1TSBURG-DOLORES
MINE IS OPERATING
CDNpANN'S MILL is PRODUCING
BULLION AND DRIFTS PRO
CROSSING

f. J.. Schrader, manager of the
Pittsfburg Dolores mine, came down
from the cOmpany's property Thurs
day. He reports work at the mine
progressing rapidly. A 50-horse
power hoist is being installed at the
face of the tunnel, preparatory to ex-
tensive sinking on the main vein.
This tunnel cuts the vein at a depth
of 1000 feet.
Heretofore most of the work of
extracting ore has been done by
stopping, and although much ore re-
above this tunnel, the manage
meet feels that in order to show up
the of this valuable prop
erty to the best possible advantage
sinking will be necessary. The ore
above the tunnel is easily extracted,
being handled mostly by gravity to

MOLYBDENUM FOUND
IN H00S|ER MINE
VALUABLE METALS ARE PRO-
DUCED BY NINE IN SOUTH
ERN DISTRICT

The Hoosier mine is the producer
of lead molydate, according to word
received Thursday by Superinten-
dent Nick Touroff, from E. S. Arm
strong, owner Of the property. Sam
pies of the peculiar ore were re-
Gently sent to MI. Armstrong for
valuable, the market value being
$4,000 per pound for 60 per cent
molybdenum ore. 1t is believed
that considerable quantities of this
valuable ore have been shipped with
the regular shipments of lead ore,
its presence not having been s
pected.
f. S. Armstrong of Pasadena is
the owner of the Hoosier, having
but recently purchased it. He is
planning to make important improve
ments in the property, among them
being an extension of the wagon
road up to the mine to do away
with packing the ore on burro

Following this a mill will be built
to separate the lead from the zinc
ores. This will be a wet process
mill, according to present plans, and
will require the development of
water in the valley and the build
ing of a pipe line and pumping
plant. II
Notwithstanding the absence of
these very desirable improvements,
the Hoosier has enjoyed a prosper
Gus career, and is today a steady
shipped of high-grade zinc ore,
of which considerable bodies are
being developed below the lead belt,

years ago, and for a number of
years was owned by Claudia Morris
and Harry S. ~Josephus of Salt Lake
who sold to Mr.. Armstrong. 1t has
already produced about $4,000
from zinc ore shipments.
The mine is now working "a men
and is shipping about 900 tons of
ore, running 3S or 80 per cen in
lead, with some silver contents.
The product is lead carbonate,
sprinkled with Jumps of galena. The
ore is hand-sorted, the zinc being
placed on the dump for future sale.
A very noticeable feature of the
Hoosier mine is the great size of
the ore bodies. The old slopes
worked during past years are of
enormous size and are still yielding
ore. In every direction, so far as
development has proceeded, e ore
has been developed and those who
are we'll posted on the conditions
of the property consider it n of
the future big mines of this dis
trict.-Goodsprings Gazette.

CHARLES A. SHECK DIES
IN EASTERN HOSPITAL
WAS FOR MANY YEARS in GKO-
Gerry BUSINESS IN
GOLDFIELD

Friends of Charles A. Sheck, a
former Goldfield grocery man. have
learned of his death at Rochester,
Mimi. He left here to have an
operation performed at the Mayo
brothers s%atitarium, but died
shortly after arriving there n be-
fore an operation could be perform
ed. For a long time before leaving
Goldfield he was a sufferer from
Bright's disease and left to have
the operation performed as a last
hope to save his life.
Sheck was for 10 years in the
grocery business in Goldfield n
was at different time reputed to be
worth considerable money. He
came to Goldfield from Bay City,
Mich, and it is thought he has
been buried there.

MINE HAS
BETTER PROSPECTS
PROPERTY IN CLARK COUNTY
Is MAKING A REGULAR
PRODUCTION

The claims made by the owners
of the stock of the Contact Mining
company, mai the contact will with
in a few months be on a dividend
basis, appear entirely reasonable to
n who has gone through the
workings and observed the large
bodies of ore which are being de-
veloped.
The Contact is n of the proper
ties which is being developed on a
considerable scale and has from the
first produced sufficient high grade
zinc ore to pay for the work done
and keep its treasury in a comfort
able condition. The corporation is
rather a close one, the stock being
held by a few individuals and there
being none for sale.
The property is about three miles
from the Potosi mine and is in the
same geological formation and un-
der very similar conditions. The
ore bodies are unusually strong and
well defined. The workings have
ltdCIeu a uepIn VI lou leeJ anu
the ore is still going down. the de-
posits being larger and of better
values as depth is attained.
There is plenty of ore for stop
ing and shipments are being made
regularly and may at any time be
largely increased. 1t is the inten-
ton of the management to develop
the mine to greater depth and drop
the ore down from above, thus
cheapening the handling.
The mine is already equipped with
a hoist and the truck road runs di-
rectly to the mine, so that a large
production may be put on the rail
easily whenever it seems to the
management to be desirable. 1t
seems entirely reasonable that the
Contact will within a few months be
in the Yellow Pine class. - Good

KRAMER HILL MINE
At GOlCONOA SOLD
PITTSBURGH MEN PURCHASE
PROPERTY AND PLAN A
BIG MILL

j. B. Tomlinson, general manager
of the Kramer Hill mines near Col
conda, was in town yesterday at
tending to business matters. Mr..
Tomlinson returned Thursday from
San Francisco. after making a trip
to the coast city from Pittsburgh.
Pa, where he had been for some
time and consumated the sale of the
Kramer Hill mines to a big Eastern
corporation, which is planning ex-
tensive operations at the property,
both in installing reduction equip
ment and development of the min
eral resources. The examining
board of the new corporation is eX-
pected to be at the property before
the end of the present month.
Mr.. Tomlinson says that the new
company will install a $50 or 200
ton plant, which will be in opera
ton within 90 days.
The Kramer Hill property is stu
town of Golconda and is considered
as n of the big gold mines OF the
state.
In speaking of the Golconda sec
ton in general Mr.. Tomlinson stated
that from a mining standpoint it
had a bright future and that there
is considerable activity in the camp
at the present time. Good proper
ties are under development in the
Adelaide section and he says it will
not be long before ore shipments
will be increased at the old Adelaide
mine, nov under control of the
Yerington Mountain Copper COM
pany. Forty men r at work and
three cars of ore are being shipped
out each week. The ore is increas-
ing in value as depth is attained.
Besides the properties named, a
number of others in the camp are
shipping ore.-Humboldt Star.

RABIES QUARANTINE
RAISED IN NEVADA
DOES NOT MEAN THAT DISEASE
HAS BEEN ERADI-
GATED

A statement issued from the Of
flee of the governor says that upon
the recommendation of the state rab-
les commission and of DR.. w. b.
Mack, state quarantine officer, the
rabies quarantine heretofore in eff
feet in Nevada has been raised by
executive order.
The fact that the rabies quaran-
tine has been raised does not indi-
cate that rabies has been eradicated
from Nevada. On the contrary, it
is widely distributed. So far as
known, Clark, Douglas and Storey
are the only counties which are free
from it. The quarantine has served
the purpose intended; that is, it has
delayed the spread of the disease.
Under present conditions, the BEN
efits 10 be derived from continuing
a statewide rabies quarantine are
no longer sufficient to compensate
for the difficulties created by it.

the mill. Hence a large tonnage can
be easily handled, an amount in ex-
cess of the capacity of the mill,
which is responsible for the new
plans of developing the vein to great
err depth.
Although the storms of the past
two weeks have hindered mill opera
lions to a certain extent, a nice lit
tie bar of bullion was the result of
the recent cleanup. The bullion
was shipped Thursday to the Selby
smelter. This property is n of the
steady producers of the district and
adds to the camps mineral produc-
ton in the form of a bar OF bull
lion every few weeks.
About so men are employed in
the mine and mill, which pay rol
adds materially to the business ac-
tivity of the district. - Yeringt0n

NEW ZINC STRIKE
At YELLOW PINE
IMPORTANT DISCOVERY Is RE-
POisI ED AT DEPTH IN
BIG PROPERTY

This week has witnessed another
great ore body brought to light in
the Yellow Pine mines. After driv-
ing 100 feet north and 100 feet
east from the end Of the 100
foot north drift on the 700 level,
Manager Fred H. Hale, Jr., has
opened a new ore body in virgin
territory, which at this time gives
promise of exceeding in magnitude
the splendid body extending from
the 800 sub-level to the 100 level.
The drift in which this new strike
was made has penetrated the ore
for many feet and the full extent
OF the big deposit is not yet known
as they are still advancing entirely
in ore.
In values this new ore body is
somewhat better than the general
run of ore in the mine heretofore,
the ore broken in this drift Wednes-
day assaying 1873 per cent lead and
34.6 per cent zinc.
A most important feature of this
new ore body is the fact that it is
found beyond the faulting plane
which cuts through this portion or
the ground and extends both down
and up. 1t is in entirely new
ground which had eve been pros
pected. In working this body it
is probable that a drift will be run
on the 900 level and the ore stop
ed down. The new strike is virtual
ly equivalent to the discovery of a
new mine of immense value.-Good-
springs Gazette.

ELY CONSOLIDATED
SHIPS TO SAMPLER
REPORTS SHOW GOOD RESULTS
OF WORK ON COPPER
PROPERTIES

C. w. Geddes, consulting engineer
of the Ely Consolidated at Ely, Ne
vada, reports that the first ship
ment of ore, a full carload, that
would average $50 per ton in value.
is now on the way from the mine
and would be received at the sam
pier in a few days. This comes
from the 25O-foot level of the
American shaft, which is being
steadily sent down with constantly
improving conditions.
Another of the properties of the
Ely district hat is making a worthy
record is the Consolidated Copper
company, which has recently COM
pleted it's new mill, with a capacity
of about 1000 tons per day. The
profits of the company for the first
month since the plant was placed
in operation are officially stated to
be $1,000.
While the ore that has been pre-
viously handled is not sensatiOnally
high in value, the profit being due
to the magnitude and the sustained
price of the metals, Mr.. Geddes
said that it was officially reported
J to him that on the 1000-foot level
there has been opened an ore-body
IA feet wide that carried from 20
to 40 per cent copper. If this de-
velops as anticipated it will demon
strate that the mine is in the rank
of the richest in America.
OF developments at the Nevada
Consolidated the production will be
IN to about $4,000 tons pei day by
the first of June.-Ely Record.

MOUNTAIN
A BUSY DISTRICT
LARGE TONNAGE OF ORE is
BEING SHIPPED FROM
NEIGHBORHOOD

Paul Baugh, a leading Battle
Mountain citizen, was a Winnemuc-
ca visitor last week. He was very
enthusiastic over the Battle Noun
tain section. "In the Battle Noun
tain mining district we are a very
busy people," he said. THE mine
developments are more productive
of results than at any period in the
history of the section.
1.-The copper deposits are being
proven on a large and permanent
basis. The old Glasgow & Western
property in Copper canyon has been
made a regular shipper, employs
sixty men and is furnishing the
smelters with a carload of high
grade ore daily.
"In Copper Basin activity pre-
walls. There is being shipped from
the Basin by leasers more than
$1,000 worth of copper ore daily.
This is good, high-grade copper.
81 am interested in a lease in the
Basin and last month we shipped
twenty-five carloads of ore each
car netting better than $1,000. This
is from a depth of forty feet, and
everything that is broken goes to
the smelter and so far there is
not a carload of waste on the dump.
The ore averages 81 per cent cop
per. 1t is simply a bonanza. There
are four other leasers and they, too,
are shipping ore.
BILLY Paul has made a fortune
where the old Glasgow & Western
failed. For a long time he has
been shipping a car of ore every
other day. At present he is sink
ing a vertical working shaft to in
crease production.
"In gold and silver mining there
is also activity. The mines at
Maysville, Hilltop and Lewis canyon
are all busy proving big bodies of
profitable ore and making a pro-
duction that is good, giving en-
ployment to a large number of
miners and other workers.
Then, too, the placer diggings at
Copper canyon are as productive as
ever. We all know the wealth of
gold that comes from these gravel
deposits. The prospects are in
sign, for ending the long litigation
which has tied up the most valuable
acreage in Copper canyon. With
the litigation settled there will be
a new advance and a larger gold
production.
ION the Dahl placers seventy men
are at work. Dahlville is quite a
town and a very busy place. At
present Dahl is blowing and scrap
ing into the sluces a large surface
area, and, like narrowing and
sowing a field for reaping, this
placer farm at the mouth of Copper
canyon is yielding a wealth of gold.
"All about Battle Mountain there
is activity. Copper and other ores
worth fully 100000 are being
shipped each month, yet one rarely
hears anything of Battle Mountain"

MAKES A MINE
SINGLE HANDED
OWNER OF PROPERTY IN VEL
LOW PINE DISTRICT is
SUCCESSFUL

1t is not often that one finds a
mine with the record of develop
ment by the Sultan. which is the
property of a single individual, and
which has paid for itself without
ever having outside capital invested
in it's stock. However, the fact re-
mains that the Sultan is a one
man mine, being owned exclusively
by Henry Robbins.
The property was originally To-
Gated by George Rose and associates
and passed to A. E. Thomas, who
owned it for some time and sold
an interest to Frank G.. O'Kelly
about 1906. They were co-oweners
of the mine until 1913, when they
sold it to Henry Robbins, under
whose development it has grown to
be one of the best producers in the
district.
The mine is we'll equipped with a
Stebbins dry process mill, an en-
CINE and compressor and an air
hoist, located at the winze which is
sunk from the main tunnel level.
There are also good bunk houses
and living accommodations for the
men.
The mine now employs II men,
working one shift in the mine and
two shifts in the mill, and the work
is under the immediate direction of
Superintendent w. E. Stromer. The
production of the mine is limited
by the capacity of the mill, which
now treats so tons per day, the
product being a high elade lead
concentrate. They are at present
operating exclusively on lead ore,
although there is a large tonnage
Of zine available in the mine whcr-
ever the owner s.shnS t. market
it. This Yin, IS ticc grade, run
ming in value from 40 to AZ per
cent.
The bulk of the lead ore being
mined is lead carbonate, given a
rich brown color by iron stain. 1t
is plentifully i~nterspersed with
galena.
There are large bodies of ore
left in the workings on the tunnel
level and in the workings at the
sO-foot level, which are not being
mined. the ore bodies being opened
by the development in the winze
115 feet below the tunnel level fur
nishing all the ore which can be
handled by the mill. In some por-
tons of the mine there are very
substantial values in silver, run
ming from Is to SO ounces per ton
in that metal, but the silver values
in the bulk Of the ore being mined
are low, although they assist very
materially in paying transportation
charges.
Henry Robbins, the owner and
manager of the property, is one of
the best known mining men in the
district, and his success with the
Sultan is an example of what may
be accomplished by a nan single
handed, with careful, conservative
persistent work in the Yellow Pine
