REPORTS FROM over STATE
SHOW MANY Mines ACTIVE

It is predicted that If the close
of the war does not break the price
of tungsten greatly the two big
tungsten mines at Tungsten City,
in Humboldt county, will make
fortunes for their owners. This
district is said to contain the larg
est and richest tungsten deposits in
the country. Two mills of 125
tens daily capacity each are oper-
ating and 500 men are said to he
employed in the district. A. A.
Codd is operating a lease on one
of the Loring mines and is ship
ping to a custom mill at Toulon.
Later it is planned to have the
product treated at the Pacific mill,
new plant treating ore from the
Loring mines.
1t is planned to reduce operat-
ing expenses at the Northend Com
stock mines by permitting all lev
els to the 260O-foot point to fill
with water, thus materially reduc-
ing pumping costs. No work is be-
ing done in levels below the 1900
at present.
A carload shipment of GOLDFISH
yer ore assaying 500 a ton is be-
ing prepared by Paul Joubert, John
Waters and George Smith, owning
claims at Indian Creek, in the I'm
ty The ore is being extracted
from an 1S-inch vein.
Gold-silver ore valued at 500 a
ton is being hauled to Winnemuc-
ca from the Gem Five mine in
the Sunshine district of Humboldt
county. Forty tons recently was
shipped to a sampler by lessees.
The ore is sent to the United
Smelling & Refining company at
Kennett, Cal. The Gem Five mine
is situated short distance from
Winnemucca and men living in
that town are the principal stock
holders 1t is said that work by
the lessees has exposed a good
quantity of shipping grade ore.

NEVADA DOUGLAS
LOOKS PROMISING

Henry |. Moore, a director of the
Nevada Douglas Consolidated Cop
per company, with holdings at Lud-
wig, Nevada, says: I'VE are going
into the old cave at the south end
of the 70-foot level in the Ludwig
and are getting anywhere from IL
to 25 tons a day of oxidized ore, av-
eraging about four per cent. We
are mining from the high grade at
the north end of the 500 level about
80 to 35 tons per day, which is now
averaging approximately per cent.
We are preparing in the course Of
the next few weeks to put the
Western Nevada on a basis of 100
to 125 tons per day. The property
as a whole never looked more
promising than 1t does today, and
unless we receive a setback from
some source which / cannot fore
see at this time, before the begin
ming of the new year the Nevada
Douglas and the railroad will be
showing an actual net over all op-
Grating expenses of from $4,000
to $4,000 per month"

In prospecting under option OF
purchase the Silver Fox and Silver
Moon claims, situated nine miles
from Silver Peak, Frank Hertzer
and Dan O'Keefe have sunk shaft
SO feet feet and have crosscut to
the vein, which was found to be
four feet wide at this point. Good
assays were obtained across the
entire width, some as high as 5000,
practically all in silver, and as
soon as crosscuts have been extend
ed to the vein at greater depth
the ore will be stopped back to the
surface and a shipment made to
provide funds for developing the
claims on a broader scale. The
lessees say they have saved in
work done thus far several tons of
ore that will assay from $175 to
$500 per ton, and that the entire
vein will average well over $50.
They say they can ship $50 ore at
a profit.
The claims are owned by ]. e.

OCTOBER PROFITS OF
BUTLER WE'RE 5000

Tonopah Miner: The results of
the mining operations at the jim
Butler Tonopah Mining company
for the month of October have been
announced. From the shipment
and treatment of 1854 tons of ore,
a profit of $5942.5O was made. All
the tonnage produced by the mine
was sent to the Belmont mill at
Tonopah.
AS in the past few weeks, the
principal work done at the Jim
Butler was on the 800-foot level
from the Wandering Boy shaft,
where exploration and development
operations have been under way
for some time in connection with
operations that were planned for
the opening up of the Fraction
vein at depth. Fairly good head
way was made in the mining oper-
ations at this level.

field, who located them last sum-
mer. The latter has held other
claims in the district for several
years and has done considerable
work, making one shipment. De-
spite repeated efforts he never was
able to interest Goldfield or Tono-
pah men in the district until
Hertzer and O'Keefe saw possibili-
ties in the Silver Fox and Silver
Moon claims.
According to the lessees, the
vein has been traced on the sur
face for 1000 feet and claims have
been staked in all directions for
long distances from where they
are working. The lessees have
staked seven claims adjoining the
original discovery and have named
them the Linotype group.
Mining in the district is costly,
as supplies have to be hauled from
Goldfield. and the nearest water is
at Railroad springs, nine miles
from the property.

Point, in Humboldt county, which
he says is proving a winner. SO
cording to Kramer, while he has
done only a small amount of de
velopment work, he already has
made several shipments of $50 ore.
The main vein is four feet wide.
Lessees are also developing q
number of blocks. At present
shipments are being made from
40-foot shaft and trenches and i
is said that a number of good ore
bodies have been exposed in
work. The claims are situated
three miles from a railroad.
Fred II. Vahrencamp. for many
years one of the most widely
known mining men in Nevada. has
disposed of his interests in this
state and will make his headquar-
ters in MADEIRA county. Cal, where
he will operate the Texas Flat
mine on the Mother Lode.
Mining activity is increasing in
the Unionville district, in Hum
boldt county, according to re-
reports from there, and outside
capital is appearing for develop
ment of mines. The old Ari-
zona mine is being operated on
broad scale and large quantities of
ore of milling grade is exposed A
100-ton mill being erected at the
mine is nearing completion.

TONOPAH MINING DUMPS HAVE
ALL BEEN TREATED BY COMPANY

mine designated by the same name.
The tonnage report is consider
ably less than in previous weeks,
because of the fact that the ship
ments to the company's reduction
plant at Millers, following the
cleaning up of the dumps around
the Silver Top shaft have ceased,
and the only ore that is being
shipped consists of the product
from the underground workings
in the mine. The quantity of this
ore, which was shipped to the Bel
mont mill on the other side of Mt.
Oddie, remained about the same,
the company having kept up the
stopping work as much as practic-
able while curtailing the amount
of the development work.
With the one exception, there
fore, where drifting was done, the
weekly report contains no items
other than those of stopping on the
various levels. In detail, the work
done was as follows:
At the Silver Top shaft, on the
34O-foot level, stopping is still being
carried on at the western end OF
the filled stope. A good grade
of mill ore is being pulled from
this place and the usual produc-
tion was made and sent to the Bel
mont mill.
On the 440-foot level the regular
Stopping operations were forwarded
to the footwall of the Mizpah vein
a. a point east of the shaft. A
width of three to four feet of ore
continues to be exposed as this
progresses, and it's excellent values
show no signs of diminishing The
tonnage extracted from the stope
was about normal.
On the 540-foot level, the stope
on the Burro No. vein continues
to break against a face of milling
grade ore about four feet in
width. There has been no change,
so far as quantities or values are

GOLDFIELD men AGAIN PUT
TOLICHA DISTRICT ON MAP

month they have built good road
to the property and are about to
start a tunnel toward the bottom
of the 5O-foot shaft sunk when the
claims were worked under option
of purchase shortly after the dis
covery.
The Tolicha excitement started
late in July of last lear, after the
discovery had been made by Jack
Jordan and Ed Yaiser. The dis
trict was regarded as one of ex-
ceptional promise and claims were
staked for miles surrounding the
ground held by Jordan and Yaiser.
In q short time an option on the
Life Preserver group was taken by
Zeb Kendall OF Tonopah, who in
turn interested George Wingfield
with him and II men were put to
work prospecting the ground. At
that time this group, consisting of
three claims, was said to be travers-
ed by two large parallel veins and
it was said that the main vein
showed ore of milling grade over
a width of from seven to Is feet
on the surface. The men now
working the claims say they have
in sight 13 feet of $50 ore, which
they say they can ship at a good
profit. The veins are fault fis-
sures of large size with well-dc-
fined walls and good assays have
been obtained over a distance of
800 feet on the surface.
Good reports continued to come
from the district for several
months last year, but early in No.
vember the option on the propert..-
was relinquished. 1t is reported
that. the exacting terms of the op-
tion, with distance from rail trans
portation and uncertainty as to
methods required to treat the ore,
led to the enterprise being aban-
doned.
Many people were optimistic re-
garding the district when work
was stopped and Ludwig, Webster
and McCloskey are confident good
profits can be made.

GRANDMA STARTS
FIRST DRIFT TO
DEVELOP At
815FEET

The drift being driven southwest
from a short crosscut on the S15-
foot level of the Grandma has been
advanced SO feet and is being driv-
en- rapidly along the surface of
the shale. The starting of this
drift and the one that will be
driven in the opposite direction
have been awaited, as mining men
generally predict that important
developments will result from the
work.
The drift is being driven where
the shale reaches almost its great
est depth in the district and it is
the general opinion that an i'm
portant ore-bearing zone will be
opened in work along the shale
contact.

leading to the belief that the CROSS
cut is nearing the ore-channel
opened on upper levels. The drift
on the same level is It's feet from

PIONEER Mine PREPARING
To sink SHAFT TO Depth

The Reorganized Pioneer Mines
company is preparing to sink the
main shaft to a depth of from 500
to 1000 feet, or to water level.
The shaft will be timbered from
the 324-foot point to the bottom,
or a depth of AIS feet, in prepara-
ton for sinking.
A drift is also being run north
west along the contact to explore
the territory below the Rickard
winze, where Tex Rickard and as
sociates made a good production
some years ago. This drift is be-
ing extended along the contact that
marks the boundary line of the
once-famous Bonanza stope in
which 500 ore was broken over a
width of 20 feet. The drift is ex-
pected to cut good ore when 1t en-
ters the territory Immediately be-
low the Rickard winze.
Power drills are being used in
the work, air being obtained from
the Mayflower niue, whicn adjofns

REDUCES
COPPER OUTPUT

1t has been pointed out that the
worlds production of copper has
expanded 40 per cent in the last
five years. This has been done not
by an increased number or more
efficient set of men, but by the
use of men who have been engag-
ed in development and construc-
ton work. This fact of larger out
put will have an important influ-
ence in determining the fate of the
copper market when normal times
return. Whether government con-
troll will obtain after peace comes
is another factor. Some think that
when an open market again rules
prices will not go above 26 cents,
no matter what the demand may
be, citing the fact that before the
war the highest price had been IL
to Is cents per pound. Output OF
refined copper is tagging, due
largely to influenza. When OPP
Grating at capacity the refineries
can turn out 250,00O,0OO pounds
per month; lately their production
has been from 100000 to 2O0,-
100000 pounds per month.-Min-

CON. .COPPERM|NES
At ELY MAKES
BIG OUTPUT
IN SEPT.

According to statement issued
by Managing Director Robert Lin
ton, the Consolidated COppermines
company at Ely produced 1,196,SS4
pounds of copper in September.
The grade of ore milled at Kimber-
Iy showed a marked improvement
from the previous month.
1t is planned to unwater the
shaft to the 140G-foot level in the
near future and development work
vii! then be continued rapidly on
the 1300-foot level.
Frank H. Probert, dean Of the
school of mines of the university
of California, recently made re-
port on the property, particularly
the Alpha territory, and stated that
the results of development work
had been excellent. The heavy
ground in the mine has been held
and work on the thirteenth level
is well under way toward the ore
bearing zone. The present rate of
production is certain to continue
for many months.

Tonopah Miner: Because of the
prevalence of influenza during the
past few weeks in Tonopah, the To-
nopah Mining company, along with
the other operating mines in the
district, has been handicapped to
a greater extent, possibly, than was
caused by the governments call for
miners and laborers for shipyard
and other war work. In cOnse-
quence of this situation the COM
pany fell far short of it's average
in the matter of development work,
there having been only "a feet of
new ground broken in what are
known as the regular mining oper-
ations. The stopping work, how
ever, was continued at the usual
rate at each of the veins on the
different levels of the several sec
tions of the mine, and the output
from the underground workings
was about up to normal.
The dumps have been cleaned
up and there will be no reports in
the future concerning tonnages
from this source. In the mean
while, however, the mill manage
ment is engaged in series of ex-
periments to determine whether
the immense piles of sand which
remained from the previous opera
tions, before the company adopted
the all-sliming process at the mill,
are susceptible to economical hand
ling and treatment. These expert
ments will be continued for at
least a month and possibly longer,
and there is every reason to hope
that within that period the mill ex-
perts of the company will have
devised some practical method to
extract the remaining values from
the old sands and what remains
in the shines.
The footage record for the week
was "a feet, that amount of work
having been performed in extend

ager of both properties. Power
for all equipment, including the
lighting plant, is furnished by en-
gines burning low-grade oil, at low
cost.
The northwest drift is being run
into the X. K. claim, which has an
excellent surface showing. This
claim was acquired by the Pioneer
recently, and the opening of this
ground is the most important work
undertaken by the Pioneer in many
years.
Work in the Mayflower has re-
suited in large bodies of good
mill ore being exposed and re-
cent sampling has shown general
average of $12 per ton for the
large blocks, with the smaller ore
shoots showing shipping ore.
In the Starlight shaft body of
ore five feet wide and 60 feet long
has been opened, assaying $12 per
ton. Good bodies of ore also have
been uncovered at depths of 200,
800 and 400 feet in the main
workings of the Mayflower.
