g CAPACITY would be considered sub
n stantial addition to the camp. The
q Steeple Rock company consider it a.
h merely an experimental machine witt
which.tO ascertain the best and mos
:, economical method Of working the
f ores of the camp. There are ter
= stamps. each weighing $50 pounds
3 with a drop of fourteen inches, which
reduces the ore so it will go through d
, forty mesh screen. 1t is put through
a Huntin gton rolls that reduce it so il
will pass through a sixty mesh screen
1t is amalgamated and concentrated
, 1t passes through sizers, pans and SET
it is carefully sampled and assayed.
By this meaus it can be ascertained
Just what process is needed to secure
. the best results from the ore, If a
grain of gold is found in ton of the
tailings new ways of working the ore
, will be tried until every particle of the
gold is extracted. When the proper
way of treating the ore is ascertained
then large works will be erected ard
hundreds of tons will be treated daily.
The company has enough ore in sight
to keep large mill running fo- years
and more ore is being exposed every
day.-Lordsburg Liberal.
Superintendent Randolph has pur-
chased az interest in a newly discover
ed gold mine in the s. H. mou tai
near Yuma. There is an eight foot
hole on the property, and there is said
to be an enormous showing of free gold
in sight. The Yuma Sentinel says that
one of Mr.. Randplph's partners have
gone to Los Angeles to buy mill The
Sentinel does not tell what kind Of
mill they are going to buy. Some little
interest is being expressed regarding
that mill. Some think it will be a
stamp mill, others that it will be a
cyanide mill. An old prospector says
that the bet kind of mill for an eight
foot mine is a mortar, pestle and a
big horn spoon.-Liberal.
Pinos Altos will probably have the
| finest display of ores, from any single
mining camp, at the Nashville eXpOsi-

an active interest in the matter and On
Saturday a large shipment of ore was
made. Be & Stephens sent some eA-
ceptionally fine sam piles from the Pa
citic and other mines owned by the firm.
Some of the pieces weighed hundreds
of pounds and were as large as could be
conveniently handled. These large
samples clearly demonstrate that they
are not simply specimens, but show a
large body of ore from whence they
came.
