Mexican bandits have encountered on
the Texas border. He Is feared more
than the Texas rangers, who for years

AGER ACCOMPANIES NOTICE
OF ASSESSMENT

Accompanying assessment No. {
of the Reorganized Kewanas Min
ing company, at the rate of one cent
per share, A. /. Darcy, general
manager for the company, has is
sued the following statement:
"Since the last report, dated June
IS, 1918, the operations on the
property of the Reorganized Ke-
wanas Mining company have been
confined to the S40-foot level and
also to the winze which started
from this level in the southern por-
ton of your property by the Jumbo
Junior Mining company.
This winze was extended to a
depth of 65 feet and drifts were run
both north and south.
"Some ore of good quality was
found but the streak was too mar
row to permit of profitable mining
and this work has now been discon-
tinued.
"In the northern end IF your
property on the S40-foot level a
cross-cut was run to the western
boundary but nothing of Importance
was opened up in this work. Raises
were also driven from the north
drift on stringers of good ore that
had been encountered but they did
not prove of value.
"It is now proposed to drift
southwark on large quartz vein
exposed by cross-cut on the 700
foot level. This vein shows small
values in gold
"There is large block of unex-
plored territory in this section and
it is confidently expected that a
shoot of commercial ore will be
opened up in this work"

TO BE ERECTED BY COPPfRM|NfS

In his report to stockholders is
sued last week Joseph B. Cotton,
president of the, Coppermines COM
pany, makes the following announce
ment in regard to the erection of a
concentrating and smelling plant for
the company:
''In view of Mr.. LASTS opinion
that copper can be made as cheaply
from low grade porphyry ore alone,
if mined on a sufficiently large
scale, as from combined treatment
of all ores, your directors feel that
it is unnecessary to wait until
larger ore reserves are developed in
the alpha mine before building the
smelter. There is enough high grade
ore already developed to supply
the .smelter, on the basis of proper
tions recommended by Mr.. Laist, for
two years. There is substantial en-
couragement to believe that before
the end Of two years, or indeed be-
fore a smelter could be built and
blown in, the developed tonnage will
be much larger, and since the
smelter could be operated to full
capacity on porphyry ores alone by
simply increasing the capacity of
the concentrator, the returns of the
investment in the reduction works
with a satisfactory profit is as
sured."
In regard to mine development
and ore reserves. the following eX-
cerpts are taken from the report OF
HI. s. Munroe, general manager.

been cut about 800 feet west of any
other known ore on this level. Work

RICH MINERAL COUNTY
MINE CHANGES HANDS
NOTED FOR ITS RICH
ORE

The Gold Pen mine, in the Rand
district in Mineral county, has been
sold to William M. Wantland, Los
Angeles mining promoter, and J. C.
Bray of Reno. The mine was
bought from Ferretto brothers and
Peter Saturno.
According to smelter returns,
164.i tons of gold-silyer ore of a
gross value of $59.991 has been
shipped recently, netting the former
owners over $4,000. The ore
came from a stope 80 feet long by
90 feet righ. 1t is reported that
since the discovery in 1907 the
mine has produced between $780,
900 and 100000 worth of ore,
taken from high-grade shoots in
vein from 10 to so feet wide, in
the center of which is from 20 to
-? feet of quartz averaging over
SlO tor.
The Gold Pen is situated IL miles
from Nolan siding on the east side
CT Walker lake and is 20 miles
southwest of Rawhide and five miles
northwest of Simon lead silver mine.

responds to the west ore first de-
veloped on the 1900 level.
con the 100 level larger bodies
were opened than were eXistant
above the 1000, and new discoveries
are being made from time to time.
1t is believed that ore of more i'm
portance than that already mined on
this level will be opened up to the
west.
THE most important discoveries
of ore so far made in the alpha
mine have been on the 1900 level;
continuous ore, varying in width
from few feet to so, has been fol-
lowed to a length of more than 400
feet. The grade for this whole
cent, with an average of better than
8 per cent. About so feet north of,
and parallel to this body, another
body was silled out over 100 feet
lcng, and developed another 100
feet by cross-cutting, varying in
width from a few feet to 80. This
ore was consistently high grade,
having averaged about IL per cent
"On the 1900 level the altered
zone has been partially developed.
Ore corresponding to that developed
in corresponding territory on the
1900 has been cut. On account of
the weight of the ground, no at
tempt has been made to sill out ore
completely on this level.
Work on the 1000, 100 and
1900 levels has been prosecuted to
determine the vertical extension of
the western ore discovered on the
1900. While this work has not
been concluded, sufficient has been
done to draw the conclusion that it
is continuous from the 1900 to the
1O0O.. though on no level has suf-

ficient lork been done to demon
strate the ultimate extent of ore in
this portion of the zone.
1T is believed that Oh no level
have the ore possibilities been eX-
hausted A great deal of explora-
tory work is indicated, and great
confidence is felt that the develop
ment planned will be even more pro-
ductive than that prosecuted during
the year past.
"The mine is today in much bet
ter condition, as to developed ore,
and ore potentialities, than it has
ever been in the past.
There was a total of S4S7 feet
lof development work driven in the
Alpha mine in 1918 and 4940 feet
driven in the current year up to
April 80.
I'm making the estimates of ore
reserves herewith submitted, those
portions of the disseminated por-
phyry ore which have been thor
oughly drilled are included as com
prising fully developed ore, while
in other areas where ore has been
found but where drilling has not
been carried sufficiently far to es-
tablish definitely its limits, the ore
is considered as partially developed.
The estimate of heavy sulphide ores
based chiefly on existing assay rec
ords of the Old Glory mine. The
estimate of Alpha oxidized ore is
based on a conservative expectation
of the tonnage to be mined from the
faces of ore now exposed, based on
experience to date in mining this
ore. Owing to the heavy ground
existing in the oxidiZed ore zine, it
is not practicable to block out this
ore closely. Based on these prem

crosscut 10,04S on its course from
east drift 10,002, but up to the
present time its purpose, which is the
locating of the south vein at this
point in the mine, has not been
achieved. Good indications, consist
ing of a full-face of trachyte, have
been shown during the past several
weeks, however, and there is every
prospect that within short time the
vein will have been located.
On the I100-foot level the same
excellent shOwings, consisting of a
6-foot width of good grade ore. as
have been reported in past weeks,
continued in east drift I'LL, which
is being driven from northwest
crosscut 1166 on the south vein;
and no changes either in width or
values have been shown in west
drift No. 1170, which is going out
from the same crosscut in an op-
posite direction to the first-named
drift, the veine here being feet
wide and of fair grade.
On the 12O0-foot level work has
progressed at a satisfactory rate of
speed in west drift 1928 and east
drift 1929, which are being driven
from south crosscut 10. The south
vein, which is being opened up by
means of these drift woi kings, has
the face of each drift as it advances
constantly exposes the same width
as previously reported, namely, 5
eet and development work will be
continued in the expectation that
within a short time the values will
have so improved as to ct least
make the ore of commercial grade.
The two drifts on the footwall of
the shaft vein. which are being
driven from north crosscut 2 for
development purposes, also made
good headway and the high grade
streak, about inches wide, con-
tinues to be disclosed in each face.
On the 1300-foot level the usual
height was gained by raise Al,
which is going up from northwest
crosscut, 1924. to open up the Miz-
pah Fault vein between levels. In
the top of the raise 2-fOot width
of good grade ore is being broken.
There was no work done on the
1400-foot level, from which raise,
projected from west drift 1410, made
connections with the level above last
week. Plans are being made, how
ever, TO rthe development of the vein

Flats to induce an outfit of this
kind to mine there.
The company owns 125 acres of
highly mineralized ground. The
predominating geological formation
of the company's property is dark
gray crystalline limestone through
which run many veins, most of them
being highly mineralized. The
principal vein has an almost easterly
and westerly strike, and varies in
width up to six feet
The ore is, for the most part, a
silver-bearing galena, or lead-silver
ore. This ore shows a high per-
centage of lead with good silver
assays, a small gold content, 16
per cent iron and 3 per cent silica.
The ore is singularly free from in
terfering elements, and is in de
mand by the smelters, as it is al
most self-fluxing.
The main vein has been exposed
at several places on its strike

A chamber of commerce has been
organized at Nina, the supply point
for the Simon district, and $500 has
been raised for securing publicity.
Labor is now more plentiful in the
district and all companies are re-

sink to 700 feet, or 800 feet more
than the present depth of the shaft,
to prospect the vein at this depth
before starting construction of a
