The Twin Lakes Strike.

says the mine promises to develop into
A sensation.
More than a ton and half of ore
mas been saved from the location work
alone, which will run from two to six
ounces gold per ton. The vein has al
60 been located in place in an adjOin-
ing claim. 1t is from Is to 20 feet wide
and Mr.. Healy says every foot is min
eraliZed and the pay streak of black
copper, which gives the high values
mentioned, will average three feet in
width. The property has been bonded
by a Colorado Springs company, which
proposes to start crosscut tunnel
which it is claimed will cut vein of
good ore every $50 feet. The lessees
have secured several claims under
bond and lease. in one of which there
is Il vein of lead ore that averages SO
per ton in gold, silver and lead.

Heavy Demand for Mining Machinery,

The demand for mining machinery
has been more active during the past
two weeks than at any time this sea.
son, and at the same time there is less
machinery ready to fill orders than for
several years, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Every manufacturing estab-
lishment in the country is crowded
with orders and it is now almost i'm
possible to secure the heavier classes
Of machinery within less than ninety
days.
Yesterday there was but one air COM
pressor ready to ship in the city, and
an order for one. sent to an eastern
manufactOry, was met with the reply
that it could not be shipped for twelve
weeks. local factory sold seven
compressOrs last week and several min
ing men who laid their plans to put in
compressOrs have been compelled to
accept the situation and wait until the
machines can be made Several of the
eastern agencies in Denver have dis
posed OF nearly all their heavy ma
chinery and have lost good orders on
account of their inability to get stock.
One eastern firm has informed it's
agent that it is nearly twelve months
behind in orders, and others have de-
clined to accept any order for de-
livery under four months.

Successful Experiment.

After several years of unsuccessful
experimenting the bed of tailings at the
old English mill is worked satisfactori-
ly by the process known as chlOridiz-
ing, or roasting with sulphur and salt,
after which they are run through the
amalgamating watts. Nine tons of tail
ings are being roasted per day. with
salt and pulveriZed iron sulphurets,
obtained near Washoe City. Six men
are employed on the roasting furnace,
working three shifts. A charge of
$50 pounds is drawn from the furnace
every hour. The roasted tailings are
transferred to the amalgamating vat,
which takes $500 pounds at charge
and runs four charges per day. Two
men are working on the pans, each
working twelve hours a shift The
tailings assay fourteen ounces Of silver
and from 81 to Sc per ton in gold. OF
this it is estimated that from $S to S12
per ton is saved. Amalgam weighing
from 120 to 100 pounds is retorted
every other day.-Reno Journal.

it is possible that Ludlum elevator

remains In which work can be done,
but every effort is to be made to get
things in shape for an early start in
the spring.
The Jackson placer comprises 800
acres at the mouth of French gulch,
and is said to be one of the richest
tracts of placer territory in the Breck-
enridge district. 1t has only been
worked on the high bars, leaving the
rich channels on bedrock undisturbed,
and from tests that have been made
in various ways it is believed that it
will be one of the heaviest producers

MINING MENTION.
Wind As Aid to Mining.

An Arizona miner has suggested the
feasibility of running mining and mill
ing machinery by means of windmills.
He says:
Arrastlas and stamp batteries can be
run with windmils. Fuel is expensive
in many places. and a high velocity
OF wind prevails about thrce-fourths of
the time. A 16-foOt power mill will run
2-stamp battery, 600-pOund stamps.
and pump the water A good. practical
plant for the prospectOr is Il J-stamp
battery. with stamps of 600 pounds
each. amaigamatng plates. battery
feeder. IA 6-foOt concentrator. II water
tank. force pump and pipes of proper
size. The pump can be placed in well
800 feet distant from the mill. if de-
sired, and rope run from the wind
mill to the pump to drive it, A 2O-foot
windmill erected on a strong wood
tower. the shaftng can be placed in
the tower and the battery set about
twelve or fifteen feet distant. Any
Kind of roof or shade that will keep
out the sun and rain will do. With
such mill. ore can be worked by the
free gold amalgamatng and concen-
trating process ut an expense not eX-
ceeding 81 per ton. In our mining dis
trict there are thousands of tons Of
ore and waste Oh old abandoned
claims. II large percentage of which
will yield by this process from So to SO
per ton and upwards. Erect windmil!s
and small batteries and work these old
dumps. They are nearly all ,free-gold
ore. and a cOncentrator will not be
necessary.

THE SELECTION OF A MILL SITE
Question Whether to Locate Near Water
or Ore.

Question Whether to Locate Near Water
or Ore.
When determining upon the location
of Il mill or other machinery for the
beneficatiOn of ore the surroundings
should be studied in reference to the
economy of transportation and treat
ment The mill should be placed where
the ore can be delivered from the mine
into it's highest portion, above the bins,
without the necessity of hauling the
ore up an incline as is often seen, and
that, too, where it could have been
avoided. The mill should be furnish
ed with every mechanical device which
will reduce the expense of manipula-
tiOn to a minimum, the ore passing
from one process to another by gravity
Water is an important consideration,
and the mill must have a liberal sup
ply. Often it is a question of choice
between locating the mill near the
water and at distance from the mine
or placing the mill near the mine and
pumping water to it from lower ele-
vation. When this problem presents
Omy-which will be least expensive, to
tram the ore to the mill at the water,
or pump the water to the mill The Sc
lection Of site is also Influenced by the
topography of the ground. If good
site is Obtainable at the mine and it
would be necessary to pump the
water up to the MILL even if the latter
were located near the water. it will in
most eases be wise to build the mill at
the mine and pump the water. unless
the distance and elevation be prohib-
five. Experience has already demon
strated that large volumes of water
may be pumped many miles against
500 feet or more head at nominal ex-
pense per ton of ore treated if the
quantity be large-2OO tons or more
daily. No two situations are identical,
and these matters are wholly depend
ent upon the Judgment of the manage
ment. The economical features must
be considered, the relative cost deter
mining the proper course to pursue

They Settled.

Long before the war General Butler,
who was then struggling young law
yer, lived up in Massachusetts, manu-
featuring town. He had displayed abil-
ity at college, but had to wait the usual
number of years for his first case. At
last young girl who had worked in a
cotton mill came to him for redress
against her employers She had been
discharged without wages, and on re-
quest for three weeks wages was un-
tremendously thrust from the door.
The case looked blue, for the firm was
very rich one, but she needed money
badly She offered Ben one-haf to col
lect it.
The next morning, while on her way
to look for employment, she came upon
great gathering at crossing. She
inquired what was the matter and
learned that the factory she had left
had shut down for the first time in 80
years. Wondering what could have
brought about such state, she passed
on and presently met Butler. He was
leaning against lamppost whiting a
stick.
'Tsall right" he called, waving his
knife with a jaunty air. 'Tsall right
I've got 'eml''
