The Manchester Mines company
which bought the Tom Murphy prop
erty at lone last year is preparing 10
40 ahead with development on
large sca.e and Ia course Of an.
other six months lay the foundation
for one OF the most efficient mills
in the country Ten men win be
employed at the outset
NJ. j. Doolin, president Of the com
pany, arrived in Tonopah this morn
ing and left about noon for the old
camp where he win establish head
quarters and remain until the new
work has been put under way
Alexander Wise a Wnnemucea boy,
who graduated from the University
Of California in the class Of 1900, will
have charge as superintendent He
comes well recommended by Walter
Geddes, who reported on the property
before It was taken over by the Man
chester syndicate.
The plans Of the company contem'
plate the erection Of mill that will
be one OF the largest in Nye county
with capacity that will be decided
on as soon as the development OF
the ground reaches stage where
tonnage can be mapped out and some
idea gained Of the possible output
which may be maintained from the In
ception Of the mill.
Tne Manchester company is back
ed by some Of the wealthiest men OF
England who have the utmost conf
dence in the judgment Of Mr. Doc
lin and who will see that there is nc
lack OF funds to carry out any deyel
opment which may be agreed on
These plans are still in a state d
embryo and there is no danger o
the mill being failure through pre-
mature adoption of any system OF re
ductlon as nothing will be done y
that direction until the resources o
the mine have been tried out thor
oughly by means OF experimental
shipments Of ore and the prosecution

ers or transportation companies. Then
the action of the Railroad Valley
Saline company proceeding with the
expenditure Of thousands Of dollars
for the purpose of developing the
rich farm land under their control
led to the suspicion that the men be-
hind these projects had some reason
for believing there was something
more than remote possibility OF Sc
curing a railroad through that coun-.
try.
During the recent troubles Of Borax
Smith it is said that he was found
perfectly willing to let others share
his railroad interests in Nevada and
that he acquiesced in the plans Of
the Western Pacific to take over the
survey and also help pay the bonds
Of the Tidewater which are guaran-
teed by Smith by furnishing traffic
to pay for operating that stretch of
track along the edge of Death Valley.

j. R. Finlay, former manager of
The Goldfield Consolidated and a rec
ognized authority in mining engi-
neering and management offers the
fellowing suggestions for revision
Of U. S. mining laws in the Mining
World:
The law should recognize the ces-
sion of mineral rights as having TAX
en- place in all fees heretofore grant
ed by the government in its sales OF
land.
With lands still remaining in the
possession of the government, there
should be no absolute cession of min
eral rights; but the government
should adopt the policy of granting
concessions, /. e., leases TO mining
companies or individuals with some
reference to the needs OF the situa

portance and there is no reason fol
any effort to conserve them, The
policy of leasing lands for mining
these metals should include a nomi
nal royalty more for the purpos,
of securing publicity than for an!
other reason. Other metals are NOR,
important, but the mining of copper
zinc and lead is so closely associated
with that of gold and silver that i
is not clear how they could be treat
ed differently. 1t might be, however
that the government should have tn
right to promote the mining of eY
tensive low grade deposits on di
ferent basis of royalty and scale c
operations.
In regard to iron. coal and othe
more common products, the policy {
