The Great Silver King.

A gentleman of mining prominence was through the great Silver King Coalition recently and to a Record re- porter was quite enthusiastic as to what was seen and the immense riches that are being uncovered in various parts of the mine. He says one must personally lspect the various workings to fully appre ciate the careful and thorough work that is being done by Superintendent Geo. D. Blood. With no out-shoE and with practical knowl- edge of mining possessed by few super intendents. Mir. Blood is opening up thIs great property in manner that wins admiration from the directors, and will in time mean steady dividends for the stockholders, for in the opinion of the Records informant, there is more ore exposed, and the mine better developed, than ever in the history of this marvellous producer.
 In holdings recently acquired devel- Opme0lS nave u6mOuSITdJSu that COu- tinuous ore bodies have been traced and uncovered, assuring the King as a producer for the next twenty years, at least. During extensive development over in the Alliance and Hanauer sec tion of country, several big ore Assures were cut showing that that section of country is one vast ore deposit which in itself will take many years to work out-while on the other side of the ridge, including the Uintah Treasure Hill the Crescent, the Odin and other comparatively late acquisitions, have opened up rich deposits-making the King Coalition bigger, better and rich CT than ever in Its history. This is only one of the big properties of the camp. There are others that promise big productions for many years to come with hundreds of fine prospects that with needed capital and intelligent de- velopment will make dividend payers. Record, Park City, Utah.

permitted to work in the mine, which hitherto had been open shop. The management instantly retorted by closing down the works, throwing practically the entire population of the camp out of employment. Soon after ward the mine was reopened on con- dition that no union man should be em- ployed. The old employees who re- nounced the union were given work and those who would not do so were displaced with non-union men from abroad. The management was success ful in the revolution.
 From it's foundation the Homestake has been regarded as the wage-maker for the mining west.-Denver Mining Record.

Strikes Body of Rich Ore.

The Averys have sunk into a large body of ore on the Calunet-Jerome property at a depth of 80 feet, and have drifted or crosscut through F feet of it. All of this body carries values in cop per and silver, and several streaks running through the main body carries values in copper as high as l4 per cent and some ore taken out runs per cent. There is every indication that the body is permanent and that, with depth, the ore will increase in value. The show ing in this property is creating a great deal of excitement locally.
 The development of this property has reached a stage where it will take a lot of real money to continue it, and in order to continue the work it is the intention of the Averys to place small amount of stock on the market. This block will be sold at 9 cents per share. When work is resumed it is the inten- tion,to take advantage of the tunnel site on the property. The proposed tunnel would be about HOO feet in length and would tap the exposed ore body in the SO-foot shaft, at depth of 900 feet Jerome News.

Americas Greatest Gold Mine.

The Homestake gold mine, located at Lead, near Dsadwood, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, is the largest gold mining proposition upon the American continent.
 The Homestake lead was opened soon after the discovery of gold in the Black Hills and the mine has been in almost constant operation since 1876. The ore is low grade. yielding on the aver age not more than 3S a ton, but the supply of it is so vast, and is so easily worked that it Is of inestimable value. All of the scientific processes are em- ployed in extracting the gold, for the ore is both free and refractory.
 Three thousand men are employed in and about the mine. There are more than 50 miles of railway under ground. The lead has been prospected to depth of 5000 feet and is worked to l,50O feet. Apparently the supply is inexhaustible, the engineering force asserting that material for 40 years of work at the present rate is already blocked out.
 For 36 years the mine's output ir gold bullion has averaged more than 800, ,OOOS every month. There are some by-products in silver, lead and copper, but they do not add much to the earn ingS.
 But twice has the mine been shut down for any considerable period. In 1907 fire broke out in the middle levels of the Line and it was found nec- 1 essary to flood the works to extinguish it. This required several months to fill and drain. Last autumn the Vest | ern Federation of Miners served notice upon the owners that after January only members of the union would be

a too great feeling of safety, that sys- tens for the prevention will not always work, and many other platitudes. The essential point after all, is that men loose their heads in emergencies and nothing can prevent an otherwise care ful man from doing, under stress, ex- actly what he should not do. Training in rescue work will do much to incul- cate in miners what may be designated as an emergency habit of mind and prevent the occurrence of accidents such as this. Not only must appliances be furnished, but plans laid and men trained.-M. x $. Press.

Owing to the difficulties encountered in sinking the main shaft of the Flor ence Goldfeld, due to the unstable and swelling ground and the necessity for constantly catching up the caving rock by retimbering, no station has yet been completed below the one on the 65O- foot level, although the shaft is now nearing a depth of 900 feet. It is be- lieved that the worst of the difficulties have been overcome as indications point to a harder character of ground, which will enable the management to sink much more rapidly. A station will be cut within short time on the S00-foot level and as soon as the shaft passes the 900 for sufficient distance another will be cut on that level, the latter to be used for the main drifts that are to be sent to the north and northeast to explore the veins opened in that territory on levels nearer the surface.
 On the $50 foot level the new laterals are now nearing points where it is ex- pected that they will penetrate some of the ore of high grade has been taken by the old bonanza leases.
 In point of economical manner of its operations the Florence is making an excellent record, which has been i'm proved recently, since the adoption of changes in the process of ore treatment, resulting in making its gold extraction from the ore almost entirely by anal gamation and cyanidation. In addition to saving of at least 25S daily in labor the new process, by the elimina- tion of the old concentrators and van ners, as we'll as much of the elevating that was formerly necessary, has great ly simplified it's methods of gold ex- traction and effected important econ- omies in all departments of the plant and mine. Tue mill continues running to about its full capacity of I7O tons daily, a material increase since the change in the treatment process was inaugurated, and is making a better extraction of gold than ever before.

The trite saying that it is always the unexpected which happens, was never better illustrated than by the news de- spatches of last week, bringing the in formation that fire had occurred in the Giroux shaft of the Giroux Consolidat- ed Mines Com pany, and that a number of men had lost their lives. Nothing more unexpected could have occurred. The Giroux shaft is now l430 feet deep; it was raised from workings connected with the 1000-foot level of the older Al pha shaft some 750 feet farther north. The l2O0-foot level is also connected with the Alpha shaft. The Giroux is now being sunk below the l400- foot level. At the l20O-foot level is the concrete pump station. The five con- partment shaft is timbered throughout and just below the collar it Is encircled by a three-inch pipe, bored with quar- ter-inch holes every six inches, aud con- nected with 9O,OO0- gallon tank so that $50 gallons of water per minute may be discharged down the shaft. This may be continued indefinitely, as the tank is connected with the pump dis charge. It will be seen that unusual precautions had been taken to guard against fire in the shaft.
 On Thursday of last week the men at work in the shaft heard noise, and looking up, discovered that the shaft was on fire above the l20O-foot level. Ascending in the cage to that level they disagreed as to procedure, and five decided to walk through to the Aloha shaft, intending to climb out the ladder way. Five others decided to try to pass through the fire in the cage. They reached the surface all badly burned, one being already dead, and one dying later in the hospital. None of those who went to the Alpha shaft escaped. With the data at hand it is impossible to fully explain the accident but probably the water was turned on in the main shaft before the men were out, changing the Alpha from a down cast to an up-cast shaft, driving the smoke into the Alpha workings and killing the men who were seeking safety. What is the lesson? Here ap- parently every reasonable precaution had been taken, yet a disastrous acci- dent occurred. Much might be said that the presence of safeguards induces
