covery of metal values from the ores
is in excess of that obtained at any
copper reduction plant in the world
where concentration of ores is neces-
sary, with the proposed changes in
our methods we expect an additional
recovery of metals amounting to about
20 per cent. The Importance of this
additional saving in extending the life
of the mines is readily apparent when
lit is realized that these Improvements
if applied to ore of the grade at pres
ent mined, would mean an additional
copper return of approximately 50,-
900. 900 pounds a year, without in
creasing the tonnage of ore produced.

PENSION ARIZONA MINERS.
Unique and Happy Ending of Long
PERIODS of Service
(RfGhpp RpVipW)

In recognition of their long ana
faithful service the Copper Queen
Consolidated Mining company has no.
titled John Detloff and Jack Williams,
better known as "Burley Jack" thai
they are entitled to receive pension
under the system of pensions recent
ly inaugurated by that company. Mr..
Detloff has been in the employ Of the
company for 20 years and Mr.. Will
liams for 25
An interesting feature of the re-
tirement of Mr. Williams is that upon
the last day of his work for the com
pany he was directed by Mr. Hodg-
son to take Mr. Detloff and go into
the 3-247 drift of the Car mine and
blast round of holes that he had
drilled 23 years ago, with one of the
Burley drills. The two men blasted
this round, and were then sent on top
and told that that was all they need
they were to receive their pensions.
This drift was stopped at the time
"Burley Jack" drilled the holes and
it was only recently that it was de-
cided to again drive it. Mr.. Williams
evidenced great pride and pleasure in
being permitted to perform his last
shift in this fitting manner.
Mr., Detloff and Mr.. Williams are
two of the best "old-timers" in the
district, and their retirement from ac-
tive service under these circumstances
will be a source of great pleasure to
their many friends.

OENANDFOR GOLD MINES
CAUSED BY GREAT WAR
FORMER IDAHO MAN DISCUSSES
MINING SITUATION
MAJOR REED.

Joseph Hutchinson, lieutenant gov
ernor under Governor Steunengerg
and for years superintendent of the
Trade Dollar Mining & Milling COM
pany of Silver City, arrived in Boise
Wednesday evening to spend the
Christmas holidays with relatives.
Mr.. Hutchinson is now living in
San Francisco, but is extensively en-
gagged in mining in the Nevada. fields
He left Idaho in 1904, going to Alaska.
After remaining in the cold climate
for two years he took up his residence
in Goldfield, New.
| Mr.. Hutchinson conceived and work.
ed out the plan which resulted in the
coordination in Goldfeld known as the
Goldheld Consolidated. After doing
this promotion work he was forced to
sue for his commission. This case he
carried to the supreme court and was
awarded the decision, which gave him
his commission of 100000 shares at a
par value of $40 per share.
Frisco Stands Pat.
Speaking of the gold mining sltua-
ton as he conceives 1t. Mr.. Hutch
inson said: "rhe European war has
made this country a nation of WEIGH
ers. The closing Of the stock ex-
changes in this country put us in the
role Of welchers. But through all of
those critical times the mining ex-
change of San Francisco refused to
close its doors. History is repeating
itself and by reason Of the war clouds
gold mining has become active and
will continue to become still more ac-
tive.
"As result of the keeping open of
the San Francisco exchange, gold
stocks became most active, and Gold
field received a great advantage there
from. Mining values consequently
have increased since the war began
| from 100 to 1000 per cent"
Only Gold Good.
| "The war has drawn the attention
of the world to the value of gold.
Nothing else is of real value in the
worlds markets. Therefore, in my
judgment, there is coming the great
est revival in gold mining that the
world has ever known. There will be
no validating, but any man with
Legitimate showing in any of the west
ern states will have no trouble in nm
ancing gold mines which can show o.
! real value"
Mr.. Hutchinson said he was vice
president of the Idaho society in san
Francisco and that o. e. jackson, the
former Boise attorney, was president
There are some $50 members of the
society, and they are enthusiastic IN
their support of the Gem state.
Praise for Reed.
Mr.. Hutchinson was present WIN
| Governor Hawley when he selected
the site on the exposition grounds for
! the Idaho building, and through the
invitation Of Major Fred r. Reed, MI
Hutchinson was chairman Of the day
when the Idaho building was dedicat-
ed.
Mr.. Hutchinson said he could not re-
frain from saying that Major Reed was
one of the most prominent men con-
Injected with the exposition, and that
wherever he went people knew.mofg ~
about Idaho than they had known oe-
fore he came.
