A beautiful coincidence, a handsome
young cadet, and an assistant secre-
tary OF the treasury, were the prin-
cipals In q little drama OF true love
that has just come to its conclusion
In New York. The cadet, II. l.. Peter

class OF 10 last June in the oompeti-
tive examinations for appointment to
the assistant paymastership created
BY the exigencies Of the war. Peter
son had no strong backing, however,
and in spite of his high average was
not appointed. While the Chase was
stationed at one of the ports of the
Atlantic seaboard, the young officer
met Miss Charlotte Bowes. whose
stage name is Charlotte Crane. The
girl is talented and beautiful and
young Peterson promptly fell in love
with her. She reciprocated his affec-
ton, and the pair had arranged to mar
ry upon the graduation of the cadet
this summer. Their courtship had
been necessarily carried on largely by
correspondence. The most was made
OF the few precious days when Miss
Cranes company was In the town
where young Peterson was stationed.
His unwillingness to be separated from
her on those occasions led to a scene
In Charleston, S. c., year ago, that
was widely noticed. The young OFF,
Ger was invited to attend the ball Of a
military college in Charleston and
bring a lady. He appeared with Miss
Crane. Her beauty at once created a
sensation. and inquiries as to her iden.

women OF Charleston. the most exclu-
sive Of southern cities, learned that
Cadet Peterson's companion was An
actress they became indignant that
member OF that profession should be
allowed to participate In function
diEnined by their presence. and de-
manded that Miss Crane be excluded
from the ballroom. The men took up
Miss Cranes cause and threatened to
leave In body II she was required to
10 away. There are those who say
that this incident caused policy OF
severity which almost drove young Pc
terson to insubordination. 1t would
be dificult to prove this. 1t is not
even known what his actual offense
was, though there is a report that he
rebelled because he was ordered to
San Francisco, there to take service

waste rock or for the opportunity to
treat 1t for the owner. A few days
ago it was reported that at least four
big mills were In course Of construction
or were contemplated for the district.
Since that time word has come to
hand that the number of contemplated
mills has increased until not less than
seven projects Of this character are be-
ing figured upon. Some Of these are
for the purpose Of treating the ore
mined from the owners own property.
and are not intended as custom mills
Some are not meant for the treatment
of low grade mineral. The majority,
however. have this object In view,
and at least two Of the promoting
companies are already in the field bid
ding for the work of treating the ore
in the dumps Of the camp or obtaining
options to buy the dumps outright.

A MILL AT BARE HILLS.

suceessful Operation of = CyasiAs P1ant.
1t can now be authoritatively stated
that cyanide plant is in successful
operation in Bare Hills. For three
months the camp has been holding its
breath awaiting the outcome OF the
Junior Order mill, feeling that on II,
in great measure, depended the solu-
ton of the low grade problem Of tho
district. IL cyanide in practical work
ing could make 1t commercially profit
able to produce 81 ore then the camp
felt that it had not struggled along
three years for nothing-that it would
derive some return for labor and mon
ey spent Ii, on the other hand, 1t was
conclusively shown that the low
grades could not be profitably handled,
then the camp wanted to know II SO
that ii could pack its burros and strike
| out for some new Ell Dorado. Conse-
quently the Junior Order mill was
the cynosure of all eyes, the Mecca Of
all prospectors. And the result was q
success, therefore Bare Hills is duly
elated.
The test run was made about two
weeks ago, and a cleanup has been
made. While the owners, beyond
stating that they secured an extrac-
| ton Of 50 per cent, decline to give
/ out exact figures, they claim the re-
| suits were better than anticipated,
and this is borne out by the increased
| activity about the premises and the
preparations for a much larger run.
They admit that the cost of production
was a little under 81 per ton, and
enough is known of the average val
ues of the dixie to place the returns of
the cyanide extraction at about So per
| ton
4 The ore is taken from twenty-foot
| dlabase dixie, which is all mineralixed
and averaging from s. TO s. by assay.
The plant is built so close to the shaft
| that it is Necessary to tram the ore
/ but about thirty or forty feet and
| dump it onto the crusher floor. 1t was
feared that water would be a perplex-
ing problem, but the old shaft fur
nished plenty and to spare. The cyan
| ide solution, after running through
the precipitating boxes, is discharged
into stump from whence it is pumped
back into the charging tank, reQuir-
| ing the addition of but a small guam
tity of cyanide to bring it back to the
proper strength, thus economiZing the
| consumption of water in a large de-
gree, as well as cyanide.

VALUABLE ORE DUMPS.
Proposed to Erect Mills to Save the Gold
at Cripple Greek.

Proposed to Erect Mills to Save the Gold
at Cripple Greek.
Owners of dumps in the district are
receiving offers to sell or for the oppor-
tunity to treat the dump lot at so
much per ton. Competition In the new
field has already manifested itself, and
representatives of at least two of the
projected low-grade mills are bidding
for the business of treating the rock
Of the Cripple Greek district dumps.
Attention has in this column several
times been called to the great wealth
In these dumps. 1t was estimated
some time since that the gross bullion
value OF the mineral contained in them
would reach the handsome sum total
of not less than $50 100000. This es-
innate is based upon their being al
least 100000 tons Of rock, and that
the average value is S. to the ton. The
figures, II anything, are low. The to
tai is three times as much as was paid
for the great Independence mine. and
several millions more than was pro
duced by the district In the past two
years. Nevertheless. until lately but
little attention was paid to this great
wealth. 1t being generally regarded as
discarded rock. never to be realized
upon.
or late, however. the dumps Of the
district have claimed the attention OF
investors. and all the time now compe-
tition is becoming more manifest

A CHANCE FOR MINERS.
The Smelter Combine Is Bidding High fol
Ore.


The Rocky Mountain News says:
The expected movement ON the part
of the recently organized $65, OOO. 900
smelling combine against the indie
pendent companies is under way. Bet
ter contract terms than offered here
tofore to miners are now put forth In
hopes that the miners will turn their
ore over to the combine in preference
TO those firms on the outside. BY this
means 1t is hoped to leave the indie
pendents without material to work
upon. Another part of the scheme ia
to put up the price of silver, though
this feat is hardly regarded as posi-
BILE by experienced mining men, as the
combine can hardly control more than
two-thirds of the output in the United
States. 1t exercises no influence what
soeyer on the product of Soe other
countries of the world.
The fact that some such an action
would be taken by the trust immedi.
ately after the details of the organ.
ization had been arranged has already
been pointed out. and when the facts
became known yesterday they caused
not so much surprise as might have
been expected. A prominent official OF
the Independent companies said:
1T is very natural to expect some
such a move. In fact. we have been
looking for ii. Just what we will de
in the matter am as yet not prepared
to say"
One of the first contracts under the
new order Of things was signed with
Leadville leasing company BY pur
chasing agent. former Governor james
II. Grant, three days ago. The Lead
vile company has an output OF be-
tween 200 and $50 tons daily. This
contract. which discloses the first blow
at the independent companies, allows
full value for all gold in the ore, and
makes the treatment charges SO cents
lower than they were in former con-
tract. Just what these concessions
amount to will be recognized when II
is recalled that heretofore the practice
of smelters in this state has been to
ignore all gold in ore when 1t assayed
less than 81 ton. In the new Lead.
Vile contract the miners will reap q
substantial benefit so long as the con.
tract and the fight with the independ'
