The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-12-19

DOD COnSOlluateu Mining COM
pany is going steadily forward
and Manager William Beaudry states
that the plant will be IN operation by
spring. j. E. Harrington, of New
York, president of the Nabob COM
pany and also of the Stewart Mining
company, was in Wallace Monday in
company with Mr.. Beaudry. He
came here direct from Tuscarora,
Nev, where the Stewart through an
subsidiary company, is erecting mill
on one OF the old silver properties that
made Tuscarora famous many years
ago. Like all mining enterprises, work
on the Tuscarora property was seri-
ously hampered by labor conditions
during the war and the completion of
| the mill has in consequence been
greatly delayed. Mr.. Harrington Wis
tied the Nevada enterprise for the
purpose of getting in personal touch
with the interests of the Stewart
company and it was for the same rea-
son that he came to the Occur
] u AltIltS, lllt cOllllOl VI llle INetbtD pb-
ing held by the Stewart. He devoted
considerable time to the inspection of
the Nabob holdings and to going
over the plans for a mill as formulate
ed by the manager, William Beaudry.
Work on the Mill.
Preliminary work of constructing
,,oin 10 a1raody i,ndar Utav rrba
foundation is being laid, and much of
the paraphernalia at the Silver King
mill, owned by the Stewart, Is being
moved to the Nabob millste. 1t is
probable that much of the machinery
in the old mill will be utilized, al
though on this point it is understood
no definite conclusion has been reach
ed 1t is understood that while Mr..
Harrington was here he authorized
Mr.. Beaudry to proceed with the de-
velopment of the property by increas-
ing the force at the mine, which
probably means that by the time the
mill is ready to receive ore there will
be large tonnage available above
|
ready a large amount of ore blocked
out above the Denver tunnel, which is
connected by raise from the Nabob
tunnel. Repairing the railroad track
on Pine creek brings rail transporta-
ton within about two miles Of the
proposed Nabob MILL
Tuscarora Property
The present price of silver and the
prevailing opinion that it will not go
lower in fact that the tendency will
be toward a higher price, gives spe-
cial interest to the property acquired
by the Stewart company at Tusca-
rora. In the old days when Nevada
earned the title of the Silver state"
Tuscarora was one of the booming
camps that produced millions in
white metal. But the crude methods
of mining and milling in those early
days, as compared with methods of
today, only saved the cream of those
rich deposits and the old dumps con-
tain silver values that promise rich
returns when retreated by modern
milling methods. Examination of the
old underground workings has also
disclosed that much ore was left by
those pioneer miners as too low grade
to yield a profit, but which can be
mined and milled at a handsome pro-
fit now. 1t is one of these old mines
and dumps that the Stewart has ac-
quired, after a thorough examination
and mill tests. The mill under con-
struction is of course especially
adapted to the ore and dump mater
ial to be handled and it is expected
that the rejuvenation of this old mine
, will be accompanied by rich returns
that will rival the record of other
, days Several other companies are
preparing to rework old Tuscarora
mines in addition to the Stewart.
