reaches us of some rich strikes in its immediate territory, and of the lcca- tion of a number of claims on which already some development work has been done. On two of the claims the vein is said to have an average width of fifteen feet, all pay ore, and on the hanging wall is stringer eighteen inches wide that is said to have given some marvellous assays. I include in my notes which I send with this, a clipping from the Tucson Citizen, which tells about it.
 The advance in the price of lead will if sustained, stimulate the search for good properties of that character in Arizona. We have an abundance of good lead propositions, but our great trouble is the lack of railroad facili- ties. As a rule the ore bodies are a long way from a railroad, and unless the ore is of very high grade it will not pay the long haul. But hope is strong within us, and just as soon as we are permitted to clOthe ourselves in the robes of statehood, then keep your ear close to the ground and you will hear something drop.

A BIG TUNNEL.
How Big Gold Mines of Cripple Greek
 Are Drained of Water

MT. Donald Grant of Minnesota, who is stopping at the Adams, is at the head of the company organized some time ago to drive a big tunnel into mountain in the Cripple Creek district. Speaking of the project MT. Grant said to a Republican reporter that the work was being successfully carried on. and up to the present time three lodges carrying good values in gold had been encountered.
 The company has entered into an agreement with the claim owners and mine operators whereby it gets an in- terest in the lodges encountered in driving the tunnel. The mines in the Cripple Creek district are in most cases very wet, and the tunnel is driv- en in such way as to cut the lodges and open the water courses, thus draining the mountain of water and making the mines dry. It is a big undertaking but it is being carried out successfully.

alkaline sulphides, I must state that have not found such minute Quanti- ties to be of serious moment in the practical application of the cyanide process. When the sulphur of so,u- ble mineral combines with the cyanO- gen it does not interfere with the solu- tion of the gold, and very probablp for this reason, galena, though solu- ble. is usually quite amenable to cya- hide treatment. Zinc blende and pyr- ties are practically insoluble in cya- hide solutions.
 'In making extraction tests on ores it is important to note that an ab- normal consumption of cyanide is in variably associated with low ex- traction of precious metals. This con- sumption may be due to free acid in the ore, acid or basic salts, or ores easily soluble in the solution. The cause should at once be investigated, and the evil corrected, as far as possi- ble, before proceeding with the test. Cyanide of potassium, though a most active chemical, as easily broken up by the acids, base metals and organic matter, forming numerous perplexing compounds, while in contact with the ore changes, and in passing through the precipitation boxes. It is doubtful if the complete chemistry of these changes is fully understood, even by those who have made it careful study"

MEXICO'S NEW MINING JAW.

Mexico has adopted a new mining law as follows:
 Article 1. Upon the expiration of the three months period, fixed by article 13 of the mining law, during which the explorer only has right to acquire mining claims, no new ex- ploration permits will be recorded on the explored land, nor will notices of intended exploration work be admitted for the same ground until after the expiration of six months, during which the ground will be open and free for the acquisition therein of mining claims. In places where possession of mining claims has been obtained, ex- plorations may only be made on ground two hundred meters distant from the boundaries of those claims and in abandoned mines. In all cases the explorer must define the location and the boundaries of the ground with clearness and precision.
 i Article 2. The agents of the min ing departments shall post upon the | board of notices at their offices a CODY of all permits, notices or administra- | tive acts, referred to in article 13 of the mining law, fixing at the end of such copies the exact dates of begin- | nlng and termination of explorations Under this new law, exploration privileges cannot be renewed on min ing zones after the expiration of the first three months, until after an in | termlssiOn of six months, during which six months the land will be open to the location Of mining claims. The 1 new law corrects three abuses in the old law. First, it prevents the keep ing of lands tied up under the cover of the zone permit for years by renew ing the zone every three months Sec ond, the practice of having indifnite boundary lines for such zones is abol- ished. One cannot locate a zone with the broad statement "my zone is eight leagues square with such a mountain in the center" The new law requires that the boundary lines of each zone must be kept posted on the notice boards in the office of the mining agent of the district in which the zone is To- cated, for the inspection of any per son interested, and the permits must
 show the dates of the beginning anG ending of the three months life of the zone. Heretofore, information o1 this character was not an easy matter
 for an explorer to renew his zone:
 without any one knowing when tht three months expired.

THE USE OF CYANIDE.

A very interesting subject which is gaining prominence daily:
 In recent report issued under the auspices of the Colorado School of Mines, the following reference is made to the use of cyanide:
 The cyanide process, while gener- ally applicable to oxidized ore contain ing fine gold, is quite unsuitable to such ores, if the gold occurs partly in a coarse state; unless the cyanide is preceded or followed by amalgamation It may also be broadly stated that cop per ores are unsuitable for cyanide treatment, even with dilute solutions. l am aware that the statement has been made that dilute solutions have no effect on copper sulphides. Prac tlcal experience, however, does not con- firm this statement. Copper invaria- 1 ply passes into solution and accumu- lates until it becomes of such strength as to be precipitated on the zinc in the boxes.
 Two experiences of MT Skey of New Zealand, in this direction are to the point. Chalcopyrite and copper glance were taken by MT. Skey, crush ed, thoroughly washed, and afterward placed in 0.003 per cent cyanide so- lution for one hour. The solution be- ing tested perceptible quantity of
 copper cyanide, traces of sulphur and
 oxidized sulphur compounds were
 found in it. Sulphur of antimony is another objectionable mineral often stated to be quite unaffected by cya-
 hide solutions, although, as a matter
 of fact, it is quite soluble. It is prob
 able that in the foregoing copper and
 antimonial minerals part of the sul-
 phur combined with the potassium forming potassium sulphide that may possibly coat the gold with sulphid' film, which protects it more or less ] from the solvent action of the cyanide ''In this connection an experimen by MT. Skey is suggestive. He fount that 1 per cent solution of pure eva hide dissolved a given weight Of golt l in ten minutes, but on the addition 3 II 100000 part of sulphur Gas sul phide) to 1 per cent solution of eva
 hide, it required two hours to dissolv g the same weight in gold. While full admitting the deleterious qualities c
