Tribe Of cannibsls.
Missionaries have much to contend

upon regaining his strength he jour

TUSCARORA'S BIG co.
is FINALLY FINANCED

The Elko Free Press states that prom
inent mining operator of that place has
received word from Boston that the Tus-
carOra Nevada Mines company has been
finally financed and that 1t is but mat
ter of a few days until The money viii
DE available for the company. The round
ing out of this company's enterprise is
expected to stimulate other mining prOpO-
sitions in the TuscarOra field In review
ing the plans of the big company the pa
per goes on to say:
This is grand news for both Tuscarora
and Elko. The plans of the Tuscarora-
Nevada people include: /, the sinking of
a deep fOur-cOmpartment and other shafts
and the building of large mills; 9, the
building of a large power plant; g. the

SIGNIFICANT STRIKE
IN THE ELY CAMP

While doing the assessment work for
this year, preparatory to the application
for a United States patent, on the Vesta
mine, men in the employ of John Weber,
the owner of the property made one OF
the most important strikes that have
been discovered in that section of the
Robinson district and one that has proven
beyond a question of a doubt the exist
ence and extension of the enriched mon-
zonite copper belt of the district TO the
north side Of the canyon, says the Ely
Mining ExpositOr.
Heretofore il has been the assumption
that no sulphide ore of any commercial
importance would be discovered on that
side of the canyon. However, the strike
made by Mr.. Weber on the Nesta has
completely upset this theory.
In a shaft forty feet deep. which is be-
ing sunk in a porphyry intrusion in the
limestone four feet of solid sulphide ore.
carrying iron pyrites and copper chalco-
cites. has been sunk through in the past
few DAYS with the bottom of the shaft
TODAY in an improved character of ore No
ASSAYS have vet been made but il bears
the appearance of the ores from the work
ings of the Nevada Consolidated and will
probably carry better than per cent cop
per.
The Vesta mine adjoins the property of
the Ely Northern Copper company, in
which some local people have a stock in
ferest acquired because of the merits of
the ground. The strike of sulphide ore on
the neighboring claim is gratifying news
and will help to stimulate a better feeling

MORE MONEY IN
LOW GRADE ORE
J. c. Clancy'S improved Cya-
hide Method Is Touted to
Work Wonders.

new cyanide process. previously men,
toned In this department, and which
eliminates the roasting feature has beer
put forward by j. G. Clancy of Colorado
Springs and is destined in the opinion of
experts to revolutinize conditions in the
Cripple Creek district and other mining
camps in the west In brief, it is claimed
for the new process that il will effect a
saving of g d ton in the treatment of ore
of value of SO and less and from 81 to
80 ton in higher grade ore. A ratio of
from 81 to 80 per cent is recovered in gold
values, nor are refractory ores barred
! from treatment with the new process.
The secret of ClancY's process lies in
the fact that it eliminates tellurium,
which has been the bugabOO of ore treat
ment in the Cripple Creek camp. The
new process eliminates sulpho-tellurides
at minimum cost, and so impressed are
the big mining men of the district with
Clancy's claim that they are now backing
him, and several mills are in cOntempla-
ton of erection.
No less a corporation than the Portland
Gold Mining company is behind Clancy.
For several weeks the, company has been
secretly testing his process at its mill in
Colorado City and the test is said to have
passed the experimental stage to a point
where the company has virtually decided
to adopt his system at its mill. Presi-
dent Irving Howbert admitted tonight
that Clancy had called the cOmpany's at
tention TO a process that is receiving seri-
Gus consideration. but declined to go into
details, explaining that the company was
not yet ready to make public the details
of the process or its intentions with refer
ence to adopting it From other sources
it was learned that there is no longer any
doubt of its merit and that the Portland
company purposes to install it without
further delay at the Colorado City mill.
Clancy is native of England and has
operated in all the big mining camps of
the world. For years he was in the
Johannesburg district and is the inventor
of the Denny process. Later he went to
Australia and for several years has been
in this country making a study of Grip
pie Creek and Nevada ore. He has been
working on the Homestake and Los An
geles properties, and during the past sew
eral months has been quietly perfecting
his new process at the Portland mill in
Colorado City.

PERSONAL EQUATION
IN MINE SAMPLING

great deal has been written about
taking a sample in the process of exam
lining mine. says Mining Science OF
Denver. The accepted method is to chisel
a channel across the face to be sampled,
using a hammer and MOL as tools and
catching the sample either in a box or on
a canvas sheet. Such great emphasis has
been given this method that the courts
have given it legal recognition, and he
would be a foolish engineer who would
take samples in any other way-for court
work.
In all the discussions of sampling the
essence of the thing seems to have been
completely lost sight of in discussing
tools and methods, and the essence of
sampling is to take fair sample; sam
pie that accurately represents the face
sampled. Now the idea of channeling q
trench of uniform crOss-section across a
face of ore is in many cases ridiculous.
Consider such a face as is often found in
the breccia ore of Cripple Creek. 1t IS
obviously impossible to chisel a channel
of uniform cross-section across such a
rough face.
What really happens in sampling such
a face is that the sampler gets a series
of chunks and a mOdicum of fines. He
breaks the bigger chunks, putting the les
ser or larger part into the sample, accord
ing to his Judgment. He strikes a hard
stratum IL the vein and picks away at it
anywhere that he can get a bit, till his
judgment is satisfied or his patience ex-
hausted. He scrapes out fines from the
cracks in one case and throws away d
part of those that come voluntarily in
another case-again. doing this or that,
as his judgment dictates.
In brief the judgment of the sampler
is ninety per cent of the operation, and
the mechanical means employed ten per
cent. A fair-minded man, who is also
good judge of rock. can take a thoroughly
reliable sample with dull candlestick.

MINES AND MINING
SIGNAL PEAK
CUTS MAIN VEIN
Six Hundred-Foot Tunnel in
Seven Troughs Property
Finally Reaches Contact.

The IOng-expected goal, for which the
Signal Peak Mining company. operating
on its ground on the high divide between
Seven Troughs and Vernon, have been
striving since last September, has been
attained and the original contact vein of
the company has been reached through
the long tunnel 500 feet south of the shaft
where last summer body or high grade
shipping ore was exposed, believed to be
as promising as any in the camp.
The strike was made several days ago
and indications point irresistbly TO start
ling discoveries at a very early period
AT present the vein shows up about five
feet wide from the porphyry foot wall
to the black dyke hanging wall with the
values clear across and two feet OF eS-
pecially fine looking vein matter com
posed of quartz, quartz porphyry and tale
identical in appearance with the vein mat
ter in the shaft. There is enough fine
looking quartz In the vein to insure the
time. At present only two feet of the
vein described can be classed as milling
ore.
The vein was first encountered go feet
from the entrance of the tunnel and at a
depth of about 125 feet from the surface.
Altogether about 600 feet of work has
been done in the tunnel two veins have
been exposed and third vein known to
exist will soon be picked up. The latter
is all Ore-bearing body coming in from
the grounds of the Consolidated and par
alleling the original Signal Peak vein
about 400 feet to the east. 1t is believed
TO lie some 200 feet ahead of the farthest
advanced face in the tunnel The Con-
sOlidated people have already proved 1t TO
be very promising ore-bearing body so
that the Signal Peak company is looking
for important developments when ii is ell
countered some 400 or 500 feet below the
surface.
The cross fissure, which was penetrated
about 800 feet from the mouth of the tun-
nef is a great body of low grade values
measuring forty-five feet wide where the
tunnel crosses it. That il will make big
bodies of ore where it crosses the par
allel veins is confidently expected.

while man of poor judgment cannot be
relied upon to take dependable sample
with any means known to the profession
Furthermore, there is no method OF
sampling in which prejudice-which is the
opposite but in this case the counterpart
of fair-minded judgment-cannot manifest
itself. This is strikingly brought out in
the mining lawsuits. Two men will chan
mel across the same face and, to view the
channels, both look fair; yet, one viii
run high and the other low, according
to the desires of the sampler. Like many
another matter, the personal equation Is
the important matter Sampling is a
question of the man rather than the
method
