CUTS ORE AT
MOUNT GRANT

The highest point in the state
where mine development is being
done is ON the top of Mount Grant
in Mineral county, at an altitude of
over 1000 feet. John Lundberg
has sunk a shaft there % feet and a
cross-cut of IL feet is all in ore. He
has run a tunnel 10 feet and in
tends to cross-cut for what is sup
posed to be a large body of ore.
The ore will average about 20 per
cent copper and from $40 to $40
gold.
There is plenty of wood and wa
ter available and the mine can be
easily worked by tunneling. Several
years ago mining claims we're stalk
ed on every foot of land in this sec
ton, but little development work
was ever done. Near the Rockwell
ranch, at the foothills of Mount
Grant, Mr.. Rockwell is opening
some copper prospects that from all
indications will prove a rich find

MINING DEAL
PUT THROUGH

Frank Childress returned from
Winnemucca Wednesday after con-
Guiding a mining deal upon which
he has been working for the past
month. The Ruby group of claims
about 20 miles southwest from
Bridges Station on the Nevada Cen
trail railroad passed from the owner
ship of local parties, Shropshire,
Durrett, Mccoy, Ray and O'Connor
into the hands of John Ross, a min
ing man of Winnemucca and Mill
City. The price paid by the new
owner is in the neighborhood of
$4,000.
Immediately upon assuming con-
troll Mr.. Ross intends beginning ex-
tensive development work on the
cinnabar deposit which has been un-
covered by the owners. In all pro-
liabilities a plant for the disposition
of the ores will be installed on the
property.-Battle Mountain Scout.

GOldfield Man Gets Award

At a meeting of the Nevada In
dustrial commission several days
ago awards amounting to $2OS9.l2
were made. The largest award
was $1211 to Robert Martin OF
Goldfield, who had his leg broken
in July, 1916, leaving a slight de-
formity. The award was made un-
der a ruling in the case of Brown
against the Nevada Industrial COM
mission, the employer being in de-
fault of premium payments at the
time of the accident. The Martin
claim was the last unadjusted one
of that nature, as, since July /,
1917, employers have been required
to file an acceptance of the act and
to pay premiums in advance. I'm
der the former act acceptance was
presumed unless a rejection were
filed, a plan that made it easy fol
careless employers to avoid respon'
sibility.

COPPER CANYON
PLANT BURNED
FLAMES DESTROY POWER HOUSE
AND INTERRUPT
OPERATIONS

A fire, the origin of which is un-
determined, destroyed the power
plant and equipment including
pumping and hosting plant, COM
pressor and engines of the Copper
Canyon Mining company last Sat
urday afternoon.
The fire occurred during the lunch
hour at a time when the workmen
had gone from the building across
to a place they were accustomed to
take their lunch. The building,
kept scrupulously clean, was of COR
rugated iron with a heavy plank
floor. There was no explosion, re-
ported heard, just a burst of flame
at one end with simultaneous bursts
in a number of places. TIL, flames
spl cad so rapidly that within a few
minutes the building and equip
ment was at its mercy.
The company has been operating
two years under an efficient man
agement, distributing a payroll in
the neighborhood of $4,000 a month
in wages. They have arranged for
the men all conveniences and ac-
comodations including a club, in the
reading room of which can be found
twelve of the best magazines and
three of the leading daily papers. A
company store, run on a no profit
basis, at which supplies can be
furnished much less than in Battle
Mountain. Cottages for men with
families with no charge for rent
were also furnished by the company.
The charge for board is $1.25 a day.
The company was shipping an
average of 40 tons a day from the
mines to the smelters at the time
of the fire, and has a force of men
now working in the retraction OF
that part of the equipment essential
for extraction and hosting, pumping
not being necessary and will not be
replaced at this time.
The company is rushing all neces-
sary equipment so that shipments
carr be resumed. The necessary raise
in Upper to 26 cents with a pro-
bable rate al the smelters offers
some needed encouragement to
those engaged in the mining indus
try.-Battle Mountain Scout.

TUNGSTEN FIND IS
MADE IN HUMBOLDT
JESSE WORKMAN OPENS VALU-
ABLE ORE AT BLOODY
run

From all reports an important
tungsten strike has been made at
Bloody Run, about rs miles north
west of Winnemucca in what is
locally known as the dollhouse
range of mountains. The find was
made by J.. l.. Workman, the loca-
tor of the famous National mine,
and it is said that the deposit or
lead is quite extensive and will be
productive of a large tonnage OF
tungsten ore. SO far only five claims
have been located along the origin
al strike, and these have been stalk
ed by Mr.. Workman and F. K.
O'Leary, another prominent mining
man of the National district.
The discovery was made only a
short time ago, but from reports
brought in enough trenching and
other work has been accomplished
to show that the vein is continuous
for a considerable distance along
the surface. Samples brought to
town show large patches of schee-
lite, and in speaking of the property
yesterday Mr.. O'Leary said that the
vein had been disclosed along its
strike for a distance of 5000 feet,
and that samples taken from the
different openings gave from one to
five pei cent tungsten acid.-Hum-

blow and face the situation square
ly and honestly. And that situation
is this: The price of zinc has been
around seven cents for nearly Is
months, while lead has lowered
around six cents for a year. The
cost of production, including food,
supplies, powder, tools, clothing and
labor, has increased enormously =
in many instances from so per cent
to 100 per cent. Freight rates have
been increased % per cent, with a
chance of going much higher. In
fact everything has risen, with the
exception of the prices of lead, zinc
and copper.
AS long ago as Is months, it was
impossible to make much of a mar
gin on zinc at eight cents, but today,
how much more impossible! The
development of the zinc oxide in
dustry and the consequent market
for mixed ores, has proved of some
benefit through a slight lowering
in cost of production, but it is easy
to see that, taken as a while, the
situation has been far from bright.
In a district of the character of
the Yellow Pine, where the ore is
the result of requirements or fis-
sure deposits, the leasing system is
the most practicable method of de-
velopment, and conditions which
tend to discourage leasers retard
development. What the district,
and in fact, the state of Nevada and
the mining industry as a whole
want, is fair prices - prices that
will stimulate development and pro-
duction. According to the present
outlook, it will be but a short time
until the government will be hard
pressed for supplies of lead, copper
and zinc, and yet, with the produc-
ton of these metals being cut down
from month to month, when the
pinch comes it will be difficult even
to begin to supply the demand.
We want our legislators at Wash
ington to look into the matter and
work for improved conditions along
this line. Not only does the govern
ment need our productions, but it
also needs our citizens money for
the purchase of Liberty bonds, War
Savings stamps, etc. Stimulate
mining-don't crush it's our plea
to Washington. No one wants to
profiteer, but we do want enough
to put our industry on its feet-in
other words, we want to be able to
pay our bills and meet our financial
obligations to the nation. If rail-
road employees are entitled to a
raise because of the increased cost
Of living, why are other industries
not entitled to a similar privilege?

YELLOW PINE DISTRICT SUFFERS
FROW HIGH COST OF PRODUCTION

The past six months has been. II
may be safely said, a period of dis
ccuragement rather than one of en-
couragement, as far as mining is
concerned.
The year 1916 was one of un-
%paralleled prosperity in the Yellow
Pine district. The price of zinc vas
inflated to almost unbelievable fig
ures, and the war had so far not
greatly increased the cost of pro-
d~uction, a combination which was
bound to stimulate the operations
of the leasers.
About is months ago there were
about 35 or 40 leases being oper-
ated in the Yellow Pine district,
each of which was shipping its
regular one, two or three cars OF
ore per month, each car bringing a
handsome profit to the producers.
This was in addition to the produc-
ton maintained by the incorporated
companies and mine owners working
their own properties.
During November and December
of that year, came a slight awaken
ing of capitalists to the fact that
this district is on the map as a most
promising and practically undevel-
oped territory. Trading in Good
springs stocks was lively and prices
scared so that many neat little for
tunes we're realized by those who
played just right. Of course there
are on record stories of neat little
fortunes that were lost-or rather,
won by the other party-but the
situation was most i~nvigOrating
while it lasted.
Then came the peace talk" OF
late December, and the bubble
burst. 1t was all owe so suddenly
that no one could realize it. AT
the time no. one could understand
the sudden quiet which invaded the
stock market, indirectly affecting
the whole district, or rather, the
entire mining industry.
Looking back from the present
time, it is easy to see how an over
supply of zinc, due to inflated
prices, was hurting the zinc market,
but the story was unknown at the
time. Then lead took it's short, but
airy flight through the clouds and
for a few moments prosperity was
able to sit up and take notice,
though she never fully recovered her
former vigor. An untimely embar-
go on lead, due of course to over
production, helped to lose money
for many producers, for by the time
it was lifted the price had slumped
to 6 cents.
That was very nearly a year ago,
and since that time we have been
endeavoring to recover from the

Sheepmen are experiencing trou-
