ELDORADO RAND
MILL OPERATING

The new Eldorado Rand Mining
Company's mill started on its
trial run thirty days ago. NO de-
lays we're encountered nor were
there any changes necessary, the
extraction being beyond the ex-
pectation of the company.
The flow sheet is simple, yet
very good results are being OF
tanned. The ore is crushed in a
stamp mill where so per cent o.
tse assay value is extracted by
amalgamation. The product or
tails after leaving the plates are
separated in a hydraulic classl-
fier, and the sand is concentrated
on a Deister table. After concen-
tration they are leached in cy-
anide solution.
The slime is treated by agi-
tation, counter current decan-
tation. At the end it passes
through an Oliver filter which
leaves ayout Is per cent moisture
in the slime. The filter is USED
to guard against any Soluable
loss. also to recover all the water
possible, water being an impor-
tant factor in Eldorado Canyon.
The ore milled is drawn fro,n
the Quaker City mine, trammed
to the Rand shaft and hoisted
to the mill.
Development on the Quarker
City has been very encouraging
in the short time since the FL
dorado Rand Mining Co. has
taken it over. Only a small frac-
ton of the undisturbed apex has
been prospected. Considerable de-
velopment work is being outlined
for the Quaker City mine, alsC
for the east workings of the
Rand mine. The object is to in
crease the capacity of the presen
mill to 100 tons laily, also to de
velop more water for milling pur.
poses.
The Eldorado Canyon mining
district is being revived, not OF
paper, but in the mines with {
glorious past and apparently al
equally glorious future. In ths
revival is the Eldorado RanC
Mining Company's property. Tht
Wall Street mine, operated in tho
early days, is now in the hand
of mining men who are also sue
ceSSful business men. Where the5

Eldorado Canyon Mining Dis
trict, born many years ago with
a golden spoon in its mouth, has
been an unfortunate victim o.
circumstances.
These unfortunate conditions
in the opinion of the best in
formed mining men, have ended
The wild days of mining are nt
more, for the successful searcl
for ore is made not on paper
but in the mines, supervised by
men trained in the work. Othel
mines in the district of unqueS-
toned great palue are now to b,
gipn the chances they were de-
prived of in the more colorfu
but less real days of 1906-l907.
Mr.. P. A. Keegle, manager oi
the Eldorado Rand. says:
while on my recent visit to
New York and other cities in the
east, 1 met engineers and min>
operators on their vacations who
after first greetings, invariably
began questioning me about FL
dorado Canyon mining district.
They usually concluded by saying
I will see you in Eldorado Can
yon in the fall some naming al
earlier date. My mail contain,
requests for information from
brokers as we'll as mining men
It is a pleasure to note that they
ali speak well, and with COLI
fidence of the future of Eldoradc
Canyon, not from hearSay, be-
sause several had visited the dis
trict in the past.
There is plenty of money avail
able now for legitimate develop
ment and will be supplied by mer
who know their business. Pros
pectorS, miners and owners who
are prepared to submit PROPOSE
tions for the exploration and de-
velopment of their holdings along
legitimate lines can soon acquire
digging money
"The Eldorado Rand Mining
Company has shipped considerable
bullion. Very little has been pub
lished. Development work ha'
been done at top speed, milling
and mining operations brought
up to date, and from all indica'
tions and proven results, it vii
be one of the large producers o
Southern Nevada. The Rand mil
and mine are always open Il
visitors"
