Big Reduction Works.

The Nevada Reductian Works, stu
ated at Dayton and owned almost
entirely by Captain H. Davis, is soon to
make costly and extensive improve
ments, the first being the erection of a
large electric plant on the old Eureka
millsite and the construction of a 100
stamp mill on the old Excelsior and
Bragg millsites in Gold Canyon. In
addition to these investments to be
made the company has purchased dur
ing the past year nine power and mill
sites-the Eureka, Winters, Sutro,
Illinois, Davis, Sweetapple, Metallurgi-
cal, Excelsior and Rock Point. Upon
the Eureka millsite is located extern
sive and costly improvements in the
shape of buildings for mining and mill
cars, locomotives, etc. With the COM
pletion of it's contemplated improve
ments the company will have the most
extensive reduction works in Nevada
and one Of the largest on the coast.
The owners have successfully financed
their project and the year win witness
the expenditure of large sum for the
ing purposes, machinery for the same
purpose, and narrow-gauge railroad,
consummation of the plans that have
been carefully laid out.

Silver Bow.

In the impedimenta brought by 9.

The ore is true quartz aud looks

ore is free milling Both walls of
the vein are rhyolite.

MUCH ACTIVITY
AT REVEILLE
Many Properties Are to Be
Opened Up.
Herman ReiSchke will Establish Mall
Stage Line Between TOnO-
pah and R lille.

Herman Reischke, the pioneer Nevada
mining man, came in from Reveille
Tuesday on business and pleasure trip.
Mr.. Reischke has mined in various
parts of Nevada and says that he pre-
fers Reveille to all the other rich camps.
He has many diversified interests at
Reveille. He says five new companies
are about to be launched to develop
Reveille properties. They were in the
incubator ready to be Matched when he
left the camp. One Of these is to be
named the Bromide hill mining COM
pany. Herman Reischke, George A.
Bartlett and F. A. Moore are the in
corporators. They have twelve claims
on Bromide hill, four miles north Of
Reveille, with shipping ore from the
grass roots down in all of them. There
are several ledges, the main one being
a monster.
Moore and Harris have developed a
fine showing on the South Mountain
mining company's ground. They broke
into splendid shoot of ore at depth
of only ten feet, few days ago, and
are now extracting good shipping ore.
On the Highland Boy, Frank Kitzke
has drifted on ledge which shows an
ore body rich in horn silver and other
metals. He encountered it in driving
tunnel about 200 feet on a contact
of porphyry and lime. The extent of
the ore body is not known as yet, but
Mr.. Kitzke has opened it up for a
distance Of 60 feet and there is no
telling how much further the shoot
extends.
D. A. Bush, Frank Work, d. Nc
Namara, the Goldfield assayer, and
f. Frampton, merchant of that city,
have started work on the property Of
the West Side mining company COM
pany. This corporation has five claims
on Middle Mountain in the Reveille
district that give splendid surface in
dications. They expect to make things
hum in that section in the near future.
w. w. Booth and E. Anderson have
splendid group Of claims adjoining
the Bromide Hill mining company's
ground. There is fine surface show
ing on the property and little work
will undoubtedly result in the opening
up of good body of shipping ore.
Inasmuch as Uncle Sam has not
seen fit to establish mail line between
Tonopah and Reveille, Mr.. Reischke
has decided to start one Immediately,
on his own hook, for the benefit Of
the people of his section. He has se-
cured firstclass stage coaches and ex-
perienced drivers, and has established
the following time schedule: Leaves
Tonopah Thursday morning arriving at
Five Mile station, near Clifford, that
evening; leaves Five Mile the follow
ing morning and going via Clifford,
Bellehelen and other camps, arrives in
Reveille that friday evening.
The return trip will be made by
leaving Reveille Monday morning and
arriving here Tuesday evening. The
fare between Tonopah and Reveille
will be $40 and between Tonopah and
Clifford Sc. The Tonopah office will
be above the "Celtic" on Florence av-
enue, Mr.. Reischke having purchased
this property this week through the
R. S. Moore Co. This will certainly
prove a, popular stage line, and Mr..
Reischke's enterprise is to be com
mended.
