ENORMOUS ORDER PLACED
TUNGSTEN CONCENTRATES

The following. from the Denver
Post OF last Wednesday, will be OF
more than passing interest to Black
lIills people interested In tungsten:
'Colorado's tungsten district is
coming into its own again, orders for
s4.000.000 OF concentrates having
been placed in Boulder yesterday. OF
these orders the Primos Chemical
company received s2.50o,000 and the
Wolf Tongue company the remainder
"Lesses from these companies, who
obtained leave to quit the field when
prices went down, have been recalled
and assurances have been given that
prices far in advance of those paid
recently will be given for the ore to
be mined under the new orders. 1t
is said that there Is no stored con-
centrates At Boulder or the neighbor-
ing camps and that little If any ore
is awaiting treatment except in plants
that have eastern steel connections. 3"
II is taken TO Indicate by the peo-
pie who have tungsten ores that the
recent slump in the bright metal has
been but temporary, and that froi
now on there will be an increased de
mand for it. and they are correspond
ingly happy. Several Deadwood own.
owners of ground from which tung-
sten ores are being produced declar-
ed their intention OF continuing the
work on their ground throughout the
winter, and are confident that the
price per unit will continue to ad-
vance. 1t is known that at the pres
ent time there are between 400 and
500 tons of tungsten concentrates in
the Black Hills awaiting shipment.
and some OF the orders that have
gone TO Colorado will have to be ill
ed from here, provided the right
price is paid, for of late there has
been much inquiry from eastern con-
Germs employing the metal for the
Black Hllls product The price, how.
ever, has not been alluring to the
Black Hills people. so they have not
made any shipments. If the CON-
panies who have contracts fol the

UNPRECEDENTED BUYING
OF DOMESTIC COPPEI

The buying OF copper by the con
sumers Of the United States has
reached unprecedented proportions.
On Monday lOO,OOO,OOO pounds were
sold for delivery well into next year.
The situation has become so acute
that producers have made it known
that prices are subject to change
without notice Small lots of
prompt metal scored a new high
price for this movement a; 80 1-2
cents.
First quarter copper is quoted at
20 IL cents pound 2S l-2 cents
for the second quarter The demand
has been CHIEFLY for deliveries for the
first six months of 1917.
A big selling factor says 1T looks
as though the talk from abroad that
there is no immediate peace in sight
among the European belligerents is
having its effect on the manufactur-
ers with munitions and other war
orders on their books and they are
now buying their raw materials

Resolutions urging a more liberal
administration Of lands and protest

were adopted. Another urged the
elimination OF politics from the in
spection service. and advocated a
general revision OF the mining laws.

Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt read a paper, urging the
government retention of the control

The forestry relations committee.
in its report outlined the rules for
prospecting in forest reserves. Com
menting on complaints. the commit
tee, through its chairman, Carney
Hartley, of Denver, said THE intent
of he forestry service is being well
carried out by field officials In some
localities where there had been some
complaint the difficulty has been that
unfair advantage has been taken of
the rules compelling forestry officials
to exercise the letter of the law in
order to carry out instructions. In
some cases this has been due to a
lack OF appreciation Of the spirit of
the law and in a few cases through
and attempt TO take unfair and H.
legal advantage of the situation It
is generally believed, however, that
10y this time the situation is well un-
derstood and the principal need for
the regulations is to show the pros
pector what his rights are under
them"

SLAEONIAN PROPERTY
Will. WORK ALL WINTER

Professor /. r. Dove, formerly OF
the Lead High schoo! faculty, who
promoted and is superintending the
operations OF the Elk Mountain
Mining and Milling company. an
nounces a nintentiOn TO continue op-
erations at he Spearfish canyon mine
and cyanide plant indefinitely into
the winter Handicapped slightly by
the recent fall OF snow, which re-
tards open-cut work, they are going
ahead with the development and pro-
duction, running the mill up TO its
iull tank capacity. II is possible that
unusually severe winter weather,
with considerable more snow fall
than there Is at present will force a
suspension, but the intention, in that
event, is 10 start early in the spring
and ma larger scale than has been
maintained in the past.
On the whole Superintendent Dove
is well satisfied with results that
have been accomplished. They have
been able to do twice the amount Of
development that their original capi-
tai indicated as possible and the CO.
partners who remain in the COM
.pany have the utmost confidence IN
their enterprise and are prepared TO
remain united In their efforts to de
velop the property into a big produc-
cr They started on practically moth
ing and no whave a proposition that
is paying a profit.
Lack OF working capital hase been
serious handicap. Five thousand
dollars would put the plant in con-
iition for handling three times tine
amount OF ore now milled. The plant
has crushing capacity of 300 tons
daily, with a teaching tank capacity
OF only 100 tons; hence the crushing
department is forced to lie idle two
thirds OF the time, with thousands Of
tons OF ore waiting TO be mined at at
q total cost OF mining and milling not
far above 81 per ton. The Elk noun
tain company proposition looks like
one that ought TO attract the atten-
ton of capital and II II is ever pre-
sented in the centers where mining
interest and money are found togeth-
er, the result should be the estab-
llshment of a big producing low

the sinking of the main shaft at the

is going down rapidly. The other
work that Is underway at the prop

CONCERNING YOUNG GOLD
AND SILVER VEINS

ore deposits ranging in age from
the time when the most complex
living thing on earth was crab
like creature down 10 the time when
mammals were highly developed
have been found in the United
States. Among the younger deposits
is a group known TO geologists as
the late Tertiary veins. These veins
are widely distributed and are of
particular interest not only because
they have given rise TO famous min
camps such as Tonopah, Goldfeld.
and Comstock, but because. owing to
their comparative youth, the surface
on which they crop out is not greatly
below that which existed at the time
OF thei roriGin. Thus by considering

MINING OPERATIONS IN co

The Golden Summit mine situated
three miles east of Hill City, was in
the early days OF the Hills famously
known Tor the wealth II was produc-
ing from low, shallow surface work
ngs. The prospector who found and
sold it probably never realized the
actual wealth in gold ore that lay
before him. The ore was of the high
est grade and even with pan and
mortar good money could have been
made. The company that secured this
ground worked all the ore shoots out
that could be found on the surface
without making preparations to de-
velop the ground into a paying mine.
When the surface ore was exhausted
"A 'hnti vas sunk to a depth of about
100 feet and by drifting and sinking
wines considerable ore was gouged
from the mine but no systematic ef-
fort was made to develop the mine
this kind OF mining finally resulted
in its shut down. The Golden Sum
nit has never been given the chance
II so we'll deserves. to prove its
value The undertaking, therefore,
by the Dakota Continental Copper
company TO develop this rich gold
prospect is hailed with considerable
satisfaction, because the people have

REN BEACH'S FORMER
WIFE IN JUNEAU JAu.

She is the victim OF the ways OF
the white people, she says, when
talking about her troubles. She is
a drunkard and knows il; is guilty OF
the crime for which she is being
punished, according TO her statement.
but she lays it all at the white mans
door, saying that white mans
"hootch" has been her downfall. says
the Alaska Citizen. She is an Indian
woman named Annie Lyons, and is
serving term for yagrancy in the
federal jail here, having been com
mitted from Tanana. But the most
interesting part OF her story is that
she claims to have once been the wife
OF Rex Beach, the now world famous
novelist,
And that is this Indian woman's
claim 10 notoriety. For she has learn
ed that the man with whom she lived
as a wife in the early days OF Ram
part has now became famous, and
she has also learned that on account
OF his fame, she, too, is a famous
character To the tourists who now
sit Alaska annually. II has there
for" been her custom during the pas,
two years 10 pose for snapshots taken
by curiosity eking summer visitors
TO interior Alaska at four bits each.
That is, She charges each tourist so
cents for the privilege of swapping
her.
In this manner the woman has
eked out living AT Tanana during
the summer months for the past two
years. She depends altogether on
somebody else 10 take care of her
during the winter caring not for the
coming OF the cold days, as she
spends her summers earnings to
crafty her appetite for liquor. un-
doubtedly furnished by some un-
scrupulous white man.
Last winter she was convicted OF
yagrancy at Tanana and sent here to
serve out her term In this manner
she was kept throughout the winter,
and was also prevented from getting
liquor This year the sentence i'm
posed was l25 days The former wife
OF Rex Beach is therefore practically
certain that She will not want this
winter, although she hates the
thought OF languishing in Jail, and in
her more pensiye moments blaraes
the white man and association with
him. for all OF her troubles.
There is but little doubt but that
the woman's story that she formerly
lived with Rex Beach is true. For It
is corroborated by residents of var
ious lower river points who have
known her for years.

BATTERY ECONOMY NECESSARY
TO SUCCESSFUL CAR OPERATION

When the motorist buys an auto
mobile he goes very carefully into
the question OF gasoline economy,
how many miles per gallon he can
get out of his motor and figures out
from that how much pc rmile for fuel
il is going 10 cost him TO operate
his car. In driving he uses as rare
a mixture as possible TO conserve the
gasoline He looks for the most
economical speed at which to run his
car and makes every effort to run il
at that speed Getting the most out
of a gallon Of gasoline is part OF the
successful operation OF the car
Contrast this with the attitude Of
the average car owner towards his
storage battery Not one in thou
sand knows what il costs him to turn
over his engine nor how much it it is
costing him 10 burn his lights. Using
economy in the matter of electric cur
rent is the last thing in the world
that enters his head
Economy In the use OF electrical
current which the battery supplies is
not at all difficult for the motorist.
II is a simple matter TO prime the
engine on cold mornings when vap-
orization is difficult It is small
matter to turn off the headlights and
other unnecessary lights when the
car is standing idle This is all that
economy OF current means.
BY regular hydrometer tests the
motorist can keep in touch with the
condition OF his battery BY keep
ing il filled with pure distilled water,
he keeps the plates covered so that
the greatest possible surface is ex-
posed to the action OF the electrolyte.
BY balancing the ammeter readings
OF current used by the lights against
the ammeter readings OF current sup
piled to the battery by the generator,
he is able to tell whether the battery
is receiving as much current as it is
giving out BY keeping in touch with
the Willard Service Stations, he
gives the battery experts a chance TO
correct troubles while they are still
small.
