success. The first shipment to Omaha
consisted of ninety-five tons Of copper

ore. The capacity Of the plant Is 200
tons Of raw ore her day. and the ratio
of concentration into matte is fourteen
to one.

The output of the Vindicator COM

July totaled 5000 tons. with a gross
bullion value Of approximately $103.-
$50 OF this the No. 1, or main shaft,
produced 1000 tons of the high aver
age value of $42.5O per ton. The
bulk of this high grade ore was
mined from the 1900 and 1,400-foot
levels, the deepest workings of the
mine. Shafts Nos. 2 and 6, operated
by lessees, produced 900 tons. with an
average value of $50 per ton. and the
Hull City shaft, operated both on
company account and by lessees, pro-
duced 1000 tons of $50 grade.

Cleveland parties.
The vein on the 900 west level Of
the Socorro mines has widened to

which, at depth of 1,400 feet pro-
duced a flow of oil that covered up all
the machinery.
Deposits of sodium carbonate (sal
soda) are worked commercially at
Green River, where alkaline waters
are pumped from deep wells and their
mineral content is concentrated and
solidified by evaporation.
The Rambler mine is being supplied
with a new water main which will
supply ample water for the mill. But
for the shortage Of water the mill
would produce about five tons Of cop
per concentrates per day; otherwise
