IMPERIAL CORONA
MUCH LOCATED

Mining News last week reported that
Henry Brown and George Hamilton had
made locations on the mining claims of
the Imperial Corona company at the be-
ginning of the new year. 1t was
learned after the paper was ISSUED that
two other locations had been made .on
the claims, one by j. H. Williams and
Isaac Maxwell and the other by ]. M.
McCaffrey and ]. B. Henniger. The
conflict appears to have come from the
varying time of the watches carried by
the different parties, and which one of
the watches had standard time prob
ably no court in the land would care to
determine. The parties interested
have endeavored to make solution in
the matter, but as one is as ''bull-
headed" as any of the rest, nothing has
been accomplished, and the three loca-
tion notices still stand. However. the
case has been simplifed by establishing
the fact that all the parties were or
the ground at one and the same time.

The Mine Is Good.

since we bought it in August proves
that the mine is good. and the reduction
plant is fully justified" said Mr.. Peck.
'In fact, some think that larger
plant should be built, but Mr.. Adams
and I are rather on the conservative
order, we have no stock for sale, SO we
intend establishing the business on a
firm basis.
''Our property is a fine showing, !"
continued Mr.. Peck. '"There is no
dead work about it. In every tunnel,
shaft and raise there is ore and good
re, too. We have added $50 feet to
me underground workings since Aug
ust. The main tunnel is 95 feet further
ahead, two raises have been run and a
crosscut 40 feet has been made. Our
gold is coarse gold.

THE DIAMOND CROP.
What Becomes of tho Peoks Of Gems
Turned Out Each Year2

Turned Out Each Year2
Where do all the crystallized gems
go-worth many millions Of pounds
which come into the market every
yearf The diamond is said to be one
Of the hardest things In nature and
Is practically impervious to wear and
tear. I have an idea, though L am
not certain, that an old diamond Is
every bit as good as a new one. sup
posing both belong to the same class
that is to say, diamonds do not wear
out as trousers or hats wear out.
Then what becomes Of the thousands
and thousands turned out each year?
I know that the financial geniuses who
control the diamond output keep the
supply down to the actual demand so
as not to lower the price, and thus
there must be steady demand for
these things to the value of millions a
year, and there must be a gradually
increasing stock or accumulation Of
them in rings or tiaras, crowns, scarf
pins and so on.
People do not cover themselves all
over with these gems and then jump
about in the street to shake them of
for the sake Of humble friends and
poor relations, as was done by the
gaudy Duke of Buckingham. A GER
tain number. know, are stolen every
year; but, after all, they are compare
lively few, and most Of them come
back into the market In very zhort
time.
The man who steals diamonds does
not eat them. He disposes Of them for
the benefit Of bis humble family, and
all he really does poor. honest and
misunderstood fellow Is to put them
into circulation. Where do they go7-

Five Stamps Be Pat on

GOLD ALL THROUGH THE MINE
6ood Ore in Every Tunnel,
Shaft and Raise.

Frank Peck, who with j. Adams, of
Atlantic City, New Jersey, owns the
South Fork mine, on the Clearwater,
left Sunday for Denver where he will
meet Mr.. Adams and they will place an
order for machinery and equipment for
a 5-stamp mill. Mr.. Peck stated that
work on the new reduction plant will be
started as soon as he gets back, or as
soon thereafter as the weather Will per-
Emit. Everything on that point depends
upon the amount of snow fall, Lumber
will have to be hauled, and it will be
impossible to do that if the snow is as
deep as it has been most years in Feb
ruary. At any rate, Mr.. Peck expects
to have the new mill running by the
middle of July.
Asked what process would be used in
the treatment of the tailings, Mr.. Peck
stated that was yet to be determined.

time ago to Seattle firm for labora-
tory test. but he would not be able to

Big Property in Qrogrande District
Will Start Up in Spring.
SAYS RELIABLE PARTY
Mill Run Probably Early in
March.

Mining News is informed by one of
the heavy stockholders ia the east that
the old Hogan property, now Butte
Orogrande, in Orogrande district, will
resume operating in the spring, probably
early in March. The stockholder
speaks in a very hopeful way of re-
suits that are expected to come when
the big property is operated again. 1t
is stated a new method recently placed
on the market will take the place of the
cyanide process.
1t is claimed for the property by
many good mining men that it is the
largest gold ledge in Idaho. Since the
suspension, two years in May, the ore
bodies have developed wonderfully from
just the assessment work done. AS
sessment for the year just passed is
now in progress, with a big crew of
men employed. 1t has been limited that
the work now being done is not assess
ment alone, but that it is the prelimi-
nary to the start-up in the spring. The
facts that the work was begun so late
in the year, that Manager George V.
Harrington of Spokane is in charge, anc
large crew is employed, give strong
foundation for the rumor.
The Butte -Orogrande has 20-stamI
mill and cyanide plant. The Glory Hole
system is used.

Salt Lake Man Perfects Machine
to Revolutionize Mining.
OFFERS A GREAT FIELD
River Holds Rich Treasure Of
Precious Metal.

Having experimental for many
months along the Snake river in Idaho,
E. E. Watrous, who worked in Salt
Lake about seven years for the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company, has
perfected Q placer gold mining machine
which he claims solves the problem of
saving the flake gold with which the
Snake and Green rivers abound, says
the Salt Lake Republican.
Mr.. Watrous has been located near
Rosa postoffice, Idaho, since early last
spring. Yesterday he arrived in Salt
Lake and at once made preparations to
have his machine patented. He tells
what his machine is accredited with do
ing, but deems it wise not to describe
it's mechanism,
''The Snake river is gold mine from
it's source to its mouth" said Mr.. Wat
rous. 81 do not believe there is yard
along the river that will produce less
than so cents worth of gold. There
have been yards of sand placered that
produced S28 to the yard. These, of
course, are the exception and any pros
pector would be foolish to hunt for par
ticularly well gold-iaden strips. There
is in my opinion at least seventy-five
miles of the Snake river that will pay
$1.50 yard in flake gold.
1T has always been a mystery how
to save the flakes. The flakes are much
lighter than bit of paper of the same
size and float to the top of the water in
the ordinary panning system.
81 am certain have perfected ma
chine that will collect every particle of
flake gold that goes into it. l have
watched for color behind the machine
and have never found the semblance of
gold. On the otner hand have found
all the color remained in the machine.
s'In mining gold on the Snake river
it is necessary to save quantities of
gold. The flakes are so thin that am
sure that it would take many thousand
flakes to make a solid inch of gold ir
thickness. I have demonstrated to my
satisfaction that one can shovel twenty
yards of dirt day into the machine
and save every particle of gold.'
Mr.. Watrout feels that his invention
will revolutionize placer mining along
the Snake river. He declares his inven
tion is different from any that has beer
tried. II went to work this summe,
determined to find out how to save al
the free gold in yard of sand in
practical way. I am certain l hav'
solved the problem, he said.

STRIKE IDAHO COUNTY MINES
Prominent Miner Tells About
It in Lewiston.

That work will commence within four
months on railroad that will serve the
Elk, Orogrande and Buffalo Hump re-
gions, thus giving transportation relief
to all that part of Idaho county, is an
opinion expressed yesterday by prom
inent mining man who was in the city,
says the Lewiston Tribune of last Sum-
day. II speak with information on
this subject" he said, "and if the pub
lie realized how far this important pro-
ject has been advanced, they unques-
tionably would be surprised"
When asked if the railroad in ques-
ton was that handled by an adjunct of
the Union Pacific and known as the
Butte-Lewiston road, which would pro-
vide line up the Middle Fork of the
Clearwater, the mining man replied:
~ feel that should not discuss this
matter further. l can say, however,
chat the knowledge that great ore bod
les, perhaps unrivalled gold ore bodies,
exist in that country and that this will
become one Of the great camps of the
world when transportation is provided,
has not been limited to mining men, but
full investigation months ago to that
effect was made by railroad interests
through the reports of the best experts
on the continent. 1t would not be un-
reasonable that ultimately a line ex-
tending out into the mining country
would afford link in making connec-
ton with some road on the east side of
the Bitter Roots, but the primary OBJ
ject of this road will be to tap the min
ing country. want to repeat that in
my judgment within four months work
on such road will be in progress.,'
From the same source, the informa-
ton was given the Tribune that min
ing deal, embracing So, 600, 900, on Hump
property, and which deal as originally
planned was to have been closed last
August, will be closed during the pres
ent winter. Some months ago report
was circulated that the Sweeney inter-
ests at the Hump had been sold for
millions to the Guggenheim people.

say whether the Sweeney deal might

A Dreamer Of Dreams. By JANE LUDLUM LEE. Copyrighted, 1908. by Associated

,I say, Charlie, do you believe in dreams?">
 Thus addressed, Charlie Darlington turned slowly around In his armchair. He and his friend, Billy Loughton, were seated. in the window of the American club watching the Saturday afternoon crowds pour out of the matt nees.
 "WeH. that depends largely on the dream" announced Darlington at length. "If, for instance, you dream of finding money in the street take my word for 1t, old man, there's noth- ing in 1t. But, on the other hand, dream that some distant relative has died and you are called upon to chip in and help pay funeral expenses-well, such things have been known to hap pen"
 "As a friend in need, Charlie Dar- lington," declared Laughton, you're a cipher"
 "Oh, I say old man." protested Oar llngton. "Asl, me something sensible.' Darlington rose from his chair and picked up his hat from a nearby table. I'm of. You had better go to sleep, and I'll leave word with the boy to call you in case you wander away in one of those dreams"
 Laughton did not know that his friends sudden departure had been caused by the sight of Charlotte Com stock walking down the avenue alone. Darlington overtool, her in few'min- utes.
