COMPANY LEACH|NG PLANT COMPLETED

Today the Nevada-D Douglas plant
starts teaching ore. The big crush
ers have all been installed end every
thing is ready for continuous opera
ton The first of the week the
wedge furnace will be started and
within few days following tht
plant will be running to its full capa
city. The furnaces use oil for fuel
the ore drops through the flames and
the fumes pass through big flue to
the pachuca tanks. The ares pass
from the furnace to different tanks
and digesters and other receptacles
in the different departments, coming
out at the lower end of the plant in
the form of electrolytic copper. Al
present the tonnage that will be run
through the mill will average 25G
tons per day. The cost of treatment
is much less than the cost of smeIt
ing and the per centage of saving i
is much greater. This plant has
been constructed entirely under the
direct supervision of Mr.. Archie
Orem, the general superintendent Of
of the mine and plant. When he
began the experimental work two
years ago every detail OF the process
and the construction of the plant had
to be worked out. The part lat
caused the most trouble was the
mechanical construction, but taking
time and no thurrying too rapidly, Mr.
Orem has evolved from his labors \
plant that does the work and saves
the values. To construct the plant
has cost fortune, the expense be-
ing in the neighborhood of S275,000.-

the amount expended out of the mine.

satisfaction of seeing the plant in

BAD FIRE At N0RDYKE

During the high wind last Monday
afternoon the residence OF Hon. J. !
Wilson was discovered to be on fire
1t was first discovered by man en-
ployed at the mill who saw the
smoke issuing from the roof near a
chimney He gave alarm as effec-
lively as he could and run to help
fight the blaze and save the contents
OF the house. The hurricane that
prevailed caused the fire to spread SC
rapidly that but few articles were
saved these being from the kitchen.
Among the things removed were
some fine cut glass and china ware
which were placed on a table safe
distance from the fire, but the violent
wind overturned the table and broke
even this small amount of salvage
The quiekness with which the flame,
spread caused a loss of everything
save the clothes in which the occup-
ants OF the home were dressed. While
the financial loss amounts TO thou
sands OF dollars the most distressing
feature OF the disaster was the des-
truction of everything that accumu
lates during a lifetime in the family
treasures that no money can replace.
The only consolation in cases like
this is that none of the family are
hurt, yet next to the loss of loved.
one comes the loss of the family
home None of the family were at
home at the time except Mrs. Will
son. Miss Genevieve Wilson and
young Donald, Joseph, Junior, being
in Yerington and Mr.. Wilson al
Smith Valley. The only salvage
from the fire was diamond ring oi
considerable value belonging to Miss
Wilson. This was found uninjured
among the smoking embers shortly
afterwards. While the building can
be reconstructed, the destruction Of
the beautiful trees that surrounded
the home will take years to restore
Seldom do families show more love
for their home than this one. Its
hospitable doors were always open
to their friends whose numbers are
many and whose sympathy is pro-
found.

RAILROADS PROBLEM

SystemD carries on its payrolls al
average total of 42,0O0 people. o.
this number 2500 are cngincmcn, 280(
are trainmen and 1900 yardmen, the
men in these three classes numbering
$780, These 5000 men arc involved
in the present demands of the four big
railroad brotherhoods of a 25 pei
cent increase in wages and 81 l..
per cent increase in overtime pay
and the threat has been made that un
less their demands arc met the men
will refuse to arbitrate and walk out
If tie up of the system were effected
it would be for the possible benefit o
these men while the rest of the A..
600 employees would suffer. Th,
seriousness of such a situation bein.
created is obvious, not only to tn,
employees, themselves, but the mer
chants and business men of the cite
in which the railroadmen reside. The
trainmen and enginemen on ever,
road in the country are asking 70
the increase which the roads estimat
would add 100 million dollars t,
their payrolls if granted. Further
more, the men making the demand
constitute but l8 per cent OF the total
number of employees but already re
ceive 28sper cent of the total wages.

MINERAL COUNTY

In Rand district everything is
lively. All the mines that are being
worked are shipping ore as rapidly
as cars can be procured.
The Yerington Mountain is hauling
ore and shipping il as fast as the COM

seems to be a shortage.
Even old Mt. Grant comes to the
front with tungsten strike OF more
than usual interest. BenFisher is

of sitting still is 20 minutes. In th-
