BIO CYANIDE PLAN TO
 HANDLE HAasAYAA6PA ORES
From Wednesdays Daily,

10 thoroughly explore the large ore bodies in the Russell group of mines in the Hassayamps district, known to old timers as the "stirling properties" " J. E. Tomlinson, who recently returned here from New Mexico, announced yes terday to a Journal.Miner representa-. tive that he would have active opera tions under way there in a very short time.
 The five years experience he had in the development of the property some years ago, when ne thoroughly famil. iarized himself with tho pculiarities of the different ores of the section tribu. tary to his group, will now stand him in good hand, he says, for the reason that it is his intention to move the present twenty tsamp mill farther up the hill, add a cyanide and shines plant to 1t suitable to the economic treatment of the ores not only of his own, but other adjoining properties Hc further stated that he intends to purchase all tho ores of the district for sale that can be pro6tably treated by cyanide and concentration.
 IT know the mines of the district thoroughly, have expcrimented with their products, and intend nov to in. stall q reduction plant that will bring the district into the front rank as a gold producer" nc said. "when op- crated there some years ago, only 45 per cent of the values in the ores could be extracted by treatment in the plant. The new plant will bc one calculated Co save all the values. With the large tonnage now opened in the Sterling and other adjoining properties. which cannot now be shipped at a profit, but would be considered high grade under more favorable circumstances, the dis triet will, with the new plant, soon ri val other sections of Yavapai county in gold production.
