pany at Clifton is goin.3 ouasid- t
procure machinery for tho develop
ment' and working of hi - company'
Prop0")-.
The outlook a8 the work has pr.
grossed has been so favorable tb.
they are not going to lose any tinr
but will install a piant for the ex
traction of molybdenum at onioe.
They are convinced that ther° is a
body of ore which carries cnouj
of this costly mineral to warrant
the further expenditure.
The plan is to put in, an oil
flotation pPiit with th« usual,
crushing machinery that Is neccs
arj'.
A rolli:.g mill of 150 toil .
daily capacity and) a." compressor
which will furnish air for four or
five Burl' y drills wil be i
stalled.
Mr. D® Wolf oqo of the foremost
mining experts of Utah will be in
charge of t1 : work and ore bunk
ers, bunk house* and other necess
ary buildings will b,. erected this
fall.
In speaking of the mineral wl.ioh
his company is producing Mr. Bak' r
said that uolyDdenum Is taking the
plaec of tuii'j-Uon'uoiv in'many way8
and the Prit!° is 80 high that or.?
that carries 1 per cent i- of comm. r
eial value and hi- company during
the pa«t few weeks hav<> demount r ■
<-d that they KiV- almost un
limited quantities of or^ tha1 will
carry that much if not more.
It is the intention o' the com
pany to ultimately r'duta thc or
too the finished article surd 1
only that but they intend to use it
themselves In different ways \vhi<*
will nece*sit te tho erection ofiarSe
factories.
Work in the meantime tl,i»'faU
will oe solely aotig the ines of
making a la^o'T output next spring.
The intention is to run in a
tunnel undpr the railroad trc-ck
open up a series of faces at in
termittent distances of thirty feet
wide from which the oore will b
stoped and sent dowu to the bunk
ers for treatn ent.
Tli'- work outlined by Mr. Baiter
means much for tlii locality a"d
Mlq employment of a number of me a
will mean business for t-kagway.
Mr. Baker will b - a way for some
