Mining Notes.

Mineral county has built n road to
Red Mountain In encouragement of
the prospectors who are now hard at
work on the wide gold veins in that
section The success of the Dick Oar
ling mill Is certain to arouse interest
in the district.
Some of the old smelling plants at
Golden are being examined by parties
who are looking for site and the peo-
pie of the town are wondering If the
wheels of time are to be turned back
again Once Golden was the chief
smelling point in the state.
A number Of mining men were pres
ent ut n trial run of West Creek sand
stones through II Halt process n few
days ago. A button of $50 value was
taken from the plates after the run,
but the watchers We're not fully con-
vinced that the gold came from the
rock. even after they had nnalyzed the
solution with which the ore Is first
treated. There Is. however Il general
hope that the process will do all that
is claimed for 1t.

about five miles above Encampment. in
the mountains has made rich discov-
cry of gilsonitc in North Park. just
over the line In Colorado. He made
the discovery many years ago. but did
not know It's value until recently, when
his attention was again called to the
deposits by accident. The North Park
discovery appears TO be vein about
four feet thick at this time, though 1t
is expected when opened up 1t will be
found to be in large body.
The formation in which vein occurs
has little to do with the value of its ores.
The condition of the wall rocks. how
ever, is sometimes an indication which
may guide the miner in his search for
ore When the vein occurs In rock

effect on II vein. but rich veins exist
which may have no dykes near thcm.

DEADWooD MINERAL FIELDS.
Attention OF Old Colorado Miners At
tracted to Them


G. w. Temple state auditor of Colo.
RADIO, has been in Deadwood several
days looking over the newly discovered
district of phonoite located west of
that city three miles. He has mined for
several years in the Cripple Creek dis
trict. in Colorado. and is Informed on
the phonolitic formation of that camp.
He examined the formations of the
Deadwood district carefully and stated
freely that the resemblance between
the two districts was exceedingly close,
in fact the formations We're identical
He took back with him to Denver guam
titles of the formation and ore and will
have assays made to determine the
value. He is enthusiastic over the fu-
ture of this phonolitc belt, should the
results of present exploitation turn out
as good as expected. This Deadwood
phonolite district Is sixteen miles long
and four miles wide, or four times as
large as Cripple Creek. Sylvanite ore
has been found in several places and
there Is renson to expect great boom
In the camp this season. Many Colo
RADIO men are coming into the hills and
phonollte is the principal thing sought
by them

A Mountain of Manganese.

The uncovering of n solid mountain
of native ferro-nickel manganese at
Durango iron mountain, Mexico, has
created great excitement throughout
the republic. Tradition has it that this
enormous mass of native metal is an
aerolte that fell from the sky centuries
ago. 1t is more than 800 feet high, half
n mile wide and more than a mile in
length, and is estimated to contain
more than 500,000O00 tons above
ground. 1t is worth S4S5 ton. a roll
ing mill with two large blast furnaces
is now nearly completed to work on
this mass of native metal. and already
five ears of ferro-nickel manganese are
being shipped daily from Durango to
the United States and Europe.
