vein Of gold after all? He smiled again.
He would find it
Then there was that girl whose vi.
vacity and beauty he had heard so
much about.
Some instinct told him that Gallon
must be ever thinking of him. and
with the dramatic impulse of man
who has long nursed the hope of bitter
vengeance, he planned his reappear-
ance- He would find his old partner
alone, and there and then they would
once more have 1t out This was the
reason that be had not taken the motor

Big Placer Teal on
 Desert IS Closed.

The closing of the deal for the talk ing over under an option of the l,S00 acres of placer ground and the eight quartz claims owned by Harry Shu- mate of tbis city, situated on the desert near Quartzlte, was gwen pub llclty yesterday.
 J. A. Woods. of Bridgeport, Tll., and associates acquire the holdings mak- ing quite heavy payment. Work is now under headway on a small scale to ascertain valuations on the big tract at several points large exploration to be suspended until the warm weather ends in the fall.
 Contract, have been closed for in, stalling over 30, ,0O0S worth of specially designed machinery with which to be- gin operating. A Stebbns concentra tor and Quinner cruSher wilt be in operation. Preceding the deal being closed, several test runs were made by Woods and others to ascertain absolute placer valuations, and the results were astounding.
 In that field, four other companies are at work on the placer beds, and sales are also pending for the purchase of quartz mines. These mines are situated in Cave Creek district, and in the region of the Plomosas range. That field is attracting the attention of capital, and it is believed that when large exploration :s given. this fail, some surprises will be forthcoming- Prescott Jourpal- Miner.

Flotation Process
 for Gibson Mine.

Although the Gibson mine is yield ing about 300 tons of high grade ore monthly to the lessees still busy in the property, the expiration of the present scientific "gutting" of the property's richest strngsrs to the detriment of the mine's future.
 Messrs. O. B. Kemp, G. A. Whit ford, James R. Davis and P F. Car ney have mapped out a future of eco- homie development and production that will place the Gibson on the basis of a producer for years to come and will inevitably lead to ore production by the many smaller properties in that section of the Miami district.
 Mir. Kemp says that an oil Notation plant of 100 cons or greater capacity will be installed at the Gibson mlne before the summer is over, but that the minor details of the property's ex. ploitation have not yet been fully "oi nSN ouo oy iio dSSoSidVSS, who recently secured control of the mine. He said that tests conducted with Gibson ores near Los Angeles have resulted in a recovery of S5 per cent of the copper content.
 As the Gibson ore is almost exclu- sively a chalcopyrite. occurring in an even schist gangue, it is an ideal proposition for treatment by the oil Notation treatment. Whether Kemp and associates will erect mill them selves or have the work done by the Minerals Separation company has not yet been decided.
 Kemp says it IS possible that a great CT supply of water will be developed on the southern end of the property, for although abundance of water for milling purposes could be secured by more sinking in the main shaft the necessity of q domestic supply would make the development of the surface supply on the southern end of the Gibson preferable. le.-Globe Silver Belt.

Cochise SmeIter Production.

April was marked by probably the largest production in the history of the shelter at Douglas amounting to approximately twenty million pounds of copper, This result, chiefly due to the increased production of the Cop per Queen shelter for the month, is to be ascribed to the shipment of the Miami concentrates there, owing first to the disa bling of one furnace at the Cananea shelter and later to the en- tire closing down of the plant.
 Miami concentrates will continue to go there indefinitely, until such time as the Cananea company decides to re- open it's properties.
 The Copper Queen production for April, according to official figures ob- tained at the shelter yesterday, amounted to approximately F, 76O, ,OOO pounds.
 C. x A. production was announced from the company's office in Bisbee to be approximately 6,SO0,00O.
 The Shattuck management stated that approximately l.3O0,OO0 pounds of copper has been made for it at the C.. X A. smelter at Douglas.

A Futile Effort to "BuIl" Silver

The Engineering and Mining Journ- al notes that "Jhe recent marketing of the last of the silver stocks in London and the closing out of the syndlcate which has been carrying the market for four months past, marks the close of an episode which has affected the silver situation for over three years. The Indian syndicate, to which ire. quent references have been made in our columns, started in with a view to controlling the market and advancing cessful The attempt was really de stined to failure, because the produc. tion of silver in the world is too large to be handled by any one group of specuators. Desperate efforts were made, however, to maintain the so- called corner. The rush of new SUD- plies, however, and the postponement of coinage purchases by the Indian government were too much for the spectators, and crisis was reached with the failure of the Indian Specie Bank last Decem Der, with stocks of between t3,000,OO0 and e4,OOO, 100 in silver. To prevent a disastrous break in silver, which would probably have had serious effect on other marke cts, syndicate was hastily formed. This syndicate tOok oVpr the StncxS of Si yar
 and has since been quietly but actively engaged in marketing them. The pro- cess was much assisted by a current shortage ot supplies, largely due to
Mohave County miner., 1914-05-09

the troubles in Mexico. It was so conducted that the market has re- manned nearly at a level, closing a triie higher than it was when the syndicate took charge. The silver market is now free from any large speculative interest, and ought to be ruled by ordinary supply and demand. As supplies are short, the conditions rather favor maintenance of prices for the present."
