Active construction work has be-
gun on the reduction plant at the
shale beds, one mile south of Elko.
The engines, r~etorts, c~onveyors, fur
naces, ETC., have arrived, and En-
gineer Browne, who is directing the
construction work, stated today that
he hopes to have everything in readi-
ness for the starting OF operations
within ninty days.
For the last several months, Chas.
Glider has been actively engaged
with a force of men, developing
the shale body, and he already has
enough material on the dump to
start operations. Before the plant
shall have been completed, he will
have enough to keep it going for
a number of months.
Mr.. Glider has started a three
compartment incline shaft and has
followed the shale body 100 feet.
At the surface the body is only
eighteen inches wide,1 while at the
bottom of the incline it is nearly
five feet, where 1t is richer in oil
and other values. Closer to the sur
face the action or the elements
leached a part of the values. From
shale cropping at the surface only
twenty per cent of oil was extracted,
while at the hundred foot level the
yield was thirty-five per cent.
At the bottom OF the incline
cross-cut was started, to cut an
other and larger vein. This cut j:

Some of the ore from the property
has run as high as 5000 and $500

said to be one of the most pro-

The Silver Bow section was the
scene of much activity some years
ago. A camp of several hundred

poses three feet of good shipping
ore. Samples from this ledge
brought to town by Mr.. Triplett
assay three ounces in gold, 30

SHALE BEDS Of ELkO PROMISE
BIG PRODUCTION OF GASOLINE

and the plant will be located below
this trestle.
When the shale is taken from the
mine it is put through a roll mas
~ticator. 1t is then conveyed through
large furnace tanks by means OF
screens, where the heat p~recipitates
the oil. 1t then goes through scrub
bers, acid and roasting tanks, where
every particle of oil is extracted.
The residue is then crushed and
passed through a 200-mesh screen
and is converted into d~ecolorizer,
which is said to be several times
more valuable in sugar refining than
bone-ash.
Tests show about 600 pounds of
oil to the ton. This oil, when cool
ed, is of about the same consistency
as butter, and from this the para
line is extracted. About zoo
pounds of parafine is taken from
500 pounds of oil. This product
is light amber in color and is
ready for the refinery. The oil is
of good quality and is capable OF
being converted into the highest
quality gasoline.
The initial plant will be OF 90
tons capacity. 1t is financed by r. M
Catlin, one of the most widely
known mining men in the world.
Mr.. Catlin has been conducting ex-
periments for two years and is con-
fident that an industry can be de-
veloped which will be second to none
in the state.

BULLION SHIPMENTS

TRICT TREATING ORE OF
HIGH GRADE

Eight bars of ~gold-silver bullion,
containing 1900 pounds have been
shipped to the San Francisco mint
by the Elko Price, the product for
June of the mill. The bullion is
said to be worth about $3.50 per
ounce, which gives a value of
than 10000 to the lot. Three
mills. the Elko Prince, Rex ana
Coot's mill, are running on ore.
A fine body of ore has been open
ed by lessees in the Gold Circle
Queen mine, which lies between the
Eastern Star and Esmeralda mines
in the southeastern part of the dis
trict. The ore was struck in eX-
tending the south drift from the
main shaft on the 125-foot level.
Eight feet of ore is reported to give
return of SIG to SIS per ton with
four feet of $50 ore on the footwall
The ore is being milled at the
CoOt mill a short distance away.
The property was visited last Satur-
day by l.. G. Campbell of Winnemu-
cca, secretary-treasurer of the COM
pany.
Paul Enters has 1000 tons of So
ore in his June Bell lease which will
be milled as soon as connection is
made with the cross-cut driven
from the main workings of the Elko
Prince mine to the June Bell vein.
