az the men begin laying steel along the
railroad right-of-way. Also, at that
time the Rawhidc Coalition Mines eon-
pany will engage in the erection of a
milling plant on the bank of Walker
Lake. The Rawhide Mining eompany's
mill is planned for a capacity of $50
tons of ore, while that of the Coalition
will eventually have a capac-
ity of 500 tons. The two plants, to-
pether with the Truitt- Rankin mill al
ready in operation, will afford a daily
market for nearly 500 tons of ore at the
outward terminal of the local railway.
Just at first, to be sure, the Coalition
mill will reduce only such ore as can
be accommodated by the first 20-stamp
unit of its 100 stamp mill, but the other
batteries will be placed in position as
quickly as possible.
New Mining Energy
Whether by reason of the prevailing

on the railway, or despite it, an in
crease in mining energy is noticeable of
late in all sections of the district. Il
is not unlikely the numerous discoveries
of valuable ore deposits made recently
in the north end Of the pay belt and in
the Regent section have somewhat to
do with the s-trenuousness. The increase
in activity is particularly marked in
that portion of the camp lying to the
north of Hooligan and Grutt hills, and
carrying the continuation of the rich
lodges which are being so successfully
explored at the various Coalition lease
holds located thereon. The greatest
area of centralized effort is covered by
the estate of the Rawhide Mining com
pany and by the Hoodlum property, al
though the acreages of the Northern,
the Bethania, the Poor Boys, the Bluff
and the /. X. L., companies are not be
ing overlooked.

Rawhide Mining company, and of the
st. Ives Mining & Leasing company,

most valuable in uniform precious

been opened along the north extension
of the Hooligan hill dyke. The opinion
of Mr.. Codd is shared by the mine max

opinion that Contractor Reed will soon
be supplied with the funds requisite
for finishing up the job and that he
will soon have the tracklaying corps at
work.
st. Ives Leasing
The showing at the st. Ives lease on
the estate of the Rawhide Queen Mines
company is particularly to the liking OF
Mr.. Codd, as is also that of the Leasing
company upon the estate of the Gold

ment at both leaseholds, and is con-
signed to stamp with considerable fire.
