THE BANNER.

The carpenters are now busy placing
the framework for the mill in position
and by the time some long timbers ar
rive for the plates and are framed and
placed, the structure will be ready for
the roof. The big concrete battery
block was completed last week, and a
number of laborers and masons were
laid off. AS development work had pro-
gressed in the mines until there was no
necessity for showing up any more ore
until bins at the mill could be con-
structed for its storage, the miners EN-
ployed in Nos. l and 2 drifts were laid
off last week and only the men contin-
uing No. drift north and those en-
ployed in making an upraise shaft to
connect Nos. 4 and drifts at a poiAt
500 feet north of the crosscut tunnel al e
now at work. The ore in this upraise
is proving somewhat of a pleasant sur
prise to the manager and employees.
The ledge which is q feet in width at
the No. drifC level narrows slightly as
they raise on it, but shows a greater
amount Of good grade OF ore. They
know that on No. drift, 12O feet above
them, there is fine shoot OF ore, but
did not expect that at this point it
ould be found to continue down SC
nearly to No 4.

the Home claim, lying north and direct
ly under the town Of Silver City
A rumor became current, when the
work on the mill was suspended, that
The Potosi had been closed down. This
runor WAS entirely unfounded, and
there never was time since work was
begun on the property, when its out
look was SO promising or when there
was so much high grade ore in sight
for stopping. Only the impossibility Of
getting an electric transformer until
well along in the winter and the mad
visibility of continuing work on the
mill during the most expensive season
of the year, caused work on the mill to
be suspended for the present

PoToSI.

Owing to inability to procure electric
equipments for its mill until late in the
winter, when work on the structure
would be very expensive, the manage
ment of the Potosi, last Friday decided
to suspend further work on their mill
until spring, and the grading for the
mill plant being completed, all the men
not working in the mine were laid off.
At the same time the superintendent
was. given instructions to keep full
force of men at work sinking the mine
shaft below the No. 2 level which is
now being done. 1t will be continued
down to the point where No. level
will start and probably sunk deeper.
As no level was started north from Nos.
l and for fear of encountering creek
water, the first drift north will be start
ed from No. level to cut the vein in

Thorite Blasting Powder.

The United Powder Co., which works
at San Jose, California, is placing on
the market several varieties of thorite
or safety blasting powder, for which
superior advantages are claimed over
nitroglycerine and other powders now
in use.
1t is asserted, firstly, that the powder
is from 40 to so per cent more efficient;
secondly that it will not freeze and is
not affected by age; thirdly, that it
gives off no fumes and is therefore less
injurious to the health of the users;
fourthly, that it explodes as a whole
only by the conclusion of most power
full cap; filthy, that it is lighter in
weight aud can therefore be transport
ed at less expense, and sixthly, that it
is cheaper than nitroglycerine powders.
In proof OF these assertions the COM
pany lately carried on public tests of
several days duration at its San Jose
works. The tests included ''bulldozing,"
(rock-splitting and shattering), blowing
up of mammoth oak trees and the ham
mering and ignition experiments, all of
which were highly satisfactory. In all
these tests the absence of noxious or in
furious fumes was noticeable charac-
teristic, while the safety of handling
and firing the powder was demonstrated
in several wsys.-Mining Reporter.

A water tank, having capacity of about
25,000 gallons, was purchased last week
from Bert Townsend Of Magontown.
aud the pieces are on the ground ready
to be put together again. The tank will
be fed by two small springs which, from
their position, will afford fall of l50
feet, and will supply enough water for
the drills and for general purposes
about the mine.
The cement foundation for the COM
pressor is partly laid. This required

Another Owyhee Pioneer
Passes Away.


Surrounded by his family and mum
Der of his close friends, James e. Gus
man passed peacefully to another world,
from his home in Pleasant Valley, Owy-
hee county, at II 80 a. M, November
8, 1907.
Deceased can be reckoned among the
earlier pioneers Of this county, having
continuously made his home within its
boundaries since 1864, coming in that
year to Silver City, and removing to his
late Pleasant Valley home eight years
la er, where he engaged in stock grow
ing.
In 1873 he married Miss Emma Parks,
who resided in the same valley, who
with their three grown children, Jennie
B., Harry j., and Francis NJ still sur
vive him, all living at their old home.
Deceased was born at Catawba, West
Virginia, in 1885; removed to Illinois
when IS years of age, and in 1859 cross
ed the plains to California with an OK
team, and thence to Idaho five years
later, locating first at Silver City, where
he became a member of the Masonic
Order, which membership be retained
until the time he died.
Mr. Gusman early engaged in the
horse and cattle growing industry, and
at the time of his death was possessed
of a large number of horses and cattle,
in addition to one of the best ranches
in his section of the county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gusman spent the
greater portion of this past summer
travelling and visiting relatives in the
east, returning home about the middle
of September. While in Buffalo he
consulted specialists respecting his ply
sical condition aud was told that he had
no ailment. Taken ill after arriving
home, he took to his bed on Monday,
November 4, and expired shortly after
midnight the following Saturday NOR
ming, his physicians diagonized his com
plant to be cancer OF the stomach.
Ills funeral was held from the school
house in Jordan Valley, Rev. N. G.
Bradley conducting the services, after
which the Masons from Silver City
Lodge took charge of the remains, hold
ing services at the grave.
The funeral was one of the largest

large number from DeLamar and Silver
City,.

So little has been said by Nugget re-
garding the Metallic NJ & VI. Co., since
work was resumed upon the property
in the spring, that brief resume of the
history of the mine may not be out of
place, in connection with the foregoing:
The mine, formerly known as the
Miller & Walter property, is located on
the northeast point of Florida Mountain
aud was located a good many years ago
by Messrs Miller aud Walters, two pros
porous cattle growers then residing in
this county. The property was opened
by them by 800 foot crosscut tunnel
run west from the eastern side of the
mountain, and the vein drifted upon
both north and south for considerable
distances. Two or more crushings OF
ore were taken out and are reported to
have milled $50 per ton. But the par
ties, selling out their cattle interests
here, removed to California more than
twenty years ago, having patented the
mine, since which little work has been
done on it. But more than a year ago
the sons of Mr.. Miller, now young men,
organized the Metallic M. & M Co.,
and commenced work on the mine.
They purchased from the Trade Dol
lar 1850 foot tunnel, run south paral-
lei with their ledge, but cutting the
mountain at much greater depth and
further south, and this is the tunnel
they are now equipping with electric
machinery to run power drills and from
which they propose to crosscut west
ward to the ledge.

First-It remains in suspension

spray, and hence requires but little
agitation.
Second-It is very adhesive, but
little affected by rains, and therefore
requires a less number of appllca
