RHYOLITE, New, Aug. 10. - The
Grent Western Mining, Milling & Re
duction Company, Colorado corpora
tion, Is completing arrangements for
the installation Of custom plant on
the southern slope OF Ladd Mountain.
It will have a daily capacity of 100
tons to begin with, which will be In
creased to 500 or 600 tons, according
to tonnage demands. The process used
country consists of crusher and rolls,
patent roaster and cyanide cylin-
ders and tanks. Scott Newcomer, ono
of the inventors of tho treatment, has
been in camp for several days, and
is thoroughly satisfied with the situa-
tion. He states that the machinery
has been ordered to await shipment
on the new plant within thirty days.
-Four months IS the extreme time set
for it's completion. Speaking of the
mineral deposits of the Bullfrog dis
trtct, Mr. Newcomer says;
"The immense bodies of Sl5 and
$50 ore are the greatest ] have ever
seen We stand ready TO treat S5 and
So ore at q profit, and when one con-
siders the great amount of higher grade
stopage, he can readily arrive at q
conclusion regarding this mineral Sec
tion.''
Jack Keane and Domingo Etchcr-
ran, joint owners of the keane Won
der, have sold the property for pri-
vate consideration through E. H. Wide
kind, superintendent of the National
Bank, to Homer Wilson and San Fran
cisco associates. a substantial first
payment has been made. but the en-
tire amount is not mentioned. 1t is
said to be large sum, however. Tho
new people state that a big reduction
plant will be installed and that ex-
tensive operations vii! shortly oe IN
uated in Death valley, twenty-five
miles south of Rhyolite. Twenty-Five
claims are included in the acreage, on
which over thousand feet of devel-
opment work has been done The hold

milling ore. 1t was located in 1904 by
Jack Keane, and is among the early
A phenomenally rich strike has just |
been made at the Daisy, situated IN
the Gold Bar section. Recently hoist
was installed and sinking operations
begun. At the 100foot point in the
shaft the vein was cut on its dip and
ore uncovered which it is estimated
will easily run $4,000 to the ton IN
gold. The entire bottom OF the shaft
is in ore, and there are two feet carry
ing the extremely rich ore. The vein
at this point is 100 feet wide.
Rhyolite people have incorporated |
under the laws of South Dakota the
Granite Contact Mines Company to de-
velop q group of seven claims recently
acquired in the Emigrant Springs dis
trict. The capitalization is a million
and a quarter shares, with 100000 in
the treasury. The property adioins
Bob Montgomery Skidoo, the original
Ramsey and Thompson strike, on the
north, and is said to have a surface
showing equal to it, Before closing
the deal the Contact people made a
thorough sampling Of the outcrop and
an average return of S42 to
the ton in gold. Selected samples went
into the hundreds Extensive develop
ment is soon to be undertaken. At the
Skidoo q pipe line twentyfour miles
in length is being laid to Telescope
peak to furnish a water supply, and
are being made to install
4 big milling plant. 1t is expected to
have the stamps dropping by Christ
mas.
Some very rich ore has just been
brought in from the Transvaal 1t
came from working near the surface
and gave a gold return of $565.20 to
ish silicified rhyolite. Fhe present Dian
Of development is to continue the cross
cut from the shaft to point where
the vein is found in place, and carries
the same high-grade material Values
are already beginning to come into the
face as the rich ground is being ap-
preached.
