THE GREAT ALICE MINE.
Shipments of Gold and Silver Bullion
to San Francisco.

O11pm6nCS OF OO1O ana silver Bullion

Regarding the great Alice mine, at
N'alkerville Mont, which is principally
OWNED by Salt Lakers, the Butte Miner
says:
The Alice Gold and Silver Mining
company Of Walkervi:le made a ship
ment Of 10 bars of gold-silVer bullion
yesterday to the refinery at San Fran
cisco. These shipments are made about
every two weeks, and the output the
same as usual. The 60-stamp mill of

ChaTta ana other mines being operated
under the mana cement of Thomas W
BuZzO, and the company is one OF the
very Few silver corporations so adVan-
tageOusly managed that dividends can
be paid right along, even though silver
is not il great demand at the present
time. From the Alice which is one of
the oldest and deepest mines in the
camp. ora IS being hoisted from The
l.001-foOt Level. The ore from the
Alice is almost entirely silver while

rich ground was recently opened up in
the Blue Wing mine, which is less rhan
zoe feet deen. One remarkably rich
piece Of ore from the Blue Wing has
been sent 10 Omaha as a part OF the
Montana mineral exhibit at the Inter
national Exposition, which opens in
that city next year.
The Alice mine is one of the most Ell
fectiYe and economical plants in The
west, and it is said can handle ore that
only carries y ounces Of silver and

A NEW GOLD SAVER.
Machine That Is In Successful Use
On the Snake River.


We have had the pleasure of exarnin-
ing the drawings of the gold-saving
machine invented by Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Cusic of Butte, mention of
which was previously made in these
columns, says the Western Mining
World. AS recently patented, the ma
chine differs slightly from our former
description of it, several improvements
having been added, the ground being
handled as follows: The earth and
gravel is washed into the sluice, as is
the case IN all placer workings. After
entering the sluice in this machine, the
matter runs over the perforated grizzly
With holes punched one-half inch apart,
which continues for the entire length
of the sluice. These holes are counter
scanned on the under side to allow all
particles to pass through three holes
3 10 of an inch. This grizzly carries
off all the coarse material, and allows
only the inner particles to go through.
All material passing through this griz-
ely falls yet on another grizzly plate
with holes 32-100 OF an inch wide,
which carries away the smaller gravel
to the end of the sluice, the same as the
one above The material passing
through this second grizzly consists Of
the black sand which carries with it
the fine gold contained therein. Under
this second grizzly are placed diverting
strips Vshaped which divert the sand
and gold to a sub-Sluice on either side of
the main sluice, and which runs on
down the full length of the main sluice.
About four feet apart is placed a rifle
containing half a pound of quicksilver
each. and so or down the Sluice until
1t enters the hopper of the machine
wherein is placed a system of silvered
plates over which the water runs, car
rying the black sand and gold into the
tank at the bottom of the hopper and
passing under a half disk. the lower
edge of which is submerged in quick
silver, causing all the material enter
ing the hopper above to pass over the
silvered plates and down into and
through the quicksilver, and thence
upwardWhen it is caught by a system of
elevation which are copper and are also
siivered, and discharged near the top
of the tank, where receptacles are
placed to catch the tailings, for the
purpose of assaying them from time
to time. in order to ascertain if there
is any values escaping. Mr.. Cusic has
just returned from the Snake river
placer fields, where a. machine is in
operation, much to the delight of the
old-time placer miners. A machine with
base plates of steel will be constructed
to keep the temperature of the quick
silver up as it works better when
warm than when cold. It looks as if

the Black Dragon. The drift from the
bottom of the 2OO-foot shaft on the
Eastern will be continued for about 20
feet further, at which point it is ex-
pected to tap the Turk vein and en-
counter some very good ore.
The initial shipment from the Picnic
was made this week. The consignment
consisted of a carload of high grade
silver-lead ore. 1t is now thought that
regular shipments from this claim viii

CONFIRMS THE HERALD.

The Salt Lake Herald created quite a
furore in local mining circles Tuesday
by publishing an outline of a big con-
solidated mining deal in Park City.
The Herald stated that the Crescent.
Alliance, Boss and possibly other prop
critics were being handled with a view
to throwing them all into one incorpor-
alton. The Record has had under
ground information for some time re-
lating to the scheme, but has followed
its usual custom of saving wood" in
order that private negotiations might
not be handicapped by the publicity
that its information would give should
it be published. The proposition. as it
comes by grapevine to the Record, is to
consolidate and incorporate in one COM
