ore bins, etc, viii cover an area of
about seven acres under roof. The site
will comprise 20 acres OF upland ard
an equal area OF tide land to be used
as dumping ground. The plant VIII
| include two silver-lead sacks, 26 feet
high to the feed floor. with crucibies A
inches wide and 145 inches long, their
daily capacity TO be $50 tons each
There will also be one steel-jacketed
copper stack Of the same dimensions,
with a capacity of $50 to 200 tons a
day. In connection with 1t will be a
refinery capable of treating Is tons Of
Lead bullion daily.
The roasting plant will include one
large Wethey multiple, rectangular
calcining furnace. having a capacity
of about so tons in "a hours; four 17x75-
foot reverbatory furnaces, and two
Buskner roasting furnaces. These
roaSter5 will have a capacity sufficient
to keep all the stacks supplied.
The dust chamber will be built of
brick and will be 800 feet long and
10x12 feet square. There viii. also be
five brick smokestacks so to 100 feet
high in the different departments.
Power will be furnished by a 500
horse power Corliss engine. of high and
low pressure, with condensing plant
If necessary. There will be four return
tubular boilers, 20 feet long and five in
diameter. There will be a complete
electric light plant, with capacity or
Is arc and 300 incandescent lights.
A complete sampling plant, labora-
tory and double assay Office will also
be included.
The buildings will have frames of
timber and roofs of corrugated iron.
The material to be used in construc-
ton will include about 100000 common
brick. from 100000 to 200 fire brick,
about 1000 900 feet of lumber, 300 bar
rels of cement, 600 barrels of lime and
100 900 pounds of fire clay. The con-
tract for the machinery has already
been let to E. P. Allis & Co. of Mil
waukee.
The plant will give employment, di-
rectly and indirectly. to between 200
and 300 men. many of whom must be
highly skilled and consequently must
be paid good salaries.
The erection of this plant will OF
necessity require a public sampling
works, and this being the case, ores
would naturally be consigned to diff
ferent banks, and, when sampled and
offered for sale, competitive bids would
probably be made by the smelling
companies at Seattle, Everett and Ia
coma, thus affording the miners the
opportunity to obtain the largest pos
sible price. The location of the samp-
ping works here will thus tend to cen
tralize the mining traffic in Seattle and
will force all smelters on the coast to
bid on ores from this point.

The Chloride Point showine.

The officials of the Chloride Point
Mining company are feeling highly
elated over the splendid showing in
this Lion hill property, which adjoins
the Northern Light and they feel that
the future of the mine is now assured
A few days ago Manager Gill s.
Peyton sent out for average samples
of the bodies of low grade ore disclosed
in this ground. From one breast OF
mineral that measured Is feet wide in
the face Of the tunnel samples were
taken and also for a distance of 80 feet
back along the sides of the tunnel, the
assay returns from which showed as
say values of SO ounces silver and So
in gold 10 the ton; while lin the face
of the main tunnel average mDles
were taken from a breast of ore six
feet wide. and along the tunnel jcr-.,
distance of 20 feet, that gave values of
So ounces silver and 81 in gold to the
ton.
This showing, from what was sup
posed to be nothing but low grade
milling ore, was surprising, as a por-
ton of this is good shipping mineral.
besides which there are large chutes
of high grade ore exposed in the work
ings of the mine from which shipments
Will be made from time TO time pend
ing the erection of the new mill, which.
it is stated. will be an assured fact
sometime this summer, as the company
is now making plans and arrange
ments for its erection.
AT the office OF the company in this
city there is a fine display of ore from
the Chloride Point. besides which there
is on exhibition some fine mineral from
the Wachusett. which also adjoins the
Chloride Point.

the Columbia, and also in the Ball &
Morgan Golden Center. Silvanite is
the telluride of gold and contains when
pure, 26 per cent of gold. 1t is So
called because ii is of a white silver
color. and looks like silver. but when
roasted the tellurium is given off and
the gold appears in little n1odules or
nuggets in different places on the
specimen. 1t is the richest gold ore
ever known and is the main source of
gold in Cripple Creek.
The first big mine of any Importance
in this country in which sylvanite was
found, was The Smuggler mine at
Boulder Colo. and 1t contained large
quantities of sylvanite. number of
miners in Encampment, some OF them
Cripple Creek men, have pronounced
the find to be sylvanite. and if they are
not mistaken the future of the camp is
assured beyond question.

New York. June 15.-The upward
halt during the progress of trading to-
day on the stock exchange. and earlier
gains We're wiped out. leaving some
important stocks below last nights
close. There was no very obvious rea-
son for the reaction beyond the general
principle that the reaction is always
bound TO come after the advance.
The prevailing dullness in the Lon
don market owing TO the jubilee fes-
tivities had its effect on this market,
arbitrage operations being much re-
stricted. Perhaps this fact lessened
! the effect of the death of the Kaffir
king, the immediate group of securi-
ties with which he was associated
showing no noticeable effect. Some SEN
timental effect was, nevertheless, pro-
duced in this market. The announce
ment of a shi3ment of $500. 900 in gold
by Thursdays steamer was coupled
with the announcement that none of
it would be Withdrawn from the sub
treasury. The shipment, nevertheless,
had its effect in selling off the market

81, 600, 900 in the merchandise exports
over those of year ago, the imports

statements of imports in April in an
ticipation of tariff changes are 9s,547,-

about 12,000,000 pounds for the same
period last year, and 740, 114.045 pounds
of raw sugar against 369, $40, 066 for
Ap-il of last year.
These heavy balances are probably
still unsettled for the most part, and
are bound to affect the exchange situa-
ton for some time to come. On the
other hand, the weeks exports from
New York show an increase of $780,

tinued buying stocks in this market in

According to all reports southern
Utah is likely to make a great record
this year in the way of gold discoveries,
and if the indefatigable prospector
keeps up the pace he is setting it will
not be long before the state will claim
the honor of being one of the leading
gold producers of the west.
Already Utahnians are beginning 10
boast OF the possession of such camps
as Mercur, Gold Mountain, State Line,
the Blue Mountains. Indian Creek and
the LaSalle and Henry Mountains. and
also the gold regions in Box Elder
county, and if continued finds are made
in these localities it will not be long
before the bondholder and capitalist
will be calling for the decentralization
of the yellow metal, as its production
Will exceed anything heard of before
in these modern times.
a month or two ago an experienced
mining operator now residing in this
city sent a prospector into the southern
country with Instructions TO examine
carefully any formation where white
iron was found with granite walls and
yesterday he received a letter from
his protege stating that he had found
the desired formation.
In his letter tho prospector said:
Il send you a sample Of white iron.
The granite gangue shows free gold.
The ledge of white iron is 90 inches in
width and partly stratified with
quartz
An assay was made yesterday of the
white iron by a Salt Lake assayer.
with the result that it was shown that
the ore. which did not show any free
gold, carried values of $3.50 in gold
TO the ton.
The letter from the prospector was
mailed at Milford but it is understood
that the find was made in Iron county
at a point about 60 miles southwest of
Milford. and therefore in close prox-
unity TO the stare Line district, and
it is possible that the discovery was
made in this camp.
If the 20 inches of white iron ore will
carry average values as stated above,
and if the ledge is a permanent one,
the discovery is a most important one
and should lead TO other similar finds
in the same locality
Parties interested will probably leave
for the new Eldorado within the next
few days.
