Cyaniding SuIphides.

One sof the most interesting prob
lens in mining has reference to cheap
milling for sulphide ores. On this
point the Mining Record says that in
the sulphide belt of the state there
are large deposits of low grade ore
in which the gold constituting the
greater part of the value, occurs in
cluded in iron pyrites. Owing to the
sharp relief of the mountains and
canyons in Clear Creek, Gilpin and
other sections, the region is admira-
bly, adapted to extensive development
and cheap mining by means of tun-
nels. The problem is cheap treat
ment for the ore after it is mined.
Tests made at the old San Bias
mine near Ward, Colorado, apparently
prove that the problem has been
solved. The ore Is first reduced by
crushers and rolls to a fineness of
twenty-mesh. 1t is then roasted to
drive off the sulphur, and finally 1t is
leached in tanks with cyanide solu-
tion in the ordinary manner. More
than ninety per cent. of the gold val
ues in the ore is recovered.
In the whole process there is only
one danger to be guarded against 1t

expel the sulphur without changing
the ore from granular state to a
matte. A single stick of wood too
much might fuse the mass and pro-
duce matte that could not be treated
with cyanide.
The experiments already made with
the process, continues the Record has
been on commercial scale, and seem
to be conclusive. A rotary furnace
of proved efficiency is now being con-
structed under the direction of Rich.
ard Morrison, the mill superintendent,
and it will be in operation at the
mines within few weeks. Mr.. Nor
rison deserves credit for the boldness
of his plan in attacking the problem.
as well as for its successful execu-
ton. The process promises to be Of
great value in the sulphide belt.

Colorado State School Fund.

Denver, Aug. 2.-There will be dis
tributed among the schools of the
state the sum of $7S,122.41 from the
state school fund this year. This
money comes from the management of
the state school lands by the land
board and arises from the sale of land
or from leases. The total fund was
$S0,7S4, but $2,661.S0 were used in ex-
penses.
The fund is distributed among the
counties according to school popula-
tion following census taken annually
by the county superintendents. 1t will
be interesting to not that some of the
counties of the state draw less than
500 from the fund, showing that their
school population is extremely small.
AS the amount drawn from the fund de-
pends upon the showing made, it is
safe to say that no child escapes
enumeration. Following is the distri-
button by counties, as apportioned by
State Superintendent Katherine Craig:

REGISTERED FOR LAND.
FIRST DAY AT GRAND JUNCTION
Rush Of Land Seekers Not Excessive
All Applications Can BE At
tended to With Ease.

Denver, Aug. IA News special
from Grand junction last night says:
Registration for the opening of the
Ulntah reservation began here at 9
o'clock this morning, with over 1000
persons in line, 800 of whom had re-
manned up all night at the doors Of
the registry office.
After 4:3O this afternoon 1893 appli-
cants for land has been recorded and
the registry Office was closed at that
hour until 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ins. for lack of applicants. The regis
tration to-day demonstrated that the
registry officials will easily handle the
work here unless there be an unex-
pected number of excursionists rushed
in at the last moment.
Trains to Grand Junction to-day
brought 900 people and whatever por-
ton of these presented themselves at
the registration Office was cared for
along with the others. The entry Office
can accommodate 5000 applicants
day with ordinary effort, and a thou
sand additional in pinch.
Consequently the outlook is cheer
full for an orderly, expeditions and sat
isfactory reception Of all who come.
1t was estimated by the registry
clerks that between 150 and 200
women registered to-day. Some appli-
cations by soldiers and sailors through
agents were rejected because the forms
had not been properly filled out. In
most cases there is still ample time to
rectify the errors and secure registra-
tion before August 18th, when the Of
flee closes.
The speed with which the applicants
were passed through the registry Of
flee, entered in the books and sent on
their way astonished dubious people
who had expected slower work and pos
sibly blockade. Before noon the rush
was all over. At that hour there was
lull and the clerks ate lunch.
When the Office opened at 1 o'clock
there were not more than 100 men in
line. The arrival on the midday
trains augmented these by 400, but in
an hour or two the work had slackened
again.
The Midland train from Denver at
1880 O'CLOCK brought 800 land-seekers.
The Denver & Rio Grande arriving i'm
mediately after the Midland, brought
as many more. The Grand Junction
station was alive with people when the
passengers from both trains had dis
embarked. The land boomers moved
uptown in cloud of dust, afoot and in
vehicles, accompanied by much clamor
and excitement.
Many of the prospective homeseek-
ers who arrived in the morning took
outbound trains as soon as they could
get away. The railway station was a
bustling place all day. Travellers are
met at the depot by land agents
loaded with T1iDtah 1iterafura hy pO,
taries' agents seeking business, hotel
runners and others, and from the mo-
ment they enter town all are subjected
to all kinds of business proposals. The
place thus far has had no trouble in
accommodating all who have arrived.
The temporary restaurants and bunk
houses are doing rushing business.
1t is expected that the registry clerks
will have no trouble to register all who
come tomorrow. Captain Valley and
his staff are experts at their business,
one of the force having record of reg
istering LOO men in one day.

NEW LEADVILLE LINE
Over Argentine Pass From Silver
Plume.

Denver, Aug. 2.-The Republican
this morning says: A new railroad
that will make a short line between
Denver and Leadville and one that
will reduce the distance between those
cities from ISL to ninety-five miles, is
under contemplation by the Colorado
& Southern and is to be constructed
soon, according to officials of that
road
The new line will be narrow guage
and will connect the present terminus
at Keystone with the one at Silver
Plume. thus cutting off wide detour
that is now necessary to reach Lead
vile from the eastern side of the
mountains.
E. ]. Wilcox. mining man. has
made announcement that he intends
to construct a narrow guage line
from the c. & S. terminus at Silver
Plume over Leavenworth mountain.
This is to be the Argentine scenic
route and will be nine or ten miles in
length.
The contemplated c. & s. extension
will meet this on the western side of
the mountains, thus forming link
between Silver Plume and Keystone.
The entire distance to be covered by
the proposed lines is less than thirty
miles, but the new route by the Ar
gentine pass is considered by G.. & 8.
officials to be of much strategic i'm
portance, as it will be much shorter

LOUISIANA IS INVADED
QUARANTINE CAUSES TROUBLE
Mississippi Fever Quarantine Boats
Invade Louisiana Waters Ser
ious Trouble Threatened.

New Orleans, Aug. 2.-The relations
between the states of Louisiana and
Mississippi have reached an acute
stage, and from indications at present
1t will change from interviews about
the concealment of cases to a much
more serious matter.
The dignity of the state of Louisiana
has been offended by an armed in
vasion from the sister state, and this
morning Governor Blanchard communi-
Gated with the captain of the naval
brigade which has fully-equipped
gunboat, with view of having it dis
patched to the borders to protect
Louisiana citizens from further indig-
mites.
Mississippi has five armed boats pa
trolling the coast to prevent fishermen
from breaking through the quarantine
lines. These vessels are also assisted
by the United States revenue cutter
Winona.
The Mississippi boats will not allow
Louisiana fishermen to enter Missis-
sippi sound, east of st. Joe Light, but
1t appears that one of these patrol
boats came into Lake Borgne, which is
distinctly Louisiana territory, and one
report says it came up to the mouth
of Lake Borgne canal, which extends
from the lake to the Mississippi river,
distance of only four and a half
miles.
The naval brigade vessel Stranger
draws too much water for service in
that vicinity, but a light-draft boat
will be impressed into service, armed
| with howitzer or two and manned by
officers from the brigade, and will be
sent out to prevent further aggres-
sions.
Some of the territory now patrolled
by the Mississippi boats is now in dis
pute before the Supreme Court of the
United States, both states having laid
claim to it since the Legislature of
Louisiana created an oyster commits
sion and passed laws to protect the
valuable oyster beds in that vicinity.
A Memphis special says:
A clash between the Mississippi and
Louisiana authorities over quarantine
regulations is imminent. A private dis
patch was received in the city yester.
| day stating that Mississippi soldiers
| employed as quarantine guards, had

NEWS FROM the MINES and MILLS
Curtis on Colorado Mines.

William e. Curtis, correspondent of

skelter recklessness.
"A comparison between the products
of the several great industries-min-

pastoral-shows an astonishing growth,
such as few, if any, other states can

total was $132,11S,375. This year 1t is
expected to reach, If it does not pass,

doubled. Silver is practically the only
product that has fallen off. Here are
