building will be divided into two re-
firing rooms, each with entrances

fences, one of the rooms will be
equipped with laundry tubs that will
often be greatly appreciated by per-
sons who have spent considerable
time in travel over the dusty roads,

ments in addition to rest room for

BEWARE OF PARIS GREEN ON
CELERY FROM THE COAST

Watch for the presence of paris
green on celery shipped into this
state from California" is the warning
that has been issued by the food and
drug control department of the state.
Several lots that have been heavily
sprayed with the PRISON have been
found by the department in Reno
stores, all of which has been confis-
Gated and destroyed. The use OF
poisonous sprays to destroy insect life
in vegetables and small fruits, by the
growers is common. according to S. c.
Dinsmore. head of the department. but
usually the solutions are so weak as
to rarely be harmful and as the prac-
tice OF all housewives and cooks is
to wash such foods thoroughly before
eating, 1t is extremely rare that
poisoning results.

COUNTY TO START
ROAD WORK NORTH

County Commissioner Peterson of
Golconda left yesterday to attend a
meeting of commissioners of the yari-
Gus counties of Nevada with the state
highway directors, to be held at Reno
Saturday. Before going Peterson
made an announcement of great in
terest to northern Humboldt county
residents.
Peterson said most of the county
road equipment is to be sent north
just as soon as the weather opens,
including the new gravel loader,
grader and tractor. A road camp Is
to be established and it is the COM
missioners' hope that fifteen or twenty
miles of the road between here and
the Oregon line may be gravelled and
placed in excellent condition before
next fall.
Trouble is being experienced in
completing the government trucks re-
Gently acquired. The trucks are here,
all right, but they have no bodies. One
truck body arrived, but part of the
loading mechanism is missing and 1t
cannot be used Efforts are being
made to get the bodies and If they do
arrive the trucks will make valuable
addition to the machinery to be sent
north.
Commissioner Petersons under
standing of his call to Reno is that the
highway directors want him to state
what is needed in this section along
the Overland Trail. At the same time
he will make effort to secure more
equipment for Humboldt county road
work
Asked If he thought the proposed
increased activity in road building on
the part of the county would make un-
necessary a talked-of bond issue for
"the road north" Peterson said he
did not think So He said that if there
is any chance to get bond issue
through for the northern road it
should be done.

TONOPAH WALKOUT SITUATION
CONTINUES UNCHANGED

No change in conditions has oc.
Cured in Tonopah since reports were
received yesterday stating that every
mine in the camp was closed and ths
miners leaving in large numbers fol
new fields.
II Is evident that a long season oi
idleness is in store for the camp be-
cause of the withdrawal of the bonu:
system by the mining companies
Though opportuned. the miners have
refused to strike in body; they have
simply quit and will seek other camps
where the pay is better. So far as
sympathy is concerned. it is with the
men.

tunity for service, and establishment

ASHDOWN MILL IS
PUT IN OPERATION
tspecia, Correspondence

tSptcld '-OTTeSpOnuenCeJ
ASHDOWN, Nevada, February o.
The sixty-ton milling plant of the
Ashdown mine was put in operation
January 29. The Ashdown property
was taken over on June 8, 1919, by
the Ashdown Gold Mines Company, a
close corporation consisting of Ney
Wolfskill, T. S. O'Brien and +. A.
Douthitt, all of San Francisco, with
T. S. O'Brien as manager. Work was
begun on July IL, 1919, all the mate
rial and equipment being hauled
in from Jungo, on the Western Pacific.
The new milling plant, which is the
first unit of 200-ton plant, consists
of Dodge rock crusher, Challenge
feeder, Hendy ball mill to which is
attached and revolves with it conf
cal screen for any mesh sizing de-
sired. The finished product from the
screen goes to jig amalgamator, into
which quicksilver is fed the same as
stamp mill mortar. The discharge
from the amalgamator goes to the
regulation copper amalgamating
plates The oversize from the conical
screen is returned to the ball mill for
further grinding with bucket ele-
vator. The whole plant is very COM
pact and once the feed and water is
adjusted requires very little attention.
Adjoining the mill is a three-room
building for the retort and bullion
melting furnace, assay office and
chemical laboratory, where tests will
be made to work out the most eco
nomical method of cyaniding the tall
ings after they leave the amalgamat-
ing plates.
The present camp and miners quar-
ters is above the mill, but as soon as
the road and weather condition will
permit work on the new concrete
hotel and miners bunk and club house
will be resumed and several cottages
for families will be erected, and the
camp in general made good place to
live in.
The Ashdown mine was opened by
James Ashdown and for a number of
years prior to 1906 was operated by
him, during which time several tun-
nels with connecting raises were run
in. all about 5000 feet. from which he
milled about 10000 tons of ore, from
which was recovered by amalgamation
about 100000. About $4,000 tons of
failing impounded from his operations
show SO per ton, which can be profit
ably treated by cyanide.
The new management has started a
large crosscut tunnel to intersect the
old workings, and the mine will be
opened up and equipped with heavy
track, tramming to mill to be accom-
plished with underground locomotives.
in order that large tonnage can be
handled with a minimum cost per ton.
All machinery is operated by dis
tillate engines, and water for the mill
is pumped from a well on the edge of
Continental lake, one and one-half
miles distant, and $40 feet lower than
the mill tank.
