You speak of your occupation,

Do you patch trousers all night,

Uncle Rastus, if you are an ex-
pert at the needle, ,and you certainly
are, as you have followed the tailor

ought to lay aside a gool bit of
money, as yon can patch at least
dozen pairs of pants a night and a:

UTAH TALENT OWNS
RICH COPPER MINE
Shaft All in Ore, With Nine
Feet of Good Grade
at the Bottom.

Word from the copper property near
Doyle, which Utah capitalists are devc-
oping, and to which Howard S. Stowe OF
Salt Lake is giving his exclusive attcn-
tion this summer. Is extremely cncourag-
ing. and attention Is being attracted to
the mine from a Wide area. The main
shaft at the present time Is lis feet In
depth. all In ore of fine grade, and the
ore body at the bottom OF the Shaft IS
nine feet In width Tho ore is a chalco-
pvrite with a little bornite coming In
occasionally, no part OF the nine feet
assaying below AZ per cent copper. while
two feet Will average 10 per cent copper.
There has been considerable activity
OF late in the vicinity of this property,
and during the past thirty days large
number of claims have been located. the
claim-seekers endeavoring to so locate
as to get along the extension of the big
vein opened by the Utahns. The camp
bids fair to be one of the attractive red
metal spots before the summer Is gone.
1t is described as being one OF the most
ideal mining locations imaginable. The
hills abound In big timber, there Is
abundant water at hand for milling and
all other purposes. tho country round
about IS a splendid agricultural section,
while the climate bears the California
world over.
On the property in question is one of
the most valuable timber tracts in the
state. and this will prove OF important
revenue 10 the company, as 1t Is not far
from the railroad. with ideal roads lead
Ing TO the loading station on the West
ern Pacific.

ZINC OUTPUT WILL
Be REDUCED SOON
Middle West Producers Must
Ease Down, Owing to the
Market Range.

Zinc orc producers In the Missouri

Immediate promise OF improvement in
the spclter market and number have
determined to close down their proper
ties for the time being The reports are
that the properties OF necessity producing
from hard ground, with consequent cX-
pensive operations. will be the first 10
close down, while those mines fortunate
enough to have easier working ground
Will continue This means n restricted
production OF zinc and lead both. and
such action may materially assist in the
process OF restoring spelter to better
market ranges. a number OF zinc pro-
ducers In Utah are not producing on ac-
count of the low market range.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
OF June says that spelter during the
previous week was more active. but thai {
when sellers who recently have been out
OF the market saw that they bad an op-
portunity OF placing some speIter. they
supplied the demand quite freely, and as
a consequence prices eased Off still fur
ther, The London quotations also were
somewhat lower.
In speaking about the weeks lead mar
ket, It was stated by the same authority
that the few orders for lead that are
coming In are eagerly competed for. and
quotations were easy at Sf30M4,35 IN
New York. The London lead market
also cased off somewhat during the week.

NEW TONNAGE OPEN
IN LUDWIG GROUP

Shareholders of the Nevada Dougla:
Copper company are, in receipt from th'
Boston offices of the general superin'
tendent's report for the week ending
May %. in which Is outlined an interest
ing account of underground conditions Al
the Ludwig and Douglas Hill sections o.
the property in the Yerington SECTION o
Nevada, This statement here follows:
Ludwig-worI1 has just been re-
suned in the third level north OF the
incline shaft and at this point we
have encountered two feet OF high
grade carbonate ore. As work in
incline shaft progresses, II is begin
ming TO be realized that this portion
OF the property has been given far
too little attention in times, past;
the second level has been tempo
rarily discontinued and We have
started raise on the rich body or
carbonate ore encountered a short
distance back OF the present face OF
the drift This raise is now up about
twenty FIVE feet above the back of
the drift and now shows a width OF
between four and five feet Of ore,
tain about l6 per cent In copper.
The fourth level Is being pushed
south 10 encounter the high-grade
bodies of ore encountered on the first
and second levels above. Yesterday
We broke Into q full face OF ore in
the breast OF this level. which can
be Ina andled It handsome profit. No
assays as yet have been received on
this ore. so we are unable TO advise
the exact copper content.
In the development Of the Ludwig
section OF the property, the Ludwig
vein was followed by the main in
cline shaft from the surface 10 the
level OF the sixth station, where the
vein faulted and the ore disappeared.
We have found what appears to be
faulting to the west and upon follow
ing this out, have encountered ore
on the sixth level about thirty feet
back OF the shaft, dipping almost
vertically. This ere is running from
Is per cent to 20 per cent IN copper
contents. From a. point back of the
incline shaft on the seventh level we
can encounter this same ore body by
crosse cutting about twenty feet TO
the west, providing il continues
downward to this level. II this ore
proves TO be what We think 1t is, it
will add thousands OF tons 10 the
blocked ores of the Ludwig mine.
Douglas Hill-ID the Douglas Hill
section, in the Maine raise, the ore
body mentioned In our letter OF last
week proved to be about twelve feet
in thickness. After passing through
this ore, waste was encountered
again. The raise was continued and
when il reached a point approximate
~ thirty feet below the level Of the
Maybe stope in the upper tunnel.
ore was again encountered. From
the character Of the ore. this Will
no doubt prove TO be a continuation

TROUT CREEK GROUP
WILL RESUME WORK
Salt Lake Owners Will Send
Deep Tunnel Into Veins
of Rich Ore.

II. j. Meyer general manager OF the
Trout Creek Mining company. returned
to the property in the Deep Creek sec
tIon OF Utah Thursday night for the pur-
pose OF resumlng an energetic campaign
of deep development work. The Trout
Creek company is Salt Lake organiza-
ton, within whose lines are fourteen
claims. part OF which are patented. There
is A splendid surface nlineralizaton upon
the group, and wherever any depth mas
been gained the veins show up with
strength and the continuation OF the re
sources with depth has been established
beyond question
which can be traced for at least 5000
feet Mr. Meyer states that in all OF the
openings made on this vein ore shows
while horn silver can be found on praG-
a large variety OF ores. gold, silver, cop
per, lead, zinc and even bismuth being
present in good quantities. There is one
body OF 40 per cent zinc ore available
which Will be valuable 10 the company,
once the spelter market resains some OF
its lost strength.
Mr. Meyer states that within the next
few months he expects to prove the mer-
It's OF the group as never before, for
deep tunnel will be sent 10 tap the veins,
and he is certain that before the snow
flies next fall he will have a decidediy
encouraging report to give his Salt Lake
associates. The district still hears re-
ports IN regard to the construction or a
railroad into the heart of Deep Creek
this year, and surveying parties nave
been and still are In the field for this
purpose.
There is not a more ideal spot on
earth for the prospector than In and
round the Trout Creek camp There is
abundant wood. water and game, while

delay as any other part OF the mining

ART OF CYANIDING
CUPRIFEROUS ORES

A process for treating cupriferous gold
and silver ores has been devised by John
Collins Clancy, and he has been granted
United States patent No. 1,057, 1886, cover
ing its use. The process consists Of sub
jecting the ore to the action OF cyanide
solution containing a soluable cyana nide,
the functions OF the cyanamide being to
prevent the precipitation Of copper upon
the zinc at the same time that the gold
and silver are precipitating. The pro-
cess may be applied by adding any
stance. TO the solutions with which ores
are treated The mixture OF ore and So
lution Is agitated according to the usual
practice. and solution is separated by
some one Of the usual means. The solu-
ton is passed over zinc shavings or dust
TO precipitate Its metal contents. while
the copper is held in solution by reason
Of the presence OF cyanamide. This solu-
ton Is used over and over again, or II
necessary, passed through an electrolyzer
to precipitste its copper contents. The
amount OF copper in the solution Will
determine the time when the preclplta-
copper -cya Damde solution Is said to be
an excellent solvent for the precious
metals.as well as for copper compounds.
The great virtue OF this process In
addition to the avoiding of precipitatlng
copper along with gold and silver. Is said
to be that by simple electrolysis all of
the cyanide may be regenerated at
slight expenditure on the anode as
black copper cyanamide. This copper
eva ma mide behaves practically as a cop
per anode and a low voltage is suff-
cient to transfer the anodic copper to
the cathode, during which transfer re-
generation of the cyanide takes place. In
the treatment of copper sulphide ores the
process works as advantageously as in
the treatment of oXidzed copper ores, 1t
may be stated that a high current dem
slty may he used in the deposition OF the
copper from the solution without destroy
ing the solution and at the same time
cutting down the expense of large IN
stallations for electrolyzers in the copper
eposition.-Ensineering and Mining
