In Wells last night a large crowd at the opera house cheered Republican nominees P. L. Flanigan and Judge Brown amid bonfires bands and booming anvils.

The final word on a fifty ton mill project for Rawhide came when B. B. Shanklin announced $37,500 in cash had been raised and the remaining $50,000 guaranteed. The cyanide mill will process fifty to seventy tons daily with sampling, crushing, grinding, amalgamation and cyanide sections. Tests by Lochiel M. King show high gold and silver recoveries at $4-$5 per ton, with near automatic operation to save labor and water. Ore contracts are already in place with major Rawhide mining firms, and other owners promise to drop contracts if the mill is not delayed.
Manhattan mills in the district cut drilling and processing charges. From an average charge of 94 per ton, rates drop to 6 per ton on 20 ore, with 40 cents more per ton for every 5 added to the valuation plus 2 per ton for cyanide treatment. The change aims to spur leasing as substantial ore bodies priced 15 to 20 per ton can now profit under the new schedule.

The piece predicts Gold Circle will become Nevada’s greatest mining district with a population rise to 5000 within a year.
