Miami Copper Go.

Earnings of the Miami Copper com l pany for the six months ended June 30 are to hand Additional information gleaned from the report follows: During the first half of the year of 1914 there was driven 20,6S8 feet of drifts and raises for development and extraction purposes. There was mined | during this period 639,656 tons of ore and there was treated in the concen- | trator 63S,456 tons which produced 25,- 66S tons of concentrates having a cop per content of 39.12 per cent. The gross production of copper contained in the concentrates for the half year
 amounted to 2O,OS3,O96 pounds divided ! as follows: January 3.315,617 pounds; February 3,316.4S2 pounds; March | 3,46S,936 pounds; April 3,406,52S
 pounds: May 3.410,753 pounds; and
 June 3,164,79O pounds.
 From the above the smelter deduc- l tion of per cent, gives the net pro- duction of merchantable copper as 19,- 1 07S,942 lbs. The average assay of the ore treated during the period was 2.275 per cent of copper. The actual | extraction was 6914 per cent, this be- I ing the copper contained in the con- centrate as compared with the copper contained in the ore. The extraction of copper in the concentrate was 31.45 lbs. per ton or in final merchantable cop per, after smelter losses, 29.SS lbs. per ton treated. The average tailing assay | was about S-10 of l per cent copper, of ! ol. 9 If i l was in the form of oxide, and 5-10 of | l per cent in the form of sulphide. 1 Adolph Lewishon, president says that after considerable experimenting car
 ried on during 1913 and the early part of 1914, it was concluded that this tail- i ing loss could be reduced by certain notifications in the mill. With this view, section six was remodelled with gratifying result, the tailing assay be- 1 ing reduced in that section to about 65-100 of 1 per cent, of which 30-1O0 of i 1 per cent was oxide and 35100sof l i per cent sulphide. thus giving an in- 1 creased extraction of about lbs. of , copper per ton. The material has been ordered to change the other five sec
 
 them one at a time. During the first half of 1914 experiments were contin-
 ued toward further reduction in tailing ! losses, work being carried on along the l line of both flotatiOn and teaching. These experiments are still being con-
 ducted, and it is hoped that further improvement will be achieved. During | the above period all of the ore extract
 ed has been above the 420 it. level, no
 ore on the 570 it. level as yet having l been touched
 l Continuing, President Lewiston
 said: Gratifying reductions in cost have been achieved in both per ton of ore treated and per pound of copper
 produced. The mining cost, including
 development, in January was $1.46
 ton where as in June it was reduced to l s117.
 "The corresponding reduction has also been made in the milling expense
 In January this year 53c. ton, and in June 44c. a ton.

this the sentiment among the large consumers is said to be more cheerful, and they show a little more interest in the situation.
 Prices are being quoted at 121Ac. for electrolytic, and it is believed that this basis can be maintained.
 One feature of the situation at the moment, and one that is commented upon In the trade, is the fairly good export movement to Europe, despite existing drawbacks.
 Tombstone
 It is reported that the "Old Guard" property at this camp, is again about to resume operations. Energetic op- erations will commence at once, and it is claimed there is already sufficient ore in sight to warrant the erection of 8 mill and that the installation of a plant is now being considered. This property starting up will be another addition to the reviving spirit of Tomb stone.

Brass is composed of varying amounts of copper and zinc and has at last been found in nature combined in the exact amounts and let it be understood very clearly without the art of man.. The discovery of the brass vein was a very interesting one. A German prospector named POtSdam was following his bur ros up a deep canyon, Tt is believed in the Superstition range of mountains' and his eye was attracted by small hairlike specks of yellow At first he thought they might be hairs from his yellow dog, but on closer inspection found they were brass shoe tacks and concluded that some prospector pre- ceding him had spilled them from a packet. But on going little higher he found the hill side covered with them and where they were thickest he climbed up eSpied the yellow formation and there found the ledge in place. But being somewhat skeptical he loaded some on his burros and hiked to town with his samples and unloaded at his favorite asayers' door. The assayer prepared his samples with secret Aux and ran them through and determined they contained brass and of a very high per centage. A company was at once formed to take hold of the prop erty and Professor l. Catchem, was named as president, N. E. Rollem gen. eral manager, and Hail Skinem as su- perintendent. These gentlemen visited the prospect together and at once pro- nounced it a wonder and also a winner The following brief description is from their joint report: "The vein is a true Assure travelling north with exactly the same dip as the big dipper. The hang ing wall is a hard vitreous compact fakemite, and the foot wall a porous amygdaloidal bunkemide. The vein gangue is a crystallized gallite, very much metamorphosed. It is in this the brass is found. The vein is broken by normal abnormal and somersault faulting. The vein being so extremely devoid of faultlessness is the cause of the rounded and Sphervidal particles so
 near the surface. Development work was at once commenced and at 10 feet, small beautifully rounded brass but tons were encountered. The manage ment states these are resultant from the movement in the vein The three gentlemen above named, think that brass door knobs will be uncovered at
 depth of 25 feet and at 50 feet, brass chandeliers, urns and cuspidors, and at
 75 feet which they consider will be the permanent water level, it is possible that larger articles such as brass bed steads may be encountered.
 There is evidently a great future be- fore the property. The gentlemen who couldn't tell brass from gold will form the directorate of the company, this ensures an intelligent and businesslike handling of the ccmpanys affairs. Per init has already been granted by the incineration commission for the un- loading of large block of stock on the public. The stock certificates will be very unique, they will be engraved on brass plate, and made from the endless sheet brass found on the hanging wall side of the vein, undoubtedly the com
 pany has a bright and untarnished future.

These countries from which we have regular and reliable monthly re-
 turns produced in 1913 about 5S per cent of the entire gold output of the world For the half year their total loss has been 77 per cent, which was chiefly due to the heavy decrease in the Transvaal. r'or the remaining gold producers, which furnish no per
 iodical returns, such indications as we have do not point to any consid-
 erable changes, except in Mexico,
 where the output must have been
 light Allowing for this and also talk hing into account the fact that no new producing districts of any i'm portance have been opened uuring the year, it appears probable that the
 worlds output of gold in the first
 half of 1913 was somewhere between
 s215, 5,0OO,toO and s22O,0O0,O00 probably
 at least $15,000,000 less than in the first half of last year.
 The prospect of this loss will hardly
 be made up in the second half of the year. While none of the great pro ducing regions even in Russia are directly affected by the war condl : tions now prevailing in Europe, there will be much indirect influence exert. ed. Thus in the IrsInsvaal ana Rhodesia there may be difficulties in the way of securing supplies and new machinery needed, as. for 1n- stance, the supply of cyanide, to which some reference was made Tn our columns last week. Other req sons may be found in a diversion of
 men from the mining industry and
 the general disarrangement of pusi- ness.
 It appears probable, therefore, so far as can now be foreseen. that
 the current years gold production
 will be appreciably below that Of US
 predecessor-quite possibly the small
 est for several years.-Engineerins

'The reduction in cost in the mines has been due to finally getting the shrinkage stopes finished so that the ore could be drawn from them. In ad- dition to this a forced system of ven tilation was adopted by the use of an underground fan, which reduced the compressed air consumption in the mine from 9.0000OO cubic feet to 5O0O,- 900 cubic feet per month. In the mill the reduction in cost was largely due to the improved coarse crushing of the ore as it comes from the mine and be- fore it goes into the mill bins proper Here two new rolls, two screens and two elevators have been introduced, so that 99 per cent of the ore going to the mill is crushed to F in size.''

"wonders of All Wonders"

The impossible has at last been dis covered and scientific theory has been thrown down the well exploded and broken into smithereens.
 Scientists have been telling us for centuries that brass was composed of several different clements, that 1t was produced artificially by man and could not exist in nature. But it has actually been discovered in Arizona, for the newspapers report it and it must be so.

Copper Queen to Resume ore Purchases

Within a few days the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining company will re- sume tine purchasing of customs ores, according to the statement made yes terday by the management. No spe- oific date for the opening has yet been made. The company has been definite ly out of the market for customs ores since the outbreak of the European war
 Resumption of the purchase of ores will mean much to this section of the country, particularly in Sonora. Many of the smaller properties which sell their ores usually to the Copper Queen will probably be able to resume opera lions.
 Bisbee mines of the Copper Queen now employ 1700 men as against 230o employed when the war broke out in Europe.

This property known as the Black Hassayampa north of Wicenburg is to resume active operations next month The main shaft is down to 8 depth of 360 feet, with cross cuts and drifts exposing a very large body of ore The main shaft will be con tinued to a depth of 506 feet and at this level drifts extended in each di- rection to determine the extent and value of the ground The property has the ear marks of a big mine. It carries gold, silver and copper values.
 Continued Destruction
 A certain property in the south part of the state had it's mill des- troyed by lightning last winter and the papers have been chronicling the fact ever since as special extra late news and amusing to say it still con- tinues as late news By next Christmas the mill will undoubtedly be entirely consumed then the des- truction of the ground will no doubt regularly proceed until it also is en- tirely consumed.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP

Sporting Editor, Missoulan--I note
in The Missoulan of Friday last that
the Hamilton and Stevensville ball
teams are to play in Stevensvile to-
morrow (Sunday) for 800 side bet.
Your Hamilton correspondent. in
sending this to your paper, says these
/ TWO teams are undoubtedly the
strongest In western Montana. Let
me give you bit of history:
Some six weeks ago | had n call
from Hamilton asking for a game in
Drummond. As the expense would be
too great for either team to entertain
the other at home, suggested that
they meet in. Missoula, both teams
paying their own expenses (the fare
to Missoula being the same from each
town. and offered to play Hamilton
IN Missoula for a side bet of $500 and
bh and 40 OF tht gate receipts Ham
1lton answered that they could not
raise the side bet, and then I offered
to play them at Campbell park for
so and DO of the receipts. They craw-
fished on this. evidently afraid to
play Drummond on any terms.
After this 'backdown ON the part Of
: Hamilton, you will remember that r
sent challenge which was published
, in The Missoulian, offering to plav
any team in Mssoula. Sanders or
Ravalli counties on the same terms.
A side bet OF 800 and 60 and 40 of
the receipts. and neither of the
claimed strongest teams In western
Montana dared to take up the def.
Now, the offer Is still open. and il
the Bitter Root valley teams are
afraid to meet Drummond on Mis-
soula ground, I shall certainly Law
claim, with Justice to the champion
ship of western Montana for the lit
tie town Of Drummond.
