Experiment With Gold Orc.
The main feature OF the mining world

WILL ERECT PLANT

sity of Useless and Perhaps
RuinOuS Expenditures.

That the Bullfrog (Nevada) region has
passed successfully all stages that might
be classcd as Spasmodic In nature, sub
sttutlng therefor an era of intelligent and
systematic work, could not be illustrated
better than by the formation of plans now
we'll under way which contemplate the
erection and early completion OF an eN-
perlmcntal mill at the camp Of Rhyolite,
Various interests represented in New
York, Boston and this city and the camp
itself have agreed upon plan OF proce-
dure that will contribute greatly to the
economical development OF the resources
OF the district
Many Interests Com bine.
Instead of going ahead bIindly as indI
vdusls and erecting mills to handle the
output from the several mines, making
tho samo mistakes that have been made
so often under similar circumstances, all
interests have combined Tie several con-
diuons Of the various properties will be
studied very carefully in thf the eSo X
contributed to by many owners Of
prominent Bullfrog property, This will
obviate individual and perhaps rulnous
expenditures for the purpose OF solving
the questions involved In the treatment OF
tho ores OF the district.
Will Constitute First Unit
While tho details OF the enterprise are
in the future. It is understood by those
on tho inside circles that the manage
ments Of such properties as the Shoshone,
Original Bulfrog, Denver Tramp, Gold
Bur. Eclipse Gibraltar and other mines
Will contribute their share towards the
erection and equipment OF this plant. 1t
is thought that the plant Will be con-
structcd go as 10 constitute the first unit
OF a much larger mill, should the develop
ments warrant it beginning perhaps,
with ten stamps and with all the acces
eories Incident to such enterprises. There
ls little question in the minds OF those in
terestcd but what the mill VIII prove TO
be financial success, In addition TO
teaching lessons the Importance of which
can not be ovcrcstlmated.
Ores Easily Treated
Those who arc familiar with the various
ores found In the Bullfrog district do not
anticipate any great trouble in solving the
treatment problems. rs II is thought Ger
tain that the ores VIII be found suscept-
ible TO the most economical methods
known.

HEAD CRUSHED
FLAT BY. ROLLER
YOUNG MAN MEETS HORRIBLE
DEATH AT WAUsAU.
Ignored the Warning When Engineer
Lost Control Of Heavy Machine and
Later Jumped to His Death-Intoxi-
cation May Have Caused Reckless

Wausau, Wis, Aug. 2s.-One of the most hor-
rifying deaths in the annals of this city befell
an unidentified young man shortly before 8
o'clock last evening. The young mans head
was pressed fat under street roller which be-
came unmanageable while being operated on I
new pavement near the south bridge.
The man, who had just come from the West
Side, Jumped onto the rear Of the roller, to
which two boys previously had been attracted.
The roller had finished its course up the hill
from the bridge and as usual the engineer:
moved it backwards to turn 1t around. At
this moment the engine became uncomfortable
and the engineer called to his three passengers
at the rear to get of. This the two boys
FASTENED to do, but the young man refused,
and replied: "Tn stay on as long as you do.''1
However, when he saw that the rear end Of
the massive machine was likely to strike a.
telephone post, he jumped. His head struck
the cement walk, and when the roller passed
over his head the telephone pole was broken
of and the cement walk was badly damaged
for few yards. Il 44}
When the undertaken picked up the corpse
the brain dropped entirely from the crushed
skull upon the walk. The left eye was open
and seemed very nfelike, while the right eye.
together with that side Of the face and head
were crushed to pulp.
There is theory that the was intoxi-
Gated and that his recklessness probably could
be explained by his condition. ~

William Hogan and Thomas Hogan were the
