The Neglect of Detail.

In referring to causes leading to the success or failure of mining ventures, The Mining Review has, from time to time, commented upon the subject of Mine Management" and on the re- suits following the employment of competent or incompetent superintend- ents. We have said that no mine, however good, could stand mismanage- ment for any length of time and con. tinue to make profit for owners or shareholders. In the. development of prospect good management is espec- ially essential, as it is more difficult to obtain money for the development and operation of a prospective producer than it is for the handling of proper ty of known merit and value. In the development of a prospect, a good manager will pay particular attention to the little details of operation-and
 they are many. It is an old saying that "Wilful Waste Makes Woeful Want" This applies to mining as we'll as to other occupations. and the careful superintendent and shift boss will pay as much attention to the eco nomical use of powder, fuse, candles and other mine supplies as he will to the way the men put in their time; and this later item, by the way, is a feature of mining operation that is often abused to such an extent that, as one mining man recently remarked, "a miner who soldiers in the mine should
 be arrested for petty larceny, as a theft of time is a theft of money" The miner who wastes an hour of his employers time every shift, and some times he is compelled to do so through

New Ore Bodies Found in the Clara
 Consolidated

A Swansea dispatch says: Several rich strikes of commercial copper have just been made by the Clara Consoli- dated Gold and Copper Mining con- pany, additional ore bodies opened and many millions of tons of copper ore blocked.
 The most important of these strikes were in Nos. and churn drill holes. Ore was encountered in both cases at a depth of 3SO feet, and continued to a depth of 496 feet, showing a body of ore passed through of ll0 feet. Assays of the ore taken out by the drills ran from per cent to l3 per cent. No. : drill could not be driven deeper on ac- count of the collapsing of the casing but the drill was in ore when drilling was suspended.
 This gives the Clara tremendous ore reserves. Systematic exploring and blocking of ore bodies is being prose- cuted by the churn drills and the Clara Consolidated mines bid fair to become ore of the largest copper mines in Ari- zona. A depth of about 568 feet has already been attained on the ore body. It shows a tonnage far in excess of the conservative estimate of bhe manage ment of 1000, 900 tons. The drills in several instances passed through an ore body 225 feet wide.
 The company expects to be in con- tinuous operation immediately upon the completion of its big water power plant within the next twenty or thirty days. The smelting plant at the pres ent time on account of lack of pumping facilities to supply water enough, has only been running occasionally.
 On account of the promising large tonnage of custom ores available the Clara is installing its own sampling works for the economic handling of all custom ores. The recent strikes of the Clara are of the utmost importance on account of the high grade of the pyrite, which ran from 6 1-2 to ' 1-2, the general value of the ores in that district heretofore running around B. per cent. In addition to its copper, the bullion returns show good gold and silver values.

force of circumstances, may think that it amounts to but little; but, in eIght days this amounts to a shift, for which he is paid at the rate of from 2.5OS to 3.25S day, and for which no recom- pense to the mine owner is made in any manner whatever. With a force of a dozen or twenty five men at work in a mine, waste of time and loss of money means much in the course of three or six months; and because of this loss, more than one mine in this inermOuntain country has been forced to close down for the reason that the funds available at the start of opera tions have been found insufficient to accomplish results anticipated; and yet the work may have been intelligently and ably directed and performed in a workmanlike manner.
 We have known of a force of men who have been compelled to suspend operations for an hour or more because short length of ladder had not been supplied when it should have been. Lack of system in providing supplies has often kept many men in mine in enforced idleness for half shift. In the operation of machinery the failure to keep duplicate parts on hand, whose use may be hourly expected, is an- other source of loss of both time and money, and minor detail is so often overlooked that frequently the whole force of mine is unable to perform good and satisfactory work for a day or two.
 This lack of attention to detail has a most important bearing on the success ful operation of mining proposition, and cases are numerous in this western country where an apparently legiti- mate enterprise and promising mining venture lags along for weary months, but which, long ago. would have reached a sound footing and a paying basis but for this one thing of lack of attention to detail in every department of operation.-Salt Lake Mining Re view.

The Giroux Consolidated.

At the Giroux Consolidated they are still working on the completion of the pumping station at the l,200 foot point of the Accompaniment shaft. All the sides have been reinforced with concrete, and there remains but the dome to finish. With this work done there remains but the installation of the two big pumps before the cutting of the crosscut into the rich body of ore begins, and it can be confidently stated that before the first of the year the Giroux. will be in the shipping class.
 It is yet moot question as to the transportation of the ore of the Giroux but there is no question as to it's desti- nation. The direct smelting ore of the Alpha shaft, which is to be worked through the five-compartment Giroux shaft, will be shipped to the Tooele shelter of the International Smelling & Refining companN owned and con- trolled by the Cole-Ryan syndicate There has been story current that the Clark road was to run branch into Ely through the Deep Creek country to transport the ore direct to the smell ter, and while the report has not been affirmed by Senator Clark, he says that negotiations have been under way looking to that end.
 On the other hand gossip has it that arrangements have been already made with the Nevada Northern road to handle the ore by way of the Western Pacific into Salt Lake. As far as this is concerned it is only matter of cost and profit to the railroad as well as to the Giroux mine. The ore is going to the shelter by the cheapest route, and there Is one thing certain-shipments are to be made, and the first of the year will see the Giroux Consolidated in the class of producers.-Ely, Ne vada, News.

rintic Merger Rumored.

"Every once in a while," says the Salt Lake Tribune. ''reports become circulated to the effect that big mer- ger of Tintic mines is about to take place. One such rumor was abroad on Saturday, and the Victoria was one of the properties contemplated by this fresh report. The account goes, but with what foundation is not now known, that the Victoria. Grand Gen. tral and one other big Tintic mine, are to be consolidated. This other big mine is the mysterious missing link, but conjecture has selected the Gen. tennial Eureka, as the Hkeliest prop erty, which brings the United States Smelling, Refining & Mining com pany into the game.
 "There is no doubt of the merits of the Grand Central and Victoria. Re cent development work has been cen tered on making each mine present the most ideal showing of their hon. orable history, and they are now in shape for production of a magnitude heretofore impossible. The Centen- nial-Eureka, likewise. continues to maintain its prestige as the greatest mine of the camp, and there is no end in sight for its large monthly produc- tion, while the equipment now being added to reach into the depth beyond the oxidized zone soon should be prov ing the mine larger at the bottom than it has been at the top.
 "The reported combining of these three great mines will be watched for developments with the keenest in- terest. ."-Salt Lake Mining Review.

The Monarch company will build a first class modern shelter on its prop critics near Wickenburg this fall. The contract for the machinery has been awarded to the United States Sulphide Shelter Furnace company of Toledo, Ohio, the construction work to be done at Fl Paso. The contracting company will install and start up the shelter. This news is official, having been con- veyed to General Manager c. W. Platt in letter from the secretary of the Monarch company a few days since. The new shelter is to have a capacity of 100 tons per day at the start, but 1t will be enlarged from time to time as the needs of the Monarch and neigh boring mines require, it being the pur- pose to do custom work and thus to aid in the development of the mining properties of that particular region.- Wickenburg Miner.

Lake Mines to be UnIonized.

A Butte, Mont, dispatch says: It looks as if the western federation of miners proposes to wage war on the properties in the Lake Superior dis trict, the object being to compel the mining companies of Michigan to pay the same wages as paid by the Amal- gamated company in this district. A few weeks ago the story was given out that the Western Federation in ordering that an assessment of days wages be levied on every miner within the organization was for the purpose of fighting the Amalgamated, report which caused much surprise and com ment in view of the fact that every thing is peace and harmony between the miners and the big concern operat- ing in this district.
 However, the whole matter has been set at rest by the return of the dele gates who declare that the assessment is for the purpose of organizing the Lake Superior district and requiring that the Calumet & Hecla and other companies pay the same wages as the Amalgamated, and thus place the big companies of the Lake district and the big companies of this district on the same footing in the competition of the production of ore.
 EErNhn TolVpnnF g. Hnala an6 nf hnn n companies in the Lake Superior dis trict at preeent enjoy an unfair advan- tage over the Amalgamated and other companies in this camp" said one of the delegates in explaining the posi- tion of the miners convention, land we propose to organize the Lake country and thus remedy this discrim- ination against Butte. For instance, all the work in Michigan is done by contract and the miner must buy his own tools, powder and other supplies at the company store. Once in a while the miner may make living wages but often he comes out in debt under the Michigan system. The company stands DO loss.
 "On the other hand look at the con- dition in this district: The Amalga- mated pays from 3.5OS to 4s day ac- cording to the price of copper and it makes no difference to the miner whether there is ore or not. If rock is drilled through without results, why the Amalgamated stands the loss. When we unionize the Lake district, contract work will be done away with and the men will not have to patronize the company stores. Under our juris- diction the Michigan miners will be benefited financially and every other way.

weighed 2,5l6 ounces and was valued at over 9,5S2e. Within 10 years gold to the enormous value of 96,000, ,000e had been brought to England from the two new colonies of Victoria and New South Wales.
 Two years ago one of the discoverers of the famous Kalgoorlie gold field in Western Australia, passed away in the person of an Irishman named Daniel Shea. He and a compatriot named Hannah, while prospecting for gold, camped on the site of Kalgoorlie when it was wilderness. Hannah, ID searching for a horse, kicked up a nugget of gold. The news spread, a rush set in, and the wealth of the place soon became apparent. Hannah and Shea, as the pioneers, were awarded pensions of 1OOe a year-not a great sum when one considers that the an- nual output of the Kalgoorlie gold field is between 2,OOO, ,OOOe and 3,OOO,OOOe.
 There are, however, no gold mines so rich as those of the Transvaal. Since l884-the year the worlds greatest gold field, Witwatersrand, was discov- cred, until June, 1908, the total value of the gold production of the Trans vaal amounted to no less than 2lI,- 535, ,995e. It was prospector named Arnold who first discovered that gold lay among the bare and lonely hills of Witwatersrand. In this case there was no great rush, for the simple reason that there was no chance for the miner without capital. The Rand's pre-eminence among gold fields is not due to the exceeding richness of its deposits, for in their percentage of the yellow metal they do not compare with the mines of California, for instances. But while its ores are of low grade, they are found in much more exten- sive bodies than those of any other field, much machinery and many work CTS being required to unearth the gold.
 There are still more chances, how ever, for prospectors like Croesus, the first real rich man known to fame, who is said to have discovered little gold mine of his own, to find one for themselves: for according to author ities, the world contains several un- worked gold fields quite as rich as any yet discovered. Parts of Sibe- ria are alledged to be richer in gold than the Klondike, while Sir Martin Conway said some time ago along the eastern slope of the Andes ran many rivers rich in gold.
 Perhaps, however, in these days of oil booms it would be more profitable to search for oil rather than gold For, after all, it must be borne in mind that it was oil, and not gold, which made the worlds richest man-John D. Rockefeller, master of many mil lions.-Tit-Bits

The Table Mountain Consolidated Mining Company has completed ar engagements to extensively work and mine a large portion of the gravel channel, situated few miles west of Columbia, near Parrott's Ferry, Gala versa county. Negotiations have been quietly progressing for several weeks, and active operation of the property will be commenced under the manage ment of J. B. Allen, a well known resi- dent of Calaveras county. The hold ings of the company comprise 1S0 acres of land, partly patented, that embrace nearly one mile of channel under Table Mountain and is all vir- gin ground.-Sonora Times.

W. A. Bondurant of Chicago, owner of the Philes group of gold mines and claims in the Cave creek district, twenty-five miles north of Phoenix, will soon begin the construction of a ten-stamp mill. Since acquiring these properties MT. Bondurant has been working the ores with 1-2 foot Huntington mill. Under present conditions in the mine two men can break down ore fast enough to keep a ten stamp mill at work.

The contest will be conducted as
such contests generally are. Every
farmer in Sumter county is invited to
enter for the prizes. Judges will be
appointed who, at the harvesting time,
will call at the plantations where corn
has been grown for the contest and
supervise the gathering of the crop
on the acre set aside for the test.
Witnesses will be on hand to substan-
tiate the statements that are made as
to the yield. The heaviest yields get
the prizes.
In return the planters winning the
prizes are expected to give the public
generally the benefit of the system
used by them in cultivating the crop,
the quantity of fertilizers used on the
acre in question, etc.
Mr.. j. W. Hightower took the mat
ter up yesterday and made a personal
canvass. The result was that inside of
two or three hours the entire amount
needed in cash, $175, had been sub
