Marks to Make

in readiness for the trip and the truck

are reached he will visit relatives in
Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota. Mrs
Marks is now in Chicago and will re-

Mr.. Marks isS the owner of some
promising mining ground in the Pi-
oche district. He owns the silver lead
prospects above the Florence mine, in
Stampede Gap. the claim adjoining the
Pay Day patented claim of the Black
Metal Mines and other prospects in the
district. In Stampede Gap he has
found good ore. While the property
needs development before it can be
called a mine, yet the surface indica- l.

near Blind mountain, at which some
large exposures of copper ore have
long ago been known.
On his return Mr.. Marks is in hopes
of doing some of the needed develop

fort to make another producing mine
in this district. His many friends wish
him a pleasant trip and a safe return

RAYMOND AND ELY WEST
TO BE OPENED AT DEPTH

The Raymond and Ely West. a min
ing property adjoining the Greenwood
mine of the Amalgamated Phoebe
Mines and Smelters Corporation and a
property owned principally by the
Bamberger interests of Salt Lake, has
been secured by 5. I. Godbe under
favorable contract and Mr.. Godbe is
already at work in the effort to open
the mine at depth.
A mutually advantageous contract
has been worked out with the Com
blned Metals Company permitting
work TO be done through the No.
shaft and two men have started on the
65O-foot level to drive through the
Combined Metals territory and into
work should be finished in about sixty
days, when the Raymond and Ely
West Will be prospected at the depth
OF $50 feet from the surface. 1t is the
first work to be done on the property
in years and now. thanks To the initia
tive of Mr. Godbe, IL seems reasona b lie
10 look forward to the development of
a large body OF ore within a compa ra-
lively short time and at depth that
means much more than any shallow
development.
The great beds of ore in the Com
bined Metals mine have been devel-
oped to within a short distance of the
boundary line between the two prop
level they dip below the 400-foot work
ings and instead of following this ore
with an impractical incline Mr. Godbe
will extend the 650-foot drift to a
point under the ores and will raise to
the beds. With this preliminary work
finished and the ore opened 1t will be
an easy mining problem to stope the
ore, drop 1t to the 650-foot level and
raise it through the main working
shaft, the No. l, directly TO the ore-
bins on the railroad.
In driving through the ground OF
the Combined Metals an interestin z
territory will be developedoa territory
which has yielded some high-grade
silver-lead ore and territory in which
there is good reason to hope for the
development of rich slopes of size
The leasing of this territory, which
has been dormant for so many years
and the starting of active work on a
level which will develop the property
almost at once, is the most interesting
piece of mining news of the district
this week. 1t is to be regretted that
the Record is unable to quote Mr.
Godbe or the officials of the Combined
Metals in regard to their plans. In
answer to an inquiry they said tha,
there was nothing to give out for pub
lication, although they hoped to have
good news to release some time in the
near future.

Little Man, Big Man and BurrS

young man was watching young
burro. 1t was very young man and
a very young burro. The man was
about years old and the little burro
about 3 months. But to the young
man the burro seemed a great, charg-
ing warhorse and he wished to con-
quer it and ride 1t bravely to and fro
so that mother could see that he was
not really little boy, but a big man.
And about that time the expressman
came along with his book of bills
under his arm And because he is,
away down underneath, but little
boy he saw what he saw and he caught
the little burro and he placed the
young man upon it and the young man
cried exultantly, Look at me,

the camera was part of the larger

Express Delay
Ties Up Truck

Coming from the Minerva Tungsten
mine last week the big White motor
truck. driven by Tom Gillispie, was
damaged by a connecting rod coming
loose and breaking through the crank
case. Gillispie got the machine to Pi-
oche and wired for new parts Sunday
The effort to get these new parts
serves as a good illustration of the in
jury which the change in the express
schedule works at times on the min
ing industry. The truck is needed at
the mine to haul ore to supply the mill,
and on this trip it was to take explos-
ives to the property, without which
the mine could not be operated. Thus
any great delay would operate to close
both the mine and mill---the mine
through the lack of explosives and the
mill through the lack of ore.
The new parts ordered by telegraph
Sunday from Los Angeles did not ar
rive until Thursday morning and at
least one. day of the delay is Charge
able to the hardness in receiving ex-
press shipments.
The repair of the truck was handled
| by the City garage, with Victor Huson
and Tom Gillispie working twenty-four
| hour shifts. When the new parts did
| arrive the repair was quickly finished
and. the truck departed for the mine
Saturday. The patch on the crank
| case is neat piece of work and a
credit to the workmen.

Minerva Tungsten
Has Many Veins

o. A. Knox, superintendent of the
Minerva Tungsten mine, north of Pi-

ness, and during a lull in a busy hour
he said TO the Record reporter that
conditions sat at the mine line were % @ much the

The Minerva Tungsten is one of the
important mines of the district and 1t
is hoped that it will become one of the
big producers of tungsten ores in the
United States. There are three dis

nine feet in width, a working tunnel

ing tunnel, slopes have been started

about twelve feet in width. The larg-
est body of ore is found in the third
vein. which is from fifteen to fifty feet
in width and on which there is sixty
foot prospect shaft and 20O-foot tun-
neil Work on this asset will be start
ed in about thirty days, when equip
ment will be placed on the claim,
which is distant about a mile from the
present workings.
On the property is complete l5O-
ton mill. A pipeline three and a half
miles in length supplies the necessary
water. The mine camp has accommo-
dations for about fifty men. The work
of equipping the mine was undertaken
about year ago and rushed along
only to be finished about the time the
armistice was signed-and tungsten
manganese and chrome producers
thrown out of a balloon without par
achute and without time to choose q
landing spot.
At this time, however, the market
for tungsten is stiffening and offers
hope to the producer. In June $3.50 g
unit was the basis for some business
while now the same business is sought
on the basis of $12, with some pro
ducers hoping for SIS.
The continued operation of this prop
erty means much to Pioche Ship
ments will be made from this poin
and supplies naturally will be pur
chased here. Two big trucks LOADING
on the streets Of Phoebe present
pleasing sight. Men in increasn,
numbers are finding occupation at tn
mine. Altogether the Minerva Tung
stem has been an important factor II
contributing to the welfare and pros
perity of the county.
