END LINES NOT PARALLEL
Difference in the Application of the
Apex Rule of Law

Judge Knowles decided a question Of
general interest TO mining men Friday
in the United States district court. saws
the Butte Inter Mountain The suit
was that brought by Anton Baum and
others against Ross Deegan. an ap-
plication for an injunction to restrain
the defendant from working a mining
claim in jefferson county The vein
passed from the Buzz lode. cutting the
side line. into the adjacent Amazon
On its dip il is so inclined hat eventu-
ally it passed into the Buzz, although
its apex was in the Amazon. The rule
generally believed to prevail is that
Z miner may follow the vein on its dip
outside the side line. if ii goes there
In the case in controversy, however
the end lines of the Amazon, in which
is the apex of the vein. are not paral-
lei. one of the side lines being 50 feet
longer than the other.
Judge Knowles held that the right to
follow outside the side lines exists only
when the end lines are parallel.
The owners of the Amazon. Baum ct
al. had obtained an injunction against
Ross Deegan. the owner of the Buzz. to
prevent him from taking any ore out
of the vein that 3peXed in the Amazon.
Judge Knowles discharged the injunc-
ton. 1t is understood that an appeal

appeals at San Francisco.

KEYSTONE MINE AND MILL.
Excellent Results From the Mitchell
Gold Amalgamators

From Sam Godbe. the we'll known
mining operator, who is superintend-
! ent of the keystone mine and mill in
| Lincoln county, Nevada, it is learned
that everything is progressing finely in
the operation of this plant, and that it
promises to develop into a good pay
ing proposition.
For some time past the company has
been reducing its ores with a ten-ton
stamp mill with plates. The keystone
ore iS not all free milling, but it was
! discovered that some of the free gold
was lost in the tailings and in order
/ to recover this one of Mitchells Acme
Flour Gold Amalgamators was installed
/ behind the batteries few months ago,
and after giving it a thorough test, Mr..
Godbe states that this machine is a
great gold saver, and that it recovered
every particle of free gold that went out
in the tsilings. In fact, Mr.. Godbe was
well satisfied with the amalgamator.
and he said that it was a fine thing TO
have around any free, gold MILL as. in
connection with the other machinery.
the cost Of its operation was trivial and
hardly noticed, and he was satisfied
that it would make big money on old
free gold dumps, or in the handling of
failing pits from a quartz mill where
the ore had been treated in crude
manner, and that when installed behind
mill it would surely make a great
saving and at a comparatively small
expense.
In speaking of the mine. Mr. Godbe
stated that it was looking well, with
good reserves of ore in sight that gave
average values on the plates of from
S22 10 s25 in gold to the ton. but as
some OF the product of the mine was
not free milling and some Of the free
gold values We're not saved on the
plates. it was decided TO increase the
capacity of the plant to 30 tons daily
and also put in pans and settlers Of
course the free gold in the tailings
was all saved by the Mitchell amaIga-
mator. but the rebellious values could
not he saved by this process, hence the
addition of the pans and settlers 1t
is expected that by amalgamation and
the use of the pans very close saving
viii be made, but if it is found that
any of the free gold escapes, the Mitch
ell machine Will be located behind the
batteries of the new mill 1t is ex-
pected that the enlarged plant will be
ready for operations within so days.
when the OUTPUT of the mine and mill
will he noticably increased.
Before leaving for Salt Lake Mr.
Godbe was in Vanderbilt. Cal which
is the nearest railroad point to the
mine. and he states that the mine and
mill of the Brick Consolidated Mining
company, which are located at that
place. are looking well. and that the
output of the mine and mill has been
materially increased during the past
year.
Mr.. Godbe states that the deserts of |
southern Utah and eastern Nevada are /
now one vast stretch of flower beds. I
which is accounted for by the heavy [.
snowfall of the past winter. This. he /
states. is something that he has not /
seen for years. and the whole country
is feeling the benefits of the increased /
moisture.
Mr.. GOdbe will remain in the city for
a week before returning to Keystone

A few weeks ago Charlie Rives OF
this city, who is identified with the
Gold Dust and Gold Flint Mining COM
panies of this city. who are operating
near Leesburg, Ida, left for Sedalia.
Colo. on visit TO his brother. T. r.
Rives, who is Well-knoWn railroad
man of that section.
While looking about the town Charlie
happened to run across property just
mile south of that place and on the
railroad that had been worked for two
years by parties who had never had all
assay made of the ore, as everyone
supposed that the mineral was iron.
Mr.. Rives. after a short examination
OF the mine, discovered it's real value.
and without so much as having a test
made he interested his brother with
him in the deal and the two purchased
the group of two claims, known as the
Ruef1y and the Raven, for the sum
of $500.
When an assay was made of the ore
it was found that it carried values of
23.9 per cent copper and 81 in gold to
the ton.
The ledge had been opened for dis
tance of 400 feet on the surface and
its average width was from two to four
feet. while on the dump, within a few
sands in ore Of the grade above men
toned ready for shipment.
After the purchase of the two claims
the Rives brothers did not have long
to wait in order to make a turn. as
within the next four days they sold
the property to V. z. Rouse of Colo
RADIO Springs and his associates for the
sum of $4,000, 81, 900 of which was paid
down in cash, while the balance is due
within a year, and during the period
before the final payment the Messrs.
Rives are to receive a royalty of 10
per cent on all ores sold
This is a deal that anyone might we'll
feel proud of. and Mr.. Rives who re-
turned to Salt Lake yesterday for the
purpose of attending a directory meet
ing of the Gold Dust Mining company,
informs The Herald that during his
short soiourn at Salida he tied up sew
eral other Valu2 BILE properties and al
ready he has several important deals
on the tap t that place, and before
the close Of the year he expects to add
several more thousands to his bank ac-
count
1t is his intention to return to Salida
on the 9Th for the purpose of looking
after these interests.
At the meeting of the directors of
the Gold Dust company yesterday ar
were made for the puff
chase of a steam hoist for the mine,
and within a few days B. NJ. Harmon,
the president of the company. will
leave for the mine to direct its erec-
ton. 1t is also stated that a mill will
be erected on this valuable gold prop
erty this season.
MIR. Rives has many friends in Salt

his good fortune. He is a hard work

The Mercur Buckeye.

". D. Gibson, one of the contractors
of the Buckeye mine at Mercur, was in
the city on business yesterday. He
states that after persevering efforts
they have gone through about 40 feet
of hard quartzite. and are now break
ing into the softer decomDosed DOr-
phyry. He also states that the mine
is looking better with every foot of
development. A tunnel is being run
to catch the vein, which has been ex-
posed in the upper workings. The tun-
mel will catch this ledge at about $50
feet vertical depth. Assays of SO and 81
have already been obtained in the up
per tunnel. Mr.. Gibson expresses the
belief that when the vein is cut in the
lower tunnel good asasys will be the
result. He believes that inside of 10
or 20 feet he will cut the vein.

1t is more than likely that the old
mining camp of Meadow Lake, in Ne
vada county, California. will spring
into considerable prominence again
this season, and especially so since it
has been demonstrated that the gold
ores of that district can be successfully
treated by the smelling process.
\. r. Cardwell. of this city. as well
as other Salt Lakers, are quite heavily
interested in Meadow Lake. and it is
understood that he has just purchased

which to work the ores of the camp.

Meadow Lake district. SAYS:
G. L. Bemis. a practical mining man
and assayer. connected with the COM
development Of the Meadow Lake
mines. hes made several tests OF he
ore and is fully convinced that it can
be worked at a handsome profit.
Mr.. Bemis has large mining interests
in Utah and has had a long experience
in handling rebellious ores. He be-
ieves that the ore from the Meadow
Lake mines can he worked at a cost
of from S. TO Sc per ton. His process
is TO crush the rock with rollers. and
make concentrates, from which he be-
lieves he can save 96 per cent of the
assay value Of smelling.
The question Of transportation. in
his opinion, is the most serious one
as the ore will have to be taken where
it can be mixed with other ore to work
it successfully. If advantageous rates
can be secured from Truckee to Reno
the success of the undertaking is as
SureG, as the quantity and quality of
the ore is unqueSuoned.

and these, with l.. c. Jeffrey of Bing-

We understand it is the intention of the
company to shortly begin extensive de-
VelOpments on the Starlus and Amanda
mines, and for the purpose hosting and
pumping machinery will be procured.
The Chicago directors will arrive in
Salt Lake Saturda:' or Monda:r, when
a meeting is TO be held for maturing
plans. The parties, accompanied by
NJ. j. Sheridan, a prominent member of
the Chicago board of trade and a min
ing expert. will be here next week to
inspect the companys property.
HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
How to treat a large per cent of the
ores of Bingham that refuse to yield 10
any single process with profit, seems
likely to be demonstrated by the COM
bination mill of the Highland Boy COM
pany. The Old Telegraph, Spanish and
Utah, some of the Old Jordan proper
ties, the Stewards, ETC., are all cyanide
to a degree, their ores be-
ing similar to that of the Highland Boy.
If the mill is a success, and thorough
have furnished assurance
that it viii be, it will show the way for
the reduction of many thousands of |
tons of ore which the properties named |
are capable of producing, but of which |
only comparatively small per cent can |
now be handled with a profit sufficient |
to stimulate production.
