SEEK QUICKSILVER
BENEATH old MILL
MINING MEN TO DRAIN GROUND
TO RECOVER ESCAPED
AMALGAM

j. w. Glenn, who recently came
to Carson from Oakland, in search
OF a business opportunity, has form
ed a partnership with Thomas Clark,
and together they will make al at
tempt to drain the ground where the
old Ophir mill stood, at Dayton, and
work the ground for the anialga.n
which is supposed to be present in
large quantity at the bedrock under
the old mill.
A great quantity of quicksilver
was used during the life of the mill,
leakage from the pans, battery and
settlers of the mill. This quicksilver
is generally very rich in gold and
silver when recovered from old
millsites, and it is hoped to make
a good profit from the enterprise.
Several attempts have been made
to clean up this old site, but the
great quantity of seepage water has
proved to much for those who have
tried it. The present parties will
install a centrifugal pump of large
capacity, and run it by the power of
an auto engine. and they expect to
have the bedrock exposed in & few
days after the pumping pant is in
working order.-Carson News.

DISTRICT IS PRODUCING
ORE FROM MANY PROPERTIES

Shipment from the district con-
gular output augmented from time
to time by an occasional car from
a new property. Next week the
Wedge Copper Mining company, OPP
perating in the Beeler Canyon, will
send out a SO ton car which should
run about eight per cent copper.
This car of ore was sorted from
the material broken down in driv-
ing the north drift on the tunnel
level, the second class being piled
on the dump. The company has
not undertaken stopping although it
has a large area opened up and
if desired could maintain a big
output. The property is equipped
with a large air compressor and
machine drills and is steadily de-
veloping.
The vein being developed is one
of three that makes up a monzon-
ite-lime contact. 1t was cut at a
depth of 900 feet by a cross-cut
tunnel and proved to be Is feet
wide. A drift was started north
into the hill along the hanging wall
where the ore makes into the lime
and has been driven ZIG feet from
the tunnel, all in ore of good grade.
Bunches of rich red oxides ming
led with high-grade sulphides have
maintained a high average and as
the drift gains depth in the hill
sulphides predominant.
The ore has a tendency to make
off into the lime, following the
fractured planes, and recently a
drift was started on a rich sui
phide stringer. 1t is not unusual
for these stringers to make into
large chambers of ore, that being

DRY CONCENTRATOR
ON CHRISTMAS CON.
LARGE TONNAGE SAID TO BE
READY FOR TREATMENT
by PLANT

The Stebbins dry concentration
that has been located at the Addi-
son mine for a number of years WAS
solo this week to the Christmas Con
solidaued mine and will be put into
operation Immediately.
The capacity of this mill is 60
tons per day. The Christmas has
about 5000 tons of mill dirt on the
dump or blocked out in the mine,
and as soon as this big tonnage
can be gotten out of the way and
milled other large bodies will be
opened up.
Erik Zenzen has a force of men at
work in Devils Canyon, cutting a
road through which to transport the
mill and take out the concentrates.
Parts of the road had to be blasted
out of solid rock and what for years
has been an inaccessible box canyon
will be one of the most active places
in the camp.
The methods to be utilized in
milling the big tonnage at the
Christmas have been planned out so
that the ore will be milled with
hardly any handling. The big
Slopes will be caved down to the
lower tunnel and the ore taken
from a chute into cars and rolled
into the mill. The ore at the Christ
mas uns low in lead, but high in
silver values, and will make an ideal
concentrating ore.
