Some newspapers have been giving
currency to the reported finding of
wolfram near the head of Bill Williams
Fork and gave what purports to be the
result of assays from the ores. It ap-
pears that these papers confound the
mineral tungsten with the ores of
tungstite, from the latter of which
tungstic acid is obtained. Tungstite
is found sometimes in cubic crystals
and in color is bright yellow or yellow
ish green, while wolfram is reddish
brown to black in color and is found
in orthorhombic (trimetric), but more
often in lamelar crystallations. The
mineral is massive aud was first found
as a base in tin ores. The two miner
ais are very much different in formula
aud should not be coufouuded with
each other. The ores sent from Bill
Williams Fork show it to contain 50
per cent of tungstite, but no wolfram
la the veins on the Sandy the ores, we
understand, give good values in the
mineral wolfram.

The much delayed corrugated iron
for the Tennessee mill arrived the first
of the week and is now being put on
as rapidly as possible. The new mill
will be much larger than the old one
and practically a fire proof building
will replace the old one.
The ore body on the Mollie Gibson
improves as the shaft goes down and
no doubt will be very rich body when
the 300 is reached.
The Merrimac mill is running night
and day now and turning out rich con-
, centrates at the rate Of three carloads
per week.
1t is reported on good authority that
the Schaylkill will erect a modern
hoist and mill and that the shaft will
be put down to the 800 feet level as
fast as possible The company will
then be on level with the Tennessee
mine and will run a race with that
property to the 1000 foot level.
The shaft on the Empire has reached
the hanging wall of the ledge and is
expected will cut into the ore body in
the next five feet. The shaft is now
down l95 feet. or 45 feet below the old
workings. Owing to the amount of
water it has been very slow work. The
Empire was big producer before it
shut down, and with proper manage
ment will be one Cf the leading mines
in camp. Supt. Conkey has great hopes
on account of the past record of the
property.
81 SchOOnmaker has leased the meat
market and will furnish Chloriders with

good market, with a thorough butch

There will be dance at the City

In and around Cerbat there are MANY
excellent gold bearing properties that
under proper conditions can be made
pay handsomely. Notably among these
are the Cerbat, Golden Gem, Flores
and Champion. The Cerbat carries a
small percentage of copper, that by
concentration can be made of a high
shipping value. Many years ago the
MINER editor and the late Judge Nor
ton had lease on the mine and mill
and made from the surface ores a pro-
duct valued at llSs gold, IS ounces
silver and l312 per cent copper. No
better concentration product than this
has ever been shipped from the coun.
ty. Very little experimenting was car
ried on, as it was thought that hy
cleaning the ore too close values would
be thrown away. By hand work the
cleaned mineral contained over 3OOS in
gold, 10 ounces in silver and 10 per
cent copper. AS the silver contents
are of little moment machine capable
OF making a clean concentrate will
give the ores of the Cerbat added val
ues. The mine is under the control of
John Barry, we believe. At the Flores
there is big body of low grade ore in
the lower levels. The mine is filed
with water, but as it has good pump ps
and hoisting machinery it would re.
quire but a few days to complete the
work of unwatering. The ground un-
der the old ore bodies, where ore is
most likely to be found, has never
been touched. Outside of these prop.
critics there are many mines that would
pay in inveSter to look into. The sur.
face ores of many of them has been
gutted but a small amount of work
may bring in another rich pocket. A
mill would also give the mine owners
of that section chance to have their
ores worked and would cause the open
ing up of many of the small leads now
idle.

On the north side of the Colorado
river, north Of Peach Springs, in this
county large bodies Of copper ore is
known to exist. The country is cut
up into deep canyons and high bluff ;
and is isolated from communication
with the outside world. There are a
few horses ranged in and around the
adjacent plateau, but prospectors are
averse to going in there in search OF
mineral on account of the terribly
rough nature of the country. Last
summer a horse rancher brought to
Kingman a shipment of copper that
gave a good return. This ore had to be
packed over ten miles of the toughest
trails in America and then ferried
across the river at the mouth of Dia-
mond Canyon. Thence it had to be
hauled by wagon to Peach Springs,
where it was shipped on the cars to the
sam pier at this place. The mines are
said to be continuation of the Grand
Canyon copper belt, but the ore lies in
a different formation. Some day this
country will be big copper producer,
but before that time railroad will
have to be bull, down the Grand Can
Won,

Frank Miller and family, of Hack.
berry, with their household aud other
worldly effects, passed through King
man this week on their way to St.
Thomas, where they will make their
home. Mr.. Miller is a well-known
cattleman and has lived in this county
many years. He believes that the new
Los Angeles railroad will run within a
short distance of st. Thomas and that
property will increase to an enormous
extent in the Muddy Valley. The
country surrounding st. Thomas is
one of the richest agricultural regions
in the state of Nevada and the owners
of this land will reap a harvest when
they get a nearby market for their
produce. We hope Mr.. Miller will be
one of the lucky ones.

Walter Hawkins the other day made
an important gold discovery about two
miles from the Gold Road mines. He
had found large area covered with
float rock carrying gold, Tut had been
unable to uncover the ledge. In dig

last, he found the apex of the ledge
underneath. Digging down few feet
he uncovered two foot vein carrying
good values in gold. He will return
TO the claim at once and complete his
title work, after which he will proceed
to Systematically open the vein.

The Indian Duck Trick.

A little tin or earthen pan or some
times half a cocoanut shell supported
on three stones is filled with water on
which is sprinkled red powder. rem
dering it practically opaque. A little
duck Of wood or porcelain is placed
upon the surface, where it at first
floats, but at the command Of the per
former suddenly dives, remaining sub
merged until again ordered to rise.
This very Ingenious trick depends
upon the fact that in the bottom of the
vessel there is a minute hole through
which passes q hair. One end Of this
is attached to the duck; the other re-
mains at the disposal Of the performer
and is attached, by means of pellet
Of wax, to his tomtom or to one of the
hands with which he beats it. When
he wishes the duck to dive. he pulls
the hair. When he desires it to RISE
he relaXes the pull.
There is naturally some amount Of
leakage through the pinhole. and to
cover this the performer takes care,
when filling the pan. to accidentally (9
spill little water. The ground being
thus already wetted. the fact that it
gets a little more is not noticed

POULTRY POINTERS.

A safe rule in feeding is to give
enough to satisfy and DO more.
Droppings should not be allowed to
accumulate in the poultry house longer
than a week.
Bone dust supplies an abundance or
bonemaking material and counteracts
any tendency to diarrhea.
When possible, give the poultry house
a southern exposure and furnish that
side with an abundance Of light.
While wheat is one Of the best grains
to feed to fowls, it should not be FED TO
excess or it may cause diarrhea, Feed
it with other grains.
Loss Of feathers is. generally caused
by want Of green food or want Of a
dust bath. Supply both, and, as a local
application, use mercurial ointment.
Breed the best flesh formers for mar
ket; then feed them up to as great 4
weight as possible. Well fattened, well
dressed poultry bring the best prices.
