CAssIA COUNTY MINES.
John Beck Interested in Valuable
Properties There.

DuStan Harper, who has recently
been in Cassia county, says the States
man, of Boise, Ida, brings some in
formation respecting the mining inter
ests there, which indicates that the
country is soon to become one of the
largest mineral producers OF the state.
An interesting ature of the news
brought by Mr.. Harper relates to boat
mining on the Snake. He visited the
Sweetser just below the old Storey
ferry and found that the problems of
pumping the gravel from the bed of
the stream and saving the gold have
been solved by the operators.
Burroughs & Sweetser are cattlemen.
Three years ago they began mining on
the Snake by means of a boat and
pump. The work is under the imme-
date direction of Mr.. Burroughs
He has remodeled the boat each year
since they began, making such i'm
provements as experience demonstrated
to be necessary. The boat is 125 feet
long The gravel is brought up by an
injector pump operated by steam. The
feed pipe is II inches in diameter and
an enormous amount of material is de-
livered into the sluice boxes each day.
For a quarter of a mile behind the
boat a bar has been built uD from 10
to 10 feet high. The boat is so arranged
that it swings back and rorch, cover
ing strip of river $50 feet wide.
Mr.. Harper did not learn what the
secret of handling the gravel in the
sluice is, nor was he told the output,
but the firm is under an expense of
some S25 a. day and it is evident that
good profits are being realized.
STOKES DISTRICT.
Mr.. Harper found great activity in

there impressed him with the conVic-
ton that the district is destined to be
a very important one. The Lodges are
numerous, they are as wide as eight
feet and much of the ore. runs high.
John Beck, the Utah mining man, re-
Gently sent in an expert and upon the
report Mr.. Beck has taken hold of a
number of properties and is developing
them. He has put crews of men to
work on several claims and the results
OF the development work are most sat
isfactory. So well pleased is the ex-
perienced miner that he is buying up
other claims and is preparing for ex-
tensive operations. Some of the tun-
far as 200 feet and the developments
made by them are universally good.
One 5-stamp mill has been erected.
1t is on the Melcher claim, owned by
Storey, Mahoney and the Jordan es-
tate. This mill is all ready to run
and will be in operation as soon as the
weather opens up in the spring, opera
lions having been suspended owing to
the cold weather about the time it was
completed.
The ore in the Stokes district carries
gold and lead. Mr.. Harper brought
some fine specimens TO the mining ex-
change. They are from the Melcher
ard Alice claims, the latter being one
of those worked by John Beck.

RICH COPPER STRIKE.
Butte People Opening Up New
Wealth Producers.


A rich strike of copper and silver ore
has just been made in the Receiver
mine at the head of Horse canyon,
says the Butte Miner At depth oil
220 feet a vein of copper ore was cut
through in the shaft which goes 10
per cent copper and % ounces in silver
to the ton. The strike is one of the
most important yet made in the Horse
canyon district, and will help to slim
ulate work in developing other mines
in the section about Columbia Gardens.
In both Horse canyon and Park can
yon a great deal of money has been
spent in the past year in development
work on the different mines. Many
small leads have been found, but the
present discovery so near the surface
is perhaps the most important one yet
made. The mine is owned by Elias
Sperling and others, Mr.. Sperling hold
ing a one-fourth interest. 1t has been
under bond and lease for some time
and it has cost a good deal of money
to sink to the present depth No cross
cutting was found necessary to locate
the vein, which is over two feet wide,
as it was found in the shaft in sinking
TO the 300 level. The present leasers
Will explore the vein for some distance
both ways and also sink down several
hundred feet before. attempting to ship
ore. They feel that they have coed
mine and want to know all that can
be found out before the bond expires.
1t has always been a theory with some
first-class mining experts that the dis
trict comprising Horse canyon and
Park canyon contains some large and
rich deposits of copper ore if only the
proper amount of development work
was done TO locate the leads. In Park
canyon particularly some very extern
sive work has been done in sinking
shafts and running tunnels at various
points, but no great mine has yet been
found. 1t is thought that the present
vein cut in the Receiver may be a part
of the extension of the Glangarry lead.

IMPROVED MILLING METHODS.
Ores Treated at Profit That Could
Not Be Touched Before.

Mining and Scientific Press: I'm
provements in mining and milling colo
ores are in no better way indicated
than in the reduction of working costs
per ton. This progress toward cheaper
production has made profitable the
working of lower grade ores, and a
consequent widening of the field Of
mining operations. Properties consid-
cred of no value 20 years ago are now
producing good dividends upon ores O;
no better grade than were then in
sight. Should this progress continue.
ore now Of too low grade to work
at a profit will become of value.
In comparing working costs, sight
must not be lost of the different condi-
lions under which different mines oper-
ate. Reduction of ore for Sc per ton in
one mine may indicate more careful
management than at 81 in it's near
neighbor. Difference OF cost in differ
ent mines cannot be compared to az
much advantage as the record of one
individual mine over several consecu-
tive years.
The general tendency of working
costs is to increase with the life OF
the mine. if no Improvements in meth
DDS or machinery are introduced for
hosting must be done from greater
depths or longer tunnels run, a greater
length of openings kept in repair, more
water pumped and more timbering re-
sorted to. So that a decrease in cost
per ton means that greater skill and
Improvement have been instituted
than the financial results show, for
they are made in the face of increas-
ing difficulties.
In general. it may be said that the
working costs of one mine indicate
the costs throughout the immediate
district, for the conditions are locally
similar; but the record of some in
dividual mine or of several mines in
one region is Of more value than any
number of general statements
The oft-published results of working
costs are very elusive facts. In con-
sidering the cost of production per ton
the only real indication lies in the

UP THE WEBER.

John Martin and associates are the
owners of a group of claims about nine
miles UP the Weber river from Oakley.
from which some very fine specimens
of carbonate ore are being obtained.
The ledge is a heavy one and miner
allied across its entire face. Some
splendid assays have been obtained in
gold and silver. The ore appears in
small stringers, but not in sufficient
quantities to pay for saving it. The
owners think well of the property, as
also do others of experience who have
visited and inspected it. The Weber
and Beaver creek countries are going
TO unfold some big treasures one of
these days, and when they do the per-
severing Drospectors who are putting
in some hard licks there developing
their claims will be called lucky by
the people who sit around and wish
for wealth to come their way.
