is OPPOSED TO
EXTRA session
JUDGE RAY SAYS MAD ADVER.
TIsEMENT FOR THE
STATE.

Judge l.. O. Ray was here yester-
day from Rhyolite. and he is more
enthusiastic over the Bullfrog district
than ever. and that is saying a good
deal. While the district is not max
ing a great deal of noise. he says. i;
is not being embarrassed by lack OF
smelling facilities; but is sending the
bullion to the mint.
THE mines are looking better than
ever they did," said Judge Ray. THE
principal properties are all working
and everybody is feeling good. The
Smith road has been completed, CIV
ing us three roads into the district.
The financial stringency, which is be-
ing felt everywhere, has overlooked
us; but it has put everybody to work
taking out the bullion instead of sell
ing stock. We have mills in opera
ton, and there are more mills build
ing. The Homestake has just let
contract to Milliken for 100000, for
the construction of its mill; the ma
terial Is to be furnished by the Colo
RADIO Iron Works. The work of con-
structioh is to begin at once, and
three months, not more than four
months, at the latest, will see the
mill in operation.
The machinery for the Gold Bar
mill is in place, and the mill will be
ready to crush ore in forty days. The
Montgomery Shoshone mill is turn
ing out its allowance of from 1875 to
$50 tons day and will be running
to it's full capacity, with three shifts,
in thirty days. The mine at the pres
ent time is producing $125,0O0 to
$3.50, 700 a month. The mill for the
Gold Bullfrog, near the Mayfower,
has been shipped, and the work of
construction about to begin. The
mine has an immense body of high
grade milling ore.
''The 20-stamp mill of the Keane
Wonder is running night and day,
and it is claimed that there is from
| $25, 900 to 100000 month in bull
lion. The Mayflower people are con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of putting in
| 20-stamp mill on account of the re-
cent developments on the 500 level.
1t is proving to be one of the big
mines of the district. In fact all the
properties are showing better with
every foot of work that is being done.
| NfN matter of a 100-stamp custom
fmill is being seriously talked of in
Rhyolite. Several mill building COM
panies have expressed their willing
/ ness to put in the mill. il they can
get guarantee of 100 tons daily
This guarantee has already been
given by the Tramps, Gibraltar, Bull
frog, National Bank, Denver Annex
and others, and it looks as If the mill
would be a go.
1.-THE Lee district is looking bright
the showing being especially good on
the 200 level of the Hayseed, and the
rest Of the properties under develop
ment are showing up well.
Regarding the extra session l am
opposed to it being called. 1t would
be an extra expense to the state, and
it would not do any good The pres
ent law could not be improved in any
way. All taxpayers who can meet
their taxes by December 2, have six
months more in which to pay the
balance. The people who cannot do
this will be put on the delinquent list
and will have six months to recover
their property, and will have to pay
but 10 per cent. If they attempted to
borrow the money, it would cost
them at least 2 per cent a month, If
not more. For the last three years
we have been telling the world that
we have the greatest mines in exist
ence, and it would not be a very good
advertisement to tell the world at
this time that we can't pay our
| taxes
