Lake, who recently completed an cleo
tr:cal machine designed to save quick
silver and all other free metals i'll tail
jngs, which he is now giving a thorough
trial on tailings coming direct from the
Ontario mill. is proving that The COM
rany is losing much more than a small
percentage OF several metals, for the ma
chine is catching it right along in con-
siderable quantity, and demonstrating
that his invention will do all he claims
for it, at least so far as saving quicksil-
Yer is concerned
The machine is of sixty tons capacity,
and once in opera ton will almost take
care of itself, the main labor being in pro-
V1d1ng 1t with material to concentrate. 1t
is a small upright affair, constructed out
results, 200 volts OF electricity. though
small in size, ii is numerous in parts,
containing sixty-five matchmaking
plates and each plate breaks the volume
of tailings that passes through it four
times, thus thoroughly bringing 1t in con-
tact with the siXty-five poles, all OF which
are covered with quicksilver taken from
taillngS. The metal cauSht by the plates
is dropped into a settler III the bottom of
the machine, and thence finds its way
into a large settling tank. In case the
tailngs being worked do not carry iner-
curry, it is necessary to remove the
plates, which is easily done, and charge
them with quicksilver. OF course the
present test is incomplete, as there Is ne
means of knowing what the talEnSS VIII
assay before passing through the ma
chine hence the percentage saved cannot
be readily estimated. but Mr.. Timer
hopes to give it a test on Ontario tall
ings direct before leaving Park city.
He is accompanied by Messrs. John f.
HarGie and John Edwards, of Salt Lake,
both of whom are greatly interested in
the results obtained. If satisfactory each
will utilize the invention on valuable gold
dumps in California, the particular pur-
pose for which the invention was de-
signed.
A New Company.
The visit of I.ucien Simon. of Alameda,
Cal, to Park City is of far more I'M
portance than was at first supposed, as
his mission was to SecuDs an opuon on
the ground owned by Peter kraIler, ~
ing northeast of Ontario Ne. shaft and
adjoining the Munadore, lot 16l. owned ny
Mr.. Simon, and the inauguration of de
velopment work upon the group. Inc
option was procured the latter part OF
last week, when deeds were placed in
escrow, and work will be commenced IN
three weeks under the management of
Patrick Ryan, the we'll known mining
man of Salt Lake In future the property
will be known and developed as the Mum
adore group and bids fair to become one
of the we'll known groups of the camp.
The company behind the enterprise is
composed of California men of means
and once work is started there will be no
interruption until the vein is cut and the
property proved up. The enterprise Will
attract much attention, as the ground is
most favorably located and is known 20
contain the Ontario vein, ard the opera
tons of the new company, which is a
strong one will be watched with interest
by the old timers in this, the greatest

Camp Crosscuts.
Work in the Constellation shaft is pro-
crossing nicely and the hole is approach
ing the $50 level.
The Anchor c0ncentrator was closed
down Sunday last to alloy the making OF
slight repairs. The mtlAstarted up Mon
day morning, but only 1fe shift is work
ing.
ing the Anchor shaft below the 1.4OO Level
was commenced, and will he steadlly
prosecuted from. now on until the ore
bodies below are opened up IN good
shape There is no doubt but that the
Anchor is sinking into n large BODY OF
rich ore and the present extension OF
the shaft will prove it.
The contract for hauling suppnes 10
yet been let, and will not be until the
output of the property. which promises
TO be not only heavy but rIch. Is col-
tracted for. Readers of the Record may
expect an important Item concerning lills
mine in the near future.
The foundation for the paly-West con-
centrator, which was constructed under
the foremanship of P. Fl. Watson, was
completed Wednesday night and IS now
ready for the frame work. which is beng
rushed as rapidly as possible by strong
force of carpenters 1t is expected tEat
the structure will be enclosed within the
next month.
Robert Brogelmann. who returned Iues-
day morning from Idaho. where he IS
mining in company with The Lake broth
ers and George Hicks. reports that me
dav before he left for home a large BODY
of high grade ore was uncovered in 1.-The the
works. and gives every promise OF belng
permanent The company sold a car or
ore in Salt Lake last week. that netted
it s37 per ton. Mr.. Broglemann was ac-
companied home by Frank Lake, who
was summoned nome on account. Of the
dangerous illness of one of his children.
MIR. Lake will return next week.
Matters at the Lucky Bill are looking
very favorable; in fact, ore has been en-
countered in the shaft that ASSAYS fairly
well in both silver and gold. The vein
is several feet wide, and composed OF a
fine looking quartz resembling that in
the Daly mine to startling degree, and
those in charge are satisfied that reason
able depth will show paA- ore in large
quantities.
