MONTGOMERY sHosHoNE-C

the largest shipments ever made In
Nevada will leave the Montgomery Sho-
shone as soon as the railroad reaches
camp. The consignment will contain
about 1000 tons of the big mines high
grade product. 1t will make up a train
load, allowing 80 tons to the car, Of
nearly 40 cars, and will represent a
valuation approximating half a million
dollars. The shipment is now being
rapidly collected. There are over 5000
sacks on the dump, and the management
is bending every energy to make 1t as
large as possible. The material is all
high grade, and much of it will 90 int
fancy figures. 1t is a well known fact
that there is no small amount of She
shone ore which runs into the thou
sands. while an average of the shipping
rock is exceedingly high.
In the meantime mill plans are being
rapidly perfected, and construction en-
the company's big plant will start in a
short time. General Manag Bryce
Turner, and Don Gillies, a member of
the company are in San Francisco to
let the contract for the mill, and it is
probable that this detail has already
been settled upon, although nothing
relative to 1t has been heard at the
mine. AS heretofore stated by the
Miner, the treating capacity will be
between 300 and 400 tons a day, and
will include stamps, amalgamation, con-
centration and cyanide. Much atten-
ton was given to perfecting the pro-
cess before it was finally decided upon.
1t is understood to be thoroughly
adapted to Shoshone ores, and to effect
an exceedingly high degree of saving.
AS soon as this feature was settled the
management began at once on mill
plans, and pushed the matter rapidly
to a conclusion. resulting in Manager
Turner's departure to place the order
for machinery.
In addition to the big treating plant
there will be forwarded in the same
consignment, an air compressor, drills,
hosting machinery and other acces-
series. This will be delivered by the
earliest trains to reach the district, and
construction work will then be rapidly
advanced. No definite time can be set
for the completion of the mill, but the
dispatch hitherto shown by the man
agement warrants the statement that
no time will be lost.
And there has been no letting up in
development, Notwithstanding the other
matters connected with the property,
calling for attention. The tunnel from
the Indian ohnnie claim is being
pushed ahead to a connection with the
workings on this side of this mountatin.
Sinking continues, Polaris development
is being carried forward, and prepara-
tons are being made to start a three
N nartnoa shaft Euorutbipo nniptS
to early production at the property.
RUSH-The drifting on the Index
ledge of the Rush company is progress
ing rapidly. The north drift is in 80
feet, through constant milling values.
The south drift on the same ledge is
doing almost as well. The main tunnel
of the Rush proper is in 800 feet. The
S5-foot winze in this tunnel sinks on
the foot wall of the main ledge and
shows constant structure. A crosscut
has been made from the bottom of this
winze, 60 feet into the ledge, with mill
ing values all the way. The southeast
crosscut of the main tunnel is also in
ore.
GOLD BAR-The Gold Bar has UNI
covered som $500 ore in the shaft re-
Gently started near Homestake ground.
The material is being sacked for ship
ment. 1t is one of the richest discov-
cries made on the property. The find
was made at a depth of about 60 feet.
DIAM0NDFIELD-The strike at the
Diamondfeld Bullfrog continues not
only to hold good. but to increase in
magnitude. superintendent Lynch was
in this week and is authority for this
statement. He says the values in the
crosscut grow more and more encourag-
ing. The crosscut is in 80 feet, all in
ore, and there is no sign of its approach
ing the foot wall. There is every evil
dence that a strong and continuous body
of excellent milling ore is being opened
up. The vein carries a surface width
of about As feet.
BELM0NT-The Bullfrog Belmont is
fast assuming properties of a mine, says
the management. About four months
ago A. l.. Hudgens and associates of
San Francisco purchased this group of
IL claims, situated about two miles east
of the Gold Bar. Since this time sur
face prospecting has been vigorously
prosecuted under the management of
Harry O'Brien. During this time hum
dreds of feet of prosecuting have been
done, with the result that fou veins
nave been opened up. These veins were
blind and were opened up with trenches.
They were all mineral bearing, and the
one on the Saddle Horse claim, MI.
O'Brien says, is good enough for any
