lite arrangements are DelhB iaPAWg -
fected for the installation of a big mill
ing plant at the Montgomery s~hoshone'
the schwab merger situated on Mont
gomery mountain. F. NJ. Fields chem
ist for the company, has concluded the
ore tests which he has been conducting
for the past three months in DenVer
with a view to ascertaining the correct
treatment, and has just returned 10
Rhyolite. These tests, 1t Is stated were
eminently successful and the process
adopted effects a high degree of saving.
II is a combination of concentration,
a~malgamation and cyanide of potassium.
The new plant will have a daily ca
pacity of from 800 to 400 tons, and, as
heretofore stated, will be located on the
side hill between the Polaris. one of the
merged properties, and the present
Shoshone workings. The situation is
regarded as an excellent one, conducting
to an cary handling of the mines put
put. An adequate water supply Tor all
milling purposes has been secured ana
the pipe lines will be completed before
the mill is ready for operation.
Plans for the new plant are now be-
ing prepared and bids will be called Tor
within the next two weeks. -aessrs.
Atkinson and Hops, representing the
C. C. Moore e. Co. machinery house or
San Francisco, have just been over the
ground for the purpose of gathering
data for the FIRMS bid on the construc-
ton of the mill. Every detail is to be
completed, the order for the machinery
placed and the consignment ready to be
moved by the time the railroad is COM
pleted into camp. In this particular no
definite date referring to the finishing
of the plant can be mentioned, but me
management states that no time will be
lost in starting the machinery. III the
present contemplation materializes, only
a few months will intervene before the
reduction of the ~Shoshone ores and
those of the amalgamated properties
will be under full Roadway.
DAISY-A big strike has just been
made in the Daisy. The ledge was cut
on the dip by the shaft at a depth or
100 feet, and rock uncovered which, II
is estimated, will easily run from $1,000
to $4,000 in gold. The whole bottom of
the shaft is in ore, two feet of which
carries the phenomenal values. This
appears to confirm the theory that the
values in this section increase toward
the northeast. The vein at this point
is 100 feet wide. The hoist recently in
stalled on the property is in fine work
ing order.
GOLD BULLFRoG-E. G. Leuntzel,
superintendent of the Gold Bullfrog
Mining company, operating a property
near Indian springs, left this week for
Los Angeles, to be gone until Sept. /.
AS previously mentioned in the Miner,
this company has a 10-stamp mill or
dered and it is expected will be de-
livered in a short time. The plant with
engines for power and pumping pur-
poses is now en- route. Upon the return
of the superintendent from Los Angeles
the machinery will be installed. 1t is
understood that the company has a
large amount of excellent milling ore
in sight.
GOLDEN SCEPTRE-Ed Murphy, SUI
perintendent of Golden Sceptre, left
yesterday on a combination business
anu pltdSuiC tiiP = AOo hSSiS
business part of the visit includes ne
gotiations for a compressor plant and
machine drills for the shaft and tunnel
at the Golden Sceptre. According to a
survey Just completed, the main tun,
mel, now in sos feet, will encounter the
Hobo ledge in a drive of As feet further.
Values are now coming in the face, but
when the big lead is cache an extern
sive ore shoot will be uncovered.
sRosHoNE ExTENSIoN-The shaft
at the Montgomery Shoshone Extension
is down 160 feet and fair values are be-
ing encountered. 1t is the purpose of
Superintendent Doyle to begin cross
cutting at the 200-foot level. The prop
erty adjoins the Montgomery Shoshone
on the south. 1t will be crossed by the
new Clark road on it's lower end.
BULLFROG MINING-The anage
ment of the Bullfrog Mining has ordered
cars and rails for the work on the east
side of Laid mountain. The lodges in
this locality are showing up exception
ally strong and development 's to be
pushed as rapidly as possible on this
side of the The increase of
values with depth has caused the COM
pany to resume sinking from the main
tunnel with renewed energy. With the
approach of cool weather the force will
be increased and more extensive devel-
opment work engaged in. The general
estimation by those who are conversant
with the property is that it is making an
excellent showing.
HoMESTAKE EXTENSION - HI
Homestake Extension, a company
recently organized to operate a
property adjoining the Daisy on
the northeast, under the direc-
ton Of Curtis Mann, started work
yesterday on a crosscut to tap the main
ledge of the property. This tunnel will
tap the ledge, which shows 100 feet on
the surface. at about 500 feet in, and
will give $40 feet of backs. Splendid
surface values ppear in the quartz.
Everything is lined Up for extensive de-
velopment.

from the Aurora Bullfrog near Beatty
