Getting the News.

The Spokane Chronicle tells its read
ers the American Eagle will put on a
mill next summer if the ore uncovered
this winter warrants. To some of the
papers readers that is news, but to
everybody here and great many in
Spokane it is simply a perversion of
fact: The American Eagle has had a
mill on the property for four years. If
the genius who presides over the
mines and Mining" department of the
Chronicle would heed the time-hopored
custom of giving his exchanges credit
and quit rehashing his department
would contain more truth and therefore
be of better service to miners and in
yestprs. The Chronicle is an excellent
sheet, and the News would like to see
it's news from the mines up to the stand
ard of the rest of the paper.

Theodore Parks, manager of the Col

Work on the Buster mine has reached
that point now where there will be no

Elk Gold Mining and Milling Property.
C. w. Andrews finished the work on
the property of the Elk Gold Mining &
Milling company for which he had a
contract, and left Sunday for his home
in Wardner. He says the property now
shows up well, although the work done
on it is not extensive. There is shaft
40 feet and tunnel 125 feet. Mr.. An

and he says the ore he took out on his
company's property has much the ap-
pearance of the ore in the shoot on the
Buster. Mr.. Andrews thinks the Buster

Thunder Mountain improvements.
Manager S. L. Boyer of the Thunder
Mountain mine went to Spokane a few
days ago to place an order for machin-
cry and other equipment that will be
absolutely necessary if the mill is to be
operated this winter. A heating plant,
heavy gasoline engine and more ore
cars will be among the added equipment.
This will be the first winter for the mil
and it was not decided until recently
that they would run the mill this winter
it having been their intention to put il
; the next few months in development
work only. Reports from the mine are
that they have struck ore that was no
; expected; that all the bins are full, ant
| that in order to make room for NOR,

IN THE DIXIE CAMP
Prosperity Smiles ON Property
Owners There.
SEVERAL MILLS AF WORK
Camp Has Most Substantial Appearance
Since Placer Days.

Iedlpll N1lOOlCCOIl, WIN lloo bCClt
working for the Pennsylvania
Dixie mining company in the
Dixie district, arrived in town a
few days ago, and brings reports
that the district is in a prosper
GUS condition.
The Pennsylvania-Dixie COM
pany is working a big force of
men. Atpresent the work is be-
ing done in an upraise in the mid
die tunnel to catch the ore shoot
which is exposed in the level
above. This company has three
parallel lodges, the width of
which run as follows; No. l,
4 feet of quartz; No. 2, 6 feet of
quartz; No. 9, 10 feet Of quartz.
All this quartE assays from SO to
$40 per ton, and specimen rock
as high as $50. This company
has opened the property with
open cuts and tunnels for 5000
feet and have found the values
uniform. There are three tun-
nels, and the lower tunnel has
reached perpendicular depth of
220 feet and has crosscut 16 feet
of ore which will run SIP per ton.
The intention of this company is
to push this tunnel into the
mountain and cut the other two
lodes. Mr.. Sendker, who has
had wide experience in the mines
of Colorado and Idaho and other
districts, is superintendent on
this property. The ore that is
now blocked out has encouraged
the company SO much that they
now have plans under way to in
stall a 10-stamp mill which they
hope to have in operation by the
middle Of next July,
The Comstock mill is running
night and day, and Mr.. Hines,
superintendent for the Hines,
Burke & Booi company, says they
are running their little mill, with
fine results, and in the spring
they will double their capacity
Helen Smith is doing hel
assessment work on her many
good claims. She has some ol
the best claims in this district
and she has done great deal o1
development work.
Mr.. Middleton says taking tn.
Dixie camp as a whole it look
better than it has since the goot
old placer days, the producing
quartz properties giving the plac
a substantial base on which ma.
be built one of the best gol'
camps in Idaho. The rich strik
made on the Comstock last wee
is still the principal topic for con

PROTECT INVESTORS
Mining Congress Proposes Law to
Punish the Grafters.
DEPARTMENT OF MINING
Congress Asks Federal Government to
Establish One.

A resolution was adopted by
the mining congress, now in ses-
sion in Denver, governing the
enactment of a law by congress
along the lines suggested by
Governor Pardee of California, to
prevent mining frauds. The
Pardee law reads:
ANY person who knowingly
makes or publishes in any way
whatever, or knowingly permits
to he so made or published, any
book, notice, report, statement,
exhibit or other publication of or
concerning the affairs, pecuniary
conditions of property of any
corporation, joint stock associa-
ton, co-partnership or individual
with said book, prospectus, not-
ice, report, statement, exhibit or
other publication shall contain
any statement which is false, or
which is willfully or fraudulently
exaggerated, or which is intended
to give or which shall have a
tendency to give to the public
generally or to any person a less
or greater apparent value to the
shares, bonds or property of said
corporation, joint stock associa-
ton, co-partnership or individual,
than said shares, bonds or prop
erty or any part thereof, shall be
guilty of felony. and if con-
victed shall be imprisoned for not
more than five years and fined
not more than $5O00."
For Mining Department.
Another resolution introduced
by Governor Pardee was unani-
mously adopted. 1t is as follows:
Believing that the co-opera-
tion of our government with the
American farmer, through the
department Of agriculture, has
demonstrated the wisdom of this
cooperation in giving direction
to American industrial forces;
and,
Believing that the co-opera.
ton of our government with the
American miner, through a de-
partment of mining, will give ar
additional and conclusive proof

vanced through this method o1
cooperation between the govern
ment and people; therefore be i
Resolved, That the Ameri
can mining congress, in conven
ton assembled, most earnestly
urges upon our federal congress
the importance of creating a de
partment Of mining, co-ordinat'
with the department of agricul
ture."
Upon motion of Delegate Free
King of Connecticut, the presi
dent was instructed to appoint
committee of five to report upol
the best methods to pursue to sc
cure the creation of nationa

EARLY GOLD MINING
Yellow Metal Was Sought as Early
as the First Century.
SOME OF THE METHODS
Chemical PROCESSES Had Inception in
Nineteenth Century.


Mining and Scientific Press:
That gold was one of the earliest
metals known can scarcely be
questioned, for, occurring natur-
ally in the metallic state, its
bright color and lustre were we'll
calculated to attract the attention
of primitive man and must have
led him early to apply it to his
needs, both for use and adorn-
ment. The first methods for the
obtaining Of gold, neglecting the
infrequent large nuggets which
might be picked out by hand,
were simply a natural modifca-
tion of the action of the streams,
among the sand and gravel Of
which the gold occurred. OBJ
serving that the gold was ex-
posed in rifles where the lighter
sand had been carried forward by
the action of the current, it was
no difficult task to learn by ex-
pertinent so to control water cur
rents as to carry away the lighter
material occurring with the gold,
leaving the heavy metal behind. =
This was the first, and for a long.
time the only method; and in it's
various forms, as panning, the
use of cradle, long tom and sluic-
ing, is still of great Importance,
especially in the development of
new districts. In fact, it may be
said that in general the history
of any mining district is a brief
resume of the history Of mining
az whole. = '.2'es .r'sA ~.
The earliest detailed account Of
gold mining and milling opera
tions is by Pliny (75 "A. d. who
describes three. methods, the
washing of stream sand and
gravel, the excavation through
, shafts of what seems to have
: been deep gravels, or the soft
gossan of a vein, with subsequent
washing, and the undermining of
large areas which were then
caused to cave by cutting away
the tirnbering. Water for these
! purposes was brought in aque-
ducts elaborately constructed at
great expense, and he also de-
! scribes the use of sfuices cut in
the bedrock and covered on the
l bottom with the branches of some
plant, the identity Of which is not
; now known.
An easy Improvement of such
, operations is to employ some form
!. of cloth to catch and retain the
l fine particles of gold as they are
pushed and carried along the bot
tom. How soon this improves
ment was made cannot be known,
for the next trustworthy account
of such operations is that of
Agricola Gin 1861 who describes
methods that had evidently, at
that time, long been known.

But in the towns which are small that the real
leaders lead the town, and say We going to

to introduce electric light, not to introduce it

who are like the Phoenican navigators in the sea-
ports of Old Spain, men who really foreigners.
Such the American leaders of the small
cities, especially in the small cities and large towns
of the Middle West have a large responsibility
in such matters as we are discussing here, which
relate to emigration from the seaport into the
interior
| have not thought that the great mass of the
Middle West fully understood the Importance of
more careful regulation of immigrants within the
United States In 1879 | heard the Governor of
Kansas say in an address to thirty thousand people
that Kansas did distress herself about securing
emigrants from Europe. He said that if among
the States of the Valley of the Mississippi, Kansas
had her share of the immigration of that year, she
would receive fifteen thousand people. And with
superb pride he said: In fact she receives more
than fifteen thousand people every day of the
summer, and they come not from worn-out Europe
but from the best cities of the East, from which
they bring to us the best people
That a magnificent boast, and | knew
Kansas and know Kansas, | think it hardly
exaggerated. Now that condition of things is one
which the statesmen of the Mississippi Valley ought
to maintain. They ought to what has made such

am fond of saying that for
tunately for America the United
States is governed by the public
opinion of the smaller cities and
the larger towns. For reasons
which we need not discuss, the
larger cities are generally pro-
vincial, and in our case the
eastern cities are generally under
the local government of people
who do not know America. An
Irish officer in high position in
one of the seaport cities once
asked me if all the signers of
the Declaration of independence
were contemporaries. That is a
good enough illustration of a
certain ignorance of America
and Americans which makes it
impossible for such men really
to guide the American common
wealth.
