ton of reduction plants.
The rock of this range is
gneiss with granite and schist
intrusions. bikes Of prophyry,
pegmatite and other igneous
rocks occur along the veins indi-
eating the deep seatedness of the
assures. The surface of this
range is covered with an excellent
growth of pine, tamarac and fir,
and in this respect the Belmont
Group is very fortunately situat-
ed, the hillsides adjacent to the
vein are covered with the finest
of mining timbers, and in drift
ing on the lead a depth of 200
feet is gained in 500.
In it's course west the Belmont
vein traverses a low saddle in
the. range at which point it is
possible to concentrate the waters
of two small streams, one from
either side of. the ridge, which
would furnish ample water power
for the operation of a five or ten
stamp mill, but for larger opera
tions the Red river, one mile tc
the east, would furnish all the
required power.

ANACONDA
MILL RUNNING
Lessees Are Taking Out Rich
Ore.

Operation by the lessees Messrs
Smith Bros, Whipple. Jones,
Newton and Mcdonald, Of the
Anaconda mine is progressing
very satisfactory. The mill has
been reftted with concentrators
and is running full time and
from the looks of the plates they
are recovering a very high per-
centage of the values by ANAL
gamation.
Three feet Of very rich ore was
recently encountered on the $50
#. level in the shaft and devel-
opment shows the ore body to be
increasing in width as the drift
is pushed to the east.
The lessees are preparing to
start raising from the mill tunnel
which has a depth Of 420 from
the surface. This will greatly
reduce the cost of mining and
will make it possible to mine and
mill the entire 8 #. of ore now
exposed in the drift. The ore
exclusive of the recent rich
strike averages in value about
SIG to $40 per ton, go to 70 per
cent of which can be saved on the
plates.
This property was operated
several years ago by Graham
Ross Ca, and a large amount OF
development work was done by
them but financial distress over
took them when they were or
the verge of success. The com
pany were unable to continue
development to a point where
the ore could be reached and the

Fell Heir TO Millions.

Two or three years ago a min
ing man in this western country
owned a most promising-looking
prospect. Like many others who
make business of finding and
selling properties of this nature,
he offered his location for sale,
and was so modest in his de-
mands that he only wanted
$4,000 for his find. The price
was small enough to tempt the
general run of buyers; but, in
his case he was unable to find a
purchaser, and classed himself
among the unfortunates. Under
the circumstances his property
was practically valueless unless
made more attractive by devel
opment. And so he was forced
to work it. For a month or more
he met with but poor success.
After that matters became in
teresting. His tunnel broke into
a small vein of high-grade gold
ore. Following this he soon I'M
covered quite a large body of
picture" rock. In six months
he had developed 2 vertible bo-
napza. Then it was that buyers
fiocked in by the score. People
in the district went wild over his
discovery, for every indication
pointed to still larger and richer
ore bodies. About this time he
4 was offered $2,5O0,OOO for his
mine. He refused, for there
was more than this princely sun
in sight, already blocked out fol
extraction and the market. HI

daily, and feels as II 1t Wa'

a matter of fact, he was reall,

tried to sell his prospect for /;
paltry two thousand, and fel
heir to millions.

in mining operations in the west

Making Preparation for
Busy Season.
BERRIES PLENTY ON SALMON
Is a Delightful Place in the
Summer.

A trip to Dixie at this season
of the year is a very enjoyable
diversion from the monotony Of
office work, and was very much
appreciated by the Mining News
man last week.
On arrival at Dixie, it was
very noticeable that the COM
panies and prospectors were all
getting in readiness for a good
summers campaign of work, and
only a shortage of some supplies
have held back the work until
this time.
The town of Dixie is very
prettily situated in a park on
Crooked creek, just below the
junction of Fourth of July creek.
1t is on patented ground, owned
by the Idaho Realty, Power and
Mines company, and all property
owners hold a clear title.
There are quite a number of
substantial buildings, including
a large, well appointed hotel,
several store buildings, dwellings
and stables.
The hotels and mining COM
panies are supplied with vege-
tables from the ranches on Sal
mon river, and at this season of
the year, it is really a treat to go
into @ mining camp so remote
from railroad and civilization,
and be able to sit down to meals
such as are served at the Hotel
Dixie, by the genial landlord, J..
M. Haynie.
On last Sunday there was
served a dinner, that for bounti-
fulness and sumptuousness was
only excelled by the healthy ap-
petites of those who were fortu-
nate enough to be able to be
/ there.
Some thirty of the miners ano
prospectors, and all the ladies in
camp were present, and severa
miners who could not be present
sent regrets. Mrs. M. V. Jack.
son was the representative from
the Majestic force, the distance
to the company's property being
to great for the men to travel.
The menu consisted principally
l of oyster soup, roast chicken, al
= kinds of fresh vegetables, anC
strawberries and ice cream. The
way they serve Strawberries il

of the so-called permanent white

A solution for water-jackets
on gas engines that will not
freeze at any temperature above

made by combining 100 parts
water, by weight, with rs parts

fectly liquid at all temperatures
above its congealing point.
Screw connections may be
made tight by using powered
shellac dissolved in 10 per cent
ammonia. The mucilaginous
mass is painted over the screw
threads, after they have been
thoroughly cleaned, and the
fitting is screwed home. The
ammonia soon volatilzes, leaving
behind mass which hardens
quickly, makes a tight joint, and
is impervious to hot and cold
water. +
Platinum is easiest recovered
from black sands by simple
washing operations, for it is as
easily recovered as gold and can
be caught in the same way, with
the exception that it will not
amalgamate unless some strong
reagent, like sodium amalgam, is
employed. When platinum occurs
with copper or nickel it is finally
, obtained in the refining of these

and could not conveniently he

VISIBLE FREE GOLD PANS RICH
Had Been Abandoned by Old
Time Prospectors.

Among the recent new discov-
cries in this district, that made
by H., T. Thomson and j. E.
Louden, about Is miles southeast
of Elk City, bids fair to develop
into a property of great import
ance. The new discovery is sit
uated about a mile directly east
of the Hercules group owned by
Messrs. johnson and Comley, and
about five miles southeast of the
American Eagle mine, and in a
section of country that has been
prospected intermittently for sew
eral years and in fact this identi-
cal vein had been located several
times by different prospectors,
and numerous 10-foot holes been
sunk and surface cuts across the
vein. But the outcrop being a
.honeycomb quartz and apparently
almost barren Of mineral, was
not considered sufficient induce
.ment to warrant further eXplor-
alton.
Messrs. Thomson and Louden,
who are prospectors and miners
of wide experience, and being
somewhat acquainted with the
theory of secondary enrichment,
the big outcrop of honey comb
quartz looked good tothem. The
ground being, open for location
they Immediately began sinking
hole, not on the side as had been
done by previous locators, but
right in the middle of the vein.
At a very few feet depth sui
.phides and shelly quartz carrying
much hematite began to appear
and at depth Of ten feet the
entire bottom Of the hole was in
ore that assayed $43.72.
The hematite occurs on the side
of the sulphide ore and appears
to be about three feet in width
specimens of which carry large
amount of visible free gold anC
pans very rich. The vein il
traceable for a distance of one
half mile and the surface is GOV
cred with large fragmentar,
float from the vein. While neithe
wall has been definitely de
termined, the surface opening
indicate the vein to be at leas
ten feet in width and strike
about east and west, standin,
nearly vertical. +
The owners have located thre
claims on the strike of the veil
and two claims on a parallel vel

which they have named the Bel
