I. MILL HAS BEENMPLETED Operations Start During the Present Week at Silver City Plant MEANS MUCH TO CAMP Success Means That Several Additional Units Will Be Added Soon. I If the plans of the Knight Interests hair fruit as anticipated, the custom nllllng "plant at Silver City will bet sot intu motion on "Wednesday next. This gratifying information was released on Monday by Metallurgist Chrlstenaen, the im en Lor of tho process installed, who was i.i the city. Mr. Chrlstcnsen stated that tl a plant was completed as originally designed, de-signed, and that practically everything was keyed up lo the point where tho initial in-itial tryout could bo given the mill on Wednesday, as stated. Many believe that this mill will mark a new epoch for tho Tlntic district, for it is designed lo handle the low-grade ores of the camp Jn a manner never before attempted. There is no one with an intimate in-timate knowledge of the Tlntic district but appreciates the opportunities that. hae been awaiting just such an innovation innova-tion as this plant, and there arc almost countless tons of material which will afford af-ford ideal food for the mill, ores whose conei vatlve values have prohibited their shipment to the smelters. Tin- plant which will bo set into motion mo-tion this week Is Intended as more of all experimental plant than otherwise, i for the Knight interests intend to add to it and to thereby Increase Its dally captivity ca-ptivity several fold should tho process Prove to be as satisfactory as the Knights and Mr. Christensen believe. The Colorado, Iron Blossom and Black Jack will bo among the Knight -properties which will contribute their tonnages to this plant, while with the enlarged mill there will bo a market open for any property in the district. Should the plant prove up to. expectations expecta-tions it Is slated that other plants involving in-volving the same process will be installed in-stalled in the district by other companies, and that the production from the camp in time will be Increased many times by virtue of this process. Tlntic needs such a plant, and credit is du" Jesse Knight, who has financed this enterprise entirely out of his own pocket. The plant has attracted wide attention, and its operation will be watched closely In mining and metallurgical metallur-gical circles generally.
