SEVEN TR0UGHS-ECLIPSE
Is OPENING UP WELL

The tunnel on the Syndicate claim of
the Seven TrOughs Eclipse company is in
forty-five feet on three-foot ledge
showing excellent values. The ledge has
widened from a ten-lnch stringer of sos
ere to the above width, containing values
in proportion. Some picked samples from
this tunnel ranged as high as 1000. To
the east the Eclipse claim shows I'D a
strong lead which has been exposed to a
depth of twelve feet, containing SIS2 gold
values. This ledge has been traced along
its strike for over one hundred feet, and
for the entire distance would make ship
ping ore, says the Mamma Herald.
That confidence in the future of Seven
TrOughs is increasing steadily is evil
denced by the fact that four new leases
have been let on one property during the
past week. while applications for as
many more have been received. Notwith-
standing the fact that hot weather is due
arrivals, while the outgoing travel is very
light
A glimpse into Seven Troughs canyon
from any of the prominent ridges or peaks
is an interesting spectacle these DAYS, not
TO the man of the mining world only but
10 any person who revels in the sight Of
hustiing activity and sturdy progress. At
intervals at every few hundred feet are
seen dumps of various sizes and fOrma-
lions. but all indicating the firm belief
of mine owners and leaSerS that the gold
in the developed properties is to be found
elsewhere. On both sides of the now
famous "TFoughs'' a bevy Of IeaserS are
diligently engaged either in extracting pay
dirt or developing their ground with
view of finding a pay streak.

DEVELOPING TUNGSTEN
AT ROUND MOUNTAIN

The wonderful tungsten discovery III the
ROund Mountain district which has Great
ed such stir in mining and ScICnullC
circles since a test mil run was made
two weeks ago at Denver. is not merely a
surface showing, says the Round Noun
tain Nugget, So much has been proven
by recent developments at depth in the
property Of the Round Mountain Monster
Mining company. General Manager l. =.
POpper has had a force of men at work
the past two weeks drifting on a number
OF the stringers and is now thoroughly
convinced that he has one of the great
est if indeed not the one greatest, tunG-
stem propositions in the world.
At a distance of 100 feet in the tunnel
a total Of forty-eight stringers have been
encountered. \ drift has been run thirty
five feet on some of these stringers and
several pockets of high-Grade tungsten
ore have been taken out. The quartz
stringers present an appearance OF ser
les of white ribbons stretched along the
sides of the drift. Here and there in the
quartz appear black spots showing the
tungsten in its native pureneSs. There
arc seven of these quartz Str1ngerS show
ing in the wall of the drift The string
ers are from four to seven inches IN
width.
The character of the ore encountered
at depth is such as to convince General
Manager Pepper of the peTmanency of
the deposits and their increasing value
as depth is attained. Milling machinery
will be installed at once, and will consist
chiefly of an electric magnetic separator
and twenty-five horsepower gasoline en-
CINE This will be a dry process of hand
ling the ore, which has been settled upon
as the hest and most economical. Mr.,
Pepper states that two machine drills
will also be put in at once and the work
of Stopping ore commenced Immediately.

NET PROCEEDS TAX
ON TINTIC MINES

The net proceeds of the mines which
have been assessed for taxation by Juab
county for the past year will exceed one
and half million dollars according to
figures furnished the Eureka Reporter by
George Mcclure, chairman of the board
Of the county commissioners. This is
big increase over the previous year. the
net proceeds taxed in 1906 having amount
ed to a trifle less than one million dollars.
The figures show that the mines of Juab
county. which means the Tintic district,
are now in very prosperous condition.
1t is very difficult matter to get at
the exact figures showing the net pro-
ceedS from some of the mines and in
several instances the mining companies
submitted statements which were not
satisfactory. In such cases they were
notified to appear before the board and
show cause why the amount upon which
they are to pay taxes should not be rais-
ed. In this manner the board has came
nearer getting at the true figures than
at any time since the law taxing net pro-
ceeds of mines became effective.
We publish below a list of some of
the largest mines in the county and the
amount upon which they Will be taxed
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1907-07-01

%The amount opposite the Centennial
Eureka will undoubtedly he raised as the
board is not satisfied with the showing
made. In the statement submitted the
company deduCtS for treatment charges
on ore a sum which is considerable in
excess of that charged on custom ore.
Commissioners McCune and HaSSeI are
now in Salt Lake for the purpose of in
yestigating this matter.
We hope to be able to publish figures
showing the assessed valuation of all
property in the county in our next issue.

CROWN POINT TO SINK
CLOSE TO COLORADO

Supt. John Roundy says that the shaft
for the Crown Point has been located and
that the sinking will start within a day
or two says the Eureka Reporter.
This shaft will be east of the Colorado.
and until machinery can be secured, air
for the machine drills. with which work
is TO be carried on, will come from the
Colorado.
The Crown Point has ample money in
the treasury with which to carry on de-
velOpment work and mining men fam
liar with this section consider it one of
the most promising undeVelOped proper
ties in the state. The surface showngs
beat anything in Tintic, and while the
shareholders do not anticipate striking
the Colorado vein where the development
work is to be done at this time as has
been stated in the daily press, they do
figure on opening up another body of ore
which will be equally as good, both i'll
size and richness.
The development OF the Crown Point
will be watched with keen interest by
not only the people who are interested in
this company, but those who have hold
ings in nearby properties.

BULLION-BECk
MAY Be SOLD
Believed at Camp That United
States Company Intends
to Buy the Mine.
ORE BODIES ARE SAMPLED
MUCH ORE OF MILLING GRADE IN
PROPERTY.

There is every reason to believe that
the deal now pending between the Cen
tennial Eureka and the Bullion Beck will
result in the latter being purchased out
right by the company which owns the
porter.
Some time ago when the Centennial
Eureka put men to work sampling and
measuring up the ore at the Bullion Beck
II was given out that the company was
preparing to purchase low grade ore from
TINS mine and while this may be true,
everything points to a complete transfer
OF the property of the Beck company.
This would also be in line with the policy
OF the United States Mining company
which is anxious to acquire more ground
adjoining the Centennial Eureka mine at
this place.
There is an immense amount of low
grade ore In the Beck mine and. the prop
erty is by no means stripped of the higher
grade ore notwithstanding the fact that
II mas been producer for over thirty
years. Most of this low grade ore could
be shipped at a nice profit by the United
States company owing to the fact that
the company has its own smelter
Under the detection of the Centennial
Eureka people. some of the low grade ore
from the Beck mine is being put through
the May Day dry concentrating plant. the
object no doubt being to see if the Beck
ore c9n successfully handled by the dry
process 1t is only natural to suppose
that should the Centennial Eureka take
over the Bullion Beck mine, after finding
that the low grade ores of that property
can be successfully handled by the dry
process, the Beck mill will be remOdeled
and the necessary machinery installed TO
convert it into dry concentration on the
same plan as the mill which the Cactus
Ore company now has in operation at the
My Day.
At this time there is no way of learn
ing anything of a definite nature regard
ing the deal. The leasers at the Beck
mine anticipating a change, are taking
out their ore as rapidly as possible but
are not doing the usual amount of pros
pectinG because they do not know wheth-
or it would be them or someone else
that would profit by the opening up of
new ore bodies

HOW SHOSHONE MILL
WILL BE EQUIPPED

The big Shoshone mill, for the con-
struction of which Charles NJ. SchWao
advanced $4,000 of his own money, Is
assuming definite outline of great mas ,Ssi
nitude, says the Bullfrog Miner. the
Traylor Engineering company of New
York. one of the oldest and best repute0
firms of its kind in the land, is dong the
work under contract, and will assure us
success before it is turned over to the
mining company. Exhaustive tests were
made for months prior to the letting OF
the contract and the ore was found 10
respond readily to the treatment deter
mined on.
The mill as it stands embraces
course of treatment of amalgahlauon'
concentration, cyanidation. IL is not only
built on a large scale, but 1t is complete
in every detail fitted with all of the ap-
pliances brought forth by modern science
and dependable to catch all OF the values:
To follow the ore from the NOUN s1d Vi
the shaft I'D to and over the lW-toot
tram into the mill and through the various
ms and outs of the inside WORKS Is an
interesting study.
First the ore drops into the pig DIN from
the outside passes by gravity through d
1920 crusher of the Gates type, ana is
taken in by No l elevator, by Whlch
means it is raised fifty-seven feet ana
passes through a No. VEIN saIhPle:I,
where a sample is cut and then again
recut by another like appliance, ana
finally is conveyed TO the sampllng 1IooT'
The bulk of the ore goes down into No;
ore bin, where II Is aSSSLlOieu anu ASN
through the roUghing rolls.
From this it goes by another big eleNa-
tor and comes in to a 10 m. m trammel-
Here we get our first classification. Inc
oversize from this trammel returns TO the
roughing rolls while the undersize goes
into a double screen trammel. From TINS
last operation we get our first reduced
product which is conveyed direct to the
amalgamation tables The oversize re
turns again to the rolls floor for further
reduction. This process continues until
the ore is reduced by three grades OF rolls
through a couple of systems of screens 70
a 30-mesh and then it finds its way 10
the amalgamation tables.
In advance it is impossible to state how
often a cleanup Will have to be made on
these tables. They are 412xS and it is
thought once day will be about the
proper regulation for cleaning up
The tailings from the plates go direct
to the Whitley tables and on to the true
vanies. Concentrates are gathered on TINS
floor. There are seven tables of the
first kind and ten six-foot Frue vanies-
From the concentration the Jail1ngS are
de-hydrated and passed into the cyanide
tanks. These tanks. five in number, are
30 feet in diameter and IS feet deep.
During the process of cyanidation the so
luton is agitated by a fOur-bladed paddle
fixed to a vertical shaft in the center OF
the tanks.
The solution of potassium Cyanlde,
or gold solution, receives its final treat
ment through chain of ten siX-cOmpart-
ment zinc boxes precipitated with zinc
shavings.

SIOUX CON. SHAFT
GOING DOWN RAPIDLY

A. y. Holloway of the Sioux Consoli-
dated says that the new shaft on the
Phoebe $. claim is now down over forty
feet. The machinery which the company
has purchased is now upon the ground,
and the work of putting it in place has
been started.
The pipe line which is to convey the
water from the Cough Springs to the
Sioux Consolidated and the Iron King
properties is now being laid. AS stated
in a recent issue of the Reporter, the
Cough Springs are owned by the Sioux
Consolidated, and the expense of putting
in the pipe line is being paid by the Iron
King people for the privilege of using a
portion of the water.
Just as soon as the new hoisting plant
can be installed at the Sioux. the sinking
of the shaft will be pushed along rapidly.
The management hopes to tap the south
extension of the Colorado vein at a depth

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES.

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES.
Officer Robert l. Wearing, one of
the best officers on the Metropolitan
Police Force, is to be tried today
before the Police Trial Board for be-
ing off his beat a longer time than the
rules allow. This is not the real
charge. Behind this is the indirect
charge of blackmaiI In that a col
ored child complained to Officer
Wearing of an indecent assault that
had been committed, or attempted up
on her. The officer reported the case
to his superior, officer Captain Doyle,
who ordered the mans arrest. The
case was heard in the District At
tornev's Office, and thrown out on the
ground of insufficient evidence. Not
satisfied with this, a petition was sent
to the Chief of Police, who ordered
an investigation, which resulted in
a transfer of Officer Wearing from
No. 8 Precinct to No 10. Now, sup
pose the charge had been made by a
white child against a colored man,
what would the result be? As mat
ter of fact Officer Wearing is one
of the most intelligent officers on the
force. He is quiet and unassuming
and a man Of good judgment, and ne
IS not a man to make a false charge
against anyone. It all depends on
when and where the shoe pinches..

Tuskegee Institute energies with

financial management by an expert
employed by the State government,

governor the expert says that the
Tuskegee system Of accounts is the
best he has ever known, and he failed
to find the slightest sign Of extrava-
gance, except in the $1,000 spent last
year IN entertaining President Roose-
welt. But this IS rightly excused on
the ground that a President Of the
