Back to Mining.

"l make my money in mining,' said veteran operator to The Mining Re. view, a few days ago, land then go broke on something else."
 Soon after the panic of 1907 hun dreds of men who had made big ID money in mining began making investments in real estate, in lands. in industrial enterprises in manufacturing concerns and in various other lines of business. But, the majority of these are drifting back into the mining game again, hay ing failed, to large extent. in thelr new investment.
 These men are now more enthusias- tic over mining than ever before. If they ever doubted the legitimacy of the pursuit they are now thoroughly convinced that It is the safest occupa- tion that man can follow, and that the rewards are greater, and general ly quicker, than can come from any other avenue of investment.
 When one scans the table of divi. dends paid by mining companies and compares the grand totals with the net earnings of other lines of business, he must become impressed with the mag .nitude of the mining industry, and with the fact that the net profits made by those engaged in actual mining op- erations are far larger than can be &C., credited to any other pursuit. The old time miner knows this to be true, and he realizes this condition more than ever before; and this is why he is returning to his old love. Because mining is so profitable, so reasonably

Newhouse Tunnel.

The most important announcement In many months, affecting the mining industry of the Idaho Springs district, has been made by manager Rens E. Schrmer, of the Newhouse Tunnel, who states that his brother, Frank A. Schirmer of Boston, and number of capitalists of that city have organized the Argo Reduction X Ore Purchasing Co.,, and have obtained subscriptions for sufficient funds for the erection of the first unit of large reduction works just below the portal of the Newhouse tunnel in this city. The plans are now being drawn and it is expected that excavating for the foundations will be under way within the next thirty days. The crushing capacity of the first section of the mill will be 800 tons every Fl hours, but the first unit will handle 100 tons daily, and as soon as justified by the ore supply the plant will be enlarged by the addition of another unit. The Boston crowd has raised S5,O0O$, the estimated cost of the initial plant. Electric power will be utilized, and the water supply for milling purposes will be obtained from Soda Creek, just below the source of the hot min eral springs. This will insure water for milling purposes the entire year round, as during the winter season the springs maintain steady flow. The mineraization in the springs wa. ter will assist in the recovery of val ues in the ores. The new mill will be patterned after the plant of the Hud. son Reduction Co.,, and will be com. bination of concentration and amalga- nation, using cyanide for the extrac- tion in the tailngs. This process has proved to be an unqualified success in the treatment of the ores of this dis trict, and makes it possible to mine ores carrying less than 5$ a ton at a profit, under right conditions. With the erection of a mill at the mouth of the NewhOuse tunnel (as was original
 ly contemplated by Samuel Newhouse), from 45 to 50 cents ton will be saved the ore producers operating in the tunnel, and this saving, together with the close saving of values that will be made by the utilization of cyanide so. lutions on the tailings, means much to the mine owners along the four miles of the Newhouse tunnel. Arthur H. Roller. a graduate Of the Colorado School of Mines and at present man. ager of the Hudson mill and Shafter mines, will be manager of the new company, and the system of ore treat
 ment evolved by him after years of experimentation will be largely em- ployed in the new Argo mill. The Argo Reduction X Ore Purchasing Co.,
 will sample ores at the tunnel mouth and pay for the same on the assay value, or large lots of ore will be re- duced to concentrates and bullion for the shipper. The Newhouse tunnel is now producing large tonnage daily than at any time since the tunnel was started in 1893, and the necessity for milling facilities at the tunnel mouth, long apparent, are now soon to be realized.-New York Mining Age.

The Geminl mine at this place Is now one of the busiest properties in the Tintic district, made so by the adoption of the leasing system, which has always been popular with the miners of this section, and the month ly output now exceeds 1000 ton. Some of the ore which the lessees are mining carries sensational values in sil- yer and those who are fortunate in opening punches of "high grade" are piling up the coin for themselves and the company. Practically all of the lessees in the Gemini are making money and according to Superinten- dent John H. McChrystal the ore which is now being placed upon the market from this mine will average up about 30$ per ton.-Eureka Re- porter.

DaIy West Mill to Resume.

A Salt Lake dispatch says: General manager McMillan, of the Daly West Co.,, announced today that milling op eratious will be resumed next Monday a preliminary turning over having been given the mill on Wednesday with gratifying results. The mill has been closed for several months owing to the source of the water supply in mountains freezing during the past months. During this time the man. agement has been doing considerable new development work in ore on six different levels, the deepest level be- ing the 2,l00.
 Results have been extremely gratify- ing and enough ore developed to last the mill for an indefinite period. The company has maintained steady pro- duction of high. grade ores during the close down of the mill, so that earn ings have been very little if any effect ed in view of conditions. A liberal surplus is in the treasury.
 Stockholders have every reason to expect an announcement any day now that regular quarterly dividend will be declared payable July l.
 The Eagle and Blue Bell mine of Tintic, owned by Bingham Mines Go :. has car of ore en route to smelter worth 5,0OOS, and another soon due that may run double this. Ore is rich in silver with high gold and lead values also, and it occurs in substan- tial quantity in body of lower, but shipping grade on 700 foot level.

The most hybrid word in the Eng

Chamberlain of Clarke university,
writing in the Popular Science Month

points out that this word is derived
from five languages: Latin, Gaelic,
Hebrew, Greek and English. He re-
solves it into its factors as follows:
l. re, Latin prefix. signifying a
repetition or doing over again;
2. mac. Gaelic word for son, In
