FOR ERECTION OF 1000 TON MILL

m its issue Of December % the
Plumas. Cal, National Bulletin tells
Of progress made by and of plans for
the future Of .Engels Copper Com
pany. including the installation OF a
2000-tCn mill. 1t says:
"R. A! Lennon, chief clerk of the
Engels Copper Company, spent the
early part OF the week in Quincy.
From him ii Is learned that the COM
pany plans to install a milling plant
at the mine in Lights Canyon, with a
capacity sufficient to handle 1000 tons
Of Gre per day The original plant
OF the Engels mine consisted of a
mill of $50 tons capacity. Later the
capacity Of this mill was doubled by
additions. and now the company pro-
poses to equip the property with an
enormous plant which will eclipse
anything OF the kind In the state. The
new plant will be installed in 500-tOn
units, the first unit Of which will be
ready for operation by July !. 1917.
The new plant will handle the ore
by gravity, from the time II enters the
mill until IL leaves the mill in the
form Of crushed pulp. 1t will com
pose Gates gyratory crushers Of two
sizes, the largest Of which will handle
chunks of ore up to a diameter OF
two feet. The crushed ore will then
be further reduced in Marcy ball mills,
after which it will go to the tube mill,
where the ore Is finally reduced to
an almost impalpable powder by
crushing with flint pebbles. The re-
sultant pulp then goes through what
Is known as the Jenney oil notation
machine, which separates the copper
concentrates from the waste material
The latter escapes from the mill, and
preparations are now being made to
impound this material in a big re.
straining reservoir which will be con.
structed on the Roy Stark ranch In

to Hawaii q few years ago. Here 1t
was that the San Carlos project was
financed and incorporated and 1t Is
from here that the company Is operat'
ed. Lambert returns with another
and new central factory project. II
Is to be located az Victoria, on the
same island as San Carlos, Negroes,
about % miles away and on the op-
posite side OF the island. 4.
OF this new project Lambert says
that ii is an even better proposition
than Is San Carlos. He says that the
central will, get 50 per cent Of the
sugar, which is Is per cent better
than San Carlos does, since the latter
company gets 10 per cent Of the SUI
gar. The location Of the district, he
adds, Is such that the, new company
viii be able, to grind nearly every
month In the year, thereby permitting
a smaller mill to manufacture as
much In season as larger one
which must grind its cane in four or
five months. Victoria Is one OF the
two districts In the Philippines where
such conditions apply. |r..

Philippines and is familiar with and

liver additional power to the mine.
Later on when the proposed plant at
or near Belden is built, power will be
delivered from that source.
Three hundred and twenty-five
men are employed by the mining COM
pany at the present time. Owing to
the recent strike at the mine. the force
is somewhat smaller than it was a
month ago. but the vacancies are rap
ly being filled About 500 men will
be employed at the property in the
spring.
A recent development, known as
No. 6 tunnel, tapped the immense cop
per deposit 300 feet deeper than at
any point reached in previous opera
A very rich strike was also recently
made in what is known as the Super
ior tunnel. The ore is so rich at this
point that it is shipped just as Il is,
without concentrating, to the smelter
in Utah.
"A 1G00-foot tramway was recently
built from the Superior tunnel to the
flat at the lower camp.
Tunnel No, 6 is planned to be the
main tunnel of the mine. 1t is large
enough to accommodate a double
track for ore cars, which will be :laul.
ed by electricity and will deliver ore
from the ledge to the tramway.
Mr.. Lennon predicts that the En-
gels mine will in the near future
eclipse all other copper mines in the
state Of California, in point Of produc.
ton. Under the supervision of the
company's geological expert, Mr.. Rein
