taking from the mill plates $4,000 i
month, the last four months run having
aggregated s40,0 in gold bullion, the
ore treated having been taken solely
from the Kittie Burton mine proper.
Total complement Of mine and mill
comprises II people. Besides amalga-
nation, which for years has been the
only process used, concentration was
recentv adopted and with excellent
success relative to the saving of values
that have heretofore slid over the plates
into the tailings pit.
Last week a car load of concentrates,
the first ever shipped out from the pro-
perty, was hauled by wagon to Salmon.
a distance Of 81 miles, thence over the
Gilmore 4 Pittshurg line enroute to
Salt Lake Mr.. Edwards accompanied
the shipment. These concentrates were
Of an iron base and sampled at the mill
$40 gold per ton. Exclusive of the gold
values contained, the high per cent in
iron should render the product very de-
sirahle to the smelter people. 1t is es-
timated that the dump contains at least
500 of concentrates and il the lot
shipped pans out as well as is expected
by the management, concentration will
continue with regular shipments in order.
For many years past the Kittie Bur
ton and the Ulysses mines, just separ-
ated by the hill, and owned by the
Kittie Burton company have been in
active operation, which we believe has
been rewarded with success all round
In the history OF gold milling in camps
tributary to Salmon, the equipment of
plants with concentrating appliances
seems to have been backward, for long
peiod the mill man trusting to the stamps
and amalgamating plates to do the work,
under the supposition that the greatest
values having been caught on the plates,
concentration would not pay for mon
keying with. We believe that the Kittie
Burton mill has been the first to install
concentrating appliances.
With capital for a little development
and amalgamation and concentration
facilities, the same as the Kittie Burton
people are employing, there are dozen
or more gold properties in the Indian
Greek and Shoup districts that can be
big dividend payers.
In the Deer Greek country at about
four miles from Gilmore, Emil Cranes
pacher, Chris Engleking and Dick Rouch
are driving a crosscut of about 125 feet
on their Dexter group of three claims
with the probabilities of mine when
contact is made with the vein. Sur
face is being prospected to some extent
and shows favorably in lead-silver.
Somewhere in the neighborhood OF 100
feet depth will be gained when the cross
cut is finished. The Dexter boys are
workers, VS.. hot air dishursers, and are
disinclined to say much in praise of
their property, preferring to let it do
its own boosting when the proper time
arrives.
