MORE CLAIMS ADDED TO
BLACK JACKS HOLDINGS

Jesse Knight is still reaching out after
more mineral ground in Tintic and hardly
a week passes that he does not add an
other slice to his present holdings. which
stretch from one end of the district TO the
other says the Eureka Reporter.
This week Mr.. knight completed a deal
whereby the Black Jack company secures
the three claims of the Ajax-Mammoth
Extension company. A glance at the map
shows that these claims were almost en-
tirely surrounded by the Black Jack COM
with Mr.. Knight have for some time been
aware of the fact that deal was pend
ing.
BY taking over these three claims. Mr..
knight adds some very valuable ground
to the Black Jack and gives the company
one of the largest and best groups of
claims in the district. The consolida-
ton of the Star and Black Jack was ap-
parently only starting point in Mr..
knights plans as he has since added two
groups TO the Black Jack holdings.
Mr.. knight and other officers of the
company had in mind the purchase of the
Ajax Mammoth Extension ground when
they levied the last assessment upon the
Black Jack. and had ii not been for this
deal il is doubtful if the assessment would
have been levied.
Local shareholders in this company will
no doubt be pleased to learn of the above
deal which shows that Mr.. Knight Is de-
termined to make the Black Jack one OF
his strongest companies.
Taking into consideration the amount OF
ore which is now exposed In the mine. IL
should not be many months before the
shareholders are able TO draw down some
dividend money.

the four-inch and the drill pipe. AS the

setting on fire the oil which was stream
ing down on the ground, which rapidly
communicated the element to the well.
Thus. in the short space Of half minute
one of the greatest fires in the annals of
the oil business was created
Later. the pressure caused the oil to
break through around the outside of the
six-inch casing and at present the hole
instead of being six inches is perhaps ten
or twelve feet in diameter. OF course in
view Of the greater diameter of the out
let, at present the stream does not gush
out with the pressure and to the height
it did a few days ago, but the volume of
oil that is burning is perhaps nearly the
same as formerly. although II is not now
possible to estimate il.
The oil came out of the pipe in a solid
black column and apparently the fire did
not begin until distance of from twenty
to twenty-five feet above the upper end
of the pipe.
The height of the flame made a strong
current of air, which would catch any of
the drops or sprays of oil which detached
themselves from the main column and
carry them upward. The color of the flame
changed from dark at the bottom to dark
red at the top, where it became dispersed
into a spray of burning oil. which was
carried by the current of air and force
of the jet until entirely consumed. The
appearance of these shoots and drops OF
oil circling the flame. it is impossible to
describe but it looked like the phospho-
resent spray and foam sometimes seen
on the waves on the coast.
It was the greatest oil fire produced by
one single well In the history of the oil
industry, and the jet was carried further
into the air than any other that there Is
any authentic record OF.

NEW APPLICATION OF
MACQUISTEN PROCESS

Considerable attention has lately been
attracted to the subject of ore concentra-
are the De Bayay. the Gilmore and the
Macqusten methods of application, saws
Mining Science of Denver.
These processes are all based on what Is
commonly termed surface tension" ap-
plying this peculiar physical phenomenon
IN various ways. and are the result of the
early experiments by Delprat and Potter
II might be of interest to briefly state
the lines along which these various ex-
perimenters nave operated
In the De Bavay method a chemical ac-
ton is induced which. by forming gas
film on the minerals affected. causes them
to float The gas and subsequent flota-
ton is selective in that the chemicals act
only on the compounds of the metals. In
this method only water Is used as the me-
dunn of flOtation.
In the Elmore method the De Bavay
method is assisted by the addition of oil.
which, by very peculiar selectiVe ac-
ton. coats only the mineral particles
and by its presence promotes the adhe-
sion OF the gas films, thus adding TO its
buOyancy.
The Macquisten method relies entirely
on the normal and natural surface tension
using no chemicals. oil or gas. This sur
face tension" is readily illustrated by
carefully placing a needle or pin on the
surface - quiet water, on which II will
float, contrary to the laws of gravity.
Another illustration is often met with in
mill operations when finely divided mer-
curry is seen on the surface of the water
in the amalgam traps.
1t is not our intention to go into the
physical causes for this action. but it
strikes us that a flotation process might

The material that is hardest to save IN
ordinary concentration is that part which
has a tendency to float, and this part. pre-
sumably. would be the part easiest savsl
by flotation process. Why not. then, use
the two processes together, each for that
part of the concentration best suited to
its operation?
In the reports on the application of
these methods we see no statement of
this course being attempted. and make
this suggestion as line of possibly sue
