TO SET UP MILL AT THE
CAMP OF NATIONAL

&. II. Bradford, of San Francisco
who for the past Is years has been il
the employ Of John Treadwell, of the
great Alaska mine by that name, in
the capacity OF minng engineer and
personal advisor, was at the Lafayette
Sunday, says the Silver State News.
Mr.. Bradford left tor National yes.
terday morning, where he will set up
Tadmor mill, of which he is the Ia
yentor, having just received his patenv.
The principal advantage Of my mil
over the stamp mill is the great saving
in power made possible. There is now
one IN operation at Rawhide, which will
handle 10 tons of ore per day, with a
3-horse-power engine that consumes
but six gallons of gasoline every 2t
hours. To handle an equal amount Of
ore would require 10-stamp mill,
which would use about l5 gallons OF
gasoline.
" L have sold the mill l am about to
set up at National to p. M. Campbell,
who intends to do custom work.
"The Treadwell mine is a pretty big
proposition, is it not, Mr.. Bradford2"
inquired the reporter.
1t is one of the largest low grade
gold mines in the world,' was the re
ply. There are millions of tons of ore
tnat run from $1.75 to 1925 per ton.
To mine and mill it costs from $l.00 to
to 25OO tops of ore per day, and have
1900 stamps running continually. All
$l.25 per ton. They handle from 1900
told there are more than 2000 stamps,
but the balance are either undergoing
repairs or are out of commission for
some other reason. 1t is doubtful If
the ore could be worked AT profit
were it not for the fact that they have
one of the finest water-powers on this
continent with which to conduct their
operations"
els John Treadwell still owner of
the mine7"
He owns but three eighths, having
IL years ago disposed of the remaining
five-eighths to Scatch and English
capitalists, for the sum of $4,000,000. -

tact to remain distant from all attor

ITALY IN THROES OF AWFUL
DISASTER
GREATEST CALAMITY IN YEARS
Appeal 10 the Entire World is Made
for Helm


ROME, Dee. 29.-South Italy and
the island of Sicily have been visited
by an appalling calamity, the extent OF
which cannot yet be grasped. An
earthquake yesterday morning wrecked
city after city and obliterated smaller
towns and villages without number.
Then tidal wave swept along ths
straits of Messina and added to the
horror, drowning the people in their
helplessness and panic. Fire came ITO
complete the work of destruction.
lities anJ countless numbeds of Injured
flames broke out in the evastatco
men, women and children were burned
to death.
Any adequate estimate of the totad
casualties is as yet quite impossible,
but the Rome Tribuna places the num-
Der at between 10000 and 10000. The
horror and destructiveness of this vis
itation will probably exceed that Of
any earthquake in Italy since 1888,
when 10000 people perished at Mes
sina alone.
Reports of heavy loss of life are
coming every hour from city and
town and nearly every village in the
stricken zone and the story in its de-
tail has only been begun to be told.
The horror grows as further reports
come in.
Messina has been fire-sweEt. The
dead there alone run nito the tens OF
thousands.
Catania suffered heavily.
Mount Aetna, the volcano on the
island of Sicily, is active. The detona-
tions are reverberating over CatanIa
and adds to the terror. Volumes of
smoke are pouring from the crater
The work of rescue is being pushed
forward with every possible energy.
Troops are being pushed to the scene,
but efforts at succor are as yet utterly
inadequate. France, Great Britain and
Russia are hurrying warships to the
scene.
| King Victor Emanuel and Queen
Helena have left Rome for the south.
His Majesty will superintend in person
the measures of relief.
The queen, refusing to let her hus-
band go alone, insisted upon sharing his
dangers.
The pope has made an appeal to
Roman Ca aiholics the world over for
with donation of 100000.
