Belcher mine was closed on account
of fire on the i400-foot level. In the
north end of the territory, water is
being lowered from the 2700 to the
2900-foot level, which will open up
considerable new ground. In Church
i'll County. the mills of the Nevada
Hills and Nevada Wonder were both
operated throughout the year. and
no great change was maoe in the pro-
duction of gold or silver. Some silver
was contributed by the Monitor Bel

The mine production of copper in
creased from 68.636.37O pounds in
1915 to over 103. 100000 pounds in
1916, an increase of nearly 35.000,-
600 pounds. The value of the copper
increased from $12,011. 1865 to about
$2S, 10000, or 134 per cent. The
greatest iacrease was due to the
operations of the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper Company at McGill, in
White Pine County. During the first
three quarters of the year. the plant
trested nearly 5000. 900 tons of low
grade copper ore and produced 67,-
1896, ,688 pounds of copper. Ore was
also treated from the Giroux prop
erty. In Lyon County, near Yering-
ton, there was great increase in the
shipment of copper ore, especially
from the Nevada Douglas property.
The latter half of the year the ESQ
ton teaching plant was operated.
Although the Mason valley smelter
was idle. a lotion teaching plant was
operated. treating ore from the Mon
tana-Nevada mine. At the end of
the year it was planned to operate
again the Mason Valley smelter. A
large increase in copper ore ship
ments came from the Santa Fe and
Silver Star districts, in Mineral Coun-
ty, from mines in the vicinity of Lun-
ing and Nina. which were shipping
at the rate of 1900 tons per month.
Shipments were also made from Bat
tie Mountain district, in Lander
County.
The mine production of lead in
creased from 1851, ,277 pounds in
1915 to %, ,466. 900 pounds in 1916.
The value of the output increased
more than $4,000 or 1O4 per cent
over that of 1915, which was $751;
952. A considerable part of this pro-
duction came. as in former years,
from the mines of the Yellow Pine
district, in Clark County. The Prince
Consolidated, at Phoebe. greatly in
creased ore shipments. and a con-
siderable output came from the
Uvada property. Other important
lead shipments were made from the
Groom mine. in Lincoln County. Ne
vada Bunker Hill property, in Elko
County, and the Union Mines, in Eu-
reka County. At Eureka. consider
able ore was shipped from the Rich
