mace, There have been many
efforts to overcome this mechani-
cal difficulty, and several have
succeeded on a laboratory scale,
but have always failed CONNER
cially.
THE invention whereby oil
fuel may be used for the pur.
pose is simple. Not to be too
technical, the stack is inclined
at such an angle that while it
may be fed and kept full from
the top by gravity; the ore, par
TALLY supported by the lower in
clined side of the furnace, does
not run, though as it fuses it
freely flows down the incline to
the crucible, whence it is drawn
off in the usual manner. The
heaviest Obtainable Bakersfield
oil is used and is introduced to
the charge through burners of
special design. The blast is pro-
duccd us in ordinary vertiaal fur
naces. Combustion is found TO
be very complete, and the heat
is as intense as that generated
by tie best coke. The furnace
at jerome is treating fifty tons
of ore per twenty-four hours,
with an average oil consumption
of thirteen barrels, which means
a saving Of 80 per cent in fuel
cost and 10 per cent in labor, as
compared to reduction of the
same ore with coke,
The need for an burning
blast furnace is for the smelling
of copper ores. Coke is not only
expensive but the supply is al
ways source OF anxiety, and
shutdowns have occurred be-
cause of scarcity from various
causes. In the great copper re-
gions of Nevada, Arizona and
Mexico, oil is the plentiful,
cheap, easily handled fuel. 1t
is said that it's use for smelling
n blast furnaces would effect an
economy sufficient to cause very
material increase in net earnings
and TO render table copper
ores that arc now are now con
sidered of too low grade.

superintendent, has been on the
ground doing development work
since October of last year and IS
very enthusiastic over the outlook.
He is now hauling mining timber
to the mine and getting things i'll

SUCCESSFUL USE OF OIL
IN SMELLING COPPER ORE
Problem of Substituting Crude Petroleum
For Coke is Solved by Mechanical
Engineers at Jerome, Arizona

The News, of jerome, Arizona
is authority for the statement
that the problem of substituting
California crude oil for coke in
smelling copper ores is now in
successful operation OH a conf
mercial scale at Chloride, Ari-
IONA, where for the past fourteen
days, q blast furnace has been
continuously fed with copper ore
and as continuously has dis
charged the smelted metal at
the lowest vent.
This invention," the Jerome
News, is by a Los Angeles man,
who owns the patents and will
manufacture oil burning blast
furnaces in that city.
THE particular furnace used
for experimental work was built
at the Fulton Iron Works from
plans drawn by Greenleaf d
Rineroll, mechanical engineers
of Los Angeles.
Briefly, an ordinary blast fur
mace is Il stack into which coke,
ore and lluXing materials are fed
from near the top. Through this
charge, from the bottom, is
forced Il constant blast of air
which, by supplying oxygen
plentifully, causes rapid combus-
ton and intense heat. The coke
burns to ash and the molten ore
gathers in the crucible at the
bottom, whence it is drawn off.
Non-metallic substances are dis
carded as Stag and the liquid
metal is cast into pigs. This
process is constant and barring
accidents, should go on for
months in the same furnace with
out interruption.
"All stacks have heretofore
been vertical for no particular
reason save that they have al
ways been so. Tried with oil
fuel in place of coke, they have
invariably failed, because the
charge, lacking the strong sup
port of intermixed coke when
heated to the turing point, drops
into the crucible and freezes,
as it is called, running the fur

Shipping Ore From Cherry.

The Vulcan Mining Co at
Cherry Creek are shipping twelve
cars of ore via Wells to salt
Lake. for reduction. 1t is a good
sign for the old camp to see ore
shipped out that will net the
owners from $50 per ton up.
Shere are several fine properties
in the Cherry district and the
camp will be hummer a little
later in the season.

The question of all aliens rights
to hold mining claims has been dis,
cussed in Manhattan considerably
of late. A pretty good authority
on mining laws asserts that this
question has been decided by the
Supreme Court i'll which it is held
that an alien has all the rights of a
citizen in the matter of locating
claims. The only difference cited
is that upon application for a pat
ent an alien must declare his inten-
ton of becoming a citizen of the
United States before a patent will
be issued by the government.

Mining News of That Section
Cyanide to Be Installed.
L. A. Wayland and son and J.
I. Cassell arrived here from Thun-
der Mountain last Monday, and
will remain till after the democra-
tic county convention at Cotton
wood next Saturday. They report
the mining outlook for that coun-
try good. Mr.. Wayland and others
recently sold some very valuable
property to Boston capitalists, who
were represented by Victor We'll,
Of Boston. We understand it was
a cash deal Of s12O, 600. This prop
erty is we'll located and consider
able development work has been
done. This work consists of 15
tunnels, shafts and open cuts, vary
ing in length from 10 to $50 feet.
Mr.. Wayland has bonded two
groups of properties to Lovejoy &
Russell company for SO, 900 for
three months, and IL other claims
to Boston capitalists for $50. 900
for three years. Capt. Treweeke,
general superintendent Of the Sun
nyside property, is making arrange
ments to install cyanide plant on
that property this fall. The plant
is to be 1OO-ton capacity. On the
property there is body Of five
acres of free milling surface ore
which goes sc to SIS per ton. Capt.
Treweeke thinks he can protitably
handle So rock when the new plant
is installed.
While speaking Of the mines ol
that section, Mr.. Wayland said:
"There was good strike just
before / left. This was made un.
der Lightning Peak, south of Sun
nyside property about 1000 feet,
by M. G. Spencer, who was former.

Irrigation District Election.

On the 10Th of this month an election
will be held in Mason Valley and Smith
Valley for the purpose of deciding
whether or not an irrigation district shall
be established in Lyon county compris-
ing the land in the two valleys above
mentioned. Only electors within the
boundaries OF the proposed district can
vote on the question. This means, prac-
tically, the people of these two valleys.
The notice of election, published else
where in the TIMES, gives the inforna-
ton as to where the voting places are to
be in the three voting districts and who
the persons are to be voted Tor as direct
ors of the district As about 95 per cent
of the property owners and water users
in the proposed district signed petition
asking that this election be held, it is
reasonably certain that the question will
carry. 1t will take a two-thirds vote,
however, to win, and everybody who has
the interest of this section of the county
at heart and a desire to see some progress
sive move made towards the establish
ment of an irrigation system here should
cast a vote in favor of the establishment
of the district Turn out on the 18th
and vote "Yes" for the establishment of
Lyon County Irrigation District.
