Show AROUND THE MINES 'P 1 1 ii 1 1 : 1 1 1 mines the past week sent to mill NT.'il Ions of ore valued at $1-1S,- S'line seiisniiiiniil rich gold and silver sil-ver ore is now coming from the property prop-erty of the New Tusi-ai'ura Mining company, located in the Tuscarora mining district, about fifty miles north of Elko, Nov. American Smelting & Itefining company com-pany for the six months ended June 3d last earned .:1.18 a share on the common com-mon stock. This compares with $12. 4(5 a share earned during the corresponding correspond-ing period leist year. Word from I'ioclie is that the big storm which raged over southern Nevada Ne-vada a few days ago carried off the 80-gullon fuel oil tank of the Prince Consolidated, washing it down the. canyon to its destruction. Official information from the Nevada-Douglas Consolidated is that in the first week in September the shipments ship-ments to the Mason Valley smelter amounted to 1430 tons. The ore averaged aver-aged 3.15 per cent copper. The Anaconda Copper Mining company, com-pany, at its meeting held in New York, declared a quarterly dividend of $2 per share. As there are 2,311,250 shares of stock outstanding, this action ac-tion means the distribution of $4,622,-500. $4,622,-500. Within a few days the entire electrically-driven surface equipment of the Tonopah Divide mine will have been installed and mining operations will then be conducted on a far more extensive scale than m the past, says the Go'.dfield Tribune. From Denver comes word that the Midwest Oil company has declared the usual quarterly dividend of 2 per cent on the preferred stock. It will be paid on October 2 to stock of record October Oc-tober 1. No action was taken on the common stock dividend. That the Hinman Mining company, operating' about six miles out of Gold Hill, in the Clifton mining district ol Utah, is starting in the right way to open at depth a proved ore body in its ground is made evident by the latest reports of developments there. ' According to the Review-Miner of Lovelock, Nev., the supreme court has handed down an important mining decision de-cision in the case of Moore i Young vs. the Rochester Mines company, in which the decision of the lower court in favor of the plaintiffs was reversed. re-versed. It is understood that representatives of the Anaconda Copper company and other leading copper men have been to Washington and worked over with the government officials a new copper price to 'date from November 1. The final decision will be reached October Octo-ber 15. ij Settlement was made last week for a car of high grade silver-copper ore recently shipped by the Tintic Standard Stan-dard Mining company. The figures show that the shipment nets, after the payment of all smelter, transportation, working charges and war tax, a little better than $14,000. Ore measuring about one and a half feet in width is now showing in the face of the main tunnel of the Colum-bus-Rexall, is the word General Manager Man-ager Evans brings down from Alta. This is the characteristic copper-iron sulphide which has been found in most of the workings in this main block of productive ground. ' A special from Seattle, Wash., says word from Dawson Is that the stationary station-ary price of gold and the high cost of mining material, food, etc., have caused a sudden exodus of miners and their families from the Yukon and Alaska districts. The general exodus has caused a drop of 50 per cent in the output of gold in Alnskan camps. A report issued by the Rochester Mines company states that a large body of high grade milling ore has been opened as a result of recent development, de-velopment, work. The new discovery was made at a depth of 100 feet in block Four, or the old Hunter lease block. Good grade ore also has been opened on the 250-foot level, under where it was found at a point under the ore on the 100-foot level. According to correspondence from Butte, the remarkable run of high-grade high-grade ore at the Colorado mine of the Davis-Daly Copper company continues, the copper content easily outstripping that from any other mine in Butte. With few exceptions for the past two weeks the output has averaged daily two carloads' of first-class ore and two cars of high grade. That the Tope Shenon Mining, company, com-pany, with large holdings in the region just out of Salmon City, Idaho, is getting get-ting on its' feet in a very substantial way is indicated by two concrete evidences evi-dences the shipment of high-grade ore from the property and the progress that is being made in securing a plant to treat the ore that is not of a grade to warrant shipping at a good margin of profit. Many mines in the .Toplin, Mo., district dis-trict have been forced to close because of the low prices offered for the ore by smelting companies. Shipment of ore from the mines of Tintic last week totaled 150 carloads. These are estimated at an .aggregate of 7500 tons and valued at $200,000. This Is compared with a total the previous pre-vious week of 154 cars and 153 the nook before that. Coal mine workers and operators ; mooting at Uniontown, Pa., wore told j by P. 1!. Noyes, director of eonsorva-j eonsorva-j (ion of the fuel administration, that ! the more coal they mined between nuw and Christmas, the fewer casualties i would he reported next spring to the ! homes of American soldiers. |
