THE KEYSTONE.
indications That 1t May Develop Into a
Good Property.

The Keystone group, on which John
Nassau and P w. Quinlin recently
completed a job of development work,
is, according to the opinion of it's own
ers. one of the strongest leads in the
Elk district. The group consists of
three claims, and the property is in
pretty good company. adjoining Gold
Dove and Blue Ribbon, and its two
ledges being continuation of the lodges
in the Laurel Hill.

property last Sunday, seven miles east
Of camp. Mr. Massam stated the north
ledge is to 6 feet wide, and is exposed
by open cuts for distance of 300 feet.
The south ledge has been given the
greater attention in development, anc
the work has been done in two places,
consisting of shaft 25 feet, and cut
in the hillside. The cut shows the ledge
to be 3 1-2 feet, and, we were told

A MILL FOR
TWIN BUTTE
Ten Stamps and Cyanide Will
Be Placed on the Prop
erty This Summer.

The plans for 10-stamp mill and cya-
nide plant in connection, which have
been under consideration for some time
by the members of the Twin Butte
Mining company, are now fully ma
tured, and by the. latter part of this
month material will be arriving on the
company's ground. in Orogrande dis
trict. 1t is said some of the contracts
are now closed, among them that for
lumber to be used for the buildings.
Twin Butte property is said to be one
of the best developed properties in this
section of Idaho, and last summer it
was given out that mill was to be in
stalled, and work was to have been
started last fall At the time when it
was expected that work on the mill
would be started, the Natwick & Bull
lock saw mill was moved to Twin Butte
and operations in the timber was started
on big scale. A long flume was con.
structed, but at it's completion surface
improvements stopped.
1t is reported the new mill will be ir
operation early in the spring.

Timber is Good for Many Things
on a Mining Claim.
SHOULD SAVE THE TREES
They Conserve Moisture and Water
for the Mill

The usual rule for making a
camp is: First cut down
all the trees; that's what the
trees are for" 1t may seem
strange that there should be such
a rule, and yet, while it is an un-
written one, there is no other SO
universally followed, says Matt
w. Anderson in Chicago Mining
World.
One visits Goldenville, Nova
Scotia; Virginia City or Butte,
Montana, and exclaims: What
desolate looking place. How
caff1e,. anyone to be attracted
here?" And yet, before the
natural attractiveness of the
places had been destroyed by the
ruthless hands of man, these
localities were beautiful. And
they should be so now.
/ knew a man who cut. down
the trees which protected his
dwelling, saving perhaps Is cents
cord over what the same amount
of wood would have cost him if
cut a few miles away. For a
temporary saving of a few dol
lars, he paid every year for 20
years following twice the amount
saved for additional fuel to warm
his house.
| knew a mine superintendent
who was very much surprised
when the officers of his company
stopped his cutting timber on
company ground. The mine was
nearly dug out, of course, fuel
was not plentiful and there was
fine timber on the claims. From
his point of view, it should be cut
and used. 1t would be Of no
value after the mine closed down.
He would have saved his COM
pany few hundred dollars over
the cost of securing cordwood
elsewhere and in making that
saving he would have put the
company to an expense Of thous-
! ands of dollars a year thereafter
during the life Of the mine, for
this timber was the one thing
that conserved the water supply.
| The mill was mile below and
had barely water enough for its
daily needs. In fact, frequently
in some months of the year some
Of the stamps would have to be
hung up because of scarcity of
water. If the timber had been
cut down, the mill would have
had to be moved farther down
the gulch, thus entailing not only
cost of moving, but additional
cost for transporting the ore.
| know that a man who woulC
suggest that there be a planting
J of young trees in mining sections
to provide necessary timber fol

laughed at as a silly crank. Blu
it would be a blessing to the

Preservation Around a Mine Offers
Great Chance to Economic.
OIL vARNIsH IS USED
Iron Must Be Scrupulously Clean Before
the Liquid is Applied.

There are many causes of the
rusting of iron. 1t may, be pro-
duced by atmospheric action
alone, but in a majority of cases
galvanism plays a large part in
the destruction Of the metal, says
Architectural Art. Long expert
ence has shown how rapidly iron
nails employed in fastening sheets
of lead and copper upon roofs are
destroyed, the other, the electro
negative metal, remaining COM
paratively unaffected.
The electrolyte, or exciting
fluid, which by acting On the iron
and not on the other metal, or by
acting more upon the former
than upon the latter, causes the
electric current, is either actual
water from rain or snow or the
water vapor always present in
the atmosphere. The decomposi-
ton of the water causes the lib
Grafton of oxygen at the positive
pole, which is the iron. and this
nascent oxygen rapidly combines
with the iron. Now, tits claimed
that red lead is an excellent ma
terial for protecting iron from
rust and electrical action. I'm
fortunately, however, red lead is
more electromagnetic to iron than
either copper or lead. Hence,
should moisture by any chance
get between the red lead and the
iron, the destruction by rust is
more rapid than when iron is in
contact with copper or lead. This
electro-chemical action is at the
same time strengthened by the
purely chemical action between
the red lead and the carbonic acid
always present in the air, an ac-
ton which converts the red lead
into ceruse, whereby an additional
quantity of nascept oxygen is set
free to rust the iron. 1t is also
highly probable that the carbonic
acid has an independent action
upon the iron, thereby much fa-
cilitating its oxidation. 1t must
not be forgotten that every por-
GUS place and still more every
crack in the paint becomes sooner
or later an entrance for water
and carbonic acid. A good OF
varnish is by far the best protec'
ton for iron, but it must, of course
be properly used. Not only mus
the iron be scrupulously, practi
cally, and chemically clean anC
dry when the varnish is applied
but the covering must be withou
a flaw. Varnish will not adhere
to greasy, rusty, or wet iron, an(
the contraction Of the varnish OF
drying will Gauss minute crack
at such places and the iron-de
stroying gases will find their wa.
through these cracks and get be
tween the iron and the non-ad
herent varnish. Again, the warn
ish must be thoroughly dry be
fore the iron is exposed to tn
weather. The varnish may b
colored if the color does not inter
fere with the strength, continuit.
and elasticity of the protecting
skin. but is best dispensed with

RAMEY RIDGE
NEWS NOTES
Many Properties Developing
Rapidly---Several New
Strikes Made.

Erik Janson, who came, out from
Ramey Ridge district several weeks ago,
received letter few days ago from
his partners telling of new strike that
has recently been made in the Bismark.
Mr.. Janson states it appears to him to
be the biggest strike ever made in the
district. The ledge is IL feet and has
been traced distance of 5000 feet.
1t pans $50 in gold. The ore is oxidized
and sulphide in character. One assay
for copper showed 7 Ito per cent. The
ore is found on the east side of the
mountain.
Reports From Other Properties.
The letter tells of other properties, in
a way that goes to show that the Ridge
country has been developed wonderfully
the past winter. Mike Kensinger and
Charley Mclaughlin have uncovered a
new ledge. in the Evening Star, feet
in width and high grade ore.
The work in the new 3OO-foot tunnel
in the Snowshoe is progressing in a
satisfactory way, having reached 100
feet at the time the letter was written.
Fairview is Sold.
Joe Vanderbilt has bought the Fair
view, and intends to begin development
work before long.
Will Exhibit Ore in Elk City.
In view of the fact that the Elk basin
is going to be the mecca for mining
men and investors this summer, num-
Der of property owners in the Ramey
Ridge district will exhibit some of their
best ore here, with the hope that such
advertising will attract the attention
that is absolutely essential to the open
ing up of any mining district. Among
the properties to be represented in this
exhibit will be Bismark, Snowshoe,
Yellow Jacket, and Stonebrakers' prop
critics. The samples have been as
sembled, and shipment will be made Just
as soon as the trail by way of Dixie il
open for travel
