EXAMINATIONS
FOR WEST POINT
CADETSHIP

Senator George S. Nixon has been
called upon by the war department
to nominate principal and two al
ternates for cadetship at the mill
tary academy at West Point. He has
concluded, in order to give an OPP

the state, to hold a competitive ex-
animation for the nomination. DR.
Joseph E. Stubs, president of the
Nevada state university, has consent
ed to conduct such an examination
on the Goth of April 1909, and the
young man obtaining the highest
average will receive the nomination
as principal, and the alternates will
be selected according to the averages
obtained. The president of the uni
versity has, in his possession, all the
necessary information regarding the
admission of cadets into the military
academy, which may be procured
from him direct 1t is suggested that

Big QUARTZ MILL
FOR WONDER

The Wonder Mining News has the
following mining article on the new
mill to be built for the Nevada Won
der company. The property is own
ed by Philadelphia capitalists, the
control of the stock being owned by
the directors of the Tonopah Mining
company. Its secretary, G. A. High
bee, is heavy. stakeholder:
y. B. Daniel left the early part of
the week for San Francisco, and it is
surmlsed that his mission at
this time is for the purpose of con-
sulting mill machinery manufacture
ers on the subject of bids for the Ne
vada Wonder mill While this
work is in the hands of a building
committee of the board of directors
OF the company, Mr.. Daniels has
charge of all details, and it is his
purpose to lose no time in complet-
ing arrangements for the installation
of the mill and the laying of the pipe
line from Sage Hen creek.
1T is not likely that Mr.. Daniel
will let contract for any part of
the work on his present trip, but it
is presumed that he will confer with
Mr.. Bosqui, and determine upon
many details that will expedite mat
tiers when the time arrives for award
ing contract. Mr.. Bosqui made the
ore tests of the Nevada Wonder ores
and is in position to know exactly
what machinery is required. These
ore tests demonstrated that the Ne
vada Wonder rock is different from
that of other districts, and is harder
to treat. Mills in other districts
crush on an average five tons a day
to each stamp. The Nevada Wonder
rock is harder, and it is estimated
that three and one-half tons to each
stamp will be the daily capacity. Mr..
Daniel, however, is of the opinion
that the style of mill that he has in
mind will crush four tons and better
to the stamp. In other words, he
believes that the fifteen stamp mill
will treat siXty-fve tons of rock
daily.
Economy will be practiced in or
der to make the property as remun-
erative as possible. For this reason
the crushers will be located at the
dump so as to save part of the ex-
pensive excavations in solid rock for
the mill site. Oil will be used as
fuel to operate the engines. and by
putting in its own water supply the
company will save the original cost
during the first few years OF opera
