Silver Peak Road Opened.

The Silver Peak Railroad running
from Blair Junction to the new town
of Blair was formally opened to
freight traffic on last Tuesday. The
first shipment over the new line was
a seven car train of lumber and
edibles. Yesterday the regular pas
senger service was inaugurated, and
hereafter there will be two passenger
trains day. One meeting the
morning train on the Tonopah and
Goldfeld Railroad for the coast.
The other will connect with the
evening train from San Francisco.
The road bed of the new line Is in
fine shape and is devoid of the
tortuous curves so noticeable on rail-
roads running through this State
On the entire length there are but
four curves and of moderate degree.
The line is practically at grade the
full length, the greatest rise being
but one and two-tenth feet. Already
the entrance of the railroad has
made vast difference at Blair, and
the spot is taking on a most busi-
nesslike appearance. At Blair juno
tion there are several thousand feet
of lumber as we'll as many hundred
pounds of miscellaneous freight
which is being transported to the
terminus of the line as quickly as
1t can be loaded on cars. 1t is re-
ported that the first passenger coach
over the line was on Wednesday,
when the official of the road made a
trip Of inspection

MIDWAY MILL
IN OPERATION
First Stamp Falls on Wednesday
Night---WiII be Kept in Mo
tiOn from Now on

The first stamps of the recon-
structed Midway Mill dropped upon
ore on Thursday night and the
mill is now in permanent operation.
Ore shipments are being made from
the Tonopah Mining Company's
mines, and the roar of stamps can
be plainly heard. Two batteris of
five stamps each are crushing the
ore, which is being ground in
Huntington mill and then precipi-
tated upon two Wiefiey tables. The
daily capacity of the ten stamps is
40 tons, but as soon as additional
parts, which have been delayed are
received, the balance of the stamps,
ten in number will be started and
the capacity doubled. When in full
operation, in addition to the 20
stamps, there will be four Hunting
ton mills for grinding the ore.
Four Wiefiey concentrating tables
will be in use. The entire plant Is
run by 100 horse power electric
motor. Sand and teaching tanks are
completed and in use. Owing to the
delay in freight shipments several
important parts are still missing,
and until received the full capacity
of the mill can not be utilized. 1t
is expected that the balance of the
mancinery will be received soon.
and when it is it will be but a mat
ter of short time before the entire
milling capacity will be in operation.

Tonopah Mine.

The usual energetic work in de-
velopment still continues. A tunnel
has been run at the 500-foot level
to the Brougher vein, in the Midway,
at the 435-foot level. II was expected
that it would have been possible this
week to ship to the new mill at
Miller's Siding, but owing to delay
in material the mill is not yet ready.
Small shipments have been made to
the Midway mill, but the present car
famine has interfered greatly in
this direction. Every thing under
ground is being made ready so that
when the difficulties are overcome
there will be no further delay. The
new office building is nearly COM
pleted, and rapid strides are being
made on the new mess house. The
elaborate system for fire protection
will soon be in shape. Stand pipes
will be distributed throughout the
property SO as to cover all the build
ings. At each stand pipe will be
a reel of fire hose OF sufficient length
as to cover a large area.

Montana.

The development work on this
property is going along most salts
factorily and the mine is looking bet
ter and better. This is particularly
true of the northwest splice OF the
Mcdonald vein on the 4th level. On
the 5th level a crosscut will be run
by machine and catch this same
splice at this depth The work is be-
ing done In two shifts in order that
the crosscut may be completed as
soon as possible. The powder maga-
zine on the side of the hill Is com
pleted, and as soon as the tunnel,
at the 70-foot level is finished, the
powder will be taken from the maga-
zine through the tunnel to the shaft.
The guides for the shaft are on
the way, and as soon as received the
shaft will be repaired and the second
compartment equipped. AS soon as
this is done tn new hoisting engine
will be started, and the capacity OF
the shaft doubled.
The grading for the crusher and
mill building is practically com
pleted and the mason work started
this week 1t is expected that the
contract for the cyanide plant will
he let today.

Although the ore which has been
taken from all parts of the mine in
the past two weeks has been the
richest in it's history the values
of the new strike are greatly in
excess Of the general average and
the present indications point to the
permanency of the body. On the
600-foot level the ore is running in
higher values than ever before
When interviewed upon the matter
General Manager Kirchen spoke in
substantially the same strain as the
above and explained that the news
of the strike had been withheld un-
til its extent was learned in order
to obviate the possibility of any false
impression. He is delighted over
the latest developments and states
that the mine was never in better
shape. Development work is being
pushed and highly gratifying result
obtained.

Upon authority emanating from
the Office of the Californian Tonopah,
it is stated that ore has been en-
countered on the 400-foot level.
The values of the new find are
practically the same as the high
grade ore found on the 600-foot
level While running a cross cut
the miners broke through the foot
wall of the vein and exposed a face
of fine ore. The assay figures have
not been given out, but the returns
have been so gratifying that the new
body will be opened up with all
possible speed and in such a manner
as to prove the extent of the vein
on,the level where the new body was
found.

forced the engineers to assist them
in packing it to wagon about 100
feet distant. The wagon used be-
longed to the Wood and Sullivan
Hardware Company. After intimi-

four men mounted the wagon and
drove off. After the disappearance

information has only just come

a larg body of xceptionally high
grade ore has been uncovered. II
IS on the fartherest workings of the

still in the breast. The width of
the drift is feet wide and has
been through the richest kind of
ore the entire distance of 100 feet

is the new body that the ore ex-
tracted is shipped direct to the
smelter without going through any
preliminary handling. The drifting

The opening session of the Ameri-

Tuesday morning at the Broadway
Theatre in Denver. The speech of
welcome was delivered by Gov.
Mcdonald, and was ably replied to
by President J. H. Richards. Presi-
dent Richards also delivered his an
nual address, in which he highly
recommended the establishment of
a department of mines and mining
as branch of the Federal Govern
ment and the appointment of an ad-
ditional member of the President s
cabinet as it's head. A resolution
urging the passage of such a meas
ure was unanimously carried Gov.
Pardee of California presented a bill
to prevent mining frauds by State
legislation. Several other questions
of vital moment to the mining indus
tries of this country were also dis
cussed
1t is estimated that at least 500
delegates were present during the
convention, which adjourned yester-
day. In addition to Gov. Mcdonald
Gov Pardee and Gov. Cutler, of
Utah, were many prominent Neva-
dams, including DR.. G.. w. Tibbits

alarm. The entire forces of both
sheriffs and police are doing every
thing possible to apprehend the per-
pertrators, but as yet the only clew
which they have is the identity of
the wagon used to carry away the
loot. The value of the ore secured
is between $4,000 and 100000.
This is one of the most sensational
hold ups in the history of Southern
Nevada, and from the tenor of the
feeling existing in Goldfield the
punishment which will be meted out
should the looters be caught will
have the effect of making this rob-
