The drift now being run on the
375-foot level of the Great Bend
mine has been advanced 100 feet
from the shaft in an easterly direc-
tion and 200 feet more work will
be necessary before orebodies open
ed on the 350-foot level will be cut.
AS a result of work on main and
intermediate levels above the one
on which the drift is being driven
now, ore of high grade was shipped
over a period of several months and
slopes on the 250-foot level have at
tanned large dimensions.
In addition to ore shipped from
the upper levels of the mine, work
on these levels resulted in large
bodies of good ore suitable for
treatment in a mill on the ground
being exposed, and opening of this
grade of ore in quantity on the 375-
foot level will render highly profit
able the enlargement and equipment
with modern machinery of mill

SET FORTH IN REPORTS

which the company is being han
died.
The weeks report of mining OPP
erations discloses the same salts
factory condition which has pre-
vailed at this property for some time
past, with little IL any change to
mention, the company's operations
having reached that stage of devel-
opment where it is rather routine
in it's nature and can not be expect
ed to unfold any new discoveries of
interest. The regular amount of
development and exploratory work
was prosecuted during the week.
Tonopah Extension
On Aug. the Tonopah Extension
company shipped to the smelter 26
bars of silver-gold bullion weigh
ing $500 ounces, with a valuation
of $5S,7O0. This shipment was the
result of the final cleanup of the
company's mill for the month of
July and reflects the same splendid
production from the lower levels
that has been maintained for some
months. The cleanup for the first
half of July amounted to 6S,910
ounces of bullion, valued at ST.
SOC, making the total amount OF
money realized for the two clean
ups covering the entire month OF
July $136,506.

GREAT BEND DRIFTING TO CUT
ORE FOUND ON UPPER LEVELS

now on the ground and the treat
ment of this ore.
AS the ore-shoots in the Great
Bend rake to the east, it will be
necessary to drift on the 375-foot
level a longer distance than on up
per levels before the orebodies are
cut, and if good ore is opened in
the course of the work as the drift
is extended into territory near the
old Lockhart lease shaft, 1000 feet
from the main working shaft, the
drift will be continued into the old
workings and the Lockhart shaft
repaired and used for hosting ore.
The Lockhart shaft is equipped with
an excellent surface plant.
A raise from stope on the 160-
foot level, known as 102-B stope.
is approaching the surface, which is
2S5 feet from the point where the
raise was started. This working is
being driven to the surface to Sc
cure air and. after it has reached
the surface. drifting will be start
ed from it at point near the stope.

FLORENCE GOLDFIELD COMPANY
STILL In HANDS Of RECEIVER

was thought by Judge Walsh and
Receiver Harry B. Clapp that the
affairs could be closed in a short
time. At that time number of
high-grade orebodies were being
worked by lessees, but since then
conditions in the mine are reported
10 have changed.
1t is now reported that a number
OF lessees are extracting ore for
shipment and that shipments will
go forward as soon as enough ore
has been saved to make carload lots.
i Judge Walsh states that money
received by the receiver from these
shipments may be sufficient to
clear the Indebtedness, but that it
is possible the receivership may eK
tend over several more months.

The affairs of the Florence Gold
field Mining company receivership
have not yet been closed. All cred
itors have been paid in full, but
small sums in commissions to the
receiver and attorney fees still re-
main unpaid, according to persons
interested in the affairs of the re-
ceivership. District Judge J. EN-
NETT Walsh states that the payment
of sums remaining due and the
closing of the receivership depends
entirely on mine conditions and that
the shipment of one carload of ore
of a good grade by lessees would
be sufficient to pay the remaining
Indebtedness.
When lessees were making a
good production in the spring it

is calculated on the gross milling
value of the ore.
Tonopah Mining
The Tonopah Mining company, as
a result of the cleanup of the mill
for the month of July, shipped 23

Tonopah Miner: Dewatering and
repairing the Andes shaft is pro-
ceeding vigorously, and within a
few months this outlet will be ex-
tensively used in opening virgin
territory believed to contain rich
extensions of veins mined in pio-
neer days. The shaft has been
cleared to an approximate depth of
800 feet, and the old levels are be-
ing placed in shape for resumption
of mining. 1t is stated that much
ore of excellent grade exists in old
workings opened through the An
des shaft, and that this product can
be mined at good advantage with
silver commanding it's present price.
The Mexican vein has been de-
veloped for a distance exceedinF
feet in the drift between the $500
and 2400 levels. 1t continues to
show width of three feet of
quarts assaying around $3S per ton.
In addition to the ore, the porphy-
ritic formation shows such high
naturalization that considerable
tonnage of this material, averaging
nearly So per ton, is being mined.
All indications are favorable for o
decided improvement in dimensions
of the orebody as work advances.

REVIEW OF Mines OF COMSTOCK

Among the most important devel-
opments recently undertaken or
the Comstock lode has been the op-
ening to mining of the 1900 level
of the Sierra Nevada mine. The
vein on the $500 level is being de-
by raises and drifts, and
shows streaks of bonanza ore ac-
companying the milling quartz. A.
soon as the 1900 workings are re-
timbered drifts will be extended for
the purpose of opening the vein at
this point.
With the Union vein showing its
greatest strength and richest ore on
the $500 level of the Union Con
solidated, a raise has been started
from the 1900 to determine the
position of the vein below the $500
AS soon as this has been accomp-
lished driving of the cross-cut tC
open the orebody on the $500 level
will be resumed. Excellent ore con-
tinues to be drawn from the $500
and 2400 levels, with the south drift
from the 1000 advancing rapidly
for the purpose of intersecting the
upward extension of the Union
ledge. The company continues to
maintain heavy shipments of good
ore to the Mexican mill.

Ore is being broken in three plac.
es in the Red Hill Florence mine
and $50 tons, secured from work
in raises from the 400 and 5O0-foot
levels, is ready for shipment and
will be sent to the smelter as soon
as cars can be secured.
One car is promised the company
in the next few days and this will
be loaded with 55 tons and the re-
mainder of the ore will be loaded
as cars can be secured.
An orebody containing high-grade
material and from which assays
varying widely have been secured
in the progress of work has been
opened in a cross-cut in the foot
wall of the vein on the 400-foot
level.
Although the ore-channels in the
Red Hill have been explored only
to a limited extent, ore opened thus
far in the work has been highly sat
isfactory and a substantial output
of a product that has returned good
profits has been made. The latest
discoveries in the two raises have
resulted in a good production of

high-grade ore being made and the
ore at these two points continues
of high grade. In the raise from
the 50O-foot level two feet of ore
assaying $3.50 is being broken and
the one from the 400-foot level has
exposed three feet assaying over
$400.
The main shaft of the Red Hill
company is 500 feet in depth, with
stations cut at 100-foot intervals
from the 50O-foot point, and the
shaft has been retimbered to the
60O-foot level The opening Of the
lower levels will be undertaken as
the development of the mine pro-
crosses. to explore the ore-channel
at depths below any levels on which
development work has been done.
Work thus far has been more in
the nature of development than for
the purpose of opening ore in guam
tity, but it has served to place the
property in such condition that the
entire territory owned and leased
by the company can be explored
thoroughly, with promise Of results
of Importance being attained as the
work progresses.

FAMOUS Mine
IS AGAIN
OPENED
MONITOR BELMONT BEING
WORKED BY NEVADA WON
DER COMPANY

One of the most prolific of Neva-
da's early-day bonanza silver mines
is to be worked again on a large
scale in the Philadelphia district,
near the old camp of Belmont, in
northern Nye county, about half
way between Tonopah and Austin.
The old Monitor Belmont property
has been acquired by the Nevada
Wonder Mining company and is
being unwatered and developed un-
der the direction of E. E. Carpen-
ter, general superintendent for the
Nevada Wonder company.
Many years ago the Monitor Bel
mont property was operated on a
broad scale and is reported to have
made a production running into
the millions, but a large flow OF
water came in at a depth of 700
feet and with the decline in the
price of silver operations were sus-
pended. The water has filled the
old workings to the 200-foot level,
but no serious difficulty is expected
in unwatering the mine to the old
deep levels and in sinking to great
er depth, with the aid of equipment
now available.
Quantities of rich ore were found
in developing the property and the
greater part of the ore was treated
in a mill on the ground, costs OF
operation at the time exceeding $50
per ton of ore mined. A large
amount of development work on
various levels was done between the
years 1865 and 1880 and the pro-
duction continued even after silver
had declined in value to consider
able degree. The property is
equipped with a modern flotation
plant, built only within the last few
years, but tests of the ore indicate
that a high extraction can be ef-
fected by concentration and cyani-
dation. although further tests with
Rotation are to be made.
At the Nevada Wonder mine de-
velopment has progressed to depth
of 20OO feet and the mill is treating
$50 tons of ore daily and has con-
tinued, even under adverse war con-
ditions, to earn dividends for the
stockholders. The best ore has
come from between the 500 and
70O-foot levels and there is suffi-
cient ore blocked out in the mine to
supply the mill at full capacity for
several years to come. The Won
der mine has been one OF the
most consistent dividend payers in
Nevada, and according to good au-
thority it gives promise Of continu7
ing this record indefinitely.

TON0PAH Divide NOW IN front RANK OF Big Mines

west of the Divide mine, and the re-
suits obtained within a short per-
iod and under adverse conditions
are highly commended by mining
men of the district. Under the man
agement of E. p Cullinan the prop
erty has been equipped with an ex-
cellent surface plant, including
hoist, compressor. lighting plant,
substantial head-frame and cage,
with private telephone line to Tono-
pah, and the main shaft has been
sunk to a depth of 800 feet, where
lateral development work is now in
progress.
A cross-cut is being advanced to
the east to cut one of the main
veins of the district, while another
cross-cut will be started soon to the
west to prospect the Brougher vein.
The electric power line has been ex-
tended to the engine house. a trans
former house installed, and connec-
tion with the current will be made
shortly. when capacity for develop
ment will be materially increased
and additional drills will be made
available. The ventilating system
is designed for extensive work, the
powerful blower working by suction
and fresh air being driven into the
bottom workings through the man
way, which forms a chimney ex-
tending 35 feet above the collar
of the shaft.
In sinking the shaft a quartz zone
was penetrated at a depth of $50
feet, where assays were obtained
varying from $3.50 to $22 per ton
in silver and gold. The bottom lev
which shows a high degree of oxi
dation, and Manager Cullinan ex-
poets to cut the east vein within the
next week on this level.
On the Brougher Divide property,
which is controlled by George
Wingfield and Fl. c. Brougher, own
ers of the Divide mine, development
work is being conducted at a depth
of 1T feet, which corresponds in
elevation with the 265-foot level OF
the adjoining Divide workings.
Drifts are being extended both ways
on the Divide vein in this ground,
in ore of low grade, and an improve
ment in the assays has been report
ed during the past few days, par
ticularly in the drift that is ad-
vancing toward the Divide mine.
The Divide Extension, of which
Zeb Kendall of Tonopah is one of
the principal owners. has a we'll
equipped shaft, and surface indica-
tions similar to those on the ad-
joining Divide and Brougher prop
critics. The Gold Zone is working
energetically and has cut the main
vein in a southwest cross-cut at
depth of 295 feet. The East Divide,
which is said to have one of the
best surface showings in the dis
trict is controlled by Goldfield men
who have lately enlisted Pittsburgh
capital to develop the property.
Joe Mayer, Ben Gill, J. X. Turner,
C. S. Sprague and C. A. Leager are
directors of the company. The Has
brouck, High Divide. Gold Reef and
Sutherland Divide companies are
planning active development OF
their properties.

CONFERENCE
ABANDONS
BONUS
RENO MEETING ASKS RELIEF
FOR HIGH PRODUCTION
COSTS

The American gold conference
opened in Reno Monday morning
with go delegates present, including
men high in the ranks of finance
and mining and milling.
On Tuesday morning resolution
was presented asking that bonus
on gold production be paid by the
government and that the bonus be
large enough to cover the increased
cost of production caused by the
war and to stimulate and increase
mining for the metal. No fixed
amount was named.
On Wednesday a substitute for
this resolution was offered and
adopted, the substitute making no
mention of any specific plan to aid
the industry such as was contained
in the original resolution.
The resolution which was adopt
ed asked relief by the United States
to the gold producers of this coun-
try to correspond with the increas-
ed cost of production. the extent of
such relief to be fixed from time to
time to meet changing conditions"
Following adoption of the resolu-
tion, Governor Boyle appointed
nominating committee to select
committee of five to carry the res
olution to Washington and present
it to the government.
Among the prominent speakers
at the conference were J. F. Call
breath, secretary of the American
Mining Congress, and John Clausen.
vice president of the Crocker Ma
tional bank of San Francisco.
Callbreath said in his address:
"The cost of gold production today
is estimated at 60 per cent greater
than during the pre-war period.
"Gold is the basis of the worlds
credit and the credit of the coun-
try must be maintained If the war

clusion. The gold reserves of the
country cannot be taken away as
rapidly as they are being taken and
the source of supply cut off with
out the credit of the country suf-
fering."
Speaking on Tuesday, John Clau-
sen said: 'No more interesting
chapter will be written in economic
| history than that which deals with
the problem of the proper distribu
| tion of the worlds gold supply.
Probably there was never great
er need than now for cooperation
of our Industrial and financial ele-
ments to devise a workable plan for
control of an increased production of
that precious metal
"a man once said, Necessity
opens our eyes to the advantage of
fresh principles and. as I see it.
