In addition to the mills above named may be mentioned the Monte 

 Christo mill, 12 or 14 miles distant, containing five stamps; and the Newark 

 or Centenary mill, in the Newark district, 30 miles distant, containing 20 

 stamps. The last-named mill is also provided with roasting furnaces. Both 

 these mills worked on White Pine ore before others were built nearer to the 



mmes. 



Among the mills named in the foregoing table are several that were 

 brought from other parts of the State, where they had been already in use. 

 Others are quite new and combine, in their construction, many of the improve- 

 ments that are the results of long experience in milling. The California mill 

 is one of the best in the State, and is very well arranged for economy in labor. 

 The mill stands on sloping ground, and is so laid out that the ore, in passing 

 from one stage of the process to the next, has the advantage of gravity, and is 

 moved with the least possible outlay of power.
