GREAT BEND
IN RICH ORE
HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF COM
MERCIAL ORE NOW BEING
MAINTAINED

The Great Bend mine continues
to show considerable class and new
and important finds are being made
almost daily. On Tuesday settle
ment was effected on the sixth car
load of ore that has been broken
from the stope being carried at the
top of the raise from the 3OO-foOt
level, and returns of $45 a ton
were realized. Consulting Engineer
]. X. Turner hopes to steadily in
crease the output.
Carload No. 7 is now being loaded
out and it is anticipated that values
equally as high will be realized.
Carload No. 5 brought $57 a ton
net and the earning that is result
ing from the ground in question
promises to enrich the treasury of
the company in no uncertain way.
There has been a noticeable inn
provement taking place on the 100
root level, where the drift has been
extended for 200 feet. No shipping
ore is being broken at the present
time, but the outlook is most 1aVOr-
able for a substantial earning tax
ing place within the very near
future.
Although the crosscut from the
drift on the 300-foot level has been
temporarily suspended, the showing
of ore in the stope, of which men
ton was made in a previous para
graph, is most encouraging. 1t IS
hoped to maintain a steady produc-
ton of ore of better than an aver
age grade for an indefinite period.
The ore vein has a width of five
feet and of this material Is inches
is as solid as a bell. 1t can be
seen that the values are on the
upward trend, as shipments made
during the past three weeks nave
brought a gradual increase in
values.

NEW FIND ON
ORLEANS MINE
ORE VEIN OF PROPORTIONS
ENCOUNTERED ON 400
FOOT LEVEL

A wonderful improvement is re-
ported to have taken place during
the past couple of weeks on the
Horn Silver property at Hornsilver,
operated by the Orleans Mining and
Milling company, with ]. w. Dunfee
serving as president and manager.
The new find was made on the
400-foot level of the mine, and at
a point where a new dyke made its
appearance. After driving for IA
feet the dyke split and on the east
side was found exposed a big vein
of highly mineralized ore.
The ore shoot on the Orleans has
now been proven for a length of 40
feet, while the average width of the
vein is six feet. Shipments that
have been made of late weeks from
this we'll known producer have
brought a settlement of $42 a ton in
gold and silver.
DR.. A. H. Elftman, who serves as
consulting geologist for the COM
pany, as we'll as engineer, stated
before leaving for San Francisco on
Wednesday that he had measured
up the known reserves of ore now
exposed and that there were at
lease 700 tons available for ship
ment hat had an average value Of
$35.68 a ton.
The Orleans was recently re-
organized and incorporated. J. w.
Dunfee serves as president and man
ager, while Cal Terwilliger of Los
Angeles officiates as secretary. The
property is now in splendid physical
form and it is hoped to greatly in
crease the output during the next
few weeks.
There is now exposed one of the
most remarkable orebodies ever dis
covered in the Hornsilver district.
The ore shoot showing on the 345
and 4O0-foot levels is much larger
than that found on the upper level
two years ago, from which a pro-
duction estimated at 100000 was
made. 1t is generally conceded that
the new ore vein will surrender
greatly in excess of that sum-, and
to that end Mr.. Dunfee is making
ready to maintain heavy shipments
during the spring and summer
months.

ROCHESTER MINES NOW SHOWING
UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF ACTIVITY
Rochester Mines Company

Official reports from the Roches-
ter Mines company that the output
for the month of February was
about $4,000, this low figure being
due to interrupted ore t~ransporta-
ton on the Nevade Short Line rail-
road by severe storms. The present
month should witness a large in
crease over that amount, and when
the new aerial tramway is in opera
ton record productions are anti
cipated through the recently en-
larged capacity of the mill and
steady transportation service. Vari-
Gus workings Of the mine are being
advanced in splendid ore.
Rochester United Mines
This property, which covers 240
acres on the south slope of Sun
flower hill, adjoining Rochester
Mines and Rochester Merger and
embracing the extension of some
of their most important veins, Is
being energetically developed
through what are known as the
Sunflower and Silver King tunnels.
A large shipment of ore carrying
high values in gold was recently
made from the Sunflower, which
indicates that Rochester United is
in line to soon be numbered among
the important producers of the dis
trict. Crosscuts are now being sent
out east and west from the Silver
King tunnel to develop a series Of
known veins.
Rochester Combined Mines
Reports of excellent ore develop
ments come from the Rochester
Combined, the big new proposition
of L.. A. Friedman, between Roches-
ter Mines and the Packard and
south of the Rochester United. An
air compressor has recently been
installed at the Shepherd No. L
tunnel, where work is being rapidly
advanced on an immense vein OF
good milling ore. Development 1s
also progressing on good show1ngs
of ore at other points on this prop
erty, which will be the scene OF
great activity as soon as weather
conditions permit of charging OPP
eratiOns.
The usual good progress is being
made on the Home Trail, Lincoln
Hill, Buck and Charlie, Octopus.

Lower Rochester.

IN WHICH T.. w. NAWMAN
MEETS DEATH

T. w. Nawman, employed as

ings of the Kewanas mine, was
killed last night in an accident in
the shaft at the 700-fOOt level OF
the Laguna, through which Kewanas
hosting is done.
The manner in which Nawman
met death is not known and Will
not be determined until after a
verdict is rendered at the
inquest, which started at 2 O'Clock
this afternoon before Judge French.
Nawman was about to come TO
the surface of the skip, which was
waiting at the station. The hosting
engineer felt a jar on the rope and
men were sent down to investigate.
They found the skip overturned,
with Nawman's body lying on top.
How it came to be in that position
is a mystery at the present time.
1t is thought probable that in some
manner he was crushed between the
side of the skip and the shaft tim

turned as he was about to get on 1t.
Marks on the body are said to indi-
cate that it had been crushed.
Nawman was best known to Gold
field people as the man who up to
a few months ago sold vegetables
from a wagon. He had been in
Goldfield for many years and In
the early days owned a water wagon
and had a we'll and property south
of the old miners hospital.
Nawman is survived by a wife
and two grown stepsons, n of the
latter now being in Salt Lake and
the other in Fresno, Cal. Both sons
have been communicated with, and
the n in Salt Lake is now on his
way here. The other Is unable to
come on account of business.
Nawman was a member of Monte
yuma lodge, F.. & A. M, under
whose auspices the funeral will be
held, and also of the Eastern Star.
Final arrangements for the holding
of the funeral will be made on the
arrival of the son from Salt Lake.

ROCHESTER, New, March T.
Developments of a most gratifying
character continue to expand the
Importance Of this district as a
producer of gold and silver. In
every instance the mines that have
already made records are now maxi
ing the best showing of any time
in their history, and new producers
are being brought to light as a re-
suit of the energetic campaign of
work that is in progress.
One of the most interesting
pieces of news for the district is
an official announcement that the
Nenzel Crown Point Mines company
is now preparing for the construc-
ton of a large millig plant within
the near future, and that tests
which have been made to determine
the best methods for treating the
ore have proven eminently salts
factory. The mill will be located
in South American canyon, where
the company has a splendid water
supply.
The various veins that have been
opened by this company in the Pitt
Nenzel tunnel on the Rochester side
of Nenzel hill and in the Crown
Point workings on the opposite side
give a combined width of approx
n,ota1y 10O foot of merc ore
exposed by crosscut tunnels which
aggregate over 5000 feet in length.
The Pitt-Nenzel tunnel is now in
more than 1900 feet and the Crown
Point tunnel exceeds 1900 feet. In
addition to this, a large moun OF
drifting has been done on some OF
the veins tt explore the orebodies
at length. A vertical depth of $50
feet and more than 1000 feet on
the dip of the veins is obtained
through the Pitt-Nenzel tunnel,
which is 500 feet lower than the
Crown Point tunnel. These bores
are being driven toward each other
from opposite sides of the hill, the
points now being approximately
under the crest of Nenzel hill. 1t
is proposed to soon I'M them
by a vertical raise, for ventilation
and general mining convenience, as
we'll as an avenue through which
a water system can be
from American canyon to the W
of Rochester. -

NEVADA HILLS
SEEKING MINES
ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS HAND
SOME EARNINGS FROM MILL
TREATMENT

The seventh annual report of the
Nevada Hills Mining company has
been issued from the office Of the
president, George Wingfeld, at
Reno. Mr.. Wingfield informs the
stockholders that the mine produc-
ton in 1916 netted $S9,251 from
the treatment of 52,436 tons of ore.
Including the interest received on
the surplus, the total income was
$99,462.2S.
The net of the company
at the end of 1916 amounted to
$351,000, without making allowance
for what may be obtained from the
sale of secondhand equipment when
the property is dismantled.
In a summary of his report Presi-
dent Wingfield makes the announce
ment that an effort is being made
to find another property of merit in
view of the fact that the mineral re-
sources of the mines in question are
apparently exhausted. The stock
holders were sounded upon this
proposition, with the result that 210
stockholders representing 129,129
shares, voted in favor of continuing
exploration work, and 63 stockhold-
ers representing 5000 voted
against. In taking this vote no Off
Ger or director was allowed to par
t~icipate.
President Wingfield concludes his
statement with the following:
I'VE shall, therefore, continue to
look for other properties during the
period that the company is finishing
it's milling operations and disman-
thing the plant. If, by the time all
the of the company are
gathered together in cash, a satisfac-
tory property has not been found in
which to invest the funds, n final
disbursement will be made to the
stockholders.
1.-THE status of the board of direc-
tors, the amount of capital stock is
sued, the personnel of the officers,
ETC., remains about the same as it
was when the last annual report was
issued. The company is not involv-
ed in any litigation whatever"
The quickly convertible assets
are, roughly, $351,O22, as shown be-
low:
