MILLING PLANT FOR
WILLOW CREEK NINE

rhe Willow Creek Gold Mining
company, which recently passed I'M.
der control of Salt Lake capital. has
made a strike of considerable i'm.
portance in a crosscut from it's main
working shaft by picking up the
ledge which had faulted above. The
management is now of the opinion
that it has the ledge in permanent
place. and this with other important
development work, is considered a
sufficient guarantee of ore reserves
to Justify the erection of a milling
plant, for which plans are now being
drawn. 1t is expected that the plant
will be erected and in operation
within a few weeks.
The property was originally pur-
chased and opened up by Ely and
McGill residents, who were lacking
sufficient means to carry the enter
prise on as rapidly as they wished.
hence they parted with a controlling
interest to prominent mining men of
Salt Lake City, who are amply back
ed with means necessary to put tho
property on a permanent paying
basis.-Ely Record.

made in the preceding nine months
of 1915, according to reports made to
Mining and Engineering World,
dividends were paid during the 10

GOLD IS FOUND At
POINT NEAR 0REAMA
DISCOVERY OF IMPORTANCE
MADE NEAR OLD RYE PATCH
NINE

The discovery of gold in the foot
hills of the Humboldt range, mid
way between the O'Neal ranch house
and the Rye Patch mine. is attract
ing the attention of miners and
prospectors. The discovery is on
the Humboldt river decline. 1t is
about three miles from the Southern
Pacific railroad, easy of access and
! workable by tunnel from the base
of the high granite range so distinct
in the formation of the Rye Patch
and LaTosca mine section. 1t is
northeast seven miles from Roches-
ter and one mile west from the
noted Rye Patch mine, from which
such a notable production was
made during the early seventies. The
Rye Patch mine has a reputed
production of millions of dollars.
Frank Laux is the ~discoverer, and
he, with the Vance brothers and
John Newman, manager of the Hum
boldt Consolidated Mines company,
own the group of claims upon which
the find was made, and known as
the Modoc group.
The discovery is from present
work, and one of the best and most
promising made in recent times in
a section Astounding with varied rich
mineral and where not
withstanding the great Rye Patch
production, rich prospects are open
and untouched. The strike is in the
heart of a mineral territory that
CLEANS for a more respondent fu-
ture than that wealthy pas, with its
bestowal of fortune for those who
made history and gave fame to the
early days of Unionville and sur
rounding camps.
The find is on a contact with a
10O-foot porphyry dixie which di-
vides the massive lime and granite
reef structures so prominent and
distinct in the formation of this
Humboldt section. The vein is
clean-cut. It shows six feet wide,
well m%ineralized, with a foot streak
on the porphyry footwall carrying
1876 ounces gold and $50 ounces
silver, giving a total value of $351.2S
per ton.
The owners, Vance brothers, New
man and Laux, since it's discovery on
Wednesday, have gained a depth of
20 feet, with the vein charging with
its westerly dip and the high-grade
streak widening fin wedge shape.
There is jubilation in the camp for
every condition is favorable for q
big property. 1t is doubly gratifying
that these sturdy citizens and pioneer
prospectors are at the threshold of
~well-earned fortune. = Humboldt

BRECHE|StM
DIES OF PARALYSIS
FORMER SECRETARY OF UNITY
CLUB IS FOUND DEAD
IN BED

Peter Brecheisen, one of the ear
lest of Goldfield pioneers. died some
time during the night in his rooms N
the Casey building as the result of an
attack of paralysis. He vas found
shortly after the noon hour toaay
by A. S. Odds, a very close friend
aof the deceased for many years. who
went to Mr.. Brecheisen's rooms to
ascertain why he had not been
around this morning. as he had left
the hospital last evening and was
seen on the streets yesterday.
The end must have come when
Mr. .Brecheisen was asleep as he
had a cloth across his forehead and
his hands folded and was lying on
his bed as if he were asleep when
found. This was the second stroke
he had suffered recently, as he was
taken to the hospital several days
ago., after he had been found un-
conscious in front of the Unity
club.
Mr.. Brecheisen was we'll known
in this town and has been engaged
in mining operations throughout the
west, from Nome to the Central
American countries. He has been
connected with various Goldfield
properties and was in this district
before the camp was named. He
was until recently secretary of the
Goldfield Unity club.
Mr.. Brecheisen leaves a sister and
a brother. both of whom reside in
the east. He was about 81 years of
age and a native of New York state
and was a member of Islam shrine
of San Francisco. Funeral ar
rangements have not yet been made.

BOUND TO GET IT
SOONER OR LATER
WOUNDED OFFICER WHO WAS
"GASSED" DESCRIBES
SENSATION

An intimate sketch of a soldiers
feelings in this modern war is re
vealed in a letter from Major Rob
ert Lightbound, who was formerly
a Pullman conductor on the Sal
Lake route, running between Los
Angeles and Salt Lake City. The
letter was addressed to ]. s. Early,
city passenger agent at Salt Lake Of
the line with which Ligtbound was
connected. The letter is published
by the Salt Lake Tribune.
Major Lightbound, though a sea-
soned veteran before he entered
this great war, indicates in this
letter that he is thoroughly sick
and stunned by the awful conflict
into which he has been thrown. He
went through the Boer war in South
Africa and attained the rams 81
captain.
One day shortly after the pr sent
war began a letter cam to him in
Salt Lake giving him u commission
as major and requesting thai he re-
port for duty at once.
With the old fire of the battle
field Immediately kindied, Light
bound jumped at the chance to
take his place in the great strng-
gle and Immediately left for Eng
land. This is what he has to say
after less than IS months of fight
ing, his letter being daied at Pen
keridge Bank camp, S~taffordshire,
England, October 20:
Still alive and fit again. Ready
for the next go This war is no
joke at all. l wish it were over.
However, l don't expect l will know
when it is over.
You are bound to get it sooner
or later, and it's only a matter OF
luck how often you get wounded be-
fore you're finished. I've not seen
very much, as l was 'gassed' almost
as soon as | got out. Got through
that and went back and in our
third go l was hit by pieces of
shrapnel in a square at -. Had
to come back to get the pieces cut
out, and am now waiting to go over
again.
81 got a nasty scratch on my
cheek and neck from an over-famil-
lar German Cor Boscher, as we call
them. 1t will leave a scar, all
right.
"You see some awful sights and
smell some awful smells. 1t seems
as if there was no end to the bally
thing. You get hardened to it, but
you will never feel the same again.
You don't care whether you're hit
today or tomorrow, because you
know you have got to get it.
"It was fine when I had to leave
here, but it's awful up at this place.
We have no sun around here at ALL"

large number of sheep being ranged

of the large hay crop which the

has also influenced the sheep men
in the buying up of the available
