The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1908-11-07

During the past week the Little
Giant mill has been enclosed in a sub
~stantial building and now presents
quite a mill-like appearance. As build
ing operations causes some delay, the
shipment from the Flyer has not as yet
been run. The mill has been kept busy
on ore belonging to Hart & Hit, which
had been shipped prior to the sale of
the property this week. The average
value is around 800 a ton.
AS soon as the erusher arrives all
classes of ore viii be handled, and will
obviate the necessity of screening, as is
now the case.-Hart Enterprise.

Transvaal district near Beatty, by Burt
& Hitchcock, while doing their annual
assessment work. This ledge is about

quite important to the district. An
other strike of Importance in the Beat

MANHATTAN STRAY DOG

Work is being carried on in the
Stray Dog that is proving more salts
factory every week. Enough ore is be-
ing taken from this property to keep
the Peterson mill running two shifts a
day, and also they are getting ore
ahead whereby in a very short time the
mill can be kept running full time. No
sensational values are being found at
present, but the ore taken out is able
to make a good profit for the leasers.
Some prospecting is being done on
the Indian Camp and Jumping Jack by
the same parties, and it is reported that
leads of milling ore have been discov-
cred.

TO USE CEMENT FOR ROOFING.
Leroy Fibre Co. Experimenting With
Cement On Creamery Roof. Using lts
Flax Felt for the Foundation.

Much interest is manifested in the
experiment which the Leroy Fibre
Cc. is making with cement for
roofing purposes. Some weeks ago
Messrs Hardin and Lappen conceived
the idea of using the fiax felt, which
the company manufactures. as q foun-
dation for q cement roof and to test
the proposition. Mr.. Hardin has had
such roof put on his creamery build.

or two ago and thus far the results
have been satisfactory.
In laying. the roof is first covered
with fax felt. the sheets being nailed
on securely. This is then given q
thorough soaking with water and CO.
ment is spread on while the felt is
wet On the creamery roof the ce-
ment was laid about half an inch
thick. The object in using the felt is
to give the cement q foundation
which has certain degree of elastic
ity and to keep the cement moist I'M.
til 1t sets. The felt being . non-con-
ductor Of heat and cold also adds to
the warmth Of the building and makes
it cooler in summer. Its ability to
give land take' as the cement con.
tracts and expands, it is thought. will
keep the cement from checking. and
it holds the cement firmly in place no
matter what the pitch Of the roof.
The inventors are not making any
claims for the new roofing process as
yet. They say only that it is An ex.
pertinent. but one in which they have
faith sufficient to warrant giving it a
thorough test. There is much yet to
be gained by experience both in the
character of the material to be used
and the method OF laying it.
When one considers what . perfect
cement roofing would mean to build
ers, there is almost no limit to the
benefits that will come to the parties
who can make such roofing and put 1t
on at reasonable figure. The Inde-
pendent certainly hopes that the
Fibre 90. will meet with success in
their experiments and be able by next
spring. when the effects Of frost on

Some years ago. when Iowa land
climbed to 500 an acre and above
that for choice. drst class land, there
were many critics within and with
ont the state, who sat up and took
notice. And they sounded the note
Of warning. And they spoke Of the
unnatural imitation of Iowa land
values. and advised everybody to get
out from under. For the bottom was
going to fall out, and the whole struc-
ture was going to collapse with that
"dull. sickening thud." with which
we are all familiar. And they began
to roost on the fences and to watch
for the catastrophe. and even in their
sleeping hours they had their ears
primed for that thud. They wanted
to be on the ground early to observe
the slaughter. And perhaps some Of
them wanted to be able to extend help
and comfort to some of those who had
been caught in the deba lie. Others
may have been impelled and possessed
Of by other motives. But, somehow,
there was no thud. And the values
continued to rise and as a rule the
owners did not merely manage to hold
on. but they paid their debts II they
had any and they grew prosperous

his produce to market. And the fel-
