NEW PROCESS FOR REDUCING ORE
Is Claimed New Invention Can Handle
Ore for 81 Per Ton

A new process for reducing ores will
shortly be thoroughly tested at Gold.
Held. says the Carson Appeal.
Mining men who have examined the
new process of diIntregratiug ore
brought to Carson by Benjamin Foss of
chicago are very much in favor OF it.
Ii roasts the ore in cylinder with q
hydro-carbon burner and then drops it
into a tank containing a solution which
IN less than five minutes 50 thoroughly
disintfegrates 1t that it can be broken up
with the fingers. 1t is then crushed be.
tween steel rollers sufficiently fine to 20
through hundred mesh.
A plant to handle 1000 tons a day can
be built for $4,000 whereas it would
cost s400. 900 il built on the old fashioned
plan.
Millions OF tons of ore running be-
tween $50 and $40 lies on the dumps
worthless because of the high transpor-
tation and reduction charges. This ore
could all be handled for 81 a ton by the
new process and / ave a large margin
of profit.
1t viii put life into camps that are
now in the dumps, and with it you can
multiply the wealth of Nevada by four.

POOR MAP OF DEATH VALLEY
That Is a Menace Rather Than Guide
to Travellers

Greenwater. Cal, July 13.-A recent
ly issued map of Iuyo County. compiled
by the California State Mining Bureau.
is being criticised as inaccurate by men
who are familiar with the geography Of
Iuyo County. Many go so far as to char
acterize the map as a death-trap, which
will lead astray any one who follows its
delineations. The map shows the Pana-
mint range extending across the country
from Tucki mountain to lin mountain.
whereas there is 25 miles q desert at
that point. Canyons containing water
are shown to be on the map as opening
into the Panamint valley, when in fact
they lead into Death Valley. A mine
near Ballarat is shown as being go miles
away from the proper location.
In the hands of stranger, the map
would, if followed, in search of water,
lead the traveller away from the springs
instead of directing him to them, and
would probably result in his death from
thirst. The State Mineralogist has been
asked to call in and destroy these maps.
as a menace rather than a guide to the
traveller.

Extracts From the Report

troll Of the Southern Pacific by tie
Union Pacific has been to unity and
amalRamate the management of these
two roads and steamship lines and tc
eliminate competition between them in
transcontinental business and business
to and from Oriental ports.
The recommendations of the Com.
mission say that the function Of a rail.
road corporation should be confined to
furnishing transportation: that rail.
ways should not be permitted to invt st

and steamship companies. except con-
meeting lines, for the purpose of form.
ing through routes Of transportation
including branches and feeders; surplus
funds should be used for the better.
ment Of its lines and in extensions.
Concluding. the report says:
"The acquisition Of any considerable
amount of stock with representation on
boards Of competing lines has the ef.
feet of diminishing competition. The
time has come when some reasonable
regulation should be imposed upon
the issuance OF securities by railroads
engaged in interstate commerce. In
the opinion of the Commission the reg.
ulation will tend TO make securities
safer aud more secure for investments,
therefore benefiting not oaly the rail
roads but the public.

cealment This is most extraordinary
statement for the writer OF the report
