foot body OF sulphide ore has been
proven on this level, assuring per-
manency.
From one of these drifts a winze
has been sunk to a depth of 80 feet
on ore and the whole width of the
driit being run from the bottom of
the Wine was in ore and every
pound of rock extracted in the
curse of carrying on development
work, and piled on the dump was a
good grade of commercial ore, some
of which carried value in gold and
silver of better than 5000 a ton.
Not q pound of waste is being
taken out.
A streak of blue rock similar to
the Tonopah Divide runs through
the main orebody, varying in width
of from two feet to four feet, car
ries gold values of from $50 to
SIS per ton and is an ideal milling
proposition. The o%rebodies have
been proved to a depth of $50 feet,
showing ore reserves of several
thousand tons, besides more than
1000 tons of good grade CONNER
cial ore and some high-grade, piled
on the dumps. awaiting treatment
and more being added to it with
every shift worked.
The management of the Nevada
Gold Mines company has closed a
contract with the Nevada Ore and
Copper company for treatment of
their ore at the latter company's
mill at Kincaid. improvements
have been made, a cyanide plant
added and the capacity of the mill
increased to so tons daily and an
additional so tons will be added
at once. The present mill will be
put in commission in about three
or four weeks.
Tests have shown that the plant
will make a saving of values on the
ore of the Carbonate group of from
92 to SO per cent. The haul from
the mine to the mill is Two and a
half miles down hill over a good
road and consequently the trans
portation costs will be very light.
The contract for milling calls for
100 tons per day when the full ca
pacity of the plant is completed,
and this amount the Nevada Gold
Mines company will furnish indefi-
nitely without an effort.
The other holdings of the COM
pany include the Montreal group,
about two miles from which $780,
900 in jewelry ore was taken from
shallow workings. This is a high
grade gold proposition and has a
splendid showing of good grade
milling ores.
The Spectator group lies two
and a half miles east of Acme tank.
Quite an amount of development
work has been done which has
shown up good bodies of gold ore
of a good milling grade. 1t bears
every evidence of developing into a
profitable producing mining prop
erty.
The Silver Group lies about five
miles to the west of Luning and
the Southern Pacific railway, it's
near neighbors are the old Lincoln
mine with a production of $780,
900 in high-grade silver ore and
the Lolita, with a production in the
neighborhood of $1,00O,OO0 1t is
favorably located in what was for
merly known as the Garfield min
ing district, the mines OF which in
early days we're famous for their
production of ~high-grade silver and
gold ores, a territory three miles
wide by six miles long being &C
credited with a production OF
about SAT, 100000. The veins ira
versing the ground of the Silver
groups are believed to be a continu-

nine and this belief is being sub
stantiated by the character of the
ore being extracted. The ore, carry
ing values principally in silver,
showed assay returns as high as
700 ounces per ton. Development
on these holdings has been by
mean of tunnels and promising
bodies of ore have been proved. In
face quite a tonnage of h~igh-grade
shipping ore is now blocked out
