of the
Louisiana management to do any
thing with this dump until they
were in shape to send out steady
shipments from the mine itself, but
while waiting for material a man
vas put to work with such crafty
ing results that it has been decided
to continue the work and ship the
best of the product without waiting
for underground developments.
In the odd times that the single
ore sorter has been at work he has
already sacked eight tons and the
hole hat he has made in the pile
seems negligible. The proportion
of the high-grade to all the ore in
the dump is as surprising as it is
gratifying. Assays show that this
r will run $175 a ton and up
wards, leaving a net profit to the
company after all expenses have
been paid of better that $50 per
ton.
If it is figured that but one
eighth of the dump will sort to the
above grade it means a clean pick
up of $4,000 to the company for
the best ore from this dump alone.
But the whole dump will be work.
ed eventually as tests show that
the 1000 tons will average $50 per
ton. Grab samples taken of the
fine dirt all over the dump assayed
$35.76, which shows that the esti-

HAVE DANGEROUS PRACTICE

Fire Chief Murphy has requested
that the attention of automobile
owners be called to the ordinance
against leaving cars standing in

that the practice is a dangerous
one and that the delay that it would
cause the firemen in the event it
was necessary for them to make a
connection with a plug in front of
which a "a was standing might re-
suit in serious fire loss.
