TABLES of the MAYFLOWER MILL are shown in this photograph.
On these tables are intercepted and "concentrated" all the min
ute particles of gold which, thluough being coated with sand, e
crdc the attraction of the quicksilver on the copper plates. Any
"float gold" that gets by these tables is caught on the "canvas
plant" at the lower end of the mill, or in the settling tank, the
concentrates from which bring about $100 per ton. There is very little
Rold entering our mill that gets past us. To put it-in sugar phrase, we
have a hitrh extraction. And there's a reason. We have a, heavy stamp
mill, one of the best in our district, and what is more, one of the most
economical mills, because the entire outfit from the grindstone and bcl- '
lows in the blacksmith shop, to th: Hoist and Mill Stamps arc operat
ed by water power exclusively. There has been a lot of Bullion ground,
out by the "Mayflower" Mill, but there is far greater and faster work
immediately ahead of it. Acquire an ownership. Get an interest today.
