PALISADE, New, Jan. 22.-The first
carload OF gold ore from the Buckhorn
camp Of Nevada will be shipped out
next week for consignment to the pur-
chasing market, and will ultimately be-
come part Of the currency of the
land The value of this first carload
shipment is $l04,500. though the most
encouraging feature of the event is the
fact that practical assurance has been
given that other and perhaps more val
liable consignments will be Forthcoming q
regularly from now on.
Since the advent into the Buckhorn
district of George Wingfeld, who re-
Gently purchased a large block Of min
Ing. ground in the district renewed ac-
tlvlty has been noticeable among the
operators throughout the section, and
now plans are under way for extensive
operations and new enterprises which
Will mean still more work and prosper
ity for the camp.
One of the most important Of the
propositions which is fast assuming def
mite shape is the construction of a
custom gold mill of 200 tons daily
ing has already been underwritten by
the Underwriters and Guaranty com
pan1y of Kansas City, Mo. and the in
stailation of the new plant, it is stated,
VIII be started at once.
Tonnage in Sight.
A large tonnage of gold ore is already
on the dumps ready for mill treatment
to convert it into marketable prod
uct, and mill of even greater capac.
lty than the one planned could be kept
IN operation for three years on the ma
terlal already in sight. Besides this
the extensive exploitation work now
under way and contemplated is guar
antee Of still greater production to be
maintained in the future,
The mill ll-building company owns in
ITS own right number Of very valu-
able properties and claims which it in
tends developing vigorously, and there
are many other mines already in n po-
sltlon to furnish n regular output of
ore for treatment.
The Nevada Five' group. which is
owned by William M. Hennessey and
associates of Los Angeles, has an ex.
cellent showing of gold ore which was
opened up within the past two months.
AS a matter of fact, the vein was dis
closed within two feet Of the surface
and the grade of ore is sufficiently
high In gold to give handsome profits
over all expenses of operations,
This property is very advantageous.

tious exploitation, for drift can be
advanced on the ore shoot which will
secure depth of at least ESQ feet on
the ore body when driven not to ex-
ceed $50 feet in length.
Straight Milling,
One especially favorable feature of
the ores of the Buckhorn district, is the
fact that they carry no values IN any.
thing except gold, so that there is no
refractory or rebellious clement in the
product to interfere with its profitable
milling.
Since the first Of the year especially
the Buckhorn district has been particu
larly active, and it gives promise of
producing better results and more
wealth than other districts of the state
about which much more is said and
written.
The shipment Of this first car of orc
is but forerunner Of many more to
come-and In the near future at that.
