GOOD PRODUCTION
AT GOLD CIRCLE

7. p. Little, of the Rex Mill and
Mining company, of Gold Circle, is in
Winnemucca. Little is associated
with b. p. Howell in mining opera
tions, which include the Judge, Rex
and portion of the Colorado Grandee
properties.
The recent advance in the mining
success and development of the Gold
Circle district is owing its Importance
principally to Messrs. Little and How
ell. They renewed the milling opera
tions of the district and were instru-
mental in proving the great ore de-
posit of the Rex mine, where others
had quit and pronounced "it's no
use.' Little, when seen today, had
the following grist from the district:
"The Rex mill is being crowded to
its full capacity by our own and
leasers' ores. The mill averages about
35 tons of ore day of an approx
mate value Of $25 per ton: If the
mill capacity were larger this tonnage
could be doubled times over, for the
steady increase in production by the
leasers and our own capacity to pro-
duce would keep much larger mill
grinding and reducing. This de-
fciency will be remedied in the near
future
ssThere are eleven sets Of leasers
taking out pay ore and banking in ad-
dition large quantities of lower grade
ores which will ultimately be reduced.
"Distinctively strong and profit
able leases are those Of Hayar and
Story, on ground near the Hard
scrabbles. They have picture ore.
The Lark, the Thomson lease and like
leases are making good and bringing
ore to our mill to grind and save
values.
Grub Brown, on the sHardscrab-
bles, is taking out ore which carries
more than average ton values to the
pound. Over 5000 of gold in a pound
of ore is worth something, and it il
stated that Brown, from his holding,
has in a very short while extracted
some $4,000 of gold from highgrade
streak in the Hardscrabbles' at the
same time mining couple OF feet OF
| first-class mill ore.
"Our properties, the Rex, Judge
and a lease on Colorado Grandees, are
excellent exhibits of the profitable
mining possibilities of Gold Circle. In
the three properties we have demon
strated strong veins to depth, with
good sized, lasting ore bodies, which
pay handsomely to mine and reduce.
"Paul Ehlers has opened new
shoot of ore towards the Hillside
group on the Elko Prince. It is on
parallel vein to that on which the
company has made such rich demon
stration. 1t is good, first-class ore,
too.
"The Eastern Star company has
contracted for the delivery Of $50
tons of freight from Redhouse to the
mines. This means machinery for
milling plant and additional equip
ment for the mine.
ssThe Queen leasers are opening
new layers Of ore on that property.
The Esmeralda and Golden Chariots
are likewise doing preliminary work
with q view of enlarging their opera
tions and production.
HTo facilitate and aid in the larger
and more aggressive development Of
the district a number Of the companies
owning considerable of the best min
eralized area have programmed cam
paign of development and announce
that they will grant leases to men who
will work and desire to take their
chances to work leaseholds, which will
be granted on liberal terms.
Gas a whole, the district is fully
in line for an uprise movement to
Justify which it has the goods with
proper showings therefor. Gold Circle
lis more than making good. It is >
winner. -
