MINING ITEMS.

Fryer process es'o
s5l ss per ton in gold and silver
there being only 80 4s gold. Tho
value Of the bullion was 81 70 "a
psr ounce-$1 II b3-10O and o
9O.lOO cents in gold there being no
base metal whatever in it, proving
rs copclusively as possible that the
process makes q clean sweep OF all
the base metal. This ore, although
rich and giving excellent assays,
has always heretofore dsfeated every
effort made for its successful educ-
ton. It's com binations of minerals
Ia one of the most stubborn on the
coast to overcome. It seems how
ever. to make no difference with the
Fryer process, the ore working with
the same ease and successful results
a. the free ores OF the Comstock.
The Reno journal says "The
Consolidated Poe Mining Company
is not by any means the only COM
pany at work in Peavine. The
Cleopatra, situated mile and .
half south from the Poe Consoli-
dated, has kept up active operations
since the lst Of last May, and pro-
pose 10 work until they have de-
veloped q valuable mine, of which
there is q good prospect. Their
main tunnel is now in $40
fest. Last week, in this drift, were
found specimens Of quartz c ntain-
ing ruby silver. In the progress
of the main tunnel several district
lodges have been cut. each of them
bearing gold and silver in fair
quantities. When the mother vain
is iRtersected. the Cleopatra folks
feel confident of having valuable
find"
The Phoebe Journal" says "A.
j. Blair, superin;endentof the lips.
says that gold strike has been
made IN that mine. A large chunk
has been taken out which is clus-
Tered with fine leaves and wires of
gold holding the chunk together.
The quartz that the gold is found
in very much resembles that of the
famous gold mines in California.
This is the finest piece of coarse
gold Of any quantity ever found in
this district before. An assay made
Of piece of rock taken from this
mine went 81, 500.
II is said the latest developments
in the Defiance mine confirm the
belief that it has no superior As .
base metal mine in the world. 1t
is ore everywhere, the hard ore
going 1926 per ton. The furnace
is averaging over two hundred bars
per day. The Loretta tunnel was
expected to strike the ledge some
time this week. The Cuervo furnace
was to start this week. The Modoc
Company have ordered q furnace
for their mine. OF the same size and
pattern as the Defiance. e.-Inyo Inde-
pendent.
The Eureka "Sentinel" speaking of
the Cornucopia District says: ear
rangements are being made for the
erection Of two mills in the district;
one for the Hussey Company, which
has lately struck q four feet ledge Of
nch ore, at depth Of $50 feet; the
other mill IL intended for custom
work, for which there will be plenty
OF work, s there is now . large
amount Of rich ore lying on the
damps of different claims awaiting
reductions facilities"
A Los Angeles paper 10 authority
Tor the statement that Senator Jones
ksrnville mine is apt to be the open
Ing Of second Comstock. A pro-
aigious body Of ore has already been
disclosed by levels, shafts, crsss-cuts,
etc, thas account figuring the discov-
cry at 100000 tons as a starter, and
esch ton assaying $500, with no end
70 the probable result in the vast de-
posit.
The Eureka sentinel" says the
Austin Company Of Mineral Hill
nave struck fine body Of ore in
their mine, only about twenty-five
teet from the surface. The vein 10
Tour feet In width and is of that rich
chloride ore which yielded so hand
somely to the company . few years
ago.
We learn that the long pending
litigation over the famous Gerro
Gordo mine has been terminated by
a copromise between the parties to
the suit and that all the mines in the
Cerro Gordo hill have been incorpo-
rated into one company, with a capi-
