SEES BENEFITS
OF FLOTAT|ON
FINANCIAL PAPER DECLARES
PROCESS WILL INSURE
FUTURE OF CAMP

New processes of milling refrac-
tory ores, coupled with the prevail
ing high prices of copper, seem
to be having an important effect
in the Goldfield district, where a
genuine, sane and solidly-based
mining revival seems to be under
way says the Financial News.
The flotation process of hand
ling ore is being extensively I'm
troduced in this district, after ex-
haustive experiments which have
seemingly proved its enormous
economic value in this district.
Under the beneficent new condi-
tions made possible by this last
and greatest forward step of the
chemical and metallurgical engineer
it now seems probable that quite
a number of Goldfield properties
in which large tonnages of low
grade, gold-copper-silver ores have
been exposed-this ore of too low
grade to be shipped to smelter and
containing too much copper and
refractory agents to be economi-
cally cyanided-will be enabled To-
pay their own way hereafter, and
possibly placed on the dividend
list.
At least, a number of them
will be enabled to carry out ex-
tensive exploration campaigns and
pay their own way, and their
exploration work may at any time
develop new bonanza mines in the
district.
Flotation equipment of 1000 tons
daily capacity will be in operation
in the big mill structure of the
Goldfield Consolidated Mines COM
pany within a short time and plans
are under consideration for the ell
largement of the flotation plant
of the Nevada Metal Extraction
company, on the Florence pro-
perty. Workings of several other
properties are being thoroughly
sampled, as are many of the old
low-grade dumps, 20 determine the
practicability of installing addi-
tional flotation equipment here.
The success achieved by the
Goldfield Consolidated in straight
mill feed has stimulated the con-
viction that numerous other pro-
perties can be wade to yield n
profitable production, if facilities
car be provided for the treatment
of their product by the flotation
process.

TWO ARE PINNED
UNDER AN AUTO
MIRACULOUS ESCAPE FROM
DEATH IN ACCIDENT ON
Ida ROAD

Nothing but the fact that they
were riding in a lightweight car
saved Wallace Mcneil and Mrs. A.
J. Wilson, wife of the proprietor of
the Goldfeld hotel, from meeting
death in an automobile accident
on the Ida road early last even
ing.
Mcneil. who owns a Ford run
about, was teaching Mrs. Wilson to
drive the car. They went a short
distance from town and we're re-
turning when Mrs. Wilson lost con-
troll of the machine and sent it
over a five-foot stone embankment
into a gully 1t the roadside not
far from town.
The car was going slowly on a
straight stretch at the time and
the tire tracks show that after
taking a urn out of the road and
away from the culvert, it was
driven straight to the edge. 1t
tumbled off and rolled v pin
ming both occupants beneath il.
When the two were lying under the
ear, Mrs. Wilson told Mcneil that
If he could lift 1t slightly. he
would release her. With a last
effort before losing consciousness,
he managed to lift it a few inches
by raising his body from the ground
and Mrs. Wilson crawled out and
walked to a nearby dairy for help
She returned with the dairyman as
an auto driven by Herbert Francis
co, an route from Bishop, was pass
ing. Francisco was stopped and
Mcneil was taken from under the
machine, unconscious. The injured
man and oma were taken to
town in Francisco's car.
Mcneil and Mrs. Wilson are now
confined to their rooms. Mcneil
is suffering rom a broken rib and
Mrs. Wilson is under the care of
a nurse, having three broken ribs
and a scalp wound. Her body is
also badly blistered as the result of
her clothing having been soaked
by gasoline as she lay under the
ear. The auto was badly wrecked.

ranged for vagrancy. Two of them
claimed to be honorably discharged

a straight tale and pleaded so elo-

were held. Elko police officers say
they are determined to rid the town
of vagabonds who will not work.

House Dynamited at Ruth

The home of J.. E. VOORHEES, at

early in the morning. The eXplo-

deliberately planned attempt to take
the life of VOORHEES,, who is heaA
powderman for the Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper company at Copper
Flat. That he and his wife and sew
eral other people were nos killed is
miraculous. The explosion caved in

quite a large force of miners and
graders preparing for the new mill
which he has just purchased in

This mill will be completed and
in operation within 80 days. The
lumber for the mill and new build

hauled by teams for the mines.
The mill machinery was all con-

San Francisco. All of the ma
chinery is to be delivered within
the next 2 days at Jungo.

County Treasurer. M. q. Mortensen,
and Ed! Johnson, member of the
Board of Supervisors, are in Daven-
port this week attending the state
convention of county officials. A very
elaborate program has been laid out
by the people of Davenport, who are
past masters In the art of entertain

make every moment pleasure while
the visitors are within the confines
of the Estate of Scott"
The convention lasts three days
and during the afternoons the bust

stone of his life Tuesday. In arriving
at this ripe age, Mr.. Soar is, still en-
gagged in the active pursuits of life.
and has the proud distinction of hav-

ERNEST STEERE
/. NOT FOUND
Audubon County Young Man Sud-
denly and Mysteriously Disap- .
neared Monday

A report gained circulation here
this morning that Ernest Steere, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Steere, living
south of Gray, who suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared early Mon
day morning, had been found dead,
a short distance from where the auto
mobile accident occurred. This re-
port is erroneous and no whereabouts
of Steere have been found. Last
might a clew was picked up at Manil-
la, but as yet has developed no re-
suits. A young man answering the
description of Steere, with scratch
or cut on lis forehead was seen to
Eet on a Milwaukee train at Manila
Monday morning. 1t was thought
that possibly this was Steere.
However, his whereabouts this
morning remain as deep mystery as
before, and thorough search is be-
ing conducted by his relatives and
friends.
Early Monday morning, Ernest
Steere, Isaac Campbell, Pat Stewart
and Tom Markley were returning
from attending dance a short dis
lance north of Manning. They were
riding in an automobile, and Steere
was driving. A mile and half north
of Manning they ran into a buggy,
and the four occupants of the auto
mobile were thrown out, and some
seemed to be apparently badly hurt.
All four were brought to Manning for
>medical attention. Steere did not
seem to be hurt much, il at all. When
they arrived at Manning, he told the
other boys that he was not hurt and
that he would not go to the doctors
office with them, but remain where
he was. After their visit to the doc
tors office, the others returned to
where they had left Steere. but he
had gone. Knowing that he was not
hurt much, they thought that pos
sibly he had met an acquaintance, and
would be back shortly, and were not
alarmed about his absence. Later,
when he failed to make his appear
ance, they commenced to make
search, but no trace of him could be
found.
His sudden disappearance is in
deed mystery. Many who are fam
iliar with the facts in the case. feel
certain that Mr.. Steere is still alive,
and that he was in a dazed condition
because of the accident, and feeling
that he might be held responsible for
the accident, as he was doing the
driving of the car, decided to leave
temporarily. We understand that the
accident was bad one, the buggy
being completely demolished The oc-
cupants escaped uninjured. In the
automobile party. it was found that
Campbell escaped without any injury
Stewart sustained sprained wrist,
and Markley an injured knee.
Mr.. Steere's parents had gone on
an automobile tri pto the lakes and
had left their farm in Ernest's care.
They were reached by telephone, and
informed of the disappearance of
their son, and returned at once.
