EXPERT ISSUES REPORT ON White RIVER VALLEY

bedded brittle shale which gives
evidence of having at one time con-
tanned petroleum. Fresh speci-
mems of shale give off strong
odor and upon breaking the lime
concretions in this shale small
globules of oil can sometimes be
found.
"The dominating structural fea-
ture of this area is q series OF
normal faults to which the forma-
ton of the two mountain ranges on
either side of the valley are due.
The strata dip at varying angles to
the east depending upon proximity
to these fault planes. The vertical
throw of the fault along the eastern
side of the valley which was instru-
mental in the formation of the Egan
range. was not measured but must
have been several thousand feet.
(The fault throw is explained by
diagram accompanying the report) !.
Previous to the time that the first
movement took place along the
plane the sedimentary formations
probably lay flat or at very slight
angles from the horizontal. When
the movement started the whole
series was cut by a vertical fault
or by one with pitch slightly in
clined to the east, and the beds on
the eastern side of this were raised
up or those on the west were cor
respondingly depressed. This move
ment probably did not take place
all at once but represents the re-
suits of a large number of displace-
ments over long period of time.
The result Is that the formations on
the western side of the valley are
dipping toward the east passing un-
derneath the valley at an angle OF
approximately 20 degrees to the
point where they are cut by the
fault. Here these same formations
are raised up several thousand feet
and again dip toward the east to
form the next succeeding valley.
Proofs of this are found in the re-
currence of the oil shale at the base
of the Egan range on the eastern
side Sof the valley. and in the nu-

RAD|UM MINERALS

Radium minerals are generally
found in connection with granite
masses-that is, in places where
granite forms at least part of the
rock of the country. Most of the
original radium minerals. such as
uraninite, samarskite. and banner
ite, are black and have shiny frac-
ture and a high specific gravity.
These minerals are rarely found in
commercially valuable quantities.
Pitchblende, which has the same
composition as uraninite and the
same general appearance except that
it shows no crystal form, occurs In
veins. 1t has been found in only a
few places--in Bohemia, southern
Saxony, Cornwall, and Gilpin oOun-
ty, Colo. When these original min
erals break down through weather.
ing other radium minerals are
formed from them, such as autunite,
torbenite, carnotite, and tyuyamun-
ite.

Since the decision of the trades
craftsmen and the union miners and
mill men, to return to their former
places in the mines of Tonopah and
the Divide district was made. the
forces at each of the mines of Tono-
pah have steadily been increased,
until at nearly all the properties at
least one crew of miners and under
ground men is working. The re-
ports submitted by the superin-
tendents of the different operating
companies in the Tonopah district
are given below under the respect
i've headings:

The Tonopah Belmont Develop

RICH ORE on LEVELS
OF ARROWHEAD MINE
NEW COMPANIES BEING FORMED
TO DEVELOP PROSPECTS
IN DISTRICT

Reports of continued success in
opening rich silver-gold ore are
being received from the Arrow
head district, between Ely and To-
nopah and near Twin Springs. In
175-foot shaft the Arrowhead, on
which the original discovery was
made by Peter Fox, prospecto-,
has exposed on the 75 and 100-foot
levels and in drifts from the bot
tom of the shaft ore assaying high
in silver and gold. Some of the
drift faces average over 5000 per
ton and picked samples assay over
$1,000. The highest grade ore is IN
winze from the 100-foot level
and it is believed the extension of
this has been found in drift driven
east on the bottom level.
A number of other companies
have been incorporated to develop
claims adjoining or close to the
original discovery and mining men
are of the opinion that the new dis
trict has a bright future. A town
site has been laid out and it is re-
ported that a number of lots have
already been sold.
Arrowhead is less than five miles
from the noted old Gila mine, which
has a production record of over
100000 in rich silver ore.

TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING BIG SUMS and

stating that the lower grade ore
necessarily runs into millions of
TONS" Major Catlin said: Low
grade ore in most districts means
value OF from IS to $40, in
Eureka from SIS to $50 or more. 1t
can, think, be shown that there
is more ore of an extremely good
value, but under shipping require
ments, in Eureka than in any dis
trict in North America.
For utilization of values from
such ores in Eureka ii is not a
question of tonnage but of treatment
on very large scale"
Major Catlin, with more com
plex ore, is confronted with the
same problem the men who are at
tempting to make success of the
Goldfield Development company
have before them with free-milling
ore. In both cases ''it is not a
question of tonnage but of treat
ment on a very large scale" The
Eureka Croesus has had tests made
and it is said the problem of large
scale treatment has been solved
through flotation. AS a result of
these tests a 250-ton plant, which.
IL successful is to be enlarged to
1000 tons, will be constructed early
next year. The construction of
500 ton plant to treat custom ores
is planned by company organized
by Eugene Davis.
In addition to the resources in
the old stope filling and low grade
ore left standing the Eureka Croe-
sus has in recent months developed
huge high-grade bodies through ex-
ploration started on the 4OO-foot
level. The main showing of ore
opened in recent work is in a 'winze

The word "once" can no longer

ant sales.
The Eureka district, according
to the only available records. was
discovered about 1869 by prospect
ors from Virginia City, then 10
years old and John w. Mackay of
Comstock fame was one of the men
who put his money into the Rich
mond- Eureka mines to assist in
their development. Shelters for
lead-silver ores were built by the
richmond and Eureka Consolidated
and their capacity was gradually in
creased until they became the larg-
est plants in the world treating this
class of ore~ These mines, with

ka as the worlds greatest lead dis
trict until nearly 1890 and during
that period it was exceeded in sill
yer output only by the Comstock.
The Eureka and Palisade railroad,
recently bought by Eugene Davis,
principal owner of the Eureka Cree
sus, was built in 1875 as narrow
guage road to furnish the town
with an outlet over what is now the

In an interview in the Nevada
Mining Press in August, Major
Henry G. Gatlin. an eminent mining
engineer who has been connected
with the district since 1878, said
of these orebodies: ''As a conse-

The report of A. K. p. Harmon,
Jr., on the geology and oil pros
poets of the White River valley,
made under direction of Walter Stall
der of San Francisco, has been re-
ceived here. The White River val
ley is near Lund, in White Pine
county.
The report follows:
Location and Topography
The area examined is situated in
townships 10 and IL north, ranges
60 and 81 east, Mt. Diablo Base and
Meridian, partly in White Pine, lin
coin and Nye counties, Nevada.
"It lies in the White River valley
between two mountain ranges, the
Grant mountains on the west and
the Egan range on the east, both
of which rise to heights of over
5000 feet above the level of the val
ley. The Grant mountains slope
gently into the valley from the
west, while on the east the Egan
range rises abruptly from it's floor.
Numerous springs, some of which
are quite large, occur at the base
of the Egan mountains along the
eastern side of the valley.
Geology
"On account of adverse structural
conditions it was found inadvisable
to make any detailed study OF the
formations involved. 1t suffices to
state that they are limestone and
quartzites which, from the indenti-
fication of the fossils collected, are
placed approximately as of the
Triassic age. There is intercalated
in the limestone an extremely thin

tinued in order that raise S37
might be started on the vein from

full face of good grade ore. Drift
S36, which runs to the east, also
shows a face of ore, but the values
at present are rather low.
In addition to the development

in different sections of the Ohio
ground, and they are furnishing
quantities of ore for the, mill. which

One crew of men is engaged in
breaking ore at the No. shaft
section of the Tonopah Extension
while another crew is at the Victor
shaft putting the shaft and stations
and adjacent workings in good
shape for resumption of activities
on a normal scale.
It is believed that within short
time operating conditions will have
improved to such an extent that the
