TANAWAH MINE
AGAIN WORKING
FORMER BIG PRODUCER is PUR-
CHASED BY NINE
OPERATORS

One of the large mining deals of
recent years was closed in ! emo Fri
lay when M. A. McClair of Masonic
sold to Charles H. Ernst ~ Pacific
Grove, Cal, and E. Chaplin Gard OF
San Francisco the rich Tanawah
property in the Sweetwater range in
Mono county, California.
The holdings comprise 81 claims,
a 10-stamp mill and a cyanide plant,
besides mine machinery, a saw mill,
bunk and boarding houses and wa
ter rights.
This property has produced about
100000 from surface workings
alone. A tunnel has been driven in
over 1000 feet, cutting several rich
lodges, and other valuable deposits
have been opened on the surface.
The mine has been closed down on
account of litigation extending over
a number of years. This litigation
is believed to be terminated by Nc
Claims purchase of the property IN
der sheriff's sale.
Ernst is the moving spirit of the
Mt. Patterson United group adjoin-
ing the Tanawah. Gard is a Colo
RADIO man and recently, in conjunc-
ton with George w. Elder of San
Francisco, secured a lease and OPP
ton on the Great Western and Star
patented mines on Mt. Patterson
from Martin Jones, who made both
claims famous back in the SOS.
The purchasers of the Tanawah
property are forming a syndicate OF
Colorado and Illinois people to
merge the Tanawah and United
groups, which will be operated on an
extensive scale.
The Silverado continues shipments
of high grade ore under the man
agement of Superintendent Parr.
President Dawson also is planning
a campaign of activity in this mine
and in the Old Kentucky. Both
show lodges of ore averaging better
than $3.50 a ton. The character OF
the ore changes from silver to gold
at water level.
Ernst and Gard state that the

MILL AT NEWPASS
IS TREATING ORE
ORE OF GOOD GRADE OPENED
AT DEPTH IN
NINE

Comparison of head and tail as
says at the new mill of the Nevada
Austin Mines company, which start
ed operations on February /, shows
an extraction of ninety-seven per
cent, according to Frank M%argrave,
president of the company, who re-
turned Monday from a trip to the
mine and mill.
The property in situated "a miles
from Austin in Lander county at
Newpass. 1t is 20 miles from the
nearest railroad point on the Ne
vada Central railroad.
Construction work on the 75-ton
mill began several months G and
it was completed and ready for
operation during the latter part of
January. The mill is equipped with
a Blake crusher, Hardinge ball
mills, Dorr agitators and thicken-
srs, Oliver filter and is run by a
100-horsepower semi-Diesel engine.
The mill is an all cyanide plant at
present but provision has been
made to add teaching tanks during
the coming summer and the ton
mage will then be brought up to
100 tons daily.
The high extraction, according
to Mr.. Margrave, was a surprise 10
him as well as to the mill men but
several assays showed that it held
up and the tailings never ran more
than seventy cents. At present the
ore being put through the plant
averages about SIS a ton. 1t is
being taken from one vein in the
lowest of four tunnels On The prop
erty which consists of fourteen
claims.
The property was taken W by
Mr.. Margrave and associates about
Is months ago. 1t had been par
TALLY developed and two veins open
ed up but in an effort to tap one
of the veins at a lower depth the
former owners missed the ore by a
few feet and finally gave up, think
ing that the ore did not go down.
When Mr.. Margrave took it owe
he run a cross-cut IL feet off the
lower tunnel and caught the ore
and 1t is from this vein that the
ore for the mill is now being taken.
The ore is trammed with mules
for 1000 feet through the working
tunnel to the mill. Seventeen men
are now employed in the mine and
seven in the mill.-GaZette.

FASTENERS TO
WORK PROPERTY
VALUABLE CLAIMS IN HUM.
BOLDT COUNTY BASIS
OF DEAL

An important mining deal trans
ferring a number of mining claims
located in the Santa Rosa range of
mountains was closed here yester-
day between F. R. O'Leary, WE'LL
known National mining engineer,
and J.. P. Clough of Duluth, MINI.
The property involved in the deal
consists of seven claims, four of
which were owned by George H.
Pearce of Stockton, Cal, and three
owned by Mr.. O'Leary. These hold
ings are situated about four miles
north from Paradise Hill and are
in the same range of mountains as
the camp of National.
Considerable development work
has been accomplished on the differ
ernt claims and especially on part
of the estate where a long tunnel
was sent in on one of the lodges
that outcrop on the property. In
a number of places there are good
showings of ore in a large vein that
traverses the estate.
The ore values are in gold and
silver, with the latter metal pre-
dominating. Ore of exceptionally
rich silver values has been opened
on one of the claims and float that

At a point where there is a big
showing of high-grade ore a LONG
tunnel is to be started as part Of

by Mr.. Clough, the purchaser. This
bore is to be started just as soor
as arrangements can be made fol

FIND IS RICH
IN CINNABAR

The reported finding of a large
body of cinnabar ore, which was
made several weeks ago about six
miles west of Logandale, at the
head of the Overton wash, was con-
firmed this week when reports from
the assays SEN east brought re-
turns of 10 per cen mercury. These
returns were later verified by local

new find are d. A. Potter, Henry
Rice, Jr., Matt Rees, AL. Larsen,
Prof. r. w. James, c. M. Sain,
Eugene Parker, w. II. Dotson, G.

The reported finding of gold ore
running better than 1852 per ton
some time ago on the Virgin river,
which was later proved to be the
work of a claim salter after owe
so claims had been located, caused
many to be skeptical when the new
cinnabar find was reported. When
the ver~ification of the assays sent
to H. E. Burton of Leadville, show
ing 10 per cent mercury, was re-
ceived a rush was made for the
scene of the new find.-Clark Coun-

JACK DAVIS IS
SHAlE BOOSTER
RENOWNED GOLDFTELD PIO-
NEER EXPECTS TO BECOME
OIL BARON

'Diamondfield Jack" Davis, pros
pector, promoter and soldier of for
tune, who has helped beat the trails
into many new mining camps and
after whom the camp of Diamond
field in the Goldfield district was
named, is spending a few days in
Reno on business connected with
his latest ventures, an oil shale de-
post near Eastgate, Churchill u
ty. Nevada, and a silver-gold mine
2S miles south of Fallon.
From the assays which he had
run in this city, it is evident hat
the latter is a prospect of unusual
promise but it is the oil shale de-
post that has aroused his greatest
enthusiasm and he expresses the be-
lief that not only will the shale de-
posits be treated at a good profit,
but hat liquid oil will be found in
paying quantities when wells are
drilled on the anticlines.
AS bearing upon the fact that he
is no novice in the oil game, Jack
calls attention to his experience in
the oil fields of Texas, Louisiana,
Oklahoma, California, Mexico and
Venezuela, and to his studies of
the results secured in mining and
treating the oil shale deposits of
Scotland, which have been worked
at a profit for many years.
A comparison of the shale de-
posts of Scotland and those near
Fastgate would seem to indicate
that if the former can be mined
and treated for a fair margin above
the cost, there should be big profits
in the latter, ever If no more effec-
tive and up-to-date methods of
treatment were found. According
10 reports the deposits of Scotland
are OF comparatively narrow width
and have to be mined at consider
able depth from the surface.
On the other hand, Mr.. Davis be-
lieves that the Eastgate deposits
will average 125 feet in thickness
and crop to the surface, dipping at
an angle of Is degrees. Instead
of the expensive mining methods
necessary in Scotland, the East
gate shales can be mined with steam
shovels at a cost of 20 cents per
ton.
The oil content of the Scottish
shales is also said to be much less
than that of the Eastgate deposits
which it Is believed will average be-
tween rs and So gallons of paraf-
fine base oil to the tor of shale,
besides having a number of valu-
able by-products. 1t is further be-
lieved by Mr.. Davis and others in
terested that some Of the oil con-
tent of the shale close to the sur
face has been e%vaporated and that
with greater depth the shales will
yield 100 gallons to the ton.
There are literally millions OF
tons of shale in the Eastgate de-
post and there is an electric power
line within IL miles which will
materially help to keep down the
cost OF operating.
Among others who have holdings
in the Eastgate fields are: G. G,
Schweis, a graduate of the Univer-
sity of Nevada who made tests
showing the oil to have a paraffine
base; F. M. Duncan, of Reno, and
George Baker and E. Kavanaugh,
of FallOn.

DIVIDEND BY
YELLOW PINE

The directors of the Yellow Pine
Mining company held a meeting in
Goodsprings Thursday afternoon,
at which it was decided to declare
q dividend of six per cent on the
capital stock. This will be payable
on March 2, to stockholders of rec
ord on Feb. 20.
The payment of this dividend of
100000 to the stockholders of the
Yellow Pine indicates that the com.
pany is on the same highway of
prosperity which brought to it the
splendid record of $360,00O paid
to stockholders in 1917.
Those who were present at the
meeting were j. F. Kent, C. W.
Kent, R. B. Chapman, S. E. Yount
and Fred A. Hale, Jr. They took
the opportunity to visit the mine
and inspect the progress being made
there and came away highly pleased
with the work done under the di-
rection of General Manager Hale.
Notwithstanding the continued
low prices of lead and zinc the
company is making a good profit
IN it's ore under the new contract,

SYMMES EXPLAINS
SILVER SITUATION
MAY RETURN TO WASHINGTON
TO SECURE DOLLAR
SILVER

Whitman Symmes, mine operator
ON the Comstock and w~ell-known
silver expert, gives to the Virginia
City Budget the following account
Of the silver situation as he and
Governor Boyle found it on the
occasion of their recent trip to
Washington:
ION Nov. 90, 1917, it was stated
by an under secretary in the house
of commons that Great Britain was
negotiating with the United States
for our entire output of silver.
I'm Washington Governor Boyle
and l were told that M such negO-
tiations were known of there. The
representatives of the treasury de-
partment agreed with us that 81
per ounce was a fair price for sill
yer, and it was agreed hat a bill
would be introduced in congress
by Senator Pitman under which the
United States would take all the
silver offered at 81 per ounce. The
demand for silver is admittedly far
in excess of any possible produc-
ticn. Since our return here there
seems to be some hitch in the pro-
ceedings.
The American silver producers
are at present in a very remarkable
situation. Silver is not allowed to
pass freely as a money metal, al
though it is a money metal for a
large part of the population of the
globe. 1t is claimed that it is a
mere commodity, and should be
treated as such, but it is nOt al
lowed to be freely traded in as a
commodity.
Practically all the silver of the
world is produced by Americans,
since the principal mines of Can
ada and Mexico are owned in the
United States. The British empire
is the principal consumer of silver,
using it either for export to India
or in settling trade balances
through the British banks in the
Orient. 1t is to the interest of
Britain to, purchase silver at as low
a price as possible-and she does
it. The price is fixed in London
by four brokers operating under
ancient crown patents. No n else
there IAN deal in silver. These
brokers agree upon a price for the
day and at which all transactions
for that day are made.
1T is quite possible hal Cover
nor Boyle and l will return to
Washington. In my opinion the
American silver producers will
never get a fair price until the Uni
ted States frees itself from London
and establishes an American policy
in regard to silver. When we left
Washington we thought that this
had been accomplished. but appar-
emily it will. be wise for us to re-
turn there and do some more mis-
sionary work"

TONOPAH DIVIDE
CUTS BIG VEIN
LARGE OREBODY HAS BEEN
OPENED ON DEEPER
LEVEL

For some weeks, in fact, since
the station at the second level OIL
the Tonopah Divide Mining COM
pany, at Gold Mountain, was COM
pleted, the mining public has oeen
keenly interested in the progress
Of the cross-cut which was started
towards the big vein that was dis
covered on the 160-foot level late
in November of last year.
The cross-cut, according to state
ments Of officials of the company
encountered the ledge at a dis
lance of 1872 feet from the shaft,
and since then has entered it, at
right angles to its strike and course
for 20 feet. At that distance, the
farther wall had not been %encount-
cred, and no signs are apparent
that it is within striking distance
in the next. round of shots.
The orebody bears all the char
acteristics that made it prominent
when encountered on the 16O-foot
level. The values occur in gold,
silver and molybdenum. although
with regard to the latter 1t has
heen stated by persons who have
recently examined the new discov-
cry on the lower level thai the
character of the molybdenum at
depth Is different from that on the
upper level; that is, it is more In
the nature of a molybdate, a chang
from the oxidized molybdenum dis
closed above.
Numerous assays have been tax
en-, which demonstrate that h vein
is fully as rich at 270 feet on Its
dip at it was ITO feet above, on
the first level in the mine. The
assays made for silver and gold In
the ore, without taking into con-
sideration the molybdenum con-
tents, ran from low mill grade ore
to as high as $50 per ton.
1t has also been reported that
picked samples of the molybdenum
or molybdate, whichever form the
metal may have, ran very high, the
tests showing that the percentage
OF the metal found causes the ore to
have a value considerably higher
per ton than when only the gold
and silver content are considered
as was the case before it a dis
covered that the molybdenum ore
Carried high values.
From the fact that the cross-cut
has penetrated the vein for a dis
lance of 20 feet and has not yet
encountered the other wall of the
vein, it is evident that the ledge
will be even wider at this depth
than on the level above, where it
was reported to have been "a feet
from wall to wall. superintendent
Waters has been using three shifts
of men in driving the cross-cut, and
the work has been speeded up rs
much as possible.
On account of the vigorous pro-
secution of the work, there has been
little opportunity to make thorough
investigation of the orebody. but
this will be permissible when the
other wall is reached; and because
of this fact the officials of the COM
pany have been loath to make any
\ xy41
ues, tonnages, etc., but content
themselves with saying hat the
whole mass will break a fair grade
milling ore.-Tonopah Miner.
