MINERAL HILL DISTRICT.

That Is Rapidly Coming to
the Front
The MaoArthur-F Forrest Process as
It Is Illustrated at the
Revenue Mine.
Rlch Strike in the Benton Group-Gsod
Find In tho Paragon-Models Of
Mines Wanted.

The Garnet Mining company WINS seven
teen claims in the Boulder range, three
miles from Pony, in Madison county. In
the Mineral Hill district. says the Pony
Monitor. Besides, 1t owns one mill site and
four placer claims. Both the mill site and
placer grounds are supplied with abundance
of water the year round from a living
stream, flowing from the mountains and
eulches above, affording, i'll ordinary sea-
sons, power suticient to drive q twenty
stamp mill, besides what would be required
in an ordinary reduction works.
Up to the present time most Of the deyel-
opment work has been confined to the
Galena claim. -Four well-defined gold
veins are known TO exist in this
claim, viz: The Chispa, Sylvia, Galena
and Inca veins. The Chispa is a
we'll defined three-foot vein. from which
assays of $64 in gold have been obtained.
The SYLVIA vein carries from ten to twenty
inches of ore, from which assays of $44
gold and $1s5.50 gold and silver per ton
have been obtained. The development on
this vein consists of a tunnel elghty-tw
feet in length. A crosscut ls being run
from the Galena vein, which will enter the
Sylvia at a vertical depth Of 125 feet. The
Galena vein is developed BY a crosscnt and
drift on the vein which aggregates $40 feet
in length. AneTosssccut tunnel to tap the
Galena vein at 4 vertical depth Of nearly
500 feet has been driven 553 feet, this tunnel
Il 100 feet from the vein. The rock il SO
hard that it has been found advisable to
put up ~ air COMPRISING plant consisting
Of 1 Rand compressor. portable boiler ana
one Rand slugger drill. All of this ma
chinery is purchased and foundations
graded for it.
While doing development work in 1890.
this company shipped 200 tons of high
grade ore, yielding net returns Of 5000.
There is now, with the present develop
ments in the mine. over $4,000 tons Of ore
in sight averaging $25 per ton, without
estimating anything below the present tnn-
mel level, besides some 1000 tons Of ore on
the dump worth about SIS per ton. As
soon as the c~rosscnt unnel to tap the Ga
lena vein is completed this company pro-
poses to erect q concentrating plant OF a
capacity of 100 tons per day, IN close rrox-
unity to this mine.

THE CYANIDE PROCESS.
As 1t Is Operated at the Revenue Nin'
G in Madison County. Wy

As 1t Is Operated at the Revenue Mine
in Madison County.
A representative of the Pony Monitor
recently visited the Revenue mine. whore
the MacArthur-Forrest process is used. In
describing it the writer says cyanide Of
potassium is employed in the form Of q
weak solution (from one to our pounds per
ton. depending upon the character Of the
ore) to dissolve she gold. Upon the ore
entering the mill it is crushed to forty
meash; then it is placed in large watts, hold
ing ten tons each, with this weak solution
of cyanide. After having lain for twenty
hours the solution is drawn off from the
pulp-now waste-Rnd the waste is washed.
The solution and wash water. which now
contains the gold, are passed through a
trough containing zinc shaving. where the
gold is precipitated and cleaned up, being
then ready to go to the laboratory to be
run into bars. The solution is caught III
tanks after passing through the zinc aud
pumped to a tan situated above the watts.
where it is brought up to the required
strength and used over again.
This company has 200 tons of the tailings
of their old stamp mill, of which all the
free milling gold had been extracted by
the copper plates. and according to the
record which they keep of every pound of
ore that passes through the mill they wero
enabled to save by this process over 70 per
cent. These tailings assayed from So to
$1,000 per ton. On Tuesday this company
made a clean up of a run OF ore from their
mine on which they saved 81 per cent.
This is the same ore that by the old pro-
cess of stamping and a~malgamating they
were able to save only q per cent.
The cost of milling by this process de-
ponds q great deal upon the ore, some ores
taking q stronger solution OF cyanide to
dissolve the gold than others. 1t cost less
than SIS per ton to run their quartz, which
includes a royalty of 81 per ton that they
pay for the privilege of using the process.
The positive success of this process has
created considerable excitement in mining
circles and the managementof the Revenue
are constantly besiesed by parties in quest
of information relative to it.

Rich Strike in the Paragon-The Benton
.E=. Group.
It was reported Saturday that a rich
strike had been made in the Paragon, and
a visit to that mine Sunday showed that
the facts were not at all exaggerated, says
the Belt Mountain Miner. The Paragon
was formerly worked by Downs d Allen,
and they sank a shaft about 125 feet and
run two levels from the bottom. But for
some reason they failed to crosscut on the
formation. The present COMPANY, not hay
ing the hoist in running shape, decided to
orosscut ut about seventy five feet, and
were rewarded utter drifting about ten feat
by en%counterinR a vein of soft carbonate
about four feet thick and d streak of galena
about five inches thick, the latter lying on
the footwall. There are about forty tons in
the ore house at present, and they are TAX
Ing out about two tons per shift.
A very fine showing is made in a mining
claim located about ono mile below Hoover
creek, on Belt creek, says the Nelhart
Miner. The owners are Matthew McIlveen
and +. Birmingham. They have located
five claims and have sunk a shaft thirty
feet deep on the vein. Ore has been found
throughout the entire depth. On account
of water work had to be suspended. They
immediately commenced work OF q TUNE
at the base Of the claim in order to tap the
shaft and drain eff the water. They are
now in about 100 feet and have thirty feet
more to go before they will be under the
shaft.
Float on these claims has been found to
assay as high as 171I ounces in silver, with
Il trace of gold and copper.
The Narrow Gauge tunnel is in sixty feet
and work ia being rushed rapidly. Tom
Keller, Robert Mowbray and Milt
Carothers. the owners, are doing the work.
The TUNE is in granite. crosscutting tbs
country, and it is probably 14O feet more tc
where they expect to find the lead. Til
ore taken from the upper workings ~assayed
$150 to $500 i'll silver and Sl2 in gold. It ia
a sulphide ore similar to that found in tn.
Drum-Iummon and very different from
most ores ound In this camp.
The most wonderful strike of the season
was made this week i'll the Benton. TIL
lower level of the Blue Cloud lode is ovel
800 feet below the surface. In drifting OF
the lead the drills ran on to a body of or
eight inches wild which assays over 200
ounces. 1t is a wonderful strike and mean
many thousand dollars in ths treasury O
the company. Its being found at the pres
ent depth is one of it's best indications
The main lead had been crosscut to bot
walls and is found to DO sixty-tive feet wild
Of twenty-five ounce milling ore. '-.-

win Not Remove the Mill.

On the authority of Mr.. Bielenberg. who
is largely interested in the Champion mine
and mill in Deer Lodge county, it is stated
that the Champion mill will not be removed
from Deer Lodge to the mine. which move
was in contemplation BY the directors a
short time ago. The gentleman says the
mill will remain where it is, and when the
price of silver will warrant it another mill
Of greater capacity will be erected at the
mine. The property ID nov closed down
and will not be started up again until such
time as a better price for the white metal
can be obtained. Mr.. BielenberR has been
working the Emery. located in the same
vicinity. but q few days ago he laid of
nearly all the men on account of the down
ward tendency Of silver.

Our German friend who spends his days.
nights, weeks, m )nths and years in the hospital
nursing rheumatic leg, has come into possession
of an interesting pet-a young English sparrow,
which one of the boys picked up in the yard In
two weeks that bird has grown from a little
wabbly, fuzzy squad to full. fedged sparrow with
appetite equal to a turkey buzzard's.
Mr.. Richards. the mechanical expert who has
been at work for several months inventng and
constructing gas traction engine. has succeeded
in constructing a machine which promises to
crowd the steam traction engine out of the field.
The machine is so far advanced that running tests
have been made which were very satisfactory. 1t
would take a mechanical expert to describe the
machine. but the way of operating it is very sim.
pie. All one has to do is to open a valve to the
cylinder. hold lighted match to the vent, close
the valve, and the machine does the rest. The
volatilized oil or gas. continues to burn in the
cylinder as long the engine is kept running. but
is extiDguished by the stoppage OF the engine.
We are to have dining room. The Board of
Managers at their meeting last Thursday decided
to move the hospital department to the upper
story of the solitary. and to the present quar-
tiers for dining ROOM The work of preparing
the new hospital is already begun The large cells
will be used as bed rooms. and while they lot
just what could be wished for they will be light
and comfortable when fixed up. Each of the cells
has two windows and high ceiling. the VENT.
lation will be good There is plenty Of hall room
for exercising. 1t will be two months. perhaps.
before the dining room be made ready for use.
1t is convenient to the kitchen. and all that is
necessary to connect them is an elevator. To
take meals in a dining room will be much more
agreeable than taking them in the cells. besides
there will be great saving of food. AS it is now
the same amount of food is issued to each man.
but some eat less than others, consequently a
good portion of the food served goes to the swill
barrel.

of mental vacuity, is one of the saddest of the
neurology of the year. The Field family is one of

made good impressions upon their age and gener.
alton. in the pulpit, at the bar and in the benef-
cent use of capital. Cyrus Fields master work
was his persistent and finally successful effort to
secure cable connection between the old and new
worlds. He led the way, after enormous expen-
dture of capital. and to-day the cables thickly
laid over the bottom of the Atlantic. the Pacific
the Mediterranean and wherever there impor.

spirited has Cyrus w. Field been. And 1t seems
extremely sad that his closing days were shad.

sharper than a serpent's TOOTH which brought
Mr.. Field to his death bed.-Minneapolis Journal.
