PAYS VISIT TO G0LDFIELD

and richest ore bonanzas ever found in
the Belcher and Crown Point, on the
Con. Virginia. California and other mines
in that famous camp were at depths of
1850 to 1000 feet, and the mines of
Goldield will without doubt continue
to great depth and rival, possibly ex-
eeed in richness, the deep workings of
the Comstock Lode
Mr.. Keith was greatly surprised at
the growth of Goldfeld since his first
visit and remarked particularly, on the
excellence of the hotels, the beautiful
and substantial business and public
buildings, the residences, and the new
Montezuma club where he was hospit-
ably entertained.
In company with j. Z. Kcelyn. Fred
Siebert and William Babeoek, the W
latter being friends of many years
standing, Mr.. Keith was taken in Mr..
Keelyn's Daracq for a whirl oveE the
city and through the camp. Mr.. Keith
is. next to Senator Clark, perhaps the
richest mining man in the country,
owning, with former United States Sen
alter Kearns of Utah, the famous Silver
King mines in Park City, the greatest
silver-iead property in the world,
which has paid dividends for years and
still continuing to pay, at the rate Of
$780, 900 per month. He was one of the
builders Of the San Pedro road from
Salt Lake to Los Angeles and is among
the heaviest holders Of the securities.

The plant of the Nevada Milling and
known as the Lemon mill, was turned

The work of remodeling the mill will
begin at once and the new manage

David Keith of Salt Lake City, one
Of the foremost mining men of Utah,
whose name is well and most favorably
known all over the world in mining and
financial circles, arrived in Goldficld
Tuesday. With him was Matt Connally,
for more han twenty years superin-
tendent of the great Ontario mine at
Park City. Utah. Mr.. Keith has been
making a tour of inspection of his
vast mining interests in Nevada, which
are well distributed over the state,
coming here from Tonopah. This is Mr..
Keith's second visit to Goldfeld, his
first dating from "just before the big
fight as he expresses it, but it will be
by no means his last as he has exten.
sive investment interests in the camp
and will probably acquire more in the
near future.
Inauiring for The News his views of
Goldfeld, its present status, its past
performances, and it's assured future.
Mr.. Keith said: "Thcre is only one
story of this most wonderful of all gold

Rhyolite. New, July 2.-The most
important news item Of the week is
the starting of the 25-stamp mill at the
Homestake- King. The plant has been
tested and should be under full head
way most any day. Every piece of the
machinery worked to perfection, the
plant acting more like IN old-timer than
a novice. The battery bins are full,
and the mine is producing about 100
tons of ore per day. According to
mill tests. the ore should run about $50
a ton in gold. President Milan and
Director A.. s. Dingee. who were here
this week. asserted that if the project
proves as successful as anticipated, the
capacity of the mill will be increased
to 60 stamps, and perhaps 100 stamps,
within a year. The mine is developed
extensively to the 500 level, and has a
shoot of ore on the 300 level that is
said to be $50 feet in length with pay
ore all the way. The mill is a steel
structure. on concrete and solid rock
foundations. and is as near freproof as
possible. The system of extraction in
cludes amalgamation from batteries
and tube mills and cyanide. Provision
has been made for a concentration moor
in case tables are ever needed.
General Manager Kirchen of the
Shoshone and Tonopah Extension mines
admitted this week that the Sehwab in
~terests are contemplating seriously the
enlargement of the Shoshone mill, which
has a capacity of about 300 tons, for
the treatment of Tonopah Extension
ores. The mill is now treating about
IT'S tons a day.
Ore running 5000 is being sacked
from the $50 level in the Denver of the
Tramp Consolidated estate. The pay
streak is from 10 to Is inches in width,
in a strong ledge of milling values. The
values run from $3.50 to $500 a ton, so
the estimated average of 5000 is not
far out of the way.
At a depth of 2s2 feet, the Bullfrog
West Extension is developing a fine

Convinced of its permaneney and re-
alizing it's great possibilities, a coterie
of Goldfeld and San Francisco capital
lists and mining men, headed by Walter
d. O'Brien, a well known and success
operator of Goldfeld, is laying
plans for the erection of a twenty
stamp custom mill in the Seven Troughs
district. While the plans have not
thus far taken definite shape, it is
that they have progressed suf-
icicntly far to make it certain that the
project will be carried into execution.
Mr.. O'Brien arrived in the district
the early part of last week. He spent
a number of days in making a thorough
inspection of the various properties and
leases, especially those with extensive
showiugs of milling ore. He thoroughly
acquainted himself with the conditions
throughout the district, and gave con
siderable of his time to studying the
success of the recently completed mill
ing plants of the Seven Troughs Kin
dergarten Mining company, in the town
of Seven Troughs, and the Mazuma
Hills Mining company, in the town OF
Mazuma.

and resultant rich discoveries, there IS

MOST ANCIENT coNDIMENT.

Mustard is the most ancient Of
condiments. The Egyptians regard
ed it as an aid to digestion. The
Asians ate it freely. 1t was sold by
reddlers in Soloman's time Christ
likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a
mustard seed. The Normans and An
glo-Saxons in the earliest times never
went to war without an ample supply
of prepared mustard. 1t was their
food and medicine. The plant seems
to thrive in all parts of the world,
and is eaten by every civilized ma
ton, and many heather tribes, either
as a spring salad (the young leaves
are most delicious) or a seasoning
from the ground seed.
