Developments at Miami

Miami is maintaining an output of 5000 tons of ore daily. At the mill the crushing equipment is being add ed to by two sets of 42x16 Taylor heavy Miami type rolls, which will be used to give the ore one more crushing. There is also being added to the crushing division two sets of Screens. With this new equipment the product will go into the mill crushed to a fineness of half-inch particles, as originally planned. The Red Springs shaft is being retinnbered for the first time in seven years, it's rehabilitation being considered ne cessary to render it efficient as an emergency outlet, as well as a chan nel of ventilation. At the small stock pile just west of the concentrator the grab bucket is proving such a sue cess in transferring the ore to the mill crusher that Mining Superintend ent Lawton has decided to use it later in cleaning up the last of the large stock pile that is being dropped down shaft No. ?, now being utilized as an ore chute.

Work at the Old Dominion

At the Old Dominion there are no changes or improvements of note around the Smelter The steel erect ing gang are working on the new sta mping mill adjacent to the big con- crete concentrating ore bins. The main erecting work is almost com plete, but some more riveting remains to be done The steel work on the crusher plant has been delayed ow- ing to the late arrival of the steel columns, but these are now in sight and the contractors will go ahead with the erection of the building i'm mediately. All the steel erecting work is being done by the Darbyshire- Harvie Iron and Machine company of Fl Paso. All necessary excavation work in connection with the new con centrator has been completed and forms are now being put in place ready for the concrete. The founda- tions for the rolls are already in place. The steel work on the new cCncentrator will not be started be- fore the crusher plant. samplng mill, and various conVeyorS are all com plete. Steps are being taken to double the capacity of the present custom ore bins above the A shaft so as to give more. storage capacity at that point

It is stated that the department of the interior has withdrawn it's order compelling every prospector to carry a table cloth and fireless cooker whilst in the hills prospecting. They should now go one step further and cancel the order making it imperative that every burro should wear rubber shoes, so as to prevent scratching the rocks. Instead of these restrictions they might add a new order that every man should carry tank of oxygen so that he wouldn't use up the atmosphere and surely enforce the order that every prospector should use nothing but si- lent dynamite. He should also be com pelled to wear hobless shoes and don canvas slippers instead and report to the tax commission the condition of his overalls, so that the correct valuation can be placed upon them.

Timberino Hints

The golden rule for blocking shaft timbers according to C. B. Brodigan tSir Clement Le Neve Foster Me moriaI leseture) is to cut the blocks to suit the shape Of the ground against which they will rest and always wedge between the block ind the set, never between the block and the rock All engineers admit that Neve Poster is a standard authority on mining and timbering. ore dressing and quarrying.

But the mill stood close to the river. and here is where the tailings have accumulated. insuring a plentiful sup ply for their treatment as it did for the ore passing through the mill. There is an accumulation of probably 24.000 tons of these tailings, with q silver content of about 9.90 ounces and 0.04 in gold, with an average value of about $6.75-really a substantial value for a material that is all ready to be treated; and the facilities are eX- ceilent, close to river transportation with abundance of water for treat ment from the same source An old timer has an option on these tailings and is offering. them at very reason able figure to any party who would contract to treat them. l shall be pleased to give the name of the party to any reliable persons who are anxious to negotiate. The possessor of the option intends commencing treatment Of the tailings himself by the first Of october if he does not make satisfactory arrangements with outside parties. Of course anyone desiring to investigate could verify the above facts for themselves and every facility will be furnishel for their doing so.
