The Treatment of Shines.

Mining and Scientific Press: In cy-
anide treatment of shines, w. B. Gray
holds that, as between precipitation by
charcoal or zinc, the former is the
cheapest and best. Talking from a
South African standpoint, he says: IF
you allow the cyanide of gold to flow
through charcoal at the rate of 800 gal
Ions per hour, you will get at the rate
of nine ounces of gold in your top fill
ter. The cost of charcoal in each filter
is about Is, or for each ounce of gold
saved in the filter the cost is 81 IS 4d.
By zinc precipitation, under the most
favorable circumstances, one pound of
zinc, at Cd per pound, will be consumed
for each ounce of gold. This is a cost
of Cd for each ounce of gold obtained,
Independent of all other treatments,
against 60 IS I'D by charcoal. There
are also other considerations. The gold
from charcoal precipitation is worth
from ga to ga IS per ounce, while the
gold from zinc precipitation is seldom
worth more than from eS to e3 15s
per ounce. Another point in favor of
charcoal is that it will precipitate the
gold from the weakest solution of cy-
anide, while the zinc will not satisfac-
torily precipitate unless the precipita-
tons are kept up to their working
strength. With charcoal, where it is
used, the solutions are constantly pure
and clean, while there is so much zinc
destroyed by the zinc process that the
solutions must of necessity become
heavily charged with zinc and have to
be renewed in course of time.

A Rich Old Dump.

The Herald is informed that at the
Chloride Point on Lion hill a most
pleasing revelation has been made dar-
ing the past few days and one which
will put money into the Golfers of the
company.
1t seems that one day last week,
while some of the Workmen were clean
ing away some waste near the mouth
of the tunnel, work had not progressed
very long before a nice lot of ore was
uncovered, and subsequent develop
ments disclosed the fact that this waste
was the covering of an old dump which
is now estimated to contain 10000 tons
of ore which will carry metallic values
averaging about SIS to the ton in gold
and silver.
In former days the Chloride Point
was worked principally by leasers, who
mined chiefly for the streaks of high
grade ore. for which this property is
so justly famed, the low-grade milling
mineral, which could not then be prof
itably worked by any process known,
being thrown over the dump.
The physical condition of the mine
is excellent, magnificent bodies of good
ore being exposed in the workings,
while the mill is making a good ex-
traction of values

MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE.
Episcopalian Bishops Vote Down the
Proposed Canons.

Washington, Oct. 17.-Important &C
ton was taken by the respective bodies
of the Episcopalian council here today
on two subjects which have caused
much discussion during the delibera-
lions of those two bodies.
The house of bishops by vote of 81
to "a, rejected propositions bearing on
the subject of remarriage of divorced
persons, designed to take the place of
those now in existence. The present
canons on that subject therefore re-
main in force.
In the house of deputies, after a de-
bate which was continued for several
days, a step in the direction of church
unity was taken. The discussion of
this question was precipitated by the
offering of an amendment to the con-
stitution by the Rev. DR.. Huntington
of New York.
While agreeing with the view, the
deputies finally decided to accept a
briefer amendment, offered by Mr..
Faude of Minnesota, as follows:
But provision may be made by
canon for the temporary use of other
forms and directories of worship by
congregations not already in union
with this church, who are willing to
accept the spiritual oversight of the
bishops of the diocese"
The amendment, if adopted by the
bishops. will go to the dioceses for &C
ton, and must be passed by the next
general convention before it becomes
operative.

CHANCE FOR A HOTEL.
Price Citizens willing to Donate
Land and Cash.
Especial to, The Herald.9

Especial to- The HeraldJ
Price, Utah, Oct. 1.-THE need of larger
hotel accommodations in Price was prob
ably never more keenlv felt than during
last week, when district court brought a
large number of lawyers and others in
terested in litigation to town. Several OF
the leading business men and property
owners here are willing to aid any man
or company that will come here and build
house in keeping with the other inter
estS of the town. 1t is thought 20
room house would be adequate for the
time being. and if trade increased as it
surely will, this could be added to from
time to time as circumstances warranted
Mr. Thomas Nichols and Mr.. 4. Bal
linger. both business men of Price, have
offered to substantially aid anyone who
will undertake the proposition in good
faith. as has also the j. c. Weetn Lum-
Der company. To anyone who Will build
a hotel on the principal street of the city
Mr.. Nichols offers to donate the ground;
a cash offer for which he has repeatedly
refused $500. Captain Ballinger will not
be outdone by anyone and will give a
cash bonus or a fine piece of ground,
while the Weetn Lumber company will
take stock in the enterprise or make
liberal donation along with other citizens.
Others OF the business men here will
not be backward when they see that
some man who means business engages
in the project.
Price is undoubtedly one of the best
hotel towns in the state and a hotel here
of the kind mentioned would be well
filled with travelling men, army officers
and the general travelling public.

The mine has been developed so far
by l,2OO feet of work, all of which is
in pay mineral. and although but four
men are employed steadily in the ex-
p4oration of the property, Mr. Taylor
states that in the sandstone forma ton
this force can do as much work as 20
men can perform in other mining
camps throughout the state
Mr.. Taylor has just made a payment
on the Big Indian bonds, there being
but one more to make, and this a year
hence, and by that time the mine will
either have changed hands or its ores
will be treated on the ground, as a sale
is now pending for the property, it
being the intention, if it is not con-
summated, to erect reduction works on
the ground in the spring.
Mr.. Taylor left for the mine last
night, and sometime this week he will
be followed by c. E. Loose, l. E. Ritter
and VIII Hatfield of this city, who are
interested with Mr.. Taylor in this pros

Little Pittsburg Bond.

In speaking of his bond on the Lit
tie Pittsburg group of claims, just
across the canyon south from the
Chloride Point mine and mill, C. L..
Dignowity states that he has secured
it for Wisconsin and Boston people,
the bond and option being for a period
of 80 days, the purchase price being
placed at cents a share, the stock so
far tied up being that held by the Of
ficers of the company, it being under
stood that other holders are at.liberty
to join the pool by giving in their
stock to George Dern at the Mercur Of
flee.
So far a control of the mine has not
been given in, and if this is not secured
the deal will be off at the expiration
Of the life of the option.
The wouldbe Wisconsin purchaser is
a thorough miner and mining expert,
and if the deal is consummated, as out
lined above, the property, which is
looked upon in mining circles here as
being valuable and very promising
ground, will be extensively and thor
oughly developed in the near future,
or as soon as the bond is taken up.

The call of the mining exchange yes
terday occupied an hour and twenty
minutes, and Joe Bamberger, the tenn
porary caller. signaliZed his initial eff
fort by piling sale upon sale until the
transactions figured up into goodly
figures, both as to number of shares
sold and selling values, the close finding
him so hoarse that he was hardly able
to speak
The call was full of interesting fea-
lures throughout, Bullion-Beck leading
out with the transfer of two board lots,
the closing transaction being in ad-
vance of the figures governing the first
sale. Observation-Disclosures was also
faVorite, buyer and seller being unable
to get together. Considerable sparring
was INDUCED in when Geyser-M Marion
was called, the caller expanding val
liable time in trying to effect a sale In
this security, holders obstinately hold
ing out for better figures. Eagle and
-Four Aces were in demand at the rul-
ing quotation of the previous call, but
failed to participate in the dealings OF
the hour. Mammoth was q ready seller
at $2.11 and $2.111a. Sacramento was in
earnest demand at 5715 cents, with Of
ferings at So. Sunshine held the floor
for at least quarter of an hour, dur
Ing which sales were chronicled at SO
to 65 cents, the stock being strong at
the latter figure in the bidding at the
close.
The brokers went fairly wild during
the call of Dexter, and while the gains
in the bidding drew out large amount
of this stock, ii was so strong at the
close as to surprise those who were
dealing in this security, sales being
posted at $3.50 before the close. Omaha
was strong, and so was Valeo, neither
taking any active part in the dealings
of the call. Overland was wanted at
SIPS, with offerings at 81, Chloride
Point dropping a board lot at SOP.
