1 tingent upon extension of the line is the
erection here of a ~40-stamp mill.
Somewhat recently the old Gates
mill, first to be erected in this camp,
was entirely reconstructed and for
more than a month now has been run
ming at the limit of its capacity
forty tons-on ores from the Marigold,
the Mint, the Grutt-H Hard, the Proskey
No. /, the Dayton Toledo and the Miller
leaseholds on the Coalition estate. The
last mentioned has just completed a
shipment of so tons thereto, and after
June l will ship an average of 30 tons
per week. General Manager Kline of
the milling company states the plant
is saving about IS per cent of the
precious metal values secreted in the
ores. All tailings are being impounded
and will later be cyanided.
Murray Mil Working.
Five stamps at the Murray mill are
dropping continuously on ores from the
Coalition property, the remaining five
stamps being utilized in crushing quartz
from other acreages. The plant is mod
ern in every particular and is saving
from 80 to go per cent of the values.
The ores reduced thereat vary in worth
from SIG to $25 per ton. Fifty tons
recently handled for the Grutt-Hard
lease management Melted somewhat bet
ter than $25 a ton. At present the
stamps are dropping on a Cotton con-
Segment from the Proskey No. l lease
on the Coalition.
Within a few days it is expected that
work will be resumed at the Weiss mill
of 40 tons daily capacity. Somewhat
recently the plant reduced so tons of
ore from mine acreage located in the
Bovard district. The cleanup thereon
is valued at about $65 the ton, or a
total value approximately $1,000. I'm
der a suit involving ownership OF this
bullion the mill was recently closed
down under writ of attachment. Upon
resumption the plant will eonfne It's
labors for a number of weeks to reduc-
ing lessee ores from Coalition ground.
Strike on Dayton Toledo.
A strike of more than ordinary value
and Importance was made a few days
ago in the Dayton-Toledo lease work
ings on the Coalition. Also, In the
Marigold lease workings on the same
estate a very appreciate widening of
the ore body is noticeable, while IN the
Grutt-Balloon Hill lease workings on
the Queen estate a shoot of phenomlnal-
ly rich ore has been picked up at a
point not far distant from the st. Ives
lines. At first it was believed
the find had been made within the
boundaries of the last mentioned, but
a measurement of the drift proved
otherwise.
The ore discovery in the Dayton
Toledo lease workings was made In the
upraise on the 3OO-foot level, where
stringers of quartz literally sprinkled
with free gold have made their APP
in the body of milling ore
which Superintendent Roy Brown
somewhat recently opened up at that
Hitherto the average Craze
across the four-foot ore body was $lo
the ton, but since the free gold carry
ing seams made their appearance the
is increased to $50 the ter.
Exposed in the drifts on the loo-foot
level of the Marigold lease workings
on the Coalition is an ore shoot OF uh-
usual value. The streak OF high grade
first discovered more than three months
400 now has an average width OF eight
inches and has a value considerably
in excess of 81 900 per ton. Inc lates'
shipment from the Marigold to sampler
at Hazen netted ~$5,35s.73 minus
81. 91O.95, the value of 55l pounds Oh
ore included in the consignment, ana
which was mined in the Grutt HUI
Truitt lease workings.
