SEVEN TROUGHS ADDING TO
THE WORLDS WEALTH
(y Joseph s. Jordan, Special Represe NATIVE of The News)

Mazuma, Dec. 3.-Seven Troughs has
added to the worlds treasure vault
$50, 900 for the month of November
This is the product of the two mills
now in operations, and the only reason
that the output was not greater was
the lack of water. There is plenty OF
water flowing from the mines to more
than fill the need of the mills, but the
water has not yet been harnessed fol-
use. The deficit is being rapidly
remedicd, and another month at the
latest will see both mills, that of the
Mazuma Hills and the kindergarten,
running day and night, with an output
of 80 tons for every "a hours.
Nothing need be shipped from
Seven Troughs but gold and silver bull
lion," said A. F. Morgan, who is in
charge of the Mazuma Hills mill. Mr..
Morgan is one of the best mill men in
the entire country, and he has given
the most minute attention to the stu
alton in the district. He says that the
highest grade ore can be run through
the mills, and he knows, for he has al
ready run 500 ore from the Mazuma
Hills, and saved SO per cent of the
values. In the Mazuma Hills they have
had the high grade IA and Is inches in
width, and the ore for that width went
better than $4,000. This was cut down
by the addition Of lower grade rock
and worked in the mill at a great say
ing from what the cost of the smelter
would have been.
The Portland mine of Cripple Creek,
from which has been extracted $50, 900,
900, was discovered and opened up by
John Harnan, and that gentleman Is
still one of the largest stockholders in
the company. Mr.. Harnan is the prin
cipal owner in the Mazuma Hills mine
which bids fair to be another Portland
He knows how to make mines and he
knows how to get the values out of the
| ores. ne TtdiiLCS WHut n kitdt
the establishment Of a mill in camp
would be, and so built a ten-stamp mill
Friedman, principal owner in the Kin
dergarten and the Seven Troughs, hat
the same idea, and he put up the Kin
dergarten mill. The Consolidated OF
Goldfeld got a good taste of the cost OF
smelters, and put up it's own mills
Nevada, generally, has come to thu
conclusion that the salvation Of it,
mines lies in the mills.
The third ten-stamp mill, which i
under construction by a syndicate O.
London capitalists, will be completed
about the middle of January. Work i
being rushed on the structure, and ii
addition to the mill there is to b.
erected a sampler. This sampler will
! do more for the development and ad
vancement of the camp than any othc
single agency, for the owners of tn
mill will buy the ore on the groun'
from the leasers and the mine owners
Backed by millions, the new mill vii
take all the ore hat is offered. The tel
stamps is a unit of a hundred or NOR
stamps, and the plant will be enlarge
to meet the requirements of the dis
trict. This means immediate money TO
the camp, and will be, especially,
great aid to the leasers. They a tax
a ton. or ten tons or more to the sam
pier, and on the following day the,
will be paid in cash the value of thei
ore. Money will be easy for every
body; the employment of more me
will follow, development win be in
creased, money will be in general ell
culation and will flow into the genera
channels of trade, and Seven Trough
will be in itself a principality withou
aid from the outside world. 1t wi
give an added impetus to leasing an
mine making; the district will be
paradise for leasers.
OF the 100000 produced this montl
SIS, 1000 came from the Kindergarte
mine; $4,000 from the Mazuma Hill
$23, 900 from the Wihuja lease on tn
|, Therien, and $1,000 from the Buckhorl
The Wihuja lease has not yet complete
it's run of $50 tons through the Kinde
garten mill, but they are sampling Il
leads and tails in the mill, and the r
suit is $175 a ton. This Is a sample
the milling ore in the district. III
kindergarten has produced the san
grade, and so has the Blckhorn and Il
