hydraulic giant and iredger and the
great gravel washing mill
1t was the pleasure of the TRIBUNE
man last Saturday to be conducted
through the mine and mill of the
Monte Christie company mill by J. w.
Wenzel, the courteous superintendent.
In the year and a half that Mr..
Wenzel and his company have been
working in the American Canyon, they
have accomplished more to demons
trate the vast wealth of that wash
than has ever been done. They have
sunk a shaft 200 feet deep and have
pay dirt all the way. At the 97-foot
level they have ran over a thousand
feet of tunnels and drifts, besides
Others from various levels in the
shaft, testing the ground thoroughly
and showing that it carries values of
from fifty cents to six and eight dol
lars per yard. They have erected
hoist that will lift 500 tons of this
dirt per day and mill that will wash
$50 tons of gravel or l50 tons of
the clay, which is so prevalent there,
per day. This hoist and mill works
automatically so that the dirt or
gravel does not have to be touched
with shovel after it leaves the face
of drift. There it is shoveled into
car, dumped into the skip, which acts
automatically, dumping it into the
ore bins. From there it goes into the
mill in continuous feed, is thrown
into the rock car or carried off in the
sluice as the case may be.
A continuous stream of water plays
into the mill and the dirt is thorough
ly pulverized and the rock washed as
clean as if scrubbed by hand. The
values are saved in the rifles and
screens of an immense rocker and any
waste they may wish to hoistis dump
ed right into car and pushed off to
the dump. All this dumping is done
by the engineer as he stands at the

For many years the miners and
prospectors who have been working
the rich placer deposits of Spring
Valley and American Canyon have
been wondering where the gold came
from. Various leads have been found
that for time seemed to be the
Mother Lode, but after time the
values pinched and the hopes were
blasted. Still the search has been
kept up and the faithful few are now
quite sure they have the source that
has furnished the millions washed to
the valleys below.
1t is variously estimated that fifteen
to twenty millions of placer gold has
been taken from American Dry Gulch
and Spring Valley canyons, and this
mostly by Cinnamon burrowing
through the ground and washing out
the gravel by the crudest and slowest
methods.
Paintings of the dirt at various
points in these canyons show that the
values extend way up to the head of
all, colors being found right up to the
divide Veins have been found and
worked, noteably the great Bonanza
King vein, low down, but the placer
gold occurring above these indicates
that they are not the chief supply,
MONTE CHRISTIE PLACER NINE.
As we stated above, the greater
part of these values have been taken
out by Cinnamon, by slow and crude
methods. They would sink a hole to
the depth of 35 to 40 feet deep, drift
out as far as they could without its
caving and then go short distance
and start sinking another hole. In
this way considerable of the Can
yons have been undermined to the
depth of 40 feet.
But now the scene has changed, the

Camp Mcintosh, August 10th, 1906.
Editor TRIBUNE:-We are nicely set
tied in a model camp, thirty miles
from Beckwith, and near the stage
road between there and Creenville.
Indian Creek furnishes US an unlimit-
ed supply of the finest mountain wat
er, and from Flournoy's ranch on
which we are encamped. we get plen-
ty of fresh milk, eggs, butter, berries
and vegetables. Fishing, hunting,
horseback riding and loating furnish
such appalling appetites that the
Japanese Chef holds up his hands in
despair of ever satisfying the hungry
horde.
Just now we are finishing up the
last of the venison, making it into
"Jerky" after regretting that the
distance and weather have prevented
us giving our Lovelock friends taste
of the most delicious fat venison ever
brought down in this valley. On

SEVEN BARS OF BULLION.
Taken From a Run on 1900 Pounds
Of Ore from the Humboldt Queen.

The owners and management of the
Humboldt Queen mine are highly de-
lighted with the returns from test
run made on 1900 pounds of ore from
that mine sent to the new process
gas smelter in Reno last week.
As result of the run and showing
the richness of the ore. they brought
back with them seven beautiful bars
of bullion, good for sore eyes. They
are about eight inches long. 2 inches
wide and an inch and half thick
The run was made to test the gas
method of smelling, now being install
led by party in Reno, and see if it
would handle the Queen ores practic-
ally and cheaply The gas is made
from oil and is the cheapest means of
smelling known for this section, Be-
lieying that the ore run is fair
sample of the general character of
ores in the Queen, Messrs. Jones and
Sims, who witnessed the work, are
confident they have the proper method
to treat the ore cheaply and to the
best advantage.
The new shaft at the Queen is
now down more than 100 feet and is
in highly mineralized ground. The
ore tested was not taken from the
shaft, but from the old workings, in
the ledge which the shaft is being
sunk to catch. May the day be not
far distant when Superintendent Sims
can see the bars If silver bullion be-
ing turned out every day.
