CRACKERJACK, Jan. 26.-The latest

by far the greatest one that has ever
been made in that mine, and IN Iac1
the most important that has occurreu

N RACKERJA OK, Jan. ga new
plan for treating the medium
grade ores of the Bonanza mine
was decided OH last week, when the
managemer concluded to make the
experiment OF having ore milled at
Victorviile in the Lewis mill, which
has been recently remodeled. The first
shipment of two carloads of $50 ore
will leave Silver Lake for the mill this
week, and should the run prove sue
cessful, doubtless others win continue
to follow until such time as the Bon
ANA mountain mill is built.
A rate of SAFE has been secured from
the railroad to Victorville and treat
ment charges will probably be as much
more, allowing a good profit on the
milling grade ore OF the Bonanza mine.
This is thu first ore to be sent from
either Bonanza or Crackerjack to any

GOLDEN scEPTER is TO
HAVE NEW STAMP MILL

BULLFROG, AIN. 25.-A stamp mill
for the Golden Scepter is the latest
piece of good news to be made public
and one of the most important of the
week. The project has gone beyond the
prospective stage as all arrangements
have been completed, and work will be
started in a short time. Contracts have
been signed and the plant is to be COM
pleted within six months.
The mill will be modern in every re-
spect and will start with daily capa-
city of not less than fifty tons. The
Golden scepter was one of the first
properties located in this part of the
Bullfrog district, and for three years
thew have worked almost necessarily,
through good times and bad, accom-
plishing about $500 feet of develop
ment work In shafts and tunnels.

The proceeds of the bond sale viii

All told about 5000 feet of develop

Originally the property was pur-
chased by the late >. H. Perry and

been 100000. 1t was bought for its

sensation in the camp and the men
came in from the hills, attracted by
the reports of the find, and there has
been nothing else talked of since. The
