TWO IMPORTANT
REAL ESTATE DEALS

One Of the most important real
estate deals in the history of Winnie
mucca was consummated yesterday
when Haviland & Hoskins purchased
from d. Pascal the 20 acres of land
adjoining the ola cemetery on the
north, with north and south fronage
of 1900 feet.
The well-known livery firm, for some
time, have had in contemplation the
establishment of a barn and feedyard
across the track, which would require
two or three acres of ground. Realiz-
ing the possibilities of this section,
they took over the entire tract, with
the intention of plating the balance of
the property and selling it out ! In
town lots for building purposes.
IT is generally conceded that after
the Western Paciffic is in full opera.
tion, there will be a town of some sort
on the other side of the river. AS the
old cemetery occupies a good portion
of the land convenient for building
sites, the tract purchased by Haviland
& Hoskins should increase enormously
in value within the next few years.

the cold rains of the past week no

that the other companies are awaiting

also in the vicinity of Antelope Siding,
IA miles east of Sulphur. They may
start their first well in the Antelope
territory. Should they do so and de-

oil fields to be very extensive. Also
if paraffin oil Is struck in the Antelope
field it would show that the entire area
is paraffin and would settle many
doubts as to metods of procedure on
te part of oil men for exploitation.
There is quite a valuable and extern

flats two miles east of Sulphur, which
probably contain nitre. At any rate,
this deposit of alkali could be turned
to a valuable use in the manufacture of

laundry soaps are now the best on the

LARGE SE-ELTING PLANT TO
BE BUILT AT WABUSKA
Especial to Silver State.)

SPOKANE, Wash, May 3.-Three
hundred thousand dollars will be ex-
pended upon smelling plant at
Wabusea, Nevada, by the Mason Val
ley Mining comany, according to
Jules Labarthe, a recognized authority
on metallurgy and smelter construc-
tion, now in Spokane. He is putting
the finishing touches to the plants,
which call for an initial plant of 700
tons daily capacity, with two blast fur
naces, reverberatory furnace and
converters. He announces that work
will begin as soon as his designs are
completed, adding:
"The plant will be built with view
to early and constant enlargement
which is made necessary to handle
the increase in the amount of custom
ment when the smelter is fairly
squared away Ior work.
"The plant, will be erected at Wa
busca, about a5 miles from the mines
of the company and on the Goldfeld
branch of the Southern Pacific. From
that point to the mines and beyond, to
the terminus is Smith valley, the Cop,
per Belt railway furnishes transporta-
tion facilities. At the terminus is situ-
ated the Nevada-Douglas mines, which
will furnish 800 tons of ore daily TO
the new plant The mines of the
Mason Valley company have already
developed 100000 tons of ore.
FThe power used will be electrical
throughout. The location of the
plant has been decided on with the
view of developing the largest possible
tributary districts, and at the same
time be near a cheap source of eco
nomic power. The completed plant
will involve an expenditure of not less
than $3,000,000.'
When asked for his opinion on the
possibilities of the new electrical re-
duction of low grade ores, Mr.. Labar-
the said:
"Of course, the electric method is
nothing but the use of the electric
furnace instead of fuel for the reduc.
tion of ores. The strength of the cur
rent varies with the classes of ores
treated, hut the experience of smelter
men has been that in good practice the
power would have to be furnished at
from $S to so per horse power per
year. in order to compete with the pres
ent fuel rates.
''lt should be remembered that this
process has nothing in common with
the electrolytic process of refining
metals. That is comparatively old
subject
