What Does Comfort Mean2

What does comfort mean, or de-

this and all the rest which we must
lose little by little, compared with the
only thing that is indispensable, and
that alone is happiness-peace?-Ed-

TRYING NEW PROCESS

There is an expensive and thoroughly
equipped establishment in this city,
known as the Goldfeld Chlorination
plant, about which little has been said,
owing to the retieence of the owners,
who do not desire to make any state
ments until they can show their process
to be complete success. This plant
would have been in operation weeks
ago, treating large quantities of ore,
but for slipup in the manufacture of
chlorine gas. 1t was proven in the
laboratories that the dry cell process
was success on small scale, but when
it was tried on commercial lines it was
found that the cell, which was con.
structed of castiron, was not able to
Withstand the intense heat The com
pany is now working on wet cell,
which is confidently believed to be the
process that will prove successful.

II is Mr.. CrAner's intention to sink

thought, the value-b bearing formation
could hardly be called a ledge, as there
is little quartz showing, and then it is
in the form of crystals and seams. The

highly silicified dacite. There are
strong indications that copper values

consigned to the sampler at Hazen and
consisted of 10 tons, the lowest return
being at the rate of $510 the ton. In
addition thereto there were 1,50o
pounds of quartz which averaged in
worth about $1.70 the pound, values
being about on parity in gold and sill
yer. Development below ground at the
lease is at present being supplemented
by a number of surface improvements,
among them being the erection of
shaft house. blacksmith shop and ore
bins. A hoist has been ordered, and is
expected on the job within two weeks.
Preparatory to it's installation the
shaft is being Strengthened.
Twenty tons of $210 per ton rock rep
resented the initial shipment from the
Mckinley lease on the Gar claim of
the Regent Rector company. At
depth of 40 feet the ledge from which
the consignment was mined is showing
width of II feet and is all ore. The
lowest returns are better than $26 per
ton, ranging above that figure to $40o
the ton. AS is the rule in the Regent
section of the camp, the quartz carries
generous per cent of silver. The de-
posit is remarkably well defined, even
in a camp remarkable for the definition
of it's intrusions at depth, and has min
eral promise the equal of the other
lease holdings on the Rector estate.
Development at the Waiter Boys
lease on the Gar continues to be asso-
ciated by the mining of high grade
shipping and high grade milling ores,
the former being consigned to smelter,
and the latter being held on dump un-
til such time as adequate and capable
milling facilities are established locally.
One consignment of the mill rock was
recently treated at the Gates plant but
owing to the rusty nature of the gold
the precious metal reclamation was not
satisfactory to the management OF
either lease or mill. The latest ship
ment to 90 out was billed to Utah

age value of at least 800 the ton.
