ANIMAS PEAK N<NES
ARE BEING DEVELOPED
Water Has Been Pumped From Snake
Shaft, Which Is Being Refimbered;
Notes Over the District

HilsborO. n. M, May 2S-There is a
revival of mining interests in the Ami
mas district, north of Hillsboro, Sierra
county, in the southern portion Of the
Black Range, work having commenced
at the Statehood mine. The Snake mine
has been unwatered and is being retim-
bered and new raise will connect the
300 level with the 425 level. New open
ings along the vein south of the main
shaft show good ore bodies. The Op-
Portunity mine will be unwatered and
the 30stamp mill will be started I'D in
60 days.
The Ameranza Gold Mining company
has leased the Bonanza vein and is
operating the old stamp mill, running
through 400 tons Of ore extracted from
the Bonanza vein. Hiltscher Brothers
operating mine on the southwest slope
OF Animas peak have sunk shaft $50
feet, and drifted $50 feet into a deposit
Of native copper. An engine and air
compressor have been purchased
The Sigma Construction and Develop
ment company is sinking a new two
compartment shaft on the south slope
OF the Animas peak, which is down
800 feet At 355 feet a vein of gold
and copper ore was encOun tered
The Vanadium Queen company has
uncovered deposits of high grade vana-
dunn ore.

Colorado Springs, and were purchased
on the recommendation of Mr.. jerks.
They cover an area of 55 acres of pat

2200 feet of tunnels. The ore carries
lead. copper, gold and silver and Will

critics are only y miles over a good
road from the nearest Hallway station.

TIN FIND REPORTED
IN SAN ANDRES RANGE
Simple Tests for Proving the
Metal Discovered in Mt.
Franklin.

The discovery of tin IN Mount Frank
lin suggests the idea that the metal
may exist in GRANTEES not only in other
portions of this mountain, but in the
GRANTEES of the Organs and San An
dres, in New Mexico, the latter being
combinations of the same great uplift-
Y prospector in the latter range re-
ports having found cassiterite in seams
in the GRANTEES about 100 miles north of
FL Paso.
Liquid Test for Tin.
F. I. Hess, of the United States geo
logical survey. gives the following test
( which for its simplicity deserves to be
widely known:
A piece of the suspected mineral is
treated with zinc and dilute hydro
chloric or sulphuric acid, preferably the
former, when, if tin oxide, a coating OF
metallic tin soon appears on the frag-
ment, some Of the hydrogen gas, given
off by the action of the acid on the
zinc, unites with the oxygen of the tin
ore, to form water, leaving metallic tin
on the surface of the specimen The
mineral and the zinc should be in close
contact, consequently granulated zinc
is recommended, though zinc shavings
also work we'll. No heat is required.
After putting some zinc under and
around the fragment, a little water may
be added and then enough hydro-chloric
acid to cause a vigorous action. In
few minutes the liquid can be poured
off and the mineral washed in water,
when if cassitertte or tin oxide is pres
erit, a grayiSh metallic coating will be
seen. which by rubbing on the hand or
v 18th soft cloth. soon becomes bright.
Care must be taken TO have an excess
of zinc present, or to pour off the
LIQUID before all the zinc is dissolved,
otherwise the acid, if in excess after
the zinc is al in solution, will in
course of time dissolve the coating Of
tin.
Supposed tin minerals are often test
ed on charcoal with a blow pipe, but
the chemical action Is simpler. Tin ore
alone is infusible before the blow pipe
and is proof against all acids, hydrogen
being the active agent in the test just
described.
The Roasting Test
Professor Arthur Lakes says that tin
may also be detected by grinding, mix
ing with sodium carbonate and roast
ing on charcoal Small globules of
white metal are given off which are
harder than silver which they resem-
BILE. In nitric acid they are oxidized
to an insOluable white powder.
How Tin Ore Looks.
Tin. when found in veins, is gener
ally in fair sized crystals, like gar
nets, or in grains disseminated through
the rock. 1t may also occur massive
or in corrections with rounded botry-
Oidal Cor like a cluster of grapes) or
renifOrm (kidney shape) surfaces of a
filerous structure called wood tin"
Crystals of tin occur as square prisms
and pyramids, often in twins.

At the mass netting on Wednesday

of all persons interested in the Far
mers' institutes to be held in Knox

was easily disposed of as the speakers
heretofore employed, have been en-

ommended. The state board of agri-
culture provides that each county
may have four institutes each year
at four different places. The names
of seven places in Knox county were
suggested at this meeting. They were
as follows: Mt. Vernon, Danville,
Esto, Bladensburg, Centerburg, Bran
don and Fredericktown. The state
board of agriculture will decide which
of these towns shall hold the insti-
tutes and report the decision probably
between the 18th and Goth of October.
Although the dates have not been ex-
actly set for the holding of the lnsti-
tutes, they will be held during Janu-
ary and February.

left standing open and gust of wind
flew out the fire. The gas continued
to escape until the room was well fill

things to say of the Republican party

The address of Mr.. Harding was
along the lines of his opening speech

sustained his reputation as a good
speaker. His address, however, on
Tuesday afternoon, was lacking in the

the impression that he felt that he was
making a losing fight and had no
heart in the canvass he was making.
A part of his address was along phil
osophical lines, and this feature was
the same as delivered at Frederick
town on Labor Day, and is part OF
the address he uses in his Chautau-
qua lectures.
