The use to which it Vil be put was not announcConstruction Comore diamond drillpanys ing project has been successful and the company is now in position to ship high grade ore the most economically in its experience. Dodge iron Ten holes were sunk 120 feet deep, according to Frank Dunn, superintendent. Every one of them showed high grade iron ore at depth and one was in solid ore from top to bottom. Er- nie Maupin, general manager of Fallon, came to Lovelock to confer about operations Friday. Construction Co. is considered in good position to get a contract with Japanese in- terests because of the high grade of its ore. Strong competition is being experienced with Seattle shippers who can deliver the ore to ships several dollars cheaper. Where Dodge comes in is that the Seattle ore is under grade and the rich Lovelock ore is needed to raise its' grade. Confidence that Dodge will get first consideration on a new contract is based on experience the Japanese have had with their shipments. Of the 275,000 tons shipped on past contracts, there was only one penalty. In contrast, a number of bonuses were paid running as high as 59000 per shipload. Mr. Dunn reports that under new conditions, ore can mined cleaner with less trouble. Troublesome horses (intrusion of non-iro- n ore) in the main body will be missing, it is believed as a result of the drilling program. Open pit mining will be able to take most of the material loosened by deep blasting without selective mining. Regarding shipments' of ore to Central West smelters.
