MINING NOTES.

Inc Ilntie Miner says a cheap
method of ore reduction would quad
ripple the output of that camp.
The Bullion Beck has struck vein
bearing 80 ounces of silver and So in
gold in ground supposed to be barren.
1t started the mine up again.
On exhibition in Pangwitch, from
the Coyote mines in southern Utah, is
large chunk of antimony which
Alchemist Brice says goes $4,000 in
| gold when treated.
The old snow-eapped camp OF Alta,
whose honanzas formerly enriched the
owners, is showing increased activity
and many old-timers hope to see it
again become one of utah's prosperous
camps.
San Francisco is raising funds for a
mid-winter mining fair. All the trade
organizations are interested The de-
sign is to have ores on exebition from
all sections of California, with MAJ
chinery and appliances for handling it.
The flow of water which has settle d
down to about 10000 gallons day at
the Gladstone at Mercur, is still excit-
ing much interest among the owners
OF ground at Mercur, who hope for
cheaper water when the Gladstone
company gets its supply on tap.
II. E. Winslow, superintendent or
the Colorado & Idaho Mining & Mill
ing company, owning property at
Centerville, Ida, reports he has open
ed up at depth of 1875 feet o foot
ore body that averages $3.50 in gold to
the ton, 3inch streak averaging $3.50
in gold Der ton.
The mining fraternity is beginning to
awaken to the fact that in and around
Osceola, New, there are many mining
properties lying idle awaiting the
helping hand ola little capital to bring
them into the foremost ranks as bull
lion-producers. Such is the opinion of
the White Pine News.
At the West Culusa and Leonard
shafts of the Boston and Montana at
Butte, preparations are being made for
an air compressor which will be the
largest in the west. Its capacity will
be $500 cubic feet of air per minute. or
sufficient 20 keep in constant operation
sixtyfve drilling machines.
Patrick Clark of Butte has closed a
deal for the purchase of big milling
plant to treat Republic ores, which
will add to the output of that property.
The process to be used will be what is
known as the Pelatin-Clerici process.
similar to that now in operation at De
La Mar Ida. 1t is a combination of
cyanide and electricity, and is said to
be very successful.
The subcommittee appointed at the
recent mining congress to prepare a
revision Of the mining laws has com
pleted its labors and a provisional re-
port has been transmitted to the full
committee, which will in turn consider
the resolutions and suggestions Of Mr..
Charles }. Moore, civil mining engineer
of Cripple Creek, although in drafting
it he followed the instructions of the
committee. The revised law does
away with ali extra-lateral rights.
holding owners to a squire location and
preventing miners from following the
dip of the vein outside of their prop
erty. Altogether the revision contains
many radical propositions. f. M. Ly-
man represented Utah on the commit

steam dredge will be introduced
in Boise basin next year, aud gravel
that cannot be reached by ordinary
methods made to give up its golden
contents. For many years Boise basin
has supplied those who sought its
sands with bread money in abundance,
while not few have taken out for
tunes The miner who has worked by
hand has taken out from So TO $50 per
day, the proceeds of his energy being
determined by the character of the
gravel. ana then came the era of
giants These were effectively em-
ployed until the water level was reach
ed, and although much gold has been
taken out above that horizon. the pre-
caution is frequently INDUCED in that
as much if not greater amount of
gold will be found below it.
Max Sohr, who is frequently mem
toned in connection with mountains
of mineral paints in Utah. has begun
shipping anthony to Alchemist Brice
of Chicago, who proposes to manufac-
ture gold and flood the world with it.
BY contract, three cars a week are to
be furnished, and already about fifty
tons have been filed out of Marys-
vale, Utah. Mr.. Sohr has tied up va
rious other deposits in Utah, and will
be able to supply the plant at its pres
ent capacity.
A new mining boom is on at White
Rock, New. In the placer workings
several specimens of native gold and
quartz have been found which bear no
evidence of having been carried far
This has caused preparations for
more thorogh and systematic develop
ment of the lode claims which are sup-
posed to have fed the plaeers, for it is
