owner of the Lucky Strike, the first location, is getting high assays from a depth of eighty feet and has fifteen tons on the dump waiting to complete a minimum carload shipment to Salt Lake. The ore cannot be treated by cyanidation as it carries eight per cent copper and is accepted by the smelter for a treatment charge of $2.50 per ton. The freight rate is $4.20 and the truck haul to Tonopah is three dollars, making a total charge of $9.70, the lowest yet quoted in this territory. This morning the Wilkerson forces fused with the Kendal-Springer lease operating on a tribute block of the Lucky Strike and a double shift Is now working on the latter. The intention Is to sink to two hundred feet and then drift over to the Wilkerson shaft and raise for a connection.

This will give both operators the benefit of crosscuttlng the lower structure and materially reduce costs of operation and exploration. The Wilkerson shaft is without surface equipment while the Kendall-Springer has a gallows frame, gas hoist and compressor. This will enable them to make four feet a day working sixteen hours. MINA, Mar. 24.

(Special) Saturday L. B. Spencer and son made a survey of several claims at the Warrior mine for McNamara Costa. A car of ore is being hauled to Mina for shipment at the present time. The mine has been a steady producer for the past two years and highgrade has been struck on the two hundred-foot level.

It is reported that negotiations are under way with a large Eastern concern and that the stock will be listed on the New York mining exchange In a short time. Mr. Spencer reports that the mine looks good and that they have several large blocks of mill grade ore blocked out.

from Which rich ore is being extracted and sacked. All day long E. M. Dawes, manager of the Gold Mines, which pur-chaAed the property, and Sam Wat-kins, his superlnendent. were busy showing people down the shaft and making pannings for them.

ORE RUNNING HIGH These pannings, from the highgrade streak, were variously estimated at from S250 a ton to $400 or even better by different people. The shaft Is now down more than twenty feet and the highgrade nodules are beginning to rake out of the shaft to the south, but the rich streak remains. It was reported yesterday that Sunday evening a big bunch of the nodules, like those which caused the initial excite- Coincident with the present activ ity in the Winnemucca district, new discoveries are being made by the Nevada Consolidated Mining Company at Barrett Springs, twelve miles northwest of Winnemucca, it is re ported by the Humboldt Star. The Nevada Consolidated, under the direction of Abb Rogers, engineer, and stockholder in the company, have ben working for the past year doing development work on the 1910 shaft at Barrett Springs and on several new veins opened by the company. Assay returns on samples taken from various strikes show ore averaging from $5 to $59 per ton in gold and silver.

Ore assaying $59.12 and I containing highgrade, has been taken from the east side of the 1910 shaft on the eighty-foot level. It contains 131 ounces in silver and the rest in gold. Tie assay figure p'aced silver at thirty cents per ounce in figuring the total value of the ore. A new gold and silver bearing vein has been discovered sixty feet from the mouth of the 1910 shaft along an old path over which miners tramped day in and day out years ago when the 1910 shafe was sunk. A power hoist and hoist house and numerous other improvements have been made on the property, the hoist having been in operation all '-inter.

The company is not shipping ore pending arrangements for installation of a mill on the ground. SMITH IN FROM BRL'CITE R. L.

Due to the fact that a large percentage of the deaths caused from spotted fever have occurred among Humboldt county residents, the fever germ carried by ticks in this region is said to be unusually virile. Physicians advise the use of spotted fever vaccine which is prepared by the Hamilton, laboratories and which Is said to be highly effective both in preventing the disease and in curing it, providing the vaccine is administered soon after a person is bitten by a All ticks do not. carry the fever germ, it is learned, or at least all persons having been bitten, do not fall 111 with the fever. Those working among sheep or cattle or having occupations which carry them into the hills, are advised to be vaccinated. The results of vaccinations are said to be.

In the ordinary cases, only local symptoms of swelling, redness and itching. Occasional Instances of rash, headache and slight fever have resulted in vaccination which are not serious in nature. Doctors advise that even should such symptoms appear, they are more desirable than the fatal illness which results in many cases of tick fever. The vaccine. Is distributed free to physicians who make a minor charge for administering it.

HAS BIG JOB Andy Stinson, state mining engineer, was In Reno Sunday and said he was making preparations to oversee the work on the big tunnels to be under way soon at the Boulder dam. a Job that was delegated to him by the legislature, and which will cover a long period of time and will be more or less complicated on account of the fact that the work will be done on the Arizona side as well as in Nevada. ers' shaft the only assay ever made on on the property was had and it went $39 gold and $3 sliver.

(Special) Some specimens of highgrade gold ore were shown in town today by O. J. Bellville of Mina. They were taken from his claim In Telephone canyon of the Pilot range. Gold was plainly visible to the naked eye and it is estimated that it will run about $12,000 a ton.

Mr. Belville has several claims in hub tauyuii ana iasi iau snipped $14,000 worth of enirt nn Th TJ'" has filled four sacks with it in the last two days. He says that he plans to mine a ton or so for express ship-, ment to the smelter. This property has disclosed some wonderful showings of gold ore and from the looks cf things will be a big producer. Mr.

Bellville has done a lot of development work on the property. There are three highgrade streaks that have shown up in the development work with the prospect that more will be cut by the tunnel that he is running the present time. It is understood that Mr. Bellville has had two offers for the property but does not care to sell. Mining engineers say that this looks like one of the richest gold producers that has been discovered in Nevada in a long time.

From the formation of the ground it looks as if there Is a very large orebody yet to be developed-and that there will be a large amount of mill grade ore. CLEAlTtlER AT GOLD HILL TONOPAH, Mar. 24. (Special). Gold Hill Development Company reports $11,000 production in gold for the first half of March, notwithstanding the company lost thirty-six hours through trouble with the tube mill.

This approximates normal when the production should be around $22,000 or $25,000. The shipment for the second half of April after improvements were Installed was worth WALKER MINERS HERE J. H. Cooper and H. A.

Detroit ffhe is Speed Rare LOW GRADE PROFITABLY The Bradley Interests are noted for their efficiency In the handling of ores of low grade and making a profit and this is well-illustrated in the annual report of the Alaska Juneau mine. In which President Fred W.

The profit and loss account shows productions from gold silver lead total gross Income from metals, $3,551,950.03 less operating and marketing costs $2,289,356.14. Gross operating, profit for 1930, The average gold assay taken from the north orebody on the main haulage level, from an area 850 feet long by 450 feet wide is this orebody is known to continue westerly an additional one thousand to the 1543 crosscut, where the average gold as- say value over one hundred feet of width is $2.23 per ton.

Work done dur- ing the year 1930 and to date this tically below the main haulage level. The gold assay value of all samples taken from this winze and work done from the winze has averaged $3.20. Regarding the amount of powder used the report states that "there were forty-three powder drift blasts during the year using 281,800 pounds of powder, in addition bull-dozing consumed 1,182,201 pounds, making a total powder consumption of .37 pounds per ton trammed. The milling department report says: "The figures for mill performance during 1930 are about the same as those for the preceding year; however, costs per ton milled are somewhat lower in 1930. "There was a decided increase In the available labor supply during the year.

An average oi tzu men were employed. The table of operating costs is very interesting. It shows that during the year 3,924,460 tons of rock were trammed of which 2,066,239 tons were ore yielding $1.20 a ton in gold and forty-two cents in galena concentrates and 1,858,221 tons of coarse tailings rejected. Counting the cost of handling the rejects the net shows production of .9050 a ton; costs .6227 a ton, leaving a net of .2781 cents a ton. That small profits are not to be despised is evidenced from the fact that at .2781 cents a ton the Alaska Juneau shows a net profit of $1,091,733.28 for 1930.

While the price trend during the past four years has been downward, there was a decided upward movement during the year in some sections of the country, notably in the East and on the Pacific coast.

The average rise was approximately fifteen per cent over 1929 prices, although many individual producers reported prices the same as in 1929. Rises of from thirty to seventy per cent were locally reported on fibered hardwall plaster. Prices are generally expected to remain at their present level during 1931. The industry is hopeful that 1931 will see the be ginning of a new cycle or nuucung, public works accounting for the larger 'part during the first half of the year. probably followed by a sharp upturn in all construction by the middle of thj year.

There were very few major developments in the gypsum industry during the year. With regard to primary producers, no new plants were built or contemplated. The United States Gypsum Company closed and dismantled its plant at Arden, henceforth it will supply the Southern and Central California market from its plant at Midland, Cal. One western producer of finished gypsum products, the Gypsum Products Corporation, a subsidiary of the Schumacher Wall Board Company, of Los Angeles, completed a new wall board plant at Seattle; this company, however, does not calcine its plaster buff purchases its requirements from producers. The Canadian gypsum industry suffered less from the general business slump did that in the United States, production of crude gypsum decreasing approximately twelve per cent as compared with 1929.

A sustaining factor was the export activity of the Gypsum, Lime and Alabastine, Canada, whose products are shipped in large quantities to Europe, South America and Australia. During the year the Western Gypsum Products, completed a two kettle calcining plant near Winnipeg, Manitoba, and also a wall board plant capable of producing eighty thousand feet of board a day. This company secures its crude gyp sum from Amaranth, Manitoba, on the southwestern end of Lake Manitoba, where its proved reserves are reported already to amount to nine million tons. Officials of the Mina Mercury Company stated this week that the Southern Mines, Inc. operating the Mina Mercury mine eleven miles northeast of Mina, had forfeited bond and lease and the property has revert' ed to the original owners, the Haw thorne News says.

Under the bond and lease, the Southern Mines Com' pany was required to perform ninety shifts per month in development work. For the past three months the mine has been idle, but under special agreement the property was not to be declared vacant until yesterday. However, three days ago, word was received that no effort would be made to hold the bond and lease. Expenditures by the Southern Mines completed an up-to-date plant consisting of a twenty-five ton iurn- ace, large air compressor, and other mine equipment as well as a complete camp. It has been estimated that $45,000 was expended in remodeling facilities and development of the mine.

Several shipments of quicksilver were made last fall. Over has been produced from the mine. The Mina Mercury company does not intend to operate the plant, but will negotiate with other interests with sufficient backing to acquire the property, which consists of ten claims in a natural cinnabar belt.

KIDDLE LIKES CAMP Howard Riddle of Reno, spent Sunday in the district and took a Mum-ber of pannings from the shaft, all of which ran high he said. He also visited the leases on the Wild Animal, owned by the Scossa Gold Mines, and said that excellent ore was showing in the Governor Balzar and Gill-son-Bettles leases. He said also that there were good showings on the Overhang and at several other claims visited.

He expects to become Interested In the district. George Keough, who, with his associates, controls the two forties Joining the discovery group on the south, said that ohn Nones, after getting down to bedrock In a trench eleven feet deep, had sunk several feet in the vein, and was getting pannings running thirty dollars a ton or better, according to estimates. A tunnel Is to be started on the showing. DRIFTING ON ORE On the Noble-Olson property a drift has been started north from the bottom of the fifty-foot shaft In ore of an excellent grade, Keough stated. Guy Ludwick who has been following a small stringer down In his lease on the Gold Source claim, near the townslte, is now getting excellent pannings and the ore has widened to cloee to a foot, it was reported last night by James Garnier, who was Just in from the district.

LOVELOCK. Mar. 24. (Special) The Scossa district continues to grow, the streets of the town are being graded and it Is taking on the air of a real mining camp. Several prominent mining men have invested in the district recently.

A promising strike was made on the Mary group of Neff Adamson and James J. Garnier, which property sidelines Earl Laughton's "Pathfinder" and end lines Ed Bevis' property. On the "Wild Animal claim of the Scossa Gold Mines, adjoining the original strike ground William States, Phil Gllson and E.

A. Bettles. are getting better showings as they extend their development work. E. M.

Dawes of the Dawes Gold Mines Company opened up the high grade shaft on Tuesday and hacr on Sunday twenty-two sacks of high-grade by the side of the shaft, while the milling ore is being thrown on the dump and will average $30 a ton. It Is estimated and the management stated they had sacked one hundred pounds of specially rich highgrade In addition to the twenty-two sacks that are valued at $2000. They are running a short drift into the footwafl following a slight dip In the formation, to the south. Dawes, assisted by his superintendent. Sam Watklns Is handling the highgrade by themselves.

The Noble brothers, who are operating around the brow of the hill from t-ie Scossa shaft have the most development work done In the district. They have put their shaft down fifty feet and now are drifting north on the vein. They are in about twenty feet and have about fifteen feet to go to reach the dyke which is the same one that runs through the Scossa ground northwest to southeast.
