The ore-bins hold nearly 80 tons of
ore that is said to assay an average
| of $50 per ton, and this statement is
given credence by the high grade
character of the ore The values are
gold, silver and lead. the latter metal

Schenectady to the Front.
The Schenectady, which resumed
work only a few days ago after short
shut down to install machinery needed
in sinking the shaft deeper. is creep
ing to the front in providing develop
| ment news of more than usual inter-
est. The incline shaft, which will be
sunk to the 5OO-foot level, has at
tanned a depth of 260 feet. The ore
shoot that opened up so satisfactorily
on the rs foot level is being followed
and is proving to be equally as good
where the miners are now working
as in the upper workings. Two feet
of fine ore, which is showing n tend
ency to increase its dimensions, is now
showing in the bottom, the character
of the ore being identical with that
found above, with the exception of a
radical increase in zinc values The
yellow iron that invariably carries
good gold values is also in evidence
seemingly in the usual quantities. in
dicating preservation of the gold val
ues, which, with the increased zinc
content, probably will increase the
average assay value of the vein.
The owners of the Schenectady have
to sink the shaft to the 400-foot point
Since beginning work the contractors
have gone down fifty feet and are
making four feet daily. Three shifts
are employed. Machine drills are be-
ing used.
SchuylkII Reports
report just issued by the Schuyl-
kill gives the following interesting in
formation concerning that mine:
The property was taken over by the
present company January l, 1916
since which time over $685. has been
spent in development and equipment
and ample funds have been provided
to carry on the work contemplated and
to the point where the property should
pay dividends.
About forty men are employed in
and around the property.
About 10000 tons have been blocked
out above the 500 foot level, averaging
about s45 per ton, giving a gross value
to the ore in sight of over $1,000 900
In addition to this ore, the company
estimates that 1900 tons now lie on
the dumps this dump ore having
value of s23 per ton.
Tests have been in progress until
recently to determine the adaptability
of the flotation process to these ores
1t was found that a clean concentrate
of lead, zinc and iron can be made.
The main shaft is rapidly nearing
the S0O-foot level, and just as soon as
the ore is cut on that level construc-
ton of a mill with capacity of 125 to
$50 tons daily will be started.
Chloride Attracts Capital
few of the names of men promin-
ent in the financial world who have
been recently attracted to Chloride,
and who are now identified with min
ing projects here, are:
Frank Garbutt, former vice-presi-
dent and one of the organizers of the
Union Oil company, but now a moving
picture magnate of the first magni-
tude. His income is estimated at sew
eral million dollars per year. He re-

Jesse Knight, Utah multi million
aire mining man, whose name in con-
nection with mining venture is ample
to secure funds for development. His
successes in Utah have drawn to him
an army of investors who rely ex-
plcitly upon his judgment His en-
trance into mining circles in Chloride
has done much to attract publicity to
