GOLD CIRCLE MILL
TREATS QUEEN ORE
DISCOVERY SAID TO BE
ONE OF BEST IN
DISTRICT

George Hayes, who is operating
lease on the Judge property at
Gold Circle, was in Reno Saturday
and reports the district is in a very
prosperous condition with three
mills in operation.
THE strike in the Gold Circle
Queen is one of the best ever made
in Gold Circle" said Mr.. Hayes.
"Just before / left camp the lessees,
Brown & Jacobson. leased the Rex
mill for $500 a month, l vas in
formed. They will operate it on
Queen ore, and IL necessary, will
treat custom ores to fill in. The
leasers have 10 feet If high grade
mill ore in one drift on the 125-foot
level. They have been treating
some ore at the Coot's mill, but
this is a small mill and insufficient
for their output. The haul to the
Rex mill will be about four and
one-half miles but over good roads
and no steep grades"
Mr.. Hayes said there is more
leasing going on in Gold Circle
than for several years. Most OF
the ore is milled at the Elko
Prince mill, which makes a very
good extraction. The bullion out

Kenneth Ivanovich Klebnikoff,
recently a student of the University
of Nevada at the Mackay School
of Mines, pays that school a high
tribute for its equipment and in
structors. Klebnikoff is a young
Russian in the employ of large
mining interests in Russia. He has
been a student of the New Mexico
School of Mines, South Dakota
School of Mines and Columbia Liber-
al Science College.
1.-The Mackay School of Mines
gives one unusual opportunities" he
says, "In the summer months all
of the students gain valuable ex'
p~erience and additional knowledge
by working in nearby mines. Ny
experience has been that the eastern
college gives one a theory while at
your college l obtained actual ex-
perience."

country. 1t is too much theory. /

Klebnikoff is a we'll educated
young man. He has travelled ex-
tensively. On his return he plans
writing a book in Russian, telling
of his experiences in the United
States. He is at the present time
employed in one of the mines in he

MONTANA CO.. BUYS
LOST BURRO MINE
TRICT TAKEN OVER BY
TONOPAH COMPANY

According to reports, the Mon
tana Tonopah Mining company has
taken on option on the Lost Burro
mine in the Ubehebe country, Inyo
county. George Badgett, former
foreman of the Montana, is on the
ground for the purpose, it is said,
Of completing preliminary surveys
and sampling the property. The
Lost Burro is situated 55 miles
west of Bonnie Glare and four
miles from the station Of Ubehebe.
The mine has always been regarded
as a most promising holding, but
owing to various circumstances
every effort on the part of the own
ers to place it with a strong COM
pany failed to bring results. In
no case was the failure due TO
the value of the mine or representa-
lions of the owners.
Charles Garden, formerly super
intendent of the Tramps Con. was
one of the first to hold an option
and Charles Perry, of Tonopah, d.
one time had the matter before the
Tonopah Mining company on n
favorable report from Mr.. Burgess
and w. H. Blackburn. The option
iS said to have called for the Jay
ment of $4,000, but this is not
confirmed. At one time the nearest
water was six miles distant, but
lately a good flow has been develop
ed within a mile and a half of the
group. The mine carries one led sc

correspondent of the Gazette. The
wide diversity of ores produced in
several of the mines helps to main
tain stability and the good prices
commanded by silver and copper and
the fair prices paid for lead are
great helps in balancing things.
G~oodsprings has been lately con-
sidered as a producer of zinc ores,
but the zinc mines also produce lead
and silver and some copper, and
the copper pres all carry gold and

in platinum. The Yellow Pine mine.

considered not improbable that cop

largest asset.
The Boss Gold Mining company,
which created a sensation Is
months or more ago by the discov-
cry that its copper ores were rich
in platinum, has been working
steadily since the mine option was
forfeited and is shipping gold-plati-
nun ore to an eastern refinery at
the rate Of $4,000 a month. The
company has worked out a process
for the treatment of its pres locally
and likely will construct a small
plant for that purpose. The mine
was sold shortly after the discovery
of platinum became known and $780,

paid $4,000 on a purchase price of
100000, and then were compelled
to give up their option. Platinum

o'clock on Monday afternoon, a

history of the mine. was struck.
Operations were temporarily sus-
pended, and arrangements for the
unwatering of the mine with all
possible speed wee made.
A statement from the manage
ment was to the effect that the
mount of time required for the
renewal of mining was impossible
to estimate accurately, depending
upon the amount of damage done
to the Slopes, levels and drifts
which were flooded. Much lost

regained, but the mine will be

Immediately, and arrived yesterday

As soon as the seriousness of the
situation became apparent, a tele-
gram was sent ordering the pump,

by a crew from the mine at 5

The pump was loaded on a truck
