THE SALT LAKE HERALD: FRIDAY, AUGUST 20 1897

unearthed about half a mile from
Auburn. many years ago the county
seat OF Baker county, and which at one
time was headquarters for over 1900
miners.
Mr.. BIldner informed the reporter
that three Veins Of coal, respectively
two feet, Is inches and ten inches in
thickness, are now uncovered. although
it is not known how great is the ex-
tent OF this body of black diamonds"
The quality Of the coal is excellent.
Mr. Bildner is using the product for
fuel in his residence on west Washing
ton street, and he called in, as ex-
perts, several gentlemen who, after
watching the burning operation in his
cooking range, say the article is as
good as any they have ever seen used.
The lucky owners of this coal prop
ertY, which is but ten miles from
Baker City, are naturally highly elated
oyer their good fortune, and they will
at once commence operations to de-
velop the property by sinking q shaft
800 feet, If necessary. Every indication
is that the coal is in great quantities.
and If such is found to be the case by
the delVfng into the bosom of mother
earth. the possessors of these riches
and this city will be great gamers.
A splendid road half a mile long can
be constructed from the mine to All
burn at a very little expense, and the
down hill haul to Baker City is so easy
teaning that six horses can readily
bring four big wagon loads here at one
trip. If this mine proves to be as rich
as all indications now promise the pub
lie will soon hear some reliable and
astonishingly good news through the
columns of the Democrat.

The Northern Light.

RI. Colburn, of this city. who was
e. e. Crook S guest at the Northern
Light mine on Lion hill, last Tues
day. is highly elated over the condi-
ton of this splendid property ana
states that it is the best proposition he
has visited since he took up his so"
journ in the state.
Mr.. Colburn was taken through the
mine under the guidance of Superin-
tendent Frank Hines, and during the
examination the lower gold vein was
visited. and this, Mr.. Colburn states,
is a wonder, as it Is from 80 to 40 feet
thick, and, according to his informant,
gives average values of from 500 10
$40 in gold, which is the highest grace
milling ore to be found in the camp.
While inspecting this magnificent pooy
of ore a grab sample was taken from
the face Of the workings and since nis

GOLDEN STAR MILL:
a Plant For a Promising Oregon
Gold Producer.

w. J. Connors, the general manager
of the Golden Star Mining and Milling
company, whose property is located
near Baker City, Ore, was in the city
Yesterday on his way to Baker City
from Denver, where he has Just Dur-
chased of the Colorado Iron Works
company a ten stamp mill, which VIII
be Installed on the property of the
oompany within the next two or three
months.
The plant will have a capacity Of
treating 80 tons of crude ore daily, and
in addition to the stamps and plates
the plant will be equipped with a
Whitley table for concentrating, and
il is believed that when the works be-
gin grinding and pounding away on
ore that dividends will soon follow
The Golden Star company is the
owner of q group of six full claims.
The vein is true assure in por
phyry. and several hundred feet Of
work has been done in its Develop
nlent, and there is but little doubt but
that the amount of good ore already
blocked out and in sight will fully JUS
tify the erection of mill.
Mr. Connors states that Baker City
is growing into q mining camp of con-
siderable prominence and he is of the
opinion that in time that it will num-
Der its producing mines and dividend
payers by the score.
It is learned in this locality that
Hon. Dave Keith and j. E. Bamber-
ger, OF this city, are interested, and Mr.
Connors speaks highly Of the proper
ties there which are being developed
under their management.

There is no question bat that the
gold output of this country is rapidly
increasing, although there are not
many of our citizens who appreciate
this fact Much of this reaches the
market in the shape of crude ore, in
which the other metals are associated.
but the greater portion comes to this
city in the form Of cyanides. which il
Illustrates the utility Of this process
and the rapidity with which it is COM
ing into general use in this western
country
At the present time the bulk OF cy-
andes come from N1ercur, and the out
put from this wonderful gold camp is
constantly increasing, as is shown by
the fact that the train from the south
Wednesday evening brought in cyan
ides from this camp TO the extent Of
Sc, GOO, six boxes OF which came from
the Geyser- Marion. five from the Mer-
cur and three from the Sacramento.
st d conservative estimate this
would represent about one-third of the
monthly shipments from Mercur, which
would bring the production OF the camp
up to the handsome sum of $4,000
monthly, all OF which is handled by the
EdjA 1llllS " VI ~ Va A3lS NSHAaSSAANsSNSA
Kansas City Smelling & Refining
company, OF THIS city, which boasts of
having the finest plant of this charac-
ter 70 be found on this continent
As stated before, the cyanide out
put Of Mercur is steadily increasing,
and ii Mill not be long now before a
heavier production will be chronicied
at the Northern Light. the La Cigale
viii soon be turning out cyanides, so
VIII the Golden Cate with its 50o-ton
mill, and the Chloride Point will fol-
low suit, at an early day, and it is be-
lieVed that the Sunshine will soon re-
sumo operations, besides which other
mills are in contemplation for the
camp, and it is safe to predict that
within another year the gold output
or the district viii exceed 5000, 900 a
month.
Besides the product of the Mercur
mills the Consolidated Kansas City
is handling cyanides with, pleasing
regularity from the Old Spanish mill, at
Bingham, the Dexter MILL at Tnsca-
FoFa, New; the North Mountain mil,
at Cherry Greek. NeY.; the Battle
Mountain min, in Nevada; the Yubd
lease mill. at Phoebe, New; and the
Chase & Robinson mill, also at
Cherry Creek. and as many new mills
are in course OF erection or are in con-
temptation al over the country it is
safe 10 say that the gold output of this
inter mountain region is attaining
splendid proportions.

THE THIRD TERM MINE.
Otto Hudson Well Pleased With This
Fine Lead Producer.

OTTO Hudson, VINO is well known in
mining circles as a conservative and
capable mining operator, returned
wednesday night from the Free Coinage
district in Tooele county, near Grants
vile, where he has been for the pur-
pose of making an examination of the
Third Term mine for John Beck, of
Bullion-Becl1 fame. who is negotiating
for this promising lead producer on a
bond and lease.
In speaking Of the property Mr.. Hud-
son stated that he was very favcrably
impressed with il. and that never be-
fore had he seen such large bodies OF
shipping lead are exposed. the average
values OF which ranges from 3S TO As
per cent lead and 80 10 80 ounces in sil-

The Third Term belongs to the Jen-

ore in doing this work, and one of the
pleasing features OF the formation and

the ore bodies are as large at the sur
face as they are at a. depth of $50 feet.

PHOTOGRAPHIC IN coLoRs.
Engraver of st. Louis Has Solved the
Problem.

st. Louis, Aug. 19.-since Professor
Bogel of Berlin. Germany, suggested
that it was possible TO produce color
in photograp hs. and chemists have
failed 70 find process, Albert Schneck-
er of the Western Engraving company
Of this city has achieved it. He can
reproduce any object in its natural
color.
The main secret of the process is the
extraction of the three primary colors,
yellow. red and blue. A novelty of the
work is that the object photographed
is at right angles, or practically around
the corner. This is made possible by
the use of prism. Behind the prism is
a color filter. This is small fat 1GTlk
of glass. This filter is filled with a
chemically pure solution to exclude all
but the color desired to be extracted
from the object. A green liquid is used
when red is to be photographed, a blue
solution when, yellow is wanted. and a
red mixture is put on the filter when
the third basic color-blue-is to be re-
produced. Back of the filter is the
plate.

In California the .Rlondike excitement
is abating and the Coffee creek fever is
taking its place.
Coffee creek is located in Trinity
county. Cal. and reports from this sec
ton would indicate that these diggings
were rich enough so that they would
not take anv 'baclo talk" from the
tons are at the present writing that
the California discovery can give the
Klondike diggtngs aces and spades and
then walk off with the prize for being
about the biggest thing That has been
discovered in the way of gold for many
years past
The press reports sent east regarding
the Coffee creek finds are very mea-
gre, but the San Francisco papers de-
vote pages to the subject, and in a re-
cent issue of the Chronicle, a dispatch
from Weaverv4lle is published, as fol-
lows:
Squire Kirlaban, who has Just az
rived in WeaveTville from Trinity Gem
ter, reports the richest find eyer made
in this county. John Graves. his broth
er and Mr. Carter, owner of a gravel
mine on Coffee creek. near Trinity Cen
ter took out of their claim in four days
ST, 600 in gold dust. One piece weighed
over so pounds, was three feet long and
eight by three inches in thickness. The
gold was found in the gravel about 80
feet from the surface. With no bed rock
in sight
From this it would seem that tho
gravel on the creek was very rich in
the yellow metal, and yet bed rock has
not been reached
In this connection it might be well to
say that a salt Lake company is the
owner of two miles along the creek. just
above and adjoining the ground on
which these naTyelously rich discover
les are reported, and it might also be
stated that the company should be con-
graduated over it's future outlook
The company in question is styled the
which Dr. J. G. E. King Of this city is
president; E. G.. Rognon, secretary,
while among the local stockholders are
E. e. Crooks, with a. large block of the
stock to his credit DR.. Philo e. Jones,
E. H. Scott and 2. S. Wtcher
The company has spent considerable
time and money in the installation Of
hydraulic works and flurning on the
property, and it has made valuable ac-
count of low finances. but few men
have been employed this season, and,
as more improvements We're in con-
temptation, it was not intended to make
a clean up this year. as it is deep to bed
rock and in order to sluice to advan-
tage it would be necessary to lower the
sluice boxes from three to four feet.
| The improvements made. however, will
! enable the company to begin work at
an early day to good advantage, and
when the bed rock is reached and a
clean up made there is no doubt but that
it viii be a large and rich one
