Vein Extends Six Miles.

A horizontal cylinder near the base Of
the furnace receives the rock. Heavy
stones of norway flint are thrown into
the cylinder or pulVerizer and with the
quartz salt is mixed. and a stream Of
water constantly flows into the big boiler.
This pulverizer revolves and the hard
norway flint pebbles tumbling about beat
the roasted quartz into fine sand until
II will pass through mesh pan. The
action of the salt in the pulVeriZing pro-
cess is n chemical formation OF oxide.
which aids in the separation of the gold
from other minerals.
The pulveriZer delivers the product In
a muddy stream to three smaller steel
cylinders all doing the same work which
are set up nearby. These cylinders
amalgamators the inventor of the device
calls them-are fitted with steel paddles,
which revolving. agitate the sandy sub
stance. and the quicksilver in the ANAL
gamators takes up the finer particles of
gold from the baser metal. The value
less residue runs out through a waste
pipe. leaving the gold and quicksilver TO
be scooped out of the amalgamators at
the will of the chemist
In the laboratory process, by the heat
of the retorts. the quicksilver passes of
| in a gas. which is collected for future
use in the amalgamator. leaving the fine
| gold in the crucibles The particles OF
| gold are so minute that they are strained
| in pans of 40 mesh, that is. a sieve con-
| tanning 40 holes to the inch. In western
| gold mining the product is panned in a
| 40 or Co mesh Strainer.

Assays from 81 to $500 a Ton.

Since we made the first examination
of the vein we have had over 400 assays
made. The lowest was 81 to the ton
and the highest $3.50. OF course the lat
ter was excessive, and all miners know
would not mean much. We could east
ly pick up a specimen that would assay
an enormous percentage of gold, but we
have not sent the good specimens to the
assayers; we have selected the poorest
and what was an average of what we
would get in operating the mine.
I'VE find that the ore averages about
$50 to a ton. That has greatly encour-
aged us. That would be called a pretty
good mine in Colorado, where they fig
ure that ore that runs 81 to the ton is
worth mining. But If we were obliged
to send this ore from here west to a
smelter we would get nothing for it,.
The process we have is the thing that
makes it possible, we are sure, to mine
gold here at a profit"
Mr.. Newton has several specimens in
the laboratory that assayed more than
$500 to a ton of quartz, and he has
others that vary from $50 to $50
The operations of the experimental
plant will be watched closely during the
next few months by the farmers of the
region, as the Newtons are now making
no concealment of their mill. The es-

The Mountain mills plant is provided
with equipment to mold the gold in bars
ready for delivery at the mint. The
plant has a capacity of about % tons a
day, and the pulverizer will handle five
or six tons of ore at one time.
while this is only an experimental
plant we think that we have demon
strated that gold can be mined at a
profit in the Deerfield valley" said Fred
II. Newton. who with Moses Newton,
is in personal supervision of its opera
ton.
I'VE are not going into gold mining
without experience, as all of us have
spent some time in the Colorado mines.
We are so well satisfied with the pros
poets here that we do not propose to or
ganze any stock company or sell any
interest.
There is plenty of gold here. The
vein which we are now mining has been
carefully examined. 1t is about 1900
feet wide, and l have followed it six
miles. There is enough ore right here to
keep six or seven mills like this one at
work for 100 years. I should not be sur
prised If you could find the same ore in
Searsburg and Dover
II don't mind speaking about our pro-
cess as 1t is patented. and we con-
troll the right for southern Vermont. We
estimate that IL costs us about 81 a ton
to mine and extract the gold. You see
we have water power from the pulp
mill, and our wood used in the rooster is
the refuse from our factories.

and 25 feet wide, part of which is four
stories. The immense pulp mill across
the tracks at the dam furnishes the power
for the operation of the mining plant.
Steam drills were set up in the rear OF
the building and the eXcavators shovel
the ore directly into the mill.
The mill is a novel institution as It
is nothing like the type of smelter used
to crush quartz In the west. Ii is also
not in use anywhere else In the east.
BY an endless chain of buckets the
quartz is carried to the top of the four
story part of the structure. Here is an
opening in the top of the tall cylindrical
furnace.
The rock. which has previously been
put through an ordinary stone crusher.
is thrown into the furnace on top of n
quantity of kindling wood. and layers
of wood and quartz are piled in until
the furnace is fun. the wood being ig-
nited as fast as il is thrown in. a
system of drafts keeps the wood burn
ing brskly.
The rock is roasted by heat of from
1900 degrees to 400 degrees. and in the
process it loses so much of its adhesive
character that it literally crumbles. the

Gold Fever in Two Towns.

Slowly. but surely. the towns of Reads
boro and Wilmington have been working
up a gold fever. and since the Newtons
have exhibited the product of their ex-
perimental mill every one who owns a
rough hill farm is convinced that he
has a gold mine. 1t is very difficult now
to even lease a mining right on any
farm, so enthusiastic have the owners
become during the past week.
The Newton family. comprising James
II. president of the Chemical paper COM
pany. a director of the American writing
paper company (the paper trust; his
brother Moses. who is in charge of the
enterprise in the Deerfeld valley, and
his son, Fred H.. who has had a wide
experience in Colorado mining. are res
ponsible for the conviction that the Deer
field valley is to produce tons of precious
yellow metal.
On Tuesday after they had sent more
than 400 specimens of ore to the assayers
with encouraging results, the Newtons
started south of Wilmington village and
began to refine gold in earnest. Be
fore commencing operations the capt.
talists purchased mining rights on farms
for five or six miles back in the hills.
They have been at work secretly for
several months, and state that as the
gold can be obtained at n substantial
profit they propose to keep the entire
interest themselves, rejecting sugges-
lions that stock companies be formed.
Several weeks ago when they became
convinced that gold mining would be
profitable in the Deerfield valley. they
sold out the Caribou mine at Ophir Colo
for 1850. 900 cash, and Fred II. Newton
says that hereafter his father, his uncle
and himself expect to do all their gold
mining in southern Vermont.
