STITUTE DROPPED
FROM ROLLS

NEW YORK, June 10.-At a
meeting of the board of directors
of the American Institute of Min
ing Engineers, which has just been
held here, it was decided to drop
all enemy aliens from membership.
The meeting, which was under
the craftsmanship of Sidney j. Jen-
nings, president of the Institute,
was attended by % of the 25 di-
rectors, among them the chairman
and four members of the naval con-
sulting board.
The action of the board of direc-
tors is said to affect the status of
81 German scientists and one Aus
trian professor who held either
honorary or active membership in
the association. The Institute 10Y
has a membership of about $500
in this country and there are o
than 1000 members abroad.

GUGGENHt|MS BUY
GOOD HOPE MINE
ELKO COUNTY PROPERTY TO
BE WORKED BY BIG
COMPANY

The Guggenheim people. famous
the world over as the foremost
mining concern in the western
hemisphere, have purchased the
Midnight claim in the Good Hope
Mining district, % miles west of
&? uscarora. The claim was former
ly owned by j. w. Reed and r. NJ.
Lesher. The consideration is said
10 be between $4,000 and $780,
coo. A payment was made on the
deal yesterday when the owner met
in Elko with a representative of
the %Guggenheim interests for the
purpose of completing the transfer.
The Midnight mine has been an
excellent producer in the past, hav-
ing given up approximately $780,
600 worth of silver ore. At pre-
sent the claim is under lease to c.
Z. Woodward and Anderson &
Reed. The ~Guggenheim interests
will take possession of it on the
first of next year, although they
will begin on the work of develop
nient Immediately. They also have
taken options upon several other
claims in the district.
The news that this company has
entered into Elko county mining
activities will be welcome to the
citizens of the county. The Gug-
eenheim interests do not as a rule
place their bets upon any losing
card, in western p~arlance. When
they make an investment it is US
ually carefully chosen. 1t is safe
to predict that under their super
vision the Good Hope district will
see great future prosperity.
The preliminary examinations of
the Midnight claim were made by
the company's minerologist, Mr.. w.
X. HUMPHREYS who expressed him.
self as highly satisfied with the
showing and very confident hat
the mine would be a large producer
in the future. The turning of the
Guggenheim interests to the silver
industry has been promoted by the
recent rise in the latter commo-
oity.-Elko Independent.

PROJECTORS HAVE
FOUND LOST MINE
LEGENDARY DISCOVERY is BE-
LIEVED TO HAVE BEEN
LOCATED AGAIN

Since J.. B. Tregloan and Jack
Shepard of Tonopah acquired contro'
OF the %cinnabar group in the Pilot
mountains, north of Summit springs,
it appears from the "reminiscences Of
several old-timers in that section
that this is the ground that was
searched for so long by John H2w-
thorne, after whom the town of
is said. was once postmaster at one
of the stations on the old Ha Nthorns
road.
Hawthorne used often to go into
the hills and always declar III that ii
he could find the cinnabar mine he
had run across during his days IF
prospecting, his fortune was made.
He always claimed it was in the
mountains east of Sodaville, which
is the location of the ground held by
Tregloan and Shepard.
1t would be a fortunate stroke of
luck for these men if this were true,
because the country is said to be
identical with the territory Haw-
thorne used to prospect in the early
days. The lodges are hard to locate
unless one is quite familiar with
the mountain trails, and the cinnabar
is hard to distinguish casually from
the surrounding rocks that have an
iron stain similar in color to CHINA
bar when oxidized by exposure to
the weather. The outcrop was suffi-
GENTLY rich to permit of getting con-
s~idebarble mercury out last year with
a very crude and primitive pipe re-
tort.-Tonopah Times.

BUILDING POWER LINE
TO DIVIDE DISTRICT

The work of digging the pole
holes for the Tonopah-Gold Noun
tain started this morning and will be
rushed with all possible speed. The
surveying of the power line was COM
pleted several days ago by w. A.
Ray. county surveyor, who found
the distance from Tonopah to be
five miles and 1900 feet. The line
will be run direct from the Jim
Butler mine to the Tonopah Divide
shaft.
F.. H. Bruce, local superintendent
for the power company, stated that
the wires would be strung as soon
as the line is completed, as all lee
essary equipment has been received
here. 1t is hoped to have the line
completed by June Is. = Tonopah

OREGON
HAS C|NhABAR MINE
PRODUCT WILL BE SHIPPED TO
MARKET THROUGH
NEVADA

What appears at present to be a
new and extensive deposit of CHINA
bar ore was located last summer by
the Bretz brothers and Thomas H.
Murphy in Malheur county. Oregon,
about IL miles from McDermitt in
the northern part of Humboldt coun-
ty.
The deposit covers a large rea of
sulphide and metacinnabar ores and
is traversed by dykes of rhyolite
rock, in this respect being similar
to the famous Almaden quicksilver
mines. The owners bonded and
leased the property to Warren &
Hawkins of Winnemucca, who, after
surveying and perfecting titles, sold
the property to Garwood & Caraplis
of San Francisco.
The latter and their associates are
largely interested in the mining OF
coal and other staple products in
Washington and other places, and
have organized a corporation called
the Flamingo Mercury Mines COM
pany, which is now developing the
property and will in case the devel-
opments justify install a plant with
a capacity of 400 tons daily for the
reduction of the ore. The plant will
be of entirely new design and prin-
ciple, beng a recently patented de-
vice for the reduction of votilizing
ores of low grade to a point of high
extraction at small cost.
Although the property is situated
in southern Oregon, Winnemucca
and McDermitt will be the points of
supply and shipment for the favor
able development of the property
and will add greatly to the business
of both places.
The United States government has
tommandeered 40 per cent OF the
output of all American properties 1T
$105 a flask, which contains about
rs pounds of the metaloid. The sell
ing market rates are much above
that figure and the mining of quick
silver during the past few years has
been very profitable and will doubt
less so continue for the period of the
war and long afterward, as the old
stock has long been exhausted and
the new uses have greatly increased.
H. A.. Caraplis is president and
George P. Garwood is secretary of
the enw corporation. It's principal
place of business in this state is at
Star.

MINES ARE ACTIVE
IN LANDER COUNTY
KIMBERLY, HILLTOP AND 9TH
ERS ARE NEAR PRODUCING
STAGE

A strike of marked Importance
has recently been made on the Gray
Eagle property at Hilltop on what
was known in the earlier mining
history of the district as the LOWE
mine.
The property is being worked by
John Mason and A. Foller and bears
every indication of being a steady
shipper.
The values are in h~igh-grade sill
yer and lead. The first two cars,
returns from which have been re-
ceived, Melted the owners handsome
results. The third a will be
shipped in a short time, regular
shipments to follow.
The Kimberly Consolidated is now
operating the mill with two shifts,
the recent storms having added to
the water supply. The Kimberly
orebodies continue to be of a fine
grade and regular shipments on
tinue to go out from the local sta
ton.
The galena mines recently taken
over from the French company by
the Nicklas Mining company are
now being opened up. Under the
systematic plan of development pur-
sued by the Nicklas management I'M
der the guidance of H. B. Menardi
the company's holdings will soon
be in one of the districts best pro-
ducing classes.

RICH C|NNAbAR
MINE IS SOLD
PROPERTY IN PILOT RANGE Is
SAID TO BE VAL
liable

Jack Shepard, of Tonopah, one
of the best prospectors in southern
Nevada, who recently came across
& group of cinnabar claims in the
Pilot range, in Mineral county,
about so miles northwest of Tono-
pah, brought the matter to the at
tention of j. B.. Tregloan, superin-
tendent of the MacNamara mill,
with the result that a deal has just
been consummated. The deal cov-
ers the entire group of IA claims,
which are owned by Fred Fletcher
and Oscar Gallagher, of Dyer, New.
These men recently located the
claims, which cover a very promin-
ent outcrop of cinnabar ore, a
large amount of fire wood, springs,
q flowing we'll and brick clay.
Agreements to work and deeds to
the several claims have been placed
with the Tonopah Banking Corpora
ton of Tonopah.
This district has for some time
been active in the production of
mercury. Tregloan has been active
in former years in hunting for and
producing mercury from cinnabar
mines, his father and grandfather
having been at one time identified
with the New Alamaden quicksilver
mine in California. MI. Tregloan
organized the Mercury Mining COM
pany in lone, and was successful
in financing it with prominent San
Francisco capitalists severals years
ago.
This property has produced a
large amount of quicksilver for a
Nevada quicksilver mine and is still
producing at a nice net profit The
cost of acquiring, developing and
eQuipping the Mercury property
amounted to nearly $100, 200.
Mr.. Tregloan says the showing
on the Pilot range group is far
superior without any development
work having been done to that on
the Mercury property in lone, after
considerable money had been spent
in development work.
Quicksilver is o selling for
800 to sos per flask, and after a
treatment plant has been erected
can be produced in the neighbour
hood of $50 per flask, handling very
low-grade ores with large capacity
furnace. When the mercury COM
rany was organized quicksilver was
selling around $40 odd per flask,
and at that time cost in the neigh
borhood of $40 a flask to produce
it. Judging from present condi-
lions, after the preliminary devel-
opment work is done on the Pilot
range groups, these properties
should get into the producing class
very quickly.
Cinnabar ore is one of the cheap
CoI hlOhh W NiSoR NHo
plant consisting simply of a rock
crusher, and sometimes a steam
dryer is used should the ore con
tain much moisture. The rock is
crushed to about the size of the
ordinary mill feed, as used in the
Ionopah mills, after passing
through the rock crusher. Pure Gin
nabar, or the sulphide of mercury,
is of a vermillion color, and when
pure in nature, or manufactured
product, is used after being pow
dered and mixed with oils to make
the pure vermillion color. which
cannot be attained in any other
way.-Tonopah Times.
