in authority in reference thereto. the de-
velopment of the f~abulously rich Seven
Troughs mine. the property of the Seven
Troughs Mining company, near vernon,
is being prosecuted more vigorously
han ever before. and were the manage
ment so disposed and smelters inclined
to handle such ore. shipments could be
made at this time that would prove sur
prising to even the most sanguine beliey-
ers in the future of the district.
A peep into the ore house alone, not
mentioning sight of the ore awaiting
extraction in the various workings OF
the famous mine, would convince the
most skeptical observer that the COM
pany need not concern itself in the least
for a long period as to the lingering
depression in money circles. which, for
tunately for others, is gradually lifting.
The structure. which. by no means. is
small, is almost filled with sacked ore,
only enough space being left to permit
Of the ore assorters to move about By
filled stacked from the floor TO the
ceiling, is meant. And it is ore that if
good for sore eyes TO behold. And In
various workings of the mine will be
found sacked ore of like picture value
The company has never had much to
say relative to the policy it is following
in opening up its great s~torehouse OF
wealth. However. miners are kept busy
in the various workings of the mine and
as the development goes on, its size as
a bonanza increases. 1t is learned that
within the next sixty days, sinking will
be resumed in the shaft, which is now
down about $50 feet. 1t is the plan,
it is understood. to sink to a depth OF
at least 1000 feet.
To carry out this plan ii will be nee
essary to replace the present 15-horse-
power gasoline hoist with one of greater
| capacity. This will be DONE, it is lear
ed. within the period named, it being
the intention to install a 4o-horsepower
hoist.
Grading for MIL
The work of grading for the $4,000
10-stamp mill of the Seven Troughs
Kindergarten Mining company, north OF
the company's workings in Seven
! Troughs canyon. which was started last
week., is making good Roadway. While
II will be pushed with considerable dill
gence. there is no particular need OF
haste in its completion. as 1t will I'M
o~uestionably be several weeks before
the Nevada Engineering Works Of Reno
to which the mill contract was awarded
will be able to deliver the materials for
the building and the mill itself upon
the ground.
Word comes from Reno, however, that
President A. ]. McCone and Manager
r. F. Roy, of the engineering works,
are using every effort to secure timber
and other materials for the mill build
ing in local markets. Providing they
are successful in this direction. the
work of erecting the mill structure will
be materially fastened. as considerable
time will be required IL it becomes nec-
essary for them to send away for such
materials. When in this district last
week. President McCone expressed the
belief that it would not be necessary
to send a great distance for these ma
terials and that he could probably de-
liver them on the mill site in a few
weeks. Naturally. 1t will require a con
siderably larger period to make delivery
Of the mill itself. together with the con-
centrating tables. and other machinery
on the ground and. with the completion
of the grading work. the construction
Of the mill will be comparatively slow.
However. every effort will be made to
have the mill completed at the earliest
possible date. 1t is a certainty that it
will be in operation by May first at the
latest
Leasing operations throughout the dis
trict. and especially in Seven Troughs
canyon. rave been greatly stimulated
through the beginning of work on the
mill. This is due to the fact that leas-
ers, who have been hindered during the
last few months by reason OF the depres-
sion in the money market. Blu. who have
good milling ore in sight. now see their
way clear to realize upon their ores in
the near future through the erection OF
the mill Many leasers have already
resumed operations. and many others
are making preparations to do likewise.
