Above the Nevada Humboldt in
Florida canyon, is located the Big Four
mine which is being developed by San
Francisco capitalists. 1t covers a
quartz fissure vein, which carries re-
markable values in gold. On account
Of the steepness Of this ground, the
ore, some of which contains as much
as $1,000 in gold, is taken out by pack
horses. Plans are now being made to
place a small stamp mill on this prop

Numerous other locations have re
Gently been made in this locality, where
ore indications prevail and the cOun-
try is gaining the attention of the pub

Of the operations have been more than

will doubtless witness another increase
of the same proportion.

INSTALLING new PROCESS
IN FAMOUS MERCUR MINE
Results in District Appear UnfavorabIe Because Of
Delay From the Change
Believed That This Method Will Enable Many Abandoned Proper
ties in Camp to Be Operated at Profit

One year ago it was predicted that
the advances being made in the cyanide
treatment OF gold ores would eventual
~ result in many Of the abandoned
properties of the Mercur district being
again brought into prominence. The
past twelve months have not been bar
rem Of results in this direction, and the
greater proportions during the year to
come.
Circumstances over which he had no
control resulted in cessation Of Efforts
on the part of George Moore to make q
success OF the Sunshine proposition, and
when he was compelled TO abandon that
undertaking he at once arranged for
the Introduction Of his own patented
process for the treatment Of ores and
shines at the Consolidated Mercur COM
pany's mammoth mill. The practica-
bility Of the process was first worked
out in an experimental way at the mill
and, when he had demonstrated to the
satisfaction Of the management that it
V would do the work claimed for it, he
was authorized to proceed with the in
stallation Of the process on large
scale.
Adjusting Mercur Mill.
make the necessary changes in the
plant to properly operate the process
has required great deal Of time. The
announcement is made, however. that
final adjustments have been made and
that, in addition to taking care Of the
500 tons of shines which are daily made
in the mill the plant viii also be able
to treat an equally large tonnage Of
tailings at a minimum cost after the
winter season closes.
The success Of Mr.. Moore's process
means everything to the Mercur dis
trict, as it robs the talcy ores Of the
camp Of their terrors and win permit
of the profitable handling Of many
properties that a few years ago had TO
be abandoned on account Of the diff
cuIties experienced in extracting the
values.
