NEVADA UNITED MINE AT
LOVELOCK RESUMES WORK

The big steam boiler for the Nevada
United Mining company, which was
shipped to the property some time ago,
has been installed and thoroughly test
ed, and yesterday active operations
on the property were resumed, says the
Lovelock Review. The mine, which
has been closed down for several
months past on account Of a big now
of water having been encountered IN
the tunnel, will now be worked on a
larger scale than ever before. Tit
water has subsidized sufficiently to al
low workmen to get into the face OF
the tunnel. which is more than 2,10O
feet long, and with this condition
nothing is expected to happen to re-
tard the plans mapped out by the
management.
General Manager John I. Reid stat
ed that three shifts OF miners wouie
be employed steadily and that tn
work of driving the tunnel would b.
hurried along as rapidly as possible
1t is proposed to drive the tunne
ahead until the main ledge has beef
cut after which a series of drifts
wines and other means of p~rospectin,
will be carried out on an extensive
scale. From the present showing ha'
in the tunnel it is expected that some
thing in the sensational line will b
encountered before prosecuting pro
crosses very far. Where the ledge wa
first cut and where the big flow o
water was encountered, the indication
are mast favorable and a great dea o
mineral shows.

SUIT FOR STOCK IN RICH
WIHUJA LEASE AT MAZUMA

In the district court at Reno Tues
day morning the case of +. X. n r..
G. Olson against the Wihuja Gold Min
ing company and j. b. Newman was
opened before Judge Pike. The case
concerns the lease now being operated
on the Seven Troughs property by the
Wihuja company and the transfer OF
one hundred thousand shares of stock
in the Wihuja company.
The two Olsons claim that they Sc
cured the lease now being operated by
the Wihuja company for that com
pany with the understanding that they
would receive M hundred thousand
shares of the stock of the company to
be formed for the purpose of operating
the lease. The company was formed
and the Olsons claim that the WihuJs
company has refused to deliver thu
stock. They ask for an order for thu
delivery of the stock and damages ii
the sum of $1,000. In case they ar'
unable to get the stock they ask tina
they be decreed the sum of $4,000.
On the other hand, the Wihuja com
pany alleges that it has always bees
ready to deliver the stock but tina
they had been prevented from doing
so by the Intervention of other par
ties, namely Frank Over, }. o'Brie
and NJ. Kinney, who claim to nave a
interest in the stock by virtue of be

the wihuja company. These three pal

TRACK LAYING WILL SOON
BEGIN ON WESTERN PACIFIC

Winnemucca, New, July 24.-Virgil
Bogue, chief engineer and general
manager of the Western Pacific rail
road, after coming over the grade
from the west in his automobile, was
met at the end of the line with Il
special train containing his private car
and arrived here Saturday evening.
The object of Engineer Bogue's trip
across the country in his auto was to
make his final inspection of the pad
bed prior to the laying of steel, which
will be completed in the course of three
montbs. He thoroughly inspected the
newly constructed Dad west OF Win
nemucca and the terminal and material
yards at this place and was pleased
with the progress which is being made.
Sunday morning the car was switched
to the Southern Pacific and taken to
Elko from which place Engineer Bogue
continued his tour of inspection to Salt
Lake City.
The tracklaying machine which is
coming from the east is now at a
point about fifteen miles from Golcon-
ia and making good progress. In a
little over a month g time the steel will
he laid from Salt Lake City to Winnie
lnucca, when the balance OF the mater
:al will be hauled here over the West
err Pacific's line.
At this place a large crew OF men
is working in the terminal yards n
the concrete walls for the ~roundhouse
are fast nearing completion.
Trains are busy hauling gravel and
the roadbed is being ballasted from
near Antelope Point east.
Tomorrow two more locomotives are ex
pected to arrive when two more trains
will be put ON this work.
Since Saturday 81 cars OF material
and two cars of coal have arrived over
the Southern Pacific for the Western
Pacific.

WINGFIELD QUITS worn
ON FREDELEN PROPERTIES

Las Vegas, New, July 22.-George
Wingield, +. j. Siebert and associates
have discontinued work on the copper
claims at Camp Fredelen and have
Cancelled their pond and lease, revert
ing the properties to Messrs. p. IL. Nc
i.aughlin, X. II. Sproul and their asso-
GATES. A large amount of work has
been done on the properties but their
value has not as yet been fully demon
strated.
+. j. Siebert, manager of the prop
erty, on being interviewed on the sub
ject of closing down the camp, said:
1--WE have believed in the value of
these properties and have shown our
faith by the expenditure of a consider
able amount of money on them. The
short time which we have had to work
under our bond has been insufficient
for us to demonstrate the property and
at the present time if we could secure
more time before making the final
large payments on the property, we
would be glad to proceed with the work
in our effort to prove the mine. We are
not willing, however, to complete the
purchase of the property on the pres
J ent showing and the majority Of the
owners being unwilling to give US the
additional time required for develop.
ment, have simply turned the property
back to them and quit"
The shutting down of the camp is a
distinct disappointment to Vegas. Most
of those well informed on the Fredelen
properties believe that sufficient work
will open one of the great mines of tbs
state there, which would be of great
benefit to the city and to the mining
interests generally. 1t is hoped thai
the owners will find means to proceet
with the work so well begun by Mr.
lSiebert and that Fredelen may yet oc
eupy a large place on the map.

dump.
The solutions containing the gold
ara silver values pass through the gold
storage tanks to the extractor h)use
where the values are precipitaiei ny
IN. ans of zinc shavings.
in the extractor house are situated
also the bullion melting AMI slime
muffe furnaces, acid cleanup tank and
the vacuum pump for drying gold
shines and furnishing air to the sui
pEur burner.
The plant is so arranged that all tine
mechanical operations are performed
py machinery driven by a single forty
horsepower gas engine. This engine
drives to a main line shaft, a.d tire
various conveyor and crushing n;aeh'n-
cry drives are taken off the main line
shaft. The engine is fitted on one
side with a rope-drive sheave, and this
r%ope-drive operates the counter shaft II
tLe extractor house from which arr
driven the solution pump, vacuum
pump and agitator in the cleanup
tank. All tanks are of heavy steel,
J riveted with pneumatic hammers.
j. j. Jones, manager, says that while
no false economy has been practiced,
nevertheless he. believes this to be the
cheapest constructed plant Of its capa-
city ever built in America.
The finished plant bas cost less thar
$50, 900, and this amount includes items
of road work and all costs chargeable
to the mill construction. Owing tt
the fact that the mill was built in The
middle of winter, with snow on the
ground most of the time, the construc'
ton cost has been remarkably low.
The milling costs will be lower thai
any reduction plant in the state of Ne
Vaua, anu the cAlldCtioh hiSnSi'
At this time the mill requires the
services of only two men on each shift
with the mill superintendent on day
shift, making a total OF seven mel
employed in the mill. George l.. Kael
ing, in charge of the construction, be
lieves that this small force can be re
duced after the men get into the swing
of the mill operation.
At this time the mill is making al
actual extraction of a little over nine
ty-eight per cent of the gold and silver
contents of the ore, the total OF thest
contents being about $50 per ton.
1t is to be hoped that the success o.
this mill will be an incentive to thu
opening up of other mines in the see
ton which have quantities of ore sus
eeptible of the same treatment.

Sentinel, Eureka, Nev.)

fSentinel, Eureka, New
The Eureka district can boast the
mast successful reduction plant from
every point of view, that there is IN
the state of Nevada, not even except
ing the new mill of the Goldfeld Con
solidated Mines company, at Goldfeld,
Nevada.
On the 9Th of this month the new
niu Of the Eureka Windfall Mining
company Was started, and has been'i in
continuous successful operation since,
treating 140 tons of ore per day.
This mill marks a new era in the re
aoet;on of the ores of the Eureka dis
trict. Heretofore the world looked up
on the ores coming from this district
as being smelling ores, requiring !.
usual high treatment costs
upon this form of reduction.
When the Eureka indfall Mining
company took over the property bear
ing its name, the Kaeding Construction
com of Goldfeld, Nevada, was
called in to devise a process for the
reduction of the ore. After numerous
tests by this latter company, they rec
ommended the construction of a reduc'
ton plant to depend entirely upon the
extraction of the gold and silver con
tents by the cyanide process, disre'
lrxdlne what lead contents might Dc
ore, as the cyanide process will
mot recover the lead.
4 Other m~etallurgists were employee
to make tests on the ore, and some O.
them rendered reports adverse to th'
method outlined by the Kaeding Con
struction company, but after much con
sideration, pro and con, the process
outlined BY the Kaeding Construction
eompany was adopted. The method II
brief is as follows:

(By William p. Dewolf).


A small shipment went out this week
to the Murray mill from the MISSIONER
lease on the Northern estate. 1t has
an estimated value of $50 a ton. The
ore was mined in the south drift on the
50-foot level in the continuation of
the same ledge which is exposed in
the Morrissey lease on the estate of
the Rawhide Mining company and in
the Richard Holland and the Burn.
hill leases on the estate of the Coali-
ton company. The Importance Of the
shipment to the mining industry of
the camp as a whole lies in the fact
that it was made from a point several
thousand feet north of the regularly
productive area as hitherto recognized.
A narrow streak of ore having a
precious metal value of from $40 to
$500 a ton was opened up a few days
agon on the 150-foot level Of the main
workings ON the Kearns. No. l block
on the Queen estate. Paralleling it IS
a l2-inch section of 500 a ton ore.
From the high.grade streak has been
broken sufficient ore to fill 25 sacks.
This ore has a value Of from $500 to
500 a ton. The deposit is identical
with hat recently opened at a depth
of l25 feet in the upper, or old work
ings. At that depth the entire bottom
of the shaft is breaking an average of
SIS a ton and is carrying a finch
streak Of 800 ore. On the 80-foot
level the miners are drifting east III
the same ledge. There it carries II
inches Of 800 a ton ore.
Kearns No. 2 Shipping.
Five hundred tons of dump ore are
moving from the former Kearns No.
2 lease on the Queen to the Murray
mill. The product has a general av-
erage value of SIP a ton and is going
to stamp in l5-ton lots. Shipments
will be diverted from the Murray u
the King,Heisner mill in the immedi-
ate future. The current week $50
sacks of ore, having an estimated av-
erage value of at least 5000 q ton,
were shipped to the sampler at Hazen.
The latter product was mined by the
Queen management from the Slopes
and drifts on the S0-foot level several
weeks before the leasehold passed in
to the possession of Victor Stanquist
and associates, of San Francisco. The
dump rock was removed during the
course of development work, subse-
quent to cessation of operations by the
Kearns No. 2 management. All mon
les accruing from the sale OF these
ores will, therefore, revert to the
Queen %company's treasury. The pres
ent ~lessees are extracting a nominal ton
mage of high grade on the sO-foot level
and are prosecuting east to the main
Balloon hill ore channel on the BOO.
bot level. No attempt at production
is being made at present, nor VIII
there be until the King Heisner mill
becomes regularly operative.
