SHIPS
 SEVENTH CARLOAD ! OF ORE TO SHELTER

The Dardanelles at Chloride ship ped its seventh carload of ore to the shelter last Tuesday. This ore was from the new 16O foot level, which is being opened up. All the ores have been taken out in development and have been made to help largely in the carrying on of the work. Each car returned approximately $120O net, or at the rate of about $40 per ton. :. . The Dardanelles is situated to the north and east of the old Elkhart mine and in we'll mineralized sec tion of the Chloride district. The shaft was sunk without expectation of striking ore until it had been carried down over 200 feet, but at a depth of 80 feet the first ore was encountered and this body has been developed largely. Sinking was continued to the present level and throughout the developed ground excellent ore was found, the body being large. Miners who have looked the ground over re- port that this mine is one of the big properties of that end of the Wallapai district.

(. Q. D. MILL TO BE IN OPERATION
 MONTH OF FEBRUARY

The big mill at the c. o. D. mine is rapidly being rushed to completion
 and the management announce the plant will be in operation early in February. Every modern appliance and method for the economical and eff ficient treatment of the ore has been carefully gone into and the various mining engineers and experts who have visited the plant pronounce it one of the most complete and up to date mills in the state. Much time and care was devoted by MT. Widow son, who designed the mill, in the preparation of the flow sheet and ex- haustive tests made of the ores be- fore the flow sheet was drawn. That the c. O. D. mill will make history in the Cerbat range goes without say ing, as there has never been a question as to the extent of the ore bodies in the mine. The complexity of the ores, however, has always been metallur- gical problem, and this being solved, by the Dudley mill, will mean the re- sumption of activities throughout the district, and much activity is looked for in the near future.

TELLURIDE HAS BETTER THAN 30$ ORE
 ON TAE 400 LEVEL

The drift from the 400 foot level of the Telluride mine, running toward the Tom Reed estate, is reported to be all in ore of a value in excess of $50 per ton. The drift on the 500 level showed ore carrying values bet ter than $40 per ton and it was on this level that the ore was first found that carried high mill values. TheI devel- opment of the ore bodies in the prop erty may now be carried on with vigor, the company being financed to carry on an energetic campaign.
 The property of the Telluride com pany lies in the basin to the east of the main estate of the Tom Reed and corners in on the Reed and United American. It is in the same terri tory that the American has just open ed, it's big ore body, although on a different vein. The Tom Reed has also opened big body of ore to the north and east of the eTlluride, which indicates that the territory in that part of the Reed vein system is well mineralized. The opening of these ore bodies at greater depth will be of importance, as showing that the en- try of the older andesite by the Oat- man veins does not initiate against their productivity. As the United American is sinking a winze in the ore body on the> 660 level, which is cotemporaneous with the 500 level of the Telluride and the 400 level of the Aztec, we may expect to have a thorough demonstration of ore possi- bilities at greater depth than the ore bodies have heretofore been followed in the east end veins.

CANADA MINERAL
 OUTPUT INCREASED

The Dominion of Canada increased it's output of mineral for the year 1920 $24,000,000 over that of 1919. The entire production of all classes of min eral was valued at $200,000,000, the largest in the history of the dominion Gold mined during the year was val ued at $16,OOO,OOO; Silver 13,5OO,OOO ounces; copper s2,5O0,OOO pounds; zinc 42,0OO,OOO pounds; pig iron 100000 short tons; steel ingots and bessemer steel castings 1,22O,OO0 short tons. While the production of silver showed slump a slight increase in value gave it approximately the same value as the 1919 production. Gold mining has been fostered to some extent and the production of the metal has in creased to some extent. Should the open market be allowed the gold pro ducers that metal will be given a great impetus throughout the northwestern part of the Dominion.

England Re7m0netizes
 Her SiLUer

standard of silver coinage land get away with it, why cannot the United States change it's gold coinage to suit the times? England does business with her colonies in silver, but prede- cated on gold basis, and just what the effect of this new money scheme will have on the world trade is un- known. Silver does not go out from England, except through her col onies and possibly China and Japan and her business is best subserved by keeping the value of silver far below one dollan an ounce. Was silver to go to high mark England would be put out of commission in it's trade relations with the. far east and the United States would become the mart of the world. The remonetization of silver in the United States is bus mess proposition that the big fellows of this country are overlooking. Eng land is a buying nation and has to come to either the United States, Mex ice or Canada for her silver and an embargo on the white metal would make hard lines for the Mother coun- try, and correspondingly benefit the producing nations.

6. s. DUSCHNESS IN KINCMAN THIS WEEK

G. S. Duschness, General Manager of the Rural Mines, Inc, is in town as the guest of M. B. Dudley. MT. Duschness reports very satisfactory progress at the Lodi mine, in Nye County, Nevada, which property was taken over recently by the Rural com- pany. F. H. Lerchen recently com pleted an exhaustive examination of the Lodi property and is now in King man in consultation with MrDusch- ness regarding future operations. Ex- tensive alterations and improvements are to be made in the milling plant and campaign of vigorous develop ment, blocking and milling is being outlined for the immediate future. The Lodi is one of the most famous of the old Nevada mines and has a record of over million dollars pro- duction. The consensus of opinion of those familiar with the property is that it is hardly scratched and that it will shortly again take it's place among the big dividend payers of the west.

EDW. COPLEY WRITES
 FROM PITTSBURGH

The mining editor is in receipt of letter from Edward Copley, who is in Pittsburgh looking after the finan- cing of the Kingman Con. Mining company and the Payroll. He reports that the financial end of the two or ganizations is working out nicely and that operations for the whole year are assured.
 The Kingman Con. Mining company has concluded to devote it's entire eff fort toward the driving of the deep tunnel. Three shifts are to be put on at once and all possible speed made in getting this great bore under the old ore bodies of the Prince George and other properties. To get the best re- suits it was considered that the mill on the Banner should be closed down, especially during the prevailing low prices of metals, and all expenditures made on development of the mines. The tunnel is now in close to the ore bearing zone of the Prince George and we may expect to hear of this ore being opened any day. The prop erty is under the management of Will Halloran, we'll known mining man. Under his management the past sev- eral months great progress has been made, and we are of the opinion that he will soon be able to present to the shareholders a real producer. That the mines are important cannot be gainsaid, because every mining engi- neer of note who has examined the property has placed his stamp of ap- proval on them. They have at times been large producers from the grass roots and the general impression here has been that with depth they would be among the most important produc- CTS of the state. The deep tunnel will open the properties at such depth that enormous backs of ore Will be made available, the whole Stockton Hill area drained and every vein made to add it's quota to the general produc- tion of the district.
 Kingman people have always been intensely interested in the opening of the mines of Stockton Hill through a deep tunnel and when the company was originally financed showed their appreciation of the proposed work by buying largely of the stock. They have not lost faith in the project, al- though the work up to this time has been very slow. With the operations of the company in competent hands we may look for important results.
