MORE MILLING CAPACITY
FOR ROUND MOUNTAIN

ROUND MOUNTAIN, New, August
5.-Since the Round Mountain Mining
company started the enlarged plaut
with electric power, there has been a
great increase in activity and produc-
tion at that property. Developments
are being carried ahead on a larger
scale in the mine and the work of re-
covery of values in the mill is greatly
facilitated by the better facilities for
handling the ore. A very NOTICEABLE
improvement in the size Of the ore
body recently opened on the 7o0-levei
is apparent as the work % opening 1t
to production continues, and the grade
of the ore is maintaining a very nigh
general average. The drift is still be-
ing pushed ahead, and STOPPING is in
progress. A Heavy production is also
being male from other portions of the
mine, which has an immense amount of
ore developed. By pushing the work
a little, the mill can now handle $50
tons of ore a day.

Manager Cy johnson, of the Solid
Gold Mining and Leasing company,
came out on the Nugget flyer Sunday.
Accompanying Mr.. johnson were the
following gentlemen who are interested
with him in ventures at Round Noun

named gentlemen have returned tc
their homes, after having made a thor

property owned by their company. Mr..
Lowry will remain in Round Noun
tain and help with the general super
vision of matters until the present
water difficulty is settled and both the
mine and mill are running again.

QUEEN COMPANY
TO RESUME WORK AT ONCE

The failure of the Bullfrog bank TIED
up some of the funds of the Diamond
Queen company in the FIuorine dis
trice, and work on the property has
been suspended for a few days, but ar
engagements are being made for the ON
pany to resume operations.
The property is situated about six
miles from Roses Well station ON the
L.. V. Il T. railroad. 1t comprises
about 140 acres and has been shipping
for some time. The ore is quite sim

(Tonopah Miner).

Ever since the Tonopah Mining Co..
commenced operations it has been its
policy to conduct its business along
most conservative lines, and In CAV
ing out the news from Its underground
workings the same policy has been op-
served. OF late various stories have
been published regarding certain work
in this property which have emanated
from outside sources and which are
false and misleading. The latest OF
these made-to-order yarns appeared IN
the Philadelphia Financial Bulletin Of
the 10Th, in which that paper claimed
that a new and important strike had
been made in this company's property
IN a winze being sent down between
the 500 and 7O0-fot levels, stating that
a rich ledge, 9 feet wide, had been en-
eountered, a foot of which gave returns
of over $1,400 to the ton, while the
balance went between $3.50 and $3.50
a ton.
The Miner can positively state that
there is not a word Of truth in the
above story. In the first place, there
Is NO winze being sunk between b 60o
and 700-foot levels, and the only work
mat is being done at present, or fol-
months past, below the 900, consists OF
sinking the Mizpah shaft and STOP
ing on the Mizpah vein from an inter
level between the 600 and 700-foot lev
els The stopping at this point has been
In progress for about four months,
mention Of which has been made from
time to time in this paper. The vein
Ia this stope shows a width of from IL
70 IL feet for a short distance between
faults and carries the ordinary milling
values, and this 10 the only ore body
oeing worked upon below the 600fooi
level. We simply call attention to THU

ment charges. The property is owned
by Salt Lake people who are represent
ed by E. J. Waugh. Three leasers are
now working. The frst development
work was done by ~leasers, who were tho
first shippers, but in addition to what
is now being done by ~leasers, extensive
work will be done by the company.
The officers o, the company are E. J.
Waugh, T. M. Gronen, +. L. Warbur-
ton, J. C. Mccormack and T. r. Ker-
nick.
The formation in the Diamond Queen
is lime and porphyry and the indica-
tions are exceptionally good for the
mine to develop into an extensive pro-
Queer. In character it much resembles
some of the Utah districts.

that they have one of the best mining
propositions in camp. That they are
being temporarily retarded in their OPP
erations by the water trouble will not
tend to deter them. Rather they have
expressed their willingness to stay By
the issue to a successful termination.
Speaking of the future of the Solid

johnson stated that !. was the inten-
ton to put in . 50-ton cyanide plant
at once. This is to handle the, tailings
from the mill and base ores which are
coming from several parts of the dis
|trict. Also there win be installed a
regrinder as an auxiliary to the mill.
The regrinder will be either a hGAdng
ton, Elspass or a Gillian. The cyanide
plant will likely be a Buffers.
Tests are Successful
w. M. Armstrong, the man has re-
Gently installed the cyanide plant on
lower Shoshone creek, stands a pretty
fair chance to make a nice little piece
of money-that is if he can get the
water. There are more base ores IN
the district than might be thought ~
a rough guess. They have been show
ing up on many of the properties and
on several of the leases in time past
to quite an extent. Over a year ago
Mr.. Armstrong conceived the idea of
putting in a cyanide plant. He has
been working on the project on and off
ever since.
/ The plant which has been completed
and placed in operation on Shoshone is
Of ffty-ton capacity, and it takes AZ
hours to treat a run 1t it only cost:
in the neighborhood of $50 per ton te
handle the ore, it will be seen that q
very low grade of DER may be worked
at a profit. Only a couple of test
runs nave been made as yet, but
enough to prove the enterprise a sue
cess.
The recent heavy rain did a greal
deal of damage at the Armstrong PLAN
and a force of men has been busy re
pairing the breaks in dams, etc. There
is a shortage of water at present, bu'
as soon as the flow begins again, WORK
will be resumed on the ore now read,
to be treated.

AT SEARCHLIGHT
ENCOURAGE THE CAMP

sEARCHLIGHT, New, August g.
The New York-Searchlight is lining up
an the north side of town to soon equal
the Homestead or old Duplex on the
.ou,b side. This week it cracked into
ara in the bottom of he shaft, or
At the 300.foot level, which was some
20 feet earlier than anticipated. But
il was not sooner done than an excess
of water put an embargo on further
sinking.
A big pump of special construction,
to correspond with the other fine equip
ment of this property, has been order
ed some weeks before from Philadel-
phia. The last wire ON the subject
Indicated it would be on cal and en-
route by this time.
The new ore, if such it may be term
ed, is plainly but the advance guard.
1t is quartz and ~porphyry, quite evenly
intermixed; and the amount uncovered
and the bulky pieces brought to the top
Indicate its massive order and quanti-
ty. 1t is said to show values In the
pan and is now being fire tested.
When the water a be handled
there will be lateral work in addition
TO sinking. The program of develop
ment eo%ntemplates attaining a vertical
depth of 1000 feet. The machinery
equipment is on a proportionate scale,
being among the best. in the district
and probably without a superior in the
state for initial work.
OxnarS-Eldorado
The Oxnard- Eldorado has its main
shaft down to the 200-foot level and
will soon start prosecuting the vein.
Manager A. J.. Peck was in town the
fore part of the week and showed a
piece of the ore now coming from the
shaft. 1t was heavy with sulphides,
and looked exceedingly good Of itself,
but Mr.. Peak does not consider 1t a
marker to what will be found when
the neighborhood of the hanging wall
is reached.
Judging from the surface and work
above, it is estimated that the vein
when cut from wall to wall will be
no less than thirty feet wide. From
these premises it is also concluded that
the best values will be found along the
hanging wall side. The distance to be
crosscut to reach the vein proper is
figured to be about twenty feet. The
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1909-08-07

shaft is now making a little water,
but not enough to be troublesome.
J. s. Keran, a member of the board
of directors of the Lloyd-Searchlight
visited the property at Camp Thurman
the first of the week and just prior to
his departure for his home at Santa
Barbara stated that operations would
be resumed within the next few days.
At present the company has one
shaft down to water level and a sec
ond shaft, $50 feet distant, is down
so feet. Immediate plans call for the
sinking of No. 2 shaft and the run
ming Of a connecting drift with No. !.
Experts are Of the opinion that the
best ore will be found somewhere be-
tween the two shafts.
In addition to the usual equipment,
the company has a small experimental
mill, and recently two tons were run
which plated sos. The figure, accord
ing to Mr.. Keran, represents the aver
age value of the ore.
New Company Formed.
With the arrival Of +. W.. Creswell
Yesterday definite details were learned
concerning the recently organized
White Rock Mining Co. AS a close
corporation, backed by ample capital,
the company has taken a years work
ing bond on a group of claims at New
berry Mountain owned by Mrs. Rose
O'Connor and j. J. Mcdonald.
The officers of the White Rock,
which is a California corporation, are:
w. H. Ellis, president; Joseph Mack,
vice president; c.. S. Kent, secretary
and treasurer, and F. w. Creswell gen.
eral manager.
Manager Creswell stated that he
would start off employing not less than
ten men. A wagon road is now being
constructed to the property. A gaso-
line hoist, compressor and power drills
have been ordered and it is thought
that the equipment will be in place
within the next forty days.
If the ore showing at the end of
six months justities, the plan is to in
stall a mill of thirty tons capacity.
There is already a considerable show
ing of ore, the result Of some 500 feet
of development.
At least a years work has been ar
ranged for, and Searchlight will be
made the base of supplies. The prop
erty lies 25 miles to the south.
