CHICAGO. Aug. b.-Buying orders

the price OF corn, lifted the market to-

REPORT OF WORK IN
SILVER MINES Of
VIRGINIA CITY

A continuation of large ore ship
ments to the Mexican mill from the
Con. Virginia and Ophir mines, with
the average grade of ore showing
substantial increase in value over
last week, and with the mines dem
onstrating most favorable conditions
throughout features the official re-
ports today from the north end OF
the Comstock The Mexican mill
ran 81 per cent of the time and
crushed 492 tons of ore of gross
value of approximately $4,000. Con.
Virginia shipped 269 tons valued
at $29.44 per ton, and Ophir 223
tons of an average assay value of
$24.29 per ton. Seven bars of
bullion were shipped from the mill
to the San Francisco mint.
Con. Virginia made good progress
in development work and reopening
the bonanza section of the 1900,
1850 and 1750-foot levels, and in
other sections of the mine. The out
put of the mine showed excellent
conditions in the Slopes and raises,
and the output included: ~ tons
averaging $2O.23 per ton; 105 tons
averaging $26.69 per ton; So tons
averaging $37.05 per ton; 10 tons
averaging $42.63; 23 tons averaging
5 1894; 81 tons, $13.S2; % tons,
$21.27. Particularly encouraging
in the report is the improvement in
values shown in prospecting work
in the new vein in the southerly sec
ton of the mine on the 2150 level.
Ophir extracted a large tonnage
of good ore as follows: 124 tons
averaging $25.22 per ton; 33 tons
averaging 1912; 55 tons averaging
$17.S7.
Exploration work in the Mexican
Union Con. and Sierra Nevada show

SIMON
IS PROMISING
EXPECTED TO BE THE FIRST
SHIPPER FOR NEW SIMON
DISTRICT

T0NOPAH, New, July 1.-E. j.
Ramsey and NJ. E. Hill have severed
their connection with the Nevada
First National bank with the idea
of giving more active service to the
property in the Simon district re-
Gently acquired by the Pilot Simon
Silver Mining company. This will
be practically close corporation.
there being but 200 shares of
treasury stock available and this
block in its entirety has been taken
by Ohio parties, and being one of
the results of Mr.. Ramsey's recent
eastern trip.
The Pilot Simon property is To-
Gated % miles from Nina, about
seven miles south of the Simon Lead
property and is said to have Won
derful surface showing. From 10
holes on four foot vein along 400
feet exposed, the lowest hole being
but 15 feet in depth, average sam
Piles gave assays of $500. A sample
shipment has been made to the
smelter on which better than $50
net per ton was returned.
Active work has already been
started on the property. Housing
facilities for the crew and con-
centrating plant will soon be on the
ground, as the ore carries no zinc
Jr copper.
At the meeting of the stockhold-
ers held recently r. F. Wendover,
formerly with the Tonopah Mining
company. was elected president;
Herbert Hamlin, Jr., who has just
returned from the service and for
merly connected with important
mining interests. was elected vice
president; e. j. Ramsey was elected
secretary treasurer; the balance of
the board being M. e. Hill and ID. j..
Fitzgerald, speaker of the last Ne
vada general assembly.
Several carloads of ore will be
shipped to the smelter from this
property before the installation Of
tthe concentrating plant. 1t is ex-
pected that the Pilot Simon will not
only be the first shipper from the
new Simon district since the pres
ent activity there, but that 1t will
also prove to be the first dividend
payer. There will be no local offer

that depth and mean that further
sinking will, in the light of develop

continuing and is believed to be

PLACER MINING
STARTS IN TULE
GOLDFIELD-TUIE CANYON COM
PANY DRIVING CROSSCUT
ON BEDROCK

The Goldfield-Tule Canyon Placer
Mining company, following compile
tion of the surface plant and build
ings, has resumed driving of cross
cut to the center of the canyon and
following completion of this drift
ing on bedrock will be started and,
for the first time in the history of
the canyon, prospecting will be
started on what. Charles F. Spilman,
editor of the Nevada Mining Press,
once described as "a treasure second
to none in the world"
1t has long been predicted that
some day treasure that will startle
the world will be taken from the
remarkable but inaccessible canyon
and the surrounding territory, recog-
nized as one of the most highly min
eralized regions on the continent
Hundreds cf thousands of dollars in
placer gold have already been taken
from the canyon, but as in the Bank
of England the treasure is guarded
by flooding the vaults, no nature
has guarded the bedrock of Tule
with water, and the Goldfield-Tule
Canyon company will be the first to
place in the canyon equipment ample
to handle the flow.
While placer mining methods are
few, it appears that no two men can
agree as to how the Tule deposits
should be worked, but the only
methods open to company not
having at it's command fat treas
ury are the driving of drift or
tunnel. Frank Hanus, manager for
the company, has adopted the drift
method, recognized by Goldfield
mining engineers as the most eff
ficient, and if in driving the work
ing Hanus finds banked against one
of the 12 ridges that cross the
claims a rich deposit of the coarse
gold for which the canyon is noted
xhe will be able to mine by any
method he cares to adopt, as one
find of this kind would put at his
command a big treasury.

ALLIED DOWN 40 FEET

The shaft of the Allied Divide is
140 feet deep. The company plans

future and employ three shifts OF
miners in gaining depth as rapidly
as possible before crOsscut6ng to
the two strong veins that trend
through the claims, considered
among the most promising in the
district.

FIVE TRUCKS HAULING ORE TO
SIDING FROM SIEGEL

Five trucks are hauling ore to the
railroad from the Siegel mine, 20
miles from Ray, siding on the
Nevada Northern. 1t is reported
that more than 1000 tons of ore as
saying from 40 to 200 ounces in
silver has been shipped recently.

wide. The ore contains five per

NEW PLANT FOR
INGALLS, MINE
STAMPS TO REPLACE HUNTING.
TON MILL AND CYANIDE
PLANT is BUILT

A stamp mill to replace the Hunt
ington mill formerly used has been
put in place at the Ingalls, mine in
Tule canyon, being operated under
lease by Borcherding, Hill and Nc
Dermitt and cyanide plant has been
completed. These changes will in
crease the extraction from so to
from -S5 to 90 per cent, according to
the lessees, which will give a gross
monthly production of between $780,
600 and $4,000. This is expected
to result from the treatment Of not
less than 20 tons of $40 ore daily.
1t is believed the new plant will be
capable of treating closer to 25 tons
than 20.
The ingalls, mine recently was re-
ported to have been sold to Patsy
Clark, but it is the general opinion
that the deal will fail to be con-
cluded before the option expires.

old Time CAMP IS
AGAIN IN L|MELIGHT

Of many former camps were almost
forgotten. Cherry Creek was one of
the later discoveries OF White Pine
county, hence it's minerel wealth
was not as thoroughly demonstrated
as in some of the older camps,
which is fortunate at the present
time because it still has large
bodies of good ore in it's surface
workings which can now be taken
out at a handsome profit. 1t is
perhaps principally for this reason
that the mines of Cherry Creek
have been among the first to come
back in an important way, and ac-
counts for the revival of the mining
interest in that section which now
gives promise of soon even surpass-
ing the days when silver was quoted
at 1929. In those days Cherry
Creek was 100 miles from the near
est railroad, while at the present
time 1t has railroad transportation
by which it's ores can reach smell
ters at a much less haulage than in
older days. The outlook for Cherry
Creek therefore at the present time
is even brighter than at any time
in its past history, when it was one
of the most important camps in
eastern Nevada. There are now a
considerable number of new COM
panies operating the old mines OF
Cherry Creek, from general report
each and every one OF them is TAX

SIMON DRIFTING
On 400 LEVEL

The crosscut on the 400-fOOt or
bottom, level of the Simon silver
lead mine has been discontinued
after being driven 219 feet. The
width of the orebody is 142 feet.
Twenty feet day is being made
in drifts being driven both ways in
the vein and these will be continued
until the length of the orebody has
been determined. Other crosscuts
will then be driven.
Sinking of the shaft an addi-
tional 200 feet, making a total OF
600. will be started soon.
A large force of men is employed
in erecting surface buildings and
the number of miners will be in
creased as soon as a larger COM
pressor and more powerful hosting
machinery have been erected.
The mine is now estimated to con-
tain ore of gross value OF
1000
