The Ore Finder

A true story came to light a short
lime back regarding a real manu-
featured instrument for finding ore.
it wasn't willow stick. or a di-
viriEg rod but a real sure enough
ore finder and it was discovered in
that very important mining center
near Globe.
The cedulous one had seen the in
strument in a house where he was
boarding whilst engaged in looking
over the district, at last his curiosity
compelled him to ask the landlady
what il was and she said it was left
there by man and it was an in
strument for locating ore. In the
course of time and after repeated
conversations it was agreed that the
curious one should pay the landlady
$25 for half interest in the instru
ment and in all ore bodies discovered
they we're to share and share alike.
But selTishEess got the better of the
lodger and he concluded to make 4
$50 offer for the ore finder then all
the mines discovered would be his
own. The offer was made and eager
IN accepted and after q few SugGeS-
tions as to the use of the instrument.
the new owner started out to find the
bonanzas. But after n great deal Of
time spent, worry and bother. he
asked the advice of others regarding
the manner of rightfully using the

proven. that it was an opthalmoscope
or eye tester used by opticians for
determining what glasses were re
quired by their patients. This dis

instrument so mad. that he swOre all
kinds of languages ut his late land
lady and demanded the return of his
money. but all she would do was to

jury and he became so enraged that
he entered suit in the justice court

Advance in Quicksilver

Quicksilver is now quoted at $3.50
per flask of 70 pounds, an advance
of $50 per flask in about four weeks
and a new high record.
In normal times the price of quick
silver ranges from $35 to $40 per
flask, and just before the war it was
selling at S3675 per flask.
The production of quicksilver in
this country is a gradually receding
one In 1914 the output was 16,-
500 TASKS and this year it will be
about the same. OF late years the
output has been decreasing at the
rate of between 5000 and 10000
TASKS annually.
The recent rise in price has been
due primarily to the fact that i'm
ports are no longer possible. en-
5argoes have been placed on ship
ments from Austria. Spain and Italy.
The receding supply in this coun-
try has for some time forced DOM
este manufacturers to rely to an in
creasing extent upon foreign i'm
portations and as no foreign quick
silver is now coming through. the
present sensational quotations are the
result.
Boston's interest in the industry is
represented by the New Idria Quick
silver Mining Company, which this
year will produce about 5000 TASKS
at a cost OF $50 per flask.
The only other large single pro-
Queer in this country is the ChisOs
mine, a private corporation owning
q property in Texas which produces
between 1000 and 5000 TASKS a
year.

Quick Silver Deposits North of

The pamphlet recently published by

a geological standpoint, sampling and
general conclusions There was sew

pied and showed a continuous run
of low grade material the results
from this, would have been obtained
had there been any desire to do so.
The reference to the location of the
property could have been equally
well applied to any property in Ari-
IONA until it became a producer Dis
lance is but little if you have the
material. However we are pleased
to quote the favorable points. re-
garding the properties gone over.
The geologic facts of occurrences
and the sampling by Mr.. Hutchinson
indicate that the parts of the lodes
of mina5le dimensions now exposed
TO view carry no more than or
per cent of quicksilver at the most,
although exceptional stringers here
or these which might be sorted out
from the broken ore are of much
higher grade. To obtain a to 4
per cent product-that is. $50 to $50
ore at present prices-cOnsiderab
sorting would have to be done. with
rejection of three fourths or more of
the rock broken. The chances for
obtaining consider BILE quantities Of
. per cent or $40 ore with only
moderate sorting appear to be good.
When it is remembered that the
New Idra mine in California, the
largest producer of quicksilver in the
United States has for some years
been making substantial profits on
ore from which O.5 to l per cent of
quicksilver is won. it is evident that
the Mazatzal deposits have consid-
cradle promise. Although costs are
probably lower in California than in
Arizona, the situation of the Idria
mine is comparable with that of the
Arizona deposits in that the mine has

The Silver Mines

The world wide demand for silver
for coinage and the resulting advance
in the price of the white metal has
activity in the shares of sill
yer producers, like Ontario, Batopilas,
the Cobalts and others.
Cost of production for silver is
difficult TO estimate, since the metal
has been for years largely a by
product of the lead. copper and zinc
mines. The fall in the price of silver
after the adoption of the gold stan
dard by most of the important ma
lions, drove many mines out of bust
ness before quotations had reached
present levels.

Ole MINES Of ARIZONA

tll W.
This sampling should be directed
particularly to the estimation of the
probably available quantity of ore
of the minimum grade that can be
profitably worked, without sorting.
To what width, for example, can a,
lode be mined rs a whole to get a
to per cent ore and how much
of such ore can reasonably be con-
sidered available?
Facts that promise well for flu
ture exploitation are the undoubted
persistence of the lodes for long
distances over the surface and the
lack of any evidence of decrease of
tenor with increase in depth.
Lindgrcn states that no quicksilver
deposit has been worked to a depth
of 1000 feet below its outcrop. On
the other hand. the work already done
on these deposit gives no founda-
ton for a belief that the cinnaba is
less abundant at moderate depth
than near the surface.
The report further refers to the
crude plant erected on one of the
properties but this does not apply to
the other three group of claims,
which are of a very promising ma
ture well numeralized, strong in
width and persistent continuity and
there seems to be little doubt would

cally opened up and there is evil
dence that much work will be taken

value to continuous production. The

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING


There seems to be a tendency on the
part Of the present legislature to re-
duce the amount Of protection given 10
fish and game In general, The Re
former does not favor this attitude. IL
might be well perhaps to modify the
deer law in such way as TO make
possible reduction in the number of
does, thus reducing the damage to or
chards and gardens in this part of the
state, but in the main our FISH and
game laws are about right as they are
Continual tinkering with these stat
utes is bound To result in misunder-
standing and unintentional violation,
and no matter how many changes are
made it will be impossible to suit
everybody. The Reformer is of the
opinion, however, that the enactment
of law requiring FISHERMEN to pay a
rod license Of 81 year would meet
with general approval, and there is no
doubt that it would improve fishing in
both lake and stream by furnishing
more money for stocking purposes
