imperative that special devices be pro-
vided to destroy the gases before they
can escape 10 the outer air. One Of
the most successful OF these devices
IS the playhouse, a structure OF steel
lines closely throughout its entire
area with burlap bags or similar ma
terials. This catches much OF the
sulphur. arsenic and other minerals
and rObs the gases Of their death
dealing properties. The effect Of the
escaping fumes from the furnaces is
often noted around a smelter by the
fact that the hair, mustaches and
boards of the men who have spent
many years around the plants take on
a greenish tinge.
In numerous instances, particularly
in the copper fields OF Nevada and
Utah, II has been found necessary TO
concentrate the ore before sending it
to the smelter. In this case il is re-
duced in a succession OF specially de-
signed crushing mills, rolls and other
machinery until very fine, after which

gan. Utah, Nevada and California are
the great copper states and produce
most Of the copper mined in America.
In Europe the great Rio TintO mines
OF Spain, which have been worked for
centuries. and We're old when Column
bus sailed for the new world, still hold
premier rank
The process of mining copper varies
greatly in the different districts in
which the mines occur. In Michigan,
the pioneer copper section of the
United States, mining is mostly car
ried on by means of mammoth shafts,
some of which, like the famous Red
Jacket shaft of the Calumet-Hecla,
have been sunk TO a vertical depth OF
1000 feet. This means of mining IS
also generally used in the great pro-
ducers OF Montana and Arizona With
in the past few years wonderful de-
posts OF copper in Nevada and Utah
are mined by the open-eut method.
and the metal removed in enormous
quantities by steam shOvels. AS the
tendency of the age is towards the
production of copper by the cheapest
possible practices. the Open-cut meth
cd. or glory hole mining, as IL is tech
nically termed, is the most modern
version and commands paramount at
tention

In this method the immense forma-

which are hauled by locomotives To
the mammoth ore bin. The shOvels
handle thousands of tons Of ore every
hour, and each of the mammoth steam
diggers viii load a standard railroad
car in a few moments. The shOVels
weigh from 40 To so tons apiece. and

each Of the mammoth machines will
perform the work of a hundred or
more men. When the ore is too hard
10 be easily dug out by the shOvels,
drills are employed to run holes into
the rock and the mass IOOsened by eX-
plOding heavy charges of dynamite
This shakes up the ore and enables the
shOyels TO handle il easily. The walls
of the steam shovel pit are kept nearly
perpendicular, so as to prevent cav
ing. As the width of the pit increases
ana additional depth is attained, new
lines of track are put in 10 facilitate
the work. The tracks are so arranged
that the passing trains Of loaded cars
complete the circuit of the pit and
transfers their loads To the ore bins
with automatic precision.
Ground Il Explored.
Before actual mining is commenced
on any of the copper properties the
ground for thousands Of feet below the
surface is explored by means of dia-
mOnd drills. These drills are operated
10y means OF steam, electricity or other
motive power, and by means of black
diamonds. termed carbons or bort,
bCres into the solid rock for an indeh-
mite distance. The center Of the drill
is hollow and takes up the rock
through which il passes. Every time
the drill is Withdrawn from the hole
the contents of the hollow interior,
known as the core, is removed and as
sayed. This gives an accurate record
Of every foot of ground traVersed. and
the management of the company
knows exactly the depth and character
of the ore body its distance from the
surface, and the kind Of rock everything
and underlying the ore bodies, where
water is found and thousand other
important matters. BY drilling a
number Of these holes the width of the
ore body is determined cOnclusively.
Hence, before a shaft is sunk, tun-
mel driven or an open cut made the
manager knows what lies under the
surface. and what will be found when
the active workings reach that point

SAYS JARBIDGE IS TO
DEVELOP INTO BIG CAMP

ore samples coming from the district
confirm the first reports that it is a
tellurium country. Five properties
have opened up veins that are about
four feet wide with ores worth from
% to $500 per ton at the surface. These
can be sorted to ship a grade of 800
ore and leave a concentrating grade Of
SIS per ton average. Values are % per
cent in gold and 40 per cent silver, and
while oxidized sufficiently at the sur
face to pan quite freely, a little depth
on the veins discloses sulphide condi-
tons that do miners hearts good. Until
the last week the camp was consider
ed to be only two miles wide and five
miles long. G.. ii. Henry, however, who
came into Twin Falls yesterday, brought
news of two strikes additional (making
six specially good prospects), one being
five miles south of the original town
site, and the other seven miles east
thereof. In these strikes the ores are of
identically the same general character,
bikes which break through lime and
porphyry contacts is much larger
than was at first believed the eoun-
try would develop. Samples from these
strikes are equally as rich as sam
plies from the original discoveries, AMI
have electrified Everybody in this city
and the surrounding towns, as well rs
vastly increased the excitement
of the miners in the camp.
The chance for investors picking mp
properties is going to be good, and in
instances very few failures are
anticipated, because a %prospector is
going to have something or moth
ing. Only alongside the rhyolite dikes
do gold indications exist, all the other
country refusing to show indications of
values. Prospecting of the district IS
proceeding therefore with greater than
any success heretofore chronicled in Il
new district, and the circumstances m
which the ores occur, together with
the ability of all the prospects to ship
grades from the commencement,
combine to make Jarbidge the ideal
'.poor mans camp. 1t being in a
timber reserve, parties coming into en-
gage in business should communicate
with the forest service chief at Elko,
Nevada, previously, and secure a per
for erecting their building and to
cut timber therefor. Later, after the
snow departs, the camp may be entered
from the south, via Elko.

PROPERTY
WILL BE DEVELOPED

WINNEMUCCA, Jan. 19.-The tung
stem deposits neal Browns station, just
south Of Lovelock, on which is held an
option by the Alfalfa Mining company,
is to undergo extensive development,
and work to this END has already been
started, says the Lovelock Review.
Lea r. Fulcher, representing the
Alfalfa company, came up from Cali
fornia last week and spent several days
looking over the property. While in
Loveiock, Mr.. Fuleher bought a camp
outfit and supplies which were ship
ped to the mines near Brown s station.
In speaking of his future plans, Mr.
Fulcher said:
eve have sent in ample supplies to
last several weeks and we intend to
commence work just as soon as a few
preliminaries can be arranged. A crew
of FIVE men will be employed at pres
tnt, but later on if conditions justify
the forces will be materially increased.
THE company owns a group of very
promising claims on which some very
fine specimens of sc/elite has been
found. The surface indications are
exceptionally good and if a CORE
spending condition can be found with
further development it is more than
likely a big proposition will be opened
up. In order to thoroughly open up the
property a shaft will be sunk to con
siderable depth and from the lower
point crosscuts and drifts will be run
to prospect the ground and open up the
mine on a broad scale
The property which is to undergo de
v%elopment is well known to the mining
fraternity of this section. 1t was locat-
ed by Messrs. Peter and Andy Ander-
son some eighteen months ago. Little
or no work, excepting surface prospect
ing, has been done, but the showing is
remarkably good. The ore is in the
form of schelite and while the general
average at the surface shows a low per
centage, some of the ore carries excp-
~tionally high values, and it is believed
something sensational will be opened up
with the proper development.
