YOUTHS RELOCATE
AN ANCIENT MINE
LOCATE CLAIM WHILE ON VACA-
TION ON OLD MAN NOUN
TAIN

Two boys of II who used their va
cation as a time for work rather
than play and thereby found a mine,
have returned to Reno after locat-
ing a claim on Old Man mountain,
near Meadow Lake Camp. says the
Reno Gazette. They are Eldred
Brinkman and Tom Clark, and they
plan to go back next summer and do
their assessment work. George
Clark, Toms father, and John Clark,
his uncle, are near the claim and
will hold it for the two boys.
The assay Of an average sample
across the ledge returned s3S, in
Guiding LA ounces of gold and 2.45
per cent of copper. The ledge is
eighteen feet wide. The claim COW
ers the workings of an old mine,
which was abandoned many years
ago after having been worked in the
earliest days of the gold rush.
John Clark, who lives in Reno,
proposes to spend the winter on the
ground. The usual winter snowfall
in the district is % feet.

ton in gold. AS a comparison of the
values between the 5O0-foot level
and the 550-foot sub-level had shown
a marked increase in favor of the
55O-foot sub-level and 1t was be1iev-
ed that additional depth would prob
ably disclose an ore shoot of COM
mercial value, and in consequence of
this belief a station was cut on the
500-foot level above the winze, a
small electric hoist installed and the
winZe sunk OF the incline to a depth
of zoe feet below the 500 level. A
small station was cut at a point Is
feet above the bottom of the winze
and prosecuting toward the vein
commenced. In sinking the winze a
uniform incline of As degrees from
the horizontal was maintained, and
in consequence the vein which was
irregular in it's dip was not always
visible in the Wine, but at the two
points where the vein was exposed
in the winze, and from which sam
pies were taken, assay returns were
obtained of $3.50 and $12.4o per
ton in gold.
In conclusion, will say that the
south drift along the vein on the 500
level has shown low values for the
entire distance of 521 feet, that the
550-foot sub-level has shown an in
crease in values over the values OBJ
tanned on the 500-foot level, and
that we are now starting develop
ment work from the bottom of the
Wine at a point approximately 635
feet vertically below the surface, and
hope to be able to expose ore of COM
mercial value and quantity on this
level. as indicated by the increase
in values from the 500 level to the
55O-foot sub-level.
In view of the unsettled financial
conditions prevailing throughout the
world at the present time it has
been deemed expedient to reduce the
amount of this call to one cen per
share. and it will be the policy of
the management to conduct develop
ments in the immediate future with
the lowest possible expenditure.
Since the issuance of the last no.
tice of call, one two-inch. four-stage
centrifugal pump has been added to
the company'S equipment.

WORK TO Be RESUMED
ON OLD PROPERTY
NINE NEAR KNOXVILLE, FA-
NOUS IN SEVENTIES, TO BE
OPENED UP

Work is to be resumed on the old
Moonlight mine near Unionville. a
property which was famous in the
early seventies, and is credited with
a production of $750,000, but which
has lain idle for thirty years, says
the Humboldt Star.
The property, which for years be-
longed to the heirs of Mark T. Ash
by, recently passed into the hands Of
George d. Blood, a well-known min
ing operator of Salt Lake City, and
his associates. Arrangements we're
Immediately made for the resump-
ton of operations on the famous old
property, and last Friday Superin-
tendent Palmer left ,mlay with a
complete outfit of supplies and tools
to begin the work of development.
The Moonlight is one of the old
est patented mines in the state. 1t
comprises only one claim, named the
Grant, which is 1000 feet long and
100 feet wide. The claim is made
up of ten of the 100x200 feet claims
of early days.
The property is on Indian creek,
about fifty miles south of Unionville,
and lies between the properties Of L..
F. Dunn and the Manoa Mining COM
pany. The last work on the Moon
light was performed by Mr.. Dunn,
and it is owing to his representa-
tions of the richness of the property
that work is to be resumed where he
left off thirty years ago.
From surface workings on the
Moonlight a slab of nearly solid
metallic silver, nine feet long, four
feet wide and eight inches thick, was
taken. This slab was worth $4,000
and Mr.. Dunn still has a small pock-
ct piece that was sawed from the
end of it. 1t is claimed that from
the surface workings $4,000 was
taken. The only real development
work eevr done on the property was
the sinking of a shaft to a depth
of sixteen feet, at which point water
was encountered and work for some
reason was discontinued and never
resumed, although the shaft had cut
into the ledge with a rich showing of
silver ore
The owner, Mark T. Ashby, was a
rich man, and he would not work
the mine himself or sell it, though
he received many handsome offers
for the property.
Since his death negotiations are
expected to follow, with the result
of a general mining revival in the
entire section between U%nionville
and Rochester.

THE RISE OF CAPTAIN DREYFUS
NOW

Today Dreyfus is not only a
free man, but he has been re-
stored to the French army
with great public ceremony. A
captain when degraded, he
now is a major in a crack ar
tillery regiment that usually is
detailed to all state functions.
Suffering the greatest of hui
Mutations for a soldier for
twelve years. he today is fully
cleared by official proclamation
of the charge of treason, and
has been hOnOred with the dis
tinctior of a commander of
the Legion of Honor. His
champions during his time of
trouble have likewise been
honored. lola, the great
French author. who suffered
imprisonment for his fiery de-
Tense of Dreyfus, is now dead,
but the republic honored his
memory by placing his body
in the Pantheon, the burial
place of the great soldiers of
France. Picquart, a brother
officer. then with the rank of
colonel, who was cashiered
from the army for defending
Dreyfus. was restored with all
honors and promoted to the
rank of brigadier = general.
Dreyfus' enemies have been
COMPOUNDED. Colonel Henry,
formerly connected with the
war office, is dead by his own
hand, after having confessed
to having forged Dreyfus' name
to a document that helped to
send him to Devils island.
Major Esterhazy had publicly
confessed through the London
Chronicle that he wrote the
bordereau, the famous docu-
ment which more than any
thing else brought about the
conviction for treason against
Dreyfus. Esterhazy is now an
exile from France, though not
subject to official punishment
through a recent amnesty law
which pardons all offenders
against the state up to the
year 1911. Today the war
with Germany has Come about,
but not through the machina-
lions of the Dreyfus affair.
Dreyfus' son is fighting for
France on the firing line. and
was recently promoted for
gallantry in battle to the rank
of sergeant.

LUCKY BOY
STRIKE IS GOOD
IMPORTANT FIND OF ORE GIVES
OPTIMISTIC ASPECT IN
CAMP

That the discoveries OF ore in the
big tunnel of the Lucky Boy Consol-
idated Mining company are OF the
greatest Importance to the district
is the belief of Major w. d. ingalls,
OF Reno, who has just returned from
a visit of inspection covering sever
al days, says the Reno Gazette. He
brought back rich specimens OF ore
from the bottom of the 9OO-foot
shaft, containing steel galena, ruby
silver and copper.
Morris Gallagher, general fore
man, who has been in charge Of OPP
erations on the property for six
years, informed Major ingalls, that
the formation vas still in lime. gran
lite and spar characteristic of the old
Lucky Boy properties. The new
find, it is believed, will return VAL
ues of $50 to 5000 a ton, and the
ledge proper was two to three feet
wide when Major ingalls, left camp.
The tunnel, at a point where a drift
was begun to follow the vein cut, is
between the Spencer and George
Brodigan shafts at a point almost
underneath the old Northern Hotel
in the old town of Lucky Boy.
The discoveries of last week in the
workings have caused a general feel
ing of optimism in the camp. Fore
man Gallagher believes the work
could be pushed hard enough to
reach the bottom of the 900-foot
shaft by December and that enough
ere to pay for the operations could
be taken out during the work. The
force of 20 men is driving the tun-
mel ahead at the rate of eight feet
a day in a very hard formation. The
expense of driving the tunnel runs as
high as $25 a foot. Foreman Gal
lagher declared his belief that the
camp will, within twelve months,
support, through legitimate mining,
the largest population in it's history.
He also expressed the belief that
the big tunnel. if extended to Powell
creek, would satisfactorily open the
properties in which the silver values
change to gold.

THEN

Fifteen years ago today
Captain Alfred Dreyfus was
convicted by court martial for
the second time on the charge
of selling French military Sc
crets to foreign powers. 1t
was one of the most sensation
al trials of the age, during
which it was alleged that the
peace of Europe was threat
ened through the "Dreyfus af-
fair" The verdict brought
vigorous protests from the en-
tire civilized world, which was
convinced of the captains in
nocence. Arrested five years
before, he had been convicted
by his superior officers at a
court martial, degraded before
army comrades, transported
to Devils island to expiate the
alleged crime, and had been
through the efforts of influen-
tial friends, brought back to
France for a re-trial. The eyes
of the world we're turned upon
the court at Rennes, where
the Semetic army officer, the
first Hebrew ever to have en-
tered the staff of the French
army, was battling for his
honor. Four hundred jour
nalists from the four corners
of the earth rubbed elbows
with society women, some of
whom had paid as much as
$500 for a seat. Sensation
followed sensation during the
trial, but none was more
startling than that testimony
given by General MERCER, the
former minister of war. He
averred that during the Drey-
fus affair the German ambas-
sador at Paris had delivered
an imperative demand that
certain papers, alleged to have
been stolen from the German
embassy, be returned to Ger
many. "From eight O'clock"
said the general while the au-
dience hung breathless on his
revelation of a crisis in the
destiny of France, until after
midnight the president of the
republic, the prime minister
and I waited to know whether
war or peace would be the out
come of the negotiations. We
we're within a hairs breadth
of war;"

MAY make CYANIDE
IN UNITED STATES
COUNTRY HAS ABUNDANCE OF
RAW MATERIAL FOR IT'S
MANUFACTURES

In view of the stoppage of the
freight supply of cyanide and cyan
ogen compounds and its effect not
only on the extraction of gold and
silver in the mining industry, but
also its effect on many electrical and
chemical industries, Baxeres de Al
zugaray, in IN article in the Mining
and Engineering World, discusses
the source of the raw products and
the possibility of manufacturing it
in this country.
A considerable quantity of cyan
ides escape from the blast furnaces,
as fumes and fiue dust, from which
large amounts Of potassium cyanide
can be recovered by methods anala-
gous to those in practice to purify
gas. Cyanide is produced not only
in iron blast furnaces, but also and
in large quantities in copper and
lead furnaces and in a general way
in any metallurgical apparatus
wherever the nitrogen of the blast
acts on hot carbon mixed with al
kalies. Fumes and gases issuing
from these producers car be con
densed and the cyanide contents sep
arated therefrom.
In the publication of coal gas by
hydrated iron oxide, large amounts
of cyanide are continually obtained;
this has been an old-time supply.
The extension of the %by-product
coke ovens, replacing the wasteful
beehive ovens, constitute an abund-
ant source of nitrogen products from
which large quantities of cyanides
can be obtained.
The beet sugar industry is another
well-knOwn source of cyanide,
which is obtained as one of the by
products by the treatment of resid-
ual vinasse.
Formerly most of the potassium
ferrocyanide from which other cyan
ogen compounds were made was OBJ
tanned by fusion of dry refuse ami
matter at a red heat, together with
potassium carbonate and iron filings.
About 5000 tons of cyanides were
yearly produced by this method. The
scarcity of hoofs, horns and scrap
leather and the competition of syn
thetic cyanides have relegated this
old method.
Cyanides can also be made from
atmospheric nitrogen; by synthesis
between carbon disulphide and am
monia; by ammonia, charcoal and
alkali, and from sulphocyanides.
There are several hundred pat
ents (many of them in %operation)
which have been applied for during
the last twenty years, relating to
the preparation of cyanides, from
nitrides, etc.
teal methods for the preparation of
cyanides by these various methods
would be too long. These brief
notes show plainly the abundance of
materials which we have within our
reach, to create an Independent ma
tional industry, which could not only
produce all the cyanide required to
supply our home industries, but
also to reverse our former trading
practice of importing cyanides by
becoming exporters of our excess of
production to other sections of our
continent, to Australasia, South At
RIGA, and to the eastern gold pro-
ducing countries.

JUMBO Elk. MINE PLAN

per cent of copper, and to the smell
ters all that yielding lore than $40
in gold, irrespective of the copper
content.
"Since we began shipping practi-
cally the entire output of the mine
to the Consolidated mill, about
three months ago. we have closely
watched the results obtained. We
have found that we can make more
money by shipping to the smelters
ore assaying above $40 in gold and
less than one per cent copper, get
ing ni~nety-five per cent OF the value
of the gold content, than by sending
the same class of ore to the mill
and concentrating it, on account of
the low red metal content. How
ever, on ore carrying less than $40
in gold and averaging more than
n per cent copper, we can get bet
ter results by concentration at the
Consolidated mill than by shipping
it to the shelters. The concentra-
tion on the grade of ore we will
continue to send to the local mill
has been entirely satisfactory. In
dollars and cents the mine will pro-
duce just as much under the new
arrangement as the old, and it is eX-
pected that the net profits will be
ever greater. This will be made

break down from five to six feet of
ore, the best of the vein, where in
the past we have extracted from
eleven to twelve feet OF a lower
grade on the average. The lower
grade ore will be left in the mine for
future extraction"
During the last week there has
been little change in the conditions
prevailing in the mine. Above the
east drift on the S50-foot intermedi-
ate level stope 414D is being ad-
vanced on three to four feet of SIS
ore. A similar grade and width of
ore is being extracted from the
eastern end of stope 422A above the
same drift, while raise for eXplor-
atory purposes is being put up from
the western extremity.
On the 790-foOt level of the Vel
vet. a raise was started on four to
five feet of low-grade ore which was
recently exposed by a short crosscut
