PUSHING WORK ON NEW MILL

to be closed down for several days the
mill could be kept in operation.
Arrangements have been made by Mr..
Lockhart to pipe water to the reservoir
from several shafts in the district. 1t
will require four miles of pipe to con-
meet these up The water will be used
over and over again, SO that there is
little danger of a shutdown ever occur
ring from this cause.
The tests of the ores showed that
there are more cyanicides in Florence
rock than in any other ores in the dis
trict. They are chiefly copper and
arsenic. The result will be that the
cyanides must be handled quickly in
order to avoid reprecipitation. The
sands and shines will not be separated.
The mill will be operated very eco
nomically. Four men TO shift and two
extra men, fourteen in all. are all that
will be required. The cost Of the plant
will exceed 100000.
The Florence mine is not working at
present, but will start up in few days,
or weeks at most. There is quantity
of ore blocked out in the property suf-
ficient to keep the mill running five
years without any further development
work being done. There is also an I'M
mense tonnage on the dumps that can be
handled at great profit.
The cost Of extraction will be little
under IS a ton and the percentage saved
will exceed 90. This will make $40 ore
quite profitable.

EXTENSIVE PLANS FOR
FLORENCE DEVELOPMENT

The campaign of development entered
upon by the Florence Mining company
is the most extensive undertaken IN
Goldneld. 1t has been begun most Wig
orously and the expenditure OF money
already made in preliminaries assures
the contamination of the entire plan.
Tom Lockhart gives the News the fol-
lowing exclusive interview on the COM
pany's plans. which Is succeeded by
description of the mill. obtained from
the constructing engineers:
I'VE have the timbers on the ground
for a seventy-foot gallows frame. which
will be erected at once. A concrete bed
is being laid To-. the engine and COM
pressors. At first we will use a seventy
five horse power electric hoist. but will
change to 200-horse power as soon as
the work advances far enough to tax the
smaller hoist. The compressor will de-
velop air for thirty or forty Wonder
drills
"The Florence company shaft Is now
down $50 feet. We will at once sink
it deeper and cut the first station at
the 400. Then we will begin to explore
the ground in most thorough fashion.
"a drift or crosscut--it's hard to
say which II will be. because II will
drift on one vein system and crosscut
another--will be run 700 feet northwest
erly TO connect NJ sIther the Lindsay
OF Riley shafts. and probably both. One
of these shafts will be deepened to make
connection.

NEW OIL FIELDS LOOK GOOD

velopment company. Without shooting
it will easily produce 100 barrels day.
The drill was sent down only 610 feet,
where 1t pierced the first oil stratum.
The oil quickly rose in the well to
height of 100 feet. I have no doubt that
a gusher OF tremendous proportions
could be developed by sending the bore
down to the second and larger stratum.
The drilling. however. viii not be re-
sumed until the tankage is in position.
There are now 23 rigs on the ground
and twenty more are on the road. A
forest of derricks will shortly appear
on the banks of the Virgin river.
Associated with Mr.. Aldridge and
myself are Bond & Co. and Frank Bon
neau. BY the way, the company that
brought in the well is Rhyolite con-
Germ Nevada is certainly getting in on
the ground floor. A pipe line will
shortly be surveyed and the oil brought
by gravity to Moapa, a station on the
Clark road in Nevada. 1t is only 80
miles from the field to a station on
branch of the Western Pacific road. A
railway could be easily built into the
district.
Virgin City. the center OF the new
field, is a Mormon community. where
agriculture is extensively practiced and
where fruit in abundance is produced.
There is no doubt that this will prove
to be a wonderful field as there is no
question as to the amount of oil that
can be developed. The quality is also
EXCELLENT. the base being paraffine."

The Florence mill will be not only the
model ore reduction plant OF Goldheld.
but will be the most efficient cyanide
mill in Southern Nevada. This is the
opinion of both Tom Lockhart and the
builders, and they certainly ought to
know.
The mill is rapidly assuming proper
tions. The massive foundations are
completed and the superstructure is be-
ing raised One hundred and eighty by
one hundred feet are the dimensions OF
the structure. 1t is situated at the
mouth of the company shaft on the
northeast slope of Red King hill.
Above it is reservoir now almost
completed. 1t has a capacity of $4,000
gallons and is lined with cement, five
carloads of material being used Tor the
reservoir and the mill foundation.

'The Virgin River OIL field promises to
become the greatest in the west" This
is the opinion expressed to News rep
resentative by II. ID. MacMasters, who,
in company with Don c. Aldridge, re-
turned to Goldfield this week after in
specting the new strike.

up to within 600 feet of the original we'll

velop our property.

prise to us. 1t is such to everyone who
visits it. The area that shows Oil indi-
cations is so enormous and the indica-
tions are so strong. Where erosion has
created bluffs the stratihcation can be
easily studied and the oil seepages OBJ

The main shaft on the Happy Hunch
property in the eastern section Of the
district. on which a strike was made
several weeks ago. is down $50 feet. A
station Is being cut at this point and a
crosscut will be started at once to catch
the ledge. which 1t is expected will be
reached inside of thirty days. Two
leases are being operated on the Happy
Hunch ground by the Lucky Hunch
Leasing company. One of the shafts is
down 35 feet and some good looking
rock has been encountered.
In the same section the Francis King

ing continues. The property is equipped
with a gasoline hoist.
The King Leopold is also sinking a
shaft which is now down so feet. Sew

1t looks as though the differences be-
tween the miners and the Goldfeld
Consolidated Mines company would be
settled today and the men who walked
out of the Mohawk and Combination
mines three weeks ago, will probably
be at work again by Monday morning.
Negotiations for a settlement were re-
sumed early in the week and tentative
agreement reached by General Manager
J. w. Finch and Attorney w. H. Bryant
of the Consolidated and a committee rep
resenting the miners union. The agree
ment has been approved by Senator
Nixon and George Wingfeld and spec
ial meeting of the miners union will
be held this afternoon to pass upon IT.

tically identical with the agreement
which was rejected by the union a week
ago The company has made some con-

opment of the mine is a credit to the
management.
The Tonopah Mining company con-
tinues sending out big shipments. and
the mill at Millers is going night and
day. There were 1850 tons sent to the
smelter last week. and 2,420 tons to the
mill. 1t is evidently not the lack of ore
that is sending the price of the stock
downward. and eastern people have
found a reason in the coming Of par

But they will have to look farther
than this for the reason Of the decline.
The railroad has not vet been paralleled
from the south to Goldfield, and it will
be many day before the Clark road
comes into Goldfield. In the meantime,
the Smith road is coming only as far as
Beatty, where it will connect with the
Brock road. This will make Los An
geles 30 miles nearer to Tonopah by the
Santa Fe. Smith and Brock roads.
General Superintendent ]. r. Hedden
and Traffic Agent Forster of the Tono-
pah and Golfield road went to Los An
geles early this week. and their mission
in the south was to make the necessary
trafic arrangements with the Tonopah
and Tidewater road. The latter will be

the Red King company's lease on the
Florence The shaft Is down 200 feet
and developments are progressing In
four directions.
The drifts and crosscuts are all de-
veloping quartz in large quantities but
no high values have been obtained. 1t
is believed by the management that the
shaft is not deep enough to get the de-
sired enrichment. although work will be
continued on the present level in search
of the values that enter so rapidly the
lodges in Florence ground. The forma-
tion in this lease is almost proof posi-
tive of the development of shipping ore.
Work will shortly begin on third lift.

materially as soon as the new equip

The shaft is now down 400 feet and
will be sent to double that distance with
all speed. Very little water has thus
far been encountered. 1t is believed
that the dyke that produced some ship
ping and a large quantity of milling ore
in the superficial! workings will be cut in
the next 100 feet. More than $500 feet
