years, says the Bingham, Utah, Bulle-
tin, breast of shipping ore between
four and five feet wide, was encounter
ed this week, and the output at present
keeps two teams busy hauling. Mana
ger Allen confidently expects that this
strike will develop into something big,
and c. H. Lashbrook, the owner, is ac-
cordingly elated. A shipment of ore
will soon be made.
Since the sale of the Centennial-Eur
eka mine at 100000, says the Mann
moth, Utah, Record, an intense activity
has been awakened in the search for
other bonanzas all along the same ore
zone far to the north. In this connec-
ton it may be said that the jefferson
Mining company's deal is still pending
with probability of soon passing into

Speaking of Cripple Greek as affected
by the smelter strike, Critics letter in
the Mining Investor, says: THE
output from the Cripple Creek
district last year was a trife over $15,-
100000 and this year (seven months) it
has already reached very close to 49,
100000, so that if the smeters continue
closed until the end of the year and the
monthly production is only as much as
1t was in July the years output will be
as great as it was in 1898. The Cripple
Creek district is very fortunate in hay
In
at its back and call and it is undoubt-
eddy due to the good work of these
plants, which, in a large measure, has
permitted of the production being kept
up, which has made the stock market
so strong and so active through all the
trouble"
A special from Cripple Creek to the
Denver News, says: Another
strike has been made in the
Pinnacle company's Lansing mine.
This newest strike appears to be richer
than any other of the remarkable finds
that have been made in the mine. In
the slopes in the 100-foot level there
was encountered yesterday a two-foot
streak of very dark quartz. The lowest
assay taken across the two feet shows
value of 102 ounces. A conservative
estimate of the value of the two feet is
200 ounces to the ton. This ore will be
saved separate from the remainder of
the Lansing product. While there has
been rich streak in sight in the sec
ond level, the ore from it was not saved
separately from the rest. Because of
the width of this new rich strike the
lesSees feel warranted in sorting it into
different grade from the bulk of the
ore. n station was cut to-day at
depth of lis feet in the Lansing shaft.
Sinking continues and as soon as the
men are down few feet further the
third level will be begun"
The Denver News states that ore
shipments from Gilpin. county continue
to show their regular monthly increase,
regardless of the Smelter strike or a
lack of cars. the shipments for the
month of July showing 267 cars or 1910
tons, an increase over the same month
of last year of 476 tons. The same pa
per announces that considerable guam
titles of ore are being shipped from
Crpede to the Guggenheim snelter at
Pueblo.
1t is reported that large outcrops of
copper bearing material have been dis
covered east of the CorteZ district and
Il miles east of the Eureka & Palisade
railroad, in Nevada. From the same
source it is learned that at a camp so
miles south of Battle mountain on the
Battle Mountain 4 Austin railroad, in
RaVenwoOd district, several locations
have been made that show from ID to
IS per cent copper. So to $40 in gold
and about so ounces silver. This last
find is not far from Old Jersey district,
that produced thousands of tons of high
grade lead ore in former days.-Salt

After several years of unsuccessful
experimenting. the bed of tailings at
the old English mill is worked salts
factorily by the process known as
chloridizng, or roasting with sulphur
rlNS u,
through the amalgamating watts. Nine
tons of tailings are being roasted per
day, with salt and pulverized iron sui
phurets obtained near Washoe City.
Six men are employed on the roasting
furnace, working three shifts. A charge
of $50 pounds is drawn from the fur
mace every hour. The roasted tailings
are transferred to the amalgamating
vat, which takes $500 pounds at a
charge, and runs four charges per day.
Two men are working on the pans, each
orking Il hours a shift. The tailings
assay II ounces of silver and from 81
to Sc per ton in gold. OF this it is esti-
mated that from IS to $l2 per ton is
saved. Amalgam weighing from 100 to
100 pounds is retOrted every other day.

II. Lee are the locators, and Archie
Harrington is interested. Mr.. Lee
states that he has uncovered a gold
ledge which varies in width from two
to eight feet, in depth of 80 feet, and
that the whole mass will mill $500 per
ton. He has traced the ledge over 5000
feet on the surface. Water sufficient
for 10-stamp mill can be had within
three miles from the mine. and wood is
plentiful and convenient. The Lee
brothers are jubilant over their discov-
cry, and as they are experienced miners
and conservative men, their estimates
may not be exaggerated. The discovery
is on the same belt as the Bodies and

Late reports from the King of Ari-
