Show NATIONAL TREASURE TO BEGIN OPERATIONS Erstwhile Producer of Fabulous Wealth Shows Continuation of Old Veins. With a force of men and a quantity of supplies. President J. G. McAllister of the National Treasure Mines company com-pany left during the week for National, Nevada, to resume work on the company com-pany 's holdings. Considerable . work has been done on the property and some promising chutes opened up,'.but operations opera-tions were suspended about the first of the year. More than $15,000 has been spent on the property, chiefly in driving a tunnel tun-nel 3200 feet long. Professor J. H. Weber of Salt Lake recently made an inspection of the property and expressed the opinion that the work had been done m the wrong direction. He made recommendations as to future development, develop-ment, which will be followed. The long tunuel, Mr. Weber reported, had been run under the mistaken idea that the veins run north and south and that on the end lines of the old National Na-tional mine a continuation of the extraordinarily ex-traordinarily rich gold-silver chute would be found. Professor Weber reported re-ported that there were three places in the property where ore had been disclosed dis-closed which carried values of $40 to $60 a pound and predicted that if his recommendations were carried out that a large body of high-grade ore would be encountered within ninety days from the time work was begun. The old National mine was one of the producers of fabulous wealth in Nevada and is estimated to have produced pro-duced in the ueighborhood of $27,000,-000 $27,000,-000 in gold and silver. The management manage-ment of the National Treasure is confident con-fident that the property carries the continuation of the rich veins of the old National and plans a vigorous campaign of development. President McAllister expects to devote practically all his time to the supervision of the work to be undertaken. |
