Booms and the Mines

There have been mining camps in this country that have come
back and there are many others, decadent, somnolent or moribund
that will doubtless be revived in the future and regain some measure,
if not all, of their former prosperity and productiveness. With Gold
field it is in less degree a case of coming back than in most instances
of mining camps that have undergone a period OF retrogresspn in point
of productiveness. Since its output of gold became an appreciate
factor in the countrys production this camp has maintained a steady
yield that has had no parallel in any single district. Its lower poduc-
ton has been low solely in contrast to its earlier performances and not
by comparison with the output of other camps.
In the accepted sense of coming back Goldheld will doubtless
dsappoint those persons who can SET nothing worth while in mining in
the absence OF a boom. To be sure it has usually required some sort
of boom to populate and develop a mining camp, and some camps nave
had two Or even three booms, but it cannot be denied that the sub
stantial profits made in legitimate mining have almost invariably come
under conditions entirely associated from boom influences. In point
of fact booms, or what are usually regarded as booms, a often merely
stamredes of camp followers o townsite excltements that have little
effect on Or relation to mining. In isolated districts like those of south
en Nevada it has naturally required some booming to bring in men and
capital in the first place, but the point here made is accentuated by the
fact that 81 many camps have undergone a secondary boom, in some
instances far overshadowing the first.
Goldfeld has already had two boons, the first having been a mere
suggestion of the intensity of the second, and is not likely to witness
another of a character even remotely resembling either OF the former
ones. This is not to be regretted as the mines of this district are now
making a far more substantial showing and are in shape to yield rea-
lively greater profits to stockholders than ever before, whether they de
veop into higf-grade bonanzas or producers of quantities OF medium
and low-erade milling res. The distrcth has settled down to business
the wildcat mine is al extinct species here and in future the industry
will be conducted along safe and sane lines, with the aid of MODERN
scientific methods, insuring success where in boom times nearly every
undertaking was a ongchance gamble.
by frenzied booms, as witness Rawhide, and in no inappreciable degree,
Cripple Greek. The Constock was nearly wrecked by boom methods
of mining and mine promotion. 1t has come to be almost proverblal
that a mining camp must live down a boom in order to assume a posi-
ton of security in the mining world, and while a boom appears to be an
essential part OF a camps birth and development, it would be difficult
to exaegerate the harm that has been done by the methods that seem
inseparable from mining booms. And yet, who among is would not
rejoice to SET another boom such as that of I0o67 in Goldheld:

Rodium- Bearing Ground

Opinions of mining men regarding the policy OF Withdrawing
radium. uranium and mountaineering ground from public entry and
reserving it for government exploitation are at wide variance, many
maintaining that all such lands should be open 10 the prospector and
promoter, while others are equally insistent in tieir demand that these
lands shall not be subject to private ownership but shall be the property
the development of radium and the use of its curative properties shall
be enjoyed by all citizens alike.
There is much to be said in favor of Secretary Lanes desire to
reserve TO the government all carnohte deposits but it does not appear
that the best ends can be served by such a process. The government
moves too slowly in all matters pertaining to the development OF
natural resources and there is a strong objection on the part OF most
mining men to anything that smacks of the Pinchot methods OF carry
ing conservation to a harmful extreme and depriving the prospector
and mine developer of the fruits of his labor and enterprise. Much
good is being done by the Bureau of Mines i'll its work of disseminating
information regarding the progress of development in the carnotite
fields. but the bureau is greatly hampered in this work by the inter
minable delays in the government printing office. In this connection,
Mining Science says:
One year ago, a preliminary report uranium, radium and
vanadium, by Richard B. Moore and Karl L. Kithil of the United
printer. The need for immediate printing vas urgent. The report
called attention to the fact not generally known at that time that a
large part of the worlds supply of radium is secured from Colorado
carnotie, it showed that the prices paid for the ore did not measure
up close enough to its value as a source of radium, and 1t urged
that measures be taken to stop avoidable wastes in mining. 1t sug-
gested methods by which this may be accomplished. This report
came from the government presses last month. Any good print
shop could have turned out the job in ten days. 1t took the gov
eminent eleven months. The force of the report is lost because of
the delay.
The work done by the authors of the report has brought results
through advance information given to the public press. There has
been a considerable advance in the price paid for ore. A national
radium institute has been organized. The experts of the Bureau
of Mines are cooperating with the producers in devising means for
concentration of low grade ore at the mines. DIR. Moore is quoted
in a recent interview as saying that the cost of producing radium
can be reduced = per cent through the use of methods discovered
BY the Bureau of Mines. The details will become available through

the government printing office, in the course of another year prob
ably.
Aside from the general objections to the plan, it does not seem
Likely that Secretary Lanes scheme for government ownership and
operation of carnohte deposits will accomplish his purpose. If the
United States hospital service has to wait for the government to
mine its radium, it will wait a long time, Judging from the speed
the government is able to reach in the somewhat simpler matter of
printing a bulletin.

If the properties were producers or

in the last of obscure concerns such

Carson Appeal: The finding of new and rich ore in the Florence
Orc and other Goldheld properties, and it is not bull either, presages
the coming back OF that camp. Goldheld was hit hard when the panic
of 1907 came /, and added to that the bank failures and miners strikes
it would have gone out of sight altogether had it not been for the Won
derful Consolidated mines. Their production was the inspiration that
kept hope alive, and those lie who remained, putting their money into
the ground to prove their faith, will in a short time gain their reward
It's in the cards.

Within a short time the Goldfeld Unity club, launched under such
favorable circumstances, will be housed in its own comfortable club
house, with all the conveniences at hand for the thorough enjoyment OF
its members. The people of Goldheld are taking enthusiastic interest in
this venture, and the ladies of the camp have not been overlooked in the
preparations for a permanent club. Now lets all get together and pull
together for the prosperity and happiness of all the people.

The ten depored South African labor aeitators will have ample

SUBSCRIPTION RATES

The Times-Herald is pleased tc
note that the delegation from
the Ladies Library Club was SC
we'll received by the city author
tiles and that proper steps are to
be taken to make the library a
free institution. 1t is a step in
the right direction and one of
progress that will meet the hearty
approval of the entire community.
The ladies of Burns and vicinity
are certainly to be commended
for the interest they have taken
in the library and the magnifi-
cent collection Of books they have
secured. 1t has been a big un-
dertaking and took perseverance
to maintain the library for the
past several years as it has been
done by active members OF the
library Club. They have some
thing to be proud of and library
that would be a credit to a place
of five times the population of
Burns. With a public library
open at all times under the direct
supervision of a librarian that
can devote the entire time to the
work it will be a great benefit to

Improve and Beau.
tify School Grounds,

Principal Shirk Of the Harney
County School and his students
and the other members of the
faculty hit upon a very unique
way of getting the grounds sur.
rounding the school building in
shape to seed to grass and flow
ers.
Wednesday was made a clean
up day and studies were suspend
ed for the day. About ten teams
and wagons were donated for the
occasion and the boys turned
teamsters and dirt shovelers.
while the girl students of the
domestic science classes, under
the leadership Of their instructor,
Miss Wilson, prepared a warm
noon meal for the workers.
The Oregon e. Western Coloni-
zation Co. donated the dirt TO fill
in with, Bert Stilson, the janitor
superintended the blasting out of
several big rocks on the campus.
The boys succeeded in getting
in about 100 loads of fine dirt
during the day but haven't sufii-
cient yet to cover the entire
grounds as they desire, therefore
