BLUE JACKET LEASERS
ARE IN MILLING ORE
EDITED BY JAMES wYNKOOP

ROUND MOUNTAIN, New. March II.
The leasers on the Blue Jacket estate
have during the past week been busily
engaged in taking out milling ore, and
while this condition has existed for
several months the past ten days have
been banner period as regards ton
mage. Very few camps in the country
can boast OF a property in which every
leaser is i'm ore-and ore that pays to
send to a custom mill to be treated.
On the lower part of the Blue Jacket
holdings the lease given to Messrs.
Gommo, Knight, Bohannon and Blu
chanan is producing milling ore very
day, and while these leasers have not
as yet encountered the high grade the
ore so far taken out will average about
S25 a ton when screened.
The Gibson McVeigh Farrell lease
still continues to produce, and on
March 8 McVeigh opened another ledge
which pans exceedingly well. On this
lease over 200 tons of ore is ready to
be milled, and with the continuance OF
fair weather this amount will be aug
mented during the next sixty days.
on the Manhattan fraction, which
is part of the leasehold of Buchanan,
jr., and Harry Chisholf, a shaft thirty
feet deep has been SINK, and in the
drift on the 20-foot level good values
have been encountered. This lease will
have a mill running inside a month.
The McGhan-Goff lease is now, as II
has been from the day the present
shaft was started, in ore, and it Is the
Intention of the leasers to go to a depth
of 100 feet before prosecuting. This
lease is also waiting for mill run, and
from the papnings secured from the
dump the returns should swell the
amount which the Blue Jacket has pro-
duced.
The Morgan -Cook-Stofelt lease is
again in good ore the drift on the 5O-
foot level yielding values that equal
If they do not excel, the last mill run.
b Messrs. Morris and Rafferty,, who are
working the Tabor lease, have about
sixty tons on the dump that will net
substantial returns, and this amount
is being increased every day
VIII Begin This Week
The lease granted Forgett & Kelli-
her will be in operation this week, and
as both of these men are experienced
miners their holdings should soon rank
among the producers.
The leasers on the Blue Jacket have
up to the present been prevented from
handling their lower grades of ore be-
cause of the rates charged for treat
ment. but satisfactory arrangements
have been completed, and from now on
ores that run $40 ton and under can
be handled at profit. Two leasers this
week sent their output to local mills
Messrs. Morris and Rafferty, have
shipped about fifty tons to the Daisy
and Buchanan. jr.. and H. Chisholm
have sent trial lot to the Shoshone
Milling company.
The mill owned by the latter com
pany is of the Elpass variety, and has
two regrinding pans, which set as ar
as+ras. and a Pierce amalgamator, thus
giving four devices for saving the
Values. Paintings of the tailings do not
show any values left.
1t is expected that during the next
thirty days several large shipments OF
ore from Blue Jacket will be made.

Nj NALLY SUBMITS
 REPORT FOR MONTH

Judge R. P. McNally prepared his report of the work done by his division of the recorders court during the past month yesterday and will submit 1t to Mayor Exum this morning.
 The report shows that little over s1200 of the fines that have been im- posed were paid. The court sentenced 4475 days and 3O3e' days were appealed. All of the days appealed were given for violation of the prohibition law. There were 17a7 days that were not ap- pealed.
 Judge McNally's report is as follows: "Conforming to section of ordinance 314 of the City Council of Birming- ham I hereby submit the following monthly report of all fines, penalties and forfeitures imposed by me as re- corded: Fnes paid $1210, days sem fenced 4437, days appealed 30S6, days not appealed 1737. Respectfully,
 'R. P. M'NALLY."
 "The court has been In existence only one month." said Judge McNally yes- terday, but I believe we have done good work. There are a number of cases that have been disposed of that are not shown in the report as they were docketed for Judge Feagin's di- vision. If we dispose of as many cases each month as we have the first the court will much moro than sustain it. self"

NEW COKE OVENS
 ARE BEING HEATED

The battery of 60 coke ovens which has recently been completed by the Birmingham Coal and Iron company at Short Creek is being heated prepar- atory to making coke.
 The company recently expended a large amount of money in adding this battery to those already at Short Creek mine No. l, and the new facilities will give the company an increase of 100 tons per day
 It was stated yesterday that the extra coke will be used at Vanderbilt in the operation of the extra furnace ca pacity at that plant. Only recently the company put into operation two fur naces at Vanderbilt. The increased fur mace capacity created a shortage of coke which the new batteries will supply.
 The plant at Short Creek is along the most modern lines and is the first of the Covington process ovens in this district.
 They are operated wholly by ma chinery, which obviates the service of workmen in pulling or loading the coke or charging the batteries. The machinery charges the ovens, and after 1t has been burned pulls 1t from the ovens. The coke falls on a belt which carries the coke to cars, where it Is dumped, ready for transportation. In all the process the hand of man does not touch the coal or coke. The pro- cess is proving popular here and Is being installed at other ovens.
