H. L. J. Warren, Utah correspondent
OF the New York Mining and Engineer
ing Journal, was here Tuesday and
Wednesday and visited the Cuba, Last
Chance, Washington, Highland Boy
and other properties. He will make a
favorable mention of Bingham in his
weekly report.
Bingham is just now making a great
copper showing, not confined to the
great Highland Boy. Within a month
the Julia Dean, Fortune, Conger
Weasel, Cuba, Washington, Erie and
others have reported finding ore run
ming from 10 to 40 per cent copper
The Dean heads the list with the high

A large amount of development work
has been done in Old Jordan ground
and neighboring property during the
past six months and immense dumps
have grown along the creek like
mushrooms. The Jordan is opening up
new country westerly from the old

The Grand Encampment.

Concerning the new gold camp of
Grand Encampment, the Journal of
Rawlins saws:
Recent assays from the Golden Cen
ter, the Ball and Morgan claim, run as
high as $3.50 in gold.
w. L. Evans is en- route to Battle
lake, with hosting and pumping ma
chinery for his famous Ajax mine.
Mr.. HaskicS of the West Side Placer
company, at Four Mile, is at Fort
Steele with a lot of mining machinery
for his copper mines near Battle lake.
1t Will be hauled in as soon as possible
D. A. Baker, manager of the Mollie
Hill company, has returned from
Omaha and will leave in a short time
for Encampment, where work on the
Mollie Hill claim will be resumed.
A daily stage line is now running be-
tween Saratoga and Encampment City
William Orvill is managing the line.
Stages leave Saratoga in the morning
for Encampment and return the same
afternoon.
A contract to put in water pipes and
erect a hotel and do other necessary
things at EncamDment City, it is said,
has been made with a Colonel Boyce
of New York City, who is well backed
financially. The Boyce company has
purchased a controlling interest in the
town company and will run things now,
it is claimed, for the benefit of the
town.

Mercur, June 19.-The Chloride Point
mill, SO far, seems to be all right. The
machinery is all in motion and being
regulated. Everything is running
smoothly, and tomorrow it is probable
that ore will be put through the
crusher and rolls and the initial run
inaugurated
The work of digging a trench for
the. pipe line to the shaft at the Hill
side is being pushed ahead, and in
Few days the connection viii be made
The shaft is now down little over so
feet, and about one-third of the dis
lance at which ore may be looked for.
The Golden Gate is piling up "a large
dump at either end of the mill, and
everything is running smoothly. The
roasters have been causing some
trouble, not on account of a failure to
roast the ore all right, but defects in
the machinery that have caused delay.
The trouble is now nearly settled how
ever, and the mill is steadily increas-
ing its output. A great many assays of
the tailings have been made by out
side parties, and it is now an open
secret that a good recovery is being
made The first shipment of bars of
gold was made Friday afternoon.
On account of a break in the mill at
Manning all the miners at the Mercur
mine were laid off yesterday afternoon

TEST OF PooRMAN ORES.
Huntington Mills Ordered For the
Banner

Banner.
The Miner, of Florence, Ida, says:
The last samples of ore taken from
the Candaleria mine give mill run of
S35 per ton. This property will be a
large producer of the yellow metal this
year 1t has been looked upon for the
last two years as the coming bonanza
of Florence. The ledge is opened up
the entire length of the claim, showing
it to be d true assure vein. There are
two shafts sunk on the ledge, one 40
and the other 30 feet in depth, with
four feet of pay ore in: the bottom of
each and 200 tons of ore on the dumps.
A milling plant will be placed on this
property this summer, and the mine
will be Systematically developed. The
owner. +. ]. Mclean, is satisfied that
the Candaleria is better than the Klon-
dixie for him.
As a result of F. R. Culbertson's
visit to the Banner last week the COM
pany has decided to order two more
five-foot Huntington mills for this
mine and necessary additions to the
mill building to meet this Improvement
will be constructed in short time.
This will furnish a capacity of about 60
tons per day, without adding to cost of
running, except in the way of fuel.
The stope at present shows Is feet of
milling ore, and it is plain that a 20
ton mill is altogether too small for the
possible output of the mine. The shaft
is now nearly 100 feet below the lower
level, in rich ore, and while new
stope will be started soon, work of
sinking will be continued. thus devel-
oping the property at much greater
depth and opening the ground for
rapid extraction of ore. 1t is said that
Banner stock is entirely off the mar
ket. This shows the confidence of the
owners.
The new discovery on the Double
Standard is steadily improving as work
continues, making it one of the most
important finds of the year. 1t is said
that a hoist will be placed on the
ground and active sinking begun as
soon as Mr.. Sherman returns from
Spokane.
The owners of the Uncle Sam intend
to resume work on that valuable prop
erty in a short time. In addition to
high value in gold the Uncle Sam car
ries a large per cent of silver, mostly
black sulphurets, which runs assays
up TO 500 or more. A shaft will be
sunk on the ledge

THE MINES OF oWYHEE.
Encouraging Condition Around Sill
yer CITY, Idaho.

The Avalanche, of Silver City, Ida.
in its weekly review of the mining
news of that section, says:
Empire.-The hoist started WedneS-
day morning taking water from the
shaft. 1t is now pulling from the fourth
level, and it is expected that about
90 days will be required to clear the
mine to the sixth level, where develop
ment work will be prosecuted. Con-
siderable preliminary work was neces-
sary in and around the hoist before it
could be started, but the plant is now
in fine shape and running smoothly.
J. L. Crutcher has charge Of the work,
and he is ably assisted by Richard
Adams, the latter an experienced min
ing man from Boise basin.
Banner.-Messrs J. D. Cameron and
Sam DrOllinger have a 100-foOt contract
on the Banner mine, in Coffee gulch,
and are making good Roadway. They
are drifting north on the vein, and
have cut several nice punches of ore.
The vein is large and a cross-cut will
soon be run to the hanging wall The
owners will push work steadily.
Potosi.-The. lessees on the PotOsi
have thrown up the sponge" and quit
work. They labored necessarily and
deserved greater success, but they were
handicapped by starting work without
capital, in the dead of winter, and by
the flow of water from the melting
snow.
Trade Dollar.-This great property
is running with pleasing regularity and
its output is large. At recent visit
we noted several improvements around
the works. Coal bunkers are being
put in at the mill; the boiler room at
the Blaine tunnel has been enlarged;
the wood yard is being extended, etc.
The mill will be closed down on the
4th for the semi-annual repairs, and
to give the employees a chance to cele-
brate.
Cumberland-An Avalanche repre-
sentative visited this property on War
Eagle mountain yesterday, and found
everything running smoothly. Fore
man KleVer is doing some good work
and is keeping the mill running stead+
lily. Preparations are now being made
to resume sinking from the 2OO-foot
level.
Poorman.-This property is producing
some good ore, and its ten-ton mill is
running steadily NO admittance'
greets the visitors at the mine.
While at Flint last Saturday a repre-
sentative of the Avalanche had the
pleasure of being shown around by the
manager of the mines now in operation
there. Everything seemed to look very
encouraging for the camp, as the large
mil mas Deen partially rented and is
running daytime with ten stamps drop
ping upon ore, which we were told is
rich. The Rising Star mine,
upon which work is steadily being |
pushed, is looking very fattering, and |
the management hope to do extensive |
work on the same in the near future |
The ore from the Slopes of the third |
and fourth levels is very fine and is
being concentrated for shipment Mr.. |

Of copper, present throughout in fine
particles. II is referred TO in a homely
way as an altered porphyry," from
which horn blende in crystal form
has been eliminated by elemental
action, to be succeeded by deposits
from percolating copper solution. An
estimate is made that the crude rock
can be mined and milled on an eXtens-
i've scale at 81 per ton. The concen-
trates obtained by Mr.. Cohen must
have been worth nearly $50 per ton.
DIPS AND SPURS.
By the end of the month Kelly & Co.
will have a Acton lot of Montezuma

Manager Gardanier of the Extra SEES
sion, in Pine gulch, has let contract
for 100 feet on the main incline, which
will give it 100 feet depth.
The approach to the Swan Bemis

foot, but will be a hard proposition for
teams until the track is hardened BY

There are now 40 men on the pay
roll of the Old Jordan & Galena. With
the completion of the cyanide mill this
week the number will drop down to
about 100.

GRANT BROTHERS ROBBED.
Sluice Box Robbers Made a Heavy
Cleanup.

Baker City. Ore, June 19.-Word has
reached here from Grant Brothers
mine, on the north fork of the John
Day river, 40 miles east of Baker City,
that sluice box robbers had made
heavy cleanup in the mine on Thurs
day night.
The property is one of the biggest
placer gold producers in eastern Ore
gOn. The night shift was laid off for
repairs, and the bold thieves must have
secured several thousand dollars, as
aften the theft $1,000 was obtained
from leavings by the owners.

NEW MILLING PROCESS.
A System That Is More Efficient Than
Cyanide Reduction.

A special from Salida, Col. says:
There are now being made in this city
a series Of experiments and demon
strations of a new process for treat
ing ores If the tests made can be
carried out on large scale the in
dustry of mining low grade ores will
be speedily revolutionized.
The process was discovered and
patented by A G. Stephen of Colorado
Springs and has already attracted no
little attention from prom .nent mine
and mill men. There is as yet no mill
in the state using this process, but il is
expected that ore viii soon be located
in the -Turret district.
The process is similar TO the cyanide,
but possesses many vastly superior
points. The process is known as 1.-THE
Non-roasting Metal Extraction Pro-
cess, and is all that its name signi-
fes. All the metals are extracted by
the ore solution and the ore is never
roasted, simply crushed. The pulp is
put into watts and the most refractory
ore yet tested requires only an hour
and Is minutes to extract all meal from
the pulp. Some ore requires only 80
minutes, while the average is about 40
minutes. Not only gold is thus taken
from the ore, but silver. copper, anti
mony and sulphur. The presence of iron
or copper does not hinder the extrac-
ton OF gold as is the case with the
cyanide process. which will not sue
cesGuily treat ore that contains more
than 3 or + per cent of iron or copper
Another point is that cyanide fire.
quently requires u to 10 hours to treat
pres that by this process is reduced
in one hour.
THE CHEMICAL USED.
The chemical used is six times
stronger than cyanide and costs to
manufacture, even in small quantities,
only 2 cents a gallon. From 80 to so
cents worth treats a ton of ore. The
owners of the patent guarantee to
save 81 per cent of the values con-
tanned at a cost Of about $3.50 to SO
per ton. At that rate, with a mill ad
vantageously located, IS ore can be
mined at a good profit, while at present
the cheapest process known requires
that much for treatment.
The chemical has no effect on lead
or zinc. Wooden watts coated with lead
paint are used. another element of
cheapness. Tests further show that
ores hardest to treat by the cyanide
process are easiest treated by the
Stephens process. In the Salida gold !
belt the ores abound in iron, copper
and lime, so that the district is pc
culiarly adapted to this mode of treat !
ment Mr.. Thomas Elder OF this city |
who has extensive mining interests on |
Camera mountain, has chage of the /
matter of locating mill in the district I
and is pushing matters as rapidly as |
possible. The district presents IA splen !
did field, as there are now a great |
many properties in shape to produce
large quantities of ore that runs from /
80 to so per ton. Under present con-
ditions ore from the district cannot be
shipped and treated for less than about
$40 per ton, so it Will be readily seen
that the success of this new process
means much to the district
