Each team averages four and a half tons to the load, and a round trip ia made every fvo days. The cost of developing snd equipping the Miami Copper companys property has been approximately $4.-- 1 not Including some expenditures charged to operations since native production began. The production of garnets In 1911 showed an Increase of 106 tons In quantity and 16.o52 In value compared g with J9I1. The three states are New York, New Hampshire and North Carolina There was shipped from the property of the Bullion Coalition Mines conn pany at Stockton, Utah, In May a total of 720 tons of ore. This ore aw eraged near $22 a ton, or a total production in May of $18,750. , The report that the t level has a company on ita fine body of rich copper-slive- r ore within the Gipey property Is confirmed, the crosscut having gede for eight feet without bringing the second wall to view. Alder creek was the longest snd most productive creek ever discovered in Montana; twenty miles of stream bed, comprising about 1,000 claims, were worked and yielded a profit at a time when wages were from $10 to $14 a day. According to the Ely Expositor, the management of the Nevada Consolidated company is making preparations to begin mining the Ruth ore by way of the Star Pointer shaft, whlcfi shaft was driven about six years ago for this purpose The Tonopah Belmout mill management, in cleaning up for the second time In the month of May, produced 6,443 pounds of silver and gold bullion, the estimated value of which was close to $72,000. x There were forty-sevebars In the lot. Last Chance, on the present site of Helena, the capital of Montana, was located in the summer of 1864. The Wltiatch-Unlovein, carrying rich gold ore, was found a few miles south of Helena in September of the same year. Lode and placer discovery were thus contemporaneous. Station sets have been Installed at level of the main or the 1,750-foSL Ives shaft of the Goldfield Merger Mines company and sinking is still in progress, to continue to a depth of 1,800 feet,- in order to provide a sump of ample capacity, says the Goldfield Tribune..,., The production last week in the Tonopah district measured 12,257 tons, with an estimated value of $264,970, as compared with 11,114 tons of ore the previous week, with an estimated value of $245,050.
