The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-11-05
(From the Mail.)


Monday morning on ore from the Lit
tie Grey, operated by the Manhattan
M. q l.. Co. From 25 to 80 tons per
day is being treated and there -
enough ore in sight to keep it running
for some time. New ore reserves
blocked out in the various leases will
keep the mill running steadily from
nov on.
A new four-inch pipe line has been
laid to the mill to furnish a sufficient
water supply. A %regrinding mill of
the Bryan type is being put on the
foundation this week and with its in
stallation the capacity of the mill will
be close to so tons per day. Classifers
are also being put above the regrinder.
Additional equipment in the assay of
flee is being provided. When the i'm
provements under way are made the
plant will be very complete and cap
able of a high extraction. The re-
sumption of work by this reduction
plant is another of the things show
ing marked progress of the district.
The War Eagle mill, which is treat
ing ores of the Dexter Consolidated
Leasing Company, is pounding away
night and day and is crushing an aver
age of 40 tons daily. Since the mill is
handling the product furnished by
three sets of leasers composing the
company, it will have all the ore 1t
can handle for many months to come.
The plant continues to get a high ex-
traction from the ores.
East of town, on Union No. A, the
new 10-stamp mill under course of
construction by r. Wallace Mcneil
and associates is rapidly nearing com
pletion. They expect to start the
machinery in the next 20 days. The
! plant is located at the collar of the
shaft and will be complete in every
detail. A water supply sufficient for
operation can be- raised from the mine.
Mr.. Mcneil is also engaged in grading
a Wagon road to the White Cap claim,
also under lease. The road will be
used to haul machinery and equipment
to the mine, which is to be actively de-
veloped by the company, and also to
haul ore to the mill. Steady operation
and bullion production will soon be Il
feature in the neighborhood of Litiga-
ton Hill.
Another milling plant for the reduc-
ton of Manhattan ore will soon be
dropping it's stamps. Los Angeles men,
owners of the Buffalo mine, have a D.
stamp mill practically completed and
should be crushing the product of their
mine inside the next two weeks. The
mill and mine are located on the east
side of town.
j. V. Priest and some eastern capt.
~talists. who own the old Lemon mill
ON Wolftone hill, are giving the plant
a MISUNDERSTANDING and expect to
start the machinery in the next ten
days. C. l.. Lague is in charge OF the
wark and has installed some new equip
ment, which will greatly increase the
mills capacity and make possible a
high extraction of values. Nothing
else than the marked increase IN ore
production with a consequent demand
for milling facilities is responsible for
| the starting afresh of this and other
Manhattan mills. 1t is undeniable
proof of the districts prod~uctiveness.
Work resumed in the IA shaft on the
Union No. 9 claim this week by the
Manhattan NJ. & l.. Co. Some new
machinery. which arrived lately has
been installed and ON the first try-out
everything worked smoothly. A new
centrifugal pump is in place and IS
| giving entire satisfaction. The pump
is the three-stage variety and will keep
the shaft clear of water while sinking
is under way. Full shifts are at work
and the shaft will be lowered with ali
possible speed.
The resumption of work at this point
on Union No. 9 will soon be productive
of active results. Wide bodies of pay
milling and shipping ore are exposed in
the workings, which will be extracted
while sinking is going on. More depth
to the mine will also serve to greatly
increase the ore reserves, unless all
previous experience is at fault.
At the Shea, Putnam and Plamenas
lease ON Union No. 9, operating on
blocks one to five, which is a part of
the Dexter Consolidated Leasing COM
pany, the usual active operation and
development is going on. Several nun
bred IONS of ore were recently shipped
from this lease, which it is said gave
very fair returns. Plans are under
