Mining Items,

Pyritic smelling, as applied 10 the
treatment of our refractory ores by DR..
Carpenter and at the Iron Hill smelter,
have proven satisfactory, but it is not so
desirablea method as copper matte smelt
ing. but how and where to get the cop.
per is a serious question. Copper ore in
considerable quantities has been known
to exist in the Southern Hills, but is I'M
developed. The completion ofthe B. *
NJ. through the center Of the Hills TO
Deadwood, will give cheap transporta-
ton and no doubt stimulate develop
ment Of the inds.-Pioneer.
AN ENGLISH TEST.
The London Mining Journal of Sep
tember Is says that "We are now able
to give the results Of q crushing and
smelling of tinstone from Dakota, which
has been sent to Messrs. Thomas Bolitho
and Sons, Chyandour, Penzance. 1t
comprised forty-three casas, and in their
communication, datedfhe eighth Instant,
Messrs. Thomas Bolitho and Sons re-
port as follows: The tiustone received
weighed seventeen tons 1862 pounds,
and this yielded 1910 pounds Of black
tin, say ia pounds, or rather oyer five
per cent. of black tin per ton of rocL.
This black tin assayed seventy per cent
for metallic tin. The quantity of metal
in the ore obtained OSLO pounds) cal
culated on the assay Of seventy per cent
would be 1868 pounds. AS a result OF
smelling We actually obtained 1889
pounds Of refined tin, which we have
to-day sent you by rail, made up into
fifty ingots, and branded "Harney Peak
Tin" The quality of the metal is su-
perior refined. We may add that there
would naturally be a greater loss both
in the dressing and smelling of special
small parcels, such as the above, than
there would be in the continuous and
regular way Of working on a large
SCALE"
The Retriver Mining company, OF
Ruby Basin, have contracted for the
shipment of one thousand tons Of ore to
Omaha for reduction.
THE GLENDALE.
A special correspondent of the Rapid
Republican, writing from the Eta mine
under date of Oct. LIST, says 1.-THE
closing down of the Glendale some
time ago occasioned all kinds of un-
favorable comment. The subject is up
again, and all kinds Of theories as To
what the company propose TO do excite
the multitude. 1t is known, however,
positively that the management sent for
a list Of all claims due by the company,
which were forwarded and the money
sent with instructionst to the superintend.
ent TO put on a full force of men in the
mine on Monday morning and as soon
as ore enough had teen procured to
start up the mill, to get the diamond
drill and the power which was ship
ped to Hermosa and as soon a possible
start 1t at hole making in the mime. A
telegram came last Saturday counter.
handing the orders to put mines al
work and ordering the diamond drills
and traps to be left at Hermosa. The
knowing ones say that this is good news
that James Wilson has been negotiating
for the purchase of the Glendale prop
erty for some time, but there was a hitch
in the price and they feel sure now That
Wilson has obtajped the control, of the
property and That when il starts UP
which will not be a far distant day, Il
will be in connection with the Eta
which is c.ose by, and run continuously
