Fishermen, with their usual happy
dispositions. can find the silver lining
to every cloud. Despite the fact that
fish in the Potomac are apparently as
scarce as hens teeth" the campers
along the river are not weeping. -..
There are dozens of summer camps To-
Potomac. Some of them are close to
the waters edge. some are sheltered
under the trees further back, while
others with the individuality of their
owners, are perched upon some ap-
parently perilous crag or ledge where
the camper may survey all below him
as a monarch of his domain.
To be ideal, the summer camper looks
to the river for his breakfast. It is =
delightful theory that. arising with the

MAKE TEST RUN OF
IRWIN CANYON MILL

Guy l.. Gallagher who is developing
the Shepherd claim in Heath canyon
with his partner, William Miles, has
sen to the First National bank of
Ely 31R ounces of gold bullion
which was recovered from Shepherd
ore put through the Irwin mill at
Irwin canyon. The bullion will be
forwarded by the bank to the United
States assay office in Salt Lake to
be exchanged for coin of the realm
and credited Gallagher and Miles.
Judging from the value of former
shipments of bullion obtained from
milling other ore from the Shepherd
in the Irwin mill, the value of the
bullion in the hands of the bank to-
day is about $500 and is the result
of milling nine and One-half tons of
ore. In a letter to the ExpOsitOr Mr..
Gallagher gives these figures and
states the saving was only about so
per cent as the sample heads taken
when the ore vas being run was as
sayed and showed a value of $50 a
toH. DuL d COHSlucId Dle dHlOult Vi
concentrates was saved and it is be-
lieved they will be found to contain
a large portion of the other so per
cen of the value which we're not
caught on the plates.
Mr.. Gallagher states the ore
streak in the mine is looking as good
as it has at any time and that it is
the intention of himself and Miles to
"ontinne development work along the
present lines in the expectation of
developing the property to a paying
basis. Heath canyon is in Nye coun-
ty some miles north of the Willow
creek district and a number of fine
gold prospects have been opened
which appear to hold promise of
proving profitable when developed

An occasional contributor" in
Mining and Scientific Press says:
The sale of the control of the Au-
rora Consolidated Mines company of
Aurora, New, to the Goldfeld Con-
solidated Mines company brings to
light some interesting facts. 1t dem
onstrates that there is a demand for
good mining properties with no lack
of purchasers; that there is a chance
for old camps to revive; that new
methods in milling are making mil
lions of tons of low-grade ore profit
able, and that the distance from a
railroad does not deter the building
of an excellent mill and equipping
the property throughout with the
most efficient and up-to-date machin-
cry.
Just before the sale of the control
of the property by Jesse Knight to
George Wingfield and Albert Burch,
representing the Goldfield Consoli-
DATED, there were in Salt Lake City
four other interests actively bidding.
1t required ~$3SS,O00 in cash to close
the bargain, with notes from the
Goldfield Consolidated endorsed by
Mr.. Wingfield for the remainder.
Among those who made verbal or
written offers for the property were
Morton Weber; a Toronto engineer,
representing Ellis P. Earle. president
of the Nipissing; John w. Finch,
representing the Amalgamated Cop
per interests; representatives from
the United States Smelling, Refining
& Mining company. and o. j. Sails
bury of Salt Lake City, who is believ-
ed to have represented certain por-
phyry copper interests.
In the sixties Aurora was n of
the big mining camps of the west, as
witnessed by the ruins of the build
ings. 1t was in this camp that Mark
Twain made his home, and so down
at the heel was he at the time, it is
said. that he collected champagne
bottles and scattered them about his
back door to give his little cabin an
air Of prosperity. During the life
of this camp, it is reported to have
had a production of $30,0O0,0 600 and
no less than 13 mills were built at
the various mines. When work was
first started on the Aurora CONSOLE
dated in September, 1912, there were

NORTH MOUNTAIN Co,
WILL WORK AGAIN

More activity in mining is promis-
ed for the Cherry Creek district and
its vicinity through the reorganiza-
ton of the North Mountain Mining
company which owns properties on
the north side and near the west end
OF Egan canyon. This company has
been inactive for about fifteen years
but in Salt Lake recently the COM
pany held a meeting and elected Of
ficers when it was announced that
mining operations are to be resumed.
John Dern of Mercur mine fame,
is president of the company, the 9th.
err officers and directors being, John
G. Heinrich, vice-president; George
H. Dern, secretary-treasurer, j. c..
Dick and C.. w. Poole of Salt Lake
and George w. Joseph of Portland.
For a number of years the COM
pany has maintained a Waterman at
the property and a couple of months
ago the present Waterman, George
Kelsey, after working for a long
time alone driving a tunnel into a
Cldlil OWucu ny Hlm uutll nc hdu
penetrated the mountain a distance
of about 800 feet, found a fine ledge
of gold bearing ore which was re-
ported to be ten inches wide and to
carry high values, some samples that
were assayel showing $3.50 to
than $500 in gold.
Resumption of mining by the North
Mountain will be hailed with delight
in Cherry Creek as it will mean
steady employment for many men.
Inc old workings of the mine r in
bad shape and but for this fact the
property would likely have been
worked during the last few years by
leasers; but examinations showed
that considerable dead work would
have to be done before production
could be commenced. These eX-
aminations are said to have proven
the existence of high grade streaks
as we'll as large quantities of low
grade ore.-EXpositor.

PURCHASE Of AURORA CONS. IS
MATTER Of GENERAL INTEREST

by actual count fourteen people in
the once fiourishing town. Today
Aurora has about 800 inhabitants,
and theer are nine places where Ii
quid refreshments are poured.
The nearest railroad point to the
camp is Thorn, New, on the South
ern Pacific, from where there r.
two stages running to Aurora each
day, covering the 80 miles in about
two hours time. On account of the
grade, all the freighting into the
camp is by way of Hudson, New, on
the Nevada Copper Belt Line, which
is a distance of 81 miles from
Aurora.
1t was in 1912 that Charles E.
Knox and John H. Miller secured an
option on the Cain Consolidated Min
ing compny property. which owned
the principal mining claims in the
camp of Aurora. They succeeded in
interesting Jesse knight and the
Aurora Consolidated was organized.
In September of that year work was
started in a small way and continued
until June, 1913, when it was de-
cided to build a 5O0-ton mill. w.
Lester Mangum was made general
manager. Morris P. Kirk and John
H. Leavell of the firm of Kirk &
Leavell, were given instructions to
design the mill, and Mr.. Leavell,
with the title of manager, was placed
in charge of the development of the
property and the construction of the
mill. Mr.. Kirk became the consult
ing engineer. Ground was broken
for the mill on June 20, 1918, and
on June Is, 1914, the crushing of
ore was started. Since then the
amount handled has been gradually
increased.
Although the number of mining
claims brought into the company by
the Cain Consolidated was quite
large. many more have been added.
The management of the Aurora has
during the past year purchased a
number of others, until today there
are SO claims held under patent or
in the process of ~patenting. En-
braced in this territory are some of
the most famous claims of the camp,
having between 10000 and 40, 900
feet of underground workings.

LARGE PREHISTORIC
FAMILY DESCRIBED

Everyone is familiar with CLAIMS
and snails, and many are acquainted
with the pearly or chambered nau-
titus. These shellfish represent the
three main classes of the M~ollusca,
one of the great divisions of the ami
NAL kingdom, which has existed since
the earliest recognized advent of life
upon the globe, many millions of
years before man first inhabited 1t.
The cephalopods, the class which in
cludes the chambered nautilus, are
the most highly organized of all the
Mollusca. They breathe by gills and
are exclusively marine. The cephal-
opods have comparatively few rep
resentatives living today, yet in the
past they were very abundant, the
remains of ove 7OCC species having
been found. One OF the subdivisions
of the cephalopods, the ammonoids,
are now extinct, but of this particu-
lar group nc less than 5000 species
have been described from their fos-
sill remains. During past geologic
time these interesting invertebrates
were very abundant and may have
been the masters of the sea for a
long period.
To the scientist these fossil capha-
lopods are of especial value as mark
ers of geological time. They were
co h;rh1xy Iauo1Dn1J - % ~
sensitive to changes in the condition
of the sea, and hence were con-
stantly changing during the different
geologic epochs.
An interesting feature of the am
monoids is the complete record Of
shell. Each individual lives in a
shell which it manufactures by it's
own secretions, and when it out
grows the portion in which it re-
sides it simply moves forward and
builds a shell partition behind itself.
Hence the shell becomes chambered.
and the earlier portions enclosed
within the latter therefore constitute
a record of the development of the
individual. By a careful study of this
and other groups it has been found
that animals in their development
go through the various stages repre-
sentative of their remote ancestors.
In the more highly developed ami
mails with which we are familiar,
such as the cat, this series of chang
es recapitulating ancestral conditions
takes place in miniature in the en-
bryo, and after birth the animal has
only to increase in size. In the am
monoids, however. this series of
changes is recorded in the shell of
\ he animal.
