When the new sampler is in operation
increased shipments from all the prop
critics mentioned are to follow. There
will then be no second handling of ore,
as from the elevators it will be trans
ferred into the sampler and from there
to the cars and dumped into freight cars
below.
Men and teams are now engaged in
grading for the spur which is to connect
the sampler with the main line of the
Goldfield railway. The point of con-
nection will be about 1000 feet north of
the depot. Work is being expedited as
much as possible and unless something
unforeseen takes places to prevent
cars will be shunted over the spur
within so days.
American Milling
Little is doing in the way of ore treat
ment at the plant of the American Mill

has been done since the plant was first
started up about four months ago. A
deal has been closed for the leasing of
the mill to C. S. Taylor, president of the
Red Top Mining company, the intention
being to utilize it for the treatment of
Red Top and Jumbo ores. The plant
comprises 4-stamp battery with Will
fey tables.

of much new machinery The plant is

of ore daily. The new stamps were put
in motion yesterday but it will be at
least two weeks before the tube mill is
in operation.

charge. During the past three months
the time has been devoted to expert
menting and to the installation of new
machinery which is expected to result
in a larger per cent of gold saving than
has heretofore prevailed. A contract has

which is now in the bins at the mill
