METALLUKOY OPENS GREAT
PROFITS FOR ELY COPPER
What has been accomplished in met
allurgy and what still remains to be
worked out is illustrated by the ope
rations of the Nevada Consolidated
! ( 0pp« r company in the Ely district.
Only a few years ago a miner pros
: pected the vicinity of Copper Elat and
! located a group of four claims where
! the company is now mining by steam
shovels, such Urge tonnage of ore from
which copper is being extracted at a
i lower cost than in any other copper
mining district. At the time the miner
had his four locations he spent consid
erable time sampling and testing the
values of the deposits he found there.
He even succeeded in getting a cap
tain of mining finance to come and
make a personal investigation with the
view of becoming interested with him.
After spending some days in investiga
tions the mining man summed it up
by saying that “the more you have
of this ground, the worse you are off.’'
This ended his interest in the district
and the locator of the claims let them
lapse, though he had the money at that
time to develop the claims sufficiently
to obtain patent.
Now that the diamonds have been
found masculine Ely proved methods of
handling ores of that class, is making
money by mining and treating the ore
carrying two and a half per cent cop
per. Hut at the same time, it is throw
ing away much more value in another
mineral that cannot be saved with
profit at the present time.
The ore that carries two and a half
per cent copper also carries aluminum :
to the amount of 14 per cent. The gross |
value of the copper at 13 cents is |
$(i.oU; the gross value of the aluminum '
is $84 at 30 cents a pound. Aluminum
is a inetal for which there is a variety
of uses which is steadily increasing
and some day it may be possible to
save it at less cost from such ores ns
are now most valuable for the small
percentage of copper they contain.—

WORK TO BE RESUMED
ON THE APEX PROPERTY
It is reported that work is soon to
be resumed on the Apex property, east
of Goldfield, under the management of
Malcolm MacDonald. This property is
located in what has always been con
sidered a very promising mining sec
tion, and has received considerable de
velopment and attention in the past.
The proposed resumption of work is an
evidence of renewed interst in that
part of the Goldfield district, and may
lead to some important disclosures in a
mining way.

HIGH GRADE SHIPMENTS
GOING OUT OF RAWHIDE
(By William P. De W'olf.)
Rawhide, Nev., June 17.—Shipment?
of high grade ore, each bulking 35 tons,
are being assembled at Fallon from the
Marigold lease on the Coalition estate
and the Urutt Balloon liill lease on the
yueen estate. The ore ia being freight
eel to that point in surli tonnage a*
the eight and ten horse outfits can haul
under stress of sun and sand, and from
there will be billed by rail to sampler
at Hazcu. In addition to the ores go
ing to outside sampler a considerable
tonnage is being transported to the
three milling plants located on the flat
south of the townsite. Kxcellent prog
ress is being made in establishing the
machinery at the plant of the National
Ore Purchasing company, and unless
mishap prevents, the initial run on ore
thereat will be made not later than
July 15.
Having tried out tbe ore reducing
capabilities of tbe rolls of tbe Weiss
mill, (ieneral Manager lieward is now
testing the worth of the stamps of tbe
Murray mill, with tbe intention of in
corporating tbe best features of each
process in tbe plant it is tbe intention
of himself and associates to soon erect
for tbe Bole purpose of reducing tbe
large bodies of milling grade ore block
ed out in the Truett lease workings on
the Coalition. Tbe consignment to tbe
Murray mill bulks 100 tons of ore
which Mr. lieward estimates to have
an average value approximately $d0 a
ton.
Marigold Leases Mill.
The present week the management of
the Marigold lease became a factor in
the local milling colony by taking over
under long term lease the Kuight-Con
lon plant. Three amalgamating pans
are being added to the equipment qnd
other improvements made. Bor the
present none save the lower grade ores
will be reduced thereat, but ultimately
it is the intention to add to the pre
cious metal saving efficiency of the
plant by installing a cyanide process.
Thereafter all the product from the
Marigold will be shipped to the mill.
Thirty tons of ore that General Man
ager Higgs estimates to have a net
value of $10 a ton are treated daily.
He states the dump contains about 400
tons of similar worth. Ore that nets
$200 a ton is also being produced.
Hoisting plants are being installed
this week at the Black Eagle property
in the Hegent section of the camp an 1
at the Coalition Crown lease on the
I Coalition estate. Development at con
siderable depth is to begin on the first
mentioned just us soon as the machin
ery is in commission. The acreage has
an ore showing at surface and nominal
| depth equal with any in that locality
; and has in the past yielded a small
i tonnage of shipping grade ore. The
Coalition Crown lease is situated al
most in the heart of the Coalition
i estate. General Manager Lansing says
that the first level is to be established
at a depth of lot) feet. Crosscuts are
to be run to intersection with the west
extension of the ledge from which very
high grade ore is being mined on the
Grutt Balloon llill lease ou tne tjueeu
estate. The present depth of the shaft
: is f*o feet.
Producing Rich Ore.
The shipment taut General Manager
Looney ol the Grutt -Balloon Hill lease
is assembling at 1 ailon, has an average
value ot 9-o0 a ton. it yas mined >u
the north drift on the 125-foot level
and in the upraise near its heading,
due latter is producing considerable
jure having*a value of from $200 to $5UU
i a ton. The same ledge and shout are
| now being entered on the dso-foot level
I under mineral conditions as satisfac
[ lory as prevail above. An urea of
bachs will, therefore, soou be afforded
extending from that point practically
to surtace. In addition to the high •
grade being shipped, a much larger ton
iia^e or milling grade ore is being
oiucKcd out.
Additional value at ladies to tue
fruett lease ou tlie Coalition by reason
ot tue recent discovery ot nve leet ot
ore having an average value of $17,411
a tou in the crosscut from the tiO-foot
level of the winze sunk in the Uoor ou
the 70-foot level. The depth Irom sur
face is 100 feet. The find is holding
its vaiuos and shows strong mineraliza
tion tnroughout the entire breadth men
tioned. It is unquestionably one of
tue most important and uniformly en
riched ore bodies ever opened in thd
workings, from surface to bottom of i
wiuze—depth of 170 feet —the lease is
an immense cache of ore having a min
imum value of $0 a tou. from tue ex
posure on the 70-foot level the man
agement is extracting and shipping to
the Murray mill 100 tons of ore hav
ing an estimated average value of $U0
a ton.
Will Follow Rich Streak.
Dr. Wheeler and associates of Gold
i field, who recently secured the former
Ugt.vie heynolus lease on the (jueen,
are preparing to develop the some at
depth. Just above the main shaft a
body of high grade ore was encount
| ered at surface some months before the
lease reverted to the l^ueen company

COLONEL EW1NO TALKS OF
MINING CONGRESS BENEFITS
(State Journal.)
Coming ;is the precursor, so to speak,
(' the American Mining Congress whicu
will hold its convention for the first
time in Nevada, during the week com
mencing September 27, 1909, Colonel
fom Ewing, as he is familiarly known,
is at the Kiverside, and yesterday, in
an interview with the Journal repre
sentative, emphasized strongly the im
portance of the congress not oniy to
Coldfield but to the entire state of
Nevada. He believes and shows
grounds for the feeling that the con
gress this year will be one of the most
beneficial factors for good to the state
of Nevada imaginable. While not here
on that mission, he is doing much mis
sionary work that will undoubtedly
arouse the people with whom he has
been held by bonds of sympathy since
the time he campaigned in '64 for Nye ;
and Stewart for United States seua- j
tors.
Colonel Ewing is a noteworthy
character in himself aside from the
fact that he has been for years vice
president of the American Mining con
gri ss and is today one of the nine
mi mbers of its board of directors. To
him in a large measure is due the credit
for bringing the congress to Nevada
this year and that by a unanimous
vote, lie represents California on the
board, George Wingfield of Goldfield
having been given the honor for Ne
vada, but lie is no less an ardent advo
cate of Nevada’s greatness, especially
in mineral resources.
Is a National Affair.
After a few pleasant words express
ive of Ids pleasure in being in Nevada,
and a f< w words about his home in
Denver, Colonel Ewiug said that he
thought more attention should be paid
to the coming congress, and that it
should be regarded as a state affair, and
not merely the local concern of the
town of Coldfield.
“1 nott,” said he, “that the papers
are not taking the matter up very
extensively as yet, but I suppose later
on they will do so. The congress and
its importance should receive enthu
gijstic attention especially in this
state because its coming means much.
“In 1’ittsburg last year, and in Jop
lin the previous year, the congress was
looked forward to with eager expecta
tion and an appreciative interest, tor
it meant much to those cities, but in
Nevada it will mean much more.
“The congress will do more than
almost anything else tiint can be
thought of to advertise in the most
ben. fieial way, the rich resources of
the state, and you must know that
they are not known as they should
be. Nevada has suffered much from
wild eatters of late and the people
have been bitten severely so that in
j some quarters the sentiment is that
the state is principally composed of
wind, and this works a great injustice.
“In the first place the importance
of tlie mining industry in this country
is not comprehended by even the well
informed. It is second, mark you, in
the land. I.ast year the mineral pro- j
duct of the land was $2,283,000,000,
while the agricultural resources are
estimated at $2,325,000,000. K. H. |
liarriman, the railroad magnate, in a
speech recently said that over 50 per
cent of the freight transportation last ,
yi ar was made up of mineral products
and for mines. The president of the
I nited States recently indicated that I
he intended to recommend in his lues j
sage next December that a department
of mines be created and that a secre
tary of mines be appointed as a mem
ber of his cabinet, in the face of this,
don’t you think that Nevada, a mining
state of splendid ancient and modern
record, should realize the importance
of a convention having for its purpose
the furthering and advancement of
mines and mining interests!
Representative Men Coming.
“Besides this,” continued Colonel
Ewing, “there will be about two
thousand of the most representative
men in the country at Goldfield and
in Nevada during convention week.
These men are conservative; represent
stable and constructive forces and
capital and they know enough to see
when they are shown. They have read
glowing circulars and pay little atten
tion to them, but they are willing to
come here, and make a patient explor
ation of the claims of Nevada. They
have read the statistics of precious and
useful metal production, and they
know, that Nevada bids fair to be
the first in production next year. East
year Colorado lead by about $700,000
on a production something like $22,000,
000 of gold. I look for a production in
Nevada next year in excess ol ?2o,
000,000 in gold.”
Colonel Ewing announced that Score
tary Galbraith of the congress would
be in Keno on official business very
soon, and that the official call for the
1 convention would be issued and pub
1 lished in about ten days. He told ol
the interest that has already been
aroused in Nevada, stating that some
150 new members of the organization
. had joined the body.
Nevada Should wake up.
“But what you should uo, ' he said,
“and that means the people all over
the state—is to realize that this is not
merely Goldfield’s party, and that it
is not a junketing expedition. These
men will be here on business —Ne
vada’s business as well as their own —
and it is time for Nevada to realize it.
There should be enthusiasm and e*
! periallv you should select your vert
best orator, the one most informed on I
Nevada’s resources—to tell thoHe peo
ple wlint you have to offer. 1 don T
know who that man is— perhaps you
know. Senator Newlands will doubt
less be there, and he is a good man,
and a great friend of mine —but
whoever talks can do more in a few
minutes than all the writing of a year.
There will be good speakers from
other states, especially Colorado, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Utah and Arizona,
and there will be distinguished men
there. Professor Douglass may come,
ex-Governor Thomas of Colorado will
be there, anu he is a whirlwind, and
possibly John Hays Hammond may be
secured, although he is very busy. So
you see you must have a big man to
tell the story. Your officials will
doubtless say many pleasant and in
structive things, hut some one must be
there with hard facts.
People Look to Papers.
“Start the spirit. The papers are!
much abused, but to them the people
must turn iu u case like this. Let
them spread the gospel, that next Sep
tember and up to then is the time for I
Nevada to put her foot forward iu a
mighty stride of progress. It is, please
remember, the affair of the entire
state. Keao might have had the con
gress for the asking, but now that
Goldfield has it, everyone should make
it a success.’’
Col. Ewing is an old-timer in Ne
vada. He has been through the Com- ;
stock excitement, Gold Hill, Candel
aria and Austiu. He talks in a very
interesting way of “Dick’’ Hammond,
father of John Hays Hammond, in
Ids prospector days. He has reminis
cences of the Nve and Stewart sena
torial campaign, which, by the way, -
. cost him some money, and lie knows J
Mark Twain of old.
| vada,’’ said he in conclusion, “to
j make an effort to elect a permanent
j member on the board of directors. 8he
j is entitled to it and there are three
new members to be elected, beside <
'one vacancy to be filled.’’
And so the message was given even
as a “voice crying in the wilderness. ’
Col. Ewing will return to Denver in
a few days.
