DICRS BIG FUTURE FOR
DISTRICT

come one of the large producers of
silver and lead ores in the hear
future, judged by the development
work that has been done on the
property of the Louisiana Consoli-
dated Mining company, and that
with greater depth the ores now
being mined will improve in value,
Samuel Newhouse of Salt Lake
City, returned from Typo, located
about 55 miles from T%onopah,
after four days examination. He
departed for San Francisco and
expects to return in about two
weeks.
Discussing his impressions of
the new district, Mr.. Newhouse
said:
II was a~greeably impressed with
the work that has been done to
date on the property of the Louis
lana Consolidated Mining company.
The ore-bearing ledge is in the
limestone and the ledge proper
has been demonstrated for a dis
lance of approximately 1000 feet
along it's strike. 1t is intersected
at various points by cross assures,
at which points there is every rea-
son to believe larger orebodies
will be developed as the work of
opening up the property is carried
forward.
"One of these cross assures is
at least 16 feet in width and con-
siderable work has been done on
it. 1t contains much cube galena.
One very satisfying feature of the
ore now being mined is that it
carries two ounces of silver fer
each per cent of lead present. III
value it runs from 1925 to $3.50
per ton.
You must understand that the
property of the Louisiana Is not
in any sense a prospect. In the
early days when the company min
ed the oxidized ores the property
produced approximately 100000
down to the third level. A depth
of 500 feet is now showing cry
good ore and 1 was gratified 10
learn that the values grow strong
er as greater depth is attained.
The formation and the vein strue-
ture indicates that we may expect
large and permanent ore deposits
as greater depth is attained. With
that idea in view the development
work is being pushed ahead
rapidly.
1.-THE first unit of the new mill
has been installed and it is ex-
pected that it will be turning out
concentrates within the next 10
days. The metallurgical problem
is not a complex one. Other units
will be added to the mill from
time to time.
There are some large slopes in
the mine, one that shows ore of a
good milling grade for a width OF
40 feet. 1t also contains about
three feet of very good shipping
ore. With a considerable tonnage
of ore already in sight, with every
geological feature pointing to large
and permanent ore deposits, with
the metallurgical problem solved,
with development work being
pushed rapidly ahead and with a
stable market for silver and a
heavy demand for lead, the outlook
for the Louisiana Consolidated
Mining company is bright indeed"
Trucks were today started from
Typo carrying the high-grade ore
that is being shipped.
Mr.. Newhouse was %agreeably i'm
pressed with the plan of develop
carried out up to the tmle
OF his visit under the super Vision
of Walter Trent, Jr. He was con
fident that the camp of Typo is
about to enter upon another period
of prosperity much greater ethan it
enjoyed in it's boom days. That
this means much to Tonopah is the
opinion expressed by other miu .hs
men conversant with the district.
Mr.. Newhouse enjoys the repG-
among mining men o. hav-
ing identified himself with many
properties in the past
which under his management be-
came successful producers. tIe has
specialized along that particular
line.
Although Mr.. Newhouse did not
care to say so it is understood that
he will be added to the directorate
