DISCOVERY OF NEW PROCESS

While it became known only recently that the
perfectng of a process under way,
matter of fact experimenting has been going for
time and after the process left the laboratory
stage it put in practical operation at the Kin
kead mill, where it has been successfully treating
ten tons of concentrates per day for some time. The
process, therefore, has passed the experimental
stage and is a reazation-a demonstrated economic
fact, and the process is being patented and will
be in commercial So important is the dis
covery that doubtless the of the inventor
and mining world.
Construction work the big mill of the Con-
solidated company Columbia mountain is keeping
apace with time and it is but matter of
few weeks when from it's stamps and tanks will be
secured a golden product that will not only draw
the ewes of the world toward Godfed, but will put
the district ahead of every producing camp in the
country.
During the past week the final touches
put all the foundations, two ears of structural
iron and steel which will be used in the constrne
ton of the building arrived and two more due
Monday. Then will commence the actual erection of
the gigantic structure and there will be
tion till every piece of iron steel is in its proper
place. The water tanks eight in number, and each
with a capacity of 100000 gallons have been placed
in position the north side of Columbia mountain
and with the pipes connected with the Goldfeld
Water company's Ida system they are being filed
with water. Two tanks of equal capacity have also
been erected in the mill.

During the past week the combina-
ton Fraction has been worked as il was
never worked before and is yielding to
the company any where from $4,000 to
sl2, 1000 per day, less the transportation
and treatment charges.
At no time since the opening up of
the big shoot at the 300-foot level,
some three weeks ago, has there been a
dearth of ore. In fact, almost every
round of holes makes it apparent that
the shoot is growing bigger and bigger,
for as development proceeds it is to the
right of them, to the left of them, above
them and below them, and il keeps the
buckets busy in getting it TO the sur
face.

MAKE SIX FEET A DAY
ON THE MITCHELL FAIRFIELD

The double-compartment shaft OF the
Mitchell Fairfield company, working
blocks and IL on Combination No. 3
claim, has attained depth of 365 and
is making at the rate of six feet a day.
In the progress of the shaft work
number of small veins and stringers
have been cut. These all showed
heavy naturalization, but the values
were nominal, running from So to So.
With depth, however, they should in
crease both in quantity and quality,
and when intersected at 500, where the
management plans to run a series of
crosscuts, they should, unless the his
tory of the camp goes for naught, con-
tain values of shipping grade.

SECOND SHIFT AT WORK

On Wednesday of this week the Red
Hills Mining and Leasing company,
which is operating block of ground on
the Red Hills property, added another
shift to its working force and will now
push development for all it is worth.
The main shaft on the lease has
reached depth of $50 feet, and for the
last thirty feet three-foot perpendieu-
lar vein has been followed. Running
through this appears small stringer
of quartz which indicates average
values of $50 to the ton. This will be
followed to depth in the hope that it
will lead to big pay shoot. This lease
runs till January /, 1910.

The groups of claims which were put
into the Merger company were the
Velvet, st. Ives, Gold Horn and Pot
latch, and they are situated in field
that should prove as rich and prolific
as that which embraces the Mohawk
Combination, Jumbo and Red Top. In
addition they are almost within 9
stone s throw of the latter.
George A. Kernick, who is second
vice president of the Merger company
and was one of the original locators
and leasers in the Goldfield district
was in camp the early days OF the
week. He stated that the financing OF
the new company had arrived at such
point that it was safe to assume that
development work would begin on the
property within a few weeks.

LADS NEARLY PERISH
IN SANDBANK CAVEIN
Four Small Boys Almost
Smother, but Are Saved by
Alert ByStander

Buried under a ton of sand which
caved in on them while they were at
play, four small boys would have per-
ished yesterday but for the prompt
work of John Ryan, who dug them
out. The accident occurred at Laguna
street and Golden Gate avenue. When
rescued the boys were unconscious,
and one Of them did not revive for
nearly an hour.
The youngsters were playing at the
bottom of a IA foot excavation for a
new building. They were tunneling
into the side when, without warning.
the entire bank gave way.
The four lads were Harold Marks of
1902 Golden Gate avenue, Leslie Vogel
Of Laguna and Turk streets, Ignatius
Bezoil of $50 McAllister street and
Gilbert Eagan Of $50 McAllister street.
