Dry Concentrating Machine to Work
Low Grade Ores.
J. ]. Tonkin Of New York City ar
rived in Eureka Tuesday. and as the
representative of an Eastern company
which has q new process for reducing
low grade ores, spent a few days look
ing into the various mining properties
here.
To the SENTINEL Mr.. Tonkin stated
that he was very favorably impressed
with the outlook in Eureka, but that he
was not prepared to make an extended
statement for publication at this time.
He said he would return to Eureka in
September, and that he will bring with
him the two other Directors who with
himself have the controlling interest in
the company that has been organized to
put the new process in operation. An
expert assayer aud metallurgist will ac-
company the party, and it is thought
that by that time full particulars Of the
company's plans and intentions will be
given to the public.
The new process in which Mr.. Tonkin
is interested, is the dry concentrating
proposition mentioned in the SENTINEL
Of July 9 in connection with a shipment
of $500 pounds Of ore from the Adams
Hill and Prospect Mountain mines to
test the new process. No returns have
yet been received from this ore, and Mr..
Tonkin stated that it had not arrived
when he left the East. 1t is claimed
that ore as low in value as $3.50 can be
worked at q profit, and that the ma
chimes will be put on the market at a
figure that will come within the reach
Of any mine owner who has need Of one.
Mr.. Tonkin is a first cousin of w. j.
Tonkin of Eureka. He is the inventor
of the Tonkin water tubular boilers,
which he manufactures at Oswego.
N. Y. where he employs 800 men in
his works. He is a man of pleasing ad-
dress and shrewd business character
istics. He came here and investigated
the conditions existing in Eureka Min.
ing District, asked neither bond nor
favor, but appeared satisfied with the
prospect and has promised to return.
The result Of his visit will be awaited
with interest. for if his low.grade dry
concentrating process Is a success, the
promised future for Eureka is at hand.

rrepar,ns Veal. for Market.

Calves from three to six weeks old,
and weighing about 100 pounds, or say
from 80 to 100 pounds. are the most
desirable weight for shipment. The
head should be cut out, sc as to leave
the hide of the head on the skin. The
legs should be cut off at the knee
joint. The entrails should all be re-
moved, excepting the kidneys; the liver
and heart should be taken out. Cut the
carcass open from the neck through the
entire length-from head to bum
gut. If this is done they are not apt
to sour and spoil during hot weather.
Many a fine carcass has spoiled in hot
weather because of it not being cut
open Don't wash the carcass out with
water, but wipe out with a dry cloth.
Don't ship until the animal heat is en-
tirely out of the body, and never tie
the carcass up in a bag, as this keeps
the air from circulating, and makes
the meat more liable to become
tainted.-Market Report

white men and canned goods as so
closely associated that they are nearly
synonymous. Wherever the white
man is seen, canned meats. fruits and
vegetables are found.
When Mr.. Holmes visited Alaska
recently he carried with him a phono-

machine before. When the machine
was started and the sound OF a human
voice came from the trumpet the In

gravely for a time. then approached

When the machine finished its cylin-
der and stopped the Indian pointed at

marked:
