flOTAT|ON NOW
WORKS AT ELY
COPPERMINES COMPANY WILL
HANDLE LARGE TONNAGE
In PLANT

The first 500-ton unit of the flo
tation plant of Coppermines com-
pany is expected to be completed and
go into commission soon after the
first of next month, and o comes
the cheering information that a con-
tract has been let to the General
Engineering company of Salt Lake
to Immediately commence the cree
ton of the second unit of the plant,
with the same capacity as the first.
1t is expected that the second
unit will be completed and in oper-
alton by early spring, after which
the management will be able to
treat 1000 tons of ore daily
through it's own plant, in addition
to the considerable tonnage which
is handled daily by the Nevada Con-
solidated from it's Ora claim, adj
joining Liberty Pit. 1t is also the
intent of the management to soon
m the shipping of a con-
siderable tonnage of oxide. and car
Donate ores to the Tooele smelters
in Utah. This ore will come from
the Old Glory, Taylor, Giroux and
Alpha shafts.
The last statement of the COM
pany for the year ending April 80,
1916, showed a total and partially
developed ore reserve of ~25,867,850
tons; since that time a large amount
of churn drilling has been done,
with the result that several mil
lion tons of additional ore has been
demonstrated.
From present indications, Cop

take it's place as a producer of con-
siderable Importance in the mining

which now seems to have been de-
i~'nitely determined upon, the flu

iully assured.-Ely Record.

LYNN BIG SIX
HAS GOOD ORE
ELKO COUNTY PROPERTY IN
SHAPE TO SUPPLY ITS
NEW MILL

The board of directors of the
Lynn Big Six Mining company is
sued the following statement to
stockholders:
The improvement in the condi-
ton and showings of the property
which has marked the operations of
the mine throughout the past year
was particularly noticeable during
December.
The work for some time past has
been largely confined to the incline,
the building of the structure for
the mill, the installation of the mill
and machinery and occasional ship
ments of high-grade ore. The in
cline has now attained a depth of
10 feet on the vein and has been
demonstrated to be the same vein
known as the east vein, encountered
on the 2OO-foot level and which will
be run through the mill in connet
ton with the west vein through the
main shaft. Both veins are about
four feet wide, except that in the
l. bbC WIN u lOoSht . v
five feet wide in solid quartz, two
showings of which taken this week,
show $40 ounces and 3.72 ounces
gold per ton.
1.-THE first assay from the 20-inch
lead is of very high gold and the
second is from quartz next to it.
This extraordinary showing has been
so frequently verified by many as
says taken during the past six
months that there can be no doubt
of the permanency of the vein nor
it's richness. The west vein is near
ly as large and is believed to be
equally valuable.
"The a marketed this week
netted the company 1887. Another
car will be sem in this month. The
mill is on it's concrete base and will
start up in February. 1t is aimed to
run 80 to 35 tons per day and will
mill the entire width of the vein in
the incline and the veins
.ered on the 2O0-foot level, giving
the mill an average of $40 ore, as
near as can be estimated from the
assays.
1.-THE superintendent reports all
conditions as better than at any
time during the year and predicts
that future shipments if high grade
will be even richer than those in
1916.-Elko Free Press.

HARRIS IS HELD
FOR KIDNAPPING

BONDS

Another chapter in the
case was closed this morning Wheh
at the end of the preliminary exam

alleged to have been with MIS-
Healy and her brother, George Har-

The charge against Harris being
identical with hat on which YIN
gan was held, Harris then waived
preliminary examination and was
also held to answer.
Both men have been under sow
bonds and this amount was raised
to $1,000 for each and new bonds
required. At 8 o'clock this after
noon they were still in the custody
OF the sheriff and efforts were be-
ing made to secure bondsmen.

Some good ore has been found
lately in extending the old workings
to seek the extension of a rich ore
shoot that was mined in the main
vein, a considerable distance above
the shale. Pillars of h~igh-grade ore
that were left in the rich slopes in
the shale contact zone are being
drawn and will yield a substantial
revenu to the company.

GOOD PROGRESS
At COMO MINES
WELL KNOWN MINING MEN
HAVE PROPERTY OF
GREAT PROMISE

Quincy Gordon president of the
Consolidated Mines company, and
Clyde Garrett, one of the directors
have just returned from a trip 20
the company's mines at Como.
This was Gordon's first trip to
the camp in many weeks, and he
was highly pleased with conditions
as he found them. The main shaft
operations were being conducted
without a hitch, and the hoist and
compressor were in perfect shape.
Some trouble had been experien-
ced with the pumps but with the ar
rival of new parts expected in a
day or two this defect would be
quickly remedied. Some very i'm
portant prosecuting is being done
one the first level, this cross-cut
being run to open an entirety new
portion of a vein that is very likely
an extension of the rich west vein.
A gasoline hoist is being set up
on the Lucky Sunday claim at the
point where the 12-foot-wide body
Of $50 ore is exposed, and vigorous
development will be continued at
this point. Gordon fully expects
that at the time the mill is ready
to operate in the spring enough ore
will have been blocked out at this
point alone to keep it running for
several years, and if the grade will
continue to average from $40 to
$50 as at present, bullion should
roll out very fast.-Reno Journal.

NATIONAL MINES
IN GOOD SHAPE
INCREASED ACTIVITY SHOWN in
FAMOUS NORTHERN HUM
BOLDT DISTRICT

The National Mines company is
sinking in the footwall of the ia
nous National vein and in about
two months from now will cross-cut
to the vein and open the same at
depth.
The Indian valley lode, which is To-
Gated northeast of and adjoining
the national Mines property, has
been purchased and incorporated by
Reno mining men. 1t is their in
tention to do a great deal of devel-
opment work upon the well-defined
vein which they have already open
ed up on the north end of their
property.
j.. l.. Workman has started work
again on the White Rock property.
A contract has been let and several
hundred feet of development work
will be done upon what is known
as the Murphy vein.
p. Landers is now running a cross
cut tunnel on the Last Chance
group. He intends to cut the vein
which he has already opened up on
the surface, this being the same
vein from which high-grade float
as been found on the adjoining
property, known as the Shiloh group.
Clough & Clark of Butte have
taken an eight-year lease upon the
Charleston Hill Gold Mining COM
pany's ground. 1t is their intention
to sink a shaft at the north end
of their lease where it adjoins the
National Mines property.
The Indian National Mining COM
pany, Ltd, is driving a cross-cut
tunnel on the east end of their pro-
perty. This company intends to
open up what is known as the Sill"
yer vein, which has been uncovered
on the ridge leading down from the
Stall lease.
j. S. Miller, a mining man from
Butte, Mont, who has been In camp
for the past two weeks, has acquired
an interest in the Equator group,
Mr.. Miller states that the assays
aiken by him from the we'll defined
fissure vein run So per ton on the
surface. The Equator property is
directly in line with the National
Mines and Indian Valley veins.
Murphy & Britt, who have the
contract to drive the tunnel on the
Snorting Bob property, owned py
the National Nevada Mining com
pany, were in camp during the
early part of the week and they
claim that the showings in the tun'
mel are very encouraging.
n. p. r. Hatch has taken a lease
upon the Chez Foo lode. Mr.. Hatch
intends sinking on the vein. AS
