Teachers Institute.

The most interesting and profitable
institute ever held in Owyhee county,
was in session in Silver City last week.
The success was largely due to the large
number in attendance, occassioned by
the new law that allows teachers the
week as time taught. In most places
teachers have been allowed their time,
and it is especially appreciated here
where transportation means so much.

POTosI.

''The Potosi mine. situated right with
in the limits OF Silver City, is another
very tiaCtering new enterprise that has
been undergoing development for some
time and is approaching stage where
milling plant will be warranted. In
fact, the company is now putting in the
foundation for mill and will put up
the building this fall but will probably
not install the machinery until next
year. In this conservatism they are
warranted by the development in the
mine, as an important change in the
character of the ore may reasonably be
anticipated, as the shaft is carried
deeper.
"The Potosi was operated quite sue
cessfully number of years ago and
made an important production, includ-
ing one mill run of thirty tons which
yielded gold and silver values at the
rate OF 500 per ton. The property car
ries three distinct assures that are
nearly vertical and strike north and
south, carrying the characteristic rich
gold-silver ores of the district. 1t is de-
yeloped on the Potosi vein by steer
incline shaft 200 feet deep and wa.
largely worked out bv the old operator,
above the lOO.foot level. The 2OO-fooi
level has shown very marked improve
ment in the length of ore shoots ex

Among the most promising new en-
terprises Is the tanner Mining company
who are working force of 40 men and
erecting Bottom mill to treat their
large ore reserves recently developed.
This plant is designed to closely follow
the Trade Dollar process aud will in
clude Nissen stamps, concentrators,
pans and settlers.
This property of this company is sit
uated three thousand feet west Of the
Trade Dollar vein on Long gulch, and
about mile above Silver City. 1t is a
local corporation that has been success
fully financed by Mr.. Peter Steele and
others, who have been developing it
steadily for the past three years and
have accomplished an immense amount
of underground work. Their property
consists OF large group OF claims that
cover true vein standing nearly YER
teal, and coursing north over four
Thousand feet of development, iuclud-
ing two thousand feet of crosscut tun-
nels, the lowest one of which taps the
vein at vertical depth of 400 feet.
There are over two thousand feet of
drifts on the vein, the longest one being
O0-feet and proving it to have an aver
age width Of about five feet, and | was
informed by the management that from
hundreds of samples taken during the
progress OF the work, they find average
values of five to Thirty dollars per ton
in gold and silver, with occasional
streaks that give results that run into
four ia cy figures. The walls of the
tissure are ciean-cut and we'll defined
and there seems every prospect that it
will prove continuous in depth and
length. The ore carries some of the
characteristics of it's famous neighbor,
including beautiful specimens of valen-
ciantite, rare form of chizel pointed
crystals of feldspar, for which the Trade
Dollar vein is noted, and has been
quoted by the United States geologists
for comparison with the Tonopah de-
posits and other important producers

posed, as compared 10 the l00-foot level
and probably shows richer aud longer
distribution Of rich ore minerals than
does the present best level in the Trade
Dollar mine, in proportion to its length
Not only this, but this development in
the present lowest level of the Potosi is
a strong indication of further important
ore resources at depth below the bot
tom Of the 1,700-foot level of the Trade
Dollar mine, which is practically at the
same elevation as the No level OF the
Potosi mine, and there is hardly any
question that the veins are of the same
age aud period of naturalization.
"The south drift on the Potosi vein
from the second level is 465 feet long
and carries a total of 3l5 feet of ore
shoots that vary from six inches to
three feet in thickness, and 50-ton
practical milling test OF this ore recent
Iy treated in the Addie mill, yielded
S32 80 in gold and silver, and the tail
ings ran $3.50 per ton.
"This mine has acquired the unevi-
able reputation of containing very base
ore, but from the results, it would ap-
pear that this reputation is unwarrant-
ed, as it is confidently believed that the
results obtained, which are of them
selves very good, can be materially i'm
proved upon by little further expert
menting on the ground.
s'The No. 2 north drift from the shaft
is in BIT feet, and carries loo feet of ore
on the Potosi vein and go feet on the
Knickerbocker vein. This drift is run
ming in the direction of the Star mine,
which adjoins the Potosi group on the
north, and made an immense produc-
tion Of ore in the early days right near
the end line OF the Potosi ground. The
ore of this mine is interesting from the
fact that it carries strong mineraliza-
ton of carbonate and oxide of copper
to its present depth of 2OO feet below
the bottom of Jordan creek, in which
the vein apexes, 1900 feet lower than
the apex of the Trade Dollar vein, on
Florida mountain. The copper con
tents OF the ore would naturally be ex-
pected to be in sulphide form below
the creek level, as are the copper con
tents of the Trade Dollar vein at
much higher horizon. 1t would indi-
cate in this instance very open fissure
through which oxiding surface water
has continued to circulate. 1t is not
unlikely, however, that this condition
will change before the next level is
reached, and the copper oxides and car
Donates will be in the form Of chalco-
pyrite associated with argentite, as is
found in the product of the Trade Dol
lar mine. The property is equipped
with Hendry-Bolthoff 80 horsepower
electric hoist, with a 10-horsepower
overlooking reserve. run by Westing-
house motor supplied with current
from the Swan Falls plant.
"The company have started to sink
their main working shaft 200 feet deeper
and will probably complete this plan of
development. including several hundred
feet of drifts, before putting machinery
in their new milf building, which is now
being constructed. The Potosi is very
fiattering showing in such surroundings
and it is not unlikely it will become
one of the important producers of the
district at no distant day
