SMALLER PRODUCER
AFFORDED MARKET
ORE PURCHASING COMPANY TO
BUY LIMITED ORE
SHIPMENTS

The development of the mangan-
csc and chrome ore deposits in Ne
yada promises to be very extensive
within the next few months and the
production increases to ten to fiji
teen thousand tons a month, ac-
cording to Frank NJ. Manson, man.
ager of the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company, who returned this
morning from an extended trip to
Washington and other points in the
cast.
While in the east Mr.. Manson
made arrangements by which his
company will be able in the future
TO handle all shipments of mangan-
csc and chrome ores, paying for
them at the smelter the same as is
cone for copper, silver and gold
pres. In the past the manganese
shipper has had to wait until he
had secured a full carload of the
ore before he could ship it, as the
steel plants refused to take less
tl,an carload lots. This resulted
in stopping the mining for mangan-
csc to a large extent as the average
producer was not able to carry the
Gre until he had a carload.
Under the plan worked put by
Manson and his associates it will
now be possible for the manganese
rrospector to secure a small ship
ment of ore, sell it and continue de-
velopment work. The government
is urging the development of man
ganese deposits and it was due
largely to activity of the govern
ment that Manson was able to per-
feet a plan to buy the ore as fast
as 1t Is mined.
Manganese running 40 to SO per
tent is worth from 80 cents to $1.1O
Ter unit. The main interfering ele-
ments r high silica, iron and
phosphorus with a Is per cent
maximum for silica.-Gazette.

, ERINGTON MOUNTAIN
SUsPENDs OPERATIONS

The Yerington Mountain Copper
company has stopped work on its
sold property at Phonolite although
still continuing to hold the option.
The reason for s%uspending work is
the difficulty of getting machinery
end mine supplies at anything like
a reasonable cost. The develop
y1ent has reached a stage where 1t
was necessary to install power hoist
end other machinery with poor
prospect of securing the equipment.
The Mercury Mining company,
located near the lone. is operating
to full capacity and turning out be
tween rs and 80 TASKS a month,
,alued at approximately $4,000.
This company is the leading produc-
or of quicksilver in Nevada and is
controlled by the Requa-Bradley
interests. This week the Nevada
Cinnabar company managed by F.
Davis resumed operations and will
continue to run during the remain
Ger of the season as the demand
for quicksilver is so great that the
present supply is inadequate to fill
orders.-Gazette.

JESSE GRANT IS AGAIN
TRYING FOR A DIVORCES

Jesse r. Grant, son OF General
ULYSSES S. Grant. has filed a suit
for divorce, through his attorneys
Gibbons, Hoyt, French & Spring
never of Reno, in Tonopah, Nye
county, Nevada, on the grounds or
desertion.
The suit was first filed by Grants
attorneys at Goldfield in 1913, u
Just at the critical moment MRS.
Grant arrived on the scene n
filed a counter complaint which
caused a hitch in the case, with the
result that the court denied the d.
yorce. The case was then pigeon
holed for five years and now an
other attempt will be made to break
the nuptial ties. 1t is thought that
in this suit there will not be any eff
fort on the part of the defendant
to fight the claims.-Reno Gazette.
