GRAN D MA TO START
DRIFTING SOON
AT 815 FEET

The crosscut being extended
from the Grandma shaft at a depth
of SIS feet is nearing the shale,
along which drifts will be driven
northeast and southwest to explore
the contact zone. 1t is expected
to find the 'shale within 20 feet
of the station.
The S30-foot shaft was sunk
into the shale at a point in line
with the dip and trend of what is
regarded as being one of the most
highly mineralized zones of the dis
trict and entered the shale near
it's lowest point in the great de-
preston, extending in a southerly
direction. Many months ago, after
prospecting veins on the surface,
the Grandma company bought the
Sunrise group of claims, adjoining
on the east. This was done after
it had been found that these veins
extended into the Sunrise group,
making the porspects good for
finding valuable orebodies along
the surface of the shale to the
east.
With one of the best electrically
driven equipments in the district
with which to do the work, the
company will, through drifts along
the shade and workings ffbm
them, explore the entire territory,
and mining men familiar with this
part of the district are confident
that valuable orebodies will be
opened.
A 10O-foot crosscut has been
driven from the bottom of the
shaft, primarily to provide water
storage space in the event of in
terruption in the power service,
but the crosscut entered the con-
tact zone, dipping to the west, and
low assays in gold, silver and cop
per were obtained at this point.

RED HILL IS DEVELOPING
TERRITORY AT 600 FEET

The Red Hill Florence company
has shipped one carload of ore
this month and ore for another
shipment is in the bins.
Work is under way on the 600
foot level, where drifts are being
enlarged and retimbered a short
time ago. The drift being driven
northwest from the shaft is in
low-grade ore and is being contin-
ued to open at this depth some of
the richest ore found on the 500
foot level. Particular interest is
being taken in the progress of this
work, as it is practically the first
lateral development to be under
taken in the mine below the 500
foot level Under a former man

ing was done.
This territory is close to ground
from which some of the richest ore
was extracted by the Florence
Goldfield company in the early
days, but the Florence company or
lessees never worked to any extent
below 600 feet, and it is the in
tention of Manager j. B. Kendall
of the Red Hill Florence to ex-
plore this promising territory
thoroughly. From within short
distance of the east side line of
the Red Hill millions of dollars
worth of high-grade ore was taken
by lessees. Both the Riley and
Rogers Syndicate leases made their
production from this part of the
Florence ground. or Red King

TREASURE STATE COMBINE
To BE WORKED BY LESSEE

In the three months before work
was stopped, the Treasure State
produced four carloads of ore as
saying $50 in silver and 55 per
cent lead. Over a long period the
big Duplex automobile truck used
in hauling was a familiar sight in
Goldfield as 1t arrived and left on
the 41-mile trips. When the
lease was signed ore. for a car
load shipment was broken.
Considerably over 1000 feet of
development work has been done
and the property is well equipped.
1t is situated 5000 feet above sea
level and in region where there
is ample timber and water for all
purposes.

GOOD ORE IS BEING
UNCOVERED At
COPPER MT.

DEVELOPMENT work in the Jum-
bo Copper Mountain property at
Copper Mountain, in Mineral coun-
ty, continues to expose large bod
les of copper ore, putting the mine
in excellent condition.
A drift being extended east on
the 275-foot level of the main shaft
is out over 200 feet and within a
short distance raise will be start
ed to connect with a winze from
the old Fox lease tunnel. Sui
phide ore of good grade is exposed
in this drift in a well-defined vein.
The air is becoming bad in the
drift, although air pipe has been
extended to the face from the
shaft and connection with the
winze will remedy this.
Within short distance the
drift is expected to enter an ore
body found near the surface in the
Fox lease and within 200 feet will
enter the Miller lease ground.
Large deposits of good ore were
opened by lessees in both these
blocks and the Miller lease made
a gross production of over $4,000
before being taken over by the
parent company. Nothing but the
highest grade ore could be shipped
at a profit and the company has
confined the work to blocking out
ore for treatment in plant which
it is proposed to erect on the
ground.
Bodies of ore from three to -
feet wide and assaying from three
to eight per cert copper have been
opened on the various levels and
some ore shipped assayed as high
as ~ per CAT copper. Most of
the development work done has
been paid for with money obtain
ed from ore shipped to smelters.
After normal conditions return
to the mining industry it is
planned to erect reduction plant
and with this in view exhaustive
tests have been made at Holly
wood, Cal, under the personal su-
pervision of J. X. Turner, consult
ing engineer for the company.
These tests have been satisfac-
tory and ore blocked out now war
rants the erection of a plant of so
tons daily capacity, with provision
for the addition of other 50-ton
units.
The work being done at present
is entirely to develop ore for
treatment on the ground and not
with a view to making an immedi-
ate production.

The Treasure state Combine
group at Indian Garden, 16 miles
south of Silver Peak, has been
leased by AL Heinecke and Dave
Trepp to Martin Chiatovich of
Fish Lake valley, a mining man
and rancher The lease extends
for a period of 20 months.
1t is reported that Chiatovich
has interested number of we'll
known mining men with him and
that under his personal direction
the Treasure State will be operat-
ed on a broad scale. The lessee
will move, with his family, to the
mine and plans to remain there
until the lease expires. He will
use a 2O-horse team to haul ore
for shipment through Blair juno
tion.
The owners of the mine are
both Montana newspaper men and,
while shipments of good ore had
been made by them over a long
period and their prospects for put
ting the property on a substantial
paying basis were considered excel
lent when they granted the lease,
this was done primarily because of
difficulty in securing workmen. In
addition to this both were tired of
the life of a miner and anxious to
re-engage in the profession in
which they had been successful.
They are interested in a newspaper
in Lewiston. Trepp is now in
Butte and Heinecka left by auto
during the week for Lewiston.

DUTCH VIEW OF
GERMAN POTASH

1t is pointed out in Dutch jour-
mails, says Commerce Reports, that
the German potash industry, here
tofore almost monopoly, may
have to face severe competition
after the war. Potash deposits
have been discovered in Catalonia;
potash will probably be mined in
the Netherlands Tin the concession
field of Winterswijik) and the
United States may develop a pot
ash industry. Under the stress of
competition the German mines
would doubtless combine. so that
only one out of four or five mines
would remain in operation.

SHAFT IS BEING SUNK
TO DEPTH AT
EAST DIVIDE

The shaft of the East Divide, in
the Divide district. is gaining
depth rapidly and is now well past
the 100-foot point The newly in
stalled electrically driven surface
plant is giving complete satisfac-
tion. Unusually good progress is
being made by Joe Mayer, gen.
eral manager, and the shaft has
been timbered for it's entire depth.
The bunk house for the miners is
practically complete.
Sinking of the shaft was started
in September and a complete plant
of hosting and other machinery
was installed before Nov. 1 and
machine drills were being used be-
. fore that date.
The shaft is being sunk at the
north end of the Merced claims
and on the hanging wall of the
big vein that continues into these
claims from the Tonopah Divide
mine, the shaft of which is 800
feet from that of the East Divide.
The company has ample finances
to thoroughly explore the claims
and, unless good indications of
ore are found, it is the plan of the
management to sink to at least
800 feet before starting lateral
work.
The East Divide was incorpor-
ated last March and since then re-
markable progress has been made
in getting under way mining oper-
ations. The officers are Joseph
Mayer, president; ]. X. Turner,
vice president; Ben Gill, SECRETARY
and treasurer. These officers,
with Charles Sprague and C. A.
Leager, constitute the board of
directors. j. X. Turner is con-
sulting engineer.

gold, valued at $83,750.700, was
produced in the United States and
territories and 71,740,362 ounces of
silver was produced. valued at $59.-
O78,1OO. Compared with the 1916
figures, this production indicates a
reduction in the output of gold of
$3.50, 900 and in the output of sill
yer of 2,674,44O fine ounces.
The report gives the Nevada gold
output as 335,361 ounces, valued
at $6,932,5OO. According to the
report, the silver output Of the
state was 11,217,654 ounces, val
ued at $9,237,700.

Salt Lake Tribune: At the
property of the Unionville Mining
company, which has large holdings
in the once-famous camp of Union
vile, New, President j. A. Spiker
reports some sensational and high
ly encouraging developments in the
opening up of a rich streak of
high-grade gold ore, with some sill
yer, on the hanging wall and be-
tween the upper and lower levels
of the property.

Tonopah Miner: Aside from
the main development workings on
the big Divide ledge, situated on
the second and third levels, in
which the ore body has been cross
cut for widths showing the vein to
be 26 feet between walls in plac-
es, the prospecting work, which
has been under way since the COM
pany replaced the old equipment
with modern electrical machinery,
has recently given the manage
ment of the Tonopah Divide Min
ing company great encouragement.
The main crosscut on the 26O-foot
level, which has reached a point
57S feet from the shaft, has late
ly encountered some values. Though
small, they lend encouragement to
the belief that the crosscut is near
ing the zone in which the gold
bearing ledges were worked at
higher levels. The formation be-
ing traversed by the crosscut is
rhyolite.
Many more headings are now
being put out on and through the
ore body and all are proving the
vein to maintain it's strength in
size and values at the respective
intervals where such work is be-
ing forwarded.

LIKEWISE SILVER

Record: Our government needs
gold All governments need gold.
Not only do they need gold, but
silver and all other metals. This
need is growing manifest and will
soon be felt in every mining camp.
The law of supply and demand will
compel the mining of these metals.
We must be ready when the gong
strikes If private capital cannot
mine to advantage, the govern
ment must pay what is necessary
to get the product, and will do SO.

that which affects every mine in
TOnopah and other Nevada camps,
namely, a shortage of labor, caused
ly the call for shipyard workers.
There is every reason to believe,
how ever, that this condition will
be remedied within the near flu
ture. as it is understood that some
of the government contracts at the
shipyards on the Pacific coast have
been cancelled and many men have
heen relieved from that industry.
With the living conditions in Tono-
pah better and the wage scale con-
sidtrably higher than in any other
iaining center in the west, the mine
managers here are confident that
in q short time many of the min
ers who left Tonopah to engage in
war work will return.
Belmont
The big mill of the Tonopah
Belmont company here, upon COM
pleting it's final cleanup for Octo-
hei, shipped to the smelters 81
Dars of gold-silver bullion. The
weight of the consignment was
95.304 ounces, and it is estimated
the valuation of the shipment is
approximately $112,6S4.8O.
The steady manner in which the
Belmont plant has been producing
bullion from its own ores augurs
great prosperity for the company
for some time to come, in view of
the fact that 1t is expected that
working conditions will be more
tolerable since the war has come
to an end. Besides releasing min
ers who in large numbers engaged
in war work and consequently, cre-
ated a dearth of capable mine
workers in the mining districts of
the west, it is believed that the
cessation of hostilities will mark
the apex on the cost situation and
materials and supplies for mining
and milling will come down rap
idly.

You can hardly help knowing some

While we do not want, and do not
expect, our educators to be politicians.
yet it Is natural that we should desire
to know something Of their attitude
toward reforms such as I have mem
toned because we must look to our
schools for aid and honest leadership
in this direction. In other words, as
a state which has set the pace in the
direction of economic progress, we
want men to head u institutions
who will not exert their influence in
an opposite direction.
Education should spell progress,
