Cripple Creek Mills.

In the October milling at Cripple
Creek the extreme value was $50 ore
at the Vindicator plant. Some 600
tons of this material was used. Then
the grade scaled down to 5000 tons of
IS ores at the smaller plants-Blue
Flag, W. p. IA. and others-to 3,l0O
tons of sc ore at the Isabella mill.
1850 tons of So ore at the Phoenix,
"a 800 tons of dump material-worth
$3.50 per ton-at the Golden Cycle.
and 2,SS3 tons of 81 ore at the Iron
clad plant This latter mill is proving
a decided success. From a twelve-day
run on 400 tons of ore Manager Lien
cleaned up a gold retort worth $500,
the average grade of the material run
through being Sl.7S to the ton. This
is the lowest grade of material ever
handled in Colorado. Yet the com
pany reports reasonable profit per
ton. which will be enlarged with the
capacity of the plant, while cost of
management, etc, will show no in
crease. The material handled at this
plant is oxidiZed. which precludes the
necessity of any class OF roasting. The
Phoenix plant-foimerly known as
the Homestake-has capacity Of LOO
tons daily. The company handled
4,650 tons during the month Of Octo-
ber. extracting $4,000 in gold. The
mill was recently overhauled, as the
initial plant was faulty in many of its
features. being partly designed to sup
port n Chicago stock promotion of
the "get-rich-quick" order. The pres
ent company is engaged in milling
rather tkan booming and is realizing
fair profit on 50 ore.

NEWS FROM THE MINES AND MILLS
Big Dividends Continue.

Save In the copper department alone
the financial furry has thus far had as
little effect upon mining and metallur-
gical dividends as upon those paid by
the established railroads, where traf-
fic continues to outstrip the present
equipment. In other words, mining
continues sound, from the standpoint
of generous dividends, upon money act
ually invested and intelligently con-
trolled. with the element of reasonable
diligence in the matter of handling For
the ten months of 1907, ending with
October, as compiled by the Mining
World of Chicago, ia mines and metal
lurgical works-constituting the known
or public list as contrasted with the
close corporations-have paid out in
dividends $75,S14,9O4 upon a total cap
italization of $6O4,251.265. Since the
date of organization the dividends paid
foot up the remarkable sum of $751;
596, 6,546, or over eighty per cent of their
issued capital.
When 1t Is remembered that the Wall
street slump commenced in March last,
and has been strenuous since that date,
with little or no variation save from
bad to worse, mining and metallurgy
can assume credit for exceptional
SteaulneSS, ana as mucn absence OF
gambling as the average line of enter
prise, not excepting the banks and in
surance companies. is able to present.
In the regular dividend list are in
cluded sixty-seven mines which pro-
duce gold, silver and lead. For the ten
months ending with October these
mines have paid $14,590,264 in divi-
dends upon total capitalization of
S119,705,715. Since date of organiza-
ton the dividends paid foot up $113.-

zinc companies have divided this year

Testing Dry Placer Machine.

An item of some Importance to the
extensive dry placer grounds in Idaho,
Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado,
New Mexico, Arizona and Mexico is
the appearance OF the Curtis dry
placer machine, says the Denver
News. 1t Is a local invention, dating
back to last June, and including In
its makeup some fifteen different pat
ents. The machlue Is made at the
Dillon Iron Works on Blake street. and
has been tested on fair scale in the
Manhattan district of Nevada, where
the absence Of water Is noted. The
4,500-pound machine, ready for work
in the field, will handle seven and one
half tons Of gravel per hour. The cost
in the Nevada tests, with labor at $40
per day, was thiltyeight cents per
ton, which indicates one-half that sum
in more favored camps. The saving
of gold is stated at ninety-five per
cent. 1t uses hot air for disposing OF
the worthless material and gathers
the gold in a series of rifles, which
would probably become clogged II the
moisture in the gravel or sand ex-
ceeded four per cent. Up to that
amount the hot air in the rifles would
probably overcome the moisture. A
machine for prospecting placers
weighs 400 pounds and is operated by
a two-horse power gasoline engine.
The machine will be tested next week
in the San Luis valley, this state, and
in the extensive placer fields in north
ern New Mexico. where the Edison
electrical experiment. at cost of some
$250,000, failed to extract gold values
from the black sands. The Curtis ma
chine might be used for concentrating
that material and thus fitting it for a
smelter process. where gold might be
saved "as yet by fire" The steady
run of visitors at the Dillon Iron
Works bespeaks fair and extended
trial for this newest candidate in the
much-contested dry placer field. wher G
economic success means a large addi-
tion to the yearly output of gold a
