Silver Cache Found At Rambo.

A Yuma, Ariz., dispatch says While engaged in the inspection of mining property in the Rambio dis trict, Julius Riser was attracted by an extremely old mining pan stuck in the sand under a ''sotol" bush. He pulled the pan out and in doing so several drills and other miners tools were revealed, rusty ond decayed with age, and further search near the bush re- vealed pieces of high grade silver ore
 The presence of the ore in the place seemed odd to Mr. Riser, as it was evidently ore that had been brought there and he began prospe cting, by digging around. He soon came to a hole filled with about 600 pounds of the ore. The ore on examination was found to be silver glance which would run about 600 ounces to the ton.
 Mir Riser is of the opinion that some prospector left the ore and tools there about D or 30 years ago with the intention of coming back after them, but fate and other things had intervened.

all useless matter. This worthless matter in almost all cases amounts to from 75 to 95 per cent of the whole.
 Fifth, the product from this method should be 97 to 99 per cent, pure metal and can be sacked or melted down to bars and marketed If melted to bars, the product is pure metal and the mine would get paid for everything contained. In other processes where ores carrying the predominate value, such as copper, and also containing small values in gold ard silver, or either, in quantities of a dollar or less, is lost. The saving of either, or both, even in thls small quantity, will pay expense of treatm ent.
 Sixth, the process is so simple that no skilled help is required other than a superintendent of fair ability. No high temperatures, such as are neces- sary in smelling are required. As no fusion of rock takes place, the heat required is only that which is neces- sary to reduce the mineral to metal and by this method, which excludes air, and is very low, thus making al most any and all kinds of fuels adopt ed to this work.

Fairbanks District, Alaska.

The estimated value of the gold out put of the Fairbanks district, Alaska, in 1910 was 6,1OO,OOOS; the value in
 lqO9 was 9.65O, ,OOOs. This falling of is
 due to the facts that many of the rich est placers have been mined out and that no effective work has been ac- complished toward mining gravels of lesser value. Plans for dredging some of the shallower creeks have been made, but nothing tangible has been accomplished. Meantime many of the most enterprising operators have turn ed their attention to prospecting aurif- erous quartz veins. Here, as in Se- ward Peninsula, there are large bodies of auriferous gravels whose gold con- tent is too low to permit it's recovery by the methods now in use. There was a scarcity of labor at Fairbanks in the spring, owing to the exodus to the Iditarod, and on some of the creeks

A New And Apparently Wonderful Smelling Process Is Determined

An Fl Paso, Texas, dispatch says:- A shelter that is expected to revolu- tionize mining in the Southwest has just been given a thorough test in Fl Paso. Metallurgists who have seen it work declare that it is going to do much to develop the mining interests around Fl Paso. It is a process by which the ore is heated only to such a point as to convert all the mineral in the ore into metal. Then the ore is crushed and the metal saved on the concentrating table.
 The ore is put into heated, rotary furnaces, five or six tons of the crush ed ore at time. The charge is thor oughly heated by oil or gas blasts, the furnace is then closed against the air, and 20 pounds of ground sulphur per ton of ore charged in. The furnace is rotated for 20 minutes and the product discharged into an inclined water laundry.
 All the ID neral in the ore has been reduced to metal and nothing has been fused. The charge is ground more finely and passed onto a concentrating table.
 The product is metallic shots and small particles.
 The tailings will be found to be all most barren of metal, all the value being caught as metallic particles, the inventor says.
 The process is the invention of Dr. O. B. Dawson, and one of the furnaces has been set up and is in operation at the Fl Paso foundry.
 Dr. Dawson has expended about 3O,- OOOS in Fl Paso building a plant of about lOO-ton capacity per day, to demonstrate that he can do what is claimed for It, and has done it. He is anxious to install his plant at a mine that can produce a workable quantity of per cent ore or better so as to have a demonstration in actual con- mercial work. He has just finished his experimental work and proved it by treating ore in commercial quan- tity and at a cost, if installed at a mine, that costs less than it would to haul ore five miles; less than it or dinarily costs a shelter for Aux (which he Goes not have to have), less than mines are sometimes charged for mois- ture at shelter, and about what it ordinarily costs to simply unload from wagon to car and car to bin.
 It is said that summary of it's ad- vantages includes:
 First, plant can be cheaply install led any place, preferably at the mouth of a mine, and it is adapted to many kinds of ores.
 Second, minerals are reduced to met als at a cost of about Is ore 1.2OS per ton, depending upon available fuel, oil, coal or wood.
 Third, this cost is more than made up by the high percentage of saving which should be almost complete, as there can be no loss in shining, as all mineral is reduced to metal.
 Fourth, plants of any capacity can be installed on the mining property, thus eliminating all costs of transport ing by wagon and railway hauling of

the water supply was inadequate. These conditions also affected the gold production to a certain extent. It is estimated that about 130 placer mines were operated in the Fairbanks dis trict during 1910; this is a falling of of over 50 per cent from the average of previous years. As the gold produc- tion has declined only about B per cent, the output per mine has increas- ed. An average of about 1900 men were employed in this production through the year. Among the new developments were the operations on Fish creek, where little mining had been done previously. The pay-streak on Goldstream creek was also traced farther downstream. The most ex- tensive mining, as in 1909, was done on Goldstream creek and it's tributaries, Pedro and Gilmore creeks. Second in importance were the operations on lower Cleary creek and on the Chata- nika flats. Fairbanks creek was also the scene of much mining. It is es- timated that 20 claims were worked on Fairbanks creek, 13 on Ester creek, 8 on Fish creek, and 10 to 15 on other smaller creeks.-Mining & Smelling Press.

Big Mining Deal.

Amos Adams and W. c. Prewitt have turned loose their holdings in the Big Eve Mining and Milling co'n- pany to party of Los Angeles capital ists for the handsome figure of l60, ,0OOS, and those gentlemen are now in charge of the property. The big deal. one of the most important that has ever been concluded in Yuma county, was finish ed in the offices of attorney Robertson last Wednesday, and the final papers in the matter signed, sealed and delivered. Following the transfer of stock the new owners met and re- organized the company elected Hugh N. Ketcherside, President and Dr. J. A. Ketcherside, Secretary. A sub stantial payment was made these men and the rest is to come along in month ly installments.
 It is the intention of the company to press the development work and to that end they will soon have a modern equipment on the ground, consisting of power hoists. air compressors, machine drills, and all the very latest and best in the line. When they reach the right stage a reduction plant will be raised to handle the ore on the ground.
 Harry c. Johnson has been made general manager and is now assemb- ling men and material for the start. road making and comfortable quarters are among the most needful of i'm provements,
 Hugh V. Ketcherside is from Long Beach, California, and is at the head of the big company that supplies those beach towns with water. I. s. Over holtzer is his father-in-law, also of the same town. and a man of much wealth. T. E. Finch, is one of the wealthiest men of Covina. California, and the other two men, whose names are SUD- pressed for personal reasons, are high in banking circles of the big city to west. It is assured that the mine will not lack for funds to develop, nor be handicapped by strife among the share holders, for they are men of large af- fairs, inured to every hardship that corporations are heir to, and are fully convinced that here they have some thing worth their while when un. covered.
 The property they have secured is one of the few "grass root" proposi- tions, and its opening will mean much to Yuma and its valley ranches as well as to the gentlemen who place their prise is glad to see the good work start.-Yuma Enterprise.

Col. G. W. Griffey, of the Alta com pany, brought down to Florence, Mon- day, some handsome ore specimens taken from the bottom of shaft he is now sinking on a vein extending into the Silverado ground and connecting with one of the Silyerado veins. This vein had not been prOspected hereto fore as it did not show any values on the surface. But few feet below the surface, in the shaft now sinking, ore of character not previously found in the camp was encountered and gradu- ally increases to quantity as depth is attained on the vein. At the bottom of the shaft, which has now reached a depth of 40 feet the entire vein is ore, some of which is chalcopyrite, and some silver bromides. It is all high grade ore. Recent work in the Black Copper tunnel has also revealed a large body of very high-grade copper ore at a depth of about l50 feet below the surface of the vein. In fact the recent work on the Alta group has ad- ded many thousand dollars to the value of the property and fully verif- ed past predictions as to what would be found in the Alta veins in depths. This group can now be safely depend ed upon to enter the list of profitable produceas at an early period. Blade Tribune.

The Rambo mining district in early days was the most remarkable in Ari- zona. It is here that great boulder worth over a thousand dollars was found.
 The district has always been famous for it's native silver. It is estimated that over 3,OOO,OOOS was taken from the Rambio mine before the crisis of '73 and other things caused it's aban- donment. It was through the dis covery of these mines that Globe was begun and grew into a hourishing silver camp, and it was not until years later that the Old Dominion mine was found. The ''Silver Belt" derived its name from the then silver district around about Globe.

so THIS MISS PAID $50 AND A
WEEK IN JAIL FOR HER
"BACK TO NATURE" BATH-
ING - AND THERE'S A
WHOLE COLONY CF HER IN
WASHINGTON STATE.

The gauze and tight fitting
bathing costumes worn by petit
feminity at Atlantic City and the
French watering places are tame
compared to the costume worn by
this little lady when she bathes in
Puget Sound, says the Los Ange-
les Record. In fact, So risQue and
chic, whichever you like better,
has been her style that it cost her
la $50 fine once and a seven day
Jail sentence at another time. The
records of the courts say she was
fined for bathing nude.
She lives at Home Colony" %
miles from Tacoma, where the peo-
pie had a habit of bathing this
way, the authorities say. They are
mostly Russians and have a col
ony of 800 people. Emma Gold
man has her hand in pretty strong
there and they read her works in
stead of the Bible.
The bathing in the nude was a
practice imported with the Rus
SLAMS and was practiced unmolest-
ed until just few months ago,
when the county authorities got
busy. A lot of convictions were
secured and Jail sentences and
fines were common things about
the colony for a few months.
The Homeites accuse witnesses
against them of hiding behind
hedges and tree trunks waiting to
be shocked" But the justice
courts handed down the fines just
the same.
This woman, Anna Faulkoff,
was fined once, and for the sec
ond conviction she served a short
Jail term.
She is a graduate of the Rus
sian Imperial University, and is
considered a scholar in her native
country. She is member of the
nobility, but was forced to leave.
She is now a radical anarchist.
