ence of the international Chris
tian Police association, estab-
lished in 1888, which has now
branches in connection with most
of the police forces of the United
Kingdom as we'll as in the colonies
and dependencies, and some in the
United States. Its object is the
promotion of the temporal and
spiritual welfare Of all policemen
and their families by providing
educational classes, social gather.
ings and meetings for the study
Of Gods Word, and the culture OF
the spiritual life, and also the el
couraging Of total abstinence and
purity Of life. 1t also establishes
orphanages and hospitals and ac-

the remarks of Sergt. Wheeler of
the Strand police station, London,
who said: "a policeman's daily
experience is not conducive to
high standards of moral living.
They are brought so constantly in
contact with vice and crime, and
they see so much of the artificial.
ity and sham of human nature,
that many of them are apt to lose
all confidence in purity and truth.
But a policeman can do more than
lock a man up. He can arrest a
man in his sins. Some time ago
saw a man trying to get into a
house in the early morning not
his own house. He was too drunk
to know the difference, and took
him to the lookup, but on the way
"A spoke to him about the folly OF
drink, and in his cell / knelt with
him and prayed that God might
give him power over his evil hab-
its. When that man came out he
hunted me up and told me that
had given him a new lease of life
and that he had resolved never to
touch liquor any more and to be
an upright man. | lately visited
him in his home, and his wife told
me that the home which used to be
a little corner of perdition be.

but the mine is reported to be showing
up exceptionally well.

ANOTHER CRESCENT DEAL
Spokane Talent Takes Grant Reef
Group-Camp Can Mine $50
Ore at a Profit.

Crescent, New, Sept s-The consumma-
ton Of another sale of mining property
in this district is reported this week by
j. j. Hennessey, the well-known Spokane
mining man. He has closed deal in the
interests of himself and other Spokane
bins, r. X. Nell, D. s. Norman, Booth
and the Poison brothers. The property
these northern mining men have just
purchased is the Grant Reef group, COM
prising three claims. II is situated just
east of the Double Standard group,
owned by Dennis Sullivan, the multi
millionaire, and from which some rich
ore has been shipped carrying values in
gold and silver, the values in silver rang
ing as high as 5000 ounces in the recent
past.
The Grant Reef group adjoins the
Double Standard on the east and south,
and is traverSed by what apeparS to be
true fissure vein varying from six to
twelve feet in width. and when questioned
on the values Mr.. HenneSSey said he had
spent some $1,000 prospecting the ledge
having had a force Of men continuously
at work since taking an option of the
property three months age. This week
has demonstrated to his entire satisfac-
ton that the vein carries high values at
every point yet exposed, and reaching in
some instances as high as $50 to $50 per
ton in gold. The rock is of a free milling
nature and can be treated on the ground
at a minimum cost The company has a
spring of water on the property that is
sufficient for all domestic purposes now,
and with a reasonable amount of de-
velopment il is believed that plenty of wa
ter can be got to operate a mill to ham
die the ore.
In any case, the Salt Lake Route makes
an extremely low rate on ores running
$50 per ton, as they transport this qualii-
ty of ore to the smelters in Salt Lake
valley for $3.50 per ton from Nipton sta
ton which is four miles from the COM
pany's property. This makes the mining
of $50 ore in this district very prof
liable enterprise. as the cost of extraction,
hauling TO the railroad and treatment
charges will not exceed $15 per ton. plus
$50 railroad rates. which leaves all over
500 clear for the operator.
Mr. Hennessey is very enthusiastic over
the Crescent district, and says there is
stronger mineral indications TO the square
mile here than can be found in a whole
township in any of the older camps fur
Their north. and he has seen them all.

TREND OF ORE REDUCTION.
MetaIIurgicaI Progress Will Widely
Distribute Sneltinq Industry.

One thing that has tended to build up
smelling centers and make long hauls of
ore profitable is the economy in smelling
certain mixtures, says Denver ores and
Metals. It is sometimes profitable to ship
one kind Of ore hundreds OF miles to
smelteT where ii can be mixed with an
other kind of ore brought perhaps hun
dreds of miles from different direction.
Thus the silicious gold ores of Nevada are
sent 10 Salt Lake City TO be mixed with
the copper ores Of Utah. California and
Colorado. Without the copper ores or
lead ores, the SillciOus ores cannot be
smclted Copper matte is sometimes
shipped a thousand miles or more into
Mexico to be used in smelling dry ores.
But although In smelling il may be nee
esSary TO form mixtures of ores from
widely separated sources. this is not true
o. the reduction processes that come into
competition with smelling. For example
a large part Of the ore now shipped out
OF Nevada. when not free milling, is
emenable to treatment by the cyanide
process. As water is developed and mills
are built. this ore will be handled AT the
mines and the only thing shipped will be
bullion.
Various methods of separation by which
the copper and other interfering COM
pounds may be segregated are extending
the scope of the cyanide process. Con-
centration and separation are reducing the
amount of waste material shipped and
making ii possible to distribute shipments
20 the best advantage. Lead concentrates
so to the lead smelters and zinc concen-
ton Is carried as far as possible with
economy at the point of production. and
the traffic is reduced to an economic basis
The separation Of complex ores into sim
pie products, and the use Of lixiviation
processes in the extra ction OF the precious
metals from their ores are both tending
toward the location at the mines Of part
or all of the operations of reduction. 1t
may be expected that further progress in
metallurgy will tend in the same direction:
that smelters drawing ores from distant
mines will become of less Importance:
that the shipment Of waste rock by rail
will diminish Under such conditions there
will be greater opportunities for custom
mills or cooperative mills handling the
ores OF a single camp or district. Their
number Is increasing.
Furthermore, metallurgical progress
along the line Of electro-thermic smelling.
the use Of liquid and gaseous fuels in
smelling and the consequent reduction in
the amount of coke required i'm smelling
operations may be expected to be favor
able to the establishment and successful
operation Of local smeiters. Especially in
copper mining. even now. smelling plant
operated in connection with single mine
or group of mines IS often practicable:
and with copper wire distribution of cheap
power and pipe line distribution OF cheap
fuel. there will probably be a decentrali-
zation in the smelling industry.
