WORRIES IN M0T0RMAN'S LIFE
sunny Spots on His Run Develop
Thrills that Curl the
Hair,

Imagine yourself in charge of all the
stored-up power back Of a trolley car.
with your hand on the controller, pickinR
your way along the track in, the busiest
hour of the day. The tangle Of vehicles
and pedestrians opens up for a moment and
you let your car out for a sprint that will
help you pick up some of the lost min
utes. All at once and out of nowhere in
particular some hare-brained citizen makes
a dash across the rails in front Of you and
you come so close to his heels that you can
see the tail Of his coat flicker along the
upper part OF the fender. .
What you would want to do Is to stop
the car, get a good long breath OF relief
and thank Providence that you haven't
got a death to your credit, or discredit..
But there is no time for either regrets or
rejoicings. That is only one Of the many
happenings that make the hair of the cool
est and most careful motorman begin to
take on q shade of white after a few years
service. To the man at the front window
1t seems that everybody is bent on taking
a chance with him and his car. There is
always a tense little moment when the
car he Is handling sweeps down upon an
other standing at a crossing and discharg-
ing passengers. No matter how frenziedIy
he may keep the gong clamoring he never
knows at what minute some wayfarer is
going to step out from behind the sta
uonary car full in the middle OF the track.
He will hardly catch sight of him before
the fender will be touching him.
When the snow and ice, thaws and
freezes turn the long slopes of the city
streets into ideal coasting grounds and
every hill is covered with scores of young
sters and their sleds, every motorman on
the system begins to hope for a thaw.
Tracks are slippery, trolleys well-nigh I'M
manageable and the schedule all in pieces,
and as a climax to their worries, they can
never tell at what mfnut a racing sled,
with a little figure crouched tensely upon
IL Will dart out of a cross street and across
the tracks. They barely miss striking a
dozen daring boys on every trip when the
coasting is good. Frequently it is necessary
to stop the car while a long string Of coast
ers dart down the hill and across the car
tracks.
But the particular fear that the motor
man has always with him is that of strik-
ing a woman, either walking alone or
leading or carrying a child,
For the lie of me-" said a motorman
on the Hodiamont line a few lays ago,
Il can't tell what a woman will finally
do when she starts to cross the line as
far away as a block ahead of me. II there
are two OF them they may start to tell
each other good-by right I'm the middle of
the track. Or they may have a baby car
riage that invariably gets a wheel stuck
some way in the track as they attempt to
wheel them across ST. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat.

GOLDFIELD Will
Be A Smelling
PROPOSITION

Thomas d. Murphy, II of the pio-
neers of the Goldfeld district, who
also was active in the development of
the Butte and Anaconda, copper
camps, talking with a News repre-
sentative with relation to the increased
copper content in the Goldfeld ores,
said:
"The increased and increasing cop
per content il the Goldfeld ores means
that when all the ore shall have been
extracted from the upper workings OF
the Goldfeld mines, there will be a
radical change in milling operations.
This will come to be a smelling camp.
"Not that / am saying that the
present mills will be useless, for all
thew will have to do will be to cut out
their cyanide department, take up all
the gold possible on the amalgamation
plates, and send the concentrates, con-
tanning the balance of the gold content
and all the silver and copper of the
ores, to smelter. The smelter makes a
higher saving than any other KIND OF
reduction plant, and this increased ex'
traction from the ores, as well as the
saving in cyanide, would give the MIN
ing companies a greater return from
their ore than they get at present.
cooper fairly eats up cyanide, and
copper is not valuable enough to waste
cyanide on. 1t is poor economy to use
25 cent per pound cyanide to extract
10 cent per pound copper. OF course,
I may be a little p~rejudiced, but l am
a smelter man., by training, experience
and preference. / believe that the
smelter is the real reduction plant. why
is it that the assayer smelts his sam
pies. instead of putting them through
a process similar to that IN use II
the Goldfeld mills2 The smelter II
merely a big crucible corresponding s'
the ~assayer's crucible, and can MAKE
lust as close saving. When was tend
inp furnace in a smelter, if my stas
run as high as two-tenths per cent,
got a calling down.
81 believe that there will soon d.
a waking up, and that much OF TN
Goldfeld ore will be concentrated am
smelted, and cyanide practically aban
doned. And when this
comes, the mining companies Will &c
more money out of their ores.

CRIPPLE CREEKS
QUARTER OF A
Billion

COLORADO SPRINGS, Feb. THE
Cripple Greek district, during the year
1909 maintained its reputation as the
- worlds greatest gold mining camp
with a production of 1858 tons of a
gross bullion value of $i5,S50,113. This
brings the total production of the
camp, since its discovery in 1891, well
past the quarter of a billion dollar
mark. Compared to the production of
1908. as estimated by the state bureau
of mines, 1909 shows an increase of
$2,S1S,129. The average value of all
ores subjected to treatment vas $2l.46.
During the year dividends of rec
ord amounting to 81, 100,531 were paid
by II companies, as against nine In
1905. In addition to dividends of rec
ord. profits of the close corporations
were between 100000 and $4,000,
while the profits of the leasing com
panies approximate $i,0OO,OOo. Be-
tween 1920 and $500 miners were con-
tinuously employed, the payroll for the
year being 100000.
The main features of the year were
the extension of leasing operations, the
steady progress of the deep drainage
Tunnel. rich strikes on the lower levels
indicating future possibilities of deep
mining, and the discovery and adoption
of methods for the treatment of low
grade ores, with the consequent IN
crease in the activity of mills within
the district.
The solution of the low grade treat
ment may almost be spoken OF as an
accomplishment of the year 1908, three
of the biggest producers, the Stratton s
independence, Limited. The Portland
and the Golden Cycle taking the lead
in perfecting methods. As . result mil
lions of tons of ore heretofore consld-
cred of too low a value now lying on
the dumps and in abandoned workings,
will be converted into gold.
The drainage tunnel will be complet'
ed within the year, according to pres
emf indications. 1t will drain the camp
at a depth of 700 feet below the pres
emit water level, and competent mining
men are of the opinion that this big
bore will prolong the life of the camp
many years, and add tens OF millions
of dollars to the worlds gold supply.

FOUND DIAMONDS
AND GOLD

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Gold and
diamonds have been discovered in
Liberia, about 20 miles from the coast
according to a report to this govern
ment by Charge d'Affaires George w,
Ellis of Monrovia. In his report the
charge says
"The %discoverer called at this con
sulate general with a quantity of the
metal which he bad obtained near the
settlements, together with photographs
showing himself and the natives at
work. He also had a diamond in
the rough, found in the same sec
ton
"The ~discoverer has been engaged
for the last few months in gold wash
ing in Motserrado county, about so
miles from Monrovia. The gold has
been recovered from the beds of small
streams, although the discoverer has
located the metal in the larger streams.
In Is days, at a cost of about SIS, he
Secured $3.50 worth of gold, according
to his submitted statement, and with
skilled labor and up-to-date apparatus
the product could be greatly increased.
There would seem to be just now an
opportunity for American capital to
enter this phase of development of
Liberia and this action should not be
delayed, as Europeans are working hard
to get all mining rights of the re-
public"

SPRINGS
IN HIGH GRADE

George w. Dean of Cactus Springs
has just brought in some ore from the
Davenport Extension group, to the east
and south of camp some six miles. that
looks like the real goods. Assays OF
Ellsworth & Stevenson show values
ranging from $133 to 1907, the values
held in gold and copper and a little
silver.
The ore was taken from a 1O-lnch
win, at a depth of 10 to IL feet. 1t IS
a silieifed dacite, slightly oxidized, and
much resembles the surface rock in the
Goldfeld district. Mr.. Dean has five
claims in the Davenport Extension
group, and the vein from which he has
taken the rich ore was discovered while
he was doing his annual work, starting
on a small outcrop and following 1t
downward.
Annual work is now in progress on a
number of properties surrounding the
Davenport Extension, and on the claims
to the south of the above named group
some fair values and promising ledge
matter has been taken out. Most OF
the annual work is being done in likely
spots, instead of picking the places
where the digging is the softest, as i;
the usual custom.

COLE-RYAN INTERESTS ARE
AFTER PIOCHE PROPERTIES

it would not be improbable if his in
terests became more closely allied
with that of the International Smelt-
ing and Refining company. This would
take with it the ores from the Ohio
Copper and the contract for the Sill
yer King ores in Park City, which
are now diverted to the American
Smelling and Refining company.
On account of a deal which is now
on for the Western Utah Copper conf
pany mine in the Deep Creek district,
work has been stopped there for some
time. Heinze is one of the chief in
~terests in this company and as 1T is
believed the deal has a great chance
of being carried out it was not believ-
ed to the best advantage of the com
pany to continue development work.
The Cole-Ryan people are now
among the heaviest interests in Ely,
and there has been considerable talk
of a big consolidation there. The ak
act scope of the big deals that are
now on are hard to contemplate.
There is plenty of reason to believe
that a large corporation is reaching
out to consolidate some of the largest
and best properties in Utah and
Nevada, or to secure ore contracts
which will make the International
smelter one of the largest things of
the kind in the west.
The smelter is being built with a
small capacity, but this will undoubt-
edly be increased within a few
months after it starts next July.

PIOCHE, Feb. 4.-According to a
