DON'T GO TO RAWHIDE
LOOKING FOR WORK

W WeBoOth of the Tonopah Bonanza
SAYS that working men should keep away
from Rawhide, if they are going to that
camp IN the. expectation of securing work
There Is little or nothing for miners
either Rawhide is without doubt one of
the greatest camps in the state for the
amount of development that has been
done, but there is no money there to
pay for labor. The majority of the work

MINES AND MINING|
NEW RAILROAD
FOR DEEP CREEK
San Pedro Engineers Reported
Investigating Country
West of TintiC.

There is a report in circulation to the
effect that representatives of the San
Pedro Railway company have been out
into the West Tintic, Erickson and Deep
Creek mining districts. within the past
few months endeavoring to get line
upon the amount of ore which would
be available in case a railroad was to
be constructed into that section, says the
Eureka Reporter.
1t will be remembered that a survey
was run into the Erickson district by
the San Pedro company last year, the
starting point being Tintic Junction. OF
course, there has been talk of a railroad
being constructed into these districts for
many years, and for that reason most
people will put but little faith in the new
rumOr until the above company starts
putting down the rails. The time is, how
ever, rapidly approaching when some one
will give these districts a railroad and
when this time does come there will be
some big mines opened up.
These districts have the ore in Suffi-
cient quantities to make the proposed
road a very profitable one, and while
some splendid ore bodies have already
been opened up the country has scarce
ly been scratched, because the mineown-
ers, or most of them, are simply holding
on and waiting for the railroad.

CINNABAR DEPOSITS
OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY

In a comparatively short time Hum
boldt county will be one of the pTin-
cipal producers of quicksilver in the
United States, says the Humboldt, New,
Star. During the past year it has been
demonstrated that there are many large
deposits of cinnabar situated in different
parts of the county.
W. G.. AdamsOn. the local mining man,
and his associates. nave acquired no less
than three properties that have every in
dication of making quicksilver mines. One
property in particular. located in Edo
RADIO canyon. in the Humboldt range, is
beyond the prospect stage and number
of the workings on the property are en-
tirely in the vermillion ore. Develop

G. b. Carpenter and associates, and the
work being done is demonstrating that
they have very valuable holdings. The
ore occurs in large lenses and is the rich
est cinnabar ore found in this section
of Nevada.
In the mineral display in front of the
Star office can be seen number of sam
piles of the ore taken from the differ
ent properties and the specimens all carry
a high percentage of quicksilver.

ANOTHER DRY PROCESS
FOR TREATING ORES

c. L. McKesson and Orville 5. Black
of Colorado Springs have leased the j.
o. Hames sampling works on South Fifth
$40 ore by a dry concentrator process, of
which Mr.. McKesson is the inventor. The
works will be in full operation within
ten days and will be open for public
inspection, says the Colorado Springs Tel
egraDh
If the new process does what the in
Ventor claims, il will reVOlutioniZe the
gold production of the west, inasmuch as
no water is required to concentrate any
number of tons of gold bearing ore. or
sands which carry flour gold.
Mr.. McKesson perfected his invention
last June and made immediate applica-
ton for patents. Since that time he has
experimental with many grades of ore.
as well as lava ashes and sands from the
Smoke river. in Idaho and he feels as
sured that his invention is a success. His
new mill is capable of handling from 20
10 80 tons of ore a day.

SULPHIDE ORE

Developments in South Drift of

SPLENDID TANGIBLE ASSET

Developments in the Lower Mammoth,
at Tintic, are reported to be of a char
acter thar is constantly proving the add
ed worth OF the property and daily en-
phasizing the necessity of pounding the
main working shaft down to the 1000

a distance of over 125 feet and its lin

The ground out in this direction Is "a
Their wet, and. as there are no proper
facilities for caring for the water, II Is
probable that no further effort Will be
made TO sink there until the main shaft
ton with this drift has been estab-
lished.
Enough work has already been DONE
however. to establish beyond question the
lead-silver ore exists there, with every
probability that the drift Is only scrap
Ing the top Of it. The disclosure is one
that is counted by the management as
adding just so much 10 the available
assets of the mine and the work done to
date has been sufficient 20 make its con-
version into cash an easy matter when
ever the right time comes.
Every energy is now being directed to
pushing the north drift ahead IN the d.
rection of where the main operating shaft
will be dropped down. There is some
thing like l40 to $50 feet to go yet, and,
Judging from the dip of the vein and
other physical conditions. it is not going
TO require much prosecuting, if any, to
set right under the shaft with this drift

BELIEVED THE MAMMOTH
WILL RESUME SHIPMENTS

The Eureka Reporter learns from pref
" reliable source that the officials of
the Mammoth company have about COM
pleted arrangements whereby the mine
will soon commence shipping again. We
understand that the Mammoth ore will
again be taken care of by the United
States company and that the first lot will
probably go out within a couple of weeks.
The Mammoth company has kept the
usual force at work on ore, notwith-
standing the fact that not pound could
be shipped. and as a result, thousands
.of tons of rich rock is now piled up in
the ore bins. upon the dump and blocked
out underground. When shipments are
again resumed there will be a continual
stream of ore en- route to the smelter
The Mammoth company has another
carload Of rich ore sacked ready for ship

valuable textbook for the use of the
new professors classes, a work entitled
"LOccultisme Hier ct AujOurd hui" by
DR.. J. Grasset. of Montpelier, France. It's
lessons could not possibly be too widely
spread among people who have a leaning
toward or interest in the mystical. for it
puts the whole subject. from the simp-
lest to the most complex forms Of queer
ness, on a strictly scientific footing, gives
clear directions for the hunter after
truth. gently separates the few known
facts in this tenebT0us domain from in
Vulnerable frauds and fancies, and in
half a dozen other ways is altogether
admirable
For moderation Of language the book is
in refreshing contrast with most discus
Sions OF the matters it treats. and,
though some have read il without discov-
ering why Dr. Gasset feels it obligatory
for scientific men to investigate the
tricks of every juggler that comes along.
it is all good reading and full Of edif-
