Doings at Tonopah mining camp shows growth
A Hawthorne Bulletin correspondent reports Tonopah improving daily with ore quality and quantity rising, more hoisting equipment in use, and ore dumps overflowing. Many idle men move in and out as development costs rise, grub shortages and harsh weather persist, while the Kinkead mill starts processing Conglomerate ore and a molybdenite discovery in Mono County is noted. Deputy Assessor Beard notes Washoe County mine bullion taxes rising with several mines paying this quarter. Governor Sadler and Fred Plageman visit Ely and Muncy Creek to inspect patented claims likely to yield a major ore body and possible railroad, with development plans pending.
