HALIFAX GETS THE
ORE COMBINATION

That the management Of the Halifax
Tonopah company has struck the com
binatlon to the treasure vaults OF the
property seems evident from the news
that Director Thomas kearns received
from Tonopah Friday. A message
brought the welcome informa ton that on
the 1000 foot level a fun face Of sui
phide ore was encountered the value OF
which was not less than $50 per ton.
n successful Consummation of the en-
ergetic campaign OF development work
on the Halifax has been deemed certain
owing To the results on nelghboring
mines, especially the Belmont which adj ;
Joins the Halifax and it has been a ques-
ton of work to bring the Halifax into
the coveted division. There has been
no better work done or better equipment
added in Tonopah than the directors Of
the Halifax have seen fit to do. and the
results now being achieved are certainly
due those whose faitn has been pinned
unalterably upon the merits of the prop
oSltion.

NEW LEAD FURNACE
SOON TO Be GOING
Another Month VIII Find the
International Plant With
Larger Capacity.

During the labor troubles in north
ern Mexico, when smelling operations
at the plant where the Miami Copper
company's concentrates were being
handled, this product WAS forwarded to
the International Smelling s. Refining
company IS plant in Tooelo county;
Utah, and four reverberatory furnaces
er The Miami mill product is now be-
ing sent again to the southern smelt-
or instead of TO Utah, yet it is learned
that the International company con
tinues with four reverberatories to the
satisfaction of the necessarily increased
working force, The copper plant is
running smoothly.
At the lead smelter at International
the management is operating four blast
furnaces at capacity, while work on the
fifth furnace is being hurried along to
afford means Of handling the contlnu
ally increasing lead ore tonnage being
received. while the company naturally
is anxious to eat larger holes into the
stockpiles, which seem to defy the best
efforts of the four operating furnaces
to decrease the extent of the same.
The fifth furnace should be ready for
it's part Of the task within another
month from date.
The lead Stag plant at International
which has been operating for about
four weeks, is said to he giving very
satisfactory results. 1t is practically a
lead reverberatory, and by its use the
smelter management is succeeding in
rescuing a generous portion of the val
ues which might otherwise escape de-
lection and become loss through the
Stag.

VALUABLE FIND is
IN LIQUID FORM

Over in the Reveile Nevada mining
section some Tonopah people have been
mining for some time under difficulties,
the trouble being the lack OF water for
Grating the property. 1t is reported that
generous Aow of water has been de-
veloped by tunnel which is aimed for
the ores at depth, and an eleven mile
haul across the deserts for water Is now
eliminated.
This is another instance OF the fact
becoming more apparent daily that nc

pear on the surface, scratch the surface

WORK AT MCDONALD

AT the Mcdonald Ely but little has
heen done to explore the high grade ore
deposit recently found off from the 326

being squared up so that future work can
be done 10 the best advantage.
In an easterly direction the level was
extended more than 400 feet TO prospect
the Albion forma ton which on the sur
face is marked by a wide and lengthy
blowout Of iron groupings. The level
passed through more than 100 feet of
the iron ledge In which are numerous
stringers of good grade ore Recently
the miners were taken from the face of
the level and they are now driving to the
southeast along the footwall OF the iron

PHOSPHATE PLANT
BEING INSTALLED
Border, Wyoming, Is Loca-
ton of First Mill to Treat
Big Deposits.
BACKED BY UTARNS
Finely Ground, Natural Rock
Will Be Utilized to Enrich
Worn Soils.
BACKED BY UTAHNS

Within two months from date the
United States Phosphate company, a
Salt Lake organization, VIII have in
operation its fine grinding plant at Bor-
der, Wyo., which will constitute this
company the first to install equipment
within the enormous phosphate deposits
Of Wyoming, Utah and Idaho for the
purpose OF utilizing these deposits. The
United States company for over year
has been making regular shipments of
the crude rock to the various markets
around Salt Lake, but this plant now
the heads to n l00.mesh, thereby bring
ing il into immediate shape for use as
a fertilizer.
Use Is Increasing.
In the east and middle west the agri-
cultural communities are being con-
WINGED Of the merits of the crude, fine
~ ground, natural phosphate rock as q
fertilizer. which naturally is cheaper
iii cost and OF more durable character
than the chemically prepared fertilizer
with which the agricultural world has
been familiar heretofore. The west is
beginning to appreciate this fact also,
resulting ia continually widening
ground rock, the theory being that the
soil acids viii liberate the fertiliZing
element in the rock rather than de-
mand that the rock be passed throug h
a chemical process before application
to the soil.
In the mountain section surrounding
these phosphate deposits there are nu-
merous smelling plants where the sui
phuric acid needed in the manufacture
of fertilizer could be produced, but the
fact that the smelters so far have not
made move to manufacture such acid
is sufficient evidence that such an en-
terprise is as vet deemed untimely in
this part Of the country. 1t is eX-
tremely fortunate, therefore, for the
Utahns interested that the natural
rock can be and is being II Il, for it
affords an immediate market Tor the
rock, of which there is a practically
unlimited supply in Utah, Wyoming and
Idaho.
The plant al Border, which should be
operating by September !, will have a
daily capacity of 100 tons of crude
rock daily, and this will be the initial
unit of a large enterprise eventually,
the officials of the company being
ready TO increase the milling capacity
as the demand for the product grows.

PHILADELPHIA SUGAR CASES
Treasury Announces There Will b
No Prosecutions Of Refinsrs.

Nearly $o5O,OOO has been recovered
by the government from Philadelphia
sugar companies as the result of the
investigation into the sugar frauds.
The entire shortage has been made
good. and since no criminal intent on
the part Of officials of the company has
been found there will be no prosecu-
lions.
This announcement was made by Act
ing Secretary of the Treasury Curtis
following conference on the subject
with Attorney General 'Wickershani.
In a statement it was said the investl-
cations into these frauds, which have
by the two departments, are now at an
end.
The investigations. which went back
over the records for seventeen years
disclosed claims against the Phlladel-
phia sugar companies for losses to the
customs revenues, which We're caused
for the most part by the short weigh
ing of imported raw sugar and by H.
legal collections of drawbacks upon ex-
portations of sirups.
These claims have been settled by
payments into the treasury and by re-
leases. The w. J. McCahan Sugar
Refining company paid S1WOOO. the
Franklin Sugar Refining company paid
S1o4, 1856 and release from liabilities
arising from excess collections of coun-
tervaiing duties on sugars imported at
Philadelphia and New York amounting
to $4,000.

pany included in its settlement the
claims against itself and the Spreckels

The findings Of the grand jury failed
to show evidence that the officers or
directors of any of the company or any
of the higher officials in the customs
service We're participants in the frauds
or that there was any bribery of gov
ernment wei2hers. The frauds are &C.
counted for largely because of lax dis
cipline.

partment statement. made 1t possible
