Says Mining Engineer

With the peace scare Jerome had
quite a setback. but the district is going
to develop some more mines, peace or
no peace" writes an engineer from this
lively Arizona mining center. But Of
all the wildcat camps that were ever
started this is the widest, and the rea-
son Is simply that they have big mines
here and nobody knows why. There
is less reliable informatoE - b. had
about this district than about any |

business men and mining engineers
are standing behind prospects here
that have not single sign OF ore eX-

the Lord only knows what there is
1900 feet underground. How do I
know this to be so? Because | am
trying to stand behind one myself
And the one | am standing behind at
least has the geological conditions and
"A few ounces of real ore showing on

at. But I am going to continue to

SHELTER STACKS.
Why They Are Built High--One at
Great Falls Is SOC Feet.

The object In building very high
smeltery stack Is to carry obnoxious
gases far above the surrounding
ground and is not to obtain draft. Then
il the gases do settle to the ground,
they will be greatly diluted and their
deleterious action either greatly re-
duced or entirely eliminated. In this
connection ii might be mentioned that
to get the best results in diffusing the
gases the velocity should be high on
leaving the stack. In other words, for
a given quantity Of gas the inside dla-
meter at the top should not be made
too liberal, says correspondent OF
and Mining Journal.
The highest stack in existence to-
day liz at Great Falls, Mont, and the
height is sos feet. II might be thought
that there never will be need of build
ing a stack higher than this. How
ever. II the cost were not too great, 1t
Is quite likely that stack much high
er than 500 feet would improve smoke
materially in some locali-
ties.
