SHIPPING COPPER ORE

c. A. Heyn, who has a lease and
bond on the old Gallagher copper
property in Mason pass, shipped a
carload of high grade ore to the
Western Ore Purchasing company's
sampling works at Hazen a week or
SO ago and received very satisfactory
returns for the product. Another
carload is being shipped this week
from the same property, but we I'M
derstand that this is going to Salt
Lake City direct. Copper is now
about 13h to IA cents a pound and
it takes a pretty good grade of ore
to make satisfactory returns on such
long shipments. The Gallagher
property is said to be responding to
development work very nicely and is
looking better than ever insofar as
making a regular and permanent
producer is concerned. With the Ma
son valley smelter at Thompson in
operation the property would now
be n nice little money maker.-Yer-

GEOLOGICAL REPORT ON
ROCHESTER DISTRICT

The mining public will be inter-
ested in a report by Frank Schrajer
on the now famous gold camp or
Rochester, New, recently issued by
the United States geological survey.
The Rochester district, named by
early prospectors from Rochester, N.
Y, has been known for half a CEN
fury to contain mineral deposits,
both lodes and placers, which have
been worked internationally; but not
until late in 1912 when large bod
les of ore yielding $50 to $50 a ton
we're discovered, did the district at
tract widespread attention. Then
followed a typical Nevada boom. In
less than a month the hitherto DESC
late canyon had a population of over
1000, and more than a score of
properties we're producing. The to-
tai shipments to September, 1914, ex-
ceeded $4,000 600, and from the ma
ture of the deposits Rochester prom
Uses to be an important producing
district for some years to come.
Bulletin 5SO-M contains a concise
account of the local geology and de-
sriptions of the ore deposits in diff
ferent parts of the district. The
lode deposits are replacement veins,
mostly in rhyolite and resemble
those in the mother lode region of
California, both in mineral charac-
ter and in mode and time of origin.
Conditions influencing the persistence
of the veins with depth are consid-
cred, and the conclusion is reached
that whereas a few of the veins are
likely to become lean at compare
lively shallow depths, others prom
Use to maintain or rel increa Sc
their values for a considerable dis
lance below the surface.
The placers also resemble placers
in the Sierra Nevada of California,
as they include both surface grav-
els and gravels buried beneath lava
flows. Descriptions of the placers
in the different canyons are given.

PROF. j. f.. SPURR WILL
OUTLINE NEW WORK

Prof. J. e. Spur, formerly chief
geologist for the United States gov
eminent, but now vice president in
charge of mining for the Tonopah
Mining company of Nevada, was an
arrival in Tonopah yesterday from
Philadelphia. He is here for the
purpose of laying out new work and
will spend considerable time under
ground before announcing his plans,
particularly with regard to the de-
velopment of the Mizpah Extension
company, which was recently taken
over by the Tonopah Mining COM
pany. Announcement as to the loca-
ton of the new working shaft, IL
such means is to be adopted for ex-
ploration Of the ground, will not be
made until he has thoroughly look
ed into the situation. 1t is rumored
that it will be located on the Spar
row claim, but Prof. Spur natural
ly would neither affirm nor deny this
rumor, as it will be dependent en-
tirely upon his conclusion after his
examination of the property is con-
cluded.-Bonanza.

Of special interest and Importance
this week has been the annual meet

that the deep level mining was to go

mean much for the future of these
properties. for it ssure renewed

STRIKE REPORTED

Leo Gallagher and Gus Laurent
have opened up the old Gallagher
mining property in Birch creek, IL
miles southeast of Austin, and from
assays made on ore taken from the
bottom OF a 40-foot incline on a
three-foot ledge, it appears their
find is one of the most important
made in this section this winter. The
ledge has a streak on the footwall
which assays in silver from 500 to
$500 ounces to the ton. The entire
ledge, which varies from a foot to
three feet in width, appears to be
well within the shipping class as 9TH
err assays from the 4O-foot level ran
above 400 ounces.-Austin Heveille.

DIRECTOR LINCOLN ON
PROSPECTING FOR TIN

A recent discovery OF stream tin
at Battle Mountain has led to in
quiries at the Mackay School of
Mines as to the method of prospect
ing for tin and of testing for tin IN
the field. Director Lincoln spent
last year in Bolivia, which Is the
only important tin producing country
in the western hemisphere and makes
the following suggestions covering
these points:
Cassiterite is practically the only
tin ore. 1t is an oxide of tin, Sno 2,
and when pure contains 10 per cent
metallic tin. Cassiterite occurs both
in placer deposits and in lodes, but
up to the present time the greatest
production has come from tin plac-
ers, Bolivia being the only country
whose principal production is from
lodes. The rounded particles of as
siterite occurring in placers are call
ed stream tin.
Cassiterite is a hard, heavy, non
metallic mineral, ranging in color
from light brown to black. 1t is
most readily confused with the OK
ides of iron, hematite and limonite,
whereas limonite has one of four and
having a specific gravity or seven
0ut it is much heavier than these,
hematite one OF five. Moreover,
both the iron oxides r soluble in
acid whereas cassiterite is not at
tackled even by aqua regia.
If the tin prospector carries into
the field some muriatic acid, gran
ulated zinc and a test tube, he car
ter the following Place a
! piece of graduated zinc in the bot
tom of a test tube, put a fragment
of the mineral to be tested on top of
this and cover both zinc and mineral
with muriatic acid. The zinc will
then dissolve with violent bubbling
due to the freeing of hydrogen and
this nascent hydrogen will come in
contact with the mineral. If the
mineral is casiterite, tin will be re-
duced on its surface, forming a sill
very metallic coating. This adheres
so strongly that if the specimen is
rubbed it will polish the coating
without detaching it. If, on the 9TH
err hand, the fragment is not cas-
~siterite, no such coating will be
formed.
Placer tin deposits are in almost
every way similar to placer gold de-
pOsits. The stream tin being heav-
Ter than the rest of the gravel, it
works it's way to bed rock where it
occurs concentrated. Small q%uanti-
ties of fine tin may occur distribu-
ted throughout the upper part Of
the gravel, especially if the valley is
large and the stream small. AS the
prOspector works up stream toward
the urce of the tin, the particles
of stream tin will become more an
gular and larger, just as the gold
colors become rougher and larger
as the prospector approaches a gold
lode. Thus it is that prospecting for
tin placers and tin lodes is in every
respect similar to prospecting for
gold placers and gold lodes, the only
difference being hat it is somewhat
more difficult to determine tin on
sight.
