New Rule for Assessment Work Not Eff

New Rule for Assessment Work Not Eff
fective Until July LIST.
Washington, March 15.-Secretary
Bliss has made an important amend
ment to the mineral regulations pro-
mulgated by the Interior Department
December 18th last 1t is of great in,
terest to many of the western states,
and provides that all applications for
mineral patent made and passed to en-
try before July 1898 or which are
by protests of adverse claims prevent
ed from being passed to entry before
that time, where the application EN-
braces several locations held in COM
mon, proof of an expenditure of $500
upon the group will be sufficient, and
an expenditure of that amount need
not be shown to have been made upon
or for the benefit of each location EN-
braced in the application.
The above decision will be received
with regret and with satisfaction ac-
c0rding to the circumstances. The in
dividuals and syndicates who have
gone into camps and located large
groups of mines will be pleased with
the order Withdrawing the terms of
the former decision which required

patented, instead of $500 for a group,
while the new order lasts. Those who
are opposed to the policy of grab and
are content with one or two claims
will not be well pleased. They will
claim that the original decision was in
favor of the poor sprospector who finds
the camps and very often develops
them. 1t very often took all he had to
do the assessment work on one claim.
In addition, the former ruling would
require the REIMBURSEMENT of claims
to those who might develop them.
The ruling made ON December 18th
by Commissioner Hermann of the gen
eral land office was on a mineral entry
from the Pueblo land Office, where a
sufticiency of work had not been done
to hold all the claims.

Railways in England.

John Macaulay, traffic manager of
the Mersey railway, has announced
that he is in favor of the nationalist
ton of the railways of the United King
dom, and declares. that the question is
rapidly becoming one of practical poll
tics. He says that railroads, like all
other roads, should be under public
authority, and wisely used, with bust
ness-like interest of adequately salts
flying needs of the nation, with the.
least possible waste and duplication
of useless work" Mr.. Maeaulay esti-
maltese that at least 20 to "a per cent.
of the total working cost of the rail
ways would be saved by the mere act
Of consolidation. One of the advan-
tages he notes would be that railways
could be constructed and worked at a
loss where advisable in those parts of
the nation where companies would not
build because it would not pay" Thus
many industries and localities now I'M
developed would receive new life, and
it would pay the country to lose money
on the railways. for years.

Lead and zinc in rich paying quaint
ties have been discovered in the Kaw
reservation, which joins Kay county,
Oklahoma, on the east. A Joplin pros
pector declares the find superior to

The Cooks Peak mines, in southern
New Mexico, are the heaviest lead pro-
ducers in the territory. Two mines
there, the Othello and Desdemona, be-
longing to the Kansas City Smelling
and Refining Company of FL Paso,
produced 10S00,000 pounds of lead
and 81, 800 ounces of silver in 1897.
During the year ending with Deem
Der 81, 1897, the Horn Silver Mine in
Utah marketed crude ore and concen-
trates of the value of $244, 263. 80, paid
dividend of $4,000 and closed with a
cash balance in the bank of $780,
SS9.72, in addition to "call lOans'

extraction was $4.O9 per ton, and the
cost of concentration, in, which four
and one-half tons of crude ore were re-
duced to one ton of concentrates. s.. %.
or 1914 per ton when ready for the

oILPLN couNrYs MILLS.

A Mining Paper at Denver SAYS Their
Methods Are Unsatisfactory.
The Mining Industry and Review of
Denver, in it's issue of March 10th.
contained a severe criticism of the
methods in use by mill men of GiIpin
county. The article is as follows:
The Gilpin county mines have four
kinds of ores, or, better said, four
kinds of ores predominant in Gilpin
county. These are the oxidized, or
partly oxidized, surface deposits in the
vein groupings, extending frequently
to quite a depth. They are the only
free milling rock of the county. The
stamp mills can save up to so per
cent. of the values of this ore. There
is, however, not much Of it. The oxi-
died ore soon changes to pyrites,
chiefly iron pyrites, very little chalco-
pyrite, which latter carries high val
ues. The quartz, or other vein matter
with pyrites, passed through the
stamps, leaves fair percentage of the
gold contents on the plates, if there is
no lead and zinc in the ores worth
mentioning, and the concentration of
the iron in the tailings which pass
from the plates onto the percussion
tables, increases the gold savings.
The third kind of ore is one which
carries zinc as well as lead, and al
though the more solid ore is being
sorted out, a good deal of fine zinc
and lead passes with the quartz over
the plates, interfering with the alb
sorption of the free gold by the ANAL
gam on the plates, and the too rapid
work of the percussion tables, with
TOO much water, floats more gold val
ueS into the creek than arc saved
there. Then there are lead and zinc
deposits-partlY smelling ore, partly
milling, the latter undergoing the same
process of putting the cart before the
horse For free milling ore, and for
the same with pyrites only, the pres
emit system, or rather the system of
old, stamps, plates and humping tables
is good enough, although there seems
to be paid little attention as to wheth-
er slow or rapid drop of stamps is
best adapted for one or the other ore.
To get through rapidly seems to be
the sole aim of the mill men, The
action of zinc and lead upon the ANAL
gam plates acts refractorily, just as
zinc does in the blast furnace. Quartz
ores, with zinc and lead, as we'll as
iron, should be concentrated first (af-
ter sizing, unless the minerals are all
of very fine grain, as is sometimes the
case). Separate all the base miner
ais, such as lead, zinc and iron, from
the quartz, and then crush the quartz
fine; let it run over the amalgam
plates, or amalgamate, or save by any
process you deem proper. In all prob
ability there will be more gold saved
in the concentrates alone than the
whole saving under the present meth
cd.
THE Mining Industry knows of no
other prominent mining section where
so much gold has been lost and is be-
ing lost as Gilpin. We do not think
the total loss has been less than so
per cent. We, therefore, are sorry to
call such works butcher mills"
