Sir Walter Scott was sitting in his
library one day when a tall High
lander, who had been erecting an inn
nearby, entered and said:

on Flodden Field it struck me and

Sir Walter, without smile, replied.

TEACHING ORE MINED
BY STEAM SHOVEL

The Calumet & Arizona Mining
company, Warren, Ariz., is working
out plans for treating economically
the 10000, 900 tons of ore which
have thus far been developed at Ajo.
The carbonate pres will be leached,
but it has not yet been decided
whether the copper will be precipi-
tated from solution, by iron or by
another method. The sulphide ores
of which there are $4,000, 900 tons,
have been found to yield a high re-
covery by the lotation process, and
if this method is selected, a very high
saving can be expected. 1t is stated
that several months more will be nee
essary for determining the final
method to be used and that any
definite results should not be expect
ed until fall.
The question of water at Ajo for
the reduction of the ore has been one
which has given the Calumet & Ari-
zona officials some lite concern, al
though as a last resort, if INSULT
cient water were developed at the
property, the management knew it
would always be possible to pump
water from a distance of 40 miles.
About a year ago a we'll was driven,
which encountered a good flow of
water, but no sufficient for all re-
quirements. Recently a drilling
campaign was started, but it was not
until a few weeks ago when a hole
was put down at a considerable dis
lance from those heretofore drilled,
and in an entirely new era, hat any
large quantity of water was encoun-
tered. This we'll which was sunk to
a depth of 700 feet has been flowing
continuously at the rate of 200 gals.
per minute. The management is put
ting down other wells to further de-
velop this section, and there is little
doubt but that ample water for any
size plant determined upon will be
encountered. 1t is estimated that
about 500 gals. per minute will be
required to supply the plant now un-
der consideration as well as all other
needs.-Mining World.

CHINESE REPUBLICS NEW
MINING REGULATIONS

The government of the new Chi
nese republic is starting out to build
a firm foundation for future national
prosperity by adopting new and lib
eral regulations governing mining.
Under the empire mining, like other
industries, vas hampered by exces-
i've taxation and prohibitive regula-
lions. The mining industry could
not be developed without the aid of
foreign capital and foreign enter
prise, but conditions have been such
in the past hat neither were at
tracted. The new regulations, 1t Is
stated, will give full protection to
investors and will permit of free and
untrammeled entry Of foreign capt.
tai for the development of the coun-
try's mineral
An important change has been
made in the law regulating the ac-
quirement of mining lands. Accord
ing to the laws of the empire, the
owner of the surface owned the min
eral beneath, which made the ac-
quirement of mining privileges un-
certain and expensive. Under the
new law the mineral is the property
of the state, and the owner of land
and surface improvements cannot
hold up mining operations by de-
handing exhorbitant prices for his
land, but Is required to sell at cur
rent market rates.
The new area of a mining prop
erty is 10 square Ii (about a square
! mile) for coal lands and five square
Ii for other mineral lands. Still larg-
er areas may be obtained by mining
companies by applying to the min
lister of commerce and industry pro-
|,vided he considers it advisable. I'm
der the old law the area vas small
er. The tax on mineral output has
been reduced from S and 10 per cent
to from 1 to 1.5 per cent. The coun-
try has been divided into eight min
ing districts to which will be at
tached Chinese and foreign technical
experts.
The development Of mining in
| China from its present state of in
significance will apen a large mar
ket for mining and metallurgical
machinery and equipment. A new
field will also be presented for legiti-
mate investment in mining enter
prises.-Mining World.
