The Nevada Mining Press OF Dc
ccmber 25th publishes picture OF the
Thompson smelter and the sollowinS
bit of history concerning it.
Herewith is presented picture ol
the smelter OF the Mason Valley
Mines Company at Thompson, one
mile from Wabuska, Lyon County,
which may be reconstructed and re-
verberatory furnaces installed as the
result OF lower freight rates to be es-
tablished ON ore and concentrates
from Plumas County, California
mines. If the plans of the company
are carried through the smelter will
be operated as custom plant and
will treat all classes of ore.
The smelter consists of two bias,
furnaces with a combined capacity
of 1000 tons per day. 1t commenced
operations in January, 1912, running
principally on copper ore from the
mines in Mason Valley. The plan
was idle from October, 1914, unit
February 1917, when operations wer,
resumed and continued until February
1919. 1t is connected with Wabusk;

road. Sine operations started the
smcltcr has handled l,Sl5,000 tons of
ore and has produced 71,W0oo0
pounds OF copper and large quantities
of gold and silver
The installation OF reverberatory
furnaces and operation OF the smelter
as a custom plant would be of great
benefit to the mining industry oil
western Nevada and eastern Califor-
MIA. The present rate on concen-
trates from eastern California mines
is $3.50 to Utah smelters. The new
rate will effect saving of $3.25 per
ton. A greater saving will be made
by the Mason Valley mines. Until the
construction of the Bluestone fiota-
ton mill these mines shipped their
crude ore to the Wabuska smelter
When the workings passed into the
sulphide zone concentration of the
ores was found advisable The rever
beratory furnaces are designed for The
economical treatment of concentrates

Lyon County i'll addition to its
thriving agricultural and mining in
dustres may soon become an import
ant manufacturing and milling center
This prediction is based on the sue
cess already attained by the Farmers
Mill & Feed Company in the opera
ton of their new mill here. but the
prosperity of this and other industries
will be determined by the support and
encouragement given by the home peo-
pie to their home enterprises. The
Yerington mill provides ready and
easily accessible market for all of the
grain produced in the county, and this
alone entities it to the favorable at
tention OF the business interets. as
their prosperity is predicated upon the
success of the growers.
The American Midget Marvel Mill
is indeed a marvel of simplicity and
efficiency. There is no duplication of
effort here. Each step in the transi-
ton OF the grain to flour has been
carefully and scientifically premedi-
tated, and the mill is one smoothly
working machine wherein the wheat
can be easily seen in all OF its stages
OF transformation into the whtest of
flour. Cleanliness is primary requis
lite, and the genial miller, Mr.. c. II.
Nielsen, apologies for bit of dust on
his floor, as would the most careful
house wife.
The flour mill has capacity OF 50
barrels OF flour per day, and is equip
ped with barley rolling machinery. IN

GOSSIP
FROM GOLDEN STATE

The San Francisco Bulletin, undei
recent date claims to have heard
gossip to the effect that Senator
Charles b. Henderson, on Elko, is
being groomed by the Democrats as
their candidate for governor at ths
election two years hence. The Bull
letin claims that the present governor
Emmett d. Boyle, does not desire to
make the race again and that because
of his attitude Senator Henderson is
being urged to make the race. .Anent
the political situation i'll this state the
Bulletin goes on to say
1t is said Governor Emmett ID.
BOYLE does not wish to run again.
1t is on that account Henderson is
being pushed to the front.
Boyle and Henderson are great
friends. l.. S. Superintendent on the
Mint Ray Baker, and u. S. Senator
Key Pittman ARC also pronounced
chums, and if Pittman does not wish
to enter the race for senator two years
hence, Baker is to make contest for
the toga. Bakers wealthy vile is
represented as being very anxious for
her husband to go to the senate.
L. S. Senator-elect Taskcr l.. Cd
die, now 4 Palace hotel guest, is
swamped with appeals from Sagcbrush
republicans for federal plums. Here
are some OF his political embar-
assments
To succeed u. S. Attorney William
Woodburn of Reno, arc the following :;
Former Chief Justice OF the State
Supreme Court +. H. Norcross. Dis
trict Attorney Lester Summersield.
District Court Judge F. F. Lunsford.
Attorney B. +. Henley, Lawyer George
Springmeyer, and Justice of the Peace
Sidney Foster.
Captain L. Donnelly of the Nevada
state police wants to succeed U. S.
Marshall Thos. Pickett.
Colonel H. B. Maxon seeks the
Job OF U. S. Surveyor General J. b.
O'Sullivan.
1t is gently hinted that Nevada
Republicans want to get the sue
cessor to Superintendent of the Mint
Ray Baker, and Senator-Elect Cd
dis plans at the proper time to
spring candidate who will have the
support OF strong men in the senate
like Senator Reed, Smoot of Utah.
and Senator Cummins on Iowa.
The rumor that Senator Hender-
son may be candidate for COVER
norcannot be confirmed i'll any way
from sources close to him in Elko.
It is not believed that the senator
has given any Foundation whatever
for the report, nor is it believed that
he will be a candidate for the state 5
executive office two years hence.
Senator Henderson has made abso-
lutelv no announcement of his plans
and il is not known whether he in
tends to again enter the political
lists or not
