Waste of W alter.

year to the extent of millions of horse
power. AS the essential factor in all irri-
cation work 1t is being wasted by use TO
excess in many instances but on a much
larger scale and to the value of hundreds
to go to waste year after year by not being
used at all; and in many localities, the linn
tied supply of artesian water available
for irrigation and other purposes is being
wasted considerable scale by being
allowed to flow continuously when not
needed, or in excess of actual need.
Other mineral resources are being vast
ed on as large a scale as is true of water,
but their waste Is even more serious mat
ter. for the reason that the supplies are
not reproduced, as in the case of water,
but when once exhausted are exhausted
permanently. No better Illustration of this
fact can be found than Is seen In the de-
serted mining camps, deserted after the
mines have become exhausted. In connec-
ton with metallurgical processes there is
often waste of materials. which also
prove injurious, such as the large quanti-
ties of sulphur and arsenic vapors that are
turned loose from the chimneys of the
and should be prevented, for the double
reason that these materials have a COM
merciai and economic value, and they are
destructive of adjacent vegetation. This
destruction of vegetation allows the rains
to evade the bare land surfaces and de.
post the transported soil into the adjacent
stream.

Miners, as class, have been gen.
orally believed to be rather more
free from prejudices of superstitions
than are many other craftsmen, and
little has ever been said concerning
their fixed belief in this respect, al
though at least two are well known,
especially among prospectors of the
old school.
One of these has to do with the
location of placer gold, which is gen.
orally first. sought for by the pros
pector on the right fork of stream.

tons are favorable. and the gravel
carries gold. it is generally found
there in preference to the left fork.
although many make the mistake OF
facing the mouth instead of the
source of the stream when making
the selection. Geology has SO far
given no reason for this fact, al
though its truth is universally ack-
nowledged.
Another well founded belief,
whether or not It amounts to a super
stition, is contained in the fact that
gold bearing lodges are found more
often on the hillside receiving the
morning sunshine. This applies to
all minerals as we'll as gold. and IL

South Africa or California with equal
faith.
The latter belief is also borne out
By the history of discoveries, and is
partially accounted for by science, by
the theory that the parts Of hills in
countries where snow falls, which are
subject to the greater duration Of
sunshine, are thereby worn OF super
fetal deposits the more. by reason of
snow slides and running water,
which exposes the older formations.

Don GiIlies in Salt Lake Making
Contracts for Ore Treatment.
d. B. Gillies, president of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and Tonopah
Extension Mining companies, and
Mr.. Schwab's representative in the
west, arrived in Salt Lake yester-
day morning. Mr.. Gillies said that
he was making final contracts for
the treatment of the concentrates
from the Montgomery-Shoshone mill.
The mill has been completed for
about three weeks, but has not be-
gun operations, due to the failure
Of the power company to supply the
electricity, which is the motive
power for running the plant. 1t is
expected that operations will begin
September is. Mr.. Giliies is quite
enthusiastic over the Montgomery
Sheshone, which he says is one OF
Ncvada's largest mines. The prop
erty is now developed to the 500
foot level, and equipped with the
most modern mill and mining ma
chinery that it is possible to buy. A
three-compartment shaft is being
sunk and has now reached depth OF
$40 feet, at which point the water
level was encountered. The ore bod
les above the water level are large
and extensive and good proportion
OF the product is shipping ore. The
company at the present time is ship
ping about carload a day Of high
grade ore. No attempt. however, has
been made to ship large quantity,
as IL Is the desire of the management
to ship only the higher grade ores In
connection with the milling ores as
taken from the mine. There are now
on the dumps ofthe Montgomery
Shoshone about $4,000 tons Of mili-
ing ore that will run $40 a ton. The
capacity pf the new mill viii be 800
tons 4 day. ~%3as 4s
Mr.. Gilltes was asked concerning
the Tonopah Extension property. and
be saidsthat they were doing very ex-
tensive development work there at
the present time. The shaft has
been sunk to the 1050-foot level and
a crosscut is now being run from this
point to the main ore body, which
will be encountered at a distance OF
about 900 feet north Of the shaft.
1t Is expected this crosscut will reach
the ore body not later than February
II. A considerable quantity Of ship
ping ore is being mined from the up
per levels of the mine, and great
quantities Of milling and shipping
ores are being blocked out.
Mr.. Gillies said that Mr.. Schwab
would visit the, west during the
month of October. as is his custom
each year. Salt Lake Tribune.
