Needless to say. Mr.. Geisler has
had wide experience in dealing with
the mineral stored in Natures lab

ing tests for chemicals that have here
tofore been supplied in European
countries now at war. incidentally,
Mr.. Geisler remarked that one bene-
fit of the present war for this would
be an awakening of the American
people to the necessity OF putting high
tariff on great many chemicals here
tofore furnished by European coun-
tries, but which could just as well be
secured at home

SCARLET FEVER IN RENO

By reason of the fact that there are
twenty-six cas-s of scarlet fever in
Reno at the present time, City Health
Officer DR.. w. l.. Samuels declares
that any violatcrs of the quarantine
law in the city whether it be patients
or physicians, will be made shining
examples of, as the council and health
board will enforce to the very letter
the quarantine law. The city health
officer stated that undoubtedly there
will be several more cases develop by
noon there were but cases reported
and after that time five more were
brought to light DIR. Samuels states
that in one case a patient had been
discharged as cured and upon making
investigation he found that the boy
was in that stage of the disease when
he was 'peeling off, which is consid-
cred one of the most contagious
stages of the disease. Among those
who have been strickcn with the fever
is M, +. Wilson, a prominent drug
gist and former head of the Depart
ment of Chemistry at the State Uni
versity.-Reno Journal
Reports received later indicate that
the number of cases had increased to
sixty. The rapid spread of the dis
ease is said to be due to disregard Of
quarantine regulations for which sew
eral families and the attending physi-
clans are blamed So far the cases
developed are of the mild form, but
there is always danger that the epi-
demic may become virulent 1t is
doubtful whether the schools closed
this week on account of the Teachers
Institute will be opened until all dan
ger of contagion is past.

By A. J. Orem.

Among new and interesting things
which are to be seen at the Nevada
Douglas properties is the companys
evaporator. 1t has always been puz-
BILE to evaporate so much water as
would be required to leach the ore
values. The mental picture of humid
reds of shallow pans heated by a
series of pipes disappears when one
sees the plant Then one realizes how
incorrect preconceived notions have
been.
The evaporator building is filled
with a series of inch square wooden
Stats, attached together about one-half
inch apart in convenient numbers and
lengths to handle, and placed in layers
one above another, each successive
layer being crosswise from the one
Immediately above or below it. This
arrangement gives over 100000 square
feet of evaporating surface.
After recipitating the copper, the
iron sulphide solutions are pumped to
the top OF this evaporator building
Then by series of troughs or fumes,
the top of the evaporating surface, and
the solutions are distributed all over
and allowed to trickle down through
to the bottom. 1t can readily be seen
that with such an immense surface ex-
posed in the dry atmosphere evapora-
ton would take place very rapidly.
However, to facilitcte evaporation heat
from the Wedge furnaces is carried
under the evaporator and rises to meet
the descending liquids. AS result the
water is evaporated, leaving the re-
sidue in the form of thin sulphate
of iron mush or paste, which falls
into an inclined V-shaped tank and is
conducted by means of drag convey
or into the Ruggles esColes dryers,
where the greater part of the water
of crstallization is eliminated. From
the dryers it is delivered TO a hopper
and taken to the tops of the Wedge
muffie furnaces. Here il is heated and
the iron changed from sulphates to
oxides. 1t is then discharged auto
matically from the furnaces and
ground into the form of red paint.
In the meantime the sulphur gases

have been liberated and forced back
into the teaching tanks after another
load of copper and iron.
The Wedge furnaces are in success

we understand, is entirely new and ap-
piled only at the Nevada-Douglas

COMSTOCK DUE FOR LIVELY TIMES

A prominent ComStock mine di-
rector and official, who visited the
camp over Saturday and Sunday and
made trip of inspection into the
northend mines, said, before his de-
parture, Sunday:
1T is very gratifying to me to sec
the ore development made in the ST.

that my contention of years as well
as that of others, that the Comstock

are many chances in the northend
mines, as well as in the middle group.
for important ore discoveries, which
the old-time arrangements failed TO
uncover The find in the Sierra Ne
vada is of great importance because
it was in that mine in 1873 that the
old bonanza people thought they had
found another body of ore similar to
the one in the Con Virginia and

it was possible to find anything of

body of ore. | was in the mine this

In reply TO an open letter from Sec
retary of Commerce, William {. Red

cifc Mail Steamship Company was
driven out OF its trans-Pacihc business
by the operation of the Seaman's Act.

executive committee of the company,
has written the following, in which
he reiterates that after careful re-
view of the subject when tie bill was

find any way to overcome the diffi,
culties with which it was confronted
and consequently, with the approval
of the shareholders, withdrew from
the business and sold the ships
IL have read your letter to me OF
November 5. The reasons why the
Pacific Mail could not continue to op-
crate its trans-Paci6c ships, if the Sea
mans bill became law, have been
given to committees of Congress in
Getail with supporting figures which
have never been answered, In a let

proposed legislation and gave notice
that it would result in the withdrawal

approximately $l50,000 which check
the latter company presented to the
bank and claimed the stock held in
security, which the bank delivered to
the Keane Wonder Company, which
in turn delivered it to the Frances
Mohawk Company, needing its stock
for hnacinng its operations, gave its
note to the Frances Mohawk Com
pany, protecting the notes by trust
deed to its property
Later the State Bank & Trust Co,
having gone into the hands of a re
ceiver, brought suit to recover the
Keane Wonder stock or the notes
given for the stock About this time
Also small stockholder of the Keane
Wonder Company brought suit to
have the trade" annulled. Under these
conditions certain stipulations were
entered into between the Frances
Mohawk, the Keane Wonder Com
pany and the small stockholders, by
the terms of which all payments made
by the keane Wonder Company on
its notes should be paid into the hands
OF wellknown banker in San Fran
cisco, acting as trustee, until such
time as the suit brought by the re
ceiver of the State Bank & Trust Co.
should be decided
This suit ran along, with varying
fortunes for several years, until the
sum paid into the hands OF the San
Francisco banker was approaching
100000. AS this sum was drawing no
interest and as the litigation over IT
was costing both sides considerable
sums of money, it was finally compro-
missed, the Frances Mohawk Company
receiving 80 per cent and the Stare
Bank & Trust Co. 20 per cent of the
notes given by the Keane Wonder
Company.
As the latter company had failed
~ pay dli tlO lIOltS dS tUGy
due, suit for foreclosure was insti-
tuted in the court in Inyo county, and
a judgment was secured under which
the property was sold on November
4, 1914, and bid in by the creditors
The present owners of the property
are the Frances-M ohawk Mining and
Leasing Company OF Gold6eld, F. L.
Wildes, receiver of the State Bank &
Trust Co. and B. F. Tatem, wealthy
mine owner of Montana.
The property has produced over
81 100000 The mine was closed
down last week, but will probably be
started up again as soon as the new
owners can make arrangements. The
cyanide plant has been running on
tailings below the mill, of which there

they got in some low-grade ore and
stopped the work, believing it to be
the end. What has happened in Sierra
Nevada, is likely to happen in other
mines, and | believe the time is not
far off.
"No doubt, there will be a great
mining boom in gold and silver stocks
after the war is over when mining
men of means will come to the Com
stock and furnish plenty of capital to
open all of the mines from the Con.
Virginia south to the Bullion. Every
body familiar with Comstock history
knows that there is large territory
of undeveloped ground in Savage,

needed to open it up, is to get the wa

PACIFIC COAST SHIPPING IS INJURED

Bill, which imposed upon it most
burdensome restrictions according 10
press the same restrictions have been
assigned by Mr. Robert Dollar, and
Mr., J. ]. Hill as the cause of with
drawal of their ships from the Pacific.
Are these gentlement knaves or fools,
to either conceal or not to know, as
you do that the Panama Canal Act
and not the Seaman's Act was the
real cause of withdrawal
The law speaks for itself. The men
who advocated and the men who made
it worded it so as to carry out thei.
intention to effect change in exist
ing conditions The Seaman's Union
worked strenuously for its passage
with that end in view.
In the hearing held before the com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fish
cries of December II, 1911, Mr., Nc
Arthur, editor of the Coast Seamens
Journal, says; This bill is designed
to get rid of these aliens in tongue,
color, instinct and everything else
and to replace them with Americans
p. 81.
But the purpose of this bill is to
prevent the shipment of Chinese
crews on American vessels. P. "a.
"Mr. Andrew Furuseth, President
International Seamen's Union, says;
"A vessel that has that kind of crew
'(Chinese) is so utterly unseaworthy
that she is not only a danger to her.

NEVADA DOUGLAS PLANT AT WORK

mines. The system of evaporating
water from the ore is also new and
not in use anywhere else.
1t is impossible to realize the mag
nitude of the undertaking in building
this teaching plant. There have been
numerous delays which could not be
foreseen. The Wedge furnaces and
Ruggles-Cole dryers were not deliver
ed at the mines until short time ago.
The furnaces had to be encased in
brick The Wedge furnace people in
sisted on furnishing their own work
men to do the work. That meant that
masons were employed belonging to
labor unions, and under their rules
they could not work overtime, at
without receiving pay for time and
half. In view of the fact that they
are each paid 81 day it was not
thought wise to require them TO work
overtime or in any way put the COM
pany in position to pay time and a
half. However, the masons employ
ed worked faithfully and diligently to
complete the work and overcome the
harrassing delays encountered.
Everything of value is saved. Even
the heat, which in most plants escapes,
is here utilized in drying and evaporat-
ing the sulphate solutions. The sui
phurous gases, which in other plants
arise and are waited away on the
winds to destroy vegetation, in this
plant are firmly held and carried back
into the teaching tanks Here they
unite with the water and form solu
tions which leach the copper and iron
values. These solutions serve as
vehicle for carrying the values until
the copper is precipitate, leaving the
iron in solution to be carried still
farther. In this form it is pumped
to the top of the evaporator, through
which it descends, losing the water
by evaporation The residue is carried
through the dryers and the remaining
sulphate iron crystals elevated to the
top of the Wedge furnaces. Here
they are given roast which drives
off the sulphur fumes These fumes
are sent back to the teaching tanks
after another load of copper and iron.
The iron crystals, changed by roasting
from iron sulphates to iron oxide. are
ground into red paint. By this it will
be seen that everything of value is ex-
tracted and saved. Thee sulphurous
gases are used over and over again
in the teaching tanks to facilitate
teaching If at any time we have more
than are needed for this purpose the
plant is prepared to convert them into
| sulphuric acid for commercial use.
