Qualitative Test of Ores.

1t is to the advantage of every pros
pector to know something of the methods
for at least qualitative test of such ore
as may be thought to contain values in
the precious metals. The ordinary form
ula for making such tests involves skill
in manipulation and expensive apparatus,
but method has been devised by G. W &.
Miller, which while inexpensive and
readily applied by the ordinary pros
pector, is effective in demonstrating the
presence of gold, silver, copper or lead,
and approximately the value of these
metals contained in the ore For oxi-
died ores the ordinary method of crush
ing and panning Is familiar to most
prospectors. If the gold is in sulphide,
free if possible by roasting. After roast
ing until the ore ceases to glow or emit
the least trace of sulphur fumes, which
may be done on shovel and will require
about thirty minutes, cool and transfer
the pulp to the gold pan and agitate it
from five to ten minutes with one quart
of water in which has been previously
dissolved teaspoonful of cyanide of pot
assium salt. This will free or brighten
the gold, which should be at once panned
down. If no gold shows in the pan
transfer the residue to the hornspoon and
rub with few drops of quicksilver for a
short time, collect the quicksilver and
squeeze through a clean buckskin. If
there is any gold or silver it will be
found in the amalgram left behind on
the buckskin and may be freed by the
ordinary method.

AT THE
MATTE.
Great Strike Has Added Interest to the
Chicago Creek Section and Property
Takes Jump.

axes Jump.
AS we have often stated in these col
umns the man who knows nothing about
mining is just about as good at guessing
as the man who claims to be an expert.
In the early days of Leadville the geolo-
gists said there was no gold in Cripple
Creek-that it was below the belt' or
zone" or some other name made famous
by people with high-top boots and an
air of knowledge. Occasionally some
prospector who claimed little knowledge
of mining would fud rich float around
the Cripple Creek country but the ex-
perts and geologists would hear of it and
write articles with words culled from
some mining glossary TO show that
Cripple Creek was a COW pasture.
few years later a Kansas clod-hopper
and Nebraska carpenter came to the
Cripple Greek district, paid no attention
to the vaporiugs of these alleged experts,
applied little Drawn, brain and capital
and today this geological COW pasture"
is producing 81, 900, 900 per month.
This is simply employed to illustrate a
fact that pretty nearly every one con-
nected with mining is already familiar
with viz; that the expert and the man
with the forked stick and spiritual hal
lucinations represent about the same
class.
During the past year we have heard
carpers who have lived here for many
years state that nothing would be found
of Importance up Chicago Greek. The
strike in the Matte and in several other
properties up there deny this and as a
result property is reaching skylight
| figures.
The Matte is getting better all the
time and there is every reason to believe
that it is destined to become one of the
greatest propositions in the district before
the year has passed. There is no reason
why any mining man should claim to
be possessed with a superior and supreme
knowledge that will enable him to tell
what particular district contains all the
gold and silver or what one does not.

aSEATON
AFTER A
RECORD.
Wonderful Old Producer Shipping the Best
Grade and Greatest Tonnage of the
District

"By gosh that isn't a vein-that's
quarry" was the remark of a mining
man who visited the Seaton m,ne about
a week ago. When this gentleman was
shown the records which produce the
proof that each man employed knocked
down fifty-one ton of the rich stuff last
month he continued. ~ don't believe
there is another proposition in the state
of Colorado where that tonnage record
can be produced for each man employed"
The little incident best illustrates the
wonderful work that is being accom-.
plished in the old property under the
management of F. S. Goldsmith. The
mine is in every sense quarry. At the
present time no other proposition in the
district is beginning to touch it on ton
mage figures or on value of ore shipped
out.
The ore chute, which is opened fairly
at the eighth and ninth levels of the
property is probably the largest ever un-
covered in the district and it would as
tonish man familiar with figures to
make deductions on the amount of ore
in sight.
At the present time it is no stretch of
the imagination to state that the Seaton
is the best working proposition in the
district. Much of the success incident to
the property has been contributed
through the management of Mr.. Cold
smith. Years of service in the mines of
this and Gilpiu counties have given him
an advantage over those who have not
seen the service and become veterans at
the business
Mining men state that the best part of
the Seaton is yet to be uncovered and
that the mine is practically in its infancy
so far as production is concerned. These
statements appear to be well founded
from the results shown and the tonnage
of ore blocked out.
1t is even in its character and the kind
that brings profit to the shipper. In
other words the months figures right
along prove the profit rather than the
tonnage. One can produce a splendid
tonnage with the profit against him but
it is the successful mining man who pro-
duces the tonnage and then has the per
cent of profit richly in his favor.

and has produced many millions of dol
lars. The large unexplored territory
opened by the tunnel snould place it
again among the largest producers.
Mr.. John G. Roberts, the obliging
proprietor of the Jackson Concentrating
works at the junction of Chicago and
Clear creeks, one of the best located mills
in the city and most advantageously To-
Gated for the ready unloading of ore and
the loading of concentrates, informs us
that they are handling about 100 tons
of ore per month, and are running night
and day shifts. This mill handles large
proportion of the outputs of the Old
Town, Gum Tree, Seaton, and also the
Charter Oak mine of Ute creek, and uu-
til very recently was the concentrating
mill for the Sun and Moon mine which
is now closed on account of the difficulty
with the miners. This mill is the oldest
custom mill in the district and its site
embraces over thirty acres.

The Miners Unfailing Market.

great manufacturing enterprise is
gold mining! There is unlimited raw
material with a constant cash demand
for modern machinery. The product is
wanted by everybody and there are or
ders ahead for many years output no
matter how great that output may be.
The product sells itself The price is
fixed and uuvariable-S2o.67 per ounce.
Its sale needs no service or agent or in
termediary, it sells itself. Freight on it
is reduced to a minimum. Its market is
anywhere and everywhere. Times good
or bad make no difference, except that
when times are dull it sells best. No
matter who else engages in the business,
the demand and the price are unaffected,
1t is business in which there is neither
competition nor combination 1t is an in
dustry that creates and maintains all
other trades and interferes with none of
them. Its production makes the best of
home markets; its manufacture causes
the creation of new wealth. 1t is the
developer of communities, the creator

development, civilization. In its wake
springs up all the arts and sciences which
it employs at the highest wages. 1t calls
to its aid the skilled service of the
smartest men and offers reward commen-
surate with the amount and value of the
effort. Better than any other manufac-
turing industry in the amount, the size
and the permanence of its dividends, it
is unaffected by trusts and is indepen-
dent of and immune from the disasters to
which other forms of manufacture are
liable in the fact that its product is for
ever sought in unlimited quantity, for it
sets the standard of the worlds wealth.
The sale of its product is stripped OF the
expenses that divest other manufactur-
ers of their greatest profit, and the pro-
duct is the quickest got to market of
anything that man produces. Such is
the business and industry of gold min
ing. OF what other human industry can
so much be truthfully said1

The last shot is being put in to tap the

makes it a rather dangerous undertaking.
However, every precaution is being

mine will be thoroughly drained and
ventilated, and large ore reserves opened
ready for stoping. The property has

BILL TO REoRGANIzE BUREAU.
Mayor Wants Weights and Measures Part of
License Department.

A bill is being drafted by James B. Reynolds, the
Mavor's secretary; Assistant Corporation Counsel
Cosby and others for the reorganization of the
part of the regular License Bureau now under
charge of George W. Brown, the Mayors Marshal.
Last summer Mayor Lo-" instructed Mr.. Reynolds
TO formulate some plan for making the Bureau Of
Weit hts and Measures useful the city.
Mr. Reynolds got the twenty inspectors and sealers
together and ordered them to report every day to
him at the City Hall at o'clock. This they have
been doing for some time. The good results al
ready are apparent for three four of the in
spectors have reported 10 Mr.. Reynolds that in the
regular discharge of their duties they have discov-
cred that some of the large grocers are selling
ready weighed packages such as sugar. coffee and
butter, short weights Proceedings are to be
begun against there dealers at once.
There are ten inspectors drawing s1,2o0 year,
and ter sealers. receiving $3.50 year. Under the
Van Wyck administration there was no responsible
head to the bureau, and no one but the men them
selves certified to their payrolis They were in
the habit Of reporting at the office of City Clerk
Scully once day, but after the morning call they
did as they liked, and no one was any the wiser.
One of the inspectors recently was imprisoned for
irregularty in connection with Federal Civil Ser
wee examination. The bureau organized un-
der resolution of the Board of Aldermen. which
provided that Sealer and inSp 5ctor should live
in each of the old Council districts.
There are longer any Council districts. In
Of the European cities the weights and meas
ures bureau is efficient branch of the municipal
government, and the inspectors are successful in
compelling a strict observance of the law regard
ing fun weights. 1t is the intention of Mr.. Reyn-
olds TO give the bureau a responsible head and
hold the employees to strict accountability.

Albany, Jan. 26.-The session Of the Senate to-

first of the measures of the Republican leaders to
maintain the present almost total abolition OF di-
rect State taxation.
1t is the present plan of the Republican leaders to
