Great Excitement.

Tonopah was thrown into the wild
est state of confusion and excitement
on last Wednesday, when dispatch
was received from Sodaville, sta ting
that 10, 900 Crooks were on the road
to Tonopah, Hundreds of our citi-
zens in every walk of life, miners,
muckers, prospectors, yellow legged
experts, promoters, mechanics, sur
veyors, assayers, mineralogists, mix
ologiSts, transfers, sports. timers,
grafters, locators, lawyers, brokers
and others turned out "enmasse"
and waited expectantly for the San
tiago Crooks to arrive. They car
rove" all right and were met with
the warmest, hottest, smokiest recep-
ton ever accorded or recorded since
the birth of the greatest camp ON
earth. 1t was sight long to be re
membered and will pass down in his
tory as being the most exciting
ordeal that Tonopah ever expert
enced We draw it mild when we
state that they were at once annihi-
lated. Dense columns of smoke were
seen issuing from every part of the
camp, Indicating that they received
a hot reception and they certainly
deserved their fate. There are a
few more Crook S left aud the public
can see them in the show window
marked at DC each or boxIof 80 for

building stone.

Situate about three and one-half
miles northeast Of Tonopah is an In
exhaustible quarry Of stone possess
ing all the qualities essential to last
Ing constructive material. IL is n
light gray in color. which is unaf-
fected by time and exposure. While
its gravity and density is sufficient
To withstand enormous pressure, 1t
is not hard 10 work or cut into any
shape, and is susceptible Of a good
polish. In place, the rock is mas
sive and without flaw or frac-
ture, so that blocks of any size
whatever may be taken out. Its
exact name in the category OF rocks
is unknown to the BONANZA scribe.
1t is freproof, having withstood a
test of 1900 degrees for two and one
half hours without feazing. 1t Is
destined to become an important fac
tor in the building Of the city, and
expert stonecutters and contractors
should look it up. The quarry, com
prising twenty acres, belongs to Up.
Brissell, where samples may be seen,
as also cut blocks in front Of the
Cutting building. This rock was cut
to form the foundation and pit Of
the large spurwheel of the McNa'
mara works, and in the shape Of
blocks ten to twelve feet in length is
being used to anchor the afr com
pressor at the main Tonopah com
pany shaft.

EIGHT HOURS.

The vast mining industry of Tono-
pah slides easily enough into the
working operation of the new eight
hour day law, which went into legal
effect on Thursday last and which
has practically been in force here all
the time. The subdivision of the
twenty-fOur hours into thirds, for
proportiOnate work, rest and recrea-
ton is rule old as the hills which
the miners are probing. Eastern
courts have held it to be good law, as
thereby the state exercises its police
power for the protect ton of those en-
gagged in an extra hazardous occupa
ton. In all probability the principle
has come to stay, to remain on the
statute books for good. Mine oper-
alters, or such new ones as may need
to be convinced by experience, will
learn that the average miner en-
gagged III delving the rocks, can and
will accomplish as much in eight
hours as he would naturally in ten.
The wonder, however, is how the law
makers and people of the state of
Nevada could have brought this re-
form about, right in the face of Sen
ltor Bell.

TONOPAH RAILROAD,

John F. Braun, president of the
Tonopah Railroad, who is one of the
original stockholders of the company
which purchased the Mizpah, is here.
He states that organization of the
syndicate which has in hand the CON
struction of the railway to Tonopah
from Rhodes on the Carson and Col
orado has been nearly perfected and
there now appears to be no question
about its rapid and ample capitaliza-
ton. The corps of engineers and
surveyors engaged in making final
location of the route are expected to
have completed that work by this
evening.
Mr., Braun is collecting every OBJ
tainable data bearing upon the fu-
ture traffic and business of the road,
with results so far rather surprising
to himself. They show that, indie
pendent of the enormous business
which will be created by the opera
ton of the road along its route
through development of the mineral
interests already known, there is at
present sufficient actual transporta-
ton to yield dividends on the invest
ment required. The business, pres
ent and prospective, of all the ada
cent mines and camps, is being care
fully calculated by thoroughly well
informed local authorities, all of
which data gives assurance that the
road can and will be operated at a
profit on a low freight and passenger
tariff. One of the principal factors,
as stated by the BONANZA of last
week, is the establishment at the
most advantageous point on the line
works capable of reducing any
and all ores for all the metal that
may be in them

Doupla, and Geo :. Nixon have or
ganizcd themselves into the Tonopah
Mining. Milling and Development
company. In previous article con
corning this enterprise, which is one
Of great import in Tonopah econom.
les. the BONANZA stated the fact that
"A thorough investigation was in pro-
gress as to the best possible method
of treating the ores. That salts
factory conclusion has been reached
is apparent from the plan and sys-
TEN adopted, which we describe as
follows:
The ore will be screened by pass
ing over grizzly, the fine immedi-
ately passing into the ore bin, the
coarse to floor convenient to the
rock breaker, where it will be re-
duced to proper fineness and dropped
into the bin BY means of automatic
feeders the ore will pass to the
stamps. where it will be reduced to
about twenty mesh, and will flow, in
the shape of pulp, to the Huntington
mills, in which it will be reduced to
eighty mesh. Mercury will here be
added and the free gold saved before
heat or chemicals are introduced to
the pulp, From the Huntington
mills the pulp will pass to separa-
tors that will settle the pulp, deliv-
ering a liberal portion of the water
therein to pump that will return it
to the battery to be used over, and
automatically delivering the pulp to
the first of series of grinding and
amalgamating pans arranged for the
continuous process. Chemicals will
he here automatically introduced,
heat applied and mercury added
The pulp will pass to settlers ;
the mercury-carrying its values
will be properly deposited and the
pulp, with its valuable contents
largely extracted, will flow to the
tailings reservoir. The amalgam will
be retorted, bullion melted into bars,
assayed and shipped. The mercury
will be returned to the process for
further use.
The machinery will consist of one
9Xl2 rockbreaker complete; ten
l350-lb stamps, arranged in batteries
of five, having boss patent details,
Pachuca battery, with steel can't
lever frame two 5-ft. Huntington
mills, belt driven; three patent pulp
separators; seven grinding and ANAL
gamating pans of the Pachuca pat
tern; two chemical feeders; two set
tiers retorts, melting furnaces, etc.
The whole will be driven by one 100
h. p. Diesel engine, with consump-
ton of nine gallons of Coalinga oil
per l00-h p. hours and is to be guar
anteed against structural defects for
one year. The shafting will be of
sufficient size to permit of the in
crease of the plant to twenty stamps,
with necessary pans and settlers.
The whole is TO be covered with a
substantial all iron building, well ar.
ranged and well lighted. The build
ing will be large enough to 90 over
and around the ore bins, rockbreaker
and stamps and to cover an addition
of ten stamps to the battery, and so
arranged that the pan room can be
cheaply and conveniently heightened
to make necessary additions for pans
and settlers.

ginning OF the winter term.
The past week has been rather a re-
markable one as to weather. The tenn
prature fell to 40 below zero at a. ~.
last Saturday and getting as high as 46o
above zero at the same hour on Monday.
Sunday morning there was every appear
ance of heavy snow storm but by noon
rain was falling which continued In In
creasing volumn, accompanied by high
wind, until Monday morning. The river
rose about six feet at this point but this
does not promise to be permanent as the
water seems to have come almost wholly
from the Sandy River and very little
from tributaries above this stream or
from Moosehead Lake. Since the cool
weather on Tuesday there has been skat-
ing on the river, several parties having
skated to Norridgewock and return.
They report the river safe for the whole
distance, in the center, but the ice rather
rough.

Jackson, August 10. The challeng-
ing of the election of Will Williams
as attorney general OF the state by
Judge Brame, his opponent, was a
great surprise in political circles here.
Judge Brame in his letter TO the
democratic executive committee yes
terday afternoon gave his reasons, in
a very lengthy communication, for
contesting the election of Will
Williams His principal and only
reason was that on the day Of cleo
ton NJ Williams had distributed in
the boxes over the state blotters upon
which was printed, use the blottel
and vote tor Hon. William Williams
for Attorney General" The com
mittee very promptly sat down on thu
protest Of Judge Brame, and in TIT
same resolution received and filed hi
letter and declared Will Williams TIL
nominee.

ALL DOUBT WILL BE SETTLED
AS to Who Are or Are Not Elected
When Executive Committee
Makes TomorroW's Report.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, August 10 This MORN
ing at 10 O'Clock the state dem
ocratic executive committee was
called to order by Chairman G. O.
Miller of Meridian, and the returns
from the seventy-fiye counties Of the
state will be tabulated and made pub
lie.
Much interest is conferred in this
meeting by reason of the fact that
a number of the offices are in doubt,
and several are claiming the victory,
while in thu race for every Office, the
exact figures are not known. In the
race for governor, the Vardaman
forces are claiming that change OF
about seventy votes would have
placed their man in the governors
chair Oh the first primary, while the
Critz men are making the same claim
for their leader, and declare that
the vote lie received showed him to
be stronger than Vardaman. All OF
these claims will be set aside today
when the offiial count is known.
The railroad commissioners race ID
this district is in doubt, and is claim
ed by the three leading candidates,
Roby, McInnis and Bradley. All OF
the other state Offices are settled, but
the ma o ity Of each is still matter
of dispute.
The returns from the counties have
been coming in unusually slowly to
the secretary Of state, and Oh Mond ny
when it was thought that the commit
tee would meet, only thirty five coun-
ties had sent in their official returns.
All of the counties but several remOv-
ed from railroads have sent in theil
returns and these will reach the score
tary before the meeting 6 the com
mittee this morning.
