The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-03-07

Manhattan. New. March b-From
time to time In these dispatches stress
has been laid upon the fact that not
withstanding the constant operation of
three milling plants here that the de-
mand for ore reduction Is greatly in ex-
cess of present facilities. and ever of
those which will become operative with
the doubling of their stamping capacity.
Now comes co~rroborative evidence of
the tenabiIity of the off repeated asser-
ton of your correspondent in the an
nouncement that the Thanksgiving man.
agement contemplates the erecting of a
company mill, the avowed cause being
the inability of local mills to reduce
Thanksgiving ores. or TO any extent re-
lieve the ore congestion at that prop
erty. Report has II that the Thanks
giving people are negotiating with a
Salt Lake City manufacturing firm for
the establishing at its mine of a mill
ing and concentrating plant having a
daily ore reduction capacity of 25 tons.
II Is further announced that the manu-
featuring firm in question will deliver
a plant that will successfully reduce ore
holding as low a gold content as IS the
ton. II the firm makes rood Its state
ment there will be no lack Of IS ore at
the mine with which to keep the stamps
busy. From upper to lower level the
mine is filled with medium grade ship
ing. high grade milling. medium grade
milling and low grade milling ores.
There Is no question but what this mine
alone can keep a 10-stamp mill con-
stantly supplied with quartz.
The urgent. necessity for additional
ore treating facilities is as apparent at
the Consolidated mine as at the Thanks
giving; more so in fact. as the property
is more thoroughly developed-not TO as
great depth. but in the matter of ore in
light; which is after all the most
cogent d~esideratum. Just at present an
outlet for Consolidated ores Is found
at the plant Of the Manhattan Ore Re-
duction & Refining company. but thai
source will be damned upon the explra-
ton of the prevailing ore reduction con-
tract, as subsequently the mill VIII
treat none save ores from the stray Dog.
Indian Camp and Jumping Jack mines
held under 5-year lease tenure by the
gentlemen backing the milling enter
prise. 1t is therefore altogether likely
that the Consolidated people will have
erected a reduction plant of their own
prior to the date when the last con-
signment of the 10000 tons of ore to be
treated at the Mustang hill mill has
gone to stamp. In fact tentative plans
to that end were considered some time
since. but whether they have been
further advanced in the interim
then and now is a subject known only to
- s-to~oetaH nartfaa Rnm0r DeTS1St-
entity has il that the Consolidated mill
is a certainty before fall. and the Con-
solidated management is content to let
rumor run it's course. neither affirming
or denying it's gossiping.
Since the late of initial run on ore
about two weeks ago-the 6-foot Hunt
ington at the plant of the Canyon Mill
ing company of Manhattan has turned
out bullion to the value of approx
mately 1000 per day. This gold has
been saved without recourse to cyanid-
ing. the material for that department
having but recently arrived at the mill
1t is now being installed. The final con-
signments of 800 tons of ore from the
O'Brien-La Lime lease on the Union NO.
4 claim Of the Union Extension Mining
company are now being treated. In ad-
vance of returns from the mint 1t IS
we'll to estimate the gold value of this
quartz at about s25 the ton. The
primal run at this plant consisted of 40
tons of rock from the Plamanaz lease on
Union No. 9 that is reputed to have
Welding an average of $40 gold the ton.
Following the Plamanaz consignment,
so tons of high grade from the Mac
ar,o- yaoco on fha Straw Dos were
treated. The third run was on SO tons
Of wolftone ore. the values saved on
the plates being in excess of $50 gold
the ton. Nearly 1000 tons of like grade
are piled on wolftone dump pending OPP
portunity for reduction.
A few days ago the second consfgn-
