NEW MILL FOR HAMILTON
TO MAKE CAMP PROSPER

L. +. Peer returned Friday night
from Hamilton, where he went TO ar
range camp for the development OF
the promising lead-silyer-copper min
ing ground he purchased about two
months ago and which adjoins tho
Jennie A. group, the property OF the
Cutting estate and from which much
valuable ore has been shipped. Mr..
Peer will remain in Ely until after
election in order that he may not
only exercise his right of franchise
but likewise know the results OF the
different contests for state and county
offices before he returns to the miLe.
In speaking to a representative of
tho News Mr.. Peer was optimistic
over the future of the Hamilton dis
trict and expressed the belief that
the coming spring will bring consid-
cradle activity to the camp, which
years ago before the decentralization
of silver was one of the most import
ant mining centers in the country.
Mr.. Peer like other mining men,
accepts the smelter at Eureka as An
assured fact, and he said further that
a 100-ton cyanide mill will doubt
less be erected at the mouth of the
Eberhardt tunnel without further de-
lay. This project has been under
consideration for some time and
John S. Bragg has been at Hamilton
looking after the property which
soem time ago passed to the control
of New York and San Francisco cap
italists. The property comprises a
large acreage on Treasure hill and
before leaving Hamilton Mr.. Peer
was shown a telegram from the finan-
cial interests in San Francisco where
by their representative at Hamilton
was advised that the necessary money
was now available and to proceed
with the construction of the mill at
once.
All indications are that Hamilton is
coming into its own again and the
large bodies of ore known to exist
in properties which have been idle
for years are to be opened to the
markets of the world

Fourth Anniversary
of Arnlistice Day

Governor Emmett ID. Boyle has is
sued a proclamation designating next
Saturday. November IL, a legal hol-
iday in the state of Nevada, Arnis-
tice day falling on this date. In the
governors proclamation he says that
THE facts regarding the participa-
tion of the United States in the great
war are too fresh in the minds of the
people TO call for more than the legal
designation of the holiday, and. with
no urging ON my part. it may be con-
fidently expected that every man,
woman and child in Nevada will
pause for a day to celebrate with the
ex service organizations the ami
versary Of glorious accomplishment
in the war and to refresh memories
of noble deeds and sacrifices which
eternally inspire pride and love of
country In times of peace"
