The Wallace miner. [volume] (Wallace, Idaho) 1907-current, 1918-02-21

n Spokane last week a highly
interesting and instructive pa
per on dfferential flotation was read
by w. L. zeigler, metallurgist of the
Success Mining company and superin-
tendent of the Success mill. Mr.. lei
gler has given much attention to this
subject which is being studied by
many metallurgists, particularly in it's
application to lead-Zinc ores. Flota-
tion is now universally used in the
treatment of this class of ores, and the
problem to be solved is to 50 adjust
the flotation solutions that the fine
particles of lead and zinc in the shines
will be recovered separately and more
effectively; in other words, to differ
entiate, as the name implies, between
the two metals and turn them out as
separate shipping products The ex-
tensive experiments conducted by Mr..
Zeigler have accomplished very defin-
ite results and justifies the prediction
that it is only a question of time un-
til he will have the process perfected
w al SAltIl tlldl II may NC uoCu vi q
commercial basis. He has now actu-
ally solved the problem on small
scale through laboratory tests. Sam
pies of the product of his experiments
may be seen at the office of the Sue
cess Mining company. One of three
bottles contains lead, the other zinc
and the third tailings, all recovered
from the shines separated by him
through the experimental process of
differential flotation. The lead is alb
solutely clean and is 79 per cent pure.
The zinc is 43 per cent and contains
little lead. The tailings are almost.
pure white and contain little more
than a trace of mineral. 1t is believ-
any other metallurgist in this work
and that it will not be long until he
will be able to announce the perfec
tion of his process. If the differential
process can be successfully adapted in
the treatment of Success ore, it will
add at least so per cent to the profits
. obtained on the flotation product un-
der the present system.
Success Outlook Encouraging.
Operations in the Success mine are
progressing very satisfactorily and
give encouragement to the hope that
the property is entering upon a per-
iod of prosperity. The new manage
ment is evidently proceeding cautious

the expenses well below the earning
capacity. 1t may be stated authorita
lively that the company earned sub
stantial profit during the month OF
January and that an equally good rec
ord is being made this month.
Lead Shoot Continues.
Much interest was created soon af
ter the change in management by the
discovery of a new shoot of lead ore.
Drifting upon this still continues with
most satisfactory results, but how far
IL has been followed has not been
learned. 1t is evident now that this
will prove an important addition to
the resources of the mine. On the
1900 level little lead ore has recent
" been encountered drifting east
which may prove continuation OF
the shoot just mentioned. This, how
ever, remains to be determined, for
the work at this time does not justify
any definite prediction.

Shaft Down 1000 Feet and Will Be
Sunk 200 Feet Further.

The shaft of the Hecla mine is now
down 1000 feet and a station is being
cut preparatory to crosscutting to the
vein. This is 400 feet below the pres
ent lowest level of the mine. Accord
ing to apparently reliable information
the shaft will be sunk 200 feet further
and possibly more.

INTERN n MINE
SHIPS TWO CARS A WEEK
SAYS TWO YEARS ORE BLOCKED
oUT-pRoMIsING COPPER
PROPERTY.

The Intermountain Mining company,
near Iron Mountain, Mont, is shipping
two carloads of concentrates and crude
ore a week and has enough ore blocked
out to run two years with the present
milling capacity, according to w. w.
Shaw, a miner we'll known in Mineral
county and who until recently has
been employed at the Intermountain.
This estimate of ore in sight does not
take into consideration ore below the
400 level, although the shaft has been
sunk to a depth of 700 feet and it Is
known that there is much ore below
the 400. The ore that is being mined
comes from the 400. 200 and an adit
level a few feet above the collar of the
by raises in ore, which in places is
four feet in width. Considerable of
the ore is roughly sorted in the mine,
making crude shipping, product of
about 10 per cent copper The mill
has a capacity of 100 tons per day,
which is inadequate to meet the pres
ent requirements The management
of the Intermountain is under the very
capable direction of Chester Lawrence,
who was for many years connected
with the Hecla.
Mining Around Superior.
| Mr.. Shaw says there is considerable
prospecting and development work
going on in the Superior Iron Noun
| tain section, but the difficulty in get
ting capital is a serious drawback
and in this respect it is not unlike
other mining sections of the west. Mr.
Shaw owns a group of claims about
mile west of Superior and within hal
mile of the Milwaukee track. which
from his description Is a most invit'
ing proposition to one who has lit
tie capital for investment. The grounC
is traversed by two great copper veins
one of which has been opened by {
crosscut which shows low grade mill
ing ore for a width of 40 feet. Littl,
depth is gained by this tunnel, but b!
drifting into the hill depth of prob
ably 1900 feet may be gained. Hi
ground covers this vein for a distance
Of 5000 feet. The other vein is GOV
cred for 5000 feet 1t has a large ant
strong outcrop, but very little ha
been done in the way Of development

AJAX.
Crosscut From Moonlight Should
Reach Vein Any Day.

Reach VEN Any Oay.
It was learned last Monday from
Burke parties that the crosscut from
the bottom of the 20O-foot shaft that
was sunk by the Ajax company from
the Moonlight level was expected to
cut the vein in about 20 feet. This
work is not far from the east end line
of the Hercules. Recent reports or
large ore developments in the Hereu-
les east Of the shaft have created un-
usual interest in the progress of work
on the Ajax, which Is presumed to
have the Hercules vein. Besides con-
siderable ore has been developed on
the Ajax on the level from which the
shaft is sunk.

.HYP0THEEK TROUBLES
DID NOT CONE. S|NCLY
CANADIAN LAW STOPS UNDER
WRITER'S FROM TAKING UP
BONDS OF COMPANY.

The drop in the price of lead, floods
that prevented the movement of ore
to the railroad, and finally an embargo
on cars that temporarily blocks ship
ment now that the flood damage has
been overcome, form a series of cir
cumstances which have seriously
hampered the Hypotheek Mining &
Milling company in it's operations and
changed a handsome and growing sur
plus into a deficit which must be part
ly made up by an assessment. The
story is clearly and candidly told in a
circular letter just issued by the COM
pany to its stockholders, together with
complete financial statement and
notice of assessment. Expenses have
been curtailed by the management to
meet the exigencies of the situation,
and confidence is felt that these ad-
verse conditions will soon be over
come and that the company will soon
be in position to operate under more
favorable circumstances. The letter,
which is issued for the company by
Manager Otto A. OLSON, is here Civ

transit and about 200 tons of ore ready
to ship. This, together with $10,O00
which we will receive from the as
sessment will pay up the Indebtedness
and we hope that further assessment
will not be necessary, especially since
the price of lead is now up 20 cents,
and high authority on metal prices
predict a further raise of at least one
cent
Added to Ore Reserves.
Most of the recent new develop
ment has been done on the 500, and
there the ore shoot has been proved
almost 700 feet in length and with an
average width of 8 feet. The policy
of the management has been to open
up new ground wherever there is rea
sonabe indications of ore, and this
work has generally been rewarded
with success. The result of these op
erations has been most gratifying, al
though it has necessarily involved \
considerable expense in addition to
regular operating costs. No work has
been done on the 100 level of late, as
the purpose of the management has
been to determine the length and eX-
tent of the ore shoot above, and the
results obtained will have a direct
bearing on plans for extending the
work on the lowest level"

Getting More Copper.

Continuing the report says:
During the prosecuting the 3-foot
stringer of quartz which went into the
hanging wall side some 800 feet back
in the drift, and which it was antici
pated might be found laying on the
hanging wall, was not encountered. If
his stringer, which shows consider
able iron, continues in the same course
according to survey it would take ap-
proximately 100 feet of prosecuting to
reach it and following the advice of
our engineer this has been temporarily
delayed and the No. east drift is be-
ing driven ahead again and 20 feet of
drifting was accomplished in January.
Copper in increasing quantities con-
tinues to show in the drift. We are
steadily gaining depth and approach
ing our best surface showings ahead
and with our present encouraging
showing it is anticipated that when
this point is reached an ore body

Showing Is Encouraging.

According to our engineer the en-
countering Of a small body of good
ore would make it possible to profit
ably work our entire ledge owing to
its highly mineralized character. Our
present showing is most encouraging
and we are fast approaching our best
ground. Stockholders must remember
that it takes time, nerve and money to
develop a mine. Your management is
equally as anxious as you are to make
a mine of the Old Veteran. We have

eralized ledge containing all the ear
marks of making into an ore body

iodical assessments is used for the di-
rect development of the property

alton"

To the Stockholders.

Last summer when lead was quot
ed at II cents per pound everything
pointed toward a great financial sue
cess for the Hypotheek Mining &
Milling company. We had good ore in
all the slopes above the 700-foot level
as well as in those above the 900 and
HOO The length of the ore shoot had
been extended on all these levels, par
tlcularly to the east. We made a
clear profit on ore extraction of over

capital by paying off 425 bonds.
Operating Difficulties.
However,, lead dropped rapidly
from II cents to 5 " cents, and with
the high rate of wages and the ex-
cessive cost of all mining supplies the
profit went down to almost nothing,
especially since we had to let extern
slve contracts for our winter supplies
OF lumber, stulls and wood. Later we
ran into lean places in the slopes and
the floods of this district left the roads
in such condition that ore hauling be-
came impossible under these circum-
stances. To make our position still
more difficult, an embargo has been
announced by the O.-W. r. G. n. COM
tined for points beyond the company's
lines. Under these circumstances
We found it necessary to re-
duce expenses and have laid off about
one half of our men, running the mill
only one shift, and employing only
enough men underground to supply
ore for the mill and continue develop
ment work.
Underwriters Can't Take Up Bonds.
Having had practically no income
during the last two months, our in
debtedness has accumulated to the
amount of $19,76733, and since the
underwriters of our bond issue, Messrs
Hitchcock & McCulloch. of Moosejaw
Sask., Canada, have informed us that
bonds can not be taken up at this time
owing to an act passed by the Cana
dian government that no securities
can be bought unless such securities
are approved by the government
there was nothing left to the directors
of our company but to levy an assess
ment of five mills to take care of ouI
obligations The notice of this assess
ment is herewith enclosed
