A Lucky Fall.

VULCAN llMIS.
w. F. Matzke got badly shaken
up last Monday by fall in the
Good Hope mine. He was coming
down the ladder from the stope
when a small rock fell and struck
him on the wrist and for the mo-
ment took all the strength from
his hand. He missed the ladder
with his other hand and fell about
80 feet to the drift striking on his
hip. The shock dazed him for a
few moments but he had presence
of mind enough to roll from under
the manway so that rocks thrown
down by the shots in the stope
would not strike him. He became
sick when he got on his feet and
had to lie down several times be-
fore he reached the shaft. When
he got home and was examined it
was found that his hip and back
were badly bruised but aside from
that and general soreness from
the jar he was uninjured.

than the ordinary fire assay. We want
nothing. therefore, to do with tellurium."
What grade do you prefer?''
"Oh, any Of the low grades, such as
the IS, SO or $50 grades. Ores which
show only trace of gold may yield 5000
a tom"
How high do they run when the new
test is applied?"
They run up to 5000, $500. $1,000 or even
higher"
Cost of the Treatment.
What is the cost of the treatment"
1T will cost probably $50 or $50 ton.
I hardly believe it will reach $50 except
in rare cases. The cost varies according
to the character of the ore, but it Is not
prohibitive."
do you have a theory?'
Yes. Gold heretofore has been rec
ognized only when in the visible form.
There may be a development of gold In
the form of gas and it is possible that
the invisible gold is ripened and brought
forward to the ultimate degree of devel-
opment in the course of the process. The
idea is that the gold is ripened rapidly
under the process. instead of requiring a
long period of time. I am convinced
by tests and also from many years of
experience that gold grows"
How was the process dfscovered?"
Discovered By Accident.
"Mr. Wynn says it was by accident,
although he had been experimenting for
five years before success crowned his eff
forts. When the process was called to

new PROCESS FOUND
LOW GRADE ORE CAN BE MADE TO
YIELD IT'S CONTENTS.
1T IS BEST FOR TREATMENT
An Attorney Has Proven That Gold
Grows-The Discovery Has Gre
ated a Sensation in the Gen.
tennial State.

Mining men in Colorado are greatly ex-
cited over what is said to be new pro-
cess for extracting gold from low-grade
ore. willard Teller. a leading lawyer Of
Colorado, is one of the principals in the
company which has the secret Of the
new process. The Denver News thus tells
of the process and what Mr.. Teller says
about it:
Mr.. Teller does not hesitate to say
that he has spent a large part of his
time for three months investigating the
process and that he is convinced be-
yond doubt of the practicability of the
extraction. He has mixed the liquids at
many of the tests and has weighed out
the yellow metal as it revealed itself to
the inquiring gaze of the Investigators.
The secret alchemy of the process is
not for the public. and if the present
intentions of the syndicate are not
changed no amount of financial induce
ment will reveal the process. In the
course of good ma tured talk, Mr.. Teller
said:
Not Seeking Notoriety.
I'VE are not seeking notoriety in this
matter and 1 know of no reason why
a man can't undertake private venture
without being under any obligation to
receive all the world into his confidence"
Have you no doubt at all as to the
result Of the process?" was asked.
"None at all. 1t is absolutely beyond
doubt as have repeatedly extracted the
gold from the ore"
DO all classes Of gold ore yield equally
as well?'
mo. The lower grades of ore are the
best for treatment"
How do you account for that?"
Il account for it on the presumption
that gold grows. We find that the tel
lurium ores which are very high grade
are not adapted to the process, aa our
process yields little more upon tellurium

A GREAT PROPERTY
ST. JULIEN MAY BECOME A
LARGE PRODUCER.
LOCATED IN PARK COUNTY
New Owners Have Built a Mill and
Expended Considerable Money
in Development
Work.

Quietly going forward under their dlrec-
tion. gives promise of placing the prop

has become famous, and will no doubt
ultimate show to the people OF the
state that Park county will become one
of the greatest producers of the yellow
metal in the state, says the Livingston
Enterprise.
The ST. Julien mine is an old and WELL
known quartz gold property, but its de-
yelopment has never been prosecuted on
a scientific scale until it passed into the
control of the Nolan brothers of this cry
about year and a half ago. Since these
gentlemen obtained possession OF the
property they have expended a large
sum of money, not alone upon the de-
velopment of the lode proper, but in the
erection of modern Ell Pass roller mill,
with Cammett & Whitley concentration
tables to treat the ore product and also
in putting up houses for the accommo-
dation of the miners and other workmen
employed on and around the property,
the building of wagon roads, etc, all of
which has taken time, patience ana
faith in the ultimate worth Of the
property.
Near Rich Placer.
The mine is located in the Emigrant
mining district, about six miles from
the old and we'll known mining camp Of
Chico where one of the richest placer
mines in the country is also located.
The St. Julien is situated in an amphi-
theater, formed by the mountains sur
rounding the famous old Emigrant peak,
one of the early-day landmarks of the
pioneers to the gold fields of Montana.
The district has long been famous as
mineral district, and has contributed in
no inconsiderable quantity to the wealth
of the country since it's discovery.
A Magnet for Capital.
Interest now, however centers around
the development going forward in the st.
Julien. Operations on the mine have
gone forward so quietly during the past
year and a half that but few people
realize it's Importance or the part it is
more than likely to play in attracting
attention to Park county as a gold min
ing section.
Within the past 10 days the celebrated
mining expert, Alex Burrell was sent
to the district by a syndicate of London
capitalists to examine mines with view
to possible purchase and working them
on an extensive scale. While engaged
in this work he visited the ST. Julien in
order to more thoroughly familiarze
himself with the ores of the district. He
estimates that there are more than
100000 tons Of ore in sight in the mine
awaiting extraction and reduction.
Developing It by Tunnels.
The property is being developed by a

series of four tunnels by which the NINE
can he worked to a depth of more than
1900 feet.
The mill has a capacity OF about ~
tons per day, and is kept steadily rum
ming. giving fairly good satisfaction. ~
cleanup pan is at present being put IN
at the mill, and other necessary work
for the winter is being done. From pres
ent indications the outlook is more imam
good for Park county to add great gold
mine to those which have already made
Montana the most famous mineral state
in the Union.
On the groupings Of the big lode at
the TOP of the hill shaft has been sunk
to a depth of $50 feet, but owing to the
extreme steepness CT the mountain, work
on the mine is now almost exclusively
confined to the tunnels. These are four
in number. No. l having been driven in
$50 feet. No. 2. $50 feet, No. 3. 115 feet,
and No. 4 about 500 feet. All these tun-
nels are in milling ore of a good quality.
Formation a Hard Porphyry.
The country rock and formation Is 4
hard porphyry, where exposed on the
surface, though in the mine it is some
what softer. The vein gives promise OF
being of mammoth proportions. The foot
wall has been followed in most of the
workings, though no well defined hang
ing wall has as yet been found. What
has been taken for the hanging wall mas
been discovered several times. but on
breaking through it large quantities OF
ore appear on the otlEr side of it, so
that it is not really known how wide the
vein is.
District IN Old One.
The ST. Julien mine is a great deposit
or vein of pay rock, and is one OF a
series of mineralzed lodes in a highly
mineralized zone that includes the Emil
grant district, the Cowles camp and the
mines on the Boulder river, Cook City,
Bear gulch, etc. The district is one of
the Oldest in Montana and contains
nearly every variety of precious metal
bearing ores, with their associate min
erals, including good copper indications.
Properly speaking, the entire district lies
locked within the rugged embrace of the
Snowy range Of mountains, and the prob
lem of conquering these almost uncon-
querable heights has served to retard the
development Of the country. 1t is only
within the last few years that develop
ment work in earnest has begun to show
up the wealth of that end of Park
county, and its steady golden output
from the few mines that are in operation
is beginning to attract the attention of
the mining world. That its development
from this time on will be rapid, those
best posted on the immense possibilities
Of the district do not hesitate to predict.

my attention I had no faith but decided
to test it. as Mr.. Wynn is a modest man
and makes no pretensiOns whatever. He
was for a number of years a physician
and graduated at one Of the regular
schools Later in life he devoted great
deal of time to chemistry ana finally his
entire attention was given to the extrac-
ton Of gold. The result was attained
only after many bitter disappointments
and after he had many times been on the
point of giving up the experiments. His
discovery is the greatest known in mod
ern times in the treatment Of ores. The
process will apply to other ores besides
gold"

Mr.. Teller has pocket full of gold

of the buttons are worth 500 or more.

representing a small amount of ore. The
ore is ground before being subjected to
the treatment, and it requires "a hours
before the yellow metal is turned out.
The secret Of the process. as explained by
friends of the experimentors, is in the
combination OF chemicals and not in the
treatment, as quite number Of Denver
men have been admitted to view the
process.
