Reports Rich Strike on Yukon THbu
 tarv

A Vancouver dispatch says: Placer gold in quantities rivaling the finds ln the early days of the Klondike is be- ing mined by two parties of men on creeks running into the KOyukuk riv- CT l5O miles from it's confluence with the Yukon river in Alaska, according to George Dupuy, a special corres- pondent of the Paris Figaro, who ar rived in Vancouver yesterday on his way to France.
 Mir. Dupuy says the men, of whom there are fifteen, have kept the dis covery a secret for two years. During that time they have shipped out only enough gold to pay for their supplies. Dupuy says the miners have cleaned up 800, in the two seasons they have been working the creeks.
 The characteristic of the gold is its coarseness. Nuggets weighing half a pound are not uncommon and a record was made when five nuggets found in one day had value of l0,000S, says Dupuy. He declares that eight men shoveling dirt for four hours had a cleanup worth nearly 5,COOS.
 "There is no doubt about the cor rectness of the strike" said Dupuy. My informant is on the layout. He gave me the news on condition I would not make it public until I bad reached the outside. If this informa- tion were known in Dawson and Fair banks there would be a stampede to the place at once"

Nevada codso.idated Copper.

One of the new steam shovels or dered some time ago by the Nevada Consolidated Copper Co. was received
 last week and will be put to work in the big pit at Copper Flat. The new shovel makes six of the pOnderous ma chimes in use at the pit where during each 24 hours they mine from 1000 to 5000 tons of ore and remove a still greater tonnage of overburden. Good progress is being made with the pre- liminary excavation in the new steam shovel pit which is being opened up by the Nevada Consolidated on the Liberty group. Overburden at the point where the new pit is being started is said to average not more than 50 feet in thickness and some of the ore as developed by churn drill work is reported to carry as high as 3 per cent copper. A second steam shovel, which is expected any day now, will be put to work at the Liberty pit when received. There is yet much work to be done, however, before the Liberty pit will be ready for produc- tion. Two of the eight sections of the Steptoe concentrator at McGill have been shut down for the past few days to allow the overhauling of two of the engines at the shelter power house. The concentrators' ore supply from Copper Flat ran a little short the first of the week, but shipments are now about up the standard and the reserves in the bins are being replenished. While the Nevada Consolidated has as yet made no definite defined move toward a curtailment of output, the management is certainly not rushing things and it would be no surprise To- cally if orders were given at any time to reduce forces, temporarily at least, in line with the reported policy of Utah Copper and the companies at Rutte Mining Age

Seeking Placer Beds.

For the past several weeks engineers and prospectOrs have been out along the Arizona side of the Colorado river searching for placer digging, and from all indications there will be more placer mining in this part of the ter ritory the coming season than for many years past. At La Paz prepara- tions are already under way for the beginning of active placer operations at an early date. Work on a five mile pipeline is now in progress. A ship ment Of machinery and pipe, aggre- gating upwards of 150 tons, is expect ed to arrive in Parker about the first of September. It is understood the New La Paz Gold Mining company is now making arrangements for it's transportation to it's property forty miles south of Parker.
 La Paz is situated just outside of the southern lines of the Colorado Indian reservation, and within a few miles north of Ehrenberg. In the early days at least 15,OOO people were employed there. It is claimed that large part of the southern extremity of the res ervation is rich in placer gold, bu, as it is on the reservation it cannot be worked by mining men. After the reservation has been opened there will be a scramble for these placer fields.
 The fields south of La Paz and ex- tending down we'll toward Yuma are also rich in placer gold, and it is in this district that the prospectors are today searching.-Tombstone Pros pector.

A winze has been started on the level and is now down 9 feet in four feet ore body showing values from 3OS to eos a ton.
 Operations of the last few months have resulted in the accumulation of several carloads of ore. Immediately after the completion of the wagon road from camp to Harrington three carloads of the heavy copper sulphides will be shipped on which test runs will be made. The road will be open for traffic about September 15.
 The new hoisting plant recently pur- chased will be installed as soon as the road is finished when sinking of the main shaft will be resumed. The shaft is now 300 feet deep. It will be sunk to the 800 foot level as rapidly as possible and extensive lateral work started from that point. It is the in- tention of the Pacific Copper Company to erect a reduction plant as soon as the ore bodies are developed suffici- ently to insure a steady ore supply.
 The property is located in the Brad shaw mountains south of Harrington. The company is building road from Harrington to the camp at an expen- allure of several thousand dollars. It is the first wagon road that has ever been constructed through that region. The development O. the district has been retarded many years on account Of the lack of transportation facilities. The preliminary survey of the terri torial road from Prescott to Phenix passes through the district within a short distance of the Pacific and other properties of proven merit.-Prescott Journal Miner.

Rich Strike on the Silent King.

James U. Nisbet of Polaris was ID town the fore part of the week, bring ing with him some rich specimens from a recent strike on the Silent King. The ore is literally speckled with free gold, and picked samples will run into the thousands of dollars per ton. The strike was made in the shaft at a depth of 40 feet, the character of the ore being a quartz-pOrphyry.
 The dyke upon which the ore is be- ing sunk is twenty feet in width, con- posed of a brecciated porphyry, with a rhyolite capping, and can be traced on the surface for a distance of two miles, The pay streak varies from five to fif- teen inches in width, values running from lOOs to 25OOS to the ton. Four assays recently taken across five feet of the shaft at the 3O-foot point re- turned an average of sos to the ton. At the 2O-foot point samples returned an average of 4OS per ton.
 The Silent King group consists of nine claims located along a highly mineralized dyke running east ard west. The contact pitches 5 degrees south, while the general formation pitches to the north. The footwall is an andesite and the hanging wall a gray porphyry. The property is To- cated about five miles north of the North Star. Yuma county's premier gold producer, and three miles distant from Alamo Springs. Associated with Mir. Nisbet in the ownership of the Silent King are w. H. Clark and G. F. Clark of Salt Lake, both well known mining men of the west. w. H. Clark is interested in properties in Goldfield, Nevada, and Leadville, Col, and is confident of developing a mine on the Alamo dyke.
 Mir. Nisbit is just now establishing a permanent camp on the property. A bunk house and other buildings are being constructed. A whim has been received and two shafts are now em- ployed in sinking. If the present good showing continues to the 100-foot point the owners will put in the necessary machinery for more extensive devel- opments.-Parker Post.

Pacific Mime is Coming Producer.

Recent developments in the 300 foot level of the Pacific mine in the Silver Mountain district have demonstrated beyond doubt that the size and grade of the ore bodies uncovered several months ago are merchantable. Sam ples show values ranging from POS to 24OS a ton. One drift has been run 80 ing ore from four to seven feet in thickness.

A Bisbee special says: Shipments of rich copper oxide ore are being made from the Shattuck arizona mine, at the rate of I75 tons day. The ore will average + per cent copper. No sinking is being done at the present time, as a sufficient ore has been block ed out on the levels to supply the de- mand for some time. The most of the ore shipped is from the upper levels and the sulphide in the lower levels will remain untouched until the copper market becomes stronger.

more than six years ago, it was con- tended that the Germania would still remain. But wise heads who had studied the shelter game in this valley and who had watched other plants with less pull than the Germania go under, predicted that the American shelter would be the only one in that neck of the woods. True to the proph- ecy. when the American finally began work, the Germania was closed down. The big shelter which stands on the hill south of the city proper has in re- cent years forged to the front, and more than doubled its output and has easily lived up to the expectations of the heads of the company.
 In speaking about the shelter in- dustry in thls valley in general in the past, it must be said that the city of Murray is the only town in the United States where so many smelters have been built and left to decay, which easily marks the stride of times and progress. The shelter graveyard will always go under the same old name, and in years to come the historical events attached to the dilapidated in stitutions of the wealthy will again be cited and perhaps other smelters erected.-Salt Lake Tribune.

E. L. Fletcher, manager of the Tungsten Mining company, returned a few days since from Salt Lake City, where he purchased a complete con- centrating plant and rolls for crushing the ore. The grading has been com pleted for the plant, winch it is ex- pected will be erected and in opera tion within two months, or even less time. This will be the first plant actually manufacturing tungsten pro- duct within the state. Its success will be the means of bringing in other properties of the same class in the eastern portion of White Pine county. Ely Record.

 The cost of treating the ore averages about 45 cents per ton for actual op- erating expenses.
 It is the intention of the company to establish custom plants in such points as are accessible to mineral producing localities in the west, south west and Mexico.-Denver Mining Record.

Smelling with Oil.

NN'N' O'" The newest process, called the Kuenzel method, has been highly rec commended by mining engineers of re- pute, who state it has the earmarks of being an invention worth while, and not an addition to the large number of schemes that have failed to work.
 The inventor, Charles A. Kuenzel, of Colorado, first encountered the smelteIs when he became an ore ship per, and it is claimed that the smelter is destined to establish new conditions that will amount to an industrial revo- lution. As stated by the Mining Rec ord, the announcement of the opening of the Kuenzel smelters is a proclama- tion of emancipation to the mine own CTS of the west.
 Three of the fifty-ton furnaces at the new plant in Beuna Vista, Colo, are now smelling metal from ore bought by the management. Five more 5O- ton furnaces are rapidly nearing con- pletion. The Kuenzel shelter an- nounces that the total expense it will assess against the producer for treat ing ores will in no case exceed IS a ton.
 The smelling of ores without the uses Of fuxes, and without the attend ant slags to run to waste. is decided innovation, says Arthur Lake. While the possibilities of disintegrating the ore into its metallic and gangue com ponents by subjecting it to high heat is a fact not new, yet it has not here tofore been used in practical smelting The Kuenzel process utilizes this prin- ciple in its smelt and the lower the temperature required. The slags used in starting the smelt are brought from old dumps, and it is estimated that from these a profit of from B to 5S a ton can be made.
 The process, says Prof. Lake, con- sists primarily in subjecting ores to a very high heat, with direct contact to the flame. The success of the process rests in the regulation of the heat, so that the temperature is at no time too high or too low. Silicious ores can be fed direct to the furnace and high ex- traction made without trouble, though, of course, the greater the metal con. tent of the charge the quicker the smelt. The ores of zinc have DO terror to this process. The treatment con- sists merely in the regulation of the heat.
 The furnace Is merely a slight mod ification of the reverberating furnace. The features of the process e nsist principally in the generation of a dry gas by the inventors patent appliance.
 Oil is the only fuel used. But noth- Ing like ordinary oil burners are used. The furnace is unlike any other; in principle it is analogous to the oxy- hydrogen blow pipe. For average ore heat used is about 5000 degrees, but for refractory ores, with furnaces lined with highly resistent fire bricks, the temperature can be put up to 1900 degrees.
 There is no strong blast to aid con- bustion. Air is compressed in the compressor to 80 pounds and delivered

Imperial Mines are Not Closed.

A Tucson dispatch says: Not only have the Imperial Copper company's mines at Silverbell not closed down, but there is no intention that they shall. This statement is made on the highest outhority and corrects a re- port published which is said to have been brought to Tucson by discharg- ed employe. The only change in the operations of the company is the dis continuance temporarily of the ship ment of ore from the mines to the shelter during the low price of copper. Development in the mines will con- tinue, and the ore, instead of being shipped to the shelter and sold in a very low market, will be held for smelting and sold when the market conditions improve, it is stated.

of Harvey county voters. The
audience demonstrated its ap-

received al! over the state. He
has visited in all the County
Seats in this district and has
made speeches which have been
received everywhere with en-
thusiasm and applause. Give
Oregon the benefit of her own
natural resources" is a slogan
which has won universal favor
for Lafferty from voters through
out the entire district, and the
people have become aroused by
the facts and figures Lafferty
has presented, showing where
the Beaver State has been de-
frauded out of hundreds Of
thousands of dollars through the
inability of the representation;at
Washington, D. G., to procure
reasonable appropriations for
rivers, harbors and irrigation
projects, considering the amount
the state has paid into the ma
