BRAGANZA TAILINGS WILL SOON
 BE TREATED.
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

rietta Cyaniding and Development Company, was recently organized un- der the laws of this territory. Its purpose was outlined to treat the tail ings that have accumulated at the Braganza mill, and as well does it pro- pose to handle for reduction all ores that may be mined by the Braganza Company in the future.
 Following out that principle, the Henrietta Company some months ago began the construction of their plant, and now the announcement is made by them that the initial work of treating the tailings that have accumulated for many years will be inaugurated not later than September 1st. The com pany estimates that there are about 10000 tons of this character of pro- duet available, and to the end that they have also contracted to treat all ores that may in the future be subject to this character of reduction, they have erected extensive works and of the most improved type also. Ten leach ing and eight stump and storage vats are in position, while two Shellaberger furnaces, a grill dry, and other me ehanieal utilities make up one of the most complete enterprises of the kind in the territory, considering the daily capacity of the plant.
 The creation of this company must not be blended with that of the Bra ganza Mining Company, or that their interests or objects are in any manner kindred. It is an independent project. It is very probable, nevertheless, on the other hand, that the organization of the Henrietta company has behind it the early resumption of work by the Braganza company on their many mines, that are located at that point, and which have been idle for several m0ths. That this is probable, and that the mines of the Braganza com pany are and always have been, highly regarded in mineral possibilities, but that their milling facilities were en- tirely inadequate to treat the ores proftably, is an established fact, hence the suspension of the company some time ago.
 Some work is now being done by the Braganza company in mine de- velopment there. At a point about 300 feet from the mill the driving of a tunnel was begun a short time ago
 Some work is now being done by the Braganza company in mine de- velopment there. At a point about 300 feet from the mill, the driving of tunnel was begun short time be- fore operations ceased last year. and now this work is again being prose- cuted. This tunnel was undertaken with the object of cross-cutting the many veins of the Henrietta system of Assures and then to drift on the vein through the mountain, gaining thereby not only a practical insight into the ground at great depth, but solving for all time the economical handling of the product, and reducing to minimum of expense the trans portation of ore to the mill, or to the railroad.
 This tunnel has been driven up to the present time q distance of 540 feet, and drifting on the vein is now under headway. The work by the extrac- tion of ores that is given demon strates that the project as originally outlined will terminate successfully. In short, the sentiment of the mining fraternity is universally centered on the fact that if in the earlier workings of the Henrietta at the tunnel site had been selected at the point now given, terprise would have been a handsome tribute to the principles of practical mining.
 It is but reasonable to believe that not many months will pass when thls old time producer will again be run ming successfully, and on the outlines of improved methods. The tunnel that cuts through the mountain near the surface, and which has crumbled and filed in at many places, is an imprac- tieabIe avenue to handle the product from the other side, where the shafts are situated, and the gravity tram that runs down the mountain to the mill has likewise crumbled into de- eayed condition. The Henrietta min ing ground is good property, and we are pleased to again see interest shown in the probable resumption of work on it. It has produced handsomely un- dor oI,rorga conditions of and
