Flotation Plant For
the Luning District

Plans for the construction of re-
duction works of large capacity for
the treatment of its own ores and
probably custom ores of the Santa
Fe district are being worked out by
the Wedge Copper Mining Company,
which proposes to erect a plant at or
near Luning.
Knute Fretiag, consulting engineer
and metallurgist for the Wedge Com
pany, has been working on a process
for the treatment of the carbonate
ores of the district by hotation fol-
lowing sulphadizing, and has pro-
gressed far enough to feel sure that
the metallurgicial problems can be
solved. In company with Mark Wal
ser, presidedt of the company, Mr..
Frietag will go to Reading, Pa,
June l, to lay the company's plans
before some of the larger stockhold-
ers.
The Wedge Copper Mining Com
pany was largely financed by group
of ockholders of Nevada Packard
of which Mr.. Waiser is president and
manager, and he feels certain that
there will be no lack OF funds for the
construction of reduction works.
While the company has been in ex-
istence but short time, it has u
development fund of $40, 900 in cash
and convertible assets, aad 400, 900
shrres of stock in its treasury.
At the mine the air compressor
and engine are on the ground and
being put in place and within few
days shipments will commence from
No. | Tunnel. 1t is proposed to
grade the ore to eight per cent cop.
per. The company has acquired
four more claims and the vein system
as mapped shows mile OF veins
within the holdings. The tunnel
has developed seventeen feet of ore
at depth of 500 feet oh the slope OF
the vein which has been opened up
by drifts for stoping operations.
Roads have been constructed and
necessary camp buildings erected
M der the direction of Superintend-
ent H. Q. Howard, who will conduct

perty.

Hawthorne Will Have Ballteam.

Hawthorne people will be glad to
learn that a ball team is about to be
organized here, and in all probability
an interesting series of games will be
begun with the nearby towns some
time next month.
1t has taken two years to wipe out
the memories of the defeat sustained
by the local players in their last
game with Nina, but they are now
beginning to realize that this was
the first losing ball team Hawthorne
has had for over ten years, which is
not such bad record after all
A dance will be given some time
next week, the proceeds of which will
be used for the purchase of the nee
essary uniforms and other parapher-

When it became known that an
important tungsten discovery had
been made on the Noble property,
which lies about one mile east of the
telluride group, the owners at once
began systematic search for the
new metal on their ground which re
suited in the discovery last week of
a large body of scheelite which car.
ries from four to ten per cent tung
sten.
development work will be pushed
on the new find, which is on the
same dyke as the Silver Dyke mine
which is being worked by the Atkins
kroll company, and Mr.. Miller states
that as soon as sufficient ore is
blocked out to warrant it, concen-
trating plant will be installed by the
company.
The Sodaville tungsten belt has
been proved TO extend for distance
OF at least two miles, as Noble and
Spencer are shipping ore from their
property nearly mile east of the
original strike.

New Tungsten Strike
Made Near Sodaville
HAWTHORNE COMPANY MAKES IMPORTANT DISCOVERY
OF HIGH-GRADE SCHEELITE ORE NEAR
SILVER DYKE MINE

What may prove to be one of the
most important mining discoveries
yet made in Mineral county has been
made on the ground belonging to
the recently Incorporated Tungsten
Gold-Telluride Mining company, the
in oorporators being j. II. Miller, Dr.
f. G. Pache, A. n Bradshaw, j. H.
Walsh and p. H. O'Niel.
This ground was owned and
worked for its gold con tent 60 years
by an Aurora company, one of the
interested parties being the late
Judge NJ. A, Murphy. The early
day miners failed to discover the
values that were carried in the tellu-
ride, and abandoned the property,
which was acquired by the present
owners in 1915, before the occurrence
of the tungsten excitement or the
discovery bv Noble OF tungsten in
the adjoining claims, it having been
their intention to develop the tellu-
ride veins, which carry values aver
aging $50 per ton.

Wingfield to Control Churchill
County Bank

For several days past rumors have
been current that change in the
control of the Churchill County Bank
was peading whereby George Wing
field would acquire majority of the
stock in the institution, says the
Churchill Standard.
Yesterday it was announced that
negotiations to this end had reached
a stage where it could be stated that
the deal had been practically closed
and all that remains to be accomplish
ed is the final adjustment of details
that are awaiting the return of Vice
President Thos. Dolf from California
for consummatiDn.
The Churchill County Bank has
long been regarded as one of the
soundest financial institutions in the
State, its directorate and stockhold-
ers being among the most substan-
tial citizens in the county. The en-
try of Mr.. Wingtield into this field
where he already has large and inn
portant mining, farming and other
interests, has long been considered
inevitable and that he has decided to
add the Churchill County Bank to
the chain of strong financial institu.
tions in Gold6eld, Reno, Carson and
Winnemucca, which he controls is
matter for local congratulation.

Celestial Pyrotechnlcs.

We had two rainbows in the sky
Thursday noon. They formed COM
plete circles around the sun and
while they were admired by some,
they were viewed with trepidation
by the timid, as being the forerunner
of great atmospheric disturbances.
Our devil who is wise (after he looks
up the encyclopedia), says the dis
play of two concentric rings around
the sun is known as II solar halo. 1t
is formed by cirro-stratus clouds
causing the formation of icy crystals
in the upper regions and acting like
prisms. Sometimes the phenomenon
is the forerunner OF storm.

Franconia Notch has been known for
years, is losing its head and Gov. Rol-

engaged recently in considering means
of repairing the loss.
Through Rev. Guy Roberts of White
field the governors attention was
called to the fact that wi0ter storms
had moved the stone, which forms the
forehead Of THE Great Stone Face"
the name by which the rock was i'm
mortalized by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
The great stone. which is in danger Of
toppling over, would carry with it the
rock masses forming the nose and
chin.
A return of the forehead stone to its
original position and the construction
OF buckle arrangement to bind 1t
firmly to the head is proposed.

receptions and generally to add to the
gaiety of the capital. Presilent-elect
Irigoyen has been n disappointment in

But for one short visit to Buenos
