This ledge la the widest In the mine. From wall to wail the vein is typical of the United Eastern, with streaks of high grade that are nothing less than re- Officially no assay has been given It la learned from one In authority that the ore Is richer on the 666-foot level than in the upper levels. On tho 665-foot level, average values obtained ran $30 per ton in gold. With the opening of the new vein and securing of higher values the United Eastern ore in eight la estimated at $16,000,000. The company is now drifting on the The disclosure of this ore body on the new level has greatly stimulated the Interest In camp and the rush Is greater than ever.

MANY NEW ARRIVALS. New arrivals number seventy-five a day. Oatman now has a population of close to 4000 people. There are four hotels, twenty restaurants, fifty rooming houses, two picture shows, and ten brokerage offices, and the main street is crowded with people day and night Two hundred auto stages and trucks, are constantly on the go. Building material is arriving hourly.

The latest notable arrival was Charles S. Sprague, president of Jumbo Extension of Goldfleld. It Is reported that he will consolidate the Merrltt group he ercently secured, with the Dome Mining Company and Yankee and will for ma company to be known as Oatman United Mining Company.

MINING SCHEME HELD UP. Ranchers Oppose Furnishing Extra Water Supply for Project. SPECIAL COMIKSPONDKNCE. PORTER VILLE, Feb. 12.

Plans of Senator Fred Colter of Colter, for the development of a huge hydraulic mining acheme on the Carver property, near White River, and for which, surveys and preliminary filings on water had been made, have engendered active opposition on the part of ranchers of this district, and according to those Interested in the project the plans probably cannot now be carried out Mr. Colter took an Interest with 3on Marshall, an pld prospector, who uncovered the pay dirt, and a lease was made with a clause guaranteeing Mr. Carver a royalty of $30,000 for the first year, on a yardage basis. Filings were made on flood waters from White River and surveys completed for a pipe line. Ranchers of the White River district Indicated their willingness to allow the diverting of the flood water.

Study of the situation showed, however, that water, additional to that during flood period, would be needed, but thus far attempts to secure releases either by purchase or gift have proved unavailing. INTEREST IN OLD MINK SPECIAL C0KHE8P0NDENCB.1 RIVERSIDE, Feb. 12. Representatives of the El Sobrante Land Company have been over the property on which is located the old Temescal tin mines the past week, with a view to reopening the property. In the party were F.

W. itemy, a mining engineer, and T. J. Benk.en.doi both of Los Angeles. The mines were first discovered by white men In 1S67.

The property was In litigation until 1888. when It was taken over by an English syndicate. Active operations were started In 1890. Because of extravagant man-1 agement the project failed, but it is said that $50,000 worth, of tin was taken from the mines. REVIVE FAMOUS MINE.

Feb. 11 The time is fast approaching when, the, flotation process will be in operation In Goldfleld on, a commercial scale, and the influence of its introduction into this district upon the future of mining here will be determined. The two plant3 under construction will afford a most thorough test of the efficacy of the process in the treatment of Goldfleld ores, as in one case tnat or the Goldfleld Consolidated Mines Company the fifty-ton unit now nearmg completion is designed to treat experimentally ores from all parts of the district while the 160-ton plant on the Florence will be called upon to handle a product that varies greatly in character and con-tent It is a well-established fact that the mines of the Goldfleld district contain a vast tonnage of low and medium-grade ore tor the successful treatment of which there have been no facilities in the past, since the presence of copper In this ore has precluded its treatment in an economical manner with the present commercial processes.

The flotation process Is designed to overcome the difficulties encountered in the treatment of base ores and the exhaustive tests that have been made with such ores from various points in the Goldfleld district have convinced experts and metallurgists that the process will prove entirely successful here. Wihile the recent severe storms have caused some delay in the delivery of cars for the shipment of ore, there has been no damage to property and no interruption to underground operations. The mines are in excellent condition and at a number of points the development work appears to be nearlng the point where Important results may reasonably be expected. Tho increase in the price of cop per is having a beneficial effect on the producing companies of the district, as all the shipping ore contains a large proportion of copper and the copper-bearing ore coming in is con stantly Increasing in volume with de velopment on deep levels. GOLDFIELD CONSOLIDATED.

The Consolidated mill is treating the usual large tonnage of ore. av eraging in December approximately 1150 tons daily. The December re port shows that some ore of exceedingly good grade Is being mined in the Red Top claim, at a point 700 feet north of the old Red Top shaft and on the 260-foot level. At one point here the drift on the main level produced 256 tons of ore averaging $118.27 per ton. The extent of this rich ore has not yet been determined, but this territory will be explored on othe.r levels to seek the extension of this ore-shoot The initial fifty-ton unit of the company's flotation plant, equipment for which is being installed in the mill structure, will be In operation before March 1, according to tho manage ment JUMBO EXTENSION.

Shipments continue at the rate of over 100 tons daily, but were several carloads short In January, by reason of the heavy storm and snow, which interfered with the delivery of the railroad cars for shipping to the sampler. Tho mine is in excellent condition throughout, with more ore of good grade in sight than at any time in the past, and connecting levels are being driven, which will greatly facilitate the extraction of the rich ore and will effect important economies, while Increasing the production. Secretary Ben Gill has prepared figures on production In 1915, which are of particular interest in showing the large quantity of copper produced. The total output for the year shipped to the Western Ore Purchasing Company's sampler, was 22,561 dry tons, which yielded 30,480 ounces of fine gold, 99,459 ounces silver and 1,259,388 pounds of copper. The company Is now receiving for its copper approximately double the price realized in 1915.

OTHER PROPERTIES. Interest has been aroused here by the announcement that the Silver Pick Company has purchased and will soon put In operation a Davis Caiex drill, which will produce a six-inch core and will have a sinking capacity of 1200 feet or more. This drill will be started within the next two or three weeks and will be sent to great depth, probably working from the 700-foot level of the mine. The most Important discovery In the history of the Atlanta company's operations has Just been reported by Manager A. d'Arcy.

The main stope on the 1580-foot level is now showing a face of ore four and one-half feet wide, averaging $158 per ton. At other points in the mine, on the 1580, 1620 and 1760-foot levels, there has been a notable Improvement of late. At the present price of copper there Is much ore in the Atlanta that can be shipped profitably which could not be handled when shipping was begun and when copper was worth only about 14 cents per pound. The volume of shipments will be Increased shortly. The first of a series of raises, designed to reach and explore the shale contact cone, la now being driven from the north cross-out on the 1175-foot level and is now in the latlte, at a height of about fifty feet, having passed out of the shale.

No indications of ore have been found here as yet and It Is believed that the work must be carried farther to the north. It la apparent, however, that the eastern continuation of the rich Jumbo Extension ore-chsnnel will be found by this work, In Merger territory, within 200 or 800 feet of the present face of the cross-cut The tross-cut Is progressing on a line parallel with the east side-line of the adjoining Velvet claim of the Jumbo Extension.

Feb. 12. When he left Lindsay last April, S. F. Coolldge tried to trade his Interest In the Blue i Crystal magneslte mine to his partner for a shotgun and a pair of fishing rods, but the latter would not trade.

Last week Mr. Cooltdge sold out his share of the property to J. Sundln and associates of San Francisco for $16,000 cash. The partner, who refused to trade, now holds his half of the property on a royalty basis. War prices In magneslte, cauned by tho shutting off of the Greek and Australian supply, caused the price of the mineral to Jump from $7.50 a ton In New York to $22.50.

Main tieo, Horns AGAIN PROSPEROUS. Ending of Strike Brings Renewal of Life to Gleason.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. 1 COURTLAND (Ariz.) Feb. 12. The end of the strike In Greenlee county has brought prosperity to Gleason, which was practically a dead camp wnue the industrial straggle was In progress. The Arizona and Shannon Copper Company's smelters are supplied with fluxing ores from Gleason and while those plants were idle there was little doing In the mining line here.

Gleason's principal mine is the Copper Belle, a subsidiary of the Shannon. It is again employing several hundred men who took no part In the Greenlee strike, but were thrown out or work thereby. A steam hoist has been installed at the Maid of Sunshine shaft of the Leadville Mining Company, in Court land, and sixteen men are now em ployed there. Daily shipments of ore are being made by the Leadville com pany to Douglas. Much of the Lead vllle ground Is worked by leasers and four new leases were signed last week One calls for work on the 800-foot level of the Silverton shaft.

The heavy rains have delayed mln lng operations in several Southern Arizona mining camps. The dumps at the Leadville were covered deep with snow. Washouts on the South ern Pacific caused a shortage of fuel oil at I'earce and the mine and mill of the Commonwealth company were shut down several days. Redding. EXPLORATION GETS RESULTS.

11. The Globe Consolidated mine at Dedrlck, in which many Los Angeles people are Interested, is now being operated by the Globe Consolidated Lease, Incorporated, a company controlled by i ha Crown Reserve company 01 Cobalt, Can. The twenty-stamp mill is running steadily and treating 125 tons of ore dally, the product averaging $9 per ton In gold. Extensive exploration work Is proceeding, and large quantities of good grade ore have been recently opened In virgin ground. All this work is carried on through tunnels, making mining costs comparatively low.

Under the arrangement now in force the Crown Reserve will receive a large royalty from net proceeds, and the balance will go to stockholders of the original Globe Consolidated Company. The Mammoth Copper Company last week increased its already vast holdings in the Shasta copper Held by acquiring the mineral rights of the Kennett Water Company for $75,000. The area adjoins the Mammoth group and is known to contain valuable ore deposits. It was reported last weeki that the company was contemplating an increase In the wage scale, dui mis wna denied by the management, vv nn thr furnaces operating a full ca paclty on copper ore, and heavy zinc shipments going rorward, the company Is recording one of the most prolltabie years in us niemura.ui uw a ehoot of rich ore has been inter sected in the Midas mine, at Harrison Gulch, according to late advices from the nroDerty. The quarts is said, to compare favorably with some of.

the best ever taken from the mine. Developments in the main workings of the Midas and Gold Hill mines continue to reveal ore of good milling character, and the mill Is running steadily. As soon as winter passes new units will be added to the milling plant and production increased. The property Is owned by the Victor Power and Development Company, in which numerous Southern California people are Interested. The Hope Mining Company has been given full title to the noted Landecker mine, near Placervllle, following a brief legal struggle In the courts of El Dorado county.

The Landecker Is one of the most noted of Mother Lode producers, and will now be extensively operated. It has been worked Intermittently pf late, largely because of lack of capital by former ownora. The Hope Mining Company numbers Southern Callfor-nians among Its stockholders. The Monarch consolidated at Sierra City Is making an exceptionally fine ore showing, particularly on the 200 level, where the vein shows a con sistent width of seven feet It has been opened by the west drift for over 200 feet and consists of good grade quarts the entire distance. Plans have been made to sink the shaft to the 400-foot point, and a main working tunnel win also be driven to pick up the ore bodies at considerable depth.

At the Cleveland mine, controlled by the Monarch Consolidated Company, the shaft has been carried past the 850-foot point, and Is still going down. DEAL IS THE CARDS. It Is reported negotiations are pend ing for the sale of the Clio mine, near Jacksonville, to a strong corporation of Los Angeles, San Francisco and eastern people. It is owned by the Ora Mining Company, composed of Los Angeles and Ban Francisco residents, and lies near the Republican, which is developing Into a splendid producer. The Clio has been devel oped by an 800-foot tunnel and 400- foot shaft and is equipped with a good ten-stamp mill.

Considerable ore of milling character la exposed. A bonanza ore discovery is reported from the Seaman property, near Railroad Flat, by George Buyck and associates. The shoot Is two feet wide and assays1 $1000 in gold per ton. It Is apparently developing Into a strong vein. The present operators took over the mine after another company had vainly explored the ground, and within a few feet struck the bonanza rock.

The Calaveras Copper Company is preparing to refinance the corporation that Its equity In the property may be preserved without assessments being levied. It 1 proposed to extend the indebtedness, amounting to until obligations have been liquidated by earnings, the bonds and notes to bear 6 per cent Interest.

Quality of New Find Ranks it with Best in Property. Ohioans to Operate the West Tonopah Holding. Influence of Higher Copper is Felt at Goldfleld. SPECIAL COKIIKSP0NDENCE.1 TONOPAH (Nev.) Feb. 12.

Above the 800-foot sill the Belmont Mining Company has developed a body of ore that ranks with the best In the history of the mine. Less than "a month ago a raise was started from the 800- foot level in a drift which had been following a narrow streak of very good ore. Each week the conditions Improved until now operations in the raise have reached a height of 106 feet with a consistent Improvement all the way up to the present point where the ore body has widened out to four feet, averaging better than the best grade In the mine. Other sections of the property maintain their former values and magnitude and the tonnage sent to the mill Is kept up to an average of 300 a week. Broad intimations are heard that the Sand Grass claim of the Tonopah Mining Company is developing as rich as any of the older parts of the group and It is said that this western ad junct has uncovered ore body as large and profitable as any in the ad joining claims of the Tonopah Exten- tion, Merger or West End, which found their best ore in the immediate vicinity.

The company continues to draw its greatest tonnage from the Valley View, Silver Top and Red Plume, where there Is blocked out an enormous tonnage that can be relied on to keep up the present standard of output During the past week 1748 tons were treated, with a slight improvement in the average values, which ran at tho rate of $15 per ton. EXTENSION EARNINGS. Tonopah Extension reports net earnings for December amounting to $57,291, which was somewhat lower than the net of the preceding months. For the latter half of January the bullion shipments amounted to forty-seven bars of bullion weighing 68,065 ounces, valued at $68,645. The company also sent out thirty tons of concentrates worth $350 a ton or $10,600, making the gross production for the second half of the month $79,145.

With the addition of ten stamps al ready ordered and the possibility of twenty more, the raising of the heads from $14 to $19 and the treatment of 600 tons dally Instead the present 350 It Is predicted that the stock of this company will reach the $8 mark before the close of the year, with a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share. The latest candidate for honors In this territory Is the West TonoDah's group of six claims situated south and west of the lower end of the Exten sion holdings. Ohio capitalists have arranged to begin work and a full equipment of machinery will be installed in the course of the next few weeks. This makes the third property to start operations in this section since the first of the year. A pay streak has been developed in the Gypsy Queen at a point 247 feet from the shaft on the 1350 level, where a winze has been started In good formation.

The vein is about three feet wide with the pay streak varying from eight to eighteen inches. The final clean-UD of the West End mill for the second half of January yielded thirty-two bars of bullion, weighing 49,930 ounces and having an value of $34,951. On the 600-level the faulted segment of the vein was picked up, showing a width of five feet Yleldlntr srood assav values. This working has been advanced only sixteen reet Dut the progress showed no material lessening of values or size. ROCHESTER CAMP.

Earnings of Rochester Mines Company for the latter half of January reached $17,000, representing nine days actual operations, owing to the furious snowstorm which interrupted an transportation, both on the main line and the branch road, feeding the mill. The bullion production ran at me rate or sin 5 5 a day and an ex traction of $15.65 a ton was registered. UNCOVER ORE BODY. A body of ore averaging around $16 per ton and containing some copper has lately been exposed on the 840- foot level of the Kewanas, In driving a cross-cut to the west from the main north drift at a distance of nearly 500 feet north of the main working station. For nearly 400 feet the north drift has continued to expose ore of varying grade and the greater part of this ore Is suitable for treat ment by flotation, while some of the ore can be shipped profitably.

The drift has exposed the shale and will be continued along the contact The Florence Goldfleld Company has begun development at two new points where there Is reason to believe that ore of good grade will be found. On the 260-foot level, in the northern part of the Florence claim, the ground near the old itopea of the ftellly lease is being explored, while on the 630-foot level, south of the main shaft, the work Is extending to the west from the old workings of the rich Rogers lease. The 160-ton flotation plant, being built to treat the Florence dumps under lease, Is fast nearlng completion and will be in operation this month. Great Bend Is developing In a comprehensive manner and has exposed some quarts of excellent appearance and yielding low assays in gold, at a depth of 400 feet. Sandstorm-Kendall Consolidated Is driving east and west on the 700-foot level and hna cut a small vein lately.

Goldfleld Oro has repaired all timbering and everything is In readiness for the resumption of development on the 700 and 800 levels Simmerone continues development work and has some good ore In eight Spearhead Is making good progress In sinking to the shale contact The Cracker Jack Company is preparing for the thorough and systematic development of Its ground, Including that recently acquired and formcrlv owned by the Adams company.
