New Smelter for Bullion Aims to Boost Local Ore
San Francisco investor Mr. T M Moe stays at the Mayer Hotel and backs Dome Mining & Reduction Co with the Key lease on Nevada Bunker Hill property. He plans a fifty ton smelter at Bullion within 90 days to treat low grade ore now unshippable, potentially running for four to five years. Sixty workers on six veins may feed the plant as most ore cannot be shipped profitably, and a local smelter would revive Bullion's mining activity.
