"A report reached here Wednes-
day that no more ore would be ship
ned from TonoDah The leaserS in
that camp figure it will be cheaper
for them to build a mill of their own
and work the ore now on the dumps,
than to ship ore to any point. 1t
this report proves to be true 1t will
throw many transfers out of work,
and the boys who went from here
with teams will be i'll hard luck. 1t
is stated that some of the big teams
are now on their way back to this
place and Carson Valley.
The lot OF Pumpkin Hollow ore
worked recently at the Spragg mill,
did not turn out as well as expected.
The leasers had batch of ore, from
close sampling of which, they judged
would go $50 per ton. The assays
ran considerably above the 500 fig
ure, but after milling less than $40
per ton was saved. The tailings show
considerable value, but not enough
to make the ore average up to ex-
pectations. The value seems to be in
the ore all right, but it was not taken
out in the last run, apparently, and
lust where il went to seems to be a
mystery.
