Gets Large Award

Martin Schuppe has been award
ed a total of $4,000 by the state in
dustrial commission for injuries re-
ceived at Ely while in the employ
of the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company. Schuppe was loading an
ore train when a stick of powder fell
down an ore chute and exploded, 1t
was claimed the prescribed warning
of blasting going on above him was
not given. He was awarded $210O
for the loss of a foot and 5000 for
part loss of his hearing.

even to the extent of the securing of
options on rails and locomotives, 1t
is understood that pending the out
come of the examination made by the
bureau of mines, no transportation
contracts will be 0tered into by the
Manganese association. According to
several officials of the Salt Lake
Route who have examined the prop
erty, and who are interested in its
progress, any action taken in the
/ building of a branch line will, under
present conditions, have to be done
at the instigation of the government.
With mining activity in other met
ais at a low ebb in the county, the
sudden discovery and development in
the past few months of what is now
proved one of the largest fields of
metallic MISUNDERSTANDING ore in
the United States at Las Vegas very
! door, portends renewed activity for
Las Vegas and the county and will
place Nevada in the front rank as a
producer of another metal, indis-
pensible in the prosecution of the
war.
Whether the outcome of the exam
ination will result in the laying of
rails by government order to thS field
is al present problematical, every
thing depending upon the rep TT OF
the bureau representative after a
thorough examination has been COM
pleted. 1t can be stated, however,
on good authority, that should no
action be taken by the government,
private interests have secured options
on the required amount of rails and
motive power and are waiting to
close a contract with the lessees of
the original find for their output.
In addition to the original loca-
tions, the entire country surrounding
the original find has been located
and several of the adjoining proper
ties have developed surface workings
indicating an even greater extent OF
the field.-Clark County Review.

BUYS CLAIM
AT GOLD MT

A mining deal that promises much
for the future of Gold Mountain was
consummated yesterday, VIII n Nick
Cooper, travelling representative OF
the Westinghouse Electric company,
purchased from William Taylor the
Mammoth No. 3 lode mining claim.
While the purchase price was not
made known it is understood to have
been of a substantial nature.
The property in question lies
about 600 feet to the northwest OF
the famous Tonopah Divide shaft,
which was recently the scene of one
of the most important mineral finds
ever made in the Gold Mountain dis
trict, and which was largely respon-
sible for George Wingfield return
ing to his old love-Tonopah-with
a determination to become a domi-
nant factor in the %upgrowth Of this
community.
Mr.. Cooper announced yesterday
that the Mammoth was the only
property in this section in which he
is interested, although he has been
mining in California for a long per-
cd. He and his associates contem-
plate inaugurating an energetic cam
paign of exploration in the near flu
ture upon their own estate. He is
we'll known in Tonopah, having fire.
quently visited here during the past
few years.
Mr.. Taylor. who disposed of the
Mammoth No. 3, still holds an in
terest in ground lying between the
Mammoth No. 3 and the Tonopah
Divide holdings.
The ground sold to Mr.. Cooper is
directly on the strike of the Tonopah
Divide vein system, and great things
are expected by the owner when he
gets development well under way.

ore 1T several points. At the north
ern extremity of this work an ore
body was exposed showing about five
feet of shipping-grade ore, carrying
gold and copper, and a Wine was
started on this ore, but was sunk
only a few feet when the heavy flow
of water made it necessary to dis
continue sinking and no further
work was undertaken at this point
until recently.
With the draining of the 1750-foot
level it has again become possible to
sink at this point and lately Man.
ager Darcy started work in this
WINE, which will be sunk as the
work elsewhere permits. The hang
ing wall winze has not yet pro-
crossed sufficiently to determine the
extent of the ore found here, but is
still showing a good width of ore OF
excellent average grade. Later 1t
will be continued down on the ore
and connection will ultimately be
made with the 1900-foot level by
raising from the latter.
1t is generally conceded that the
results obtained by the Atlanta
company in it's deep development
work during the next few months
are destined to influence in large
measure the future of deep mining
in the Goldfield district. Indications
on the 1750-foot level point to the
continuance at greater depth of
large bodies of ore, at least of mill
ing grade, and all main levels of the
mine are showing large quantities

Lumber valued at $4,000, con-
sisting of between 100000 and
100000 feet of two-inch material,
was destroyed a few days ago by a
fire that swept a portion of the
yards of the Verdi Lumber COM
pany at Verdi. The fire is believed
to have been started by a high-volt-
G wire that was broken by high
wind and fell on a pile of lumber.
All the residents of the town turn
ed out to fight the flames.

Las Vegas May Become Center
Of Great Manganese Industry

Presaging mining activity in Clark
county on a scale heretofore I'M
thought of, with the probability that
Las Vegas will shortly become one Of
the largest producers of metallic
manganese for war purposes in the
United States, word was received
here in a telegram Wednesday from
United States Senator Key Pittman
that an immediate geological survey
of the manganese field located Is
miles east of this city is to be made
by the United tates bureau of mines.
The survey will be made to deter
mine for the government the extent
of the field and the tonnage of ore
available, with a view to government
assistance in the transportation of
the ore to the Salt Lake Route here
for shipment east.
Notwithstanding the pressing mat
tiers before the bureau, Senotor Pitt
mans telegram indicates that imme-
diate action will be taken. His wire
is as follows:
Bureau of mines assures me early
examination will be made of proper
ty. Am crowding as rapidly as on
ditions will permit"
The field has now developed to a
point where it is certain government
action in the matter of transportation
will follow, in order to facilitate the
immediate marketing of the ore,
which is a necessary requisite to the
steel industry in the manufacture of
arms and munitions. At the present
time the bulk of the manganese used
in this country is being transported
from Brazil, and it is to relieve the
bottoms necessary in this trade with
South America that the government
is seeking increased production in the
United States.
Although there have been several
plans on foot backed by private in
terests to finance the building of a
railroad from Las Vegas to the field,

HIGH RECOVERY

owing to the necessity for using
wooden pipe under high pressure.
Equipment for the mill, of the
latest and most approved type
throughout, was secured promptly,
in spite of difficulties experienced
almost everywhere in obtaining de-
livery of new machinery, and the
plant was started nearly on sched-
ule. The mill is of most substan-
tial construction and is so designed
that additional units can be built at
relatively small cost to greatly in
crease capacity. The entire plant,
including the mill crushing and
hosting equipment, is driven by
electricity, generated by oil-burning
engines.
Development work has progress
ed on various levels of the mine,
down to the 500-foot level. and
large bodies Of excellent mill ore
have been placed in sight and are
being blocked out for future extrac-
ton. The dump at the collar OF the
shaft contains a large tonnage of
good mill ore and some of this
product is being treated with ore
from the mine, in addition to some
custom ore, chiefly from the Orlean
property. The main incline shaft is
being sunk to reach the permanent
water level and development work
will soon be in progress on the 700
foot level.
