SILVER PEAK STRIKE.
Valcalda Mine Is Scene Of Some Fine
Ore Disclosures.

Word comes from Silver Peak this
morning OF wonderful strike In the Sill
yer Peak Valcalda mine which is situ-
ated In the Red Mountain district and ad-
joins the famous Blair and Drinkwater
properties on the west. This property Is
considered to be In ideal formation, that
OF Alaskite and Dlorite, and the dip and
strike of the Valcalda veins are Identical
with those OF the PittsburgSllver Peak
company, which owns the Blair and
Drinkwater properties.
The development Of the Valcalda mine
is by series of tunnels on what is known
as the Frank vein. and in one tunnel OF
the same name, which has been driven
1l0 feet, all IN over six feet Of ore, the
average assay for the full length is over
$50 per ton No / crosscut south OF the
main tunnel Is in twenty feet and from
foot to hanging wall measures over ten
feet, with a general average assay OF
SCI No. 2 crosscut off the main tunnel
near the face and about nifty feet from

average assay goes $50 per ton,

Of this property can be obtained when 1t
is stated that there are several other tun-
nels on this same vein at intervals from
80 to 200 feet apart and the assays are

PROBLEM OF MINE TAXATION.
Montana Authorities Are Solving Very
VeXatious Questions.

The past thirty days have witnessed
the propounding OF a number Of knotty
taxation questions TO the authorities In
Montana It is the season when the COM
missioners take up the delicate task
of equalizing assessments, raising many
and lowering few. but creating some un-
rest and embarrassment by their actions
and calling into play the ability OF their
victims to make ingenious explanations
says the Mining Reporter
What constitutes a mine for purposes
of taxation? What comprises net earn
ings and what items may be legitimate
ly deducted from gross earnings? Is
mining stock held in Montana on prop
erty outside that Commonwealth tax
ablo in Montana? Would such taxation
be double taxation? These indicate the
delicate nature of the problems with
which the authorities In Butte have been
wrestling and which they have settled
after a fashion II not 10 their unani-
nous satisfaction.
The North Butte Mining company was
responsible for raising the first two
questions mentioned above. With gross
earnings Of over 600 and reported
net earnings of about H,76o,0o0, the
question was raised whether the sum OF
81 ,l64 900 paid out for new property could
be legtimately deducted from gross
earnings and charged TO expenses, The
property acquired was simply added to
the mine already owned and was there
fore only an improvement, and as such 10
be deducted from gross earnings, Tho
commissioners viewed the matter diff
ferently and 1t is now under advisement.
The taxation Of Amalgamated and
United Copper stocks has also been
bone of contention and the subject OF
disagreeng opinions by the county and
State authorities The opinion OF the
State Attorney-General is interesting,
even II 1t did not finally prevail. His con-
tention was that the capital stock OF
corporation and the shares into which
such stocks may be divided are two dis
tinct pieces OF property and may both
be taxed without causing double tax
alton
AS Amalgamated Copper company Is q
New Jersey corporation, this opinion
would permit the compnnys shares held
In Montana TO be taxed by that State, AS
finally decided, however. the shares VIII
not be taxed, and the owners may rest
easy for another year.

HARDSHIPS IN MINING.
California Gold Seekers Had Hard
Times in Reaching Coast.

The mad rush of gold seekers to Call
fornia following discovery OF gold IN lefo
did not reach its climax for seVeral
years. Much the larger portion went by
sea. the favored route being by the
Isthmus of Panama The passengers
landed at Chagres and took a boat up
the river to Cruces, then crossed over by
horse or mule TO Panama, where they
sailed on coasting steamers or other
craft. The crowds that hocked thither
by all sorts OF Atlantic vessels far out
ran the Pacific fleets capacity, and many
had TO wait long weary weeks before get
ting passage TO California. Three thou
sand people were at one time collected
at Panama, and so wild with impatience
were they that several small companies
were successful in their attempt TO make
the voyage TO San Francisco by the
natives log canoes.
But a far more terrible foe than ennui
had TO be faced; cholera and Panama
fever carried off large numbers or the
argonauts, as we'll as a quarter OF the
inhabitants OF Panama, Before the eX-
.cltement had begun two new steamers,
the California and Oregon. were assigned
to this route, to run monthly. The fare
was $780, and the competition for space
ran so high that double that price was al
times paid. The California reached San
Francisco on her first trip February 2S,
lS4g. Wnen Sne came UP INC "esL CpdS'
after rounding the Horn 10 reach Pan
ANA, the gold fever had just affected
Peru. and seyenty-hve Peruyians took
passage.
This preoccupation Of space so enraged
the thousand or more OF waiting Ameri-
cans that they induced the coQmandant
OF the United States forces In California,
who was waiting with them, to Issue
proclamation ejectipg the Peruvians as
Intending trespassers on United States
public lands not yet open for settlement.
AS they refused TO go, no one dared 10
use force The Peruvians In time reached
California At one time 300 intended
passengers al Panama drew lots for the
ffty-two steamer tickets on sale. The
hardships endured by the argonaut In
that memorable rush have not since been
eoualed, though the cold Of Alaska played
havoc with many who sought the gold
there.-Minng World.

WHERE ECONOMY IS
IN SMELLING ORE
Economy in Smelling Certain
Mixtures Tends to Build
Up Centers.

One thing that has tended to build
up smelling centers and make long hauls
OF ore profitable Is the economy In smelt-
Ing certain mixtures. 1t is sometimes
profitable to ship one kind OF ore hun
dreds OF miles TO a smelter where IL can
be mixed with another kind Of ore
brought perhaps hundreds Of miles from
different direction, says the Ores and
Metals. Thus the silicious gold ores Of
Nevada are sent to Salt Lake City TO be
mixed with the copper ores Of Utah, CAL
iforDia and Colorado. without the cop
per ores or lead ores, the slllclous ores
cannot be smelted. Copper matte Is
sometimes shipped q thousand miles or
more Into Mexico to be used in smelling
dry ores.
But although in smelling 1t may be
necessary to form mixtures of ores from
widely separated sources, this is not
true OF the reduction processes that come
into competition with smelling. For ex-
ample, 4 large part OF the ore now
shipped out of Nevada, when not free
milling, Is ameuable 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
compounds may be segregated are eX-
Concentration and separation are reduc-
ing the amount of waste material shipped
and making IL possible to distribute ship
ments TO the best advantage, Lead con-
centrates go to the lead smelters and zinc
concentrates to the zinc smelrcrs The
reduction Is carried as far as possible
with economy at the point of production,
and the traffic is reduced 10 an economic
basis
simple products, and the use Of lXiyiation
processes in the extraction OF the prec-
ious metals from their ores are both
tending toward the location at the mines
OF part or all Of the operations OF re-
duction. 1t may be expected that fur
ther progress in metallurgy Will tend In
the same direction that smelters draw
ing 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 OPP
portunities for custom mills or cooper
ative mills handling the ores of single
camp or district. Their number is in
creasing.
Furthermore, metallurgical progress
along the line of elecJro-th -thermic smelt
Ing, the use of liquid and gaseous fuels
in smelling and the consequent reduc-
tion In the amount of coke required In
smelling operations may be expected to
be favorable to the establishment and
successful operation OF local smelters.
Especially In copper mining, even now.
a 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 VIII
probably be a decentralization In the
smelling industry

SEVEN TRoUGHs ORE.
Rich Resources Are Being Opened Up
in New Camp.

The actual mining and sacking OF ore
has begun at the rich Seven Troughs
strike, says the Lovelocks Tribune. The
seam OF extremely rich ore Is widening
with every foot gained in depth, while
surrounding this 100000 streak. Is sew
eral inches OF ore that will go from $1,000
10 $4,000. When the first shipment from
this strike reaches the smelters there
will be- we believe, more startling news
of wealth than has ever before come
from any ore produced In Nevada, Tono-
pah, Goldheld, Manhattan, Round Noun
tain and all southern camps Will be rele-
gated TO the background and fame of
Seven Troughs Will fill the mining world.
With the increasing width and magni
tude OF this seam OF golden wealth rises
the enthusiasm OF those holding ground
In the new camp. On a string of claims
for ten miles in length, from near Poker
Brown Springs TO Stone House. the rich
ore is being found. and every week adds
to its extent and magnitude. The first
OF six cars OF lumber for buildings and
mining timbers has arrived here and
teams are now busy hauling it to camp.
Water is being found In good quantity
and OF good quality. The survey of the
townslte has been completed and many
lots are already spoken for
The owners and management of tho
Humboldt Queen mine are highly delight
ed with the returns from test run
made on 1900 pounds OF ore from that
mine sent TO the new process gas smell
ter In Reno last week. AS a result OF the
run and showing the richness OF the ore,
they brought back with them seven bars
OF bullion about eight inches long, two
inches wide and an inch and half thick.

EARTHQUAKE SENSATIONS,

Dr. c. Nicholas gives the following
vivid description Of the sensations
caused by an earthquake, Writing in
the Review Of Reviews he says; The
coming of an earthquake is 20
sudden. so wildly terrible. that The
stoiuest hearts must quail. Even Wild
animals shrink with fear, and one is
always filled with dread bordering on
terror. 1t is all so sudden. A sense OF
some unknown fear pervades all ma
ture as il the spirit Of the world had
caught It's breath and held all life an
instant in suspense. while sounds seem
to beset ones nerves rather than to
assault the ear. Then comes "a Keeling.
slckenlng. staggering motion, and fear,
and human crylngs at, and then
qulvering silence for the space Of
breath, followed perhaps by crushing
destruction or Il may be. by a sound
like great signing. and the earth set
ties back, that the pulsations OF ma
ture may begin again In harmony,
Then excited people find their voices,
bewlldering faces CLEAN with intelli-
gence and everyone is talking. COM
pairing experiences, wondering what it
was where It had come from. and how
II had gone away"
