RUSH FOR GOLD.
New District Above Terrace is
RapidIy Filling Up.

Jack Delaney came down yesterday
from the new gold district, about fiji
teen miles above Terrace in Box Elder,
county, where he and Del Wilson and
Tom Busby have been doing some
work for some time, and reports that
the country is rapidly filing up with
eager miners, attracted by the gold
finds which have been made there.
Wilson writes that he is coming down
very soon with about a ton of the ore,
and have a mill run made for the pur-
pose of testing the actual values. They
have four men at work on the property
at this time and may increase the force
soon.
The samples which have been sent
to this city have been taken from a
Vein which is twenty-five feet across
and looks something like a decayed
quartz. There is no trouble whatever
In getting colors by panning, and from
appearances the rock will run away up
although there have been no assays
made on hand samples, since the first
discoveries were made, the owners pre-
ferring to do a bit of development and
then have fair and impartial test
made Of the general result
Delaney says that plenty of Brigham
City parties are going INFO the section
and that every foot of the ground is
being taken as fast as the prospectors
can pile up monuments and drive
stakes. He believes that within a short
time there viii be a thriving camp in
that section. and that there viii be a
lot of money invested there. Up to
date the region has been comparatively
unknown. The discoveries of the gold
bearing rock were old men in the bust
ness, and none of them permitted in
formation to escape until they had sat
isfied themselves of the nature OF the
ore and had secured the location which
they desired.
Mr.. Busby was up there a short time
ago and as soon as Mr.. Wilson returns
will go back to the place and superin-
tend the workings for a time. The
former stated yesterday that all were
confident they had struck it and were
going to push the development as fast
as possible ere cold weather began.
so that work could be INDUCED in this
coming winter. A tunnel has been
started and is going right along, for
the ground is easily worked
The ore is the freest of free milling.
and there viii be but little labor in
the extraction Of the values.

there had been no Iawlessness To
night, however, the sheriff issued a

CYANIDE PROCESS.
Important Decision by the Austral-
ian Commissioner of Patents.

inn Commissioner of Patents.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
contains the following on the recent
decision of the Australian commits
sioner of patents, anent the cyanide
! process, which reads:
We are not aStonished at the Aus
! tralian refusal te amend the Macarthur
/ Forrest cyanide patent, owned by the
Australian Gold Recovery company,
/ limited The application came before
/ the commissioner of patents at Mel
/ bourne, for leave TO amend the specl-
fcation." The desired amendment is
TO insert the following words by way
of preamble to the claim: 1--WE do not
claim generally the use of solutions of
any strength, but (here follows the ex-
listing claim the process of obtaining
gold and silver from ores and other
compounds consisting in treating such
ores, or compounds, with a dilute solu-
ton containing cyanogen or a cyanide,
or other substances, or compound con-
tanning, or yielding. cyanogen substan-
TALLY as specified"
The argument taken by counsel for
the directors and sustained, was that
the desired amendment would make
the specification substantially different
from the invention claimed by the
specification as it now stands. The
counsel further submitted that the
amendment was TOO wide and indeff-
mite. no indication Of the strength of
the solution being given.
On this point with reference to the
evidence laid before the commissioner
by the McArthur-F Forrest people, he
states in his decision: Il do not think
with great respect for the opinions
of Professor Dewar and Mr.. Blackett-
that the amendment discloses any such
exact proportions as the mining COM
munity has right to expect in a claim
of this kind The verb to di-
lutte simply means to weaken. and on
the whole the proposed amendment is
to my mind wanting in certainty"
Turning to another aspect of the case
the commissioner quotes from a decis-
ion by Lord Westbury in house of
lords appear case. to the effect that it
was never intended that an amend
ment of a patent should convert a bad
specification into a good one
at seems to me-" says the commits
sioner, that the object of this present
application is to amend the specifica-
tion-not by correcting and explaining
what was known, but imperfectly stat
ed originally-but by introducing sub
seuuently acquired knowledge
and there is no doubt in my mind that
the amendment is the outcome of sub
sequently acquired knowledge
One important statement made by the
commissioner was: Il do not think
persons legitimately engaged in mining
pursuits should have a bad patent
hanging over them, and possibly de-
terring them from obtaining the full
advantage of their labors If these pat
enfees knew. ORIGINALLY what they now
desire by way of amendment they
either wilfully or inadvertently sup
pressed what they were bound TO dis
close :
Il have come to the conclusion that
it is my duty to refuse this applica-
tom

Notes.

American railways as a whole earn
ed more in the first six months of 1896
than in the corresponding period of
1895 or 1894, says the Railway Age. If
they had not their condition would
have been discouragig indeed, for both
the previous years were bad years, and
1894 was marked by tremendous fall
ing off in earnings from the totals of
several previous years. The fact that
there has been considerable improve
ment this year and that, too, in spite
of the depressing effect upon business
of campaign agitation, is some encour-
agement; and when the returns of net
earnings are in it will undoubtedly ap-
pear that most of the roads are rather
better off than they were last year or
the year before. At present, however.
the number of lines which have re-
ported either gross or net earnings is
not sufficiently large for a. very posi-
tive statement as to the comparative
results for the railways as G, whole. In
a table in this issue the gross earnings
for the six months from January l to
June 80 are given for 100 roads, with
1858 miles of lines OF this total 9,903
miles belong to Canadian roads and
1887 miles to Mexican roads, leaving
for roads in the United States only
I,9GS miles, or about "A per cent of
the entire mileage of the country But,
although many great systems are thus
far lacking the list is fairly representa-
tive, particularly of the western and
southern roads, and gives an interest
ing basis for comparisons.
The 120 roads enumerated show earn
ings for the six months of 1921, 643, 600,
an increase of SIS, 26S, eco, or about 65b
per cent OF the whole number GS
roads show gains, many of them very
large, while 132 show losses compared
with last year, but in the majority of
cases the decrease is small There
were some heavy losses as well as
gains, as will be seen by the following
list of roads in which, as figured by
the Chronicle, the changes i'm amount of

AFTER RED OCHRE.
Denver Parties are Looking Into the
Deposits Up big Cottonwood.


At Mill b. in the sou6h fork of Bic
Cottonwood canyon, there are some very
heavy deposits of red ochre, which have
UP to this time been unworked. but ii
appears than an attempt will be made
to develop them right away. Denver
parties have become interested I'D there
and are now figuring with a well known
contractor Of this city for the construc-
ton of some tanks and other necessary
appliances for the saving of the ma
eeria1.
He stated yesterday that within the
next few days he would be able to
make a definite announcement as to
what would be done and would be
pleased to tell the public all about it.
1t appears from what he SAYS there
are deposits Of the stuff there of SUI
f1cient quantity to furnish paint enough
to dye all the western country. after
the election of Bryan, and that the
Colorado capitalists are quite eager and
anxious to at once enter in the work OF
production. Just how the material will
be handled cannot be stated at this
time. There are more ways than one
TO properly do the work. and the con-
tractor alluded to is making calcula-
lions on two or three different modes.
which. when completed will be sub
nlitted to those interested
II may be stated, however, that red
ochre is in good demand and that when
active operations begin there will be an
excellent market for the product.
Joseph Swenson, of this city, is inter
ested in the deposits.

reasons for resigning were purely bust

that several samples which were
shipped in yesterday would be assayed
for results.
The character of the rock is much
the same as in the Mercur mine and
the quantity is such that if the values
are anything like those of the other
mines OF the locality, there will be no
difficulty in making the property pay in
a very short time.
Severa. Mercur men, who inspected
the samples shown yesterday, We're q
unit in agreeing that there was every
reason for believing that the strike
would prove satisfactory, in the light
of the representations made by the in
terested parties. The force OF men en-
ployed are doing good work and the
mine is in good condition.

The mining float was an interesting
and appropriate feature of the Salt
Lake carnival pageant. 1t represented
a mining camp scene, with miners driv-
ing a tunnel into mountain, the
miners cabin and campfire near by,
portable forge at which drills were be-
ing shaTpened, and all the other Incl
dents typical of operations in new
camp. Those who designed the float
and carried the project into execution
are entitled to great credit.-Exchange

and the settlement of the strike is as
far away as ever.
The Central Labor union met to-
night to discuss the strike. After a
score of radical speeches had been
made it was decided by unanimous
vote to boycott every firm in CIeve-
land who furnished employment to
members of the state militia. A com
mlttee was also appointed to consider
the advisability of calling out all tbe
union men in the city in sympathy
with the Brown strikers.
