Next week the largest reduction
works in Nevada will be running, says
a Goldfeld dispatch of the 3rd inst.
The Nevada Goldfeld Reduction COM
nanv's great 500-ton works, north of
the town, is rapidly nearing completion
and will soon be turning out a greater
amount of bullion than any other con-
Germ in the State. M. Edouard Riondel
the president of the company, is there
on a visit from Paris in order to be
nresent, with the other members of
the company-W. E. Dowlen, vice
president and general manager, and j.
p. Harrington of Paris, director-at
the commencement of the operation of
the great mill. M. Riondel, a wealthy
Partisan banker, is a man of widely
diversified interests, being president of
the Canadian Metal company, which
owns eight mines and two shelters in
Canada, and president of the Banque
Lilloise of Paris, which has five other
banks, one at Brussels. The great
crusher has a daily capacity of 500 tons
and upon the completion Of the plant
this amount can be handled continuous
". The entire plant is in Is distinct
departments, each being run under
units both as regards power and labor.
There are seven separate electric
motors, each controlling its separate
department of work and in separate
units. Included in the holding of this
company is the FL Caney claim, which
adjoins the Red Top, Mohawk and
Booth properties and upon which it is
the intention of the owners to begin
development work within a short time
and upon a scale which will insure its
thorough exploitation.
Considering the recent developments
in the Mohawk and Red Top, and
the strong probability that the rich ore
veins of those great properties are con
tinuing towards Columbia mountain,
has been the cause of many brokers and
spectators in stocks to secure blocks
of Booth at the present prevailing low
figures. So far nothing of a sensa-
tional character has been found on the
property, Notwithstanding the fact that
thousands of feet of shafts, tunnels,
drifts and crosscuts have been made,
entailing the expenditure of thousands
of dollars. AL Price and associates
worked for nearly a year and used all
their miners sense in attempts to find
the pay ledge, but were unsuccessful,
and a few weeks ago gave it up as 9
bad job, because they could get no ex.
tension Of their lease. The company
shaft is down about 275 feet and are
prosecuting to encounter the ledge
Another crosscut is being run from the
200 level for the same purpose, Dur
the process Of sinking fairly good values
were obtained at various depths, bu.
they did not hold out. Even the Pric,
lease was hnnicky and bunchy in small
values. 1t has been known for som,
time that George Wingfeld, n of tn
owners of Booth, has had his emissarie
at work on the stock board and that h
has been gathering in all that he coul
secure. His reasons for desiring S
much stock are that he wants to hol
a controlling interest and that som
time ago received a ''hunch" that tn
Red Top and Mohawk lodges were surel

AS Mr.. Wingfield is one of the owner
in the Mohawk he is in a position
satisfy himself on this latter point, ar
as he is a keen and f%ar-sighted bushes
man he will, if possible, take ~advantaf
of the present opportunity and obta
control of the Booth. In the meantin
the company is pushing its work
rapidly as possible expecting at no di
tant day to uncove a bunch of o
worth the game.
Soon after the II o'clock shift we

The discovery of this ledge has Great
a feeling of joy among the Revi
