The Granite Mountain mine near
this place is becoming more promis-
ing every day. The shaft reached
the lOO-foot level recently and a
cross drift has been in progress since
that date. The shoot was encounter
ed five feet from the shaft and the
drift is not through it yet. From
what we can learn the ore is of high
class and tho ore body excels any,
thing yet found at that depth in
Meagher County, the Cumberland
and Yellowstone not excepted. Ar
rangements are being made to have
carload shipped at an early date to
test its working value. No one,
however, who has seen the mine has
any doubt of its being great pro-
perty and calculated to attract at
tention to this vicinity since many
of the prospects around it are very
fine. The first bullion ever pro
duced in Meagher County was rur
out of small improvised furnace
short distance from this famous pro
perty, and we believe it will prove
rich camp.-Husbandman.

VEIN DEVELOPMENT.

The Mining Industry of Denver is
edited by a scientific, practical miner,
a rare avis and quite frequently
sound advise is given in the columns
Of that paper, the following being an
example to which we most heartily
subscribe:
The Industry has many times in
the past year urged the necessity for
more crosscut prospecting in mining.
1t has frequently made the state
ment that the "commonest error
made by miners is in not crosscutt-
ing more" The miner sees little
"feeder" coming into the vein: it
may be scarcely more than seam.
Or he may see "slip' or ''spur," as
he calls it, leading from the vein.
1t, like the ''feedtr," may be only IA
seam and it is considered of no con
sequence. There is the mistake.
These "slips" and ''feeders'' are of
consequence and Of immense import
ance. Often and often they prove
to be ore bearing and not unfre-
quently they are the main ore bear
ing veins. Two very marked illus
trations of the necessity for pros
pecting these things are reported
from Gilpin county. They are in
TIE two first veins discovered in the
Rocky mountains the Gregory
Robtail and Bates-Hunter. The
former has been worked almost con-
stantly since 1859 and it is probable
that it has not paid any profit for
over twenty-five years. A few
hundred feet in depth the vein failed
to yield as rich ore, or ore in as large
quantities, as it yielded in and near
the surface. Now the report is that
a cross-cut of fiftysix feet has open
ed an unsupported vein or ''slip''
from the main vein, which carries
good quantities of 13-ounce ore
The claim is that the new discovery
promises to make a new mine of the
Gregory-Bobtail.
In the Bates Hunter, at a depth o1
500 feet, what appears obe ''spur'
or ''feeder" has been followed unit
it has opened into vein of richer
ore than the mine has had for several
hundred feet. a crOsscur woult
have found this ore years ago. Sim
iliar illustrations could be cited with
out number.

ECONOMICAL MINING.

The granite Mountain Mining
Company yielded last year S5,471
tons of ore, at an average cost of
mining of 1913 per ton. The three
mills of the company crushed 1862
tons (weD of ore, or 6S,SoO tons
(dry) and lO,SO7 tons (weD or salt,
or 1O,64o tons (dry.) The salt and
ore was mixed before crushing. The
cost of milling was sl0per ton (dry).
The Dalmatia mine, El Dorado
county, California, belonging to the
American River syndicate, an Eng
lish corporation, handled at its mill
43,OOO tons of rock in the thirteen
months, from July, 1890, to August,
1891. Between the lst of August,
and the 31st of December, the mach
inery dealt with 10000 tons of ore
The gold was extracted at the aver
age cost for mining and milling OF
80 cents, Or Is. Id. per ton. In Oc-
tober there were crushed 4,44S tons.
which were mined and milled at a
total cost of 43 cents per ton. The
The mill is run by electricity, gen.
Grated by water power.
The statement of manager Long
maid, of the Empire, Lewis and
Clark County, gives profit Of 1858,
S39.32 for the past year on the min
ing and milling of $1,000 tons o.
ore, which assayed only an average
of S4.29 ton. This profit is the
result of good management, which
has reduced the cost of handling the
ore from SG to ~ ton.
These instances of the economical
mining and treatment of ore could b'
added to indefinitely, but they arr
sufficient to illustrate the grea
strides made in the business of min
ing. The question today is not wha
the ore assays, or what values can b
earned by mining and treating tn
ore by the application of the sam
business methods as are invoked t
to bring success to any business Ell
terprise.

THE ACT OF 1878.

ssThe Hon. Jeremiah Wilson made
an argument before the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia in
the case of Harley $. Morse, ct al. of
Colorado, who presented silver
brick containing 800 ounces at the
Mint in Philadelp phia and demanded
that it be coined. The Superinten-
dent of the Mint declined to do so,
on the ground that there was no law
requiring this to be done. The
Director of the Mint being appealed
to, also refused to coin the silver in
to dollars, pointing to the act of
Congress which limits the purchase
of silver to 4,5OO,OO0 ounces a
month. A writ of mandamus was
refused by Judge of the District
Court and the case came up for
argument in the District Sup
rene Court. In his argument
Mr.. Wilson sought to maintain
that the act of 1878, which limits
silver coinage, is unconstitutional.
At the time of the adoption of the
constitution the existing conditions
made gold and silver equal as money.
Nothing can be found, he said, in
all the debates and writings of that
period which in the most remote
way indicate that anything but free
coinage Of silver was thought Of by
anybody; on the contrary, that every
source was clear recognition that
the people were to have, as they
then had, the right to the unrestrict-
ed use of gold and silver as money
and the free and unlimited coinage
of both of them as money. He
further argued that it is not in the
power Of congress to demonetize
silver, because silver and gold coins
alone were organized by the COM
mon law. The writ prayed for
should be granted, he said, because
it is not within the discretion of the
Secretary of the Treasury nor has he
any right to exercise his judgment
in regard to the coinage of silver"

ELECTRICITY AND MINING.

The Virginius Mining Company,
of Colorado, is reported to be saving
$4,000 yearly in fuel expenses by
the addition of electrical power to
the workings of the mine, to say
nothing about the saving in light
expense, as the mine is lighted
throughout by the dynamo furnish
ing the power.
The San Bernardo mine, located
in the Trout Lake district, Colorado,
is making preparations to operate
the workings of the noted mine by
electrical power. The Edison Gen
eral Electrical Company have re-
Gently put in at this mine generator
to furnish sufficient power to operate
three electric drills. This plant is
situated at the lower tunnel which
is being driven expressly to open up
a territory heretofore unexplored
and which presents very favorable
prospects of containing vast bodies
of rich ore, probably in contact form
If this plant demonstrates to the
management that it is more eco.
nomical than steam or compressed
air, more extensive plant will be
put in early the coming summer.
The Memphis Mining Company
of Ouray, Colorado, have placed
electrical drills and machinery upor
their property. They are boring in.
to the mountain at the rate ol
twenty-six inches every six minutes
in solid quartz in search of the Bright
Diamond ore body which they may
strike at any time. More of this
machinery should be introduced te
the mines of the country.--Joumal

be my excuse for addressing you. have
looked over your city at various times for
the last year and taken the pains to IN
yestigate the resources tributary thereto,
and heartily congratulate you on the
possibilities of your future prosperity.
Being but few miles from the ocean,
on a we'll protected harhor, surrounded
by a seemingly inexhaustable supply OF
fine timber, rich soil, when the timber is
removed, numerous stone quarries OF un-
usual excellence, and accessible water
ways, Aberdeen must needs be thriving
city in the near future. The Aberdeen q
Victoria railroad, completed to the straits
opens up vast territory we'll worthy Of
development, as it is known that fruits OF
all kinds, hops, grains, hay and vegeta-
bles thrive in that region with wonderful
luxuriance. 1t is variously estimated
that this region will support a
population of from $4,000 to 100000, and
two thirds Of this population is plainly
tributary to Aberdeen, but from close OBJ
servation do not believe half OF your
citizens realize this and that energy and
push are necessary to the accomplish
ment OF this much desired end.
The people, not only Of Aberdeen, but
of all the Harbor should take united
action to secure the early improvement
OF the inside Harbor, which understand
can be made for about $4,000. The
completion Of the Northern Pacific rail-
road to the Harbor brings Tacoma and
other Sound ports $50 miles nearer San
Francisco, with no towage bills to speak
of and several hundred miles nearer
China and Japan. 1t will only be mat
ter of short time before the possibilities
Of this section are understood by such
men as J. J. Hill, and it behooves the
Harbor not to "hide its light under a
bushel." TRANSIENT OBSERVER.

THE proposition made by Samuel benn
for the opening of D street is unworthy a
man of his means and there is grave
doubt in the minds of many of the wis
dom of the council in acceeding to any
such proposition. By good authority the
HERALD is informed that embodied in
the original contract between Samuel
Benn and Eugene France, on file in the
auditors office, there is clause binding
Benn to open such streets through his un-
surveyed triangle" as combinations OF
such streets as France should lay out in
his plat. Mr.. France has stated that he
had such contract and was anxious to
have d street opened, but singularly
enough Mr.. Benn has lost all recollection
of such an agreement. The ac-
ceptance of Mr.. Benn's proposition
exempts his property from the law
full street assessment and causes pull
from the city treasury of between three
and four hundred dollars which it will
never get back, and establishes dscid-
ediy bad precedent. Mr.. Benn is not a
"Gus Carruthers."

THE FISHING LAW.

The Sound papers are loudly condemn
ing the state fish law, which prohibits
the catching Of salmon on Puget sound
from March l to June /. The same law
provides that the closed season on the
Columbia river shall be from March to
April 10, making rank discrimination
against Washington industry in favor
Of Oregon fishermen.
The close season on Grays harbor and
Shoalwater bay is not the same. On
these waters there is no close season in
the spring. The close season is from No
vember Is to December Is.
Such being the case there is a golden
opportunity for our local fishermen to
supply the inland markets with the most
delicious fish Of these waters, and this
being the lenten season, the demand will
largely exceed the supply.

an additional appropriation, and it is still
slumbering. Anyone at all familiar with
such affairs knows that as rule first APP
preparations for public structures are al
ways email, because it is a universal
custom to commence such structures on
scale which necessitates further appro-
priations to complete them. Our sena-
tors strain every nerve to secure $780,
600 postoffice buildings for the inland
cities but they have no time to waste on
a small appropriation for a lighthouse or
life saving station to save the lives Of
their fellow men. A stick full Of type
would be sufficient in which to sum up
the great things accomplished by them
since they went to the national capital,
and to which the Republican orators will
no doubt "point with pride" in the COM
ing election.
Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1892-03-17

The proposition suggested by Lieuten-
ant George d. Allen OF holding the an
nual encampment of the state militia at
Peterson's Point (Westport beach) is a
most excellent one, and if accepted by
the military authorities, will result bene-
ficially not only to the Point but to the
whole harbor, as the assemblage of such
body of men will induce many excur-
sions from the Sound, and the people
who come cannot but be pleased with our
section of the country. Fast OF the noun
tains the members of the militia have
few opportunities to enjoy the sea breezes
and bathing, and the close proximity Of
the camp to the seashore will be an added
inducement for them to attend this year.
This is the nearest and most accessible
ocean beach to the inland cities of the
state, and once known it will soon be-
come the most popular summer resort
BY all means let us secure the epcamp-
ment.

cnAYs HARBoH CENTENNIAL.

The proposed celebration on May Z, Of
the centennial OF the discovery of Grays
harbor is meeting with much favor from
the people ofthe Harbor, particularly at
Ocosta and Aberdeen. The Ocosta board
of trade has appointed committees to
make arrangements for that town, and
the chamber of commerce of this city
proposes taking action on the matter this
evening.
The importance of this celebration has
attracted the attention OF the State His
torical society, and at meeting OF the
curators of the society held last Saturday
the question of commemorating the CEN
tennial Of the discovery Of Grays harbor
by Captain Robert Gray, May 7, 1892, at
some point thereon, was presented by
Curator Higgins, and the following reso-
lutions were adopted:
"Resoised, That the State Historical
society regards these early discoveries
which secured to us the grand domain
within our state, as historical events
which should be commemorated by our
people, and the incidents connected
Herewith recorded and preserved in its
archives.
Resol0sl, That the State Historical So
ciety take steps to secure an appropriate
centennial celebration of the discovery Of
Grays harbor and the great country adj
jacent thereto at such point thereon as
may be deemed desirable, and that the
people of the state be invited, to join
therein. t
Res0ioed. That Curators Edward Hug
gins, of Tacoma, G. M. Barton, OF Olym-
pia, and Captain w. p. Gray, of Pasco-
defendant of the famous navigator and
discoverer-be and are hereby appointed
committee of arrangements on the
part of the State Historical society; and
that the secretary is directed to officially
convey to the towns of Gravs harbor the
action of this society and request their
cooperation; and also under the direc.
ton of the said committee OF arrange
ments, publish call for such centennial
celebration on the 18th day of May, 1892
at such point on Grays harbor as the com
mittee of arrangements may designate
and otherwise aid the committee as il
may direct"
