MINING NEWS
ECLIPSE MILL A SUCCESS

The stockholders of the Elko Eclipse
Gold Mining company are rejoicing
over the success Of their mill. This
company is composed of Ogden peo-
pie who have purchased the Eclipse
Mining claims for s10,0OOOO which
has just gone to patent. The Eclipse
claim Is right in the center OF the
town of Tuscarora, Elko county, Ne
vada. and practically is the only vir-
gin ground left. Over 100000, 900 has
been taken out in the surrounding
claims and considerable good milling
values together with some high grade
gold has been encountered in the work
1ngs of the Eclipse claim. These val
ues together with a lease on the Ma
vaja dump of almost 100000 tons of
ore justified the building OF a mill,
which has been put in and is now
running "a hours per day on good ore

John R. Pattison, president of tho
man OF experience, Is in charge OF

group of four claims with about 1000
feet of work done in milling gold

The Eclipse Co, backed the prop
osition and have valuable concession
and holdings in, not only the Eclipse
claim. but in the Yellow Top Leas-
ing and Milling Co, and are now
working conjolntly.
1t is estimated that the milling ore
blocked out in the Rose group near
the mill is enough to keep the same
working for 20 years, with this and
the rich ore from the Eclipse claim
and the good values from the Navajo
dump make a very flattering propo-
sition foI the stockholders of both
companies.
