GRAVE LINED WITH
ORE RICH IN GOLD

When Trapper Moore, a veteran
prospector of Wallow county, was
scouting in the hills about twenty
miles from Joseph, Ore. he
stumbled into an opening in the
rocks. In short tunnel, near
this opening, were the skeletons
of three white men and in a mortar
near the pile of bones was free
gold, where it lad lain for years
awaiting a place in the dust sack
of its finder. In bottle alongside
one Of the skeletons was a vial
containing samples Of gold-bearing
rock and dozen feet beyond
where the trapper discovered tn G
skeletons he found the entrance to
mammoth cave.
N. E. Bron, who with his brother
and the trapper were among the
few who have viewed the myster-
ious cave. writes the following
DIES cription: "A short distance
from the entrance is a series nj
beautiful waterfalls, boiling
springs, minia ture mud springs of
several different colors and rooms
containing varieQated crystals
stalactiteaand stalagmites. One ither
side Of the moldy path through the
cave are several kinds of minerals,
evidence of free milling gold that
had not been worked for sixty
years as far as $50 feet from the
entrance.
THE skull have been crushed,
apparently by srme blunt instru-
ment, probably n the hands OF
Indians. A portion of the bone,
are missing due to the work OF
wood rats. hundreds of them infesr.
ing the vicinity.
THE vein carrying gold is about
sixteen inches wide. The opening
to the cave has been partially filled
by rock slides and cannot be seen
until within fifteen feet Of it,.

LEVEuNG A HIGH MOUNTAIN

Everything is running in fine
shape at the steam shovel pit at
Copper Flat. six steam shovels
being regularly at work tearing
out the over burden and scooping
up the ore On the west side Of
the pit where is going on the
greatest amount Of excavation they
are averaging about 80 feet of
overburden as against more than
100 feet on the opposite side. The
big hill on that side is being rapidly
reduced to a comparative mole hill,
and one of the steam shovels is at
work almost at the top of the
monument.
1t is a busy sight that is present
ed in the pit at this time. for
everything is under way there in
full blast. Over in the south end
the high grade copper ore still
continues, sweetening the low
grade sulphide ore, running up
the average at the concen traitor.
In addition to the trainlo ads of
sulpbide ore which go down the
high line in seemingly endless pro-
cession, carloads of carbonate ore
are being shipped. This goes to
the converter in lieu of the silica
formerly used for lining in the big
melting pots. In the carbonate
ore the copper gold and silver
values are saved. SO that the disuse
of the silica lining is a money
saving process in more ways than
one.
Al the Liberty pit over the hill
from Copper Flat one steam shovel
is in operation; but that shovel is
doing the work of small army of
men. No attempt is being made
at production although the ore
has been encountered. The
operations are being confined to
the removal of the overburden,
stripping the ore, so that when
the production is started there will
be a continual and uninterrupted
output from the little pit. The
new dumping ground for Liberty
pit in the vicinity of Rieptown on
Nevada Consolidated's ground; and
in tearing down one hill they are
building up another.
At the big reduction plant in
McGill they are practically through
with construction work; but a
large repair force is still maintained
so that there viii! be no occasion
for shutdown at any time in mill,
smelter or converter. The output
OF blister copper for this month
will be in the neighborhood of g.
