FOR INSTALLATION
OF ANOTHER MILL

Charles T. Snedekar OF Chicago,
who has devoted a great many years
to mining and milling, arrived in
Manhattan last week and has been
thoroughly inspecting the mines and
prospects in the district with a view
to installing in the camp a mill 10
handle the ores of the companies and
leasers operating here.
Mr.. Snedekar, when seen by a rep
resentative of the Mail, stated that
Manhattan not only has the tonnage
here for another mill, but that this
camp is destined in time, in his opil-
ion, to become one of the large pro-
ducers of the West. Among the prop
critics visited by HIM were the Con-
solidated and the Mustang. The Con-
solidated, he believes, is capable al
producing 100 tons of ore per da5 y,
from the start He stated that the
Mustang has the making of great
mine and that it will only be mat
ter of a short time when that weil
known property will have an eno"-
nous output of milling ore.
The mill which Mr.. Snedekar pre-
poses to install here will have daily
capacity of 100 tons, and he has sew
eral sites under consideration on
which to erect the plant. He left on
Monday for the coast and will return
to Manhattan in two weeks time. II
is likely that the mill will be und"r
course of construction by July 1st.--

CITY.

Tonopah is shortly to have another
business block on Main street. The
structure will be one story in height,
80 feet wide by 100 feet in depth,

tunities for a business investment IN
the State.
