a Shipment of High Grade Ore Also
Being Made From the Mine.

superintendent Frank Hines, of the
Northern Light came in from Lion
hiI Sunday night with another con-
slgnment of cyanides from the North
ern Light mill, amounting TO about $50
pounds, and Mr.. Hines states that this
lot is,richer than any previous consign-
ment, and in quantity is also greater
MI Hines also states thar he has
made arrangements for the shipment of
carload of high grade ore from the
recent strike in the Tollman tunnel.
and that the last of the lot was hauled
down to the depot yesterday.
This ore carries average values of
about 80 per cent lead, 800 ounces silver
and from S. to $40 in gold to the ton.
On account of the bad air encountered
in following this new strike its active
development has been retarded of late,
but the chute promises to open out into
an Independent body of high grade
mineral, and the vein is steadily in
creasing in size with every foot gained
in its development. In the face of the
drift the chute of high grade rock,
similar to the ore embracing the ship
ment now being made, is a foot in
width, while in the same vein there is
from four to five feet of good milling
ore.
Mr.. Hines reports that the new
building for the increased tankage ca
pacity of the mill is now nearly COM
pleted and that it will not be very long
now before the tanks will be ready for
use, which Will enable the company to
treat about 200 tons of ore daily. In
the treatment the extraction is very
high, and in the tailings it is difficult
to find more than ten or twenty cents
in the yellow metal to the ton, while
the saving of silver is also very salts
factory, but its recovery necessarily
takes more time than the saving of the
gold, which could be taken out after a
leach of Sc hours
When the tanks are all in place and
regular ore from the mammoth bodies
of mineral exposed in the mine are
broken down for treatment, it is be-
lieved the output will be most graft
flying to the company. and that regular
dividends Will be in order by Sep
TENDER.
The developments now in progress on
the Little Pittsburg are under the direc
ton of Mr.. Hines. who states that the
shaft being sunk on the gold vein is
now down at a depth of GO feet, the
bottom being in a large body of very
fine looking mineral, while in the tun
mel that is being run to cut the silver
vein at a vertical depth of $50 to LA
feet it is expected connections will be
made sometime next week.

TEA FARMING.
Report of an Expert to Secretary
Wilson.

Washington, July 5.-Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson has received a re-
port from a veteran horticulturlst,
whom he sent recently to investigate
the tea-farming industry carried on at
Summersville, 5. c., with a view TO
ascertaining the prospect of profitable
growth of the tea plant in this coun-
try.
The report says the labor question
is the most important one in the econ
omics of this business in this country.
1t estimates the minimum cost to pick
one pound of tea in South Carolina. at
about eight times as much as that paid
for the same service in Asia In dis
tricts favored with sufficient heat and
rains. plants furnish from Is to 20
piokings yearly. In the South Caro-
lima fields, the conservation of moisture
by draining is enhanced by systematic
surface culture.
The report suggests that 1t seemed
impracticable to compete with the
cheap Oriental labor, and while some
of the processes of development has
been left To machinery. the picking of
leaves, which requires discrimination in
selecting. has to be done by hand. but
the problem has been met by establish
ing a small colOred school where tea
picking is included.
Seeds have been imported from all
tea regions, especially from high alti-
tudes. A vegetation of One-third of the
seeds is a general average, and the loss
of a whole Importation is no novelty.
With careful pruning, plants here
should maintain their pristine vigor for
40 years, but pruning is a costly ma
nipulatiOn.

This book is based on a series of

PARK RECORD JoTT1NGs.
No Rich Strikes in the Daily as Err
roneously Reported.

The Record called up Foreman Quinn
of the DAILY mine last evening and
asked him if there was any truth in
the report that a strike other than that

THE DE LAMAR CAvE-IN
Providential Escape of the Men at
Work in This Property.

II was rumored on the streets yes
terday afternoon that another cave-in
! had occurred in the De Lamar. at De
Lamar, New, from the 700 level up to
! the surface. but as the reports lack
/ confirmation. il is believed that they
/ originated nom the accounts in circG-
/ lation regarding the cave-in that took
/ place at this property a short time age,
I during which the mine collapsed from
the 500 to the 200 levels. and stra nge to
say, not a man was injured; and now
it is believed that the casualty was d
benefit instead of an injury, as an inn
mense amount of ore came down with
the mass. leaving the walls clear. and
this can be taken out to advantage and
with but little expense.
The greatest scarcity at the De
Lamar is in mining timbers and il is
almost impossible 10 secure these in
sufficient quantities to supply the re-
quirements of the mine, and the work
in its development and operation is Of
ten in advance of the timber work.
This was the case at the time of the
cave-in mentioned above, and round
timbers had 10 be utilized. On the day
in question. the superintendent at the
mine noticed that the timbering was
beginning to give way, and he was
somewhat alarmed for the safety of the
men and decided to make a thorough
investigation before the day shift of
60 men went on. AT the usual time.
the night shift of 20 men quit work and
went out on the tunnel level on the
zoo. They were scarcely out. and the
watchman was just closing the en-
trance to the tunnel when the cave-iu
occurred. and the force of air was so
great as it came out of the tunnel that
it carried the man off his feet and
landed him a distance of 80 feet or
more from the mouth of the opening.
The crash was fearful and huge
timbers were broken. twisted and
ground up to tooth1icks, but fortunate
" no one was injured with the eXcep-
ton of the Waterman, who was bruised
somewhat by the force of the strong
air current accompanying the caye-in.
The fact that the air in the mine was
forced out on the 700 probably gave
rise to the rumOr that the mine had
caved in down TO this level, as would
naturally be supposed by the uninitiat-
ed.
The report that the mill was not in
good working order is also as unreli-
able as is the first report. as it is
known that the plant is in splendid or
der and is running in a satisfactory
manner on ore obtained from the lower
levels of the mine.
Ii is expected that Captain ]. r. De
Lamar. the owner of this magnificent
property and also of the Golden Gate,
at Mercur. will arrive in Salt Lake
within the next few days. and The
Herald is authoritatively informed
that it is the intention to build mill
for the Golden Gate as fast as money
and muscle can bring about this de-
sirable end. and with these at work,
wonders can be accomplished in Won
derfully short time.
A gentleman who is in close touch
with the big mine owners of Mercur
states most emphatically that Mercur
is all right and that the camp has a
brilliant future in store for it.
