Bar. Lotus announced that the pro

would be built at once, as the water
for the property already had been oo.
tanned at Mud Springs. According to
Loftus's statement. the new mill will
be operated by the Mud Springs water,
but as the Homestake already has
agreed TO take over the water from
the Ash Meadows company 1t Is prob
able that the Gold Bar viii follow the
example. The Gold Bar has a noun
tain of 81 ore that can be worked at

The planning of the Gold Bar mill
comes with the announcement that the

been thrown on the Eastern market
TO obtain money for the building of
the mill. With the building of the

there will be in operation or under con
sideratiou in the Bullfrog district the

The question that has been agitatine
the mill builders has been the difficulty
ot obtaining water for operation, but
the beginning of work on fhe Ash

solve the question, as water will be
run from the reservoir at the top of

trict where, a secondary pumping plant
may be installed to supply any of the

ter. The Ash Meadows company has
for its object the redemption of a great

no doubt that it Will build the system
