MINING MENTION.

A force of miners will begin sinking
new shaft on that ground, operations
en- which will not be discontinued ver-
tically until the shaft has attained
depth of fully 1000 feet. He has con-
templated extensive developments at
the Longfellow for some time, but his
plans We're not definitely decided upon
until recently.
The new shaft will be 14X1h feet in
the clear, and will contain three COM
partments. AS the sinking progresses
other development on the claim will be
started from different levels in the new
shaft, but it is the purpose of Mr.. STRAIT
ton to drive the shaft ON the Longfel-
low 1000 feet deep regardless of what
ore bodies may be discovered while the
deep workings are being secured. 1t
is the most important new development
inaugurated on Bull hill for more than
year. and when completed will add
immensely to the value of all the sur
rounding mines in the immediate vicin-
ity of the LOngfellow. as it will. in all

of ore bodies in commercial Quantities

eral in the Logan at great depth. and

ADVANTAGES OF SORTING,
vital Necessity of Careful Examination of
Ore Pefore Milling 1t.

Undoubtedly much of the rock put
through quartz mills does not contain
sufficient value to pay for its crush
ing. while encrOaching upon the ca
pacity of the stamps which might be
employed in crushing pay rock The
question for the mine manager to de-
termine is, does the rock being sent to
mill contain waste. and If so, how and
where shall 1t be gotten rid of-under-
ground or on the surface?
In some mines the barren rock oc-
ours in large masses, interstratified.
as it We're, with pay rock. and the con-
ditions are such that the waste may be
left standing, as pillars, which to some
extent help in supporting the ground.
In others this cannot be done. and the
waste must be mined together with the
ore. Here, again, the question of sort
ing must be determined by existing
conditions. If the waste occurs in
large blocks. these may be rejected
by the miners-whO usually are able
to distinguish the difference between
waste and ore-and used as filling. If,
! on the other hand. the waste breaks
small, and. from necessity. becomes
intimately mixed with the ore. then
the sorting would be more effective, eX-
pedltious and less expensive on the
surface, where boys or cheap men
might be employed in this light work.
Where this is necessary. the cost of
tramming and hoisting has to be taken
into consideration.
As general proposition all rock
which, having reached the surface,
contains sufficient value to pay even
the cost of milling, or near 1t. should
lie crushed, as being less expensive
than sorting. Where large amounts Of
ore are crushed and the tailings are
subsequently cyanided, the crushing
and after treatment of waste rock
amounts to II large sum in the course
of year.
In the case of 1OO-stamp mill crush
ing 400 tons of rock daily at II cost of
40 cents per ton. If 10 per cent. be
waste. containing no value. then the
cost of crushing this waste would
amount In one year to $3.50, bringing
the cost of crushing the 800 tons of pay
rock daily to iif cents per ton. If the
cyanide process be subsequently en-
ployed in the treatment of the tailings
in bulk. an additional expense Is en-
tailed in direct proportion TO the cost,
as in the mill, so that 1t becomes evi-
dent that the management can afford
to cxpend the amount of the cost Of
crushing the additional waste rock in
sorting It out for II will result in ulti-
mate gain In subsequent treatment.
Generally speaking. II pays to sort
ores going to mills where crushing Is
done on large scale at low cost: but
where ores are shipped to custom mills
and smclters. where transportation
charges and treatment are high. the
reasons for careful sorting are Obvious.

A SCARCITY OF MEN,

Great Activity In Clear Creek County
Mining business is surely on the ad-
vance in Clear Creek county ard 1t is
impossible to secure miners. Many Of
the companies intending to increase
their forces have been unable to do so
because of the shortage. The Lamar
tine management is the latest to adver-
tise for men.
The mills are running to their full ca
pacity, and the output of milling ore is
in excess of any other month of this
year. Many old-time producers are
starting up. and It is reported here to-
day that the Amy G. mine on Seaton
mountain has been sold to Boston peo-
pie through John owen.
The Golconda property. up Fall river,
has a good strike to report. In the
sinking of II winZc on the Mahala lode
and mt a depth Of but fifty feet below
the adit the entire width of the winZe
has come into ore of good grade.
This will be changed to n working
shaft. and 1t is probable that the shaft
will then 20 down for several hundred
feet.
The Perkins tunnel, on Chicago creek.
is making good headway. The present
contract calls for 800 feet of crOsscut-
ting. Air drills are in use. and before
the completion of the contract II is cx-
pected that more than one of the big
lodes crossing through the Alps noun
tain will he cut by this tunnel. Some
work is also under way on the veins
already. and Indications to-day We're Of

Eject of Electricity on Trees.

A piece of information fresh
from Brussels is causing good
deal of comment in gardening
circles. 1t is announced that an
extraordinary phenomenon has been
noticed with regard to the chestnut
trees in the Avenue Louise. a popular
thoroughfare of the Belgium met
ropolis, since the installation of the
electric street railways Their foliage
begins to turn brown and drop early
in August, to bud and even to blossom
again in October. This occurrence is
all the more striking since the trees on
the opposite side of the tramway show
no such erratic inclinations. They be-
have like ordinary trees, losing their
foliage in the late fall and not putting
forth fresh blossoms until the spring.
After advancing all kinds of theories
the botanists have at length come to
believe that the cause of the novel dis
play is the electric current, which pass
es underground and stimulates the
roots of the trees. which are otherwise
quite healthy. This is quite in line
with the results attained in the stimu.
lating of Towering plants and shrubs
by the periodical application of cleo
tricity.

the Starr shaft will pay the operating
