Charles M Schwab and his associates have acquired the
Middle Mines extending 5000 feet along the ComstoS lode
between the Gold Hill group and the North End mines
GLIDING the Con. Virginia and have appropriated $l50O00
for sampng the property well made plans expenl
100000 plant similar to Whiney's pant The Mid
die mines have produced %00O0OO0 in bullion
Approximately 100000 to be spent in the year
in constructing great centralized Silver and gold
uring plants in Nevada
Nevadas mining industry being
ly business lines and hereafter will be conducted as manu-
featuring industry.
Milling of ores into silver and gold bullion the mines
TO supercede the costly smelter method.
Working of groups of mines by corporations with one
central milling plant for each group is replace the
small individual mining companies
These are the highghs Of an interview given night
at the Hotel Sacramento by Edward S Van Dy president
and general manager of the Universal Slyes Company Of
unionvile Nevada who has been prominently identified
with Nevada's mining industry since 2e5 Van Dyck is
In this city preparatory making Sacramento his headquar
ers OF his concern and also to options Mother
Lode holdings for development operations on mammoth
scale.
These two great manufacturing plants will turn out
approximately 100000 in bullion annually when com
peted,' said Van Dycl last night Mining Engineers
of mines the famous Comstocl lode at Virginia City
after exhaustive investigations estimate there is enough
to keep this pace up for 80 years The Whitney in
erests took 5OOOsampcs before they commenced work and
report that they entirely satisfied with the showing
AT Unonvlle, where we have consolidated four Mines
covering 1000 Of proven territory of which only 70
have been mined date we have spent 100000 on
plant and expect spend much more The first
quarter unit of 2oO-ton daily capacity mil completed
There turn directly into silver bullion shipping to
the mat and saving all heavy transportation and smelling
charges made surrey of the entire after silver
started to come back in 1918 and picked Unonve as the
best locality
The days of the old mining game of the small mining
companies who relied speculation for profits and finance
gone forever in Nevada Mining OF that state have
come to realize that mining regular manufacturing
ness not speculative any longer and that should be CON
Quoted along strict business lines the any other
industry
THE old mining camp of Candelara 70 miles north of
Tonopah which yielded $22o00o00 is again active The
oandearia Mines Company has already spent 100000 in
developing body and in erecting 200on capa-
city MILL and expects to spend 100000 within the
next year.
The Phoebe district continuing to ship large quantities
OF ore to the smeter but hauling and smctng charges do
not make the district entirely profitable to operate
Sending of silver and gold ar-off sneters is to
be done away with. The ores can be turned into bullion
bricks ready for the mint at the mine for per cent OF the
old smelter cost Thewholesae mining operations OF the
copper district shall be applied silver and gold terri
tories We shall operate mines the same as we would
\ shoe factory
N Development of the Mother Lode county OF California
along the same manufacturing lines is being pursued in
Nevada is proposed
California is to experience mining revival on gigan-
tic scale There is why the Mother Lode cam
not be worked through mammoth manufacturing nlants
the same as the Comstock Lode be worked in Nevada
intend to get locations the California lode and erect
plant similar to the Comstock plants The only saliva
ton OF mining production large scale and milling at
the mine"
In the future we shall have great silver and gold manu-
featuring plants, into which will be fed OF values from
the lowest to the highest from group of mines BY this
method old abandoned mines from which the accessible
high grade has been taken and old dumps can be worked
over profiaby
Van Dyck announced that Harry Payne Whitney and
ms associates, under the of the United Consock
Mines Company has acquired the Gold Hill property
and are expanding 100000 on their development Two
thousand feet of the 10000 tunnel prosecuting the
shafts OF the old mines cutting the ore bodies below them
are already completed and 10000 feet of lateral tunneng
will soon be started mill with 25OOton daily canacit
more than twice the capacity of any mill previously erected
In Nevada, is half completed
The Comsock lode has produced near billion in orc and
