Gold Prize has
Good Ore Shoot

SEVEN TROUGHs lNey.l. Nov, 4.
Several weeks careful surface
work at the Moran strike on the Gold
Prize, a mile and a half north of Yer
non, has revealed an ore zone of a
magnitude and richness that easily
~surpasses all previous surface discoy-
cries in the Seven Troughs district.
The facts furnished by Ed Moran are
substantiated by incredible exposures
of values over a wide area Mr..
Moran said
Il have the formation exposed for
140 feet by five long surface trenches.
The work done reveals an ore zone
fifty feet wide for the entire distance
of 40 feet uncovered in which the
great ore body is practically con-
| tinuous. In everyone of the trenches
is the same network of quartz veins
carrying shipping values and speci'
men ore and the material that fills
the space between these stringers ant
veins is a low grade phonolitic por'
phyry. The quartz stringers range II
thickness from two inches to three
feet. On the west side of the gold
bearing zone is a ~three-foot quart
body and here | believe the value

body Of ore. As Incredible as u

CUSTOM Mill FOR
SEVEN TROUGHS

~
G. A. Richards of the Western Mill
and Machine company of Oakland,
California, and inventor Of the fam
GUS combined stamp and arasta mill
ing process, is the latest mill man
who has decided to install a custom
mill in the Seven Troughs district.
The plant, which is to have an initial
capacity of twenty tons a day, will
be erected heal Vernon and is to be
one of the combined stamp and
arasta type. In the combined pro-
cess five stamps will be all that is
necessary to insure a productive ca
pacity of twenty tons per day. 1t is
claimed for this double process that
it amalgamates perfectly and that it
effects a remarkably close saving of
values.
Mr.. Richards reached the decision
to build a mill in spite of the fact
that two other milling companies
have Just decided to establish milling
plants here. He is now endeavoring
to secure contracts from some of the
mine owners to furnish him ore.
After examining the Buckhorn prop
erty, near Vernon, Mr.. Richards was
authority for the statement that this
property alone is capable of keeping
the proposed plant, at its initial ca
pacity, supplied with ore. 1t is the
intention to enlarge the plant as fasr
as conditions warrant. Mr.. Richards
also represents the Hart Incineratol
and Smelling company of Oakland
California.
Following the visit of c. S. Floyd

Demarest custom mill project, t,
Lovelock, where a deal was effecte,
with s. B. Hill whereby title was Sc
cured for the proposed mill site nea

orders were received by wire fror
Messrs. Harris and Demarest to rus.
the mill to completion within sixt
days, and in pursuance of this pre-
gram grading was commenced on tn
site Friday. Thirty men will be pu

found for them. In the meantim
|, the building material and the m;
, chinery is to be massed on tn
i ground as fast as h%urry-up orders ca
5 get it there. Mr.. Floyd is in receil
of two kilograms urging the create
haste, and barring unlocked for d
lays, believes the mill will be erectt
on schedule time.
The plant has been decided upc
in all its details, and, according
Samuel o. Harris of London, En-
land, principal hacker of the propos
. ton, is to be the most complete al
up-to-date mill in Nevada outside Il
i Goldfeld Consolidated plant. It W
cost approximately $4,000 VIII,
