mass of the immense beds, re-
quiring the eradication of large
volume of waste rock at the first
jogging operation, the Foust jigs
seem to be the proper process to
accomplish this feature, as well
as the fact that by the automat-'
ic ore draw off, it keeps the beds
on the jigs at an even and regu-
lar depth, which insures a bet
ter product.
The owners of the Omaha
Petersburg Mining Company
were inspecting their property
during the past week, and found
the conditions so favorable that
they devoted several days to the
inspection of plans and details
connected with the proposed
large mill, which they expect to
build on the property the first Of
the year. Many new ideas will
be introduced into this new mill
ing plant, looking particularly
to the saving of the fine sludge
ores, which are now being wasted
in the mills now operating in
the southwestern district. A
system of recrushing and an ex-
tensive system of classifiers and
settling tanks will be an import.
ant part of the new method.
Sizing the ores so that each table
will receive only such size as
it is designed for, thus giving it
an opportunity to do its work
we'll. This new installation is
receiving more thought and in-l
vestigation than is commonly
given to this most important
part of the saving of the fine
ores, which is being lost to most
of the mills in the district. 1t
certainly suggests the feeling
that good results should be OBJ
tanned from such an installation,
and this property will carry the
center of attention until dem
onstration has been made of the
workings of the ideas installed.

erty under lease. This only
proves the judgement of some
of the pioneers in the field that
good mines would be opened up
to the northwest of the present
camps.
The Good Luck is still keeping
up its place of leading the camp
for the richness of its ores, as
we'll as the oheapness of its pro-
duction. From what it demon
strates the development must
have opened up a Jack Bin" as
the small mill is turning out as
high as a ton an hour of zinc
concentrates which assay better
than 60 per cent metallic zinc.
Being absolutely free from any
lead and carrying a minimum of
iron, it commands the top of the
market.
1t is rumored that the Quivera
Lead and Zinc Company, has
disposed of its property and that
this valuable property will be
put into operation Immediately
after the first of the new year.
This is certainly good news for
the camp, as this property has
been tied up in litigation for
long time, and we understand
that by the efforts of some of our
local men the property has been
put in condition for operation.
This property is one of the first
to be developed in the camp, and
immense bodies of high grade
ores were demonstrated by many
drill holes, but about the time
the mill was completed litigation
tied it up and now is the first
time it has been free to push its
rich deposits.
Another good producer has
been added to the list of produc-
ing mills during the past week,
being the $50 ton mill of the
Heap 'Brien Mining Company.
This property has been system
atically opened up by Mr.. Reg
inald Heap, who came into this
district directly from his gradua-
ton from the Michigan School
Of Mines, at Haughton, Michi-
gan, and it is refreshing to see a
young man buckle right down to
apply his technical knowledge
and make a success of his first
effort. This Mr.. Heap has ac-
complished and it has been great
ly due to his own individual en-
ergy and application. 1t is true
that he selected a most valuable
piece of property which is resi-
ponding so well to his labors,
but this might have been abaud-
oued had it had q less able and
energetic developer.
Work at the Big Mission Mill
is progressing we'll and while the
rough weather of the past week
delayed matters some, still the
management is confident of get
ting the property under full head
way during the early part of Jam
uary at latest. Attention of all
the operators is pow attracted to
the starting up of this mill. A
thorough test Of the big Foust
Automatic Jigs" will be given
on the sheet ground Of the south
camp, and with a successful test,
which is felt will be the result,
the jigs will be put into the pres
eut mills quite generally, "a this I
will solve one of the problems in !
this hard ground district, where
