GOLD CHIEF MILL
PROVING SUCCESS

David B. Gemmill, consulting en-
gineer of the Gold Chief Mining COM
pany, returned yesterday from a trip
to Los Angeles, where he said he
found considerable interest being
taken in this camp, says the Phoebe
Record.
On his way home Mr.. Gemmill
spent a day at the Gold Chief to
check up the work done in his alb
sence and reports having found
everything in good shape. Since the
mill was placed in commission early
in the month twenty tanks of ore,
or about 500 tons, have been treated,
resulting in very satisfactory returns.
The ore averaged about Sc to the
ton, the tails running from 80 cents
to 81 a ton.
H. w. Rand, secretary and man
ager of the company, left Thursday
for his home in Portland, but eX-
poets to return in the near future.
Mr.. Gemmill was accompanied by
Mr.. Cloyd, a Los Angeles mining en-
gineer, who has come to assist him
in making an examination of the
Mendha mine.
During the past week the west
drift of the fourteenth level of the
Amalgamated Phoebe No. l shaft was
advanced IS feet.
A few tons of ore raised from the
twelfth level this week average so
ounces silver; the fines 20 ounces.
A lease has been granted to Tom
McCormac whereby he has access to
the upper 900 feet of the Raymond
& Ely fissure tributary to No. l
shaft.

Analysis made at the state univer-

ell show that the milk being sold in
Goldfield contains a higher percent
age of butter fat than is required by
law. In reporting to Inspector New
ell upon the samples supplied, the

Each of the samples was well above
the standard set for this state and
indicate the best showing for milk
samples we have ever obtained in

RUMOR OF COMPROMISE
IN NINE LITIGATION

Sudden activity in West End and
Jim Butler this afternoon started
the report that negotiations for a
settlement of the controversy had
resulted in both sides coming to an
understanding. West End was bid
at 80 in San Francisco without any
offers and there was a more sanguine
tone to the market.
At the local office there was no in
formation of any settlement, but a
private wire from San Francisco Of
fered the explanation that Clyde Hell
Ter was due to arrive there tomor-
row en- route to Tonopah from Brit
ish Columbia, and Cal Brougher was
credited with the remark that there
was a possibility of coming to some
sort Of an agreement.
One of the biggest boost reports
issued from the office Of any mining
company in Tonopah was issued this
afternoon by the West End in a
statement showing net earnings for
April were $~43,S36.3S. after deduct
ling $4,000 incurred in litigation
work that would have been saved to
the company under normal condi-
tions. The work is classed as dead
work." as it Is of no value in the
development of the mine at this time.
Had it not been for this the net
earnings would have been $4,000,
or close to the $4,000 at which COM
petent judges estimated the earn
jnpS a month agO-ROnanZa.

HEWITT CITY IS
ON MINING MAP

With a score of white tents pitched
over the hills in all directions and
new arrivals coming in daily on foot,
horse back and by automobile, the
new gold camp at Hewitt City. locat-
ed sixteen miles north and east from
Beaver City, promises to eclipse any
mining rush made in Utah in many
years, according to the latest news
from eastern Beaver county. The
new camp is on the Beaver gold belt,
about six miles from the old Sheep
Rock mine and two miles north OF
the Rob Roy.
e. C. McGarrey was talking to Lee
Lochner a few days ago.. Mr.. Loeb
ner had just come out of the district
after a weeks inspection. He said
it has some of the best surface indi-
cations he ever saw. The whole camp
is a sinking proposition, and it is
said that the Hewitt syndicate is
making preparations to sink a shaft
to depth on the gold belt.
Several automobile loads of min
ing men came in the other day all
TIE way 1IOIu lOhOpdh ohu
When they tipped OF the desert roof
of the world of Nevada and dropped
into Beaver City they felt as If they
had been transported to a little Par
aise with it's trees, green fields and
running streams of pure, cool water.
A letter received in Salt Lake yes
terday from one of the Nevada min
ing men who has been attracted to
the eBaver strike said: Il find in
travelling about ten miles south and
ten miles north a large area with
porphyry bikes running through and
good outcropping lodges. Out OF
thirteen samples taken to Goldfeld
eleven were assayed. They ran from
$500 and 1920 on down to 50 and
"a. All would warrant working.
Mr.. Hooten of Beaver made the
first sale in camp, selling four-ffths
of his interest in two claims on the
Wild Cat creek. Don't know the
price, but think IL goes into five fig
ures.
Zone automobile came in from Ne
vada and the occupants report sew
eral following loaded with Goldfeld
and Tonopah mining men.
People here are busy stalking
claims, and in case a person desires
to get in on the ground floor he must
not wait too long"
The Sheep Rock is handling about
ten tons of ore daily and making
clean-ups of gold bullion pretty regu-
larly. Work has been resumed on
the Beaver Gold. The shaft Is down
$50 feet. The drift from the foot
will be continued. The vein here
averaged about $40 in gold. This
group adjoins the Sheep Rock. =
