DONALD GILES
FLYING VISIT
THE BUSY REPRESENTATIVES, OF
CHAs. NJ. H w HERE
BUT A DAY.

Donald B. Gillies, president of the
famous Montgomery Shoshone and of
the Tonopah Extension, and the rep
resentative of Charles NJ. Schwab
in Nevada, arrived here yesterday
morning, and was away again ON last
nights train for Reno and the East.
A very busy man is Mr.. Gillies,
and he does the work of several men
in a day; he has to, to get through
with it all. He came here from Los
Angeles, stopping on the way at
Beatty to inspect the mines of the
Shoshone syndicate. He is still en-
raptured with his old time fayorite
mine, the Montgomery S%hoshone,
more SO, if anything. because it is
turning out better each day.
you can say for me-" said Mr..
Gillies, that in my opinion, the
Montgomery Shoshone is the greatest
mine in the entire state. We are
shipping, yes a little; a carload a
week, but we do not consider that
anything. We are getting ready for
the mill, which will be put into OPP
Grafton just as soon as we can get
the necessary material on the
ground. We would have been ready
to go ahead long ago, were it not
for the delays caused by the floods
in Pittsburg and the washouts on the
Salt Lake road.
But at the latest l think we will
be getting action within sixty days
and then we will make up for lost
time. We are getting the ore sorted
out for shipment, and also for the
mill, and when we get in shape, you
will see something in the way of
production that will surprise you"
Mr.. Gillies is due in Pittsburg on
the Goth, when there will be a meet
ing of the directors of the Tonopah
Extension. Asked as to whether at
that time the question of putting up
a mill for the Extension would be
taken up, he said that it would.
Yes said Mr.. Gillies, there will
be considerable business to be tran
sacted at that meeting. We will de-
termine the matter of the mill, which
we have had under consideration for
some time, and 1 have no doubt that
we Will decide to put up a hundred
stamp mill"
"How about the Golden Anehor?'
he was asked.
I'VE will resume work there with.
out a doubt, and the time for open.
ing up will be determined during my
trip East. You know, of course, thai
there has been a consolidation of the
Golden Anchor with the Midway Elk
tension, and there are some matters
to be settled in that connection, after
which we will get to work. There is
no doubt as to what the Golden An.
Choir will turn out to be, for it is
pretty well established that we have
the ore there"
Mr.. Gillies stated that he would
be back here between the 1st anC
9th of June. when he will remain
in the camp until September. HI
has been away from here, with the
exception of the flying visit he mad
ten days ago, for several months. Hi
time, during his absence, was spen
pretty well in the East, but princi
pally in old Mexico, where he hal
obtained extensive mining interest,
for himself, Schwab and Malcolm
Macdonald.
All this while work has beer
pushed forward on the Montgomery
Shoshone under the able direction o.
General Manager Bryce Turner, ant
upon the Tonopah Extension under
the more than competent jurisdiction
of Mr.. John Kirchen. All the Sehwal
properties in this section of the coun
try are in the best of condition, ant
Mr.. Gillies goes back East well salts
fed with the situation.
