The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1904-12-30

Around a point OF bluff about a hall
mile to the north of where the Gold
field Reduction Works are preparing
Tor the erection of a milling plant, work
is being pushed for the construction OF
another milling establishment. This
plant is being erected by Dean d Jones
Of Los Angeles, Cal. Neither of the
above mentioned gentlemen are in Gold
neld at the present time but workmen
are breaking the ground for the laying
Of the foundation of the mill. This
plant, while not to be constructed OF
entirely new machinery, is practically
the same as one hat would be equipped
with material just out of the foundry.
The mill was originally purchased by
parties to be sent to South America. 1t
is on the way to Goldfeld now, being
brought by teams overland from Cali
~fornia, by way of Keller, and is ex-
pected in different consignments, a
portion of which is likely to arrive here
most any day.
Messrs. Dean & Jones are figuring on
building a plant SO that any time in the
future the mill can be increased to 100
stamps. A cyanide plant will also be
run in connection with the establish
ment.
Plenty of water has been secured for
the running of the mill, 60-fOot we'll
alone having a daily capacity of several
thousand gallons of water.
1t seems that some conflict has taken
place over the right of Dean & Jones to
work upon the ground that
they did. 1t is alleged that parties
claiming to represent the Goldfeld Re-
duction works went to the workmen
employed by Dean Il Jones, and stated
to them that their employers had no
to the ground they were working
on and succeeded in persuading them to
stop work. Word wal sent to Mr.. Dean
a result that the men went back to
work and will continue under his direc-
tons. The ground was purchased by
Mr.. Dean from Ish and Winkler, and it
is not expected that there will be any
further trouble along those lines.
Mr.. Dean is expected here from Cali
about the third of January, when
it is expected that a larger force of men
will be put to work to hurry the COM
Of the plant.
j. H. Spiking and associates have
plans we'll under way for the construc-
ton of a mill which will be we'll among
the first of those ready for operation in
Goldfeld. The mill will be OF five
stamps and the process used will be
amalgamatiOn, concentration and an
cyaniding process.
The site of the milling plant will be
just outside the present town limits on
the northwestern edge of Goldfield.
Two wells have been sunk and a plenti-
ful water supply developed for all the
purposes Of the plant.

Mr.. Spiking and associates have pur-
chased a mill in the southern part of
the county and already one load of
twelve tons of machinery has been de-
livered here. The remainder of the
plant will be here in about eight days
and the construction of the plant will
be rushed to completion. 1t is ex-
pected that it will be in running order
in about sixty days.
Nh. Spiking has been in Goldfield
since January and is thoroughly con-
versant with the various ores Of the
camp, Of which he has made a close
He is an energetic young nan
and has acquired the habit of succeed
ing in anything he undertakes and his
latest venture, the milling project, will
doubtless be no exception. Added to
energy he has a thorough practical
knowledge of the milling business, hav-
ing operated plants with success in
other parts of the country.
Speaking of the probable milling
charges for working the ores Of the dis
trict, Mr.. Spiking said they would
range from So to $l4 per ton, based on
the character OF the ore to be treated.
He said he would guarantee to work the
