Make Visitors Welcome and Have
Good Time Generally.

The different committees Of the
inter-mountain fair association are
hard at work in arranging the de-
tails of their different assignments
and matters are beginning to take
definite shape for the great fair to
be held in Boise next month.
The secretary has made an appeal
to the citizens Of Idaho for dis
play of the products of the state, and
the response Of the peoplo is indeed
gratifying to the management.
Never before IN thu history .:
Idaho has there been such a splen-
did array of the products Of the farm
and orchard and mines as will he
shown at the inter-mountain fair this
fall
The applications for space have al
ready overwhelmed the association
and preparations are being made for
the erection Of temporary structures
for the housing Of exhibits which are
less impervious to weather condi-
tions.
In the line Of amusements, no ef-
forts are being spared to make am
pie provisions for the entertainment
of visitors during fair week. The
services Of a number of bands have
been engaged for the occasion. Boise
has many play houses, which will Of
fer splendid bills during the week,
and everything viii be done to make
the fair one to be enjoyed by every
one.
A good program Of trapeze per-
formers and acrobats has been arr
ranged for to perform in front Of
the grand stand, and prominent lee
turers have been engaged to address,
the crowds, and the most noted Of
which is Senator Chamberlain Of Ore

started out his new stage coaches
which will be used between this city
and Pine. These coaches are the fin
est in this part of Idaho and will add
greatly to the convenience of tray-
elers going to the upper country
They are the Concord type swung cn
long leather springs, which gives the
stage a greater comfort than the
steel springs and makes riding more
pleasant. He has also improved the
equipment all along the line in the
nature of horses and harnesses. Each
horse will have its Individual har-
ness and each harness will be thoro-
ughly cleansed and oiled every day
and kept in the finest condition.
This equipment viii make the trip
to the upper country a pleasure rath-

From the day the active operations

ELY Central THROUGH
FAULT into ORE

The Ely Central, one of George
Graham Rice's propositions, which was
secuted by the Mining and Engineer
ing Journal of New York as an impos-
sible wildcat in a barren fault has DIS
appointed it's detractors and with OBJ
~stinate perversity, come into ore and
will probably make a mine.
The Ely Expositor, in a recent issue,
exultantly exclaims:
Eureka! The Ely Central is in the
ore.
"The Expositor, in its issue of last
night published the fact that the Eu-
reka shaft of the Ely Central had
passed through the rhyolite and nal
penetrated the Copper Flat fault of the
Nevada Consolidated's steam shovel
pit-early this morning the graveyard
shift dropped into the rich carbonate
copper ore which lies along the fault
plane of the pit.
"The dump of the Eureka CLEANS

which were hauled up ON the graveyard
shift, and the entire bottom of the
shaft is in the same material. The day
shift is now drilling in this rich ore,
and by tomorrow morning will have
another five feet of it opened up.
"This win by no means put an end
to operations in the Eureka shaft. Work
is to be continued with greater vigor
than ever and according to those who
should have the inside information de-
velopment will continue until the Ely
Central is made one of the biggest cop

$4,000 FROM A
HALF TON

RENO, May BIN the window of the
Farmers & Merchants National bank
are eight bars of bullion from the
mines of the National Mining company
of Nevada located at the camp of
National in Humboldt county. These
eight bricks are valued at more than
10000 and they are the result of a
clean up this month of less than 1000
pounds of ore.
The bullion was brought to Rero lasr
night by Superintendent Bolan of the
National Mines and will be shipped TO
the mint in San Francisco sometime this
week. These shipments from the Ma
tional mines are becoming much mole
and more frequent and are causing
much comment in the mining world.
Now the Stahl brothers have com.
menced to work their lease at National
again and the shipments of bullion
from National will be much larger in
the future than they have been ~ the
past.
The mill which crushed the ore from
which this bullion was obtained is in
charge of Chas. Thayer, formerly OF
Reno.

JULES LABARTHE TALKS ON
THE WABUSKA SHELTER

SPOKANE, Wash, May 3.-Three
hundred thousand dollars will be ex
pended upon a smelling plant at Wabus
ka, Nevada, by the Mason Valley Min
ing company, according to Jules La
barthe, a recognized authority on
metallurgy and smelter construction,
now in Spokane. He is putting the
finishing touches to the plans, which
call for an initial plant of 700 tons
daily capacity, with two blast furnaces
a reverberatory furnace and converters.
He announces that work will begin as
soon as his designs are completed, add.
ing:
"The plant will be built with a view
to early and constant enlargement,
crease in the amount of custom ore
which will be presented for treatment
when the smelter is fairly squared
away for work.
'.The plant will be erected at Wa
buska, about Is miles from the mines
of the company and on the Goldfeld
branch of the Southern Pacific. From
that point to the mines and beyond to
the terminus in Smith Valley, the Cop
per Belt railway furnishes t~ransporta-
ton facilities. At the terminus Is
situated the Nevada-Douglas mines,
which will furnish 800 tons of ore
daily to the new plant. The mines of
the Mason Valley company have al
ready developed 100000 tons OF ore.
The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-05-07

"The power Will be electrical
throughout. The location of the plant
has been decided on with the view of
developing the largest possible trib-
utary districts, and at the same time
be near a cheap source of economic
power. The completed plant will in
volve an expenditure of not less than
$500, OOO."
When asked for his opinion on the
possibilities of the new electrical
reduction of low grade ores, Mr.. La
barthe said:
"Of course, the electric method is
nothing but the use of the electric
furnace instead of fuel for the re-
duction of ores. The strength of the
current varies with the classes of
ores treated, but the experience of
smelter men has been that in good
practice the power would have to be
furnished at from So to $40 per horse
power per year, in order to compete
with present fuel rates.
sit should be remembered that this
process has nothing in common with
the electroytic process of refining
metals. That is a comparatively old
subject"
Mr.. Labarthe, who is an authority
ON eleetrolysis, had charge of the Trial
smelter in 1897, when the first went to
British Columbia for +. Augustus
Heinze.

one long to be remembered by resi-
dents of that section. Vehicles will be
obtainable for inspection tours of the
new town and surrounding country, and
the mines will be thrown open to the
public. There will be a agricultural ex.
hibit and a mining exhibit.
1t is expected that 1900 people will
attend, and the Mason Town Site com
pany has arranged to serve that many
with luncheon and dinner. There Will
be foot ad horse races and suitable
prizes will be given to the winners. III
the afternoon there will be a baseball
game between picked mines. Dancing
will be available for those who ENJOY
that, and every effort is being made 10

Of $27 per ton, with occasional shoots
as high as 800 per ton in gold, with
about foul per cent galena. The gold
values are mostly free milling. Gus

about $4,000 in gold monthly. 1t can
be reached by a good road and is dis
tant but fifteen miles from Rhyolite.
Several other companies are oper,
ating in the same section, among them
the Big Bell and the South Bullfrog.
The latter has had men at work for
eighteen months running tunnels.
The Hartford group has lately been

constantly in ore of a very rich grade,
at the present time ranging around
5000 in value. Upraises are made at
regular intervals along this drift and
Stopping ground opened up. The slopes
are uniformly strong and rich.
The kindergarten drift from the
fifth wihuja level has recently been
started from the side lines of the

Pay Streak Over a Foot Wide.
On this level, which is a development
of the past six weeks, a drift running
1875 feet east and west from the shaft
station has been driven, three upraises
made, all in good ore, and the faces at
either extreme of the drift are In ore.
The pay streak averages between n
and two feet in width and $40 in
value.
The slopes on the 400 level continue
strong and are producing quantities of
very rich ore, including considerable
picture rock.
