Ore Shoot Now Exposed for

Work on the Colonel Sellers
claim of the Mineral Zone group
is showing up more ore every

prospected for a distance Of 400
feet, and the ore all seems to be
about the same grade.
There is considerable ore at
the custom mill to be put through
and a large tonnage is on the
dump awaiting to be hauled.
The warm weather the past few
days has somewhat retarded the
work of hauling ore, but as the
mill has started crushing, the
ore will be brought out as fast
as possible.
The ore frsm this claifn al
pans well, and is freezer than the

CONCENTRATES.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
The balopticon is an instrument
that permits photographs, ore
specimens, or. like objects to be
shown on a screen in their native
colors. 1t is particularly valu-
able for use in lecture-rooms. A
cheap form is available for parlor
use in throwing on a screen the
views on picture postal cards.
For this use a smooth-surfaced
card is essential.
Pulp from a battery, when the
plates are set at proper angle and
the amount of water is correct,
travels down the plate in a series
Of waves, the lower edge of each
wave rolling over and over and
bringing each particle into con-
tact with the amalgamating sur
face several times. The more
sulphides there are in the ore,
the sleeper must be the slope of
the plates to clear them and not
interfere with subsequent con-
centration.
Zinc-dust is extensively used
in indigo dying, the effect of the
zinc-dust in this connection be-
ing that with milk of lime it pro-
duces hydrogen, and thereby re-
duces indigo blue to indigo white.
The latter, being soluble COM
pound, is consequently, easily
absorbed by the textile fibre, and
then again changed into indigo
blue by atmospheric oxidation.
Zinc-dust is also very extensive
ly used for the reduction Of
nitrobenzol, which is the initia
product of many combinations
used in the production of analine
dyes. Owing to the fact thai
zinc precipitates the majority Of
ductile heavy metals from theil
solutions, it is often used, in the
form of zinc-dust, for cleansing
