PROSPECTS were
never MORE ROSY
WHAT PUBLISHER OF RHYoLITE
HERALD HAS TO SAY OF
SOUTHERN COUNTRY.

VI - AANAAANf &AAAfRA NhN go
ern country this morning. He says
that the prospects for Rhyolite lever
were more rosy, and that there is any
amount of work going on in and
about the mines.
1.-THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. mill is
practically finished" said Mr.. Glenn
ems, land all that is delaying the
commencement of operations is the
arrival of the power from the Ne
vada Power company. In converse
ton with Malcolm Macdonald the
other day, that gentleman said that
there would be a million dollars taken
out of the mine within the year after
the mill started. The mill will also
do some custom work, and there is a
probability of enlarging the plant to
enable 1t to handle the output of the
Tonopah Extension of this camp.
This, l understand, depends upon the
ability of the Extension people to get
rdtSS from the railroad.
"The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. people
have plenty OF water at their COM
mand, and they are now piping it In
to the mill, and have lots more to de-
velop. Their investments will reach
in the neighborhood of 100000; so
there is no doubt of their ability of
getting all the water that may be
needed.
THE Tramps Consolidated OF
which Senator eddie is president, has
expended at least $4,000 on their
ranch for the development of water
for the mill which they have in con.
temptation. They are doing consid-
cradle work on the Tramps' proper
ty. They are prosecuting on the 200
below the fourth tunnel, which would
probably be a depth of 500 feet YER
tically, for the rich ore shoot which
has been opened up on the various
levels of the winze; and which. il
fact, they have had from the surface
They expect to get ore this week from
this crosscut.
THE Gold Bar people have started
work on the pipe line, and the ma
chinery for the 10-stamp mill wa'
shipped from San Francisco som,
days ago. This is expected on tbs
ground at any time, and will be onl!
the unit for a larger mill, fort!
stamps or more.
THE Homestake people are devel
oping a very satisfactory flow o
water close to the Gold Bar we'll
and the officials of the company ar,
expected on the ground early mex
week to make final arrangements 70
the 40-stamp mill, which is to b
erected. They have opened up or
on the 400 level for a distance of go
feet.
THE Mayfower has opened up a.
ore shoot on the 300 level for a dis
lance of $50 feet. and 1t is said to b
extremely rich. They are now sink
ing for the 400 level.
