NEVADA'S PRODUCTION IS
SHOWN IN GOVT REPORT

largest output of silver, or about
5,SOO,OOO ounces, was produced in
the Tonopah district, where the
principal contributors were the
Tonopah Extension, Tonopah Min
ing, Tonopah Belmont and West
End. Large quantities of silver
also came from the Nevada Won
der, in Churchill county, and the
Rochester Mines, in Humboldt
county. Small outputs came from
the Yellow Pine, Nevada Packard,
Prince Consolidated, Elko Prince
and several properties at Virginia
City. The Comstock district pro-
duced about 100000 ounces, and
several properties at Rochester
produced about $4,000 ounces.
The mine output of copper de-
creased from 122,794,7O4 pounds
in 1917 to about los, 100000
pounds in 1918. The value of the
output decreased from $S3,522,954
to about $26,O00,0O0. The Ne
vada Consolidated, at Ely, in
White Pine county, the largest
producer, contributed more than
100000 pounds of copper per
month, and the Consolidated Cop
permines, in the same county, was
producing more than 100000
pounds a month. At Thompson,
in Lyon county, the Mason Valley
smelter was operated throughout
the year at the rate of about l.
10000 pounds a month. In this
region the Bluestone mine was a
large producer, and the Nevada
Douglas made considerable ship
ments. At Luning, in Mineral
county, the Wall Street shipped a
large tonnage of copper ore, and
in Lander county the Copper Can
yon made notable production.
The mine output of lead de-
creased from 27,677,92S pounds in
1917 to about 2o,60O,O0O pounds
in 1918. The palue of the out
put decreased from $2,3S0,302 to
about $1,5fIeaO. One of the
largest lead producers in the state
! was the Prince Consolidated, at
Phoebe, which shipped iron-man-

GRANDMA DRIFT IS
IN OREBODY OF
LOW GRADE

A 245O-pound balance
has been installed in the Grandma
shaft to relieve the hoist and is
Operating successfully. The Grand
ma shaft is double compartment
and one compartment has been
used for air pipe and as a manway.
The counter-balance has been in
stalled in a section of this COM
partment, making it no longer
necessary for the hoist to lift the
entire load of cage, car and ore.
The 245O-pound weight equals the
combined weight of the cage
and unloaded ore car, the counter
balance in this way reducing the
the strain on the double-drum
hoist to the raising of only the
weight of the ore.
A drift in three feet of nom
commercial ore is being driven
north from the east. or No. SOL
crosscut, at a depth of 815 feet.
This drift, which was started on
June 1, is being advanced in the
most promising material opened
in the mine. The sol crosscut
and the sump crosscut to the west,
the latter from the 830-foot, or
bottom level, have proved the ST
licified material being explored to
be 212 feet wide. Neither Of
these crosscuts entered the shale,
showing, in connection with the
drift to the south, that the shaft
penetrated one of the many ridg-
es in the surface of the shale.
| Owing to the recent discover
les in the adjoining Spearhead
and to the importance now attach
ed to development work in the
contact zone, unusual interest is
being taken in the exploration OF
the great quartz zone in the Grand
ma, as 1t is realized here that q
good body OF ore may be opeend
at any point, an event that would
be of great Importance to the en-
tire district.

LONE STAR STARTS
WORKING ON
ESQ LEVEL

Since the completion of the re-
pairing and overhauling of the
hoist and equipment at the old
Nelligan shaft, now known as Lone
Star shaft No. l, the shaft has
been unwatered and the work of
cleaning out and retimbering the
crosscuts on the 250-foot level has
progressed rapidly.
The east drift on this level will
be driven south to cut the copper
vein recently found on the inter-
mediate level SO feet above, which
connects No. l shaft with the bot
tom of the old incline shaft to the
south.
Five men are employed and
more will be added as soon as
they can be used to advantage.

INDIFFERENCE OF GOVERNMENT
TO MINERALS INDUSTRIES
IS POINTED OUT

|of the department of labor that a
test of naional strength is the
ability to meet any emergency
through cooperative effort, and
that these responses by the min
ing people of the country should
not be neglected by the govern
ment. The industries were en-
titled to a chance to do their part
for the future development of the
country, and the government was
in duty bound to see that they had
that chance. When the resources
of America had been shown, in any
instance, to be inadequate, it was
time to see about impOrtations to
make good the deficiency. That
applies to any industry. We do
not want state socialism, but pro-
lection to the productive power of
the country is not socialism; it is
the protection to opportunity for
private effort in order to make
Yourselves self sustaining. IL
might seem, in a narrow view OF
self-interest, to some of the larg-
Ter industries that they were being
benefited by having cheap foreign
raw materials accessible, but in
the end they were preventing the
growth of the country and Of 9TH
er industries that would make a
combined demand that would more
than offset the advantage of lit
tie reduction in the first cost OF
portion of their supplies.
AS one means for insuring bal
ance of protection and encourage
Iment of the related industries Mr..
Lord insisted that it was as i'm
portant that there should be unity
Iof action among the owners OF the
mines as among the employees. Or

dence among the workers and ia
cilitate cooperation for the high
est industrial ends; it would ter
inmate that kind of competition
that makes the operators the easy
victims of their own sysem through
the effort to grab the market
away from others. In this system
are the elements of self-destruc-
tion that create panics and prostra-
tion of business. A sane protec-
tive policy can be developed only
by association of the interests
hat constitute the commercial
strength of the country. and such
association should have power to

TWO SHIFTS OF MINERS
WORKING IN SPEARHEAD

In work in similar places in ther
district the best ore in the quartz
extending into the shale was
found to lie on the shale walls of
the quartz, and should the raise
extend for some distance into the
quartz mass above the shale sur
face without exposing an import
ant orebody, it is pointed out that
this would have no particular sig
nificance as the rich ore in the
Jumbo Extension was found at
places from 80 to 40 feet above
the shale.
Whether there is any relation
between the Jumbo Extension and
Spearhead orebodies is unknown,
but it is the general opinion that
there is no relation. Both are sec
ondary deposits, according to ex-
pert opinion, the enrichment be-
ing from areas above and occur
ring through the action of solu-
tions receding through the great
quartz mass, which has been shown
to extend toward the surface for
several hundred feet.
Much has been said here of late
of the shale and of the fact that
ore is not found far within the
shale proper, owing to chemical
conditions, and this formation has
come to be regarded as the one
below which no ore can be found,
but it has. been demonstrated at
many points aside from in the
Spearhead that the quartz intrudes
into the shale Such intrusions
have never been explored to any
appreciable depth.
The opinion has been expressed
by several eminent. geologists, fol-
lowing their examinations of the
formations here, that exploration
of the quartz intrusions will prove
their contentious that great ore
bodies, of low grade and contain
ing principally copper, will be ex-
posed through the sinking of
shafts to the shale-granite con-
tact. In January, 1917, the Jum-
bo Extension company installed
drilling equipment on the 1917
foot level and in this way explor-

The value of the gold, silver,
copper, lead and zinc mined in
Nevada in 1918 was over $45,O0O,-
600, according to the preliminary
figures compiled by Victor c..
Heikes of the United States geo
logical survey, department of the
interior. This is a decrease of
over $9,O00,00O from the output
of 1917, when the mines produced
$54,424,5S0. The decrease was
general, and in point of values the
largest decrease was that in cop
per, which amounted to more than
s7,OOO,000.
The gold output of Nevada de-
creased from $6.959,46S in 1917
to about $6,70O,00O in 1918. This
is a comparatively small decrease
when the isolation of the camps
and the excessive costs are consid-
cred. Although the Goldfield
Consolidated has held the record
of being the largest gold producer
of Nevada for several years, the
gold output declined about 40 per
cent. Gold from the Tonopah dis
trict was also decidedly decreased
and amounted to about $780,
900. Gold producers of the state
which had an output of more than
100000 each were the Nevada
Consolidated from copper ore; the
Aurora Consolidated, the White
Caps at Manhattan, the Elko
Prince, the Olympic mines, in Min
eral county; the Union Consolidat-
ed, at Virginia City; the Roches-
ter mines, at Rochester. Other
notable gold producers were the
Round Mountain property, Nevada
Wonder, Dahl Placer, Consolidated
Virginia, Comstock Leasing COM
pany and Consolidated Copper
mines. There was a decided de-
crease in gold from the Seven
Troughs district and from Chur-
chill county. AS result of the
developments at depth on the Com
lstock lode, that district produced
more than $4O0, 900 in gold.
The mine production of silver
decreased from 12,269,969 ounces
to about 100000 ounces in
1918. The value of the output,
however, increased from $9,296,-
454 to about $9,687,0O0. The

this drift, which is being advanc-
ed as rapidly as possible.
A grab sample taken from the
mine cars containing 80 tons of
the first ore broken after the dis
covery was made assayed S165.05.
This sample was taken entirely
from the first, or lowest grade
ore, that has been mined since the
new vein was found.
After further work had been
done at the intersection of the
two veins a 12-foot face of $3.50
ore was exposed, grab samples
taken from the mine cars assaying
$40 per ton.
Other work continues to add to
the already vast ore resources of
the mine. On the 260 and 365-
foot levels the orebody has been
opened for over 800 feet in length
and has been shown to have an av-
erage width of 26 feet. The
grade of ore has been found to
be higher on the third level than
on the upper levels and at one
point the entire width of 26 feet
has been found to assay $50.
While the Divide has attracted
the attention of mining men since
shortly after the great possibili-
ties of the mine were demonstrate
ed in early work, the new discov-
cry places the property in the bo-
nanza class and it is the opinion
of mining men here that the Di-
vide now stands forth as one OF
the greatest silver-gold properties
in the country.

GOOD PRODUCTION
BEING MADE BY
GREAT BEND

Owing to compressor trouble
and making repairs to the Great
Bend shaft and station at the 16O-
foot, or upper level, ore produc-
tion was interrupted during the
past week.
The extraction of ore has been
resumed, however, and the usual
output is now being made from the
slopes above the 160-foot level.
The orebody at this point is errat-
ic in value, but recently an i'm
provement was shown, resulting in
an increase in the amount of ma
terial being hauled to Columbia
for shipment to the smelters. The
drift from lisa raise recently
connected with 113-b raise from
the 16O-foot level, providing a
stopping area of 12O feet through
to the surface, and the ore now
being shipped is coming from
Slopes above this level.
The work in general, both in
ore extraction and development,
is progressing under conditions
that afford encouragement to the
management
The lisa raise was driven on a
flat incline in the course of work
in 1916, when it was found neces-
sary to discontinue operations at
this point owing to lack of ven-
tilation. Several months ago the
raise was continued to connect
with an adit and in this way good
air was afforded for further de-
velopment OF this part of the vein.
he lisa and b raises were then
Connected with a drift that in plac-
es exposed faces of ore assaying
over 500 per ton.
A large tonnage of ore of mill
ing grade is exposed in the mine
and on the dumps and the quanti-
ty is being increased constantly.
It is planned to eventually treat
this ore in a mill on the ground.

On Dec. 80 the southeast drift
on the third, or 365-foot level of
the Tonopah Divide, at point ESQ
feet southeast of the main cross
cut, entered the intersection of a
new vein and the main vein in
which the drift was being driven.
Where first cut a sample of four
feet of the new vein assayed 5000
per ton. On Dec. 81 a sample
taken across a four-foot face as
sayed $397.SO. On the night of
Dec. 81 the ore widened to six
feet and on the morning of Jan. l
this entire face assayed $35S.SO.
The new vein strikes southwest
and dips to the east.
These figures, reported on Jan.
3 by A. l. Darcy, consulting
engineer for the Tonopah Divide
company, contain the story of what
is considered to be one of the
most remarkable finds in the his
tory of mining inA the state and one
which places the Tonopah Divide
in the first rank of the country's
silver-gold mines.
Only the footwall of the vein
has been exposed, so that the
width of the rich orebody is un-
known. After a drift had been
advanced five feet southwest on
the new discovery, a sample of the
face was taken on January 2
Eighteen inches on the footwall
assayed $506.S0 and four feet on
the hanging wall assayed $67.1O

The following editorial, taken
from the Manufacturers Record
has been sent out from the Wash
ington headquarters of the Ameri-
can Mining Congress:
AT the meeting of the mangan-
ese producers last week in Wash
ing resolutions were passed, rep
rCsenting the opinion of delegates
from 22 states, that the spirit and
intent of the minerals control act
should be carried out as mat
ter of justice. The secretary ol
the interior was asked to render
final decision as to what migh'
be done, and in response to a com
r,ittee appointed to ascertain his
views he explained that he fell
that further legislation was neces-
sary to give him full warrant tc
act under the changed conditions
He suggested that the minerals
act be amended so that it might be
applied for the liquidation OF
losses incurred by the producers
of the war minerals.
1t is a fact that millions OF dol
lars have been spent by patriotic
men in this country in the erec-
tion of plants for the production
of potash and in developing other
mineral resources, trusting in the
faith and honor of the United
States government, and that under
no circumstances would they have
spent a dollar on these enterpris-
es in the face of the foreign com
petition which would have pre-
vented such industries being de-
veloped profitably. They were
urged and persuaded by many gov,
ernment agencies, including the
department of the interior, to use
strenuous efforts to provide these
essentials for the nation, and II
was universally understood that
they would be protected by the
war minerals bill that was then
pending. How can the admins
tration explain it's shortcoming il
this obligation is not frankly and
honestly met?
America should be made indus
trial1y Independent. The collapse
of these industries, now that they
have been called into being, would
exert a discouraging influence upor
the people. 1t is necessary that
they should be recompensed fol
the money they have lost, but bach
of that lies a patriotic effort fol
the national welfare that shoult
meet with evidence Of appreciation
and the only way to do this is tt
sustain the industries. 1t wa
