Oneida to the From

company has been incorporated
with John Owen as President aud
Manager and H. 7. Rogers as
secretary. 1t has taken over the
Oneida property near Freeland on
which Messrs Owen and Rogers
have been operating for the past
two years and over. A new mill
IS being built and has progressed
so tar as to be enclosed by the
latter part of the month. 1t is 10
by 100 feet and the ore will be
moved through the various stapes
exclusively by gravity. Where
the ore Is dumped f f.om the mine
to the mill is on the level with the
tunnel. 1t passes over grizzlies
and the fine stuff goes into a 100
ton bin. The coarse ore drops
INTO the crushers and Is ground in
to a thirty mesh size. It then
goes into the bin. From there the
ore goes INTO the stamps where
IS mixed with a. cyanide So
luton. The stamps are quick
drops making 98 to the minute
and weigh 1880 lbs each. They are
supplied by automatic feeders.
from the stamps the pulp goes
over the classiflers and then to
the four Card tables and after
ward to the agitators and other
saving tanks. The small streak
OF high grade concentrates go in
to receiver and is shipped di-
rect to the smelter. The mid
dlings go into Crusher and are
ground to about eighty mesh and
the sand goes into basin. The
water is pumped back into cyanide
| solution tank at the tor of the mill
SO that none OF the water leaves the
mlll but is utilized over and over.
lhe pumping is the only excep-
ton TO gravity. Everything pos
slble has been done with standard
machinery and equipments to effect
the best savings and the results
Will be from tests that the savings
will amount to 90 percent. Practl-
cal tests OF this same method have
shown that only seven cents a ton
is lost in the.treatment. The shines
are returned for going through a
second process
There IS all unlimited supply OF
ore IN the Oneida property that can
be mined and placed in Ike mill at a
price not to exceed 81 90 per ton.
The actual cost of milling will be
about SI.3S per ton. Smelling
grade of ore runs from one to f1a
ounces in gold and the mill
dirt about $500 per ton. The
low cost of mining and milling it
with the large saving percentage
| makes this one of the very at
tractive propositions in this coun
ty. During the past two years
Messrs Owen and Rogers have
confined their work to developing
and opening up the property on a
substantial business basis, dur
ing which time they have made
some excellent shipments of ore
taken from the development work
Hence when the mill is ready to
start up they will not have to
search for ore for they
will have it in large quantities al
most at the portal of the tnnnel
and in continuously for, .hundreps
of feet already exposed. At pre-
sent the mill will have capacity
of about fifty tons per day
but the resources of the mine
would keep loo-ton mill running
Indefinitely.
Everything within reason and
experience has been resorted to,
to add to the efficiency of the plant
and nothing has been sighted or
overlooked that will co ntrlbute to
the best results.

The structural iron work of
the large mill that is being erec-

assuming large proportions and
shows that everything is being
done IN a substantial manner.
The massive concrete work is
of such solidity that it should
stand any demands upon it. The
work is being done in accordance
with the directions of Superin-
tendent A. H. Roller and when
the mill is completed it will be
up-to-date in every respect and
will be just the thing for the

to be treated in a number of mines
that have been open ed up in the
