Glare mining company Whlcn owns TIC
Bonnie Clare, Rattlesnake ana Cour~

authorized General Manager Andrew j.
Trumbo, by wire to close the CONTRACT
with the Allis-Chalmers company OF
Chicago for the machinery. MT rum
bo has engaged to meet representatives
of the machinery house in Goldfeld and
a wire is daily expected from him that
the contract has been closed.
The Allis- Chalmers company has un-
dertaken to have the machinery at
Bonnie Glare station, where the mlll

execution of the oliver filter plant

As the battery blocks for the au-

viii Buy Other Ores
Tho directors also instructed Mr..
Trumbo to contract with other mines
for ore, up to 100 tons per day, it be-
ing the intention of the company TO
enlarge the plant and treat custom
ores. The contract with the New Bon
ME Clare insists upon, and which has
been agreed to by some OF the mines
in that section, is binding on both
sides. The New Bonnie Glare pledges
itself to accept the ore as contracted
for, and the other fellow must make
good in the delivery or forfeit ms
mine. 1t is also the policy OF the COM
pany to treat the ores of its own
leasers, who have already developed
a considerable tonnage in addition to
the immense reserves of the company,
which Vice-President S. F. owen, a
mining man of much experience, de-
clares are sufficient to keep the 100
ton mill busy for five years.
VIII Have Railroad
It will be seen that greater mill
facilities are justified by the ore avail
able, and desirable in order to make
the company one of the big dividend
payers of the state and The Herald is
assured that the reduction works VIII
be increased in the near future.
One thing which has held the man
agemenG back is the matter of trans
portation of the ore from mines to mill,
and that has apparently been solved;
The Tonopah & Tidewater railroad
company has signified its willingness
TO build the ten mile spur on condt-
ton of a contract for 100 tons per day
for two years. The New Bonnie Clare
company has instructed Manager
Trumbo to sign such a contract. w.
G. Luckhardt, mining engineer of the
hoc that he will visit flb
mines next week, and if he finds that
the New Bonnie Clare is in a position
to fulfill such contract, the order
will be given. This is in accordance
with the policy of the Tonopah & Tide
water in extending it's lines, and re-
suited in the construction of the line
from Tecopa to the silver-lead mines
known as the Gunsite and Daylight.
Is Los Angeles Corporation
The new Bonnie Clare company is
practically a Los Angeles corporation.
The vice-president, S. F. owen, has
mined all his life, and has built some
of the big mills of the mining world,
in all sections of the globe He had
retired from active life when he be-
come acquainted with the possibilities
of the Bonnie Glare, and could not re-
sist the desire to get back into the
business of mine making again. Don
w. Carlton, secretary and director, is
chief teller of the First National bank
and is rated as an able financier.
Mr.. w. w. Whitney, president of the
company, Is a resident of San Diego
and was formerly a large manufacturer
in Cincinnati until he sought the sun
ny skies of California under which to
live.
The extension OF the Tonopah &
Tidewater road will tap several well
developed mines and prospects in the
Gold Mountain country.
Fred Simons, a Nevada mining en-
gineer who of late has been giving his
attention to the Quartz King mine near
Parker, Ariz., is in Los Angeles from
a trip into Kern county.
The Panoramic View company has
finished some fine panoramic photos
of the points of interest in Goldheld.
including pictures of the members Of
the Los Angeles contingent, in front
of the Goldfeld hotel and at the train.
Dep Mining in Fairview
Reports from Fairview, New, in
dicate an active campaign Of develop
ment work in that camp during the
coming months. George Wingfield has
directed that the shaft on the Eagles
be deepened and the rich shoot of ore
explored below the water level and in
the true sulphide zone Under the
present management the Eagles prom
ises to develop into a real mine.
The Nevada Hills is still talking
about a mill, but there are indications
that one will soon be built. If this
company were ofhcered by men of less
wealth dividends would be more regu-
lar, as it is without question one of
the great mines. not alone of Nevada
but of the world.
