Chet Leavitt, the pioneer Funeral
range miner, has grown rich from the
Inyo gold mine of Echo canyon. The
sugar quartz runs high in gold, and
stock is worth S1.00 per share.
Recorder Bryson OF Bullfrog says
there are 5000 valid locations in that
district. Bullfrog now includes the old

CONCLUSIVE TEST
OF LANE MILL
Run Side by Side With Five
Stamp Battery. Results Tabu-
lated and Compared.
Excellent Qualities
(Reprinted from the Us AnEelea Mn

(Reprfnted from the Los Angeles Min
ing Review, January 26, 1907, by j.
A. Stewart, Superintent Bonita Min
ing Co., Barron, Washington)
The Bonita Mining company's prop
erty is situated 1000 feet above sea level
In the Cascade mountains near Barron
postoffice, Whatcom county, state of
Washington, and consists of twenty
three mining claims and n ten-stamp
mill. In 1900 Messrs. Charles Tozer and
G. d. Lane of San Francisco had the
mill built to treat ore which was being
extracted from rich shoot in the
Eureka mine, one of the claims now
owned by the Bonita company. The
ore in this mine occurs in large, ir-
regular bodies situated in the hanging
wall side of a fault or fissure, which
has a northeasterly strike through cre-
taceous shales. No ore so far has been
found in this fssure, but in the shales,
which have been shattered on the hang
ing wall side, large bodies of ore from
twelve to sixty feet in width have been
developed. The ore bodies are inter-
mixed quartz and shale, and are of too
low a grade to be profitably treated
with the ten stamps The company
therefore, determined to increase the
capacity to at least 200 tons per day.
My attention having been called to an
article written by Mr.. j. a. Wauchope,
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

crush at least fifty tons per day. We
use etRctric power and treat the con-
centrates with cyanide of potassium
without agitation. So far we have not
treated any of the concentrates taken
from the Lane mill. but from past tests
made on reground battery concentrates
] am confident that much higher ex-
traction will be made from the Lane
mill product in the same length of time
The cost of installing this mill ready
to run did not exceed $780, Had we
installed ten more stamps the cost
would have been about $4,000. Freight
from Seattle is 31s cents per pound.
We would have had to build an ore bin.
increase the size of our building and
buy more plates and self-feeders, all of
which are expensive. This company
is greatly pleased with the above re-
suits and is preparing to install four
more mills-one to be placed in front of
the other battery and the remaining
three to be fed by gyratory crusherS.
In conclusion, allow me to state that
I have been for many years an advo-
cate of the stamp mill process, but the
experimental test recently made has
shattered my former conviction. The
eminent mining engineers, Messrs. G.
A. and H. s. Denny, state in Mining
Magazine, vol. 10, page 1877, the follow
ing:
"It might, of course. be argued that
each machine had it's own separate
functions, which is true; but the
spheres of each overlap, and by the
combination OF stage breaking and
grinding machinery, the overlapping
of the breakers on the one side and
the grinding plant on the other side
leaves no place for the stamp, and it
seems reasonable to believe that it can
be left out Of the reduction plant alto
gether."
Mr.. J. A. wauchope, M. E.. states.
same volume, page 279, the following:
There is no one machine yet in
vented that can excel the stamp for
crushing from coarse to fine in one
operation; but the combination of stamp
of k-breakers. breaking to ,one-half
inch or less and then feeding to slow
speed finishing mill, will put direct
stamp-mill practice out of business"
1t is my opinion that both writer's ara
correct. J. A. STEWART.
For cataIOg, Mr.. WauchOpe's report or
further information write to @. Q.
Lane, 11O1 TOwne Avenue, Los AM
geIes, Cal.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-03-17

1t is evident that Mr.. Wauchope's
statement. as follows. is correct:
"The slow speed Of tho mill and the
high discharge render it q natural
hydraulic sizer."
The product from the stamps when
examined by magnifying glass shows
sharp edges and angular shapes. The
reground product has rounded edges
and globular forms. It Is evident that
the regrindng process of the Lane sys-
tom makes a product by abrasion
which is entirely different from that
of the stamps. and in my Judgment is
the better for amalgamation, concen-
tration or cyaniding.
| have often noticed free gold in the
lino above the sulphurets on the Will
hey tables from the stamps, and none
mas been found from the Lane system.
In ore where the gold Is rusty, abra-
sion viii undoubtedly aid amalgama-
tion.
The Lane mill made six revolutions
per minute and crushed forty tons per
day OF twenty-four hours, while the
stamps dropping ninety-six times per,
minute crushed sixteen tons with 25-
mesh wire screen. Twelve horsepoyer
is required TO drive the Lane mill with
full load. Judging from the present
wear on tires and track, which have
been In use six weeks. 1 estimate the
cost Of repairs will not exceed 3 cents
per ton of ore crushed. The hardness
of the ore we are crushing is above the
average. By increasing the speed of
the Dane mill from six to eight revolu-
tions per minute, which we are going
to do, feel confident that the mill will

WieIdnd'S S Beer
ADL0FF & HAUERWAAS, THE
LOCAL AGENTS, PREPARED
TO SERVE THE TRADE
The Wieland Agency Now Pre-
pared to Fill the Demand

one OF the largest establishments in
San Francisco that was placed en-
tirely out of commission by that terri
BILE calamity which was caused by the
earthquake and fire on April 49, 1906
was the John Wieland brewery, the loss
| of which was not only felt In San Fran
cisco and Northern California but to all
the lovers of good beer In Los Angeles
as well as Southern California.
The Wieland beer has been at, all
times the favorite brew drank in the
wost. The well known firm OF Adloff
e. Hauerwaas have been sole agents for
the Wieland beer for the past fifteen
years, and were obliged to supply to
their large trade the beer brewed by
| other breweries for some time after the
quake.
The fredericksburg brewery Of San
Jose, Cal, also owned and operated by
the San francisco Brewerles, Limited,
for which Adloff &c Hauerwaas are sole
agents, was slightly damaged by the
earthquake of the same tate, but was
promptly repaired and placed in opera
ton, and the beer on hand at this brew
cry, amounting to over $4,000 barrels,
was unharmed. From the FredericlSs-
burg brewery Adloff & Hauerwaas pro-
cured their supply of beer until last
Saturday, March o. 1907, which will be
remembered by thousands of people as
"Wieland's day" this day. being the
first day that the product from the
John WieIand brewery of San Fran
cisco, Cal, was placed ON draught in
all the principal saloons In the city and
county, as well as in bottles at all the
restaurants, cafes and family liquor
stores. The testimony of thousands says
that the Wieland beer is better than
ever, this fact being the result of nearly
a years careful, diligent and indefatig-
able efforts by score or more of the
very best mechanics as produced by the
American brewers architects, the John
Wieland brewery having been rebuilt
and fitted with the most down to date
machinery and brewing facilities, their
capacity having been at the same time
greatly enlarged.
The John Wieland brewery COM
mence brewing on August IA, 1906, and
placed on the market March 8, 1907
thus enabling the celebrated beer it's
age for which it has always been re-
nowned, as we'll as for its qualities of
purity and'strength. No expense has
been spared in again making Wieland's
beer at the head of the list and where
it rightfully belongs.
The beer is shipped by special refrige
rator cars owned by the John Wieland
brewery to Los Angeles and there
stored in the large ice houses and re-
rooms of Adloff & Hauer-
waas, the beer being bottled at the bot |
Ting works located at 112-11S Central
avenue, there receiving the careful
by large force Of competent
bottlers.
The delivery system is an immense |
part of the successful agency, having
ten wagons for the delivery Of beer in
bottles and kegs.
All orders for keg and bottle beer
receive prompt attention and Wieland's S |
beer, Better Than Ever" will always
be for the asking.

Mining in Mexico

In Mexico partido means a division of
ores between partners. Working a
mine by partido is when the miners
agree with the owners to take a cer-
tain part of the ores in place of wages.
Usually the mine owner provides can
dies, powder and steel, and keeps the
drills sharpened, and receives in pay
ment of royalty and supplies two
thirds or more of the ore taken out.
This contract is renewed weekly or
monthly. etc, and the proportion of
ore retained by the miners is greater or
smaller according to the richness of
the slopes where they work. 1t is gem
orally bought from them by the mine
owner himself for various reasons.

M. E., regarding slow speed mills, the
directors after due consideration deter
mined to install ore of these mills to
do the fine crushing and amalgama- :
tion-using five of the stamps as a
secondary ore crusher. BY making this
side by side test, the results would
enable them to determine the merits
of the two systems and to form a cor
rect judgment regarding machinery to
be installed in the future. / think the
information acquired from this test
may be of interest to some of your
readers, and therefore give a brief
description of the results obtained.
A ten-foot Lane mill was placed in
front of one of the batteries consist
ing of five 1000-pound stamps, making
its intake low enough for the pulp from
the battery to be delivered to it by
gravity. A quarter inch mesh No. 16
wire screen was put on the battery,
and the stamps were given six-inch
drop with a 41a-inch discharge. The
Lane mill was fitted with eight-mesh
wire screen and siX-inch discharge. The
pulp from the mill was discharged to
plates five feet wide, eighteen feet in
length, and then to two Wilfey con-
centrators. The other battery of five
10O0-pound stamps was given a six
inch drop, with a five-inch discharge
through twenty-five mesh wire screen
and the pulp was run over plates five
feet wide and twenty feet in length,
and then over one Whitley concentra-
tor. Hourly samples were carefully
taken from the batteries, footNof plates,
and from the concentrators for three
days. Samples show saving as follows:
