BRACE NAVIGATION
WILL OPEN UP MINING

GRANGEVILLE, Idaho. Sept. %.
The rich mining properties on the
upper Salmon river will be opened
through the agency of barge naviga-
ton from Salmon City, according to
J. r. Palmer, manager of the Sal
mon River Gold Mining company.
A large section of the upper river
is entirely isolated from transpor-
tation and a number of rich proper
ties have remained practically idle
because of the difficulty in trans
porting supplies and equipment.
The solution to the situation was
offered by the building of the Gil
moer G Pittsburg railroad into Sal
mon City and the barge navigatid
of the Salmon river by engineering
parties in the employ of the rail-
road company.
A number of the big properties
on the Salmon river will be opened
on a large scale in the near future.

OIL INDICATIONS IN
NEVADA GOLD FIELD

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Sept. %.
Stewart Springs, nine miles west
of the new gold camp of Athens, Ne
vada, Is attracting old land locators
in large numbers. Nearly every pros
pector and miner in Athens and Juni-
per camps has made locations in the
new oil field, it is said, and visions
of becoming oil or gas magnates in
short order are entertained by all Of
them.
Oil shales and fossils have been
found in a belt Of country 25 miles
long, northerly and southerly, and
about Is miles wide. The shale ig-
mites and burns freely emitting blue
flame. It Is a close-grained rock, al
most pure black. Persons familiar
with oil indications are positive in
their belief that the new field will
become a producer of both oil and
gas.
The field, Judging from surface in
dications, is well worth testing. Own
ers of claims are soliciting the aid
and cooperation of oil rig owners
with the view Of prospecting their
ground.

VALUES OF LARGE ORE BODIES
In THE CARBONATE MINES

"
In THE Carbonate MINES
A thorough system Of sampling
the ores in the 100 foot and zoo foot
workings In the Iron Hill by the
corporations assayer, DR.. Roos has
disclosed certainly the greatest sur
prise In property ever known in
this district.
The system of testing and samp-
ling the ore values must have been
Of very crude nature, when this
property was worked, and from the
fact OF its being filled with water,
the present owners had no idea AT
all Of what was in the mine develop
ed, or 1t would certainly have been
today large producer than any
mine in the Hills.
To the 200 foot level DR.. Roos has
paid the most attention, sampling
and resampling and tracing leaders
and finding out the different stratas
that carry the values. The follow
ing assays taken from thirteen diff
ferent stringers and leads that have
ton in gold, silver and lead. Some
idea Of the values that must be
shortly disclosed by fouowing them
in systematic manner, $106.SO,
$685.; s9s,00; $500, $71.60;
s63.6O; $500; $500; $35.4O;
$3.50; $27.1o; $42.so; $34.OO a
ton in Gold, silver and lead. Some
Of these leads can be traced plainly
80 to so feet in length.
On the same 200 foot level the
following assays taken on the main
ore bodies, some Of these being 10
to 80 feet long, but most Of these
are taken over to feet wide.
$3.50; $26.45; 1880: $780,;
s171O; $500; s1O.7O; $10.5O;
$3.50; $500 ton in gold silver and
lead. On the 100 foot level the fol-
lowing assays taken under similar
widths $4,000; $36.S0; $780,;
$500; $3.50; $3.50; $3.50 a ton.
With such values over such big
width with very small amount Of
cross cutting to prove the depth and
length Of these bodies, a mill could
be erected to treat a very large daily
tonnage OF a grade that would far
exceed anything in the Hills.
A new sinking pump will arrive on
the ground this week when the wa
ter will be then taken out from the
$50 and 800 foot levels quickly
where no doubt by the accounts Of
the miners that worked in 1t that
very much larger and richer bodies
bodies OF ore are opened up.
All persons that have any inten-
ton of securing stock should do 80
at once as the stock is certainly
worth very many times par from the
ore exposed.

INDIAN GOES ON A RAMPAGE.

RAPID CITY, Oct. Chief Bar
leycorn got in his work Friday night
at the Indian camp, north of Rapid
creek, within the city limits. He
had been drinking all afternoon and
kept the town somewhat excited by
his war-hoops. Some white men are
said to be guilty of selling the Indian
booze. He became frenzied and gave
his devoted squaw a beating. He
threatened the others in the camp
and they scattered in all directions.
The Indian police could do nothing
as his jurisdiction does not extend
Off of the reservation so he claimed.
He came to the business part Of town
last night hunting for a policeman,
but the local sleuths did not banker
for any mixup with a desperate
drunken Indian.

SALE OF GOLDEN
CYCLE DECLARED OFF


COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo, Sept.
30.-As preliminary to the pro-
posed reduction in treatment charges
which include freight-it is stated
that the expected 100000 sale Of
the Golden Cycle coal mines, is def
nitely off. The Goldfields Consoli-
dated of London and South Africa,
who were negotiating for the prop
erty, was willing to take the mines
at the stipulated value, being en-
couraged to that end by recent rich
strikes in the lower levels of the
Golden Cycle. But the experts balk-
ed at the mill and coal mines on
the Milliken valuation, while MILL
ken, as a matter of course, insisted
upon al or nthing, else his mill and
coal mines investments might not
prove, profitable.
The Golden Cycle plant, credited
with $6,3S9,694 in godl for 1909,
is the largest cyanide plant in the
world on a roasting basis, which
means that fire is used to oxidize the
ores instead of special chemical mix
lures as at Stratton's Independence
and the New Portland plants. Wheth-
er the London experts objected to
the roasting feature is not definite
ly known, 1t has no place in the
South African practice nor is it
feature in the new Mexican mills,
where gold-silver ores Of the sui
phide class are treated with cyanide
and an extraction Of "a per cent re-
ported for the gold contents, with a
less perfect extraction of the silver.

The sun looked dark to Sunny Jim
When Roosevelt went after him,
And took away the brimming cup,
From which he was about to sup,
And carried from the banquet spread
Most all the meat and all the bread.
The face that had been sunny wore
A frown not noticed there before.
He said some things, we have a hint,
The papers do not dare to print;
But useless all his plaintive wall,
His wrathful words of no avail.
If he had shown the power and will
To smile and be villain still,
1t would have put him in a fix
To have the sympathy of Blk.
But when a fellow who is beat
Makes ugly faces in defeat,
And growls and groans and grunts
and squeals-
That sort of sullenness reveals
A yellow streak-'twere we'll to trim
All men who act like Sunny Jim.

NEW RECORDS OF
PRODUCTION IN BULLION

KINGMAN, Ariz., Sept. 2S.-The
shipments of gold bullion brought
here from the Gold Road and Tom
Reed mines last week set new rec
ords of production for these proper
ties. The Gold Road output is val
ued at about $4,000 and represents
a nine-days run while the Tom Reed
bullion, two bars, weighing 252
pounds, is worth a little over $780,
900 and is the result of three-week
run. The Tom Reed production is
all the more remarkable in that ev-
en- with the recent addition of an
other tube mill the average amount
of ore treated is less than 60 tons
per day.
At the Gold Road two more Chill
can mills and another compressor
are nearly in place but will not be
put into commission until more pow
er can be developed at the Kingman
plant. Concrete foundations for an
other unit, doubling the present ca
pacity of the latter have already
been completed and the work of erec
tion will be rushed. With the use
of the new Chileans and by chang
ing from sand teaching to direct
and filtration, the Gold
Road mill is expected to treat 800
tons daily. In the mine 1t is esti-
mated that there are about 100000
tons of ore broken in the slopes for
immediate milling, and about five
years supply bolcked out in reserve.

NEW SOURCE OF CAPITAL

| Daily Mining Recors.-There is 9
noteworthy increase of interest on
the part of European countries, par
ticularly England snd France, in
American investments. Not only is
this apparent among the large and
powerful financial syndicates and ex-
ploittation companies, but it is gen.
eral, extending to those who have
been non-investors heretofore and
including merchants, professional
men, farmers and wage-earners, who
are not only realizing the opportuni-
ties in this country, more than ever,
but who are emulating the American
people in the matter of taking ad-
vantage of the chances offered for in
vestment Of small amounts.
Until within recent years, invest
ment and speculation in this country
was confined almost wholly among
specially organized interests and con-
Germs, the public in general looking
on the matter Of buying stocks and
contributing to industrial enterpris-
es as one beyond it's range. We
have seen how this condition has
changed entirely. Farmers, wage
earners and people of small means,
Who have been able to lay aside a
few dollars have entered the invest
ment field with much success. The
people OF foreign countries have
long beheld In this country a ready
and profitable market for their labor
and they are now realizing that it
also presents opportunities for them
to place their capital where it will
become an earning power-which op-
portunities are not greatly in evil
dence in their own countries.
Information denoting this assump-
ton Of interest comes not only from
nuemorus inquiries developing from
abroad, but also from recently return
ed American travellers, who report
that they were constantly besieged
with questions as to possibilities for
investment in this country and per-
solicited for advice upon
various investment features. The
people of those countries through |
which the American tourist Is wont |
TO travel, conclude that one who is |
enabled to travel from one nation to
another must possess abundant for
tune; they meet Americans who have
orospered in the trades and ordinary
pursuits and Immediately decide
hat they have gained fortunes be-
ause of careful investment of their
urplus dollars. This is largely true.
The foreigner however, is not famil-
ar with the fact that the ordinary
Vage-earner Of this country, receives
kingly wage compared with his,
hough they have no doubt acquaint-
d themselves with several instances
n which American resources have
eturned good prontS Tor small in .
estments, and they are manifesting
n eagerness to participate.
The large interests of Europe ;
ave found a splendid field for their
apital in this country and Mexi- ,
D. Why not the smaller ones? AS
matter of fact, it has been the
umerous contributions of small
of capital which have for
lie past few years operated to such 7
industrial developments in /
