NO MORE VICHY

Our annual reports of mineral wa
tiers are over 10000 0 gallons, hav-
ing a value of nearly a million dol
lars. Two-thirds of these imports
came from Germany, France and
Austria-Hungary, and as sooD as the
stocks on hand are consumed domes-
waters should take the place of those
derived from foreign springs. In this
connection it is interesting to note
that last year the reported sales
from S3S commercial springs in the
United States We're more than ST.
100000 gallons, having a total value
of $500, 900. The recent activity
of the New York state reservation
commission in conserving the nat
ural mineral waters at Saratoga
Springs. as well as in improving To-
cal conditions. is of interest in call
ing attention to the many opportu-
mites in this country for utilizing
such waters and adopting modes of
treatment similar to those which
have made the bath resorts of Ger
many and Austria famous. There is
a somewhat popular but f~allacious
impression that certain European
waters have medicinal properties
not possessed by any American wa
tiers, and many persons addicted to

YEAR TRUCE

DENVER, Sept. 23. - The Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company, in a
letter to the president made public
last night, expressed it's unwilling
ness to re-employ all the strikers not
convicted of crime, as suggested in
the three-year truce proposal prepar-
ed by Hywel Davies and William r.
Farley, the mediators appointed by
the secretary of labor in an effort to
end the Colorado coal miners strike.
The corporation also objected to a
final adjudication of disputes by the
federal grievance commission. The
letter was signed by ]. F. Welborn.
president of the company, who will
discuss the situation with the presi-
dent at Washington today.
At the convention at Trinidad last
week the Colorado union Goa min
ers accepted the truce plan without
amendment and notified the presi-
dent that they we're willing to return
to work and call off the strike as
soon as the proposal was accepted by
the mine owners. Welborn's letter
was his company's individual reply,
and the other operators in the state
will unite in a separate reply. We'll

first obligation was to it's present
employees, many of whom would be
discharged if all the strikers not
convicted of crime were re-employed.

.DAY-BR|STOL SALE
ORDERED POSTPONED
AFTER OCT. Il UNLESS IN
DEFICIENCIES Is PAID

On the hearing of the application
of the Merchants bank of Salt Lake
for the receiver to show cause why
the court should not issue an order
for a receivers sale of the properties
of the Day-Bristol Consolidated Min
ing company, Judge Taber instruct.
ed the clerk to enter an order hold
ing the application for sale until
after October IA, says the Phoebe
Record.
In court we're William E. Orr, rep
r~esenting the receiver; Charles Lee
Horsey, the Consolidated Nevada
Utah corporation; T. J.. Osborne,
Hodges-Cook Mercantile company, a
creditor; D. H. Thomas, Merchants
bank of Salt Lake, a creditor, and
Fred w. Frost of New York, repre-
senting Frank Sullivan Smith, re-
ceiver of the Bristol Consolidated
Mining company. The attorneys for
the Merchants bank and Hodges
Cook Mercantile company argued in
favor of the court granting an order
for the sale of the properties at this
time, while those representing the
Consolidated Nevada-Utah and the
Bristol Consolidated pleaded for de-
lay. upon the ground that the unset
tied financial conditions of the coun-
try at present were such that a sale
now would only mean a sacrifice, as
it was presumed that the property
Would bring nowhere near what it
is actually worth and that the mi
nority stockholders would lose out
entirely.
It was asserted by Attorney Frost
that steps were under way by his
client to finance the property and
pay of the present Indebtedness Of
about 5000 but that it would
take a little more time to complete
the arrangement.
After a great deal of argument
Judge Taber took the matter under
advisement until Friday morning,
when he instructed the clerk to en-
ter an order holding the application
for sale in allegiance until after Oc-
tober IA, when there would be furth-
er hearing on the matter and at
which time, unless the Indebtedness
is cleared up, the court will likely
order a sale of the properties. 1t is
believed. however. that some plan
will be worked out which will mean
the resumption of activities at the
Bristol properties at no distant day.

BACK vein STRIKE
IS GROWING BETTER
MANAGEMENT OF ROCHESTER,

DEVELOPMENT

That the main vein of the Roches-
ter camp, which up to date has been
exposed for a length of between 500
and 900 feet, will show a still great
er depth is indicated by the workings
on the Codd lease, where the winze
has been sunk for a distance of fifty
feet in a good grade of milling ore.
President John F. Cowan of the Ro-
chester Mines company returned yes
terday from the camp. He is elated
at the recent development.
Estimates of the tonnage that may
be counted on from the vein have
been made and the engineers are
satisfied that it will assure a, suffi-
cient tonnage for the new mill in
process of construction. In each
portion Of the vein that has been de-
veloped there is at least eight feet
of ore. In the Four J lease the vein
is thirty feet in width and averages
SIS across the entire face.
The excavation work for the foun-
dalton work of the mill has been
completed, the concrete work is be-
ing pushed ahead and the manage
ment hopes to have the two main
floors completed by next week. The
equipment is scheduled t. arrive
within the next sixty days. at which

so ounces Of silver and between 50

graphite is now being manufactured
in the electric furnaces at Niagara
Falls in amounts far in excess of the
domestic production from natural
sources. and this graphite is we'll
adapted for most of the uses to
which graphite is applied.
The graphite for which we depend
mainly on foreign sources is that

and other refractory products. but
as these uses probably consume
over half Of the graphite used in

matter of no small importance

French island of Madagascar. This
granite is flakv or fibrous and for
this reason is eminently adapted 70
crucible making. For this use 1t
hos met with serious competi-
tion from domestic graphite. The
earthly amorphous graphite mined in
this country and the graphite manu-
featured at Niagara Falls are not
adapted to this use, and as a rule the
expense of concentrating domestic
fake graphite has been pr%ohibitive.
Nevertheless it is to the domestic
surnlies of flake graphite that this
country must look in the event of
foreign supplies being cut of. Prac-
ticallv inexhaustible supplies of this
waterfall are known to occur in New
York. New Jersey, PENNSYLVANIA,
North Carolina. Alabama. Texas and
some other states and are fully de-
scribed in the reports of the United
States geological survey. Similar
deposits are abundant in Canada.
The graphite in these deposits oc-

and mica, and graphite constituting
. to 10 per cent by weight.
Several plants are now engaged in
working such deposits, and many
others now idle could be put on a
producing basis in a short time and
at little expense. Although the pro.
dnct might not be equal to the Cev-
lon graphite in all respects for cru
chile making. there is no question
that 1t would be adequate. for SINH
lar graphite has for years been sue

Another American is the
graphite deposit near Dillon, Mont.
The graphite there is verv similar
to that from Ceylon and should be
adaptable for crucible making. AL

The complaint sets forth that the
defendant has been taking ore from
the Sand Grass for a period of seven
months without knowledge of plain
tiff and that the total value of ore
surreptitiously extracted was $4,000
tons valued at 100000. The COM
plant further states the defendant

LEASERS
MAKING MONEY
PROVE ORES OF DISTRICT ARE
AMENABLE TO CYANIDE
TREATMENT

That the ores of the Austin dis
trict are easily and prcftably amen
able to cyanide treatment has been
proved this summer beyond the least
shadow of a doubt, says the Austin
Reveille.
There have been mills and reduc-
ton plants Of all descriptions in this
camp since the sixties - roasters.
COMMENTATORS, electro : s~eparators,
stamps and all kinds Of fancy chush-
ers. 1t was through this motley bat
terry of reduction plants that the
camp is now able to point to a pro-
duction of nearly five millions in
bullion above the 600 level. 1t has
never been the boast of the Austin
camp that processes have been found
through which to extract the last
four-bit piece Of val.e from the
rock. There were riches enough to
allow an inordinate waste.
But this summer Messrs. Hart and
Cameron secured leases from the re-
ceiver of the Observation-Disclosures Con-
solidated Mining company On the
failing dumps below the mills of the
olden time. In Upper Austin they
are just now completing the treat
ment of approximately 10000 tons
of these tailings through the cyanide
process. Their profits are held Sc
cret, but are variously estimated
from $3.50 to SO per ton. They
have mined" these tailings with
pillow and scraper, dragging the pay
dirt with teams v a temporary
bridge, under which we're set a row
of cyanide tanks. The result has
been so highly satisfactory that it.
has been until now a close secret
from the press, and, even at this
time, it is not possible to state the
actual net result from each ton of
tailings submitted to treatment. But
that is neither here nor there. The
point is that the reduction plant for
Austin ores that omits a cyanide an
mex is preparing the way for some
future Hart and Cameron to come in
and get the easy money.
AS soon as the upper Austin tail
ings are finished the Hart and Cam
eron plant will be moved to the
greatest failing dump left untouched
in Nevada. 1t is the 100000 ton
pile of enriched dirt on the fiat be-
low the Austin Manhattan mill. The
tailings extend on down the fiat be-
low the Nevada Central depot, al
most to the point where the upper
Reese river wagon road crosses the
arroyo.
At this lower point Of operations.
the pillow and scraper method of min
ing will again be used. Those con-
versant with the possibilities of
profit in cyaniding mill tailings pre-
dict a great fortune from these OPP
erations this fall If the weather re-
mains mild long enough so that
work will not be halted by frost.
