HARMONY MINE IS
PROPERLY NAMED
Day Spent at the Big Mine in
Winnemucca's Back Yard
Proves to Be Replete
With Interest

The nan who named the Har-
mony mine, five miles southeast OF
Ninnenucca, had an eye to the
eternal fitness of things, for the
nine harmonizes with all the ele-
ments that usually go to make a
success of such an undertaking. 1t
aarmonizes with the subject of
| transportation, being within easy
reaching distance of this rail point;
| harmonzes with the subject of
.asy ore production, and better still
| t harmonizes with the subject of
alues, which in the final analysis
the single thing that makes a
mining venture worth while.
1t has come to be the practice for
! Winnemuccans to utilize the week
,rd dates for jaunts to the Har-
nony group, where every courtesy
| extended visitors by Manager
| !. B. Williams, who is proud of the
| great holding and takes keen de-
light in explaining defiinement,
plain to his mind as result of
years of study and exploratory
work.
Members of The Silver States
front office force essayed the task
Of accompanying Mr.. Williams in a
| trip over the Harmony group of
| twelve claims on Sunday. Two
| hundred and forty acres doesn't
| represent much of a piece de re-
| distance on the farm as matter of
walking. On the Harmony group
t represents a lot of toll and ia
tigue. This is especially true when
one follows an hex of the Williams
| type. Long and rangy and trained
| % the minute, spurred on by the
enthusiasm horn of a great pur-
pose, Mr.. Williams is about the
most undesirable pacemaker in Win
| nemucca and that's covering a lot
of territory in this land of hardy
| men.
Naturally, the principal point of
interest to the layman is the No. l
shaft and what it leads to, together
with the foreground equipment.
The equipment is labor saving to
the last degree and represents a
rare degree of skill on the part of
| Foreman Cox and Engineer Rein
hardt. 1t is doubtful if a mine in
the country is better equipped for
the economical handling of ore than
J the Harmony.
Number one shaft has a depth of
| 240 feet and has been in ore from
the surface of the ground. Five
| cross veins have been cut success
sively, one of three feet, one of
three and one-half feet, one of FIVE
feet, the next of fifty-five feet, it's
| successor having a width of 1875
feet, while the last is of such great
size that its extent remains unde-
| termined.
| Those veins yield ore of milling
| quality in an almost uniform sense,
the exceptions having to do with
extraordinary enrichment where
shipping rock is available and in
still others where high-grade rock
mas been recovered.
Back of this number one shaft
lies what in the opinion of many
competent minds is an incalculable
tonnage of milling ore. The entire
promontory jutting out to mark the
northern end of the Harmony range
holds out indubitable evidence that
within its formations are metal val
ues, including gold, silver, copper
and lead, as we'll as antimony-a
great natural depository of treasure.
Ore have been opened up on the
Harmony group in forty-nine diff
ferent places. Open cuts, shallow
shafts and tunnels have been util-
lied to prove the general enrich
ment of the entire area.
| Nineteen hundred feet up the hill
from shaft No. is the Red Rose
shaft. The single showing at this
point would have excited in the old
Nevada days. Today, it assumes
the category given the common
place, for it is only one of forty
nine showings, equally surprising.
At this shaft the Harmony mine or
ganization has sunk a shaft to a
dept hof fifty feet through good ore
the entire distance and thirty feet
of drifting on the fifty-foot level
has shown single hanging wall.
Work to the south of the Red
Rose has extended for a distance of
1850 feet. Numerous cuts and
shafts have proven up the territory
and show the existence of orebodies
along this entire distance. On every
dump and in every hole good values
are available as shown by the assay
tests made.
| Development work has shown five
true assures to exist on the Har-
mony group and only long con-
tinued activities will determine the
extent of the orebodies.
| The casual visitor to the Har-
mony mine is away after a period
| of observation very much after fhe
