condition for cyanide, but if possible
roasting should be avoided, as it not
only increases the cost, but produces a
salt that consumes more cyanide.
In regard TO consumption of cyanide
copper is the worst of all metals, be-
cause copper and its compounds use
up too much cyanide IN dissolving
them. Five per cent of copper will
consume so much c-anide as to make
the process useless. There are a few
exceptions to this where a high per
cent of copper proved a success, be-
cause it existed in such a rare condi-
ton that the cyanide did not attack it.
Too much clay or tale will also make
the process too slow for profit For
low grade ores the maximum amount
required is four pounds to the ton of
ore.
The use of cyanide has been a sue
cess in Cripple Creek; Little Johnnie.
at Leadville; Boulder county; Camp
Floyd, Utah, a few places in CalifOr-
MIA, New Zealand and South Africa,
where S50,000000 a year is saved by
this process, but comparatively speak
ing its success is so limited that a rigid
test should be made on ores before it
is applied. If this is needed it may
save mine-owners and investors from
the folly of erecting failures in the
shape of plants. because someone said
cyanide was a great success somewhere
else. No mining camp can afford a
failure; it takes a long time to wipe it
out. while one success is the best adj

that his company intends going right
on with the work of developing the
claim. He expects, however, that the
matter will come up in the courts be-
fore long, as he retained Attorney F.
K. Nebeker yesterday. who, with At
tOrney Weber of Ogden, will have
charge of his side of the case. AS soon
as the matter is decided a large force
of men will be put to work on the

shown us from that quarter. There is
no doubt but what time will prove
that the rich veins run clear through
the wonderful hill, northeast from the
DE Lamar works and those who perSe-
we're in their work in that direction are
sure to realize their expectations.
The work still goes on at the Gold
Eagie, but the ore chimney that was
struck in the shaft has not vet been
encountered in the new tunnel, al
though some so or 60 feet of fairly good
ledge matter has been cut through
The lessees are somewhat disappointed
but are still pushing work on the tun-

day.
The April Fool properties are looking
better than ever and the mill was kept
steadily at work until the main water
pipe froze from the exceedingly cold
weather. The works viii all start up
again shortly and everything will be
running smoothly on those rich dig

THE ALLIANCE CONSOLIDATION.
New Mill In Contemplation For the
Silver King

In its write-up of the news of the
camp, the Park Record says:
A meeting of the stockholders of the
Alliance Mining company has been
called for the 26th of this month in Salt
Lake. The Record learns that at this
meeting the terms of Incorporating the
Alliance ground in the proposed Ores
t-Wasatch- Boss-Alliance consolida-
ton will come up for consideration, and
that two plans will be presented. One
is to sell the Alliance outright at so
much a share, and the other is to throw
the company's property into the new in
corporation and accept so much stock.
1t is thought that at this meeting
plan will be agreed upon which will be
satisfactory all around, and that the
new company will surely be formed.
As the time of redemption on that part
of the Crescent which was sold last
fall expires on March 8, no time can
be lost after the Alliance meeting. and
1t IS thought none will be, as the other
interests in the deal are practically
agreed.

LOST MONEY ON THIS DEAL.
Moses and Twitchell Found Fort Popham
Property Improbable.

Augusta, September 2.-One of the un-
nrotitable investments of the Bath gentle
men who have got into financial straights
was the purchase of the Fort Popham
property. Galen @. Moses, Fritz
Twitchall and two or three others with
them bought it of Hon. p. o. Viekery
of this city, paying him $50, 900. Half the
payment was made in cash and the bal
ance in $500 notes, one payable each year
for ten yeara. When the first became due
with the interest the gentlemen who gave
them took all the notes up as they were
found scattered about in other hands.
They got the money by giving other notes
which they placed In one of the banks.
Since acquiring the property it is csti-
mated that the property has cost the own
ers $50, 900 additional in repairs. improve
ments, etc., and that MIR. Moses and Mr..
Twitchell are in this enterprise to the
extent of $751; 900 each.
The Fort Popham enterprise WAS started
by Augusta gentlemen who erected hotels
ahd made improvements. 1t originally
included an Ice privilege which was
operated for a while and then discon-
tinued. The Investment turned out to be
an Improbable one and Mr.. Vickery took
the property at low figure from the
other parties interested with him, and con-
Quoted the hotels until he sold to the

AN ANGLo-GERMAN ALLIANCE.

London, September IA report was
current here today that treaty OF ALI
ance between Great Britain and Germa-
ny, on the lines of the speech OF Mr..
Joseph Cham berlain, the secretary OF state
for the colonies, was actually completed
today. This is probably an amplification
of the gossip relative to the daily visits
of Count Won Hatzfeldt- ildenburg, the
German ambassador here, to the British
foreign office during the past fortnight,
which have been attributed to desire
upon the part of Germany and Great Brit
ain to formulate common policy In re-
gard to Russia and China.
Another explanation of the German
AMBASSADORS visits to the foreign office
Is that they relate to the mixed tribunals
of Egypt, the International agreement on
the subject ending in February. Through
French and Russian influence the court
has always hampered the British plans for
the use of the Egyptian savings and the
advancement of Egypt. Now, 1t is said.
an agreement has been almost reached by
which Germany will support the British
views as to the future composition and
powers of the mixed tribunals.
1t is said that as quid pro quo for Ger
many's support in Egypt Great Britain
will recognize Germany's claim to uti-
lie Syria as an outlet for her surplus
population.

Admission, Alabama, this morning.
Gen. Breckenridge has determined to
learn the full truth about the hospital
situation at Camp Thomas and has begun
vigorous Investigation. If 1t is proven
that any person or persons are guilty Of
negleot and mismanagement they will
be punished accordingly.
Six prominent Chatanoogans, four of
them physicians have preferred charges
against Major Hubbard, surgeon of the
Och New York. They charge him with
being responsible for the death Of Ser
geant Frank, who was struck by train
few days ago.
1t is claimed that Major Hubbard
caused the removal of Sergeant Frank
when his life might hove been saved by
keeping him quiet, and that when other
physicians expostulatsd with him, he
used language unbecoming any gentle
man and an officer. A court martial is
demanded.
