New Claims on Armclls Creek.

Anderson. Meredith & Rhodes have
recently located II group Of seven
claims on the head Of Armclls creek
ON the northwest slope Of the Judith
range, which shows sumcgrcat bodies
OF low grade cyanide ores. The
group Is known IA the philippines
and lays along thu lower contact Of
the lime aud porphyry. The oreitself
IL largely made up Of decOmposed
porphyry, which appears to have
broken through the lime in intrusive
sheets. One sheet. or dixie. OF this
porphyritic matter more than 800
feet wide assays from 81 to- $3.50 per
ton and tests havedcmonstrated that
it may be treated successfully by the
cyanide process. Situated as Is this
group Of claims. large bodies If ore
carrying an acreage value OF $500
per ton may be mined and milled by
the cyanide treatment ut substan
tial profit. Some ore Of a higher
grade has been found on the Funston
claim, hut the general average OF the
ore Is such that 1t can be worked
proiitably.

Relative to the Spotted Horse.


1t has been rpportedlatcly that the

would resume operations At once, but
1t Is not likely now that the stamps
will begin To drop until some time In
August, as several very important
alterations and additions are being
malp'in he workingplans oithcmill.
The Spotted Horse management has
secured the services uf Mr.. Duvall,
an expert mill man and c%yanidcoper-
atur, 10 assume charge of the milling
plant and under his supervision the
altcrationsnow in progress are being
made. An experiment will be made
ia working the lower grade ores by
nmalgHmatiOn, concentration and
the cyanide treatment, by which IL Il
thought almost total extraction Of
the gold values will be obtained.
Four Whitley concentrating tables are
being placed in The mill Immediately
below the plates, over which all pulp
from the stamp batteries will pass
and on which the refractory ana dele
tcyiou~ minerals will bc concentrated.
The pulp not concentrated On the
Wiley tables wlllpa.- into n settling

iluuu- water and then shOvcllcd into

or gold in the batteries and ON the
plates, concentrating the refractory
minerals ON the Wiley tables and
treating the pulp from the conccn-
trating tables with cyanide solution,
that a very high per cent Of the val-
urs will be recovered and with this
system In operation only the highest
grade ores will he shipped to the
smelters. Although much develop.
mcnt work is in progress In the mine
nm average al thirty tons OF milling
ore is being hOistcd daily, while the
shipments ri high grade ores, begun
In June, continue regularly. A rich
discovery Of high grade ore WIS made
recently in n Wine which has been
sunk forty feet below the bottom Of
the seventh level. A drift in the por-
phyry ON this level exposed a streak
Of very high gradeore, whichi II shown
In the Wine for its entire depth. The
rich streak, which il thirty feet from
the lime-porphyry contact, averages
about two feet in width and nil
screenings from the Wine are also
rich enough for shipment. Murcthan
1000 tons Of ore ARE now ON the mill
dumps ready for crushing when the
mill resumes.
