THE BIG I MINE.
A New Mill Being Erected on the De
Lamar.

w. w. Fisk, superintendent of the
Big I mine at DeLamar. says the
Statesman, of Boise. Ida, is in the
city looking after the shipment of some
mining supplies which have been here
for some time awaiting transportation
TO the mine. He came over as far as
Nampa horseback. He says there is
freight of all kinds strung along the
road to Silver, consisting not only of
mining supplies but of merchandise.
The road on the other side of the
summit has just been put in order SD
that teams can begin to get through
and the blockade will now soon be
over. A force of 40 or so men have
been at work on the road just beyond
the summit and they have shoveled
out road through the snow ranging
from four to six feet in depth All
freight has to be taken on wheels to
the summit and there transferred to
runners.
Mr. Fisk says the shippers are not
reaping any advantage from the new
railroad yet. The bridge is ready for
the iron work and as soon as that is
done the road will be pushed forward
rapidly as far as The Springs where a
station will be made. The freighters
all freight from this direction will be
shipped to that point and taken from
there to Silver by teams.
The Big L mine, according to Mr.
Fisk's statement, has been shipping an
average of ton of good paying ore
a day during the entire winter At
one time he had 80 men employed and
a great deal of development has been
done. A large quantity of ore is on
the dump awaiting treatment. The
mine is now shut down for repairs. The
boiler is being repaired and other nee
essary work done. Mr.. Fisk hopes dur
ing the coming summer to be in a po-
sition to have a new plant put in.
The DeLamar mine is putting in a
plant for reducing ore by the Pelatan-
Clerici process which is expected to
have a daily capacity of 80 tons. An
italian by the name of Biffi is super
intending the work. This plant will
enable that company to more success
fully treat their ore than has been pos
sible under the old process. The own
ers of the Big | mine have ore much
the same in quality as the DeLamar
and they are waiting to see what re-
suits the new plant gives. If it is sat
isfactory they propose to put in a SIM
liar plant.

There is an abundance of water. and

Three giant hydraulics, one of a seven

Mr. Archie Downie ST., the we'll

The operation of these mines are in

NORTHERN LIGHT ACTIVITY.
Based on Favorable Reports from
This Promising Property.

This Promising Property.
Northern Light stock sprung into
considerable prominence yesterday, and
in the pit of the mining exchange and
on the streets in the afternoon there
was an active demand for this Sc
curity, and yet there was no reason
able cause for this furore unless it is
| that almost everyone that comes in
from Lion hill is the bearer of good
news regarding the property of the
company and the manner in which the
new mill is operating.
At the office of the company in this
city, however, nothing new has trans
pired, and the management desires to
refrain from making any statements
until the first cleanup has been made,
! but it is currently reported that opera
tions so far have been of a most salts
factory nature and that the process is
saving a very high percentage of the
gold in the Northern Light ores and a
large portion of the silver.
1t is generally believed that the gold
values alone Will enable the company
to acquire a place in time on the
dividend paying list, while the silver
will come in as clear gains. as it were;
and it has been demonstrated that
with the silver in the ore the product
of the mine can be treated TO better

only gold bearing, and, on account of
the care taken in the construction Of
the mill it is estimated by those who
have visited the property that the ore
can be mined and milled at a fourth
less expense than it is costing the
Mercur company to handle the product
of its mine.
At the Northern Light everything is
done by gravity. The ore finds an
exit through the Woodruff tunnel and
is emptied into the bins at the top Of
the plant. from where it goes by
gravity into the workings below.

Disclose Fine Body of Gold Ore Up
in Wyoming.

III wyoming.
Last year John w. Tyler and VIII
Shackleton, of this city. located the
Grace lode, in the South Pass country
Wyoming, and before laying off work
in the fall they sunk a 20-foot Shaft
but in doing this work they failed to
disclose any ore.
The Grace is located about a mile
northwest of the Caresa mine, the
property of George w. Keel, of this
city, and when reports were received
I in this CITY last fall relative to the
rich strike made in this mine, the boys
felt highly elated, as the Grace is on
the same ore belt as the Caresa and
they felt convinced that they had the
extension of the same ledge.
Something less that a month ago
Messrs. Tyler and Shackleton left for
South Pass for the purpose of resum-
ing work in the development of their
ground, and yesterday word was re-
ceived from them that after deepening
the shaft only four feet they had I'M
covered a fine body of high grade gold
ore, and the showing made in the prop
erty is such as to warrant the belief
that they have found a bonanza, as the
ore is rich in gold and the mineral is
the same in its characteristics as that
uncovered in the workings of the
Caresa.
Samples of the ore are expected to
arrive in the city within the next few
days, and also further details regard
ing the strike. which is regarded as a
most important one.
From all accounts the South Pass
country promises to spring into con-
siderable prominence this season. as
there are other mines and prospects
there in which fine bodies of high
grade gold ore have been exposed.
A good many Salt Lake people are
already interested in that locality, and
it is understood that ogden people are

that they will do a large amount of

THE CYANIDE PROCESS.
Contract for a Mill for the Golden
Gate Mine.

Gate Mine.
The following item from the Denver
Republican is especially interesting for
the reason that in it it is asserted that
the American Cyanide company has
been awarded the contract for the cree
ton of a 400-tOn plant at the Golden
Gate mine at Mercur. Whether this
statement is true or not remains to be
seen. but there is good reason to believe
that it is The Republican says:
The Importance Of the cyanide proc
ess in the reduction of ores is illustra-
ted by the fact that there are now five
cyanide mills at work upon the tailings
of old mines. some of the dumps being
from u to 20 years old.

county. Cal, has now an American
cyanide mill in operation upon its tall
ings and is treating 100 tons per day.

its tailings, both these mills using the

Good Returns from the Dexter.

The Dexter, at Tuscarora, New, has
been heard from, and in no uncertain
terms, if there is any virtue in gold
bars galore.
On Monday of this week the company
IN this city received a bar of bullion
valued at $4,000. On Wednesday an
other consignment of $1,000 was re-
ceived, and yesterday still another bar
came in by express that was worth
$1,000, which brought the shipments
for the week up to the handsome sum
of sS,200
A sample of ore from the new dis
coveries in the Dexter was also re-
celved yesterday that was fairly COW
cred with native gold, and the reports
from the mine and the mill were of a
most encouraging nature.
