Describing conditions in the Gold
Circle district, in Elko county, the
Midas correspondent to the Elko
Free Press says:
Three months operation Of the
Dorr cyninide plant at the Elko
Prince mine has demonstrated the
complete success of the process on
Gold Circle pres with a bullion
production of $245,000. When the
mill was started up in December
it was found that additional equip
ment was necessary for successful
operation. The frst months run
with the new equipment resulted
in bullion production Of $4,000,
and the next two months each
produced $4,000. The last run
weighed 1900 pounds, and there
were eight and a half tons Of bull
lion, principally gold, but with a
large amount of silver.
The Elko Prince mine is distin-
guisher by the high average grade
o. it's ores. The report of Horace
v. Winchell, made in 1913 when
the mine was bonded to the William
Q. Ranft Syndicate of New York
gave ore reserves of 1858 tons
averaging $4S.97 per ton, a total
gross value of $1,16S,124. The
estimated net value was placed at
$929,594. Mr.. Winchell reported
the ore-shoot containing this ton
mage to have been developed for
a length of 600 feet, with an average
width of twelve inches.
The report refers to another
ore-shoot in the north workings,
which apparently just reaches the
horizon cut by the main tunnel
level, 800 feet from the surface.
which was not prospected, and a
vein lying to the west which show
ed values on the surface.
This vein which outcrops on the
June Bell claim, has since devel-
oped a fine oreshoot under lease to
Paul Ehlers and w. J.. Bowman,
who are sending 12O tons to the
company's mill. The company is
o driving a cross-cut to the June
Bell vein on the 300 foot level,
which gives entrance to the mill
ore bins. The distance to be
driven is 400 feet and this work will
prospect the intervening groun.

GOLD CIRCLE PROPERTIES ARE
MAKING SUBSTANTIAL OUTPUT

Mort Horton and George BraB
are in camp to start work again
at the Rex mine. which is owned
by Horton brothers of Battle Noun
tain. The Rex mine has produced
100000 above the 200-foot level.
Until November of last year the mine
and mill were leased to Howell n
Lille, who operated the mill on Gus
tom ores.
A number of leases and smaller
smaller properties are preparing
to haul ore to the custom mill.
Frank Gillian and RUDE Brown
have a lot ready; the Reaves
lease on the Colorado Grande No. 1
is ready for the teams; Randall has
completed a road to his mine up
the canyon and will start to bring
ore out. The Missing Link, which
lies south of the Rex, has a large
tonnage, some of which will be
sent to the mill and some shipped
70 the smelters.
The mines are In the north and
in the west part of the district.
The Esmeralda is in the south and
is equipped with a mill but is idle
at present. In the extreme east
ern part of the district is the East
ern Star mine which has produced
some very rich ore. The Eastern
Star is developed to a depth of
go feet and has a large vein of
mill ore which contains seams of
high grade. John E. PeltOn, who
developed the National mine, is the
chief owner of Eastern Star, and the
Remnants, bankers and merchants
Of Winnemucca, and GOlconda, are
heavily interested. Eward Reinhart
being president of the company.
The mine contains about 10000 tons
of ore above the 240-foot level
and it is expected that the company
will construct a mill this year,
The pres of the Elko Prince and
Eastern Star are similar, the values
being found in a banded quartz
containing seams of silver sui
phide, which frequently show free
gold. While silver is present in all
the ores of the district, gold forms
about 90 per cent of the values.
The veins are assures in rhyolite
i'm which all the rich gold mines in
Nevada have been found.

TIME AT MEETING

M. II. Lynch, T. F.. Dunn and
John Mangan returned today from
Reno, where they attended the
Knights of Columbus convention on
Monday and Tuesday. They report
a successful meeting, ending with a
big banquet and a most enjoyable
time throughout the visit of dele
gates.
State officers of the order were
chosen as follows: Frank S. Dunn
of Goldfield, state deputy; Frank
Kearns of Tonopah, secretary; Fred
Kinney of Ely, treasurer; and Leon
ard b. Fowler of Reno, state advo-
cate. The local council will put on
an initiation May 2S, to be followed
by a banquet at the GOldfield hotel,
when many visiting knights are az
pected from outside points.

TONOPAH Co. PLACERS

The Tonopah Mining company's
dredging ground in Breckenridge,
Colo. although the records show
4,7S2 acres remaining undredged,
really shows pay values proved by
diamond drilling to date to extend
over an area that will require about
ten years to dredge. Last year the
three dredges earned enough to pay
off all indebtedness of $93,750 on
the purchase price of the property,
and declared an initial dividend of
5 per ZEN in December. All three
dredges have been operating since
early last month.-BonanZa.

KLONDYKE DISTRICT is
AGAIN BECOMING ACTIVE

Ore of shipping grade is being
extracted from properties in the
Klondyke district, half way between
Gcldfeld and Tonopah. The dis
trict was discovered and the first
locations were made some 40 years
ago, and Chinese placer miners took
large quantities of placer gold from
the beds of dry gulches in the dis
trict. jim Butler was on his way
to this district when he discovered
Tonopah. Many shipments of high
grade silver ore have been made
from properties in the district and
the high price of silver has slim
ulated new activity in recent
months. James Golden, one of the
principal owners of the Original
Klondyke property. is again ex-
tracing rich ore, while a product of
shipping grade is being mined by
lessees, working a property owned
by Goldfield men.

F. S. Paul, who is conducting
mining operations in the Copper
basin district, returned last week
from an extended trip to California
points. During his journey he Wis
tied the tungsten mines at AtOlia in
Mohave county and saw much there
to interest him. This camp is the
scene of California's biggest tung-
stem boom and resulted from the
discovery that a large dump of one
of the big gold mines of the dis
trict contained a considerable pro
portion of tungsten. Further
search disclosed great quantities
of the mineral in the abandoned
mine workings as we'll as in The
surrounding properties and dumps.
Mr.. Paul states that estimates of
the tungsten content of the dumps
alone Of this district run up to
$2O,0OO,0O0 at prevailing prices for
tGngstic acid.
One novel feature of life at
Atolia noted by Mr.. Paul was the
fact that tungsten was recognized
as money current with the mer-
chant" and the leasers and bust
ness houses were provided with
scales to facilitate the purchase OF
different commodities settlement
