two miles north of the Gilt Edge ant
Chickadee mines of the Gold Rec
Mining company. Work has steadily
progressed on the property and from
the reports of Superintendent Wilson
who is one of the oldest and most
experienced mining men in Fergus
county, the owners feel that they
have a good prospect. The company
is amply backed and AS soon as the
development opens up ore to justify
il. a big mill will be erected. Frank
Z. Smith has the visitors in charge
and they are all very favorably i'm
pressed with what they are being
shown in Fergus county.
In the United Verde.
For a year or more there has ragged
a fire in the United Verde mine, Je-
rome, Arizona. 1t was some time ago
presumed to have been eXtinguished
through the use of vast quantities of
carbonic acid gas, but recently the
fire broke out with renewed vigor and
is hottest at the 500-foot level and
eating its way down. The remark
able feature of this fire and n that
makes it seemingly impossible to ex-
tinguish is that the fire is in the sui
phide ore and the deadly fumes pre-
vents near approach. Vast quantities
of sulphur impregnate the ores and
il Is this that maintains the fire. The
only possible means of eXtinguishing
the fire is by flooding, but it is not
proable that such will be resorted to.
When the fire burns itself out for
want OF ore. the company will have
a vast quantity of roasted ore
Cyanide poisoning has a most eff
fective remedy in peroxide of hydro
gen. 1t can be administered internal
ly or with hypodermic syringe. Cold
water should be poured upon the head
and mustard plasters to the feet help
considerably. BY every means keep
the patient awake. If peroxide of n.y.
drngan is not IN he had use Derman
ganate of potash. Every cyanide mill
should keep a supply of these com
pounds.
