NYE COUNTY TALKS
Mining PROSPERITY

That the present spirit of talking
hard time, what little there is of it,
is doomed to a short existence, is
evident from various utterances of
the state press. The following arti-
Gle regarding mining prospects in a
few sections of Nye county is clipped
from the Tonopah Bonanza. 1t rings
true to the spirit of progress:
Despite tho slackening-up process
which las hit all forms of business
the past year, which made no excep-
ton of mining, particularly prospect
ing. the eastern section of Nye county
the great mineral empire embrace
ing the heart of central Neyada--has
been going along with development in
a most satisfactory manner.
Bellehelen has started with a corps
of Iessees digging out ore in addition
TO company work. Results are graft
flying; and with the new year the
little colony is most hopeful. Silver
Bow has been working most of the
past year. The Blue Horse group.
under direction of George K. Allen
has developed a tremendous tonnage
of milling ore.
Helena, the original Clifford prop
erty, located on the main highway TO
Ely, has recently been subjected to a
most thorough examination, which in
cluded taking more than four hundred
samples. 1t is reported that the re-
suit of the examination has been sat
isfactory and we hope soon to an
nounce through these columns the
contamination of a deal upon this
ground. In times past tremendous
fortune was taken from this property,
which boasted the most beautiful
gold specimens ever taken from a
Nevada mine.
Arrowhead, the mainstay of the
new prospects CT southern Nevada,
Is developing with a big force of
miners. The hosting plant recently
installed has been turned over and is
running smoothly. Work is being
pushed on the 267-foot Cor third
level, in the form of drifting to west
and east, also the shaft is now going
down at a rate of three feet a day
to attain another fifty-foot lift on
the vein.
To engineers, the Arrowhead is a
most interesting study. Within the
porphyry, but very close to the i'm
mense porphyry contact that runs
from Eureka southwark through
Reveille into the Wawieh range on
the south, with ore resembling that
of Tonopah more than that of any
other camp, and with the develop
ment not even faltering during the
depression just ending, it would not
astonish those familiar with mining
conditions in this section if Arrow
head were TO open the eyes of the
world during 1921.
Arrowhead was a shipper of good
grade ore to Tonopah mills during
the past year, all this ore coming
during the process of development.
Tybo has taken lull after a half
year of most industrious effort The
smelter which was installed has not
proved up to expectations, but with
few metallurgical kinks taken out
and a few new ones put into the pro-
cess, Typo again will be on the hum.
These are but a few of the young
mines and prospects in our section
/ tributary to Tonopah. More will enter
with the loosening up of the finan-
cial stress and old Nye may again
introduce to the world new camp
which will stuff the Golfers of Uncle
Sam to bullying. Nevada is locked
| upon to do this, and she will respond.
