Alfalfa Newspapers and Mining.

T''o'u 'NS"SPoPS'S . o''e N'""'b'
In the Mining edition of the Los An
geles Times appears what it terms 9
new method of making campfire as
say. The telling of it indicates the
gullibility and lack of knowledge OF
mining and miueralogy displayed by
these newspapers that attempt to
write up the mining camps of the coun.
try at so much per writeup. The gull.
ible young man of the Times says in
substance: Around the campfire few
months ago one old prospector was
telling another how he found the values
in some ores that he had picked up
near Signal, in the southern part of
Mohave county. The ore was heavy in
lead "sulphuret" and looked malleable,
and contained no visible gold. He
took good sized piece and pulverized
it in a mortar, added cyanide and
poured in some quicksilver. With a
good stout stick he amalgamated the
mass. Then washing out the amalgam
he squeezed out the excess quick and
had left small ball of amalgam. Then
scooping out large potato be inserted
the amalgam aud placed the potato in
the Goals of the campfire. Within a
short time he removed the potato and
there in the center was revealed a
chunk of gold that showed that the ore
was very rich. Just think of it, all you
assayers who have been going to the
trouble of making fire assays of min,
eral, how easily you could have over
come your troubles had you but been
acquainted with this short and easy
method of gold extraction. But the
Times young man has yet to learn that
such ore will not amalgamate, and If it
would the prospectOr could have horn
ed the ore out in half the time in a
horn spoon without the waste of cya-
nide and quicksilver. la the same is
sue of the Times there appears the ad-
vertisement of mining company oper-
ating in Mexico, with large block of
stock for sale, that gives it out conf
IDENTIFY that it has one ore vein carry
ing ore eighteen feet in width the aver
age of which is 3S per cent copper, 40
ounces silver and over two ounces gold
to the ton. Now, had we such ore we
would consider that we were selling
twenty dollar gold pieces for fifty
cents. But the ways of the promoter
and the alfalfa editor are inscrutable

The statehood convention at Phenix
last Saturday was well attended The
men selected to 20 to Washington in
the interest of the admission are among
the best citizens of the territory, aud

Owing to breakdown ia the concen-
trating plant of the Parrot and Ana
conda mills these mines have been
closed down and 5000 men thrown out
of employment. There has been a
gradual scaling down of the working
force of the Butte and Anaconda mines
the past several months and it is stated
that there are fully 500 idle men in
the two camps. The Montana mines
usually scale down the force as winter
comes on but not to the extent of the
present year.

No Gold in China,

II. G. Hoover, an expert miner with
years of experience, states that there is
no gold in China worthy of mention.
He has been operating in that country
for several years bat was unable to
develop paying property. The ores
show in scattered quantity but the
values are low and working expensive.
He states that there are big coal
measures along the low countries,
which is to be expected. He recently
sold his coal mining interests for one
million aud half.

mostly Opaque. The greatest mass
ever found was taken from the winter
palace of the Emperor of China few
years ago and is now on exhibition in
the British Museum. Many of the
gems produced in this county are
somewhat lighter color than Callaica
of Pliny, but are fine in texture and
take a handsome polish. Wherever
exhibited they at once become popular
and the demand for them is now in ad-
vance of those from Persia and other
gem producing countries.
