CAPT TAIN OELAMAR
PLANS BIG THINGS
viii Erect Mill for Treatment Of
One Thousand Tons Of
Ore Per Day.
FOR BLUESToNE PROPERTY.
Proposes TO Build Electric Railroad TO
Handle Output OF This Yer.
ington Mine.

The visit Of Capt. DeI.amar TO his
Bluestone property last week means
that In a very few weeks from now
great activity will be displayed on that
property, says the Yerlngton Times.
This was Mr.. DeLamar's first visit to
the Bluestone mine. and he found 1t to
be even a greater property than he an
ticlpated. There are a million and
half tons OF copper ore In the Bluestone
that VIII Yield an average Of per cent
In red metal.
For the past year careful experiments
have been made with electromagnetic
separators on all characters OF ore in
the mine, and IL has been demonstrate
ed that by this process over 30 per cent
of the values can be extracted. Ar
rangements are now beng made Tor
the construction of plant, to be locat-
ed In the vicinity OF the pump station,
which will handle in the neighborhood
of 1000 tons per day. A tramway will
bring the ore from the mine to the con-
centrating plant, but It has not been
definitely determined whether or not
converting plant viii be erected or the
concentrates shipped, The large double,
point In another 100 feet, and there will
be established an electric plant for
holsting, running cars etc. 1t is re-
ported that Capt. DeLamar has Sc
cured a controlling interest in tho
Truckee River General Electric Co.
Whether this report is correct or not,
he has become Identified with that
company, and the line Is now being
rushed from Como to the Douglas and
Bluestone as rapidly as possible, II
will probably be completed by next
March or April. II Is also reported
that the Bluestone company will run
an electric line OF road from It's works
to the Nevada & California railroad at,
or near, Wabuska
At all events there is now much ac-
tlyity at the mine, wages have been
raised from SO to $3.50 per day, and in
the spring 1t Is more than likely that
couple Of hundred men Will be en-
ployed In one capacity or another by
the Bluestone company. There will be
things doing in the old town of YER

the course OF the next so days work up

One question Is still to be decided and
this Is the most vital one that must
be considered by any property located

Scientists are at present engaged up-
on measurements and observations that
will settle the above question for all
time.
Two plans are under consideration,
one IL 10 bring the water from Duck

Is to tunnel through the mountain be-
hind the smelter site TO the source o.
supply.
A decision In the matter Will be reach

plan could be completed soonest and at
least expense, but the latter would set
tie the matter Of water supply for all
time and would be IN the nature of
