Old Problem in Copper Mining

Old Problem in Copper Mining
1t is now forty.eight years since
the first Efforts were made 10 work
what is known as the Nonesuch lode OF
copper ore in Ontonagon County.
Michigan. Since then various groups
Of men have interested themselves in
this property. one company sinking
over S400, 900 in it The trouble is not
that the rock does not carry enough
copper il Is the richness of il that
has led to the expenditures of fortunes
in experimenting with 1t. The copper
occurs in very fine PARTICLES OF flakes,
which, with the ordinary methods Of
separation, are carried off with the
water. The White Pine Mining Con.
pany now working on the lode has fin
ally solved the problem and is about
70 erect mill with capacity of 1000
tons of rock day. The concentrating
machinery comprises gyratory crush
ers, rolls. conical pebole mills. and
Wiley tables. In the pebble mills, =
very important part of the scheme,
the copper bearing rock is ground to
fine powder by being ohurned In a
conical chamber with hard finty
pebbles.
Thus IL is that the mineral wealth
of district Is derived not altogether
from prospecting for new deposits, but
often from the Invention of new ma
chimes and the working out of new
methods OF treatment which make il
possibl to work at profit deposits

poor or too difficult to work. AS a
matter OF fact. in the older districts.
such as the copper district Of Miohi-
gan. the old type of prospecting for
rich finds has largely disappeared. and
IN its place has come the seeking for
less wasteful or more efficient mining
methods, for cheaper power for driv
ing machinery. for methods OF concen
trating that will recover n larger per
centsge OF the copper, for drilling ma
chimes that will reduce the amount Of
expensive heavy hand labor. The first

Since their introduction, the copper

GOODS STOLEN FROM X. r. CARS
No trace of the furniture belonging
20 DR.. r. p. Lockart, which was stolen
from box car three weeks ago, has
been obtained by the police. A quiet
search has been made of the entire dis
trict but no clew developed that would
lead to a discovery OF the missing fur
niture or identity of the thieves.
DR. Lockart shipped his furniture
TO Palaka about three weeks ago, pre-
paratory to moving into the new resi-
dence built for him by the Verona
Mining company. The car was switch
ed TO a side track and the next day
when teamsters went to the car they
found tie seal had been broken and a
good poi ton of the furniture removed.
Among he articles stolen was $l25
rug. The total loss amounts to be-
tween 1909 and 5000.
The sal was intact when the car
was syitched onto the sidetrack.
Some me during the night the car
was broken open and it is supposed a
wagoa hauled the furniture away.
When lie theft was discovered il was
repor IA to the police of Palatka, Iron

in the district could y trace of the
missing articles be obtained. The

Z DICKERING AND DELAY
TAKEN AS BAD SIGN
-
Looks As IL Rich G0thamite
Fears To Take Chances
Needed In Baseball
By HAROLD v. WILCOX.

The news that the Ruppert-Huston
deal for the New York Yankees Is
likely to fall through will be received
by the American league with much
less regret today than IT, would d week
ago The continued stalling and dick
ering over the difference between
$45O,000 and 100000, which repre-
sents the price offered for the Yam
hees and the amount asked by Far
rell, has led American league mag
mates to wonder whether or not Col.
Rupert, despite his immense wealth,
would be desirable acquisition TO the
Gotham corner of the circuit.
The purchase OF baseball team,
like the purchase of player, is alto
gether different from a real estate
deal. Il is in reality a gamble. The
profits are big and the losses are big,
They all depend on thousand and
che things, and luck stands for more
than the one. IL the Yankees are
worth $450,000 to Rupert, they are
worth 100000. II he wants 10 get
into baseball and gamble the coin on a
successful season In the manner in
which baseball owners must specu-
late, that 5000 is not enough 10
bloCk' the uedl, duy more IMAM q piO-
portionate sum would be enough to
block the deal for seat to the stock
exchange.
OF course, il Rupert can buy the
Yanks for $4,000 less than Farrell
wants TO sell for, that is TO his ad-
vantage, but the American league is
beginning TO fear that the colonel, If
he does get into the game, will pursue
the same penny wise and pound fool
ish' policy of delay and dickering in
the matter of building up his team.
IL he does, the new manager will have
the same experience that Chance had.
stars that happen to be on the market
will be grabbed from under Ruppert's
nose, and the Yanks never will be
built up to the strength that New
York club should have. Certainly Rup-
pert's manner in dealing with Farrell
has not shown him to possess the tenn
permanent and willingness to take
chance that the new owner OF the
Yankees should have.
With Farrell, the case is different
III he thinks 100000 is what his team
is worth, he is entitled 10 ask that
amount. With him it's a case.of take

hard pressed for money, il is under
