The Prince mine is typical exam
pie Of replacement disposition, the re-
suit OF ascending mineralizing solu-

were formed where ever these solu-

they will be proven fully as extensive

Is substantiated by the results Of
diamond drill development.
Sufficient ore reserves are still av
ailable In this mine to Justify the con
tinuation of steady shipments to the

melters, but the management has
rot as yet decided whether ship

freight rates, has shown but little
If any reduction, hence any drop
in wages would work hardship on
employees. Consequently the wages
now paid by the Prince Consolidated
compare favorably with the tariffs
in effect in other mining camps o.
the state.
The bonus system Is still in op
Grafton and provides for minim.
um pay roll wage, which is increas
ed by tonnage bonus averaged ov

many Of the men to earn a sub
stantial wage check.
The company at the same time
receives an increase in revenue
with consequent lowering of the to-
tai mining cost.
The early commencement of the
shaft sinking anticipated by the
management is good news for the
Phoebe district. Entire confidence
is held by local mine operators of
the wonderful possibilities which
will be opened up by the big Prince
shaft at depth.

Piocne Stocks on
Mining Exchanges
Salt Lake Exchange

More interest is being taken in
mining stocks and a better feeling
exists. The resumption of sinking
the main shaft at the Prince mine
with the assurance Of a vast tonn-
age OF higher grade ore not subject
to the limitations which effect the
market for fuxing ores is expected
to have immediate influence upon
the Price for Prince stock which
'hould keep pace as in the past
with the progress of the shaft.
With freer money as is evidenced
by a buoyancy in industriais and
other bonds stocks Of the produc-
'ng mines should be a good invest

PRINCE CONSOLIDATED TO RESUME
SINKING Of MAIN SHAFT TO DEPTH

Active preparations are In progress

tapping the rich ore beddings deve-

diamond drilling.

boiler plant has been tried out and
is ready for immediate operation
The steam compressor plant will also
be prepared for immediate use, this
work being in charge of Nelson Ba-
ker, who has had the supervision Of
the machinery and equipment at the
Prince mine for number of years,
with results pleasing to the COM
pany.
The main vertical shaft is now 634
feet deep, and at 496 feet a large
pump station has been cut and equi-
pped for the continuation of the
sinking Of the shaft to great depth
A distance of approximately 100
feet has yet to be penetrated before
the shaft will reach its first objec-
tive, the iron bed, samples from
which carried Is ounces in silver
and $3.50 in gold, with only a trace
in lead content. Considerable fine

A large tonnage should be OBJ

parallel with the ore beds above the
water level, which have produced
close to a million tons of profitable

from this bed indicate richer values
in the lower beds and the possibili-
ties apparently are almost unlimited.
Four hundred feet below this ore

Metal Output 1920 Figures
Prince Consolidated Remains Largest Lead Pro-
ducer IN State. AH Figures Interesting

The value Of the gold, silver.
copper. lead and zinc mined in Ne
Ttda in 1920 was about $23,960. 0.OOo
recording to preliminary figures of
he United States Geological Sury-
ey, department of the interior.
This represents an increase OF
about $527, 900 over the output In
1919. A large decrease in the
quantity Of gold was balanced by
increases in other metals, but the
output Of copper, lead and zinc
was still far below that of 1918.
The gold output of Nevada de-
creased from $4,541,5O2 in 1919 to
about $3,579,00O in 1920, a decrease
Of more than 81 per cent. The
Goldfeld Consolidated property, for
several years the largest gold pro-
ducer in Nevada, was operated by
the Goldfield Development Company
and comparatively small produc-
tion was reported The output of
gold from the Tonopah district,
however, increased from $771,SO4 in
1919 to about $1,O63,000 in 1920,
on account of the larger output of
the accompanying silver, which was
favored by high price. The Ne
vada Consolidated company, at Ely,
operating the largest copper mine in
Nevada, was also the largest pro-
ducer Of gold in the state. The
Elkoro mine, at Jarbridge, was the
largest producer Of gold from gold
ores, and the Tonopah Belmont
company produced the most gold
from silver ores. Other mines that
made an output of gold valued at
more than $150,000 each were the
West End, Tonopah Extension, Con.
solidated Virginia, and Tonopah
Mining Company, The Fairview
Round Mountain, Round Mountain
Rochester Mines, Elko Prince, Mon.
tana Tonopab, and Florence Mines
were also producers Of gold. though
several Of these failed to reach the
ltput of the previous year. The
hines Of the Comstock district were
active, especially in development
work, though their output Of GOLD
was somewhat less than in 1919
when they produced $355,640 Ir
the Rochester, district, the Rochester
Mines Company, was a large produ
Ger of gold, and there was fair in
crease over the output of 1919.
Late in the year the new dredgt
Of the Gold Canyon Dredging Com
pany, began operations near Daytor
On old Comstock tailings.
The mine production Of silver in
creased from 6.S63,5S0 ounces II
1919 to about 7.7S6.O00 ounces II
1920 and in value from $7,sS7.21(
to about $S.490,000. The large mi
mes Of the Tonopah district pro
duced about 100000 ounces OF sill
yer in 1920, against 3,56S,s75 oun
ces In 1919, and 6,929,s20 ounces
in 1918. The largest producers o
silver were the Tonopah Belmont

The mine output of copper In
creased in quantity from 52,331,175
pounds in 1919 to about 55,79O,O00
pounds in 1920 but decreased in
value from $9.733,5ss to about 50,
$4,000. The output was less than
half that of 1913. The Nevada Con
solidated, in White Pine County.
was the largest producer and contri-
buted more than 100000 pounds
OF copper a month. The Consoli-
dated Coppermines, in the same
county made no effort to produce CO
pper ore under the prevailing con-
ditions. The Mason Valley smelter
at Thompson, in Lyon county, was
idle during the entire year, and ma

eral counties therefore found it
impossible to operate,
The mine output of lead increas-
ed from 15,349,370 pounds in 1919
to about 19,510.00O pounds in 1920
and in value from $S13,517 to alb
out $1,592,000. The Prince Con-
solidated Mine at Phoebe, and the
Yellow Pine mine, in Clark county,
were the largest lead producers in
the state. There was much activi-
ty in the mines near Phoebe and a
greater production from the Virgin
ia-Louise, Black Metals, Bristol Sill
yer Mines Company and still other
large producers were the Spruce
Monarch, in Elko County, Eureka
