MILL IS
NOW OPERATING
PLANT Is AT PRESENT HAND
LING FIFTY TONS OF ORE
DAILY

The Sunset Mining and Develop
ment company, which vas organized
two years ago for the purpose of TAX
ing over the Tramp Consolidated
properties at Rhyolite, has complet-
ed its mill. The plant began oper-
atoms Nov. 10, and aside from shut
downs for adjustments on the ma
chinery, has been running c%ontinu-
ously ever since. The mill is de-
signed to handle 1000 tons per
month, but it has been thought best
to proceed slowly in the matter of
tonnage. To begin with twenty mesh
screens were used on the batteries.
Coarser screens have been sugstitu-
ed as the mill has demonstrated it's
ability to treat the ore until at pres
ent twelve mesh screens are being
used. 1t is expected hat eight mesh
screens will be employed finally. The
capacity is now eighty tons per day
and is steadily being increased.
The ore first passes through a
Blake jaw crusher to ten 1880
pound stamps, an Atkins classifier,
the tube mill, thickeners, the agita-
tors, a second set of Dorr thickeners
and then to a filter. The system is
continuous. so that there is a steady
stream of material flowing through
the mill at all times. Gold bearing
solution is decanted at six points and
finally filtered. The extraction is
reported to be over 80 per cen and
often up to 81 per cent.
Work has been resumed in the
mine and four slopes are being open
ed up. These are the Nelson, Louis
Vile, Elipse and Hobo. The ore bro
ken assays from SO to'$15 per ton.
all the values being in gold. The
last face samples from the Hobo
stope showed five feet of ore as
saying $23.4O. The main tunnel,
which is now in over 1000 feet, is
being steadily advanced. It's OBJ
~jective point is the Denver mine, the
most northerly of the group. The
tunnel still has nearly 1000 feet TO
go.

OLD CAMP AGAIN
COMING TO FRONT
BELMONT is TAKING ON A NEW
PERIOD OF MINING
ACTIVITY

The famous old mining camp of
Belmont. New, is to take on a new
period of activity and the old mines
are to be reopened. The Nevada,
California Power company is now
talking of extending the transmits
sion lines from Tonopah by way of
Manhattan to Belmont.
The history of this old camp IS
very interesting. 1t was discovered
before the building of the Southern
Pacific railroad and was known in
early history as Silver Bend. Later
the name was changed to Belmont,
county until 1905, at which time
the county seat was moved to Tono-
pah.
Belmont is $50 miles from the
main line of the Southern Pacific and
about "a miles from Austin, which
is on a branch line. There was no
opportunity for water power in the
vicinity, and so steam power was
used = made by burning sage brush
and scrub pine under the boilers.
This fuel was carried to Belmont on
pack animals and was sold in the
early days at SO a load, a load De-
ing what one burro could carry.
Several big mills and chloridina-
ton works were built. and brick fur
naces and smoke stacks were erect
ed. 1t is said that the bricks for
these were hauled from Kansas City.
and that they cost 81 each by the
time they landed in Belmont. Even
with this expense Belmont produc-
ed much profitable ore and boasted
a population of between 5000 and
10000 people at n time.
Among the mines of the district
there is none more than 500 or SOC
feet deep, and at the present time al
are filled with water. 1t is now
planned to unwater and reopen the
mines, using electric power, ant
with the modern methods of mining
and milling hundreds of thousands
of tons of low grade ore will BE-

ELY-G|BRAlTER
A NEW SHIPPER
COMPANY PLANS TO ERECT MILL :
DURING THE COMING
SUMMER

Since the Salt Lake people have
been in control of the Ely-Gibraltar
Mining company property located
two and a half miles north of Nc
Gill they have shipped approximately
$1,000 worth of lead ores. says the
Ely Expositor. 1t vas high grade
stuff, the last carload carrying 79
per cent lead, three ounces silver
and 40 cents in gold. Recently leas-
ers have been operating on the
property and the expectation is that
if they do not erect a mill next sum-
mer to treat a large tonnage OF sec
ond- class ore in sight that the COM
pany may carry out this proposition.
according to General Manager c. E.
Street of Salt Lake City.
At present a small force is driving
ahead the main tunnel. This is in the
mountain a distance of $50 feet. The
face is about 400 feet underground.
By carrying this channel ahead an
ultimate depth of 1000 feet may
be secured. The formation here is
silicious limestone. 1t is tough and
breaks badly. Accordingly progress
is slow.
Already the Ely-Gibraltar has ex-
posed three good veins of milling
grade. The third vas opened last
fall, in one place the ore is sixteen
feet thick, and Mr.. Street says the
disclosures justify the erection of a
mill. One of the veins is below the
main tunnel and the expectation is
to sink on it. In a number of places
on the porphyry punches of high
grade copper have been found, some
assaying up to 80 and 40 per cent
There are huge bluffs of silica which
assay SO to SO per cent pure.
About two years ago a great fiji
teen ton bowlder on the lead ore was
discovered. 1t was broken up and
shipped, averaging 74.4 per cent lead.
The men back of the Ely-Gibraltar
company are G.. E. Street. d. o. Will
ley, Thomas w. Jones and William
r. Davis of Salt Lake City and D. G.
Mcdonald of Ely.

COLODADO MAN BUYS
OLD CUMBERLAND NINE

Hal J.. Sisty of Rico, Colorado, who
arrived Wednesday and left by auto
for Osceola, is preparing to oper-
ate the old Cumberland mine that
was owned by the Boston-Nevada
company, a Denver corporation, and
which he has purchased. He will
put a few men to work at once. but
plans extensive mining and milling
operations that will be developed in
the spring.
The Cumberland mine is a jewelry
box. and some very rich gold ore is
being found in it, and 1t is believed
the property will prove to be ex-
tremely valuable when systematic
ally developed and opened.-Ely En-

THIRTY THOUSAND TAKEN
FROM SURFACE CUTS

j. w. Kroner of the Kroner
Hampton lease on the Packard mine,
returned to camp Wednesday after
several days visit with his family.
When asked as to the recent ship
ments by their leases, he stated that
regular shipments were being made
but that the returns from the last
two or three cars had not been re-
ceived.
The work has been largely of an
open cut nature, and yet in the time
the lease began in March up to the
present the gross receipts totaled
over $4,000. = Lovelock Review

NEVADA PACKARD
IS DOING NICELY
MAKING PREPARATIONS TO SHIP
TO THE NEW ROCKIES
TER MILL
SpeciaI to News and Tribune.

ROCHESTER,, New, Dec. 1.-THE
Nevada Packard Mines company,
which is shipping 125 tons q week
from the big ore body in tunnel c, is
preparing to be among the first TO
deliver ore to the new mill N
Rochester canyon, which is rapidly
nearing completion. The Packard
will send from fifteen to twenty-five
tons of ore that will average about
SIS per ton to the mill daily.
The ore body in tunnel c is fu,iy
ninety feet in width and the entire
mass is good mill ore. Two lenses
of shipping ore have been developed,
one of which is foul feet wide nnd
the other from four feet to twetie
feet across. On the latter shoot
the ore has been stopped to a width
of twelve feet in one phase With
average values of $50 pei ton, the
product being shipped without sort
ing. 1t was from this stope that
the richest carload of ore ever seat
out from Rochester was extracted. IL
carried $50 ounces silver and $50
gold per ton.
The Packard has been able TO
build up a good cash surplus while
developing the mine and has the
nucleus for a mill fund, it being the
intention of the company to build
it's own reduction works early next
year. The shipping ore and the ore
treated in the custom mill Will pro-
vide ample funds.
L. A.. Friedman of LovelOck, "ho
is said to have supplied the money
for the completion of the Rocnes-
ter custom mill, has taken up MS
option on 500, 900 shares of Roches-
ter Weaver and 10000 shares OF
Rochester mines stock, according to
advice from San Francisco. These
blocks of stock were owned by the
Mexican Gold and Silver Mining COM
jany of Virginia City, having been
taken over on a note for $4,000
given the company by Joseph F. Mem
eel on which Nenzel defaulted pa
ment. These holdings give Fried
man all but 160,0 900 shares of Roch'
este Weaver stock outstanding and
make him probably the largest in
dividual owner of Rochester mines
stock of which company he is presi-
dent.
Things are on the jump in IND
around lower Rochester. The Ne
vada Short Line railroad has rails
laid to the town and is kept hdsy
harling machinery and other sup
pies for the custom mill, a halt a
mile below the town. The mill build
iny is practically finished and much
OF the equipment has arrived AMI is
geing put in place. At the present
rate of progress, the big plant will
be ready for it's trial run by JaL.
Is, if the high power transmission
line from Lahontan is ready to fur.
nish the electric power. In the
meantime, the railroad will be on
pleted to east Rochester. where ii
will receive the ore from the Roctl'
es.er hills, Causstan and Big -Four
leases. 1t is understood that the
mill will be largely devoted to the
treatment of these ores for a time.
While the capaciI5 of the nil is
rated at 100 tons, it is expected that
it will treat more thar that when it
has beer adjusted to it's work.
