date Judge Langan has ordered the
Goldfeld Townsite company to show

HYDRAULIC
MINING AT

The Round Mountain Hydraulic Min
ing company is spending 10000 for
pipe line and water, preparatory to the
commencement of the most unique
method of mining that Nevada has ever
seen. AS a rule the deserts of Nevada
have very little water and the mining
regions of the state have no more than
enough for mining and domestic pur-
poses. Placer gold is also very rare in
Nevad therefore Round Mountain is to
have the first plant for hydraulic placer
mining in the state of many surprises,
and original possibilities. .
The pipe line will bring in over 400
miners inches of -water-enough for sew
eral Giants and plenty for the fumes
and sluices. The pressure will be
nearly 400 feet. enough to handle 400 to
500 tons of dirt every "a hours, with
each Pinch nozzle" There will be
nearly 6 miles of pipe line before the
several streams are gathered into the
main 16-inch line. which will be three
miles long to the placer working at the
base of Round Mountain.
The pipe has been arriving in record
breaking time and Frank Balbi Of Balbi

the pipe 65 miles from the railroad has
been making automobile time, S or 7

1t may not have occurred to the COM
placent New Yorker that the recent out
put Of the mines OF Tonopah and Gold
field means the existence there OF prop
erty of a value of three hundred mill
lions of dollars. This Is estimating the
value of the mines at only ten times the
amount OF what would be the annual
output should there be no further in
corruption from labor troubles. The
gold taken from those two camps up to
the end OF the week ending August Gath.
Just before the Goldfeld strike began,
amounted to 5000. 600 a week. This out
put was cut down the following week by
the walkout of the miners from the Mo-
hawk and the Combination. but when
the strike Is settled the production will
be resumed and the output will be great
err than ever. This means that Goldfield
and Tonopah together are enriching the
