The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-05-25

In looking over a back volume of the
Journal, our attention was recently at
tracted to an article in the issue of
December 7. 1901. which described a
cyanide plant in course of erection at
the Chairman mine, Ely. New.
Only five years ago that district,
which had been known since the COS
was still regarded as a low-grade gold
mining district, and efforts were be-
ing made to operate by improved meth
DDS the mines. which as gold mines had
been failures for more than thirty
years. The original exploitation for
gold Of districts which subsequently,
became famous for great ore deposits
of baser metals is no new thing. Min
ing began in that way at Leadville, Colo,
at Bingham, Utah, and elsewhere. How
ever. no one dreamed five years g
OF the immense deposits Of copper ore
which underlaid the lean. copper-free
gold ore of Ely. That discovery was
analogous to the great bodies of gold
ore at the Mount Morgan mine. in
Queensland, which were also under
laid by immense deposits Of copper ore.
These discoveries to our mind. are of
more ~far-reaching Importance than the
QeVelOpment Oh tuelT OWu supplies VI
copper. inasmuch Is they lead to a
knowledge of new facts in the science
of ore deposits which perhaps will be of
immense value. History presents num-
erous presidents.
Although the discovery Of ore de-
posits is chiefly fortuitous. the prog
ress In the science of economic geology
has greatly improved the ability of the
prospector to prosecute successfully
his search for ore. and Of the miner
to estimate the value of his discovery.
Fol example, the discovery of rich
silver ore at White Pine. Nevada, in a
limestone formation was the prime
cause of redirecting attention to the
naturalization of the same kind of rock
at Eureka, Nevada, and ever afte-ward
prospectors looked especially for great
deposits of lea ore in limestone forma-
tons; not that limestone had not pre-
viously been known as a kindly rock
for the deposition of lead, but that 1t
remained for the discovery of the
Eureka bonanzas to impress the fact
on all minds. Similarly the discovery

NEW STRIKE AT Fl. CHURCHILL

A new and great gold and silver dis
trict was discovered on Wednesday two
miles north of Fit. Churchill and scores
of men from Ramsey and from the sur
rounding country are rushing to the
place making locations and getting In
on the ground floor of the new country.
The strike was made by a couple of
prospectors and within a short time the
news had spread and there was a whole
sale rush to the place.
Among the first that heard Of the
find were the men employed on the
Southern Pacific railroad between
Moundhouse and Churchill. When
they heard of the matter every man
deserted the train and started for the
hills two miles away on a run. Chas.
Wagner, engineer on the Southern Paci-
fc and well known in this city where
he visits almost every week. led the
crowd over the hills to the new Eldor-

ado. 1t was in the afternoon when they
arrived at the place but they started
to work and Wagner and his friends
worked all night long making locations
throughout the place. When morning
came Wagner had located fourteen
claims, many of them thought to be rich
in gold, silver and copper.
Yesterday samples from the tops Of
lodges were received in this city from

tie had not necessarily developed
tuberculosis in the worst stages,
but that they had the germs and
ought to be killed. What is now
pointed out as a dangerous circum-
stance is that although these facts
have been known for some time.
The board of health has taken no
steps to prevent tuberculosis from
entering this city from any of the
100000 cows in the state that con-
tain germs.
The most valuable help rendered
by the men who are supposed to
have the health of the city under
their care has been TO appoint in
spectorS. earning small salaries and
with very little authority, who are
in the habit of visiting the farmers
in localities where the deadly raw
milk is produced and attempting to
persuade them to take measures to
keep their cattle and stables clean.
That this method is faulty and
practically useless is admitted by
experts. While clearly conditions
may tend to prevent the spread of
the germs. it cannot kill those that
infect the animals themselves or
prevent them. from passing into
the milk. The only sure remedy
is to pasteurize the milk.
The best experts say that germs
are not all destroyed until the
milk is subjected to temperature
of l65 degrees for at least 20 min
utes.
At present some dealers are rep
resenting that the product they
handle is pasteurized milk, when
the death dealing liquid has not
been subjected to heat for more
than 30 seconds. The inspectors
found that in some cases dealers
claimed to handle pasteurized milk
when it had been subjected to no
heat whatever.
Many respectable physicians be-
lieve that proposed city plant for
the pasteurization of all milk sold
would be godsend. This would
minimize the death rate and prac-
tically do away with the chief cause
of tuberculosis. 1t would cost some
millions and for that reason Is OPP
