VALUABLE TO MINERS.
Important Part Played by Glaciers In
Placer Mining.

Important Part Played by Glaciers In
Placer Mining.
The Alaska glacier from a miner
standpoint, is one CT our greatest
blessings, and will remain SO for many
years.
In California, and in fact in all
parts of the world whore placer min
ing is carried on, great dams must be
built at an enormous expense, within
which water is stored during the wet
season, and is held until such time
as it may be needed, with every
chance in favor of the supply running
out before the end of the season, and
a dry season is apt to stop all pro-
ceedings. But here it is different.
Our glaciers are vast water reserves,
that might be considered automatic in
their working arrangement. Each
winter finds the storage locked up
while it is being partly replenished by
heavy snow fall that settles down,
packs in and becomes part of the
glacier. In the early spring the sun
as a factor in favor of the miner be
gins to assert itself, and long before
the snow disappears in the valley
there is a good supply of water run
ming down through the river bed
this supply keeps on the increase as
the heat of the sun becomes stronger;
and, strange to relate, a rainfall di-
minishes the volume of water In the
river, owing to the fact that the at
mosphere becomes too cold to melt
the ice. and the rain is not sufficient
to make up the difference.
The miner who is depending on a
glacier stream for his supply Of water
is sure to have it in abundance, and
the majority of streams in Alaska are
glacial streams.
This is one of the great economic
features of sluicing or hydraulic min
ing in this country.-Valdez, Alaska
Prospector.

DARNELL-PORTER NUPTIALS.

respondent Gives an Account
of the Affair.

Hillside, June 9.-Editor Journal
Miner. Among the romantic we'd
dings we have thus far failed to chron-
icle is that of Morse Darnell, the
Hillside merchant, with Miss Belle
Porter, the acknowledged belle of
Santa Maria river and granddaughter
of a.. and Mrs. 9. A. Feast, the
former postmaster at Sultan. The
happy couple came to Prescott June
Sth to be united in marriage before
God and man, accompanied by the
groom's mother, Mrs. T. f. Darnell.
They we're met at the station by Mr..
and Mrs. d. Ship, and their son,
Elton, and were driven to the Head
Hotel, where an informal reception
was held by the bride to be. The
party then adjourned to the Hotel
Winsor where an elaborate luncheon
was in readiness. At the invitation
of Mr.. Ship, the health of the
groom and his bride was drunk by all
assembled and it is only to be hoped
that these two favorites of Cupid will
enjoy in their life together all the
happiness wished to them. Later in
the day the Rev. G. H. Toile, in the
presence of some of their most init
mate friends, united the happy pair
in matrimony and it was noticed by
all present what picture the beauti
full Miss Porter, now Mrs. Morse OAR
nell, made as she blushingly received
from her handsome sutton the ring
which eliminated a dream of happi-
ness long cherished by them both. A
splendid ride was then taken over the
new electric street railway, which is
the pride of Prescott, and greatly en-
joyed. Train time being then at hand
rush was made for the depot, where
among shower OF rice, good wishes
and congratulations the bridal party
left for their new home at Hillside
siding, where it is to be hoped they
will prosper and spend many happy
days together. The following is a
partial list of the many beautiful
presents received by the bride and
groom from their many admiring
frineds.

The foil wing item appeared last
Friday in the Los Angeles Times,
among the news from San Bernardino /:
"Sheriff Ralph today received a tele-
gram from the District Attorney at
Prescott, Ariz., stating that the grand
jury there this morning returned in
dictments against Juan Lopez and
Francisco Aguilar, in custody here,
charged with the daring burglary of
the WiIcox-Rose Hardware store at
Cotton several weeks ago. Lopez es-
capped from the Yuma Jail, while
awaiting a trial on a felony charge.
Both are said to be danger Gus outlaws,
and the Arizona officers have warned
the local authorities to give neither a
show for escape. They are both sus-
pected of being implicated in the
murder of Constable Bristol, OF
Chino, though the evidence is not
strong, and it is probable that the
Sheriff will turn them over to Arizona
officers as the evidence against them
for offenses committed there is said to
be conclusive.

AN ENORMOUSLY RICH

AN ENORMOUSLY RICH
COPPER MINE.
1t has been known for some time in
the vicinity OF WickenJurg in the
southern part OF Yavapai county, Ari-
iona, that there IL an area Of mineral
land that promises to surprise the
world With ifs extraordinary deposits
Of rich GOLD and copper ore.
Much has been said about the
famous Orc Grsude which has mil
lions of dollars in sight and the vein
in places is l75 feet in width.
The great Congress ard Octave
mines are also in this same belt and
today are producing hundreds Of
thousands of dollars annually.
Rich Hill. Of which it is positively
known to have given to the world
maLy millions Of dollars in placer
gold IS almost in the center Of this
mineral bal5 which extends northwest
and southeast.
This mineral area is known for its
gigantic deposits of gold and copper
and it is not a district of pinched up
veins and crevices like most mining
sections.
For years there has lain dormant
what Is truly termed a great copper
mine. Its owner being a poor widow
woman Of a very reserved and quiet
disposition who was left alone years
ago by the death of her husband who
was known as prospector OF unusual
Judgment and ability.
His dying request was for his wife
to hold or to the great mime he had
discovered aud some day it would
make her rich.
For years she has tot ed and worked
hard throughout the different mining
camps 20 earn money TO keep her rs
sessa,eut work up and to cauy out
her husbands dying request. that
some day her mines would become
known and she would have plenty.
All kinds of mean tricks have been
resoIte to in order to beat this
woman out OF her great treasure but
without avail as she was up night and
day protecting her interests.
The value Of this great mine can
hardly be estimated The ore de-
posit covers an area of 500 TO 500 feet
in width by over 200 feet in length
aud thousands of tons Of exceedingly
rich surface gold ard copper ores are
exposed TO view Of the maia,hite, azur-
ite,, chalcocile, cuprite and barnite
character with values of $500 to
/ so. 90 in gold aud three to forty per
cent. copper.
/ While Yavspai county is noted fol
its many rich mines it is conceded the
''TEree Black Buttes'' owned by thi;
widow lady will some day eclipse any
mine in that rich belt ana produce
millions Of dCil.rs.
1t is to be hoped that the widow
will receive her just reward for tbs
many years OF hard work and toll sh,
has served to carry out her husband
dying request.

But very little iridosmine has been
saved, as it is rarely ever that miner
was aware Of its presence in the black
sands which be was letting 90 down
the creeks with the tailiugs; with care
and patience, the practical gravel
miner will be able to detect aud save
this very valuable metal.
1t may be sound in the black sands,
in the crevices, on bed rock, and will
lodge wherever gold may find rest
ing place in the placer mining dis
tricts. ..
When it is known that teacup of
iridosmine is worth several hundred
dollars, it bahoo7es the miner to ex-
anime his black sands carefully for
this metal.
During the past two years the usage
to which iridosmine has been put was
the cause Of making a demand for It
in the markets of She world, aud that
demand is increasing % rapidly hat
it will be years before the rrice can
depreciate to any great extent

Platinum in color and streak, Is
dark steel gray. I-iiiun is steel
white. extremely hard metal. Osmium
is an extremely hard, blush or gray
ism white metal. These metals are
to be found in grains and scales, in
round hattened or irregular nuggets.
Iridium and osmiuu, when sssociat-
ed together as an alloy are known as
"Iridosm:ue' or "Osmiridum" and
are usually associated with platinum;
therefore those minerals should be
looked for in the black sands.
Iridcsnins is intusibie and being
heavier than gold can easily be saved
in miners pan. The "Batea" is
better than the pan, as the wood fbers
will assist in saving the fine grains of
the iridosmiue. (The 'Batea' can be
purchased at any store where miners
supplies are sold.)
The black sands carrying chrome
iron and other minerals, being light
er, can to a certain extent be wash
ed over the pan, but cra at care should
be used in banning, ahd a close search
should be made for Indications OF iri-
dosmine as given above.

mine are nearly as sensitive to the
magnet as magnetic iron, it Will not

iridosmiue from magnetic iron. If the
prospector, after finding the dark

he suspects the presence of iridOs-

sample, he will, within a few days,

brought to town show 1t to be of ex-

excels anything now used in this sec
ton for building purposes, being a
delicately notified white and red,
varying from the deepest red to pale
pink. The fracture and cleavage are
both favorable for quarrying and cut
ting into suitable sized blocks and the
tensile strength compares favorsbly
with granite and other building
stones. The territorial capitol build
ing at Phoenix is built of white and
black tufa, this stone having been
selected in preference to all others by
the constructing engineers, for its ap-
pearance, strength and durability.
