fame-an this bearing directly upon
the sale of the mine. There is a good
road to the mine. The elevation is
TO- 500 feet, while the mill, bullion, as
say and boarding houses are 500 feet
lower.
The work as now being prosecuted,
consists in driving along in solid ore,
and cross cutting in places to show
the width of vein matter.
At the present time the snow is so
deep that it is well nigh impossible to
get up to the mine, as a conveyance
must be abandoned on the last mile,
and the traveller compelled to push on
over the drifts that give to him lag
ging steps and a heightened CD opin-
ion of pleasures attendant upon trips
into a mining country. If at such
times the newspaper mans benumbed
jaws relax sufficient to breathe forth
anathemds upon the wintry waste, 1t
is but in keeping with the surround
ings and aptly illustrative Of suffering
humanity
Charles Lammersdorf is rated by the
writer as a noble, July Dutchman'
and an experienced mining man whom
1t is a pleasure to meet and hold con-
versation with. He has been in Utah
twenty-five years, and was one of the
first to enter the Tintic and Frisco
mining districts. Here be it said that
all legitimate callers at the Sewer mine
will be given royal treatment and
fed on the fat of the land.
SEWER ORE TESTS.
Mr.. Ramsden has made all the pre-
liminary tests on the Sewer ore, and
is now at work on the commercial test,
for which he has had brought out to
the mine a set of rolls, pulverizer,
screens for sizing, three tanks for leach
ing, zinc box for precipitation, and all
else pertaining to making a complete
commercial test. At the end of the
week it will be running.
Something new and of great import
to all using the cyanide process is
and when accomplished means great
deal. Saving by cyanization is not
complete-there will be other methods
come after, such as amalgamation, but
after the process of cyanization has
been invoked in order to catch the
rusty gold.
Explaining this in brief to the writer.
Mr.. Ramsden said: Where the par
ticles are so finely divided that fine
crushing is necessary in order to pre-
sent the values to the attack Of the
cyanide solution, shines are produced
to such an extent that percolation
ceases. 1t is therefore necessary to re-
move those shines so that the tailings
can be turned out with low per cent
of moisture. 1 now propose to take
those shines out by an exhaust fan,
or blow pipe, and then treat them by
a continuous teaching cylinder and
slime separator, the failing of which
will not carry more than from to s
per cent moisture; then wash and
separate again. This will be on the
market as soon as a patent is OBJ
tanned. When this is accomplished it

THE MAMMOTH GROUP.
The Mammoth group joins the Brock
enridge on the south, and shows some
gold ore that will yet make for the
property record among the producers.
Jim Long has purchased it, and will
push development work as soon as
the snow leaves the mountains.
There are other mills in the district
aside from the Sewer. The Annie
Laurie has a mill one mile northeast
of the Sewer, and the Butler mill is
three miles northeast. All about there
the properties show a formation bord-
and claimants are strong in the belief
that development will disclose a con-
tinuation of results-such as have been
already obtained by more extensive
workings.
THE GOLDEN QUEEN.
The Golden Queen, owned by H W.
Ramlose, George T. Bean and j. c.
Peters, all of Richfield, lies between the
Butler-Beck and the SEWER There is
a tunnel in 60 feet. One of the lodges
is twelve feet wide, and runs from So
to $11 in gold, while there is one small
There is no work being done on the
property at present, but operations will
be resumed by June l.
In with the Golden Queen are two
more claims, the Handicap and the
Golden Eagle. There has been no work
done on the latter, while on the Handi-
cap but little more than the assess
ment work has been djone.
DESERET MINING COMPANY.
The Deseret Mining and Milling
company have done some work on that
property. A tunnel has. been run in
800 or 700 feet, and a ledge has been
uncovered for 100 yards that carries
low grade gold
The Grasshopper lies between the
Golden Queen and the Sewer, and some
ore has been taken out that runs up
in the hundreds. A tunnel has been
driven in 100 feet, and the vein has not
yet been cut, though some free gold
has already been shown in the work.
