News from Orogrdnde.

The V. & o. Mining company
have tunnel No. 3 in 235 feet and
the lower, or main tunnel, is in
125 feet. The grade for the
flume, which is nearly a mile
long, is completed.
Fred Burbidge, James F. Wall
and James F. Parks were visitors
at the mine during the week.
The G. R. M. & M. Co. are
going steadily ahead with the
Improvements. The sawmill was
started again Tuesday. The mill
was shut down for a short time
in order to install a boiler and
engine and to build a new skid
road. They are now prepared to
cut $4,000 to $4,000 feet of lum-
Der daily. Work will commence
on the fiume, which will be a
mile long, Immediately. The size
of the fume will be three feet
wide, thirty inches high, and will
be constructed of 1 1-2 inch lum-
Der. A building has been added
to the cyanide mill for the zinc
boxes. They will be placed be-
low the teaching tanks instead Of
above as formerly, and away
from the jar of the stamps. A
large portion of the freight ar
rived during the week. Most of
the pumps, classifers and dis
tributers are now on the ground.
S. B. Combest is assaying for the
company again. They have in
stalled Muller's cupel machines
and new furnaces, so they can
now easily make a hundred assays
daily. The mill will be in oper-
alton again in about three weeks.
The Thunder Mountain COM
pany's mill is running steadily
with the exception Of a short de-
lay caused by a broken feeder.
The mill is handling nearly 25
tons daily. The company is mil
ling ore from the Champion.

SCOTS MINE FOUND.
w. D. Miles Accidently Discovers the
Great Treasure Vault

A special from Goldfeld, New,
to the Interstate News says
that in a rock-ribbed canyon, sur
rounded on every side save one,
by precipitious walls, at the ex-
treme southern end Of the Funer-
al range, which encloses all the
east Death Valley, is located the
mysterious Walter Scott's treas
ure vault. By merest accident
the location of SCOTS Irish mine
has been discovered. Suffering
from thirst and nearly exhausted
w. D. Miles wandered into the
spot where Scotty holds forth
when in his desert retreat. His
home is in cave in the rocks.
The apartments and furniture
consist of desk, two easy chairs,
a bed, dresser and bath tub.
Near by is a spring of water,
Here Scott keeps what food he
needs. His treasure vault is
located farther up the canyon.
All over the grounds are location
notices posted by Scott. Scott
did everything possible to oblit-
crate the trail to his mines. In
one place he travelled over half g
mile covering only few yards,
and turned up boulders behind
him. Miles reached Bullfrog this
morning and reported the discov.
cry. Like wildfre the news
spread over Bullfrog district. A
stampede began. Hundreds out
fitted and mad rush has begun
to the scene of Scott's mine
Scott may lose his mine unless
he has it securely located.

Something New in Mining.

r During the many years the
silver-lead mining industry has
been fiourishing in the Occur
d'Alenes, it was inevitable that
a certain amount of shines as
we'll IS heavier concentrates,
should be lost and carried away
by waste water and be deposited
in the creek or river beds in the
first instance, the spring freshets
again taking it up and redeposit-
ing it in an ever widening area
until at the present time it is said
the bars of portions of Canyon
creek and the south fork of the
Coeur d'Alene river, from Wallace
to Kingston, a point considerably
below Wardner, carries concen-
trates in commercial quantities;
in fact, returns of 25 per cent is
claimed.
AS was inevitable, the possibil-
tiles of this ideal proposition was
bound in time to suggest itself to
some bright mind, and the mind
in this instance belongs to |. M.
Cornthwait, of Spokane, Wash.
manager of the Amateur Athletic
Association Of that city, who
promptly took the matter to a
number of friends of moderate
means, with the result that a close
corporation was formed consist
ing of 25 shares of $500 per share,
by which method enough money
was raised to install concentra-
tor with a capacity of two car
loads per week output. The latest
report to reach here from the
scene of the enterprise was con-
tanned in a letter from Mr.. Corn
thwait to A. w. Boyd of this
camp, who is an owner, and which
states that the initial run has
been made and that it was a pro-
nounced success.
DR.. G. A. Parks G.. L. L. Bas-
kett and A. w. Boyd, all of Elk
City, together own one share.
The Mining News is informed
that the enterprise is now being
Incorporated.

Iron Springs Cyanide Plant.

Harvey Harris, who is in charge
of the work now in progress of
Transforming the Rankin nitric
acid plant on Rapid river, now
owned by the Iron Springs Con-
solidated Mining company, into a
cyanide plant, came down Satur-
day afternoon and returned Mon
day morning. He states that it
is the expectation to have the
plant in operation by the 18th of
September, everything being in
readiness for the tanks. With
the changes contemplated the
plant will have capacity of so
tons per day. Ore will be sup
piled from the Washington and
Mary claims, which are in close
proximity to the plant.
Mr.. Harris brought with him

lurium ore from the White Rose

which the strike was made a few

show considerable free gold.

The Northern Star.

This company owns group OF
ten claims southeast of the Jum-
bo, on the Lake creek slope. Mr..
Schultz reports the ore as very
high grade, running from $53 to
$581 per ton. The property is
situated in one Of the best tim
bered sections Of the district and
is close enough to Lake creek to
utilize the waters Of that stream
for power for all proposes through
out the entire year, being able to
secure a 300 foot head. EXten-
sive development work is planned
and is being carried out at the
present time, one feature of
which is a double compartment
tunnel which will be begun in the
near future. When completed
this tunnel will tap the ledge at
a depth of 1000 feet, besides
opening others known to exist,
intersecting its course. The COM
pany is at present employing

The Monuments Control.

The United States land depart
ment has recently rendered a
decision to the effect that in the
event of an error in the descrip-
tion of mineral claim surveys or
of the line tying the claim survey
to a government land survey COR
ner, the monuments must control,
which is quite at variance with
the position taken by that depart
ment nearly two years ago, when
there was much controversy over
this subject. On April %, 1904,
congress amended section 1927 of
the statutes in such a manner
that this principle is clearly enun-
ciated, and the recent decision of
the United States general land
Office referred to is in direct line
with the amendment, and was no
doubt influenced by it to a great
extent, so that hereafter there
need be no apprehension when
an error is detected in the survey
of mineral claim for patent, as,
regardless of all errors, the mon
uments must control. This was
the position taken by the Mining
and Scientific Press in the latter
part Of 1903, when the land office
at Washington caused consterna-
tion throughout the mining states
Of the west by announcing that
the surveys must stand, and that
the 'calls" Of the deputy Uuited
States mineral surveyors must
take precedence over monuments
and everything else. The decis-
ion was manifestly so unjust, and
so contrary to the purpose and
intent of the law, that there was
no hesitancy in declaring even al
that time that the monuments
must control, and any case where
in this question was the issue the
United States supreme courr
would decide in favor of the claim
owner and against the decision
of the land office. So earnestly
did the miners Of the west takt
up and combat the proposition
that congress quickly. recognized
the necessity of settling the poin
