one of the prominent mining operators
in the Gold Springs mining district that
conditions in these dlggings are greatly
improved. and operations at present give
promise Of greater results than have ever
been obtained before.
The management OF the Gold Springs
Mining and Power company has at last
succeeded in getting the power plant at
Modena into operation. which has start
cd all the wheels to turning at both
the mine and mill at Gold Springs
This plant was Installed by the West
inghouse Machine company. and some
difficulties were encountered in getting
the plant started off right but II seems
that these have all been overcome and
the company Is now entering upon an
era of prosperity. after a long period
of trouble and inactivity. The new
equipment at the mine and mill Is work
ing splendidly and good extractions are
being made in beth the amalgamating
and cyanide plant. David Lemon, one
OF the st-known miners in the state.
has lately been placed in charge Of the
mine and is now getting things rounded
out for an active campaign.
About fifty tons day OF 81 ore are
being put through the mill and this
will he largely Increased from day TO
day. On account OF the delays at the
power plant, the necessary work of de-
yelopment has been retarded, but full
force OF men is now employed at the
mine and new reserves will be opened
up. A crosscut is being run on the 300
level west TO the Talisman ledge, and
when this is cut an Immense ore body
VIII be available for extraction, This
ledge is traceable on the compeny's
property for over 1000 feet and carries
milling values of better than 81.
The work on the 600 level is opening
up the vein nicely and while the work
recently has been In the intersection
of the vein with the spar ledge, which
reduced the values somewhat, the higher
drift passes through the intersection of
the ledses,
The extractions in the mill lately, even
with the irregular running. have shown
The plant ut Modena. a big profit could
be secured from the amalgamating plates
alone. runs at several times giving re-
suits on a monthly basis OF several thou
sand dollars over expenses from the
plates alone.
Some work has been prosecuted lately
on the Gold Springs Consolidated COM
pany, and IL was learned that in short
erty on large scale. This Is one OF
the big properties of tho state, and is
only awaiting the touch of capital to
make 1t big producer. In several places
that runs over the property has been
opened up. and shows milling values
from So "a 81, in widths on the vein from
five TO sixty feet.
Il. E. Fuller. who has had a bond for
some time on the Horseshoe property,
which some years ago produced over
half-million dollars, has succeeded In in
teresting SOME English money In its de-
velopment and preparatory work is now
being carried on in order to map out
campaign on a much larger scale Mr..
Fuller expects TO work over the tailingS
and Is running a test now OF 1000 tons.
which is giving promise OF success
G. Pray Smith, who some wears ago
operated the Horseshoe property. has
succeeded In interesting some Boston
lodge. and now has force OF men de-
velopinG il. The Boston people behind
the Project are in earnest and there Is
some talk OF reduction plant being put
In at Deerlodsc for the Irus and other
properties.
Nearly everybody in the country. from

piece OF property, is doing the assess
ment work for this year. looking forward
to boom in the whole district on ac-
count of the operations and successful
running OF the power plant OF the Gold
with cheap power in this district tho
possibilities are greater than In almost
any OTHER camp around the country. AL
ready propositions are being put up to
ne management Of the Gold Springs
Mining and Power company for addi~

Modena plant would have TO be enlarged
by spring.
