on the RexalI mine they are now
/ installing a large compressor for ma
chine drilling and hosting. The work
on this mine heretofore has been nee
essarily slow on account of lack of
power; but from now on great head
way can be made. The management
feel certain that they will be able 20
open up the extremely rich ore shoot
which was found near the surface
some few years ago and which was
lost through a fault. Work that has
been done on this property lately has
demonstrated beyond a doubt the
trend OF this fault. and with the ma
chinery which is now being installed
the will be able to find and
utilize the well-known ore shoot.
The mill that the Winnemucca
Mountain Mining Company COM
pleted the last year is one of the
most complete and ~up-to-date cyanide
plants now in the State.
The mine is equipped with the
latest hosting plant, run by electric
motor. The gallows-frame is for a
double-compartment shaft and it IS
the hope of the management at an
early date to enlarge the present
shaft so as to utilize both sides
To supply the water for the mill
and culinary purposes, the company
installed a pumping plant near the
Humboldt river and the water is
pumped through a three-inch pipe
1880 feet, with a rise in elevation of
LIPS feet, to a 60,000-gallon storage
tank, which gives all the pure water
that will be required for a much
larger plant when the same is in
stalled.
The power for the mill is furnished
over a line erected during the last
year by the company, This line ex-
tends from the power company's plant
to the pumping station and from there
TO the mill. The plant at night has
the appearance of a small city, with
the mill. bunk-house, boarding house,
Office and the many sundry buildings
all lit up. 1t is seldom that a mine

With the same management that
has accomplished such good results
during the last year for the coming
year, this company is sure to show

wonderful results. The necessary
changes and adjustments incident to
starting a new mill have all been
overcome, placing the mill in first
class condition. With the large ore
bodies blocked out, the ore on the
dumps and being blocked out by pres
ent development, and with the large
tonnage that will be opened up upon
sinking the shafts on the Bonanza
and Rexall, surely gives this prop
erty a very pleasing outlook for the
