great amount OF water necessarily used
by the Dexter -Tuscarora Co., of the

Every time high wind comes down
the river it means that hundreds OF tons
of tailings are blown out of reach of the
millman. The heavy clouds Of dust
that arise in every storm are really
clouds Of tailings, and they will assay.
During this storm several hundred
tons of tailings that we were ready to
put into the cyanide watts went over the
hills. 1t is safe to say that at the
Mexican mill over 100, 600 tons of val
liable tailings have been blown away.
This is only one OF the big dumps that
is visited by our zephyrs and scatter
the gold and silver to the four winds.
1t is a common expression that OF
blowing in your bullion, but in this
case the bullion is in realty blown out,
or in, or anywhere it can lodge when
Washoe zephyr swoops down on it..
Whenever you see a cloud of dust
whirling over Empire you can figure
that tons OF valuable tailings are being
sent slxyward that II any one had the
value of, they could declare dividend.
