ore in his group of mines at Mineral

Frank Austin has been quarrying
stone at the Metcalfe quarry west of
town this week to be used to line the
fire box of the new boilers which are
being placed in position at the Ten
nessee mine at Chloride, says the King

the same purpose at the Mollie Gibson
mine. and Superintendent Grant is of
the opinion that it stands heat better
than fire brick The quarry on the
Metcalfe land is inexhaustible and the
use of this stone as a substitute for
fire brick will make an industry for
Kingman.

A new pneumatic cyanide process.
known as the johnson process. consists
of expressing the water out of the
shines, obtained from the mills by
means of a filter press. displacing the
moisture and soluble cyanocides in the
filter cakes formed in the press. by cy-
2nide or potassium solution. The press
is opened and the cakes of shines drop
ped into a vortex mixing vat, contain
ing cyanide of potassium solution,
which is arranged so that air can be
drawn into the vortex, facilitating the
working of the cyanide. After the
proper amount of cake and cyanide So
luton have been placed into the mix
ing vat, the agitator having been pre-
viously set in motion. the gold is
brought into solution. The shines are
passed through a valve into Il second
receiver and forced into the teaching
press. The gold leaves this press in so
luton and is run over boxes containing
fine zinc. precipitating the gold in
metallic form. The cyanide containing
gold that may be left in the filter cakes
IS diSnlaced by pure water.

Prosperity continues to smile undis-
mayed upon the hill-girded camps of
Hanover and Santa Rita, says the Al
buquerque Journal-Democrat. Not a
day passes but what new shafts are
sunk and new claims located, until it is
said there is hardly a foot of ground
between Hanover and Copper Flat that
is not staked off. In spite of this vast
amount of prospecting it is safe to say
there are acres and acres in the more
remote parts of the Hanover district,
containing good copper leads, upon
which the foot of man has never trod.
New faces arrive in the district every
day and Ernests hotel and road house

of them from st. Louis and
Iowa City comprising the Santa Maria
Copper Mining and Milling company
have been in the district for several
weeks and have secured leases on eight
properties at a total outlay of $4,000.
In the party are DR.. Crane, promi-
nent physician of Iowa city and Mining
Promoter King. who is also manager
for the company. There is scarcely q
man among them who is not the owner
of n good sized fortune. and their fu-
lure operations in the district are eH-
pected to amount to something more
than ordinary.

PUNISHMENT IN THE NAVY.
Inmates of Cells Request Services of
Attorney in Their Behalf

George F. Ormsby, formerly of the
navy, but now at attorney, was given
leave to file in the court of claims to-
day an entirely novel petition, which
is likely to form the basis of a scandal
He claims that some sailors in confine-
ment in Boston, serving out sentences
of court martial, passed out of the bars
of their cells an application to him re-
questing his services as an attorney in
their behalf. He does not know the
names of the men nor the character
of their sentences, as it is claimed the
navy department, in accordance with
what is charged to be a custom. sup
pressed the application and merely re-
ferred it to the attorney general. For
this reason the attorney files his petit
ton by means of the usual legal fiction
as Richard Roe and the court permit
ted him to do this because ne did not
know the names of the men.
The attorney was refused permission
to examine the record of the court mar
tial, and he asserts that under the
naval regulations enlisted men are not
furnished with copies of the charges
against them when they are arrested,
as required Dy law, ana are not per-
mitted to have counsel either before
or after the court martial Mr. Orms
by now proposes to file a motion for
an order on the navy department by
the court to produce a copy of the
communication from the prisoners, and
it is believed this will bring out the fact
that enlisted men under present regu-
lations in the navy are being severely
punished without any adequate OPP
portunity to answer the charges made
against them by their superior officers.

CYANIDING.
A New Process for Preparing Acid
Ores

A Salt Lake man has just been grant
/ ed patent for preparing acid ores. or
! tailings for treatment by the cyanide
/ process, and miners consider the in
Vention. or discovery. one that will be
OF great value to all those sections of
the country producing ores that are
worked by the cyanide process.
The method. briefly described by the
inventor, is a very simple one and a
very economical one, and while nell
traliZing the acids that have hitherto
fouled the cyanide solution, it increases
the percentage of extraction, and, TO
an extent that is astonishing, dimin-
ishes the amount of cyanide required
for teaching.
The secret of the whole process is
nothing more than the intelligent ap
plication of plain chlorate of lime af-
ter the ores containing arsenides, sui
phideS, etc, have been roasted just
enough to decompose those properties.
This can be done very cheaply and
quickly and without the loss of gold.
No attempt is made after roasting to
remove the sulphates. arsenates, etc,
by heat, but the lime treatment is at
once applied. The inventor, who has
for a long time operated a cyanide
plant at the Wilson mines, Pine Grove,
Nevada. has treated and is now treat
ing successfully the ores by his meth
cd, the extraction ranging from So to
95 per cent of the gold contents of the
ores. With these ores in raw state, 60
per cent of the gold was extracted with
a loss of IS to % pounds of cyanide of
potassium per ton of ore treated with
potassium cyanide alone. By the use
of the Smith method" upon the raw
ore, the same extraction was obtained
with a loss of three pounds of cyanide
of potassium per ton Of ore treated

BATOPuAS MINES.
Short Description OF a Great Silver
Property.

Grant Shepherd and J. c. Shepherd,
sons of \. r. Shepherd. owner OF the
large native silver mines at Batopilas,
Chihuahua. Mexico. recently paid a
visit to this country.
The mines at Batopilas arc the most
famous in Mexico as silver producers,
and since 1899. when the mines were
acquired by \. Z. Shepherd, over S.
OOO eco has been taken out. Most of the
ore in the three mines San Miguel,
Roncesvalles and Todos Santos. is
found in pockets ard runs very high.
Very little of the low grade ore has
been worked on account of the great
difficulty in getting it out and the re-
turns did not warrant. But an i'm
mense tunnel, the Porfirio Diaz, over
SEQ feet long, finished last April, was
constructed at the river level, which
crosses the two main veins and brings
the low grade ore out at the mouth Of
the ore bins near the mill and it is now
worked to some profit.
With the present forty-stanlp mill
about eighty tons of low grade ore is
taken out in twenty-four hours. 1t
is the intention of Mr.. Shepherd to in
crease the capacity of the mill to
hundred stamps. and they will then be
able to turn out nearly two hundred
tons of low grade ore. Over one thou
sand men are employed in the mines.
The reduction works, compressor,
electric works and foundry are all run
by water power, and in fact everything
connected with the mine is run by wat
Ell. At an enormous expense Mr.. Shep-

MINING NOTES.

Ed. Blocks luck seems to stay with
him, says the Prescott Courier. His
last streak of good luck is a streak of
stephanite brittle silver ore recently
encountered on the 120-foot level of the
First Home mine. in which Mr.. Block
is interested. AS stephanite carries
6S.5 per cent silver it will be seen that
mining such ore is almost like taking
out the coin itself.

ent of the Azurite, is in Tucson. He

EDNA MAYS JEWELS.

Miss Edna May has evidently added
largely to her stock of jewelry within
the past few months. Not only does
she wear her famous pearl dog collar
with diamond slides. but with this she
shows q splendid coIlet necklace of
single stone diamonds, from which
hangs an enormous heart shaped pen
dant of diamonds with huge square
sapphire in the middle. Across the
front of her decOllette black bodice
there are strewn quite a collection of
sparkling gems-a diamond hilted dag
ger. four large stars. a broad flower
spray and various other attractive de-
signs of the jewelers. art glitter in dia-
monds. rubies and sapphries on the
front of her gown. Bracelets galore
deck her wrists, and she evidently is
cultivating a fondness for turquoises,
for she wears some splendid ones on
her hands, while a large stone set with
diamonds fastens her waistband at the
back. Miss Edna May looks as pretty
as possible and still exercises a weird
fascination over the "Johnnies" of
English society. Sad as it is to relate,
however, 1 am afraid the English eli
mate suits her a little too we'll She
has lost a good deal of that almost pa
thetic expression that used to be one of
her great charms, while also she is not
by any means as slim as she used to be.
