Surface ImprovementII', At the Pleasant Valley group almost every convenience exist3 for successful and economical operation and the comfort of the management and employees. A large boarding and lodging house has be€n con­ structed near the mouth of the upper tun­ nel, in addition to which there are several cozy dwellings, blacksmith shop, electric power plant, and laboratory and assa.y of· fice, The power station is equipped with a 6·horsepower FairbankS-Morse gasoline engine which is belt·connected to a 120 volt W'estinghouse dynamo, which furnishes light for the mine ,workings, the mIlling plant, boarding house and dwellings, and for general purposes. At the pump station on Price river, 4.500 feet from the mill, a 12­ horsepower gasoline engine, 'sold by the F, C. Richmond Machinery com')lany, is in­ stalled. This is belt-connected to a Dem­ ing 3,000·gallon per hour pump, which raises the water to a height of 450 feet, sup­ plying the mill and camp with its main sup­ ply of water. As an auxilliary a Fairtlanks­ Morse windmill and pump have been in­ ,stalled at the mine, which utilizes the water coming into the sump from the lower tunnel level. A local telephone system connects all the mine workings, mill, assay office, electric plant and pumping plant with the manager's office, while a long distance line connects this property with Salt Lake and all of the leading cities of the we.t. The Milling Plant. The milling plant of the American Ozo­ kerite company is a mojlel of convenience and efficiency. and is totally unlikl- Jtny other reduction plant in the United States, and contains featUres that are not dupli­ cated, even in Europe. The mill equipment consists of one Gardner rock crusher of a capacity of twen­ ty-five tons per hour, Three conveyor tanks. Two agitation tanks. Two settling tanks, of special design. One 5·ton steel-jacketed refining tank. One Callow settling .tank. Two skimming tanks. One 50·horsepower boiler. One 35·horsepower 'boiler. One 40­ horsepower cross·compound engine. Belt conveyor for delivery of tailings to dump. Mill practice and Flow Sheet. The ore to be treated is delivered di­ rect from the lower tunnel of the mine, by mine car, Into a 300-ton capacity bin at the top of the milL It is then fed to the Gardner crusher over 'grizzlies of one-inCh aperture to automatic feeders, which deliver to the two agitating tanks which contain boiling water. After thorough agitation the content.. of these tanks is fed into a double pair of conveyor tanks, equip!ped with Cald­ well conveyors,' While the ore is passing through these tanks the boiling proce.\lS sep­ aratcs the wax from its matrix; the wax, be­ in'g of lower specific gravity than the wa­ ter, rises to the surface, from which it is skimmed, automatically, by three 4·foot skimming wheels, specially deSigned, Which

feed Into steam-jacketed troughs which de­ liver to settling tanks of original design. After the wax is boiled in these tanks for ,sixty minutes the fine silt and other debris contained in the wax settles to the bottom, leaving the wax perfectly clean, and pure, with the exception of the ;!mall amount of moisture it contains, which is eliminated in a 5-ton refining tank in the basement of the milL The wax is drawn from this tank and cast into 10-pound cakes, and is then ready for the market. Quality of the Product. At the reduction plant of the American Ozokerite company the product is divided into four different grades, as follows First, High Prime; second, High Prime Special; third, Hard Green, and fourth, Soft Wax. The Hard Prime, in small lots, brings 28 cents a pound. High Prime 'SpeCial, in carload 10t1l, 17% cents f. o. b. New York; Hard Green, 17 cents f. o. ,b. New York, and Soft Wax, 10 to 15 cents, according to grade. At the present time 95 per cent of the output of the plant is High Prime, or High Prime Special. The production, with the mill running at full capacity, is three tona of wax daily. At the 'prC13ent time the daily output ranges from one to one and a half tons. This output will be maintained all winter. ,Early during the coming year the com­ pany will ins~all a plant, at the mine, for the manufacture of ceresine and the com· pounding of insulating products and tub­ ber good,s from the different grades of wax or ozokerite. Ozokerite, without a question of doubt, is a residue formed by the receding of oil from the fissures, leaving a certain amount of paraffine in the cracks and creyice.\l, in the fOllmation, in a solidHied state_ In this state the ozokerite is really a hlghgrade paraffine having a melting point of 154 to 190 degrees; while the manufactured paraf­ fine, of the highs.t grades, has a melting .polnt-not to exceed 130 degrees. At the Colton ozokerite field everything indicates that petroleum. or a highgrade paraffine oil, will eventually be developed ",1th depth, and this belief is su'bstantlated illy the fact that crude oil has been found, in small quantities, in alI of the workings ot the company where any depth has been at­ tained. To- fully demonstrate the exist­ ence of oil, in paying quantity, the' com­ ,pany will install a drilling rig within the next sixty days, as outlned above, while a ("lTe drill will also be utilized in testing and proving the value of its large domain, The Making of a Great Industry'. The discovery of these ozokerite deposits and the mining and milling of this commo­ dity marks the beginning of a great Indus· try for the United States, and especially so for Utah, a state in which nearly every known mineral exists in paying quantities.

At the pre3ent time the industry is 'prac­ ticallY' in its infancy, 'but, rapid stridC13 are being n;tade in placing it upon a basis which will not only make it highly profitable, but also in direct compeUtion with that of Europe. And not only will this add greatly to the commercial strength of this coun­ try, but it will result in the establishment of . a large anij fiouri1lhing producing center.f where emplOYment will 'be given to thous­ ands of working men, while a city will ,spring up at or nearCol:on that will pre. sent all of the activities characteristic of Bingham, Park City and Eureka. The American Ozokerite company is capitalized at $1,000,000, and is a close cor­ poration, and a strong one. James Lynch. of 'Ithaca, New York, is president of the company, and L. V. Shearer, of Colton, Utah, is vice4 presldent and general manager. Mr. Shearer has devoted several years In the exploitation ()f the Colton ozokerite field, and in acquiring the ,splendid prop­ erties now owned by his company. He has unlimited faith and confidence in the fu­ ture success of this magnificent enter­ prise, and expects to see the ozokerite ~ industry take rank, at an early day, with mining for the precious and base metals, and with our great coal industry. ----(0)----­

MACHINERY EXHIBIT AT THE FAIR.

The machinery exhibit at the Utah State' Fair, last week, was an excellent one, and espeCially so when it came to machinery used In min.ing atrairs. The leading bitor'3 were the Mine & smelter Supply companY, Fairbanks,Morse & Company, and the Silver Bros. Iron Works company. The Mine & Smelter Supply company, twas awarded gold and silver medals for the best machinery exhibit, and a special d'iploma for its pumping equipment, con­ sisting of a Krogh centrifugal pump and W!a.gner motor. Fairbanks, Morse & Company had a large and complete exhibit of its mining as well as agricultural equipment, a lead­ ing feature being gasoline engine;! anet hOists, which were well dis,played. Silver Bros, Irbn Works company ex­ hibited a fine line of castings and forgings, including steel gear, Norway iron forgings, roll shells and castings, and ore can;. ' The mineral exhibit was really :. fine one, but presented scarcely anything new over the exhibits annuaHy made for th~ past ten years. In fact, the d\;splay did not equal that of the year hefore, in attractiv~ ness, and, at times, it was di!ficult to diS: cover who was in charge. The fruit and live stock display was siIll!' ply superb. ---0--­

BEN HARRISON CONCENTRATING PLANT By L. O. HOWARD, M. E.

The ore of the Ben Harrison 'mine makes a peculiar milling propo;;;ltion. The main mineral is stibnite, the sulphide of anti· mony, one of the most friable of minerals, willl which the gold and silver are intimately mixed, making it necessary to concentrate the sUbni:e to I-ecover the values. To avoid excessive sliming is the problem. The mine has been developed during the last two and a haH or th!e(J years ~nd a large tonnage of milling ore is now blocked

ordinarily used only to make a separation between heads and tails. The middlings from all four roughing tables go to one Over:strom table, which makes a finished concentrate. The taIlings

Allis-Chalmers tube mill. Thus all tailings are reground after the separation of all min­ Hal freed by the initial crushing. It Is in· tended to regrind to eighty mesh. The reground tailings will be elevated

OU~.

The ore contaiIt3 about one-hall' ounce Of gold and seventy to eighty ounces or sil· ver p(lr ton, and is highly silicious. The mine is twenty·one miles from a railroad, in the Sumpter district, near Granite, Ore­ gon, and this long haul, in (;OnnectIOi. with the nature of the ore, makes it desIrable to concentrate on the ·gr<Jund. .Because of the friable nature of the mineral, it is nece;~­ sary to take out a concentrate as Boon as possible, and avoid unnecessary grinding of sulphides. The sUbnUe does not free it­ self, however, at a coarse enough sIze to make jigging desirable, SO the first concen­ trate is removed on a roughing table. Treatment of the Ore. The -general method of treatment wiII consist of medium coarse crushing in stamps, treating the pulp on roughing tables for the removal of a finished concentrate and a middling, which is cleaned on a fin­ ishing table. The tailings, after classifica­ tion, are reground and treated on sand and slime vanners for the recovery of the fine 'sizes. 'rhe ore is to be trammed from the shaft and dumped on a 4-foot by 5-foot grlzzley, from which the coarse is discharged to a No. 4 style K, Gates crusher, set over a slope­ bottom battery bin, in which the undersize joins it. This bin is thirty by fourteen by fifteen feet and wiU hold about 200 tons. Prom the bins the ore will be automatically fed to twenty 1,050-pound ·stamps, crush­ ing through about twenty mesh. The stamps are arranged in two batteries of ten each, and the pulp will gO to two distribu· tors, each feeding two roughin'g tables. The roughing tabl!'s are of Allis-Chalmers make, the frame and head motion being that of the Overstrom table, on which a rectangular deck has been placed, having riffles extending the full len.-gth of the table This deck differs Jlttle from others of the late models, being characterized by the deep riffie3, to handle coarse stuff, and con­ centrate discharge the whole length of the concentrate edge, thus making for capacity: Besides finished concentrates, the roughing tables will make a middling, an· unusual practice with roughing tables, which are

Cla,ssifiers and Vanners. The Richards-Janney classifier and the 13bell vanner are regarded as the latest developments in classifiers and slime con­ centrators Both have been widely installed, the largest equipment being at the Garfield mills of the Utah Copper company. The classifier consists of five rectangu· lar compar~ents. increasing in size and depth from the feed end. The lower part of each compartment forms the frustrum of an inverted cone, shown as 1 in Figure 1, and constitutes the settling chamber. Below this is a cylindrical sorting chamber 2, with a constricted cross-lSection at the lower end. BelOW this is the hydraulic chamber 3. At the bottom of this chamber is a valve, which regulates the flow into the retarding Chamber 4. While the di,;;charge into the latter is Intermittent, thus Insuring good sorting above, it will give a constant feed to. the tables. The driving mechanism rests

sorting column constant, avoiding eddies and counter-currents, Through the spindle extends the valve rod 6, opera:'"ed. by a cam. In operation the feed descends into the

sorting medium. At intervals, which can be definitely regulated, the material discharges into the retarding chamber, this arrange. ment insuring more perfect classification, and eonserving hydraulic water. Figure 2 shaWl! the main features at the Isbell vanner, the principal ones ibeing the simplicity of support and ea.3e at ad­ justment. General Arrangement. The mill will be erected in three main terraces. On the first rest the stamps and .tables, the crl13her and battery bins being at a slightly hi'gher elevation. The stamp and crusher fioor is twenty-eight by ,sixty feet, the table floor twenty ,by sixty feet. where are located the hydraulic classifiers and the finishing table. At a slightly lower elevation is a row of eight 'Callow cones, which are placed In the vanner room. The latter is forty-eight by one hundred feet. The vanners are arranged In two rows of six each, and extend longitudinally with the milL At one end of the vanner floor are the Dorr classifier and tube mill. The mill is gravity type throughout, with the exception of the elevation of ,slimes from classifier and tube mill. The are has a fall of seventy,two feet in a length of 119 feet.

Word has been receiyed that the Yering­ ton :\[a]achile Cop])er company of the Ma· son Valley, 't\evada, district, has penetra"ed the sulphide ore zone, and is obtaining good coppel' returns. This is of interest, due to the grpat amount of ore obtained from the same zone in the adjoining Mason valley mine, 'Work has been carried on through the lower level of the latter mine, by drift­ ing into the xlalachite ground and erosscnt­ ting to get the extension of the Mason val­ ley ore body, The ore can be handled at the Mason vaHey smeltery at Thompson,

MET A.LLURGY OF LEAD By H, B. PULSIFER (Operating Blast Furnaces, Continued.) Aside from the intervals of rapid run· ning, or accidents to the equipment, the most interesting times on the feed floor come at the blowing in and blowing out of furnaces. and when blowholes must be treated or the shaft of a furnace barred down. The usual method of blowing in by first filling the crucible with melted lead, then placing kindling. small wood, cord wood, coke, coke and slag and then an ore charge before lighting, is apparently faultless, If the furnace is started arid brought to full

The foreman will likely stay at the mouth 'of the furnace with the hose, cooling the plates and steel with water. Billowy clouds of smoke and white lead·fume issue through every crack of the f1ame·filled shaft; at intervals the blast 13 ordered cut down. until finally the last slag is drained out down below, and the blast shut off en­ tirely. Hangs and blowholes are of particular interest to those on the feed fioor. Coke hangs are soft, and caused by heat creep.. ing up through the charge and fusing It just sufficiently for it to -stick and hold

capacity slowly and gradually enough. This 13 a matter requiring days or even weeks. The furnace men below are anxious to tap the lead excessively, and on the feed floor it is difficult to keep from filling the fur· nace too full. There are many details in connection with placing the kindling. fuel and bullion 'with each of the first few charges. getting the hangers and spreader placed and gradually raising the charge column. each· of which requires care and prompt execution at the right moment. At the blowing out of furnaces the heat and smoke is terrific. As the charge column sinks and the heat begins to break through to the toP. charges of limestone may be added. alleviating the intensity somewhat..

against the end or side of the shaft. They are not difficult to prevent and are prob­ ably caused by excess of coke and .heap.. ing the column locally; the charge should be more carefully spread in the cars, and, by running down the furnace, the hang' can be loosened with bars. Feeding the fur­ nace a few double or triple charges, after it is settled enough, will also' keep down a troublesome fire. The hangs which accumulate slowly, and COnsist largely of sublimed galena, have no specific remedy. Arter they have become sufficiently large the furnace may be run down, the ·blast shut of!' and barring from above attempted. Barring from above is an inheritance

from the time when furnaces wer.e hand fed. Oldhan~s will tell of the days when this was frequently and successfully done to the furnaces; but now the furnaces are larger and a ·big space intervenes between the top of the hang and the feed floor. The foreman, after running down his fur­ nace, now sees the hang thorough smoke. and steam some ten feet below. An in­ candescent light bulbi dangled about the ledge soon gets hot enough to fall apart; the huge eteel bars, ten to eighteen feet long, are unwleldly and difficult .to pry with, through the narrow opening of the mouth of the furnace. A comparatively small amount of talent, properly appreCiated, would surely not re­ quire long to arrange a light that would il· lumlnate the gloom, as well as perfect the details of dislodging the crust quickly with explosives, and without damage to the walls of the shaft. It may be remarked that the presence of a hang In a furnace may have no 111 ef­ feet, either on capacity or reduction. As long as the shaft passe3 the charge smooth· I,. and quietly, l'eSuUS may not be im· paired; when deep channels and blowholes let free blast through, reduction suffers at once. When a furnace is blown out to allow the shaft to ·be fully cleaned out. there ill plenty of chance ,to get at the .hang with short bars and a swinging ram. Thill does th&business ell'ectually. provided the fore­ man stays with the job to direct and lead In the work. The walls will likely be too hot to touch, steam will come up from the pile below, clouds of dust and grit wlll .hover in the strong draft through the shaft, and the gangs of Greeks may relieve each other every tlilrty minutes. while the foreman Is merely thankful that furnaces are blown out seldom. Blowholes are plugged by running down the furnace until the blast comes freely through the hole straight from the tuyeres; the ·blast Is then shut off entire1y, the spreader lifted out, and silicious mud run in through a spout. It Is all the work of a few minutes. As SOon as the hole Is full, the spreader is replaced, the blast turned on. a charge dumped, in, and the furnace is again running normally. Seldom more than twenty or thirty minutes interruption is required. A curve in the spout will enable one, to reach' the hole. even if it is hl~den beneath the hang, and of course it makes no dill'erence' how low down, how big. or how irregular the hole is. Often the feed fioor of a smeltery wi11 be as fair and pleasant as out In the sun· shine in green fields; it Is often otherwise. DUring the blowing in and ,blowing out, when furnaces have bad hangs that are channeled and cannot be doetored; or dUr~ ing tM nmnlng down of the

20

house dust; on any of these occasion3 the fioor is a mighty unhealthy location.. As a matter of fact, some smelteries are known among the workmen as having chronically bad feed fioors, and at the best plants im­ provement is always possible. This floor is one of the most dangerous places for lead poisoning about the whole plant, and an 'unwise location for permanent employment. The foremen who have charge of the tappng fioor, or the blast foremen, or tbe front., all three of which designations are . used, have the most iuteresting amI re­ sponsible position about the fUrnacel!.. ' As compensation fur their years ul eXl'c'I'it'IH:e, the dangerous occupation and heavy res)}un­ sibility, their wages will probably be a good deal less than the wages of the most tran­ sient bricklayer who muds up their set· tlers. The mf'n in front have personal charge of the blast, they have to watch the char­ acter of the slag, they have to oversee the tapping of the lead, malle and slag and \\\e proper disposal of each. \Vhen condi· tions are perfectly normal, their job IS no more exacting than th€ easy times the other foremen have when all is welL Times of discretion come at the blowing in and blow· ing out of the furnaces, and when there is trouble in getting the product.s away a,nd providing pots and rians; times of activ­ ity com€ when there is a burn--out about the furnace jackets, when a settler breaks through and floods the track with a lake of molten matte, or when a slag pot or locomotive gets off the track. No foreman wants to cut his blast for any such incident, and he is apt to bestir himself pretty lively to get in shape before that may be nees­ gary. The matte handling as at present prac· tlced, is clearly antiquated and inefficient. Mattc is disagreeabl€ to tap; the cast iron pans, into which it is run to SOlidify, corrode badly, soon crack and allow the math, to run through. They can be re­ paired and used again, but the whole item of cost is larg€r than is desirable. When the cakes of matte are cold, they are lifted from the pan and broken down to crusher size by laborers with sledges. This is an· other weak point, upon which all m ..nner of devices hav€ been laviShed to obviate it. An ingenious device, called a matte dividing lozenge, was constructed and ar­ ranged to lower down into the pan or still liquid matte, separating it into several radial slices, which, when cold, would fall apart at a tap and not require further breaking before going to the crusher. Aft&r some trying out, the heavy star was abandoned and left a piece of rusting iron behind the boiler house, long before the pa.tent notI­ fication and press accounts came (;ut. . Blast furnaces may have their :rcducing effect altered in a variety of ways.!lfedium reduction, represented by slags going two or three per cent lead does not so foul the lead,

but· that the well causes little trOuble from ~ncrustat!ons about the aides. The crUCible !llso keeps. fairly clean and the furnace 'works easily. The stronger the reduction, the more the dross clings to all the sur­ faces and ·bullds up crusts. The metal con­ tent .of the slag will be far lower, possibly­ down to 0.5 per cent lead, but the furnace needs con3tant attention and the expendi­ tUre of much hard labor to keep the well and breast open. As it costs no more to the company to have the men working in­ stead of standing about, this is apparently the more efficient way. This, then, is one of the blast foreman's heavy duties when reduction is strong. Both he and the men find it arduous enough t{) keep the well clear, and occa3ionally cut a channel from the front down, to connect with the welL The blast must be shut off, the tap jacket taken out, and bars driven in to force an opening down through the metal-like mass beneath the lead. This work fairly forces Itself on the men, for, when the lead runs out with the slag and matte, it not only goes in the wrong place and needs €xtra handling, but, with lead up to the tap, is hard to shut ofr, and worms its way through the clay, and in a few minute. the tapper finds the hole open and the furnace blowing. For any of these short jobs on a fur­ nace, it is customary to shut of!' the blast entirely, preferably with the charge a little lower than usuaL No ill effect is noticeable on cutting in the blast after even three or four hours. It is also possible to bank a furnace for a longer period; then, on start­ ing up, if the front tuyeres are dug out and a fire started, the whole furnace will soon he r€gained. The reduction of a furnace is indicated by the changing appearance of the matte, particularly as to the little ejections and the presence of "muster," a coating of zinc oxide, which is y'ellow when hot and white wh€n cold. To follow the composition of the slag closely by Inspection, one can observe the flash and flame at the tap hole_ Lime and zinc betray themselves here. The color of the slag in the spout and the cold "lag, either top crust or the bottom left In the pon, indicate changing amounts of lime and iron, The way a slag runs in the spout and the dribble over the spout both gtve strong evidence. Extremely s!licioufl, slags are given to stringiness, while high iron ·slags are curdy just before solidifica­ tion. The way the crust on the hot slag in the pot breaks beneath a bar, and the coating left on a hot bar plunged in the pot change with changing composition. Ex­ tremely silicious slags shell most eaBI~y. Both the· thin shells from high iron and tbe _tMck&hells from high lime may stick badly. On the 19th of May, 1910, number ftve furnace at the Murray plant completed a

campaign of four years duration. This Is supposedly the American recor,d. The fur­ nace had experienced trifling mterruptlons at various times for plugging holes, bar­ rings down, changing jackets, cutting to the­ well, banking during strikes, etc_, but for all this time the fire had never been en. tlrely out nor the crucible cleaned. Abont 6 o'clock on the 9th of May, of the year just mentioned, a bUrn-out occurred at one corner of the shaft just over the jackets; the Nast wa~ shut off and re­ m'llined of!' for some time. During this in­ terval, water entered the furnace trom leaky jackets, of whiCh at least four were known to be on the furnace. ""hen the blast was put on again one side of the furnace was dead, and with th€ active tuy­ eres on the other side, the furnac€ began limping along, smelting at less than one­ third its normal capacity. For three days men drilled and worked at the tuyeres to get them open again. W!hen this was accomplished, the furnace blowed so badly through channels in the hang, that the end tuyeres had to be plug. ged. As it was dangerous to shut ofr the blast for even five minut€s the furnace was allowed to run along, frequently spouting smoke and cinders like a 'small volcano, through the 19th of the month. Afte;r blowing out the furnace, the In­ terior of the shaft was found to be only some 7 foot long in the clear, deep chan­ nels having been cut down to the tuyeres on each side of a' solid rib in the back. A new crucible at this plant holds about 700 :bars of lead; 284 bars were dipped out of this crucible after the long campaign. It is only fair to state that the American company Is fortunate in having the serv­ Ices of W. W. Norton and A. H, Richards, Who have both been at Murray plant for several years and attained remarkable suc­ c€&s. H_ B. PULSIFER, Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Illinois.

John M. Dick, president, and A.. D. Mof­ fatt, general manager of the Majestic Min­ ing company, operating In Beaver county, Utah, report that since July the mine has boon operated at a ·proflt. The pumping expense has been eliminated by develop­ ments of the past few months. The ore from the Harrington-Hickory estate has paid operating expenses. Two and a half to three and a half per cent copper ore Is. being shipped regularly In large amounts. This ore Is also high Iron. The ore Is ex­ tracted by glory-hole mlnln-g. This cheap mining, with the desirable nature of the eire' as a flux, mak~3 it possible to market this low-grade ore On a small scale and still come out with a profit.

The report of the Swansea Consolidated Mining company, of Provo, Utah, with mines at Silver City, in the Tintic district, Is .glven out in great detail, and is an excellent example of what a mine report should be. Most of the ore for the year came from a stope on the 800, 850 and 940·foot levels, where a shoot 145 feet long on the vein and four feet thick was worked. New develop­ ments are reported to be encouraging. The ore is lead·silver. DetaHs follows: FOOTAGE.

OZOKERITE, OR MINERAL WAX.

In this i,~sue of The 'Mining ·Review our readers will find an article descriptive of the ozokerite, or mineral wax, industry, now being so successfully carried on in the near vicinity of Colton. Utah. There are many, undoubtedly, who will be surprised to learn of the existence of ozokerite deposits in the United States. and also that Utah is the only region, in this country. where this com­ modity exists in commercial quantitiee. The importance of the industry, about which so litlle is generally known. will be a surprise to even those who imagine that they keep in touch with the leading industries of the world. The mere fact that such an industry. even though In its infan-cy. has been estab· lished in Utah, must ,be pleasing to thos6 who are interested in the welfare of the

PROGRESS IN NEVADA.

A comprehens:ve review of the news from Nevada shows a condition of affairs in reo gard to mining that is gratifying to citizens of that state, and to others. who are inter­ e3ted in the welfare of the mining industry. In the days of the original Tonopah, Gold­ field. Rawhide, Bullfrog and Manhattan booms there was an appearance of great prosperity, which, however. did not rest on a firm basis. bu: was built up by flamboyant, statements. rash promises and downright swindles of the Rice and Goodwin type. The boom now on is, to a large extent, free from exaggeration. and reprS3ents the sure, steady growth of legitimate enterprise. From Tonopah, we learn of an increasing number of discoveries from properties which, a~ one time, feared exhaustion of their ore reserves with depth. but are now elated to find other bodies as work deepens. Again, old prospects are becoming mines; old boo nanzas of short, br!l1iant life, are building substantial mills. typical of the latest prac­ tice.

C. C. Inman, president and manager of the Gold Separator & Placer Mines com­ pany, Is in Salt Lake from h:s camp at the Lucky Swede bar on Green river, eighteen miles east of Vernal, Utah. Mr. Inman has been sucecsaful in install­ ing the Inman process for the recovery of the fine gold in the sands and gravel con­ tained in the Lucky Swede bar, and is en­ thusiastic over results. The equipment em­ ployed consists of an Inman separator and a Mitchell amalgamator, with which, at the preaent time, fifty cubic yards of '~dirt" are being daily treated with a gross recovery of $1.50 to the yard, which is prac­ tically a full recovery of the gold content of the gravel. The gold. is very fine and tlakeY,but the Inman process makes such a close saving that ·but very little escapes with the tailingll. The plant works perfect­ ly. and has a capacity of 300 yard;3 a day. During the past month many mining men have visited the Lucky Swede bar, and have been so well satiatied with the operation of the separator and amalgamator that quite a number of them have already ordered plants for various placer diggings in different por­ tions of the west, and, owing to the large demand now existing for equipment of this character, the company has decided to €I3­ tabllsh manufacturing works at Salt Lake, with a branch at Medford, Oregon, where the separator and amalgamator will be built upon a scale calculated to supply the de­ mand. Several machines are now in course of construction. One of these plants is for Bishop S. N. Snow and associates, of Jen­ \\len, Utah, which will be installed at Tus­ carora, Nevada, for the re-treatment of old mill dumps. A plant will also be put in on the Snake river, in Idaho, by a Salt Lake crowd; and another on the Rogue river, in southwestern Oregon, also by Salt Lakers. The office of the compauy is located at 123 Atlas block, Salt Lake, where a modeJ plant will soon be on exhibition. The United States mines, in the Copper Basin country of Arizona recently made a shipment 9f ore yielding $51.95 per ton in lead and silver. As early as 1884 this mine started operations. Charles Bolman Is one of the present owners. The Day-Bristol mine, at Pioche, Nevada, will increase shipments. New development has revealed a good body of ore in the Iron mine, from which 75 tons can be shipped daily. The Gipsy and May Day are also showing up we1l.

The Prospector and His Burro

(By Will 'c. Higgins.) "We have been having glorious weather for ·prospecting, of late," said the prospec­ tor to his burro, "and, as a consequence, the roule~te wheel In the 'Bucket of Blood' down at the mouth of the canyon has been silent for awhile,and the cheerful click of the poker chips has ceased, for the dealers have joined in the rush for the mountains and wlll enjoy a breath of fresh air for awhile. The regular bar·room bum, also, has a touch.of the fever, and will most likely have a chance to sober up while doing a lit­ tle gentle prospecting stunt, for, as you may know, the regular boozer cannot stand much severe climbing in the hills, and a jaunt of a mile or SO up a s:eep trail gen­ erall}' puts him on the blink, and he is so razzled in hL3 bread basket by the time that night comes that he hasn't strength, even, to inquire if anyone has any wet goods about his person. "You want to know what reference to the bums has to do with our regular even· ing conversation, and if it isn't lowerIng the moral horison of the mining industry to refer, in any way, to such low·down characters, who are an abomination to a self-respecting burro, and e.opecially so to one of your highly strung and sensitive na­ ture. But in giving the true story of ~he proopector in the hills, we must chronicle the success of the bottle tipper, as well as that of the hus:ling and vigorous teetoteler who skips over the hills like a gazelle and ",'ho puts his spare change in prospect de­ velopment, instead of into the Bucket of Blood till. And, if you will listen, I will tell you how a regular booze-fighter made a rich discovery when he leas: expected to. "Some few years ago," continued the prospector, "a stampede for a new gotd di3­ trict occurred in the Wild Cat range in the f.oothills bordering on the Mohave des· ert, and the little settlement near the mouth of Two-Bit canyon was almost entirely, deserted. In fact, the only one left in the town was old 'One Ear' Charley, who was drunk when the news came of the new dis­ covery. Charley had been on a spree for

23

a month, althohgh ·he was a good prospec­ tor when ;sober, Which salutary condition only ha.ppened about four times a year; and, at such times he was not physically fit to get out into the hills, or climb the moun­ tain sides and cliffs in search ot float and out-cropping veins. But, he ·had the pros­ pecting spirit, all right, and would hold a tenderfoot up in a corne!';," for hours tell­ ing him of the many remarkable d~flcov­ erie. he had made, and the only way the tenderfoot could jar him 100.8e was tu sug gest that it was time to 'tank up.' Well, to proceed with my story, for I see that you are becoming a little anxious for details, Charley came to himself about eleven that particular morning, and, from his sleeping place in the corner of a >saloon, where' he had a cuspidor for a pillow,looked around with amazement at the vacant room. At first he thought he was In a strange place, for he could not hear the tinkle of gluses or the shuftling of feet on the rail, whlle the poker table ~was deserted. At last he became so thoroughly, aroused that he stag­ 'gered to his feet to make an investigation. Not a soul was in sight and, going to the door, bis gaze met an abandoned street, with .only a few women and children in sight. Going out he asked what had ha.p· ,pened, and wanted to know if all the s!ern­ er.ex had gone off on a big drunk.

1'1~~'~ ,~

on Well-known Mi'nlng Region In Utah.

The Park City mini.ng district of Utah has l':ielded a large amount of lead-silver pre and. its. mines rank high among the dividend'paylng mining properties of the world. A report on this district, by J. M. BoutweIl, with contributions by L. H. Wool­ sey, has just been published by the United States Geological Survey as PrOfessional Paper 77, containing 231 pages, with many maps and other illustrations. The Park City district is situated in the Wasatch Range, 25 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, at an elevation of 7,200 feet. The district w.as diSCOVered in 1863 and has since produced at least 100,000,000 ounces of .silver and 300,000 tons of lead, besides much gold, copper, and zinc. Dur· ing the last few years the production of zinc ore has increased rapidly. The pro­ duction in 1909 had· an approximate value of $4,000,000. . The district is situated In a region Ol' complex geologic features, both as to the variety of sedimentary rocks and as to the folding and faulting of these beds. Intru­ sipns of igneous rocks have also occurred on a large scale,· and the origin of the metal deposits is believed to be connected with these Intrusions. The excellent ex­ posures at Park City made possible a de­ tailed~ study of the sedimentary formations, and, the accurate measuring by Mr. Bout· well of the; typical exposure of these rocks is of much value for future studies of the geology of the Wasatch Range. The geo­ logic structure of the region is illustrated in colored plateS, and a summary is given E?f its complicated geologic history. The· report contains a careful descrip' tion of the forty-five minerals occurring in the ores .of the district, and this is followen by a chapter devoted to the oc-currence and the origin of the ores. Mr. Boutwell shows that the ores occur as lode deposits and as bedded deposits, following the stratificajionof the sedimentary rocks. They are' not· confined '0 these rocks, however, but ap,pear al8.o in the igneous rocks. Valu­ able depeaits of bedded ore have been mined to a depth of somewhat more than 900 feet, and rich lode ore has been found to depths of 1,400 and 1,500 feet. The ore extendl! still deepe~ I:han this, for milling ore of good quality has been found at depths of 1,700 ·and 2,000 feet. The depesits are worked mainly ·.through shafts which have attained a depth of 2,000 feet. The upper Darts Of the mines are drained by three long tunnels. Adjoining ,mines~ are-connected so that it, ~is...P9ssible tP pass continuously under· gr9Und~ from one end to. the. other of the two l'rincipal belts, ~ the distance in the

southern belt being over 5 miles. The ag­ gregate length of underground workings in the district is probably over 100 miles. Tqe ores are In part shipped directly to smelters and in part concentrated in local mills, from which the concentrates are shipped. The capacity of the largest mill is 200 tons a day. The prinCipal ore minerals are galena, pyrite, and zinc blende. The mines include such weJl-known l'roperties as the Silver King, the Ontario, the Daly, the Daly West, and the Daly·Judge. The lode deposits lie, in a general east­ west zone, which extends across the central part of the district. The OntariO-DalY West system lies in the southeast side and in­ cludes most of the important lodes. The Sliver King system lies about a mile to the northwest. These systems consist of a number of branching and forking fissures. In connection with these two fissure systems, two great series of bedded depos­ its ·have been opened in the Silver King and in the DalY West ground. On account of the uncertainty of the connection of the large ore bodies with the surface crop' pings, much litigation has reSulted, and some of the suits are stil) pending. Most of the bedded ore bodies have been large and rich and occur In sedimentary forma­ tion consisting of limestone or Car'bonifer­ ous and Triassic age. The bedded deposits are intimately connected with the fissures, and at many places the ore bodies of the former connect with those of the latter. Although the bonanzas of high-grade ore have generally been (lxtracted, yet the de­ velopments in the deep levels giVe good assurance that considerable bodieS of mill­ ing ore remain, The commercial interest!! of the district are being consolidated in a way which permits operations on a large scale, with a view to reducing cost, so as to allow the handling of lower-grade ore. The last 100 pages of the report contain a detailed deseription of the mining proper­ ties of the district, and a special map of the central part on the scale of five inches to the~' mile illustrates the geologic rela­ tions. A cOPY of the report may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Geo­ logical Survey, Washlngtn, D. C. ----.;0>---­ It Is expected that some good quicksilver mines will be developed neaT Rhyolite, Ne­ vada. A Los Angeles BY'lldlcate is planning extensive work in this district. --_._()---

-.-­ INCREASE IN SPELTER.

Tbe United States Geological Survey has jnst made public the statistics of produc. tion of all zinc smelters operating during the first six months of 1912, These figures compiled hy C, E. Siebenthal of the Surve; and including figures of tbe Bureau of Sta­ tistics. show that the production of spelter from domestic ore in that period was 159,952 short tons, and from foreign ore 6.544 shol': tons, a total of 166,496 tons of primary speaer, COml}ared wHh 140 196 tons for the first half of 1911 and \~ith 146,330 tons for the last haH of 1911. If the production for the remainder of this year keeps pace with that of the first six montbs, tbe ontput for 1912 will be about 300,000 tons, aPI}roximately 46,000 tons greater tban the production in 1911 and more than double tbe production or any year prior to 1904. The ajljlal'el;t consumption for the first six months of this year was 159,046 short tons, against 145· 157 tons for the last half of 1911 and 131,90~ tons for the first half of 1911. There was a falling off in tbe imports of zinc ore during the period, 27,049 l1!Jort tons, containing 12,128 tons of zinc hav;n~ been imported in the first six m~nths· ~~ this year, against 38,097 tons of ore, con· taining 17,112 tons of zinc in the last half of 1911, and 37,885 tons of ore, contalu, ing 15028 tons of zinc, in tbe first balf of 1911. Kansas led in the quantity of spelter IT.ade in the first six montbs of 1912, with 52A85 short tons; Illinois was next, With 44,224 short tons; Oklahoma third with 3!),010 short tons; tbe remainder,' :;:;3,777 short tons, having been supplied by the ,)ther spelter·producing states. Inquiry made by the Geological Survey, at the beginning of the present year, shower} that the total capacity of the smelters reo porting production was 81,582 retorts, and that the construction of 15,868 additional reo torts in 1912 was contemplated. Allowing an annual average of four and one-half tons per retort, the spelter capacity of the 81 582 retorts for the first six months would be 173,362 tons, less than 7,000 tons in ex· cess of the actual production of primary spelter. Taking into consideration the sec· ondary materials, such as zinc drosses .re· smelted at the regular smelters, the low­ grade carbonates recently smelted, and the impossibility of operating continuously at maximum capacity, it Is evident that the smelting capacity of tbe plants In operation has been strained to the ut:most during the last six months, and that any added re­ torts must have been put into operation as fast, as completed.

Tbe price of spelter ranged from 625 a. pound at St. Louis in January' to ~ents In June. As tbe average New York price for January was but 079 . cents a pound higher than tbe average London price for January, and as tbe duty on spelter 1 1.375 cents a pound, it is interesting to not: that the Montbly Summary of tbe Bureau of Statistics for January gives the imports of spelter for that month as 4,377,360 pounds,

Churn Drills Being Used in Exploring This PromiSing Copper- Camp.

(Special Correspondence) Currie, Nev., Oct. 10.-As an earnest of the faith within tbem, Captain John A. Has· sell, of New York, a widely known mining engineer' and mineralogist, and Frank B.

The miners of the central mineral zone have subscribed a sufficient amount in cash to purchase a second drill [o-r this part of the ditltrict, wbich will be put in place as soon as the machine can be secured from the factory. These two factors, when coup­ led with the earnest work being done e1-3e­ where in the district, foreshadow a lively fall and winter campaign, Witb two churn drills sinking holes at the r3te of from tWllnty to thirty feet per day, as against the old·tlme way with hammer and drill, we have reason -to feel a little E·ly just now. Wbile en ·route to New York, a week ago, Captain Hassell was interviewed in your city regarding his investigations In tbls' dis· trict. Among otber good words he had to say was: "Thl,s district is not only well min­ eralized, but it is tnineralized better than any other -ten miles of territory I ever saw, and I have been pretty much over the prin­ cipal districts of Mexico, the United States and South Africa. • • • The formation shows a series of porphyry and lime con­ tacts, with north-south strike. On tbe con· tacts are found ,tbe prinCipal ore deposits. From a gealogh)'al point of view, the country is ideal for the making of large copper, gold and silver producers."

Mine Owners Advance Scale in This Great Camp.

(Reporter, Eureka, Utah.) The agitation which was started some time ago by the members of the Tintic Miners' Union has resulted in a raise in wages at various properties of the Tintic district, notices having been posted at sev­ eral of the mines within the past few days announcing a raise of 25 cents per day for all underground workers. While all of the mines have not yet notified employees of this change in the wage >scale, it is gen­ erally understood here that the raise will be effective throughout the district. The Centennial Eureka, Bullion Beck and Chief Cons. mines were the first to announce the increase, and the properties which are un­ der the management of John Dem were nex.t in line. The raise is to

News from this property is to the effect that conditions are improving all the time, and that, as develop­ ment progrest3es, the more certain are the promoters that the Thompson-Quincy will soon be placed with the regular producer~ of the camp, Eureka Reporter: The "Humbug ore shoot" has at last been connected up with the 175 level of the Beck Tunnel shaft and, within the next day or two, much of the ore which is now being mined from that section of the property will be sent to tlle surface through this new connection, Superintend· ent Perry },'uller states that at a point near where this connection was made he now has a splendid face of lead-silver ore and that the general condition of the mine is good. Two or three feet of ore on whkh the miners are now at work carries from thirty to forty ounces in silver and about 25 per ('ent lead_ Eureka Reporter: The new {)ompressor and other material needed to electrify the hoisting plant at the Victoria mine will. no doubt, be delivered within the next .two months, and the installation will take place immediately thereafter'. Before the first of the new year this mine will be in position for the rapid and economical handilng of a heavy tonnage of ore, and in view of the fact that the indebtedness will then have been wiped out and the new euipment paid for, the shareholders will have but a short time to wait before dividends will be in order, Some very nice ore Is now being sent out from the Victoria, and the showing on the various levels of the mine Is excel­ lent. American Fork Citizen: The directors of the Silver Flat are elated over conditions reported by the miners from that property, and aTe going to Issue an official report to aU stockholders, imparting the good news. and progress of the work in the lower tun· nel, which was started over three months ago. The tunnel was begun following ex· pert opinions given by H, W. Owen, which have been verified by every foot of develop· ment. The tunnel is following the vein, which covers the full face, and is composed of porphyry, decomposed quartz and lime, and, according to the opinion of Mr. Owen, again given this week; Shows fine indica· tions of getting the ore body, The objective point of the tunnel is to make the junction of the ore in the shaft on the surface.

Eureka. ,Reporter: Notwithstanding the fact tha.t the ore which is now being sent out from the Swansea mine is bringing less than $8 per ton, the very favorable contract which the min.e has with the smelter admits of a fair profit, and, now that some of the development work has been stopped, the treasury is again being built up, The Swan· sea still maintains an output of about 100 tons daily, and the s:melter returns show this ore to carry about eight ounces in sil­ ver, 50 cents in gold and ahout $4 in iron, whkh up to 20 per cent brings 10 cents a unit, and above that point 15 cents a unit. During the past few days there has' been a marked improvement in the stopes on both the 940 and 850 levels, Not only is there more ore in sight,but the values appear to be increasing. Eureka Reporter: Eighty tons of silver ore, valued a:t about $12,000, left the No. 3 workings of the Iron Blossom mine a few days ago, being the richest lot of ore that has been shipped from this property in some time. Mine assays show the ore to carry about 230 ounces silver to the ton, and, while the management is anxicus to hold as much of this character of ore as possible for the new mill, Superintendent Charlie Zabriskie {)ould not resist the temptation to put a couple of ca'rs of it on the market at this time, when silver is bringing the best price in years. There is no question but what this ore can be handled by the new milling process, but a slump of a few cents in the price of silver during the time that the mill is being erected would more than offset the saving in treatment charges,

----Or---­ THE HOME RUN.

Conditions at the Home Run, in Bristol district, Nevada,are reported to be most satisfactory. The raise to the surrace has been completed, and now constitutes a working incline shaft from which the prod· uct of the mine can be raised to the surface without re-handling. For some time a buck· et has been employed, but this will soon give way to a skip, when, it 13 antiCipated, the daily output will be in the n'eighborllOod of eigh teeiJ tons of hi'gh·grade ore. Satis­ afctory arrangements have been made to haul the ore to the railroad, and it should not be long before the Ghipments will be regular and quite heavy, which means the beginning of dividend payments in the not distant future, Large volumes of shipping ore are exposed in the mine workings. Ac­ cording to all indications, the Home Run is the making of a great mine_ o Lessees on the ground of the Indian Camp Mining company at Manhattan, Ne­ vada, have recently made a strike on this property. An eight-inch vein of ore showing gold to the naked eye has been uncovered. Henry Schubert and Geollge Ludwig are two of the lucky lessees,

Parker Post: James H. Watson, super­ intendent of the Arizona-Empire Copper Mines company, arrived from the coast Mon­ day morning, and has been busy all week arrangtng for the employment of a large force at the mines. Accompanying Mr, Wat­ son was L, P. Barlow, an expert auto truck engineer, who has been examining the roads between Pacrker and tbe Empire camp since his arrival. These roads are to be put in good condition and the grades cut down. Several auto trucks are ,to be installed by Mr. Barlow, who will have charge of freight­ ing the ore of the Arizona Empire from the mines to Parker,

Telluride Examiner: The Primos Chem­ Ical company is now mining on the left hand or west side of lower Bear creek, and has bodies of vanadium ore three times or bet­ ter the thickness of tbat on the site where the first mining was done in opening up the property some years ago. Idaho Springs Gazette: Lindall, Eckberg & Co,mpany, leasing on the l<'ranklln mine, Gilson gulch, have encountered a fine streak of silver-lead ore in the shaft. The shaft was ninety feet deep when they took hold, and it will be sunk to a depth of 150 feet. The streak of ore ranges. from ten to four­ teen inChes wide and shows veins high enough to pay all the expenses incurred in sinking. The same !larUes are Interested in the Champion Dirt mine on Trail run, and their last shipment of ten tons, made one week since, returned a net :value of $30 per ton, Central City Observer: Arthur' Most, operating the Baker mine on Quartz hill, has a fine showing of ore in the shaft, which ha3 reached a point 85 feet be­ low the 225-foot tunnel level. The property is equipped with an electric hoist. The vein is two and one-half f£.« in width and con­ tains eight inches of $40 ore, with fourteen inclle~ of mill grade. A small streak four inches in width gives values of $75 per ton, A shipment of milling ore, taken out· in the course of sinking, gave one ounce gold on the plates, with concentrates valued at $22 per ton. Central City Observer: In Lake district, the Sub Treasury lode, operated by R C. Benight, is showing up "orne good ore. The winze in the tunuel, which is down fifty feet, disdoses the vein to be six feet in width at this point, two feet of which is smelting grade, with a value of $95 per ton. An average of this vein across its full width gives a value of $15 ..er ton, Just as soon as the necessary hoisting machinery is in­ stalled, this property is sure to make some noise, as it is located close to the famous Pittsburg and Notaway mines, which have a great reputation for "high grade."

Bisbee Review: W. J. Young, jr., pres­ ident of the Great Western Mining company, accompanied by W. G. McBride, superintend­ ent of the company, were Bisbee, visitors. Wednesday, Mr. Young stated that his com­ pany is now shippln,g three cars of ore daily to -the EI Paso smeltery, and is employing amout ninety men in tbe mines. The output has been materially increased at the pres· ent time, but Mr, Young stated that tt was not the intention to further increase produc­ tion in" the near future. The Calumet and . Arizona company Is now working sixty men on its Courtland l'roperties, and the output amounts to two cars daily, which is shipyed to Douglas.

Georgetown Courier: J. Hurley and B.O, Bonner, who are opera:ing a lease on the Harris lode, in East Argentine, report a strike which promises to be one of the most important of the year. These operators have opened up a streak of ore which meas­ ures fourteen Inches in width at the top and eighteen inches at the bottom of the drift, and indications point to its becoming much wider when .it is further developed. This streak has been worked upon for some time, and several weeks ago samples were brought to town and tested and found to carry sev­ eral thousand ounces in silver to .the ton.

Prescott Courier: L, N. Wombacher, while in Prescott recently, reported that work at the Monarch mine, on Cherry creek, is proceeding with most satisfactory results. A force of about fifteen men il3 employed in putting the old mine in shape and the open· ing up of new -ground will go rapidly for­ ward, Kingman Miner: Dick and Greely Clack, who have been road building from the val­ ley to the C, 0, D. mine, are in town, hav­ ing completed the work They expect to make shipments of ore from the Rico mine, that .property showing up some fine gold ore. The last shipment of ore from the prop­ erty gave results above $200 per ton. • Bisbee Review: Mining at Christmas has been given an impetus since the Arizona Eastern company began to survey for an extension of the Phoenix & Eastern road from its present terminus right up to the Saddle. Mountain property. The owners of the Saddle Mountain are constantly adding to the force employed and the reserves of ores are being increased daily. By the time the extension is completed, which will be about the first of next year, the Saddle Mountain will be in shape to produce a large tonnage for shipping. The daily shipments will aVerage between 500 and 1000 tons.

Herbert Crane, who have a lease on-the Trilby rpine, recently opened up a large amount of ore and have already shipped a car of rich lead-gold.silver ore. The lessees are very sanguine over the results of their first shipment, and work will be pushed ahead as rapidly as possible, and the Trilby may be looked 'forward to as a regular stiip­ per as long a'S the weather conditions will permit. The property is situated near the Highland Mary. A small force of men has been employed, but as the developm~t work progresses, more men will be added to the pay-roll. ----'0·----, IDAHO.

The mill is now assembled and ready for operation, and will be •blown in" the end of the· week. The company has about a thousand tons of good mill!ng ON! on its dumps and a few men are now em­ ployed in the mine takin'g out miperal. Challis Messenger: There will soon be a new producing gold mine in Custer county, and this time at Bonanza. The strike made there some months ago by Clarence Eddy is now looming up !liS a great free'milling gold - producer.

Geofge L. Morgan is turning out to be all that was hoped for. They are now taking out a good quantity each day of ore that will average around 15 per cent copper, with some values in gold and silver in addition. . The strike was made in the bottom of an old shaft, that was sunk on (he property twenty-five years ago, and was encountered about forty feet below the surface. The present development is described by miners visiting the property as being a tine big showing, and it is th" general opinion that the leasers will make a nke little c1ean·up. NEVADA.

Ely News: The Ely Natina1 l\-Iining and Milling company is to ship two tons of crude platinum ore from the company's hold­ ings at IlIipah to Hamburg, Germany.

At Hamburg, it will be subjected to laboratory examination by the company interested, being the second and largest lot ordered from Germany. The shipment includes in the vicinity of fifty sacks of the crude ore, Pioche Record: The Prince Consolidatett Mining company has shipped this week an average of 225 tons daily from the Prince mine, or a total of 1575 tons for the week, whlIe the output from Bullionville tailings dump has been fully as much more. :l.Ian­ ager Smith states that the Bullionville ship­ ments will be in{)reased right away, as the pits, filled.with water during the recent rain;3 and flood, are drying up so that the normal output of from twelve to fifteen cars per day can be maintained. In the near future the production from the mine will be very materially increased. Tonopah Bonanza: That there is consid· erable activity in the Beatty district, where preparations are under way for the opera­ tion of cinnabar properties, was the word brought to Tonopah yesterday by J. A. Klampt, the Rhyolite civil engineer, who is spending a day or two here attending to business affairs. The properties are making preparationS' to retort the mercury element from the ore. Mr. Klampf stated that he had been informed that a ten-ton furnace was soon to be installed on property owned by Dick Wiggers, while a retort of 1600­ pound capac.ity had been ordered for the Kerman property. Yerington Times: The Yerington Moun­ tain Copper company, operating on the north end of Black mountain, east of Yerington, in the Mountain View section of the district, is pushing work these days. Tunnel No. 2 is expected to tap the ore 100 feet below tunnel No. 1. The face of the tunnel Is now in about 300 feet and seventy feet re­ main to be run to hit the ore body. Reg­ ullir shipments will soon be made to the

Thompson -smeltery. This will be another regular shipper added to the already large list of shippers in this district. John Ker­ chin, of Tonopah, is president of the com­ pany, and James H. Montieth .secretary. Winnemucca Silve:' State: R. S. Bolam, superintendent of the Eastern Star mine at Gold Circle, arrived in Winnemueca from Reno yesterday afternoon, leaving this morning for his mine :VIr. Bolam states that he has just installed a pump in the shaft, with a capacity of 500 gallons per minute, that will take care of all the water that will be encountered. The shaft had reached a depth of 150 feet, when sinking was stopped on ac{)ount of the water, but was resumed again this morning. Consid­ erable high-grade has been found in the shaft, some of which run into the thousands of dollars, but the ore in the bottom of the shaft will average about ~80 to the ton. - - - ·0>----­

A ONE-FOOT TUNNELING MACHINE.

The Utah Karns Tunneling Machine com­ pany, of Salt Lake, has rC{)eived a one-foot tunneling machine from the factory. This machine is on exhibition in the vacant lot just ea.3t of the Newhouse building, and de­ tails concerning it can be obtained by call­ ing at the oil'ice of the company, 617 New­ house block. In actual operation, this type of tunneling machine will be used in short drifts and tun­ nels, where it would be impracticable to in­ stal! the six-foot machine. The one·foot ma­ chine is intended to be mounted on a truck with a ten·foot feed screw, and it will drive a hole one foot in diameter to a length of ten feet. This hole will so ease the ground that the balance of the face may be broken in the usual manner, by the driving of holes with regular mach inet3, and at a saving of half of the usual powder expense. It is expected that a great deal of in­ terest will be taken in mining circles in this one-foot machine, as it promises to revo­ lutionize mine development In this western country.

nel, which it is extending throngh the ad­ JOining Pine Nut -ground. The Smith Valley Mines company, in Smith Valley, will soon begin shipmen:s to the Mason Valley smeltery at Thompson, Nevada. The ore will be hauled to Hud­ son by automobile trucks. E. F. Adam3 is president of tile company. Development work on the Alta·Emerald at Alta, Utah, is producing gratifying reo suits. The company is mining chalcocite containing some silver sulphide, which av­ erages about $60 a ton. C. J. McGlynn Is president of the company. II. S.Burch, with others, of Sal; Lake, is interested in the developments in the Swales mountain region in Nevada. The ore is lead-silver, said to carry seventy·five ounces in silver and thirty-five per cent lead. The claims are known as the Monitor group. A millman, employed at the Belmont mill, at Millers, Nevada, made a fatal mistake, when on eoming off shift, he drank from a hose, which he supposed contained water, but through which cyanide was tlowing. He died within two hours, in spite of all efforts to save him. From Ophir, Utah, it is reported that a strike of highgrade ore has been made on the Lion Hill ground, 100 feet west or the Chloride Point tunnel. The Ophir Hills Is shipping two or three cars daily. The 300·ton mill for this mine is being completed rapidly. The Aztec Mines company, operating in the Senator section of Arizona, near Pres­ cott, Is joining the Cash, Snoozer, Juanita, and the Big Pine a;, an active operator. It will SOon begin milling operations, the near· est custom mill being within 3,000 feet of the property. At the Montezuma mine, near Aspen, Col· orado, the management is planning to give leases on fifty square-foot blocks. There is said to be fifty thousand feet of ore .blocked out, of a gross value of $40 a ton, about half of which is net. C. H. Coberly is manager of the mine. It is rumored that a merger of some of the companies in the National, Nevada, dis· tri9t, w'hich have been engaged in expensive litigation are about to conSOlidate. The companies concerned are the National Mine., Charleston Hill syndicate, the White Rocks and Shiloh groups. John Sommers, of Yerington, Nevada, has taken. an option on the Blue Jay prop­ erty. Equipment will be installed to work the mine through its 400·foot shaft. The mine is located three miles east of Yering­ ton and adjoins the New Yerington COP­ per company's ground. The Federal Mining & Smelting company has taken over the Wilson McKay prop­ erties at iMace,. Idaho, the consideration be­ ing given as something under $2511,000.

This property adjoins the Standard mine, and its acquisition will enable the company to work a greater length on this vein and the Mammoth, which have been very produc­ tive. The Tamarack and Custer Consolidated Mining company of Wallace, Idaho, has leased the Rex mill on Nine Mile creek. The company is employing ,between 30 and 40 men. The mill has a capacitY' of 400 tons, and Manager Eugene R. Day expects to work 60 to 70 men soon. The New Yerington Copper company, operating near Yerington, Nevada, has built a new compressor and engine house, bunk house, superintendent's house and office. Superin:endent .MJarsal has put men at work stoping rich ore in the tunnel, and a heavy .productlon is looked for soon. One hundred and eighty tons of ore was recently Il:rllled from the Rakestraw lease on the Manhattan·Dexter and Little Grey mines at Manhattan, Nevada, and returned $25 per ton. L. W. Rakestraw has recently returned from San Francisco, and will at once start sinking from the 200·f,?ot level. In the Antelope district, near Goldfield, Nevada, a gasoline hoisting engine will be installed on the lease held by Charles Ferry, Harry McGuigan, John F. Kuntz and Dr. McCarthy of Goldfield. ,shipments are be· Ing made from the adjoining lease, and rich ore has been taken out of this group. The Homestake Mining company, of Lead, South Dakota, is putting nearly 5,000 tons of ore through its stamp mill and cy­ anide plant daily. The Wasp No.2, tn the same district, Is treating 500 tons of very low grade dump ore at a good profit. The Trojan is treating 200 tons by cyaniding and is shipping some first class ore. The 'Copper Queen 'Consolidated Min­ ing company has taken a 'bond 011 the World's Fair mine near Bisbee, Arizona, in the Patagonia district, which was once a producer of bonanza ores. It Is believed that the present dump will yield. $100,000, and developments with depth will make a good copper mine of the pro-perty. The mammoth mine. near Tucson, Ari­ zona, bas 'been purchased by the American Vanadium company. This company will re­ open the mine for Its gold and vanadium ores. About fifteen years ago it was a good producer. Only the highgrade, free-milling ore was worked fiuccessfully, the cyanide plocess not having been introduced at that time, Recent developments at the Buckley mine in Gilpin county, Colorado, which adjoins the famous Gunnell, which produced $8,000,000, show three feet of ore assaying over twenty ounces in gold and seven ounces In silver. This is showing on the 100 and 200·foot lev­ els, and the ore is ·identical in appearance in both places, and this assay is expected to be borne out by others to follow. There

i3 also much copper sulphide mixed with the

gold and silver bearing material. Ben T. Lloyd is manager of the property. The Revelator Mining company will take over several claims on the divide between Snake Creek and Bonanza Flat, in Utah, and a tunnel is projected to cut' the ore at a lower depth. The Revelator claims were among the tlrst to be patented in the sta~e, and are at an elevation of over 10,000 feet. The Gemini·Key:stone -Mining company, of SaIt Lake, operating at Eureka, Utah, is now shipping from 1,200 to 1,500 tons of ore, monthly, under the leasing System, and mine development is being carried on under contract. The mine is looking well and considerable good ore is shOWing in the old workings, as well as in virgih ground. .superintendent William Jones of the Elias Meyers Mining company, of '(!'llnt, Idaho, states that electric power will soon be turned on at the mine, and the tunnel, now in 1,500 feet, will soon reach and drain the old shaft. Twenty.five men are em­ ployed. Elias Meyers of London is the owner. Net profits for the Nevada Hills Min­ ing company, operating at Fairview, Nevada, were less for the month of August than for the .preceding month, according to a report just issued. The mill treated 3,386 tons of ore of a gross value of $27.44 a ton. recov­ ering $25.61. Net proot3 were $53,337.96 and costs $33,384.72. The new 900-ton furnaCe of the Mallon Valley smeltery, at Thompson, Nevada, was rblown in September 19th, and the old one will now be enlarged to the same size. The latter, al~hough designed for 400 tons has treated 700 to 800 tons a day of the ~Xcel­ lent fluxing ores of the district. It is ex­ pected tha~ the capacity of the two will 'be OVer 2,000 tons of ore daily. The Pocohontas l\1ining company, oper­ ating near Mayer, Arizona, has concluded to move a mill to the ground, erect a holst and pursue development work In earnellt. Eight or ten ca'l's of silver ore shipped years ago to the Needles smeltery, yielded a handsome profit, and the mine now looks like a producer of good milling gold ore. The Arizona-Belmont MIning company. near Silver Bell, Arizona, will be actively developed by the Tonopah-Belmont Develop­ ment company, of Tonopah, Nevada.C. A. Miller, F. Bradshaw, Charles M. Wicks, M. S. Keath and Charles Sinkler recently visited the property, In the illltereats of the lat~er company. R. G. McQuarrie, superintendent of the Bull Valley Gold Mines company, in the BulJ valley district of Utah, has uncovered some very' high-grade gold ore, some of the specimen rock showing $2,000 to the ton. A number of samples of ore taken from. va­ rious parts of the workings show uniform values of $10 to $15.
