lures of this city another year. Our
reunion brings great many old coffee
coolers here permanently and they

The Treasure Vault Bonded.

Pittsburgh parties, interested in the
Trade Dollar mines, have taken bond
from the owners, Messrs. Wells, Miller
& McGarry, for the purchase of the
Treasure Vault mine. This prop
erty is located on the west side of
DeLamar mountain and is considered
one of the most promising properties on
the west side of the great DeLamar belt,
showing large vein of quartz mixed
with white, decomposed tale. Assays
from the vein have averaged higher
than from any other mine on the belt
at the same depth. The owners, for
want of capital, have been unable to
develop it to any considerable depth, ,on
account of water. The bond given was
in consideration of an advance pay
ment of 1000; an agreement to begin
work on the mine at once, and to make
monthly payments during the life of
the bond. The amount to be paid has
not been made public. The bond eK-
pires December 31st.

Improvements in Smelling.

The following, from the Mining Indus
try, suggests the idea that camp that
produced as we'll as South Mountain did
in 1874-75, with the comparatively crude
methods of smelling ores then in use,
should at the present time, with the
vastly better facilities, be great bull
lion producer. In the earlier days the
expense of handling ores in this section
was something enormous. Freight had
to be hauled on wagons from Winnie
mucca, on the Central Pacific railway, a
distance of two hundred and ten miles,
and the bullion was shipped in the same
manner; everything Commanded exor-
bitant prices, and mines were handled
as stock speculation. Notwithstand-
ing all the drawbacks South Mountain
produced large amount of money and
was lively camp until the fall of 1875,
when the crash came and it,in common
with other camps in this section, went
to the wall and since which time but
very little work has been done there.
If the Stag piles in other localities will
pay for re-workiDg, with the new pro-
cesses, why not the mines of South
Mountain The Industry says:
"The improvements In smelling which
have been made during late years, are
well illustrated by the work now being
done in smelling the Stag piles which
accumulated some years ago. The Hol-
den smeter at Leadville was built to
smelt old slags, and it is running sue
cessfully. Mr.. Holden says there are
5000, 600 tons there that will pay to
smelt. Mr.. w. H. Harding has bseu
making successful runs on the Stag piles
of the old Aspin smelter, and has start
ed up the Golden smelter on the Stag
pile. Each of these concerns must buy
the necessary lead ore in the public
market, and this makes market for
that class of ore which did not exist a
few weeks ago. 1t also to considera-
BILE extent accounts for the scarcity of
lead ore.n
