The Mines of Sumpter.

The town of Sumpter is situated about
a miles from Baker City, in eastern Ore
gon. Judging from reports contained IN
the Baker City Republican that place ls
quite likely to be eclipsed by Sumpter as
n mining town. At Baker City the gold
is said TO lie in pockets, few and far be-
tween. When a bunch of rich ore has been
found it may be worked out and con-
siderable time elapse before another Is
found. Mining in such a district is al
ways uncertain and not very attractive 10
monied men. But at Sumpter the condl-
tions are said to be altogether diHerent.
The ore is in solid. continuous bodies, and
some of the mines have been sunk to a
considerable depth. 1t Is claimed that ALL
or nearly all, of them have improved IN
the lower levels. Statements are not
wanting that every mine in the district
that has gone down more than 200 feet has
become a divdend-payer.
The ore is described as comparatively
easy of treatment. which is, of course, a
very important point in favor of the dis
trict. Many deals are reported and 1t is
said that Spokane mining men are taking
an active interest in the development of
various properties located there.

CLEANING OUT A BIC FLUE.
Calcine Dust Immunes Are
Wanted for the Work.
Is A WARM UNDERTAKING
Management of the Works Has Diff
Guilty Getting Enough Men Who
Have Calcine Dust and
Heat to Fight.

Calcine dust immunes are wanted at
the lower works. Men are required who
can work in a heated atmosphere where
the dust is thick and the light bad.
big flue at the lower works is being
cleaned and the cleaning thereof is an
undertaking that is proving bothersome
to the management The flue is 600 feet
long and runs up the hill to big stack.
Occasionally it, like any other f1ue,
must be cleaned. The cleaning time has
arrived and force of men is employed
on the work.
To clean the flue the men have to en-
ter and crawl up it's sloping floor. scrap
ing out calcine dust, charged as it is
with copper and antimony. The bricks,
long heated, are slow in parting with
their heat and lend to the air of the
fue a great heat.
Some men can stand working in the
flue only two hours, while others last
three hours. 1t has been found almost
impossible to secure men for the work.
Assistant Superintendent Nell is con-
stantly in search of laborers who will
undertake the work.
Cleaning the flue has necessitated the
shutting down a portion of the works,
but has not affected materially the total
number of men employed.
Considerable new machinery is to be
installed soon at the works. but there
is difficulty in securing this machinery
from the factories making it, for all the
makers of mining and smelling ma
chinery in the country are heavily load
ed with orders.

from the amount of sulphur in given ore
might be more than ample to smelt or
fuse the charge, the practical metallur-
gis; appreciates the cooling effect of ever
a hot blast, and the fact that much of the
heat generated in the furnace is necessar-
lily carried off as soon as generated. The
heat produced from sulphur is of a very
instantaneous or volatile nature. whilst
a metal like copper is very easily cooled
after its sulphur contents are reduced.
''The heat derived from coke is, on the
other hand. of a more concentrated and
stable character Furthermore, the mix
ture of a little coke in a furnace charge
is a great aid towards diffusng the blast
through the charge, thereby Fastening
the smelling operation. In fact. it is
scarcely practicable to operate a blast fur
mace without some amount of coke,
though a good hard charcoal in a much
larger amount can sometimes be substi-
tuted
"In order to minimize the cooling ef-
feet of the blast, it must be heated by
means of the stove above referred to. the
maximum temperature thereby impaired
to the air being from 600 to 800 degrees
Fahrenheit.
"The 2h per cent. of coke needed for
the furnace charge is almost an insigniti-
cant item, and as the heating of the not
blast stove can be effected with from
to per cent. of any other kind of fuel,
it will be apparent that pyritic smelling

Old MonteZuma Camp,
From the Denver News.


In the Montezuma and Rathbone sec
tons of Summit county there is a marked
Improvement in the mining line over last
season. The fact that there is a market
for heavy zinc ores is making the resi-
dents there look up their zinc mines,
which have been neglected for the lead
silver ore producers. A number of new
strikes have been made since the first of
the year; these and the regular old pro-
ducers will swell the output of smelling
ores of that section to handsome fig
ure
Paul Egin is operating the Climax and
last week shipped car of high grade
silver-lead ore to the Kilton sampler at
Breckenridge.
Frank H. Fuller is also a shipper from
his lease, sending trial car of ore to
the kilton.
The Humphrey smelter people have two
shifts at work on the Silver Wave and
Silver King mines breaking the zinc and
other ore. They are reftting the old mill
and are putting it in shape to handle the
zinc-lead ores of these mines. The zinc
ore when separated is sent to the zinc
smelter at Upland. Ind.
Ex-County Commissioner Dick Hall is
busy with his mining interests and has a
shipper that runs well in lead which car
rie.; about 100 ounces of silver to the ton.
He shipped a carload to the Kilton sam
pier during the week.
The Pennsylvania is working good
force and is making regular shipments to
the Denver smeters. They started up the
concentrating mill on Saturday. The mill
is equipped with crusher rolls, four siz-
ing screens and improved jigs. The sec
ond class ore when concentrated makes
al excellent shipping grade
The Ohio property, which adjoins the
Pennsylvania. has starter work with
good force At present development is the
order of the day.
Besides the mines named there are a
number of properties working small
forces in the horseshoe" part of that
rich silver-lead district.
In an interview with Manager w. h.
Passmore of the Kiton sampler, after a
visit to that section, he stated that If
the Colorado & Southern railway would
complete the track on the Keystone spur
to the end of the grade it would enable
number of shippers to handle their low
er grade ores at a profit instead of hav-
ing to send it over to the dump, and
would lead to increased traffic for the
road" With additional railroad facilities
and an up-to-date concentrating mill the
Montezuma- Rathbone section would make
a regular and heavy shipper of smelling

Mining Items From Granite.

The Philiusburg Mail of the 4th inst.
has number of interesting mining notes.
Among other things it is stated that N.
B. Ringing. superintendent of the Hope
mIne has been retired and the entire
force laid off. IT is to be hoped, though,
that the mine will soon resume opera
tions
A number of bullion shipments are re-
ported, including one three bars from the
Hope, the result of the cleanup prior to
the shutdown, two of three bars each
from a weeks run of the Sweet Home
mill on Cuno ore, and one of 81 bars,
weighing 150 pounds each, by the Granite
company.
The Mail also reports considerable ac-
tivity in the Dunkleberg district. The Up

the Crimmons property and the Irene are
all reported as looking well. A carload Of
rich ore is said to have just been shipped
from the Irene. The copper property of

assays running 80 per cent in copper, with
a considerable quantity of ore ready for
shipment
Taken as a whole. Granite county seems
to be looking fairly well, about the only
unfayorable feature being the closing of
the Hone mine As this mine has always
been an irregular producer, there may be
much foundation for the confidence ex-
pressed that the shutdown will be only
temporary.

for some extensive developments. Ship
ments made last year brought favorable
results.
The tie-up in Colorado consequent
upon the smelter strike still continues.
The board of arbitration made a recon-
mendation that was in the nature of a
compromise From this distance it looks
as if the men were willing to accept it,
but the smelling companies have thus
far declined absolutely. They insist that
any increase of wages will necessitate
a raise of charges for treatment that
will close many low grade mines. This
is denied by the men, and there the
matter stands.

MINING MATTERS AT LIBBY.
Fisher Creek Lode, South Bend and Mon
tana, and Levenworth Placers.

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Libby, Aug. 5.-The machinery for the
Fisher Creek Mining company's mill
has all arrived in Libby and is now
being taken up to the mine on the
West Fisher The sawmill, which was
taken up about 10 days ago, has been
put in place and is now cutting out
lumber for the different buildings
which will have to be erected. A force
of carpenters has been engaged and
these will at once commence to use
the lumber as fast as it is cut, and
everything will be done to get the work
we'll under way before the rainy sea-
son sets in. The mill will have 10
stamps and will be fed from the mine
by an aerial tram about quarter of
a mile long. The power at present
being used to run the sawmill will
be used for the stamp mill as soon
as it is in place, but later a water
system is to be put in. The company
has an ample water right for this pur-
pose and the desire to save time is
the only reason for not using il at
this time.
This company has been organized
under the laws of Iowa and Montana
and there are $500 shares at a par
value of $40 a share. The offieers of
the company are: Edwin Anderso IN,

acquired the properties known as the
