George X. Vaughn. OF h Builfrog
Pioneer Leasing and Milling company.
left Thursday for Goldfeld to superin-
tend the shipment of a cyanide plant
which is to be installed on the lease re-
Gently taken by the company on the
Bulifrog Pioneer property. Mr.. Vaughn
thinks that he will also be able to Sc
cure hosting machinery at Goidfeld-
The plant purchased by the company
is complete in all details and is capable
OF treating. with the addition of crush
ing apparatus. SO tons of ore a day. 1t
is the intention, however. TO start In
with Is tons a day and gradually in
crease the capacity to its limit. The
management thinks that the capacity Of
the present equipment will probably be
more tina doubled before the end of the
year. The plant will be shipped at
once. and II is thought will be delivered
by the first of the week. Immediate in
stallation viii follow.
J. r. Bryan. under whose direction
the lease is being developed. has reached
the vein at the 110-foot point in the
winze. He expects TO cut through II on
its dip. prove IT up. and then move 600
feet northeast to a tunnel now in 125
feet and carry IL to the vein. The face
of the tunnel now shows light paintings.
and II is thought that within 10 feet 1t
will break into the main ore shoot. A
depth of so feet will be gained on the
ledge at this point.
The Pioneer Bullfrog is an immense
milling proposition. The vein carries a

the property the ore can be literally
auarried. The leasing company has al
ready sold to local people a sufficient
amount of stock to Justify the improve
ments contemplated. and II is expected
to add TO the equipment right along.
Mr.. Vaughn thinks that the new plant
will be in operation by February 10.
National Bank
r.. w. Sparkling is rushing work at
his plant which is to treat the National
Rank DUMP. and he thinks, II nothing
unforeseen occurs TO delay. that he will
have II in readiness for operation by the
first of the month.
The machinery is all on the ground
and is being placed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The two Wallace grinders are In
place and the Tetrault crushers are be-
ing installed. These grinders. 1t Is
are capable of handling 10 tons
of ore each a day. This will give the
mill a capacity of 80 tons. If this amount
can be treated. Mr.. Sparkling says they
have proved successful in the treatment
of other ores. and he sees no reason why
they should not in this instance.
The building has not yet been started,

1t will be constructed.
The original intention was not to In
troduce cyanide for some time. but Mr..
Sparkling now IA he thinks he VIII
make this addition in a short time after
the mill is in operation.
Bullfrog Alliance
The shaft at the Bullfrog Alliance
has passed through the basalt and Is
now entering a good-looking quality or
tale and quartz. No assay returns have
been had from the material. but to all
appearances It carries values. The shaft
was 900 feet deep when the present con-
tract was let, and 1t has been sunk sew
eral feet below this level.
Montgomery Shcshone
The ore shipments at the Montgomery
Shoshone, nave been increased to from
40 to so tons a day. and 1t is probable
that a still further increase will be
made as development proceeds. The
value of the shipping product has never
been stated positively, but 1t is gener-
ally understood that 1t will average
around 5000 to the ton.
The is also making regular
shipments of it's concentrates. A car
went out today. These concentrates
probab1y average between $500 and $500
the ton.
The mill is treating about 200 tons a
day at this time. and the plant continues
to do excellent work and give excellent
satisfaction.
Homestake MIL
The car of machinery for the Home
stake mill, received a few days ago, has
been unloading at the Gold Bar siding
and transferred to the mine. The con-
signment consisted of shafting. boxes
and stems. The rest of the machinery is
expected to follow in a short time.
w. b. Milliken. who has charge of the
construction work at the mill, says good
progress is being made. He is working
25 men on the foundation. One ten-mule
team is hauling water. and two teams
rock and sand for the concrete work. On
the whole. Mr.. Milliken says. that good
Roadway is being made on construction
springdale Mill
A report from S~pringdale states that
work is progressing on the custom mil
being erected there by Newcomer &
Rankin. One car of machinery and one
car of lumber have been received and
the rest of the equipment is expected In
a short time.
