percentage of iron and other injurious
Impurities .have not increased with tn,
decrease in the zinc tenor OF the ore
Moreover, the percentage Of zinc recov
cred will go down also with the grade o.
the ore. The increased cost and lost
have to be covered by higher smelling
charge.
Although the smelling charge comes
out of the miner, it is mistake to con
slider the smelter as independent OF the
miner, their interests being allied in OBJ
tanning the maximum profit on the zinc
contained in the ore won from the
ground by the miner, though they may
be keen competitors as to the division Of
that profit 1t is, therefore, contrary tc
the interests of botk that fuel and labor
should be wasted on worthless gangue
and the question should resolve itseli
into balance of costs and losses; that
is, whether the greater loss of mineral
in making a high grade concentrate is
offset by the saving in freight and smelt
ing, or vice versa. The company which
operates both mines and smelling works
has to settle that question, and although
the independent smelter is not confront
ed directly by it, we fancy that in the
long run his business adjusts itself on
the same basis.
RIGHT TO REJECT MATERIAL FOR
II
The court of Chancery Appeals oi
Tennessee, has handed down the follow.
ing decision relative to the rejection oi
defective mining material
In an action for the price of second
hand cable sold, to be used on an incline
to let cars down into coal mine, the
seller knew the nature OF the buyers
work, and that the cable used by it ran
over wheels through sheaves or blocks
On the receipt OF the cable the buyer re-
fused to accept it, saying it was of toe
poor quality, that he could not use it
and that the outside wire was broken or
all the outer coils visible. The seller
then guaranteed it for year, whereupor
it was accepted, subject to its condition
after examination; the seller stating that
it was 1900 feet long, of which only abou,
800 feet was poor, leaving 1000 feet oi
good rope-the amount needed. 1t after
ward appeared that 1,5OO feet was OF the
grade Of the 600 feet admitted to be
worthless. The buyers witness stated
that the number CT broken wires was &c
great as to make it exceedingly danger
GUS to place the cable on the incline, ow
ing to the probability Of its catching or
the blocks in the sheaves. The court
held that there not being the amount oi
good rope stipulated for, and the seller
knowing the kind of rope needed, and
the rope not being fitted for the purpose
intended, the buyer was justified in re-
fusing to accept.

ANOTHER TUNNEL TO CUT THE YAM
KEE HILL belt OF VEINS

Another tunnel enterprise eclipsing
all others, west of this city, is that of the
Yankee Consolidated Mining, Milling
and Tunneling company, work upon
which was commenced August Z, 1900.
The tunnel will intersect 81 veins or
properties, as we'll as establish the size
and trend Of them. Among them will be
the Lombard group, owned by DR.. Abe
Ashbaugh of this city, who has stuck to
the development OF them when many
others would have ceased development
work. The Lombard will be cut at a
depth of 800 feet, others at 800 feet. One
shift of miners are now employed, but
an air compressor will be installed as soon
as power house can be erected, when
power drills will supercede hand drilling.
A turn will be made in the tunnel after
its reaching a length of 5000 feet and
other veins reached by a cross cut. The
tunnel will run directly under Yankee
hill. Henry l. Seaman of Denver, is
president OF the tunnel company, who
claims that the work inaugurated will
be continuous. The stock is held by
eastern capitalists who have ample means
to carry out the tunnel enterprise sue
cessfully. A shaft is to be sunk from

TO USE ELECTRICAL POWER.

Idaho Springs Gazette: The electrical
machinery to be installed by the Lamar.
tine mine, which was recently purchased
by General Manager Hanchett from the
Denver Electric company, reached here
Tuesday. The power will be furnished
by the United Light and Power company
OF Georgetown, whose new plant is near
ly completed. The line is already con-
structed between the power company's
plant and the Lamartine mine, and with
the installation OF the electric plant the
mine will do away with steam power en-
tirely and the Lamartine will be the first
mine in this county to be thus equipped.
1t is understood that several large prop
critics are also contemplating to change
from stenm to electric power.
r COST OF SMELLING ZINC ORE.
In replying to correspondent who
had criticized statement made as to
the cost or smelling zincous ores, who
had assumed that the cost OF smelling Il
ton OF poor ore is the same us for ton
OF rich ore, the New York Mining and
Engineering Journal, says:
Assuming that the ore is blende, tho
lower it is in grade, the less is the loss Of
weight in roasting, and the greater the
bulk OF the ore because OF the higher
percentage Of gangue OF low specific
gravity. Consequently the lower the
grade of the ore, the less OF it can be put
in the same volume OF retorts, and the

RICH RIALTO ORE.

Last Thursday Percy r. Alsdorf made
an assay from piece OF smelling ore
taken from the breast of the 600 foot east
level Of the Rialto mine, which gave 80
ounces gold and 14.12 ounces silver per
ton, total value Of 81, 1852 per ton. No
account was made of the copper or lead
values. The ore was broken off large
piece about 8 inches in width that was
sent up in bucket of ore from the 600
foot east level. Itpresented an unusually
fine appearance. Mr.. Melvin p. Dalton
one of the stockholders of the Ridge
wood Gold Mining company, owners and
operators of the property, was in the
shaft house at the time. The ore at
tracing his attention he broke the sample
off and had it assayed with the above re-
suit. The ore in this level as it is driven
east keeps up uniform width. The
same is true of the back of the level
where ore is being broken and shipped
to the Boston & Denver mill in Black
Hawk for treatment.
