S4S per ton. Compare this with the 1 value of a, comparatively rich gold mine, and the reason for the present public interest is evident It is sur prising what number of promising surface showings of cinnabar ore exist in certain districts, and more surprising ill that after a year of high prices. ; most of them remain undeveloped It i is hard to believe that any other form of mining could have attracted so lit tie interest. This may be explained by the fact that there is no market for cinnabar ores as such. and that 10 convert even high grade cinnabar ore into money. it is necessary to have access to q furnace. Few if any, of { the larger companies purchase outside ores. Another reason is that as far as
 California is concerned, quicksilver
 ores are found only on agricultural
 patented land.
 Cinnabar ores are reduced by a pro-
 cess of distillation that is, the ore is
 heated to such a temperature (about
 625 degrees F) as is necessary for the
 oNidization of the sulphur and the
 VaporiZation of the remaining mer-
 cIlry. These Vapors must then be
 cooled below the boiling point of mer-
 cury. The method of treating cinnabar
 ores as at present practised has under
 gone practically no change of i'm ; provement since 1871, when Robert
 Scott and his co-workers developed
 what is known as the tile furnace at
 New Almaden.

Ladies! Men! Here's the quick est, surest dandruff cure

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff It robs the hair of its lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast.

SHATTUCk- ARIZONA

Shattuck- Arizona has reduced its cost of copper production from Sh to 7Ac by doubling, shipments of lead- silver ore profits on which serve to re- duce the cost of producing copper. The company is now turning out 13,OoO tons of 6 per cent copper ore monthly, and 2,OO0 tons of 20 per cent lead-sliver ore. Shattuck- Arizona at this rate can earn the $4 dividend rate on 15-cent copper, and is earning more than double that figure on the present high copper market.
 The output of the mine for January was: 1865 PA lbs. of copper; 261,S53 lbs. of lead: 30.969 ounces silver anu

SNYDER SILVER MINE oPTIoNEp

This old silver producer near Bum ble Bee has been bonded to E. J. Tenn pie. Some rich ore was taken from this property in early days, but at the lowering of the price of silver. and be- ing so far from transportation, it ne- .cessitated the closing down Of tho property The deal was closed by w.. W. Snyder, long resident of Rumble Fee, just previous to his death. On a recent visit to this locality I met the old gentleman being brought down to Phoenix to receive medical attention. He looked very ill at that time and it eventully proved his last trip over the historic road he had travelled for many years.
 Rumble Bee used to be a very busy center, and one never visited there unless he saw anywhere from 20 to 50 prospectors. Of late years the district has been very quiet indeed, but is now assuming considerable activity by the finding of tungsten ores in the vicinity and the renewed working and develop nents of old properties. both silver and gold.

 WHY PRODUCTION FELL OFF

Copper production is falling snort or consumption by from .22,000,OOO to So,- 900 900 pounds per month. according to various conservative estimates. Se- were storms from Arizona and Mexico north to British Columbia and Alaska, and from Tennessee and Michigan westward to the Rocky Mountains have curtailed December and January production in all the copper mining camps of the country.

State Game Warden Asks Willard for Consignment of Biz Hoppers to
 Transplant in Buckeye State.

State Game Warden Willard yester- Gay received a letter from John C. Speaks, game warden of the state of Ohio, asking to be put in touch with some one in this locality who could supply him with coopful of live jack rabbits. it being the intention of the Ohio official to let the big animals get a start in that state. Mr. Speaks had seen the jack rabbits running about on the western plains and thought that they might offer good target fer the Ohio sportsmen to shoot at if they were once allowed to get a start in that state. Mr Willard is making arrangements to supply the Ohio warden with several pairs of the rabbits.
 Several weeks ago MT. Willard ship ped several dozen Gamble quail to MT. Speaks, and the birds will be liberated in Ohio and an effort will be made to

It will be observed by the above statements the California quicksilver properties have been working success fully and profitably on 0.6 per cent ore and this whilst the metal was at it's regular tow price for a number of years The treatment of quicksilver ores is in- tricate and tremendous waste attendant upon it. But the time has arrived when these old and antiquated methods are about to cease. The admission in the article that cinnabar ore are perfectly amenable to the flotation process, puts an entirely different phase on their treatment and also the enormous sav- ing. over and above the old processes. We have contended for some time that the ores found in the large deposits north of Phoenix, could be treated sue cessfUlly by the Notation process More over the adaptation of such treatment for the ores in these areas, would mean a greater extraction than that of Cali fornia. for the simple reason that the California veins are narrow, irregular and precarious, whereas the deposits north of Phoenix, both in Maricopa and Gla counties. are large and bold and really a tremendous tonnage of com mercial ore could be obtained by open excavations sometimes to width of 20 feet. This does not include the high grade seams and veinlets all through the schistic vein system Comparison can be legitimately made to any of the properties in California and also those in Mexico down to the states of Guer- TO and Michiocan. but in my opinion not any of them bears comparison with those in our close vicinity. Of course quicksilver is not mined gen. erally like other metals. it is an odd metal and it's only the few that might he expected to be interested, but when the above properties get into the right hands and are worked practically, we will see these areas immensely pro ductivc and remunerative, and with every possibility and probability of their becoming the largest producers of the liquid metal in the United States.

Consider able rich ore was taken from the ground and a reduction plant was erected, but the property seemed to meet one misfortune after another in it's mismanagement Those getting hold of it being more desirous of sell ing stock than working the mine in a practical manner. Years ago the property was owned by the Lincoln family, old and long residents of Phoenix. Rightly handled there seems no apparent reason why the property should not make good.
