GOLD NUGGET:

Recent discovery of Il gold nugget

OF timely interest:

BIG ELY MILL
EATS IT UP

One hundred and forty cars, each
/ carrying fifty five tons of ore, making
total of 900 tons were brought
ter yesterday between o'clock in
the morning and Z o'clock in the ev-
ening by the Nevada Northern, MAX
ing new record for production by
the Nevada Con and one for ore
transportation by the railway. The
trains all went straight through to
tle concentration where they have
bins and are today being returned to
the Flat for relOading.
This great amount of ore will hard
ly be sufficient to supply the big
plant for twenty-fOur hours us the
whole four units are to be utilibed by
the Nevada Con. as long as the Vet
eran mine is shut down. While the
units are rated at the nominal cap
acity of 1850 tons each in twenty
four hours, in actual running they
have been found to handle an excess
of about 800 tons a day, or about
1850 tons. With four units in oper-
alton the Nevada Con. can there
fore handle 5000 tons IL day and
make a successful and profitable eX-
traction of .he values contained in
the ores.
The great amount of ore sent down
from the pit does not represent the
amount that can be produced there in
a day, not by IA long ways, as the ore !
has been stripped far enough ahead
that additional steam shOvels can be |
put to work at any time and a plant |
half a dozen times the size OF tn !
one at McGill could be swampcd with !
ore without extra eXertion on the |
part of the workers at the fiat. So in ]
spite of the Nete mine. which was
producing at the rate OF 800 tons
a day last month, being shut down,
the output of ore in the district is
much larger now than it was three
weeks ago and will continue TO be
at the rate of between 5000 and T.,
600 tons right along.
The ore averages about 2R per

BARTLETT SAYS
BILL WILL GO IN

George Bartlett. contrary 10 ex-
pcctation, did not 30 home last night.
He likes Carson City and the people
in 1t and wants to come here to i've
where he has friends, close personal
friends, in every block of the city.
Bartlett says that this state is due
for the biggest wave OF prosperity 1t
has yet enjoyed. This sounds so
good that We suspect George is just
trying to cheer us up. ne cit IS facts
and figures to prove it however. so
that man nearly has TO believe 1t
whether he can see 1t or not
The stimulated interest in the cop
per producing business. the bumper
crops throughout the state, the fine
condition OF range cattle III Nevada,
nearly the only inter mountain state
not cursed with an occasional drought
the discovery OF new gold and. sill
yer deposits, all these and other
things spell prosperity and good
times That cannot be denied.
bartlett Is not talking politics, The
only reference he made to politics
while here was in connection with
the tariff legislation, so-called, now
going on at Washington. Bartlett.
paired with u republican congress
man. Is free to come home, as his
vote was useless.
Like many other men re has dis
covered that when IL comes To tariff
smash. Republican senators and
congressman join democrats and
democratic senators and congressman
so to the republican side on certain !
schedules. This time a large num- |
ber of republicans have baked on the |
Aldrich program to remodel, instead
of revise downward, the tariff as |
promised by Taft and the republican
party last fall, SO that three out OF |
five votes in senate or house are Civ !
en- without regard to political creeds !
or doctrines. Thus We find Bartlett !
voting for duty on hides and New
lands voting for IL nigner duty ON
hides than did Bartlett. OF course
Nixon voted just as Aidrich wanted .
him to vote and as Frank Flint ask
ed him to vote, for the top schedule /
every time.
Bartlett has nothing to say about
state politics-he says he has not
been here long enough to set in touch
with conditions. Like all other OBJ
servant men he believ IS that the
Democrats of Nevada have done their
duty to the state and deserve con-
tiuuation of control OF affairs. Taxes
have ben reduced and general efii-
cheney in state government machin-
cry increased.
The congressman intends To push
his mines bureau bill when con
srcss rGconvenes and hopes Tor more
favorable consideration from the SEN
ate this session. Teller of Colorado
killed it off last time Dut Teller has
seen light and probably will not
dare oppose 1t again. The bill pass
ed the house all right and will pass
it, again, as the committee on mines
and mining is for it an will report it
iayorably. IL may be that Bartlett
