PROSPECTIVE SHELTER FOR
THE BULLFR0G DISTRICT

If-and thereby hangs a tale!
If John w. Brock and associates take
over the Tecopa Consolidated lead
mines. and there is every reason to be-
,ieve that they will. the Bullfrog dis
trict will get a 1,o0o-ton smelter' ior
that is the principal part of the pro-
gram.
This information was not volunteered
by the Tecopa management, but was
given to the Herald by a prominent MIN
ing man whose integrity is not ques-
toned in Nevada.
Recently James L. Freeburn made an
extensive examination of the Gunsight
and MONDAY mines of the Tecopa estate
for Mr. Brock and his Philadelphia and
New York crowd. Upon his report VIII
depend the contamination OF the ueai
for the control of the mines and the
success of the big scheme which VIII
mean so much for Southern NeNaua
mining interests and the commonwealth
in general.
The Herald is informed that the one
feature on which the deal hinges is the
question of ore onnag The Tecopa
mines are shipping regularly about 100
tons of ore per day. which output Is
being gradually increased as teams can
be secured. and the company is getthg
the ore treated at Salt AXE at a inquire
which is insignificant in comparison 70
the usual rate charged, the lead values
for huxing purposes making ms rare
possible. The returns show that Ieeopa
ores are running from Is TO 30 per cent
lead. and from 10 to 25 per cent IRON.
If the Tocopa mines can be dependee
upon for $50 tons daily. the smeiter
~nroiect will be feasible. Su~perintend-
emf Jerry O'Rourke has recently made
the statement that within six months
time. a daily output of 500 tons VIII De
possible from the MONDAY alone ana
With an output of one-half that ca
pacity from the Gunsight, the required
tonnage would be met.
The Teecpa company is making every
| effort to open new ground and further
explore the big ore bodies exposed. with
a view of making as great a production
as possible.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-11-02

The smelter proposition is being con-
sidered in the strictest business sense,
so the Herald is informed. and the plan
Is to make Beatty the smelling center
for the silicious ores from the Tonopah,
Goldheld. Bullfrog and other districts,
with the Tecopa mines as the principal
source of the lead ores. The town of
Beatty has been selected as the site,
owing to the abundance of water and
the excellent railroad facilities. three
railroads leading into the town from
all parts of the producing territory.
Another part or the program is to
build a 500-ton concentrated at Tecopa.
which would be an important factor in
connection with the smelter project.
If this scheme is consummated. It
will mean the investment Of from three
to -four millions Of dollars. A smelter
of 1000 tons daily capacity Will cost
h 81. 500 900. n the mpa
needs fully an equal amount of capital
for fuel supply and ore purchases. il
is plainly to be understood that If the
Beatty smelter is built, ii will be on a
gigantic scale, as the present output
from Tonopah. Goldheld and Rhyolite
alone would require a plant of no mean
capacity.
To just what extent a local smelling
would stimulate the opening Of
the numerous lead prospects in this
part of the country is difficult to pre-
diet, but with the immense leao-silver
showings in the Funeral and Grape
vine ranges. in the Bare mountains and
i'm the old Gold Mountain district. near
Bonnie Glare. II Is a fair prediction to
say that every streak Of lead ore for
a hundred miles In all directions would
be worked 10 the limit. resulting in a
large local production. In some Of
these lead-siIver prospects commercial
ore bodies have already been developed
Neither Mr.. Oyerbury nor Mr.. McMa-
hon of the Tecopa company would talk
for publication concerning the smelter
project as noted above. II has been
previously published, however, that Mr.
Brock had serious intentions of taking
over the control Of the mines. although
the smelter project. as o part OF the
scheme. had not been given out.-Rhye-
lite Herald.

THE MILLxMc PLANTS

Work on the three milling plants was
not hampered during the financial
crisis, employees standing pat with mill
arrangements and signifying their in
tention to continue their labors until
such time as the latter were In position
to meet the pay roll. This action on
part of the men is thoroughly appre-
ciated by the several mill arrangements
as being Indicative of unity of purpose
and amity of feeling between employer
and employe. However. pone of the
men will nave to wait for their wages
as arrangements hay been made to
nav off on November 10. The funds of
the Nevada Milling d Ore Purchasing
and of the Canyon Milling

however, that the greater portion of the

Taul and partners leasing on the Joker
estate have driven a crosscut tunnel a
length of 200 feet into the hill and In its
face is showing a quartz stringer that
yields a fair string of colors to the pan.
The general appearance of the rock now
being penetrated would indicate that a
ledge was not far distant. The purpose
of this tunnel is to tap a series of lodges
which at surface and at nominal depth
have yielded high gold values. In the
early days of the camp ~lessees shipped

The present week has witnessed the
breaking of ground for another milling
plant in the Bullfrog district.
Within a few hundre feet of where
the Bullfrog Gold Bar mill is being
erected. a crew of men are now digging
trenches and preparing for the laying
of the foundation for a 10O-ton mill on
the Homestake-King property.
The machinery for the plant has been
ordered and the work of erecting the
buildings and installing the equipment
will be pushed with all possible speed.
Water for the mill has been developed
about five miles from the mine by sink
ing a well.
The tests on the ore, which nave re-
Gently been made in San Francisco, gave
returns on the carload shipment of $25
to the ton. the values being principally
in gold. The ore is ideally free milling.
and will require only the amalgamation
and cyanide processes of reduction. The
tests show that fully So per cent of the
values can be saved.
The development of the lower levels
of the Homestake is decidedly encourage
ing and more than meets the expecta-
tons of the management. On the 400
foot level, about 800 feet of drifting has
been accomplished. all of which is in an
excellent grade of ore. A crosscut on
the 400 level shows the quartz to be
so feet in width at a point near the
shaft. and all of this immense width
may be broken for the mill.
On the 500 level. the ore has recently
been developed in prosecuting from the
shaft, and the showing up to date is
even better than had been looked for by
the interested parties. Enough work TO
demonstrate what may be expected on
this level has not as yet been done. but
stake has shown a decided improvement
in values. it is predicted that the drifts
on the 500 will produce some sensational
developments.
The Homestake-King estate is GER
tainly one of the most promising pieces
of mineral land in the state of Nevada,
and well informed persons do not hest
tate to predict that it will eventually
become one of the largest and most
profitable producers in the Common
wealth.

dent S. d. Milan and Manager Con

misplaced is evidenced by the fact that

here from Elko with s50.0 900 in gold. No
run upon this bank was imminent at any
period of the financial stringency. In
fact, new deposits were in excess of

cradle pride to the residents of Man

in the camp not taking advantage of the

it's support wholly from local money and
being independent of other banks either
