and known as the roll assure in the
Daly.West, where Il has been a Won
derful producer, Is also being followed
westerly through Daly-Judge and Is
furnishing a great deal OF ore OF very
good quality. This also Is a promising
part OF the mine and N In new terri
tory. In the extreme west end OF the

chute, and the farthest working west
IN your property, with the exception Of
McSorleys drift ON the LOO level, there
was discovered In October last very
strong chute OF ore which al one time
gave promise Of developing into a boz
nanza. However. the rich ore which
was at that time concentrated gave
way 10 ore Of poorer quality, but II
would not be surprising, and II is to be
expected, that~rlch ore will again be
encountered I'm the McSorley drift on

are as yet of milling grade, but occur
In large quantities. The back ledge on

Is my opinion that we are on top OF the
ore chute. and therefore are driving the

The question Of saving the zinc val
ues contained IN the ores OF the DAILY
Judge mine has been a difficult one for
tine management to solve satisfactorily
Mil Superintendent Sherman has Civ
en- the subject much careful study and
while he has not carried his investlga-
tlons ms far as he would like, he has
nevertheless about reached the conclu-
sion that he has found a method of
treatment which Will prove an entire
success. He says.
Now. regarding the treatment Of
the zinc and iron concentrates, last
summer. AT the request Of your COM
l
the separation OF zinc and iron In the
state Of Colorado, Kansas and Missou-
ri. with view Of finding our what was
being accomplished along this line.
While there are many plants In opera
ton which IN n small way are CONNER
cally successful. yet | did not ind one
that IN my Judgment would be entirely
suited TO treat the Daly-Judge product
T,,II a
different methods by which zinc blende
and iron pyfltes can be separated. one
Is By changing the pyrites 10 magnetic
iron. by giving II slight roast; then
removing the iron from the zinc, with
present many kinds Of these magnetic
separators being manufactured. The
other method requires no roasting OF
the iron, the separation being made by
what is known as an electro-static sep
arator; this class OF separator fepels
rather than attracts the iron, and thus
makes the separation of the two metals
There are at present two different
electric-static machines being manu-
featured IN this country.
ALREADY Investigations have been
carried far enough to make II GER
talnty that q zinc plant can be erected
for treating the Daly-Judge product,
by means Of which the sulphlde OF iron
carrying silver and zine blende may
both be made OF commercial value TO
the company and made to yield a rev.
enue Of from $4,000 to $4,000 per month
on the present production. Either the
magnetic separator or the electr0-sta-
tic can be made to do this work, but as
yet | have not fully satisfied myself as
10 lust which method viii give the best
results.
"In closing desire TO state that you
have mill capable Of handling 400
tons OF ore per day, from which there
can be effected n saving OF from 50 per
cent to 90 per cent OF the lead values,
In the form Of a concentrate that Will
average so per cent lead. That plant
can be erected for treating the zinc and
iron concentrates that would enable the
company to double any profits that It
would be possible to make, while mar
ketlng only the lead and its combined
silver values"
II is ANTICIPATED that the personnel
Of the new board will be Of much DIFF
ferent complexion than at the present
time Several Of the larger eastern
shareholders viii have representation.

OF the corporation during the greater
