(From our own Representative
Tonopah, May 2s.-work on the Mon
tana Tonopah mill IL progressing IA
mously. n when 1t Is completed. 1t In
claimed that It will be n Of the
most wonderful plants in the country.
The mill is a composite affair. designed
by +. L. Bosqui of San Francisco. one of
the greatest cyanide men in the United
States.
The best that can be furnished In the
country In the way of concentration and
cyaniding. has been included In a forty
stamp mill, and the saving that will be
made will be a fortune in itself. In
cyaniding, there are six Hendrix agita-
tors to be employed. which have been
put In under the personal supervision
of DR.. Hendrix. DR.. Hendrix left here
Thursday, and before going. he said
that by his system. there would be saved
at least ninety per cent Of the silver In
the Montana Tonopah ore. and all of the
gold.
The capacity of each a~gitator is thirty
Ave tons a charge. and from one to eight
charges can be made in a day. 1t Is
estimated that eight hundred tons q
day will be treated. DR.. Hendrix main
tains that any ore that can be ground
fine enough to leach in two, four. six or
eight days, can be treated by his sys-
tenn in two. four. six or eight hours.
The mill will pay for itself twice a year
in the saving OF horse power alone.
The Montana Tonopah has in the
n~eirhborhood Of $4,000 tons Of ore on
the dump, which will go anywhere from
ten dollars to fifteen dollars a ton. The
mine has not been shipping much ore
that went below eighty dollars q ton.
the rest going over on the dump.
The Montana has been shipping right
along, about six hundred tons a month.
They are at work on the 515-foot levels.
n are also working on the upper levels;
and the mine never looked better. The
mill. 1t is thought. provided there be
no further delay in the shipping OF
machinery, will be completed in about
sixty days, after which the output prom
ises to be something extraordinary.
The Tonopah Mining company still
continues its big shipments and will
for many years to come. There is moth
ing. though, in the report that there
is to be an additional 100 stamps to be
put into the big mill at Millers, for this
would necessitate the addition of a great
deal more machinery, and the company
does not see its way clear to do this
at present. This mill, with the one at
the Midway. will take care Of the pres
emit needs of the company.
John w. Brock. president Of the COM
pany: James 8. Austin. vice-president;
C. r. Miller, former vice-president and
still one Of the directors; r. H. Rush
ton, president Of the Fourth Street Ma
tional Bank, and one of the directors;
M. v. Cutter. president of the Lehigh
Valley; Thomas M. King, former presi-
lent Of the Baltimore and Ohio road were
all here during the week. and inspected
the big mine.
Mr.. Brock was the last of the party
to take his departure, leaving In his
private car Louise, on Wednesday night.
Before going he said that he paid but
little attention to the stock market, but
that the reasons for the decline were
apparent to any one who chose to study
the situation. The situation in San
Francisco, the tightness of none
throughout the east. labor troubles
were all contributary causes for the
weakened condition of the market.
Concerning the embargo on freight
for this section. Mr.. Brock said that
