Uolu OlTCle mas u newspaper tndt
would certainly attract attention
anywhere, says the Humboldt Star.
1t is named The Gold Circle Porcu-
pine" F. j. Benneson, the editor, is
one of the merchants of the camp,
and in his Introductory he says that
he is assisted by a corps of able min
ing and society experts, and that the
daily telegraph news is received over
the longest leased barb wire fence in
Elko county. The newspaper is not
printed with type, but by hand and
the copies run off on a mimeograph
on blank leaves taken from an old
ledger. The price of the paper is 10
cents a copy. The following newsy
items appear in the paper:
Owing to the stringency of the
money markets Of the world for the
last few years, Gold Circle has had
many delays in it's development, but
from the present outlook conditions
would indicate a good. healthy re-
vival.
THE Sleeping Beauty mine is still
in Sunderland. but indications are
that Prince erasmus will be able to
wake her up this season. The Sleep
ing Beauty is a very good property
and has a ten-foot Lane mill on the
ground.
Keep your eye open for the Sep
TENDER Morn mine.
"A moving picture theater Is one
of the near possibilities. and no
doubt would be an assured fact If
our camp payroll justifies.
THE (hot) airship line is making
daily runs and will be kept busy I'M
til other business overshadows the
same.
THE Gold Circle brass band. al
though of number few, are still able
to render their sweet strains. They
do not claim to be professionals; II
they were they might have the honor
of presenting their talents in a sc
movie on Market street, San Fran
cisco. So they have hope.
"One of our citizens recently re-
marked that a sc movie would look
like grand opera just now.
THE first edition of the No. l
copy of this paper will be limited, so
come early and avoid the rush.
with the proper support of our
citizens we could work up somewhat
of a weekly paper and eventually
have it printed in the regular way.
THE editor will tell you all the
news he can out of the best e~ffusions
of the people whom know
"Mr. Coots has about 70 tons OF
$50 ore on the dump and is develop
ing more.
Charles Randall has the contract
for hauling the Price ore to the Rex
mill and is making good progress.
81. L. Savage, principal owner
and Frederick S~harpless, consulting
engineer of the Elko Prince, were
with us for a week looking over and
planning big operations for the COM
ing season. 1t is to be hoped that
they will be able to see their way
clear to erect a modern mill this
summer. Both gentlemen left fol-
New York Wednesday.
1.-The Elko Prince, since resuming
operations in April, has been max
ing good progress along all lines.
The repairs to engines and equip
ment necessitated an unavoidable
delay in getting started, but every
thing is running very smoothly. A
station is being cut on the $50 level,
and upon it's completion a shaft will
be sunk to depth. The Prince Is a
proven property of great merit.
ut is rumored that the Star will
at an early date resume operations
on a larger scale. 1t is to be hoped
so, as the Star Is one of the large
properties that has showings of
great promise.
1.-THE Rex is in full operation at
present. Ore from the Niles and
Cassowick lease on the Rex is now
being treated. Ore from the DOno-
van lease and the Corbett lease on
the Grande is on the ground. The
Elko Prince company is now deliv-
ering 100 IONS of ore to the Rex mill
for a test run. The leasers OF the
Rex mine and mill, Messrs. Howell
and Ladelle, report that custom ore
from all over the camp will be treat
ed with all possible speed.
at has been currently reported
that he Queen. a mine of promise,
will resume operations this summer.
