Tungsten mining is becoming an
important industry in Nevada and
because of the high price COM
manded by the metal it promises
to add materially to the revenues
from the industry.
At Sodaville, the Atkins, Knoll
company has completed its 100
ton concentration and it is in opera
alton. The company also contin-
es to operate the mill at Boris
siding, five miles north of Luning
which is leased from the Del Mon-
tie Gold Mining company. This
mill has been equipped with some
new machinery and the capacity
extended to 40 IONS per day, so
that the two mills have a combined
daily capacity of 140 tons. One
hundred and sixty men are en-
ployed at the mine, which is open
ed to a depth of 800 feet.
Active construction is under way
on the 75-ton concentration which
the H. NJ. Byllesby company is
building at Toulon, a station on
the Southern Pacific railroad 25
miles south of Lovelock. While
construction work is being done
the company continues to ship its
product to Utah for concentration.
The mines at Ragged Top, II
miles from Toulon, continue to de-
velop tungsten ore of good grade,
shipments averaging 4 per cent.
Two tractors are employed hauling
ore at Miriam, where it is loaded.
Both the Atkins-Kroll and Bylles-
by produce scheelite ore. The Atkins
Knoll property was purchased for
$4,000 before the price of tung-
stem attained abnormal figures. The
Ragged Top mine sold for $250,00O
on a bond when a raw prospect and
is believed to be n of the larg-

crimes that have been laid at the door
of the gang, which IS composed Of

"preyed on all sorts OF persons No
