it goes to a 16-inch bucket elevator
and is discharged onto four Traylor
centripact screens. the undersize OF
the screen being carried to six
screens equipped with 30-mesh cloth.
The over size of the 20-mesh screen
is taken to a six-foot Chilian mill.
After passing through this wonderful
piece of machinery the pulp is ele-
waited by two sand pumps to the six
screens above mentioned. The feed
is divided into ten sizes, with every
thing finer than 20 and coarser than
80 going directly to 10 Willy tables.
The under size, or that feed that is
finer than 80 mesh, is carried to two
SpiiZkatzens and the surplus water
is drawn off for further use in the
mill and the pulp is drawn down to
a proper consistency to make suffi-
cient feed for 10 Willy tables, which
make 3S tables on the first floor,
driven by the 140-horse power en-
CINE. The middlings from all the
tables are reiterated on four Willy
tables, situated on the lower floor.
All fine dust and shines are re-
treated by six 6-foot Fru-Vanners.
Owing to the scarcity of water
every practical method has been en-
ployed to save and return all the
water possible for use again in the
mill and for that purpose the Tray
lor Engineering company are estab-
fishing a Traylor device which will
deposit into cars the coarSer tailings,
with not to exceed 15 per cent moist
ure. BY this arrangement the man.
agement hopes to use rs per cent of
the water over again. The ore SO
treated is taken from the tables and
put into bins ready for the smelter.
There are 100000 feet of lumber in
the mill, which is constructed on the
latest and most approved plans of
modern mills. The mill is intended
to do the work it was built to do in
the most thorough and economical
manner.
This plant is only the first unit of
plant that is expected to handle
1000 tons of ore every "a hours.
Every protection against fire has
been provided for by the installation
of 6-inch water mains leading from
a big reservoir on top of the GirOux
hill to the mill, connecting with g.
inch MIGRANTS on every floor.
Mr.. Fryberger started the frame
work on Christmas day of last year
and the work he has accomplished
since that time is almost phenome-
nal. The winter was a hard one, but
the work has gone on under Mr.. Fry
berger's direction in fair weather
and foul and today the mill is about
ready for operating one unit of one
of the best plants ever constructed
in the west.
About 1000 feet distant from the
concentrator has been constructed a
$50 ton smelter, as complete as a
smelter can be made, connected by
the high line railroad with all the
shafts of the Giroux properties and
we'll adapted for handling all the ore
from the several mines and the con-
centrates from the mill. The COM
pany has under construction dust
chamber 100 feet long by 10 feet in
the clear for the purpose of collect
ing all the finer particles of mineral
that are carried off in the gases,
which will be re-smelted.
The grade for the railroad ore line
is about completed, the engine is on
the rail and the ore cars are in tran
sit and expected in few days. About
one-third of the track for the ore
line has been laid and everything is
being pushed as fast as is possible
in order to have the entire plant in
operation before next winter makes
fires a luxury.
1t is expected that the Nevada
Northern will be completed to KIM
berley by September list.
The ore body in sight in the Gil
roux properties is simply marvellous
and the work on the surface shows
that when the company gets into full
swing with all of its vast holdings
that it will take up room in Robin
son canyon second to no other COM
pany operating, il indeed it Is not
the leader.
The GirouX company will pump
water from the Magnuson ranch on
Steptoe creek for distance of eoght
miles to Kimberley to supply the
smelter and concentration and the city
that will soon be built on the Knob
with water. There is ore enough in
the Giroux Alpha shaft alone to JUS
tify any prediction that may be made,
even by the most optimistic.
The GirouX company has store,
boarding house, bunk houses, black
smith and machine shops, stables,
ETC., for the carrying on of great
mines. The company is employing
at present about 800 men.

off by o. e. Mann of Ely and the
streets have all been named. but as
