We note with regret the evident in
tention in certain quarters to revive
interest in the Salmon river goat trail.
1t will be recalled by readers of the
MINING NEWS that an attempt to saddle
this folly onto the county through the
old board of county commissioners was
nipped in the bud by this paper at the
time, but not before the commissioners
had established road districts to the
mouth of the south fork of Salmon
river; an act which, in our opinion, had
more to do with the growth of the feel
ing of distrust which ultimately over
whelmed the county democracy than
any other single act of that party S
official representatives, and the fact
that an attempt will be, or in fact is
now, being made to saddle this idiosy-
ncrasy upon the state adds nothing
whatever to it's merits. On the con-
trary, the advocacy of this measure al
this time will have the effect of placing
the republican organization of the coun
ty in the light of opposing the Soutf
Fork road project, which is of such vita
Importance to Buffalo Hump, OrgrandC
and the Newsome and Station districts
For it will be said, and not withou
some considerable show of reason, tina
the ''goat trail" is resurected at thi
time for the sole purpose of defeating
the South Fork enterprise, it being Ger
tain that both measures cannot carry
and the ostensible friends of the 'goa
trail" well knowing that the best way t.
secure nothing lies in asking too much
In conclusion we will say from an ex
tended acquaintance with the countr.
over which this trail wonld pass, tina
there is nothing to warrant the cor
struction of such a trail.

through by railroad cut The top of
the shoot lies just under the grass roots;
1t is known to be so feet in thickness
and the bottom not yet reached. II is
not less than 100 feet wide. Its length
is entirely unknown. 1t is believed to
be the largest body Of ore Of this char
acter thus far found in the Black Hills.
When the ores of the Cambrian shall
have been exhausted there still remains
large zone of gold ore in the under
lying Arch@an schists, which in some
respects resembles the Homestake.
Concerning it the Black Hills Mining
Review says it is an enormous vein of
free-milling ore in the states underlying
the Cambrian ore in the Great Mogul
mine. This body of ore has been de-
veloped to width of 300 feet. In char
acter it is similar to the Homestake.
The cyanide mill of the Horseshoe
company is the largest wet-crushing
cyanide plant in operation, 1t has 100
stamps and has a capacity of approx
imately 500 tons per day. At present
ninety stamps are operating, handling
$50 to 400 tons day, and probably since
the first of the year the entire mill has
been running, as machinery was being
installed with that end in view.
The mill practice at the Horseshoe
does not differ materially from other
similar plants of the Hills, with the eX-
ception of the precipitation method.
This is being altered from zinc thread
to zinc dust.
The gold-bearing solution is pumped
into vat having series OF
small pipes in coils on the bottom
which are perforated with small holes,
and, when the vat is nearly full, com
pressed air is turned into the pipes,
creating violent agitation, and buck.

The agitation is continued for several
minutes, during which time the solution
has come in close contact with the zinc,

FROM THE TREE TO THE BOOK.
Processes of Paper Making Shown at
Lewis and Clark Exposition.

PORTLAND, July On trian-
guar platform near the Everett section
in the Washington building, Lewis
and Clark Exposition, stand three i'm
mense rolls of wrapping paper, made of
wood pulp, secured from fir, cedar,
spruce and cottonwood trees of Wash
ington One roll stands at each corner
of the triangle Each weighs more
than ton. is six feet in height, and
more than three feet in diameter. Be
tween these monster rolls are racks
holding phials and dishes, showing the
various chemicals and processes to
which the wood is subjected before it
becomes pulp.
From the standing tree in the forest
to the highly ealendered piece of writ
ing paper on your desk, or the book in
your library, is most interesting and
devious process. The sawyers go into
the woods, select their trees. chop
them down, and haul them to the pulp
mills. They are then cut into four
foot lengths. The logs are then cut
by what is termed a clipper
machine which attacks the logs at one
end and gradually chips it until moth
ing is left. Each chip is about as
ing as postage stamp. These chips
are then taken to enormous watts. and
cooked for many days in water heated
to the boiling point This is done TO
make the wood SOFT and workable.
While the cooking is going on, lime,
soda ash, and sodium carbonate are
placed in the watts and cooked with the
chips. The result is thick, black,
evil smelling pulp, which is washed in
order to dispose of the black ash.

Blaze Observed In Time
To Prevent It's
Spreading
Bucket Brigade Acquits
Itself With Much
Credit

Fire broke out in the rear of the
newly located CuriO store adjoining
the Prescott hotel on Center street
yesterday about the noon hour, and
but for prompt attention on the part
of the proprietor and employees of the
Harter restaurant in the hotel, dan
gerous fire might have resulted.
In unpacking various cases of goods
the empty boxes and lighter material
used in shipping goods were thrown
out in the rear of the store, and in
some manner lot of this refuse be-
came afre.
An employee in the restaurant adjoin-
ing the store saw the blaze in time to
prevent it spreading, and after giving
the alarm, started a bucket brigade
from the rear of the restaurant. The
fire had burned high board fence be-
fore it was extinguished, and had en-
tirely consumed lot of boxes and 9th
er infammable material that was lying
in heap back of the Curio store.
The first efforts of the bucket line
indicated that there would be no need
of the fire department, and no alarm
was turned in. The damage done is
nominal.

Grant Brothers Said To
Have Secured The
Contract
Working Force Will Be
In The Harness
Monday

Grading is to be commenced during
the ensuing week for the foundation
and surrounding yard of the new smell
ter at Val Verde, Grant Bros. having
secured the contract for this work. The
news of the letting of the contract was
given out by passengers on the train
from Phoenix last evening, but no.
thing is to be learned as to the de-
tails of the work, the amount of earth
to be removed or the price to be paid.
II was announced that James Cashon,
representing the contracting firm, was
yesterday loading material for com
mencing work at Val Verde, includ-
ing all the tools needed. From such
information as was at hand last night
It is inferred that an attempt will be
made to start this grading Monday,
if possible.
In view of the work which will this
week be under way at Fort Whipple,
the Val Verde smelter contracts, and
the city reservoir construction that
viii be started without delay, there is
reasonable assurance that the money
to be paid out in wages will mean
the employment of a large force of men
in the aggregate, and a consequent good
effect on the general business of Pres
colt.

OLD SOL is DOING AN
UNUSUAL STUNT
lFrom Saturday's Daily.)

FROM saturday 5 Daliy-)
Those who have not heard of the re-
cords taken by Dr. W. f. Day, with re-
ference to the weather during the last
few days, viii be surprised at the re-
suits. When questioned as to the un-
usually hot weather, he said that in
all the thirty years he had lived in this
section and during which he had tax
en- the temperature with instruments
made for government service, and
which are supposed to be as perfect as
they can be made, he mad never met
with as hot weather as has been
shown by the thermometer during the
past four days.
On the Fourth the maximum temper
allure was 1O5 degrees; on the day fol-
lowing the temperature was JOS de-
grees, and on the 9th the thermometer
registered 10 degrees.
When questioned as to the manner of
exposure fthe thermometer, DIR. Day
replied that he had what is known as
the government shelter, and such as is
required by the government. The cor
reetness of these instruments Is beyond
question, and DR.. Day takes both the
maximum and minimum temperature
each day on separate instruments. In
comparing his instruments with the av-
erage thermometers sold to the public
he has found little variation.
According to the record of the wealth
er for many years past, Juss 9th will
go into history as the hottest day ex-
perieneed in Prescott during some 80
years previous to that date Reports
from visitors arriving from southern
points during the past few days indi-
cate that the weather is proportionate-
ly hot at other points throughout the
southern districts, more particularly at
such points as are free from the influ-
enee of the moisture to be noticed in
the lower valleys
All old-timers are unanimous in de-
elaring that the exceedingly hot wea-

SMALL MIDDAY BLAZE.
storeroom Catches Fire from Rubbish
Heap.
Iron friday S DAM


Through the carelessness of some
one who had started rubbish fire in
the rear of the W. W. Ross drug store,
what might have become a dangerous
fire was started at about noon yester-
day. The burning rubbish in some
manner spread the blaze to small
storeroom used by the druggist. and
when the danger was discovered an
alarm was sent in.
By prompt work on the part of the
fire boys, the only damage was confined
to the storeroom, and the fire was soon
distinguished, with the loss of perhaps
800 to the druggist.
By good luck the o. K. hose cart
was standing in front of the Burke
hotel, and a few of the company lost
no time in coupling to the nearest fire
plug, and getting water on the blaze.
1t was fortunate that the FIRE failed
to reach tank of gasoline that was
standing near the burning building.
The Dudes were close second in get
ting water on the fire, and it required
but a few moments to subdue the
flames.
Tommy Duke, who had his ersonal
effects stored in the wareroom, lost his
belongingsf the fire destroying his
bedding and other personal property.
The smoke from the fire was first
seen by people standing on the plaza,
and until the flames were noticed, no
attention was paid to it. 1t was sug
gested after the run of the hose boys
that it might be good policy to leave
a hose cart standing on the street,
where it could be easily reached, in
view of the extremely dry season, and
the chance of there being an ugly blaze
started in the vicinity of the bust
ness ortion of the town.

JOHNS GETS THE Birdie.
Buys a Chance and Secures a Bargain
(Frsm fridays Daily.)


A. A. Johns seems to be almost as
wise as he is lucky in the matter of
pulling down prizes in raffles. The
handsome bride that was yesterday
ratified at the Robinson cigar store
become the property of the willy chief
of the fire boys by good management.
While the owners of chances were
shaking the bones, someone shook for
Recorder Mosher, who was absent. This
lucky individual made the high throw,
counting II. AS the balance of the
chance holders were shaking, "Tony'
saw Mosher pass the cigar stand, and
offered him $40 for his chance. The
county recorder waited less than
minute to accept the offer, and despite
several other interested parties want
ing get Mosher's chance, Johns
held him to his bargain, and finally
closed the deal.
The fire chief thought there were but
a few more to throw the dice, but up
on his return learned that less than
half of the chances had been shaken.
Then all the cowboys holding chances
tried to beat the throw that Johns had
bought, but in the end the bride
went to the chief, the nearest throw
to the one he bought being A. The
bride is beautiful piece of work, and
is valued at about $50.
