BLuESTONE MINING PROPERTY
PURCHASED BY CANADIAN co.
Mill Of 400 Ton Capacity Built in Record
Time. Regular Shipments Of Concentrates
Being Made. Srnelter Tonnage Large.

Probably one of the largest mining
sales that has ever been made in
this section of the west. was con-
summated the fore part of this month,
when ]. D. DeLamar sold the con-
trolling interest in the Bluestone Min
ing and Smelling Co. to the Dominion
Reduction Co. of Canada. The new
company has taken charge of the
property. and Maurice w. Summer
hayes, well known mining man OF
Canada is in charge as general man
ager. /
The! Dominion Reduction Co. is
one of the largest mining companies
in Canada. and it at present also op-
Grating the Porcupine Crown Mines,
Ltd. at Timmins, Ont. and others
at Cobalt Their purchase of the
Bluestone speaks volumes for the
merits OF the mine.
c. A. Week, general manager OF
the mine since 1904, and under whose
efficient management the property has
become one of the big copper mines
OF the west. will leave, with his fam
lily, about July |, for a vacation of
several months, during which they
will tour California and camp at DIFF
ferent places, after which he expects
to enter government service as en-
giner
A flotation mill of 400 tons daily
capacity is now in operation on the
property, but the management ex-
poets to crowd il to 500 tons. In
this mill, the crushers and
filters of sufficient size for 1000 ton
daily plant were installed. and it is
that another unit will soon
be added TO those already in opera
ton In view of the fact that mater
ials have been very difficult to obs
tam. This plant has been built in rec-
ord time In order to do this con-
siderable efficient work had to be
done and the retiring management de-
serves great credit for its mastery
success The mill has been running
about Is days to date. and without
INV trouble or break down, such as
ire usually attendant upon the start
ng of new plant. The mill is
urning out "A tons OF concentrate
very other day, which averages a
,out 25 per cent copper, with loss in
he tailings of less than one per cent.
\ side from the ore which is run thro'
he mill some 800 tons OF oxide ore
5 being shipped daily to the Thomp-
on Smelter
A general survey OF these mining
,perations shows efficiency to be ev
# paramount. From the time the
IRE is mined until the copper concen-
rate is shipped, is an operation OF the
east pos siblc labor. The ore which
soes to the mill hill and sinelter is
Mostly handled by gravity. The COM
,any has built its own railroad tc
he property and have transportation
acilities for an exceedingly large
,utput
Before the mill was built better
han a million tons of ore were block
ID out, with the possibilities of more
IRE being developed at a lower level,
which in itself assures, considerable
duration to the mine.
