that the cost of extraction is as low, or
lower than the free milling method,

Concentrates from the free muiihg
plants in the camp are now being
treated by the Hutchinson process, also,
which process does not include roast
ing. The concentrates naturally contain
evanidicides, such as sulphur, arsenic
and copper. The Hutchinson process,
employed by the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines includes the use OF
anti-cyanidieides, followed by the regu-
lar cvanide treatment. This value de-
scription is all that can be gwen, as
the process, though patented, eontains
carefully guarded secrets. The Gold
field Consolidated Mines company, after
exhaustive tests at the Kinkead mill In
this camp, has such absolute
in the efficacy of the system that II is
constructing an elaborate plant. for the
use of the Hutchinson process at the
new Consolidated mill and is permitting
the concentrates from the Combination
mill to accumulate until the new plant
is completed.

ence has a lease on the former leasehoio
of the Chicago Florence. The territory
adioins the old Rogers Syndicate and
the Hall Florence on the southeast. T.
HI. Seeley of Toledo, Ohio, is president
OF the company and Henry Bell OF Gold
field is secretary and manager. The
shaft is down $40 feet and the manage

the Little Florence-R Rogers Syndicate OF
some related vein will be encountered
The shaft will be 400 feet deep when
the contract is finished, when cross
cutting will begin. The lease has been
extended until July LIST of ext year
1t is impossible to say what the chances
are for further extensions. No CONNER
cial ore has yet been encountered. TIT
president of the company enjoys excei
lent business relations here and there Is
nothing known in d~isparagement OF ms
motives. Failure to find ore does not
make of an honest man a rogue. Threats
will not expedite development work
From all data securable the property is
being managed c~onservatively and IN
diligently.
r. L. T., New York.-The GirouS
Consolidated Mining company, reports
that the. concentrating plant is now run
ming one shift, bptsexpects shortly to bs
able to run two shifts. The manage
ment found considerable trouble in Sc
curing miners, pump men and mill men
with whom to equip the mines ano
plant, and is now employing about l5C
men, but will add others as they cal
be had until the force has been in
creased at least 80 more men, when 9
second shift will be put on at the mill
The mill is now in full swing, but it will
be some days yet before it will be
working entirely satisfactory, for after
the long shut down it will be found
necessary to make many changes and
temporary repairs.

L. E. s., Seattle. The Belmont Sc
eurity company has secured the old
Combination mine at Belmont and has
installed a Turner mill with a capacity
of $50 tons daily. The mill has been
in operation nearly a month under the
supervision of T. b. Bassett, a we'll
known mill and mining man from Los
Angeles, and the results are more than
satisfactory, as over 30 per cent of the
values are saved. The company has,
in addition, acquired several of the old
Belmont mines, which were worked 35
years ago, when only high grade ore
was extracted, the low grade being
thrown into the Slopes.
