debt 10 our business men, several hun
dred dollars. the men filed a lien on the
mine, and the merchants attached the
ore After time, Mr. Nusbaum of
Cleveland, Ohio, who had been at the
head of the company, came here and
paid off the debts and released the liens
and attachments aud shipped the ore to
a snelter. We have not been informed
what the ore, (there was about four tons
OF it) yielded Mr.. Nusbaum, more than
that it is rumored here that it brought
about $780, The mine has never been
worked since. The ore was shipped out
in the fall of 1905, if we remember
rightly. The writer visited the mine
while the ore was being taken out and
saw pieces of it quite rich with ruby
silver, which left him under the impress
sion that the vein was rich but the ore
was sulphide and could not be reduced
here, aud had TO be worked by smelter
The California is continuation of the
we'll known old Pauper mine, which it
adjoins, aud consists of two full claims,
lying some 300 feet east of the Never
sweat and Republic mines. II the right
parties were to take hold of the property
and work it intelligentIy the general
opinion here is that it could be done at
big profit.

Village Blacksmith.

Nuggets mining expert paid visit
to the Village Blacksmith company's
property this week and found every
thing progressing favorably. Men we're
pushing the tunnel north on the vein
for which the company is named, aud
other men were driving drift south
from near the Whiskey claim end of the
company's property. The latter drift
is now in 270 feet, from which point
preparations are being made to raise to
the surface, and shaft will be sunk
from here for acquiring greater depth,
as soon as an electric hoist can be pro-
cured 1t is at point midway between
the two veins, which can be reached by
short crosscuts from the shaft, cutting
the two veins under points where in
early days rice ore was extracted from
near the surface The drift running on
the Blacksmith is following a very rich
streak of ore, is now in 400 feet and is
approaching shoot of ore on the old
Mary Blain, where a small fortune was
taken from near the surface many years
since. Our expert knocked down
chunks of ore in this tunnel, which
looked very rich to him. He WAS shown
an assay report made by Mr.. Pack, of a
chunk taken from this same streak
which went more than $4,000 per ton.
When the shoot is reached by this tun-
mel, the public may look for surprising
news.

THE BANNER.

N. ID. Spencer, Pacific Coast agent of
the General Elecr ric company, at Port
land, spent Wednesday and Thursday
here comforting with the Banner mine
people regarding the electric equipment
to be placed IN their proposed mill, fin
ally resulting in their ordering from
him very complete outfit, in which
are to be two 30 kilowat transformers,
two 90 horsepower motors OF the latest
type with all the appliances and fixtures
to make very complete plant for sup
plying power to run the mill. Later it
is expected that another motor and a
compressor will be ordered for the mine
The type of motors are similar to those
which have been ordered for the De-
Lamar mill, and it is promised that the
two equipments will be shipped from
the Genera; Electric company's works,
Schenectady, N. Y, at the same time,
practically within less than three
months The plans for the new mill
are expected here early next week, when
grading will be begun for the founda-
ton. A survey has been made from the
tunnel to the millsite for a tramway,
which will be approximately HOO feet
long with a slide from its end to ore
bins TO be placed above the mill.
Floors have been laid in the new
boarding house and it is now awaiting
material to complete the roof, when the
house will soon be ready for occupancy.
In tie mine the work of drifting both
north and south on the tunnel level
continues, and the npraise shaft is now
so nearly to the upper Banner drift
level that it is thought it will be com
plrted within ten days. The tunnel
level drift north continues to show more
than 10 feet of a good grade of ore, Civ
ing long shoot of good ore ready for
stoping'as soon as the manager is ready
to begin.

POTOSI.
a big profit


AS stated last week, the Addie mill
was started to make test run on Po-
tosi ore. 1t is still running smoothly,
but not altogether satisfactorily The
battery is crushing much more ore than
the small pans can take care of, and the
pans only catch minor percentage of
the values. Ores that assav $50 from
battery samples 90 Sl8 after leaving the
pans. Then the ore was run over van
ners before turned into the pans and
quite an important saving made on
them. Then cotters we're placed below
the pans and a greater saving made.
An experiment made yesterday with
one of the vanners covered with eau
vass showed saving of 800 per ton
more than the bare rubber one. But
the cotters carefully attended seem to
catch all the remaining values. After
fifty tons have been worked cleanup
will be made and larger cotter surface
Will be installed and another test run
will be made. But the theory which
now suggests itself, is that when mill
be built, the vanners will be placed
after the pans and greater cotter sur
face be employed.
That the ore is all of high grade
has been demonstrated by the average
battery sample assays. The ore so far
worked has contained good deal OF
waste, and still the average battery
samples assay has been more than $50.
The mine, as soon as chutes are plac-
ed in the Slopes, is abundantly capable
of supplying greater quantity of this
grade OF ore than mill of the capacity
of the Addie can work. The thing now
to be determined is the character of the
mill which will save the values and
work the ore most economically. This
is why the present test run is being
made.

Dating from July l, 1907, the United
States mint will pay for he full weight
of the silver contained in the bullion
deposited, based on the assayer's report.
Thus has been discontinued the deduc-
ton of 1-99 of the standard weight of
gold from silver contained in the de-
posits at the mints and assay offices of
tile United States, which had been the
custom ever since the government un-
dertook to refine its purchases of the
previous metals. The change of custom
is due to the success of the government
in refining the metals electrolytically,
by which process it is now possible to
produce purer gold and silver at lower
cost than could be done by the old nitric
acid or sulphuric acid methods.
