OLD CAMP OF BELLEVILLE
is COMING TO LIFE

The old camp of Belleville, about
twelve miles south of Nina. on the
narrow gauge branch of the Nevada
& California railway, ana west of
Candelaria, is rapidly getting into
form again. F. c. Biddle, a mining
man of San Francisco, is pushing
work on a treating plant which prom
Uses to extract the values from the
thousands of tons of tailings that
have been lying there practically as
waste for years. When Candelaria
was in her palmy days as a producer
of pres a big milling plant was in
stalled at Belleville and hundreds of
thousands of tons of ore from the
old bonanza camp were hauled to
this mill and treated. AS the cyan
ide process was little known in the
early days of mining in Nevada these
tailings were allowed to pile up as
waste. Several parties from time to
time have tried to treat and extract
the values from these tailings, but
the process of extraction of early
days and the salts and chemicals
used have made the ordinary cyanide
methods of treatment a failure.
But Mr.. Biddle, after years of labor,
has developed a method of treatment
that practically makes a complete
extraction of the values.-Western

BURCH ON LIMITATION
Of TITLE TO MINERAL Lands"

the development Of oil lands to en-
able him to make any recommended
tions regarding the initiation Of
title to oil-land claims, other than
to say hat discovery as a %prerequi-
site is manifestly improper.
5. With reference to placer loca-
tons other than of oil lands, the
placer law should be made applicable
only to those deposits of valuable
mineral which lie above the surface
of bedrock, and other provisions
should be made for the initiation of
title to bodies of iron ore and such
stratified deposits as phosphate rock,
gypsum, ETC., the location of which
has heretofore been considered as
possibly included within the provis-
location of placer mining claims.
6. Buried river channels of gold
bearing gravel, which are found in
California, and, to a limited extent.
in other states might be located I'M
der the law governing the location
of lode mining claims, instead OF
that relating to ~placers, as at present.
Naturally such changes as are sug-
gested above would involve some
change in the laws governing the
maintenance of title to mining
claims, but the discussion of that
subject does not come within the
province of this paper.

CONSOLIDATED COPPER M
MAKES REPORT FOR II

The Consolidated Copper Mines
Co., organized last year tc merge
Giroux Con-, Chairman Con-, Butte
& Ely and C%oppermines Co., has
made a report covering the period
from May 20, 1913, to April 80,
1914, showing earnings of $473,073,
all from the Giroux property, says
Mining World. The Giroux ship
ments totaled 17O,29S wet tons OF
ore, the product being: Copper g.
O41,67S pounds, value, $45O,536;
silver 2212 ounces, 1892; gold 1861
ounces, $21,235; total earnings,
$473,O73; expenses at mine, $467,-
259; profit, $5S14. There were
other expenditures, however, total
ing $17S,944, which converted the
profit into a deficit of $173,130.
Giroux balance sheet as of April
81 shows metals on hand valued at
s1OS,957; cash of $6379; accounts
receivable, $500; supplies, $51,336;
bills payable, 100000; accounts,
$32,294; advances received on cop
per, $1O3,651; accrued interest on
bonds, ETC., $11,723; unpaid freight
and refining charges, $4339.
Quick assets, including Butte &
Ely investment of $254,641, were
$1S3,477, against which there were
floating liabilities of 1861 ,008. 1t
will probably take until Nov. 80 to
supply sufficient ore in order to ter
inmate the smelling contract with

OPERATIONS ON OPHIR MINE STILL
LEAD IN INTEREST ON THE COMSTOCK

At the Ophir mine, during the past
week, 800 feet of 15-inch air pipe
was taken from the 1900 winze, ana
on the 25OO-foot level. work mas been
taken up cleaning cut the east cross
cut, started in the southwest drift at
the 193-foot point. Excellent pro-
gress was made repairing the Central
tunnel, a distance of 200 feet being
placed in good condition; total length
now open 425 feet. The Comstock
Pumping Association has continued
repairs to the 1900 station of the
Ophir incline. At the mill, 119 tons
of custom ore were treated and 345
tons of dump pre-
Consolidated Virginia has encount-
cred some improvement in values on
the 2500-foot level, where the north
east drift is being extended along the
hanging wall slip of the vein. An
advance of 25 feet was made for the
week; total length 440 feet. The face
is in vein formation, with streaks of
quartz, and from the drift seven cars
of ores saved, gave an average of
$1O.17 per ton. This is developing in
to al important prospect, and further
exploration is awaited with unusual
interest.
The Sierra Nevada company joint
ly with the Mexican and Union Con.
has been repairing the water boxes
in the Unon shaft, and with the
Union company repaired the hoist
motor at the 1000 level. There was
shipped to the Ophir mill, 25 tons OF
ore from the $500 winze, of an ave
| age assay value per ton of $3.50.
The Mexican company has taken a
hoist underground for the Mexican
$500 level winze and has beer samp-
ling the quartz in the old $500 level
joint Mexican and Union east cross
cut.
The Union Con. aside from joint
work with Mexican and Sierra Ne
vada, has taken underground a trip
lex electric pump, and are setting it
up in the Union winze, preparatory
to opening a new level at the 1850.
The report of the United Comstock
Pumping Association shows that the
electric power was intermittent dur
ing the week, but the water level was
held at the usual points. On the
$500 level, 500 feet of inch and a half
water pipe was put in place, and on
the 1900 level, a concrete bulkhead
was started in the North Lateral SUI
tro tunnel for the purpose of improv-
ing ventilation.
The past week has been one of mo-
ment at the Yellow Jacket mill in
Gold Hill, where the new cyanide
plant vas completed and began regu-
lar operations in the treatment OF
concentrates. The plant has been
running like clOck-wOrk ever since il
was started up, and shows thorough
ness in construction and workman

most valuable addition to the milling
facilities at the Jacket, and a profit

WTltlng In the Mining and EnSl-
neering World on The Initiation of
Title to Mineral Lands" Mr.. Albert
Burch, general manager OF the Gold
field Consolidated Mines company,
said:
An analysis of this subject demands
a study of the theory and practice of
the present system, conclusions as
to it's merits, and recommendations
for remedying its defects If any be
found.
The theory of the present law with
reference to lode locations contem-
plates the existence upon the surface
of mineral-bearing veins which have
clearly marked boundaries, and which
can be so readily traced that a 10
Gator may Immediately mark the
boundaries of his 600 by 1900 foot
claim in such a way that the vein
will pass through both of its end
lines. 1t also supposes that, having
discovered such a mineraf-bearing
vein, the locator will at once post a
notice upon such discovery, mark
the boundaries Of his location in such
a that they can be readily
traced, and from that time forward
have absolute title to the ground
embraced within such boundaries, as
against every person except the Unit
ed States.
For initiating title to placer
ground, the law presupposes the dis
covery of a valuable mineral deposit;
but not necessarily in place, as in
the case of lode claims; and the To-
cation may be made to conform "as
nearly as may be" to the legal sub
divisions of the United States public
land survey. When the placer law
was extended to include the %acquisi-
ton Of title to oil lands. no exception
was made as to the necessity for the
discovery of valuable mineral in ad-
vance of location.
Nature did not make all veins
clearly defined and readily ~traceable
upon the surface; nor did she, in all
cases, leave upon the surface which
~overlies important ore bodies such
outcrops as would in themselves be
considered valuable; and the citizen
of the United States has in the past
endeavored to steer his course be-
tween the mandates of the law az
the limitations of nature.

The Seventh Inning Stretch.

It is a simple ceremonial, but i'm pressiye, like all manifestations of the soul of a multitude. I need only close my eyes to call up the picture vividly. 1t is day of brilliant sunshine, and a great crowd of men is seated in the open air, crowd made up of all con- ditfons, ages, races, temperaments and states of mind. The crowd has sat there an hour or more, while the aft ernoon sun has slanted deeper into the west and the shadows have crept across greensward and hard baked clay to the eastern horizon. Then, al- most with a single motion-the time may be somewhere between o'clock and o'clock-this multitude of divers minds and tempers rises to its feet and stands silent. while one might count twenty perhaps. Nothing is said. No high priest intones prayer for this vast congregation. Neverthe- less, the impulse of 10000 hearts Is ob- viously focused into a single desire. When you have counted twenty the crowd sinks back to the benches. A half minute at most and the rite is over.-Simeon Strunsky in Atlantic.
