FAULT A BAD THING TO MEET
Many Miners Down-Fortunes
Spent in Recovering Veins.

About the most discouraging thing
that miner can meet with when follow
ing an ore body Is to run up against
country rock, Or, in other words a fault
says the Salt Lake Mining Review. The
side-trac king of the vein, usually by the
slipping of the formation, or throw,
is usual occurrence in nearly every
mining camp of the west. 1t is held that
that there is big slip in Eureka gulch
in Tintic district, which accounts for the
fact that the big mines of the camp are
on the south side of the canyon. In the
Mono, in Dry canyon, near Stockton. the
faulted vein has been found after driv-
ing $500 foot tunnel, and the expendi-
ture of a small fortune, and many in
stances are recorded OF the finding OF
faulted veins, the great difficulty being
to tell which way the vein has faulted,
although rules have been given to gov
ern cases under different circumstances,
one authority is advising that when the
fault is struck on the hanging wall side
of the vein to continue the drift of tun-
mel, through the fault, the same rule APP
plying when the fault occurs on the foot
wall side, the faulted vein to be follow
ed closely as possible. stringers as a gem
eral thing, leading back to the ore body.
The only nfallible rule is to prospect un-
til the faulted ore body is found, and ad-
vice and instruction, as a general thing,
is valueless to the mine owner who has
been unfortunate in losing his ore body.

A LARGE NUGGET OF GOLD
It Tipped the Beam at 1853 Pounds
Was Sent From British Columbia
to New York.

The biggest nugget of gold ever re-
ceived at the assay office in Wall street,
according to Superintendent Mason, ar
rived recently from mining company
il British Columbia. 1t was assigned
to the New York agents of the bank Of
Montreal.
The nugget contained a fraction over
1853 pounds of the solid yellow metal and
valued at $l54.000. 1t came in a solid
cone and stood about two feet high. The
cCne was wrapped in canvas and fitted
with an oblong box made of two-inch
plank and heavily bound with iron. The
gold was held firmly in the box by two
wooden wedges driven in from the top.
Two heavy iron rings We're set in the
sides Of the rough box and through these
were fitted wooden bars, by which the
box was lifted.
1t required four men to lift it from the
truck in the assay office to the scales.

ELKH0RN MILL CLOSED DOWN
Not the Result of Improbable Ore,
It Is Said, But Improper
MACHINERY.

A special message from Boulder to the
Helena Record says that the Elkhorn
mill has been closed and most of the
men employed there have left the camp.
seeking employment in Butte and else
where. 1t is claimed that the closing OF
the mill is not due to the operations be-
ing Improbable. as the general belief Is
that the working of the old dumps has
thus far favored success and justified
the purchase of the mine by the Long,
maid brothers for $1,000, and the expendi-
ture of much more in fitting up the mill
and installing new machinery. The
trouble is that some Of the machinery is
not adapted to the use intended.
In the reduction of the ore cylinders
are used in which steel balls roll. In the
cylinder are fanges or shelves and the

WYOMING PRODUCING COPPER
That State and New Mexico Beat Their
Former Records Last Year
Arizona Fell Behind.

Charles Kirchoff has made his annual
report on the lead and copper products
of the United States. He says that never
in the history of the lead industry in
the United States has SO large an In
crease taken place in single year as
in 1900. A startling proof has been fur
nshed of the capacity Of the mines to
expand production and of the fact that
in times of a normal demand the prices
prevailing last year are too high.
Colorado's product is given as S2,l37
tons, as against 70.3OS in 1899.
The report on copper says last year
was an exceedingly prosperous one for
the copper mining and smelling industry.
Colorados product. including smelters.

markets, was 7,s26.949 pounds. against

cline of about Is, 100000 pounds, and Utah

The Suspension Of Work on Them Is
Only Temporary-Watseka Requires
Special Pump-Owners of Mine
Waiting For It.

James B. Gallagher. who has been
managing the Daily estate property at
Copperopols, says the suspension of OPP
erations there is not permanent by any
means, but nothing more will he done
this year. When work is resumed it will
be on practically larger scale, as new

ed On account Of the strike among the
iron workers in the east new machinery
cannot be bought at present.
1t IS understood that work on the Wat
seka In Madison county has also been
suspended because of the inability of the
owners. Messrs. McCune, Hand and the
Hoge estate to procure proper pumping
machinery. The Waseka is one of the
richest gold mines in the state, but ii is
said that there are spots of quickSand in

MORE OIL SOIL NEAR DILLON
Ryan Canyon the Scene of the Latest
Discovery, But It Was Known
in 1888

There is hardly any doubt that Beaver
head county has one of the largest oil
belts in this inter mountain country,
says the Dillon Tribune. The operations
which have been going on in Smallhorn
canyon for over a year have demon
stated that oil exists there in large guam
titles. Some of the parties interested
have arranged With a company of which
General Charles S. Warren Of Butte is
the head, and active development work
Will begin at once. Captain F. G.. Downey
of California an oil expert and promoter
OF the enterprise. was here few days
ego. having come from the east with a
Pennsylvania expert H. Weinberg, who
VIII take full charge of the work to be
done. Captain Downel stated that the
boring apparatus with boiler and engine,
will be on the ground by the 25th of the
present month.
The latest discoveries of oil are in
Ryans canyon. about ten miles from
Dillon While they are the latest finds
they are really the scene or the first
known deposits of oil AS far back as
1883 a large amount of development work
was done in Ryan's canyon with the
measures. But in October of the same
year ]. J. Cusick sent samples of the
ehale to Cooper institute for analysis.
The returns came back with the an
nouncement that the shaie contained oil
OF tirst-class grade. The enterprise was
abandoned until recently. when Cusick.

Butte capitalists, arrived in Dillon. They

at once returned to the scene of the first
discoveries and located 1900 acres of
the choicest tracts of the oil-bearing
stale. Their locations cover a space of
four miles on both sides of the Beaver
head river. both above and below DAILY S
Spur and extending back on each SIDE
OF the river into the high hills.
The center of the operations of the
Butte people is a natural basin to which
the oil must naturally gravitate. The
sandstone and shale formation of the
country are known to be sure indica-
tons of the existence of oil. even If prac-
teal tests had not already shown 1t 10
be there.
The Reaverhta1 county oil belt proper
covers an area of country SO miles in
length and avera ging three to five miles
il, width. The Medicine Lodge coal meas
ures on horse pra :rie are believed to be
tn source from which the oil is first
formed. the belt continuing in north
easterly direction of the Poin6eXter &
Orr stock ranch. \ break then occurs of
some 80 miles, when the oil belt is again
prominent in the Centennial valley.
From this point east it is known that
there are large coal measures which con-
t:nue unbroken into the state of Wyom-
irg.
Should the parties now foremost on
the scene make a success of their eE-
riorations in TITS d r sctir" it win prove
to be o. incalculab'e benefit to the city
of Dillon from an industrial and tinan-
oial point of view.
Mr.. SultZer and Mr.. Cusck are still in
Dillon. where they expect to remain for
some time.

If her majesty does moi keep all the hats she wears. she retains one of each style, and when it is put away the period when 1t was worn is stated. The Dukt of Cornwall and York is an ardent stamp collector, and the specimens he has obtained on his colonial tour have considerably en- hancei the value of his collections. Princess Marie of Portugal collects scent bottles and her specimens have been valued at over 800 pounds. The Queen of Italy Is very fond of lace. Some of the laces Queen Helene pos sesses are worth hundreds of pounds on account of their exquisite workmanship and others because of their age. The oldest and most valuable were taken
 from Egyptian tombs. which dated a
