ROUND MOULTAIN TO HAVE
NEW REDUCTION PLANT

The mill for the Round Mountain Re-
ouetion company has arrived on the
ground at Sheshone creek. Twenty tons
Oh machinery Numbered through the
camp on t~wenty-mule teams. having
been hauled the entire distance from
Austin without a single mishap.
The bad weather which has been ex-
perienced of late has considerably re-
tarded the work. 1t has been found in
advisable to begin putting in the con-
crete foundation for the machinery nm
I'll the possibility of freezing Is mast
The frame work of the mill building is
completed n is ready TO be enclosed
with the corrugated iron sides and roof.
tons of this roofing have disap-
peared in transit and tracers are now
out seeking the stray parcel.
Mr.. Nazro. the vice president and resi-
dent general manager of the company is
giving the work of installation his direct
personal supervision which is assurance
that the construction will proceed as ex-
p~editiously as possible.
Good weather is all we need now"
said Mr.. Nazro. ito permit us to COM
plete the work of installation. We al
ready have considerable ore tonnage to
begin work on at once, and for the sake
of the leasers as well as for our own
sake, we want to begin work at the
earliest possible moment. 1 believe that
in the Elspass we have the mill best
adapted for the treatment of the Round
Mountain ores. We will not have the
wood question to annoy us as we will
use gasoline for fuel to work our 40
horse owe engine.
"The water question has been a thorn
in my side since I came here, but this
question has also been solved and I ex-
pect to have an ample supply with all
the fall necessary for power"
A company house with living rooms,
Offices and a laboratory will be put up
adjoining the mill.
TAIHvIEw
The Fairview mine Is again working
with a full complement of men on both
the day and night shifts. During the
first of the year the mill was thoroughly
~overhauled and cleaned and during the
temporary shut down some of the men
in the mine were laid off. 1t is again
grinding out the bullion n with better
results than ever since the overhauling.
Superintendent Jesse Harris has had
a crew of men at work on a winze which
has been SUM to a depth of fifty feet
from the Level Of the main tunnel. At
this point prosecuting was begun a few
days ago and the character of the rock
which is being cut gives every indica-
tion that an ore body is in the immedi-
ate vicinity. 1t is highly charged with
iron n identical in appearance to that
which carried the big values in the Mo-
hawk mine at Goldfeld.
Superintendent Harris brought a sam
pie sack Of this rock out of the mine
while the Nugget reporter was on the
ground yesterday. He also had a sam
pie of the Mohawk ore and the COMPARE
son was made at that time.
I'VE have only just cut into this"
said Mr.. Harris. and we will have as
strike the values when we get well into
this If we don't I shall always main
tain that we should have"
The other men are all working in ore
which is being hauled to the mill for
treatment as fast as 1t is extracted.
While no accurate figures are obtainable
the average value of the ore per ton is
considerably in excess Of 3d.
The rich stringers of high grade ore
which seam the various ore bodies are
carefully sorted into sacks and treated
separately. The gold in this Is quite
apparent before panning, while In the
