is entered from the east and drops suddenly
as the west edge is approaced. The ore
from these shear zones varies from $7.50 to
$30.00 per ton, depending upon hGW cleanly
it is broken. Far some distance from the
are, the dacite assays from $0.40 to $1.50
gold per ton.
The quartz vein on the Big Four has a
well defined pay shoot, pitching 45 degrees
to the southeast, over 300 feet long. The
ore in this shoot varies in width from six
(6) inches to four and one-half (4%) feet,
and in value from $7.50 to $65.00 per ton,
with an average value of $18.5G per ton for
18 inches in width. This is a very persis­
tent vein and its development is fulfilling
its surface promise.
The Sunshine vein is a small, rich
vein, following Ii' contact zone. The surface
in its viCinity is covered with "float," ten
tons of which were milled, yielded $75.00
per ton. The vein is about ten (10) inches
wide, but contains ore which averages bet­
ter than $100.00 r:er ton. The float from
this vein can be picked up for a distance
along the strike of 1,200 feet. This will
probably develop into a very valuable prop­
erty.
Mining Facilities-The elevation O'f the
camp is 6,000 to 8,500 feet above sea·level
The snow comes about December 15tn and
remains until about June 1st.
The contour of the district is of such a
character that, for some time, no deep min­
ing need be done other than ,by tunnels.
Tunels 3,000 to 5,000 feet long will develop
from 1,000 to 1,500 feet of backs, with a rel­
ative proportion of backs from shorter tun­
nels.
There is on most of the locations an
abundance of Umber (fir, pine and spruce)
of good quality for all purposes.
Running water exists in sufficient quan­
tity for d<lmestic use, steam and milling
purposes, but water for power cannot be ob­
tained short of 25 miles at Deep Creek, Ore­
gon.
Milling-A Chilian mill, with a 30 tons
capacity per day is located at the southern
edge of the district.
In this mill the ore will pass from a
Blake breaker to a Lane Chilian mill. The
pulp after passing a 100-mesh screen, will
flow over silver plates to a classifier, from
which the sand will 'go to sand treatment
vats for cyanidation, and the slime to slime
tanks. The gold is very fine and therefore
such fine grinding is necessary.
There Is also the 10-stamp mill owned
by the Fort Bidwell Consolidated company,
which is running on <Ire from the Sugar
Pine lode, transported by wire tramway.
At the Big Four property five stamps are
running on their ore. Botli these mills will
do custom work.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES.
The following description of High Grade
mines and claims is taken from "The High
Grade Handbook" published by Albert Wag­
ner, of Denver:
Modoc Mines Company.
In the northern portion of the camp on
what is termed High Grade Hill, lie the
holding of the Modoc Mines company. This
Is the property referred to In the geological
report of Mr. Stines as the school section.
The properties are owned by the Modoc
Mines company. It consists of 259 acres of
patented ground. Chicago capital has tak­
en over this property and it is headed by
William Wrigley, Jr., the millionaire manu­
facturer of "Spearmint <0hewlng Gum."
The mining operations are mana'ged by
"the Father of High Grade," N. E. Guyot,
and a most worthy 'mine manager, J. E. Cut­
ler.
On the twenty acres s:tuated in the ex­
treme northeast corner of this tract, a deep
working shaft is being put dovrnby the
comp·any. This shaft, which is n<lw approx­
imately fifty feet, has been in ore practical­
ly from the surface. It looks like a payer
from the grass roots, and the showing has
steadily Improved as depth has been at­
tained.
The shaft is 8x10 in the clear, and the
entire opening is in quartz. A recent aver­
age assay gave $28 to the ton, and subse­
quently there has appeared across vein,
the value of which is $20 to the ton. The
ore was first opened under one of the char­
acteristic "rock piles."
Just as soon as weather conditions will
permit it is the intention to install heavy
h()isting machinery, together with air com­
pressor, and push this shaft as rapidly as
possible to 500 feet.
This property is traversed generally by
float ranging from large boulders carrying
pay values, to the so-caUed "brick-bat" ore
which has yielded up to $3,500 to the ton.
The ,source of this "brick bat" float is ex­
pected to be found here, ans this discovery,
it is generally conceded, will result in the
opening of a rich bonanza.
The A. L. Arnold Property.
On thi.s same school section and adjoin­
ing the operations to the W'E\st of the Modoc
Mines company, A. L. Arnold, that well
known Cripple Creek and Denver broker,
has acquired twenty acres, and the indica­
lions are that it will prove as valuable as
the property operated by the Modoc Mines
company. There are numemus of Arnold's
clients interested with .him, but at this
time their project is not incorporated.
The Sunshine Property.
To the south and east of the Modoc
Mines company property and touching one
corner of its property, lies the Sunshine.
This is the property whicn has brought tame
to High Grade. One half carload of ore
·brought $8,000. Some of the ore from this
shipment assayed as high as $15,000 per
ton.
The values on this property were ,badly
overlooked for awhile, but the vein runs
east and west and is what might be termed
"very persistent"-and is easily traceable
from 1,800 feet or more. On this property
is f<lund the "Rock Piles' characteristic of
the camp and the phenomenal values are
found practically on the surface.
The property is owned by the Llewellyn
Mining & Milling company of Los Angeles.
In addition to the Sunshine claim, this com­
pany owns the Last Dollar claim--one of
great promise.
The Big Four.
To the south of the abDve- mentioned
properties lie the properties known as the
Big Four. These are insection "1." The
claim,s are known as the Big Bonanza, Bo­
nanza King, Golden Treasure, and the Gold­
en Knight. These are adjoined by what is
known as the Huckleberry claims Nos. 1
and 2.
The Big Four is an interesting property,
insofar that it has a large blowout or dyke,
occurring above ground, and estimated to
contain a matter 01' 50,000 tons of ore, the
average value of whiCh is better than $4
to the ton. It is stated that this entire mass
could 'be milled at a profit.
In a 100-foot shaft on this property there
has been opened two feet of ore good for
$30, and a five-stamp mill for handling the
product of this mine is now completed.
The property is owned by the Big Four
Mining & Milling company_
Bidwell Discovery.
The properties known as the Discovery
property comprise 110 acres of very choice
ground, among which are the following
claims: The Oregon, California, Hardtack,
Nine-Thirty, Goldwedge Fraction and the
Archerton. They have also a mill site for
power and mining purposes. There are
great quantities of 'good mining timber on
all the claims. The claims run along in a
northwesterly and southeasterly direction,
and cut diagonally across Mineral Hill, and
C()Ver a network of mineral bearing veins.
The leads are well defined.
The first discovery in this district was
made on the Oregon. This claim has three
distinct leads running parallel with the
claim, and extend into the California claim,
rw'here they come together in a porphyry
dike some 200 feet east of the Oregon. On
the Oregon claim, on the first of these
leads, is a shaft 15 feet deep. SpeCimen
ore from a vein in this shaft, which is 20
inches wide, between porphyry walls, shows
values running into the thousands of dol­
lars.
The second lead, or vein, on the Oregon,
has been crosscut ·by a tunnel, and drifted
on for a distance of 115 feet west, to a
depth of 120 feet, in the ·bottom· of the
drift showing ore ·of an average width of
three feet. This is a fissure vein, slightly
stained with copper and lime, lying between
porphyry w·alls.
 16 THE SAL T L A K E MIN I N G REV lEW, APR I L 30, 1 9 1 2.
Another vein lies north of this, probably
200 feet. and is a contact vein of porphyry
and phonolite. It has not been reached by
the tunnel, which is now 196 feet and was
started on the California claim.
The first two veins. which are seventy­
three feet apart on the surface, are but
thirteen feet apart in the tunnel.
Another ledge has been found on the
California, running almost north and south,
bearin'g ,about 10 degrees west. This ledge
shows a width of about fifteen feet on the
surface, and runs' with the formation, cut­
ting diagonally across the California claim,
and through the northeast corner of the
Oregon. This is a well-defined lead, and is
the largest on the claims. The ore is of a
black color quartz, intermixed with white
crystallized quartz and lime, the hardest
at the ore carrying very fine grain sulphur­
ets. Assays from this black ore, picked .
samples, run as high as $173 per ton.
The Hardtack lies west of the North
Star, and about 100 feet from where the
strike was made an that claim, and on the
same lead. This has a fair...slzed ledge of
very good milling ore.
The Archerton lies west of the Oregon,
and shows every indication of covering the
extending leads of the Oregon ledges. It is
also a well·timbered claim.
The Goldwedge is a !fraction of half a
claim, and is very nicely situated between
the Oregon and Sunset claims. both of
which have a reputation f<Jl' good ore.
The values found in the Goldwedge are
in a brecciated porpyry on a phonolite con­
tact, and show evidence of having a large
vein, although the values are not high. This
claim is undeveloped.
The Nine Thirty is the easterly exten­
sion of the California claim, and has large
deposits of sulphide ore. This claim is on
the boundary of the mlIl site. The mill
site Is located on this claim.
Evening Star and Other Claims.
To the south of all of the above proper·
ties lie several claims of promise, the Red
Quartz. the White Quartz, the M~mntain
Sheep, the Alturas No.1, No.2, No.3, No.
4, and the Evening Star. These are spoken
of as the Eevining Star group.
There appears to be adverse claims with­
in the group and the Evening Star is in
oonfiict with the Mountain Sheep.
On the Evening Star ore assaying $162
a ton at surface has been found and it Is
reported that a leaser named Grigsby, in an
arrastra, out of six tons by this crude meth·
od, cleaned up $165 a ton on ore taken from
the property.
Klondike and Gold Peak.
To the west of the Evening Star group
in section 11 lie two claims known as the
Klondike and Gold Peak, which 'give prom·
ise of ,becoming the surprise of the camp.
On this property are found those ty'pical
rock piles under which, in this camp, is like­
ly to be found that "specimen stuff" that
makes men rich over night. Furthermore,
the formation is such that it has been pro·
nounced that there is here a great "chimney
of ore."
These two clai:ms, comprising some
thirty-five acres, are considered among the
most likely in the camp of High Grade.
They are splendidly situated, being the
dose neighbor of the fabulous Mountain
View performer-said to rival the great
Sunshine in richness.
The Gold Peak and Klondike have long
attracted prosp~ctors and operators, 'by rea­
son of the most inviting character and ap·
pearance of the ore. At a depth of sixty
feet the entire shaft Is in quart.z, the aver·
age value of which is conservatively placed
at $12 to the ton-a good grade of profit·
abJe mill material.
This ore, it is though, :will show an im·
provement with depth, an'd there would seem
to be no question as to its permanecy. With
further prospecting, too, the extension of
the rich Mountain View vein will likely be
opened on this property, and accordingly
tnose familiar with the showing are pro·
claiming that the Gold Peak and the Klon­
dike will early take their places among the
big bonanzas of the district.
The, properties were-recently acquired
by Albert Wagner, the former mining oper­
ator and broker of Cripple Creek-at one
time manager of the Pharmacist mine, the
first dividend payer of Cripple Creek. The
High Grade Gold Mines corporation has
been Incorporated under the laws of Wyom·
ing to take over the Gold Peak and the
Klondike. The company is capitalized for
1,500,000 shares, par value $I a share.
A strong and entirely practical mining
directorate has been elected, which will as·
sure the best handling of this most promis·
ing High Grade enterprise. The president
is Albert Wagner; vice·president and mine
manager, J. F. Cutler; secretary-treasurer,
A. L. Arnold; other directors, N. E. Guyot
and M. E. Wagner. The oUice of the com­
pany is at 1759 Stout street, Denver, Colo.
Fort Bidwell Consolidated.
The neighbor of the Klondike and Gold
Peak to the south is another of High
Grade's prize-winning properties so far.
The Mountain View is at this time sack·
ing $1,000 a ton ore, and the streak is said
to be 10 inches wide and splendid values
on both sides. This property belongs to
the Fort Bidwell Consolidated company.
This company owns, in addition to the
Mountain View, the Sugar Pine claims and
has some 20 or 25 claims. The Mountain
View is opened by a crosscut tunnel to the
vein and a drift along the vein for 200
feet and on a level below for about 50 feet
along the vein. The development shows
two shoots of ore, one about 40 feet long,
of high grade ore averaging over $250 a
ton and about a foot wide, While the other
shoot is from four to six feet wide
going from $4 to $6 a tun with high
streaks. This ore from the Mountain

ounces, looks good to any experienced min­
ing man, and thIs showing is at a depth of
only twenty feet from the surface.
The Sunset.
To the north of the North Star claim,
in sections 11, 12, 13 and 14, lies the Sun­
set claim.
The Sunset is another' case of unpro­
ductive blind tunnel operation, with for­
tune staring the operators in the face right
at surface. There is an open cut on this
property where there is disclosed, some
750 tons of ore. Twenty-six samJ;lles taken
on this ore yielded assays ranging from
$10 to 13 ounces gold to the ton.
Instead of staying with the ore, or bet­
ter still, taking it out and reducing it to
bullion, they'went dOwn the hill and drove
a 300-foot tunnel right away from the vein.
Such an instance as this might serve to
answer any probable query as to why this
camp has not made good during the years
it apparently has been known.
The Sunset, it is stated. has plenty of
$50 ore, and is situated close to a custom
mill of the Chllea.n variety which handles
40 tons of ore a day.
Pine Creek Leasing Company.
The property of the Pine Creek Leasing
& Ming company is situated on the north­
east slope of YelJow mountain.
The Pine Creek Leasing & Mining com­
pany owns and has deeds to the following
properties:
The Fern, Huckelberry No.3, and two­
fifths interest in Mineral Spring.
The Fern has a 50-foot shaft showing
good values, and with as fine a lode as any
miner ever looked at, from which selected
samples have been taken assaying away

The present developments comprise

feet down. has been uncovered, which as­
says from $6 to $80 per ton, gold and silo

Mount Vida Company.
The Mount Vida Gold Milling & Milling
company owns the following group of
claims, located in the di"trict in sections
13. 14, and 23, T. 47, N., R. 15 E, which
are, Whiskey Diggings. Gotham, Bald

ooncentrates or cyaniding, ,and tlhe style of
mill. It is impossible to try to indicate in
a positive way exactly what method should
be used in each case, without invoking a
storm of criticism, but the .general prin­
ciples can be stated.
Dry Crushing vs. Wet Crushing.
Dry-crushing was formerly much in
vogue, but the recent development of w-et­
crushing ,methods and, to a greater extent,
the perfec-tion {).j' slime-filtering devices, has
relegated the dry-crushing of gold-silver
ores to the background. Whether dry or
wet-crushing sihould be used depends upon
the fineness 1t is desired to crush to, upon
the treatment to be given the ore, and upon
the condition of the ore. Dry-crushing is
,admirably adapted for 'crushing to a
quarter or eighth mesh, OT much finer; but
for very fine dry-crushing the standard roll
method is not a desirable one, though it is
hoped that ball or tube mills will be per­
fected for this purpose_ For fine orushing
the wet method _appears more satisfactory.
The change from dry to wet-crushing has,
in some instances, resulted in a higher ex­
traction, and the general belief is that wet­
crushing will give the highest extraction.
Dry-crushing is necessary where the ore
must be roasted_
WlIere it is necessary to amalgamate
the coarse gold which the cyanide solutiQn
will not -dissolve, or concentrate the sul­
phides, wet-crushing should be resorted to,
as a success ~annot be made in attempt­
ing to get the necessary eVen fiow of pulp
in sluclng from a 'cyanide tank to malaga­
mating plates or concentrators. Dry-erush­
ing ·for cyaniding purposes presUlmes leach­
ing; some ores contain suoh a larp-e amQunt
of clayey, slimey material that the cyan­
ide solutiQn and dissolved values cannot be
displaced from the slimey material, even
though the tanks leach well. For such ores
the wet-crushing, leaf-filter1ng system is
advisable_ Other slimey ores do not lea.ch
well when finely ground. Considerable
trouble is experienced in dry-crushing an
ore that is delivered wet and sticky to the
mill, unless passed through dryers, or an
ore that is extremely hard. Dry-crushing
is well adapted to a dry ore of not more
than medium hardnes,s that requires only
·coarsecrushing, and from which all the

Water or Cyanide Solution.
Whether crushing shall be done in
water or cyanide ,solution depends upon
many factors. The principal factor is the
care and elaborateness with which the mill
has been constructed, as indicating whether
there would be any loss of the cyanide so­
lution as it circulates about the mill. The
loss from leakage of cyanide solution in
,B'ome mills is high, especially in small
mills. Equally important is the question
as to whether amalgamation or concentra­
tion is to be practiced, and the effect cruElh­
ing in solution might have upon them. If
the ore ,contains much copper, lead, or sub­
stances deleterious to cyaniding, that can
be removed before reaching the cyanide
plant, the crushing should be done in
water. Crushing in solution is a great aid
to cyaniding in that the ore is at once
brought into contact with the solution and
under such agitation as causes the values
to go into solution quickly, thus materially
.reducing the size of plant needed. It also
permits using more wash water, just as
with dry-crushed ore, to keep up the bulk
of solution circulating about the plant; III
this way the cyanide solution carryIng gold
and silver is more completely displaced
from the tailings before being dumped out.
Should amalgamation be practiced de­
pends largely upon the ab!lity of the cya­
nide plant to gather the same amount of
value into the clean-up if amalgamation be
dispensed with. If a particle of gold is
caught upon the plates, practically 100 per
cent of it is obtained, but if it passes on
to a leaky and poor cyanide plant, less
than 100 per cent is obtained. The per­
centage that can be amalgamated is also

<Important. - If only 10 or 20 per cent can
:'be amalgamated, it may be desirable to dis·
~_pense with amalgamation, since the cost of
the procedure overcomes the value of
catching such a small amount. If 60 or 80
per cent of the gold can be obtained by
amalgamation, it is certainly desirable to
practice It. If some of the gold is coarse
so that cyanide solution cannot completely
dissolve it within a reasoneble length of

time, amalgamation should be used, unless
some sort of fine grinding is used. that will
tend to disintegrate the coarse gold and
aid in its complete dissolution.
Amalgamation in cyanide solution is
comparatively satisfactory since careful
work is not 00 essential as mere cyaniding
does not follow. Such amalgamation aims
to take out all the coarse gold and as much
of the fine· as possible. The size of the
particles of gold is -important, since, If ex­
tremely fine, as much as one-half of the
possible amalgamable gold ll1ay 'De dissolv­
ed by the cyanide solution before it can be
amalgamated. Crushing in solution is of
doubtful propriety In such cases, even with
a. good cyanide plant.
Fine or Coarse Crushing.
Should fine, medium, or coarse crushing
be done, depends upon how much better an
extraction can be obtained by finer crush­
ing in relation to the increased cost of such
treatment. Generally, the finer the crush­
ing, the higher the percentage of extrae·
tion. With high-grade ores, this additional
percentage of extraction by finer grinding
usually gives a good profit, but as the grade
of the ore lessens, a point is reaehed where
the additional extraction is balanced by the
additional cost of the finer grinding, and
resultant method of teratment. As to how
fine a. crushing should be done can only be
told from extended experiments and Sizing
tests showing the additional extraction by
grinding to different degrees of fineness, in
oomparison to the costs, and viewed from
a general business standpoint. -Certain
types of filtering devices require the ore to
be ground to a high -degree of comminu­
ftc'
tion, without regard to whether there is
any increased extraction or not. This is
clearly wrong, for the cost of crushing and
grinding ,increases very fast as finer pul­
verization is approached. The filtering de­
vices ahould be secondary to the treatment
required by the ore and not the reverse.
Question of Concentration.
If concentrating shaH be done depends
upon the grade and amount of the suI·
phides and their amenability to profitable
treatment, either while eontained with the
pulp without being concentrated out, Or as
a separate product from the concentrators.
\Vhen the sulphides are low in value, say
up to $20 per ton, and give a fair extrac·
tion while being treated with the pulp, it
may not be advisable to concentrate them
out, for the reaosn that the eost of the ad­
ditional plant, of the eoncentrating, and of
the separate treatment of the sulphides,
The Dorr Olassifier
would not pay a profit. As the grade ot
the sulphides increase and their amena­
bility to quick action by cyanide treatment
decreases, concentration ana separate trea,,­
ment are required. At one time it was ,cus­
tomarY, in South Africa, to take the under­
flow from cone <Classifiers which contained
most of the heavy sulphides and coarser
sand, and give the same a separate and
prolonged treatment by cyanide, but the
system never came into use in America.
The gold and silver concentrates pro­
duced by most mills can be more profitably
handled by cyanidation on the ground than
by shipment to the smelters. Formerly,
leaching with strong cyanide solution for
a long continued length of time, was the
method used.
The Kelly Filter Press.
This gave a rather low extraetion and
is now only resorted to where the expense
of a more elaborate plant is not justifiable.
The present method of treating sulphides is
to grind them to a _slime by tube-mill or
grinding mill, agitate with cyanide solu­
tion, and then filter. At first the rich cya­
nide solution was removed by decantation,
as none of the filtering devices were suit·
able. However, the KeIly filter -press was
found adaptable and is now being used for
filtering concentrates. With the non-pres·
ure leaf-filters nearly an hour is consumed
in getting a cake upon the leaves, during
which time the sulphides, by their high
specific gravity, settle out of the pulp,
making it practically impossIble to get a
good cake. The Kelly, being a pressure
filter, makes a cake within a few minutes
and before the sulphides ean settle. While
there are other types of pressure filters,
none of them seem able to give the careful
wash neeessary when working with the rich
solutions associated with sulphide cyanida­
tion. Fine grinding of sulphides in connec­
'tion with agitation is now giving a high
extraetion at a reasonable cost.
A Boost for Stamps.
It was at first thought that the develop­
ment of the new and advanced gold-silver
metallurgy-crushing in solution, all-sliming,
agitation, filtering, etc., would relegate the
stamp·mill to the background. But it has
only restricted the stamp mill to being a
medium and fine crusher. Almost without
exception the recent plants built along the
lines of advaneed metallurgy~as we may
term it-have installed stamps. Advanced
meallurgy, through its ability to handle the
slimes, has, in turning the tide from dry to

THE OUTLOOK IN UTAH.
EYerything indicates that this wm be a
most prosperous year in mining circles in
'Utap.. The winter has been long and severe,
and in many of the leading camps the 'Snow
is still deep, and the roads hardly passable.
But, du'ring enforced idleness plans have
been perfected for extensive operation, for
needed machinery and mine and mill equip·
ment, which will be carefully carried out in
the very near future. The advance in quo­
tations on silver, lead and copper has
brought cheer to the heart of every mine
owner, of the possessor of every promising
prospect, and hope has been revived in the
breast of everyone who may, in any 'way or
manner, be interested in the mining indus­
try. The smelters are preparing for a great­
ly increased mineral output, and the develop­
ment of every property Is being watched
with the keenest interest. From every sec­
tion of the state activity will be witnessed
in the mining line; and, this very satisfac­
tory condition' is being felt by machinery
dealers, by those who handle mine and mill
supplies, for they already report that busi­
ness is no.w better with them than has been
the case for a number o.f years past. In
fact, some of these houses state that they

 THE SAL T LA K E MIN I N G REV lEW, APR I L 30, 1912.
The Prospector
and His Burro
(By Will C. Higgins.)
"You say," said the prospector to his
burro, "that a burro should follow a nose­
bag full of barley just the same as 'the con·
stitution should follow the flag,' which is a
pretty bright thing for one of your meek and
lowly appearance, and apparent lack of brain
power, to say; which all goes to show that
we should not ju~ge entirely by appearances,
as it is often that the 'sour-dough' with his
feet wraped in gunny sacks has more of the
long·green in his belt than the promotor who
sports a ten·carat imitation diamond on his
finger. Your remark, however, should have
a more wide-spread application than the
mere reference to a feed of barley; and, as
you make some pretensions of being In the
mining game, you might as 'well add that the
proper caper is to 'follow your are,' as well;
for if there is anything that puts a. crimp in
the mining industry that is on a par with
the oiling of copper plates in an amalgama­
tion mill. it Is the habit that some so-called
mining men have of running away from their
ore. Why they should do so no experienced
man can tell, unless It is for the purpose of
prolonging a job to which a good salary is
attached; or because thl? mine owner is
afraid that he will become suddenly rich
and thereby become the victim of a hOld·
up; or from fear that the bunch of are if
followed, will eventually pinch out, to· the
detriment of his reputation as a far-seeing
mining man; and the loss of his job, as well.
There are some men, however, who seem to
think that the main object of mining is to
run cross-cut tunnels, no matter in what di­
. rection, and to sink shafts in barren ground;
anything, in fact, that will keep a goodly
force of men at work for months, until the
treasury of the company Is exhausted; and,
if are is really encountered, it is an accident
rather than the result of a determined ef­
fort to find it. This is not real mining, how·
ever; none whatever, and it Is just such
" practice as this that results in keeping a
. good camp down,and in discouraging really
. . earnest investors and capitalist'S from keep·
: Ing on with the mining game.
" "Yo, ,,,m to think it i, ,Illy fo' any
mining man to put up his good, hard cash,
and that of his uncles, his nieces, his cousins
and his aunts; in the endeavor to uncover
an ore-body, and then to run away from it
when he has found it; and, that a'S for you. if
you were fortunate enough to find yourself
in intimate companionship with a sack of
barley. you would stay with it until there
was nothing more to it than a last year's
bird's·nest; and that you might eventually
eat the nest. AU of which shows your
intelligence, which. if put to test by fire a'S­
say, would at least show a trace of good
sen'Se, which is a great deal more than can
be said of some of the mining men I know of
in these diggings.
"Speaking of 'following ()1our ore' re­
minds me of an incident that came under
my notice a few years ago, when I was out
in the Queenah range looking for one of
the lost mines we hear so much about, but
w.hich are so rarely found again. I had
been in that part o,f the country for nearly
two weeks when I accidentally ran into the
camp of a couple of half·breed Mexicans
who were developing a group of claims for
a Philadelphia syndicate which had more
money than good sense, and which was hav­
ing the development of its ground carried
on under contract. For five years the syndi­
'cate had been putting up the dough. and
for five years these greasers had been put­
ting in their time and drawing down good
pay; but, although indications were most
promising, it seemed as if pay ore would
never be found, and the syndicate was get­
ting a little weary as well as a littl~ leary;
for, the day after my arrival, a representa­
tive of the company appeared on ~he scene,
and it was not long before he was on good
term'S with me. One night, at my camp, he
asked my opinion of the proposition, and I
told him that I had made up my mind that
there was something rotten somewhere, as,
since my advent into that locality I had be­
come convinced that the greasers were not
doing Justice to their employers, as I had
examined the outcrops and was convInced
that a little intelligent development would
open up a large body of rich are. He then
told me that the Mexicans had been wanting
to get a working lease on the mine and
that he had been sent out to see If the prop·
erty was really in such a discouraging con­
dition as represented. During the day he
had been through the mine workings and
every face was in country rock which was
a'S barren of mineral signs as a cobble stone
in New York; and he had almost decided
to let the two have the lease they wanted.
I suggested, however, that he wait a day or
two before arriving at a decision, and that
in the morning he might get the men from
the mine under pretext of wanting to visit a
big spring some five miles distant which
might eventuallY be used for milling and
camp purposes. He did this, and, while they
were away I made a careful examination of
the mine workings. To a casual observer
23
everything seemed to be all right. But, In
one place, in the roof of one of the tunnels,
I noticed that quite a space had been pIa'S·
tered over with muck. Digging through this
thin covering I found the rock underneath
to be strongly mineral bearing. Then I be­
gan tapping on the wall rock on the side,
and soon detected a hollow sound. At the
point where the answer to the pick was
most responSive I began breaking down
what I soon found to be a bulkhead very
cunningly constructed; and, once inside of
this I found a short drift, in the face of
which was exposed five feet of the prettie'St
gold ore I have ever seen. The rock fairly
glistened with the yellow metal, and 1
judged would assay $1,500 to the ton. In
another locality in the mine workings I
found another place that had been walled off
from the regular tunneL Behind this, also,
I found a large body of splendid ore; and,
in still another place a strong vein had been
cut through, and its existence so dexterlous­
ly concealed that the ordinary mining man
would never suspect its exl'Stence. But, tak·
ing it all in all. I had disclosed bodIes of
ore worth a fortune, and it was no wonder
to me that the Mexicans wanted to lease
the property. It was late at night before the
representative of the syndi~ate returned
from his exploring expedition, and the greas­
ers went to bed immediately after' eating
supper. At the first opportunity I signaled
the company man, giving him the high sign
that I wanted to 'See him privately; and,
when I told him what I .had discovered, he
was so excited that he wanted to return to
the cabin and confront the pepper eaters
with their perfidy; but I restrained him, and
pointed out the danger of precipitate action.
Late into the night we planned on a course
of action, and, in the morning the Mexicans,
who had completed their contract, were paid
off in full, and informed' that it had been de­
cided not to lease the property, and that I
had been placed in charge as mine manager.
They looked ugly for awhile, but when they
saw that I was fully armed and ready for
quick action, and that the company repre­
sentative had a big .44 in his holster that
was just aching to go off, they packed their
glad rags and hiked down the canyon like
scared rabbit'S. In a week I had ten good
miners working on ore. In six months the
company had $50,000 to its credit in the
bank in the county seat, and, in two years
the mine had produced a million and had
paid '750,000 in dividends. Ever since the
property has been productive. Some time
ago it was equipped with a Lane Slow Speed
Chilian mill for the treatment of low grade
ores, and it looks as if it would be a good
money maker for many years to come.

cluded the prospector, "when I see. that a

THE MET ALLURGY OF LEAD
WRITTEN FOR THE MINING REVIEW BY H. B. PULSlFIER
ROASTING AND SINTERING l.EAD ORE.
(Continued.)
The development of the Huntington·He·
tion; or, if caught in a bag house, of n~
processes all meant more than simply better
and cheaper methods of roasting and sinter­
ing Jead ores, and three other result'S stand
(Jut as strong steps in the advance of metal·
lurgical practice, namely: Less volatiza­
tion, decreased amounts of sulphur trioxld~
in the gas, and using the sulphur content of
the ore as fuel without resorting to other
and costly 'Source of heat.
It is not to be understood that anyone
of these steps was complete or final, but an
advance in the right direction. Under the

intense and long-continued heat in the hand·
raked reverberatory, losses of lead and silo
ver were too great to allow the sintering of
many commercial ores. They were roasted
as well as poosible and charged into the
blast furnace, although much too finely gran·
ular. In the roast pots and under the in·
fluence of the forced blast the reactions take
place much more quickly and losses are
considerably reduced. If the pots are work·
ing well no one portion of the charge is hot
all of the time; the oxidation and sintering
progresses upward in more or lells of a hor·
izontal plane, with fairly cool sections above
and below. This is a distinct aid in keeping
the amount of fume low.
In the same way. with regard to the pro·
duction of sulphur trioxide; that substance
which, on contact with water forms sul­
phuric acid; the prolonged and repeated con­
tact of hot . ore and hot gases formed SuI·
phates in the reverberatory furnace. On
breaking down at the tim2 of slag·
ging, the sulphur trioxide, liberated,
escaped through the flues ana ent·
ered the air to devasta~e vegeta·
cessity was neutralized and'rendered innocu·
ous before coming in contact with the bags.
By roasting in pots the quick reaction, and
localized hot zone, has much decreased the
amount of this oxide of sulphur which is
formed. It is true that with the removal of
the sulphur an oxide is formed and that this
oxide escapes into the air; but it is the
.,dioxide, a substance far different from the
trioxide. It haa no particular harmful ef·
fect upcin woolen bags, nor upon vegetation,
when diluted with air to that extent which
naturally comes when delivered Into the air
from the top of a stack two hundred or more
feet high.
The matter of using the inherent fuel
value of the ore is great economy. Prac·
tically it is a matter of many dollars and
centll, and in practice, too, it is a big step
in the art of control and in the art '0:( guid­
ing the inherent forces in materials. One
sighs in relief that we have at last partly
conquered the refractory sulphides. Could
the sulphides realize, they, too, would like·
Iy be relieved that they are no longer out·
raged in reverberatories, but allowed to ex·
press their desired reactions in POts and
under the influence of the gentle blast.
The roast made in converter J10tll is bet·
ter than reverberatory roast because it
smelts better; in parUcular, It smelts faster.
It is much cheaper to prodUce because it reo
quires less hand labor and less extraneous
fuel. At first the pots were rather small,

holding only a ton; with proficiency the size
was increased until standard practice now
uses converters holding eight tons, while
even larger have been built. If the charge
is pre-roasted, fuel will be required for this
part of the process, but nIYne in the pots;
sometimes the bed of the charge is made of
hot pre·roast with a layer of diluted sui·
phides on top; sometimes the whole charge
is of diluted sulphides, in which case fuel is
required in the bottom of the converter to
start the reaction. This latter is the com­
mon practice at Midvale, Uah, where the
c{lnverters have the form of stall'S instead
of pots. When the charge is roasted the
front of the stall is raised and the sintered
cake is pushed out from behind with a ram.
The cost of labor is still the main item
of expense. It has now become labor to
operate machinery instead of using labor as
a source of power. With the reverberatory,

furnace men toiled with heavy rabbles by
the side of the hot furnace to stir and push
the ore along the red hot hearth, a few
pounds at a time; with converters the ore is
dropped in with chutes or from hoppers.
Men level off the charges and break up blow·
holes if they develop, but the cake is reo
m(l<Ved bodily by tipping or pushing, or a
crane picking up the pot and all, and dump­
ing the -cake out bodily. The cake is broken
by droping or by dropping a weight upon it
until the pieces will enter the large crushers
provided, which crush to the size required
for blast furnace work.
All the good things we have said of blast­
roasting in pots or in stalls are to be inten·
sified in regard to sinter-roasting, as may be
done with down-draft practice in continuous
. machines, or in pans. Down·draft means
BUcking air down through the ignited
<:barge by means of an exhaust fan. For
this work the charge is best in a fairly thin
layer, not over ten inches thick, and as the
discharge may take place by merely freeing
the cake at the end of the continuous mao
chine, or by inversion of the pan, it is no re­
version to manual labor.
The sintering of the charge is accom­
plishedeven more 'Satisfactorily than in con­
verters. Sulphur elimination is equally
good, volatilization is less; evolution of sul­
phur trioxide probably likewise less, while
total operating cost is decreased.
To Dwight and Lloyd we owe the devel­
opment of the principle of the continuous
operation, while to Greenawalt is due par­
ticular credit' for showing us how to roa'St
with down-draft on cast iron grates, and for
much research in connection with the oper·
ation of intermittent pans.
In the Greenawalt patent No. 839,065 is­
sued December 18, 1906, the use of suction
acting downward in connection with a por·
ous bed is clearly specified in these words:
(Claim 5.)
"5. An ore-treating process consisting
in placing the ore upon a porous bed, sub­
jecting the same to heat, and passing the
resulting fumes or a portion thereof down
through the bed by suction acting from be­
neath the bed."
This patent was the result of work in
trying to improve the efficiency of zinc
roasting furnaces, but was broad enough to
cover the case of treating other ores as
welL It is apparently a chronic disposition
of patents to aspire to usefulness In fields
not at the time of particular significance,
but which may be fertile a little later; it
happened thus with this patent, for im·
proving zinc roasing died, but the develop­
ment came with lead ores and we find the
Dwight-Lloyd patent No. 882,517 of March
25
17, 1908, virtually an incorporation of the
Greenawalt idea. Claim 12 in this patent
reads as follows:
"12. The process for roasting finely
divided ores or metallurgical products con·
taining sulfur or other combustible ele·
ments and sintering or agglomerating the
particles of the roasting material into a co­
herent mass, through the action of the heat
generated by internal combustion, which
consists in disposing said fine material in a
layer upon a support, substantially as set
forth, whereby there are gas exit passages
provided below the said layer; igniting the
material at its upper 'Surface, causing a
current or currents of suitable OXidizing
gas to pass downward through the said sur­
face, and under uniform distribution over
the same, and to pass thence in a downward
direction through the layer and through the
gas exits below it, whereby the combustion
is carried from said upper ignited surface
downward through the mass to the lower
surface thereof, maintaining all particles of
the mass under treatment in a relatively
quiescent state, whereby is effected the com­
plete sintering together of the roasted par·
ticles into a coherent cake, and finally reo
moving the cake or sintered mass independ­
ently of its supporting or holding devices,
substantially as set forth."
A patent granted to Charles VatUer, De­
cember 26, 1893, (No. 511,476), embodied
many of the principles of Dwight-Lloyd sin·
tering, especially the restraining of exit sur­
face. The other ideas of sintering had been
either long practiced ("sinter-calcining" was
a term used by Percy, in 1870,) or specifi­
cally embodied in the patents of Huntington
and Heberlein; the Carmichael-Bradford
patent, the Savel'Sberg patents, the patent of
Greenawalt and that of Herbert Haas (No.
808,361, December 2, 61905). The second
patent, No. 882,518, March 1.7, 1908, which
expounds the idea of the continuous ma­
chine_
Attempts to restrain a surface and force
a current of air through are apparently ill
taken. It makes no difference whether the
air is sent up through from below or forced
down from above, channelling inevitably
begins at the surface of entrance and breaks
out on the opposite surface; restraining the
surface of exit can only partially allay the
difficulty. Forcing the air down through
the charge and out through the grate was
tried at Port Pirie, Australia, where the re­
sults were disastrous, due to too much chan·
elling, and the irregular sintering of the
charge_
By far the best way of all to get uni­
form and complete sintering is to IgnIte the
upper layer of the charge and draw the
blast and combustive layer down through to
,the grate. This has been embodied in the
continuous machines and intermittent pans.

parently going to be done for nothing, 0:'
a half dozen conversions of energies is pro­
posed to accomplish a very questionable re­
sult; each conversion being followed by
losses tending to defeat the object in
view; whereas, every phase or the Humph­
rey cycle brings the response of natural
laws in its favor, and each movement auto­
matically provides for the next with radl­
cally reduced losses, compared with other
prime mover's or pumps. The apparatus
ts the acme of Simplicity and costs half as
much in the first il1lltallation, and one·half
to one-fifth as much in operation.

steady demand are rapidly being Jepleted.
The shipments were sent out by the
Primos and W:olf Tongue companies, who
have made a general clean-up :md arc send­
ing out their product while ~lJe roads are
open, which under the weather con1itions
likely to prevail during the uext ~hirty days,

The Primos company has commenced
sinking on the Conger shaft and will go to
1,000 feet before stopping, after which levels
will be run to open up the ore bodies. The
big mill is being overhauled and will start ,
as soon all the roads are in condition so a
steady supply of ore can be furnished.
The Wolf 'Tongue company is now oper·

UTAH COAL FIELDS: a Magnificent Source of Natural Wealth
BY W. H. CALVERT"
It may be accepted as axiomatic that
industrial development depends in large
measure on cheap and abundant fuel sup­
ply. In certain favored Sections water
power may render fuel as a source of en­
ergy a less vital necessity, but in general
the availabiUty of fuel in some form is the
element for first consideration in the es­
tablishment of any industrial enterprise.
Manufacturing centers are not due to
chance, but are controlled as to location
largely by the factor of readily available
source of power, dependent in turn chiefly
upon coal. Just as according to a popular
saying of several years ago that "the Con­
stitution follows the flag," so does indus­
trial development proceed to those locali­
ties where the fuel or power element is
readily obtainable.
If the foregoing stafelments can be ac­
cepted as a foundation for prophecy, then
Utah is destined to become a notable fac­
tor in the industrial world, for outside of
Pennsylvania and West Virginia few, if any,
miles underlain by available fuel. A single
states can boast of a great quantity of,
high grade fuel. When it is considered
further that in the states north, south, and
west of Utah coal of hituminous grade is
confined to widely scattered areas, each of
limited extent, the assurance that Utah
will eventually occupy a commanding po­
sition with respect to industrial develop­
ment becomes more and more evident. In
:t'I.evada, for instance, the writer is not
aware of a single area where high grade
coal is present. In Idaho the coal-bearing
area, aside from scattered deposits of lig­
nite, is confined to a district west of Teton
Basin. Western Montana contains little, if
any, bituminous coal. In Washington good
coal, some of which is of coking quality,
is found only in a belt of territory adja­
cent to the west foothills of the Cascade
mountains, and again in the vicinity of
Roslyn on the Northern Pacific railway.
Oregon contains no deposits of bituminous
coal so far as known. In Califrnia coal of
any character is very limited in areal ex­
tent, and in Arizona practically no coal
has thus far been exploited. Compare
these conditions with those ob~aining in
Utah, and one basis for optimism on the
part of local residents is apparent.
Of the various Utah coal fields, that
deSignated as the Book Cliffs field is the
largest and best known_ The Book Cliffs con­
stitute a striking topographic feature on

the viCinity of Helper, a distance of ap­
proximately 120 miles; thence they swing
southward for about 80 miles and coalesce
with the mountains of volcanic origin
southwest of Emery. To the traveler com­
ing into Utah over the Denver & Rio
Grande for the first time, these cliffs are
of great interest because of the a:brupt face
of massive sandstone, modified here and
there by erosion into fantastic forms of
crag, pinnacle, and castellated embayment,
contrasting markedly with the somewhat
monotonous stretches of country to the
south. Were the traveler aware that the
apparently thin black ribbon visible for
miles along the face of the cliffs repre­
sents the outcrop of a high·grade coal, he
would marvel less at the peculiar types of
topographic expression a'ld more at Na­

ture's prodigality in making the region one
of tremendous intrinsic wealth.
In this field, and occurring in what is
known to geologists as thll' Mesaverde for­
'illation, are one or more beds of coal whose
perSistency and excellent quality have been
amply demonstrated. Comparatively speak­
ing, the coal of this area has scarcely been
touched, although many thousand tons of
fuel are produced yearly by the various
mines operating along 'the margin of .the
Book Cliffs. In order to give some concep­
tion of the fuel tonnage of this field it may
be well to cite figUres, a'pproximate as they
must necessarily be.
Absolute data for an estimate of ton­
nage are, of course, nm available, but cer­
taln conservative factors may be conSider­
ed in order to arrive at concrete results.
Everywhere in the Book Cliffs field the
29
strata enclosing the coal lie nearly hori­
zontal, or with such a moderate dip that
entries can be driven far back from the
coal outcrop without involving excessive
Uft to the entry mouth. Assuming that
along the 120 mile front of the Book Cliffs
from the Colorado state line west to Hel­
per, coal can be reached back from the out­
crop for a tiistance of six miles, then abcout
720 square miles would be underlain by
accessible coal. South from Helper to the
limit of the field, or about eighty miles, as
stated previously, this distance of six miles
from the face of the escapement is too con­
servative, due c,hiefly to the fact that
stream valleys form re-entrants that allow
ready access to the coal a conSiderable dis­
tance 'back from the main cliff front.
Probably fifteen miles from this front
would not be too large an estimate of the
distance to which coal could be reached by
i)q,tQ ".,..,.,
modern mining Imethods; an assumption
that would give an area of 1,200 square
S",........,
acre of coal in a bed one foot thick con­
tains about 1,750 tons, or 1,120,000 tons per
square mile. Combining the mileage ar­
rived at for the Book Clii'fsfield, namely
1,920 square miles, and assuming an aver­
age thickness of ten feet of coal-probably
too Iowan estimate--the total tonnage
would be 21,504,300,000. Of course not all
this amount could 'be recovered even under
the most favorable conditions, for' a cer­
tain amount of coal is left as pillars. One
thousand tons recovery per acre foot is a
very conservative estimate, and on this
basis there would be, in the Book CUffs
field, 12,288,000,000 tons of recovera'ble coal.
According to the U. S. Geographical Sur.
vey, 417,111,142 tons of bituminous coal
were mined in the United States in 1910.
At this rate of production, the Book Cliffs
field alone could, on the basis of the very
conservative estimate given, suppl.,- the
need of the entire country for practically
thirty years.
The coal of the Book Cliffs field almost
certainly underlies the entire Uinta basin,
but unfortunately is at a depth too great
to be considered available. The uplift of
the Uinta 'mountains has, however, elevated
lIkewise the coal-bearing strata so that,
with ,the exception of one locality where
concealed by younger rocks, they outcrop
as a narrow ,band along the north rim of
the ,basin from the Colorado state line
westward nearly to Straw:berry valley. This
field, although of much less extent than
the Book Cliffs field, contains many more
coal l?eds, and, when transportation is af­
forded, will enter largely into the produc­

ion of the state. The amount of coal pres­
mt is much more difficult to estimate than
hat of the Hook Cliffs field, because of
rariability in thickness of the beds and the
Icarcity of data due to lack of development.
Moreover, the coal .beds dil> in general at
l high angle, so that mining cannot be ex·

)f this fact, however, the available tClnnage
i.!l very large and will do much to delay
that sorrowful epcch Of the ultra-conser­
vationist when the fuel su.pply of the coun·
try will be exhausted.
A third Utah coal-bearing area, some­
what limited in extent, but important be­
cause of the high grade character of tl;!e
fuel contained, occurs in lhe western part
of Emery county at a locality designated
on the General Land Office state map as
the (JQal Cliffs. At present, cQnsiderably
removed from transportation, this field has
not been touched except to meet a purely
local demand, although in heat value the
coal compares favorably with the best in
the Appalachian region. Probably thirty or
forty square miles are underlain, within
moderate depths, by this coal, of which
there are several beds. The total thick·
ness of coal present at anyone locality is
said to be forty·five feet. so that even with
the limited extent as compared 'With the
Book Cliffs field, the tonnage availa:ble is
very large.
A fourth coal·bearing area, second only
to the Book Cliffs field in extent, is found
in the southwestern part of the state and
'is known as the Kolob-Kanab field, covel"
ing portions of Iron, Washington, Garfield
and Kane counties. Over 300 square miles
in this field 'have ·been classifiled and ap­
praised with respect to coal by the U. S.
Geological Survey, and a much larger area
adjoining on the east is withheld from coal
entry, pending e}assification. No estimate
of the coal content of this area will be at·
tempted, but it is known to be great.
Coal is known to be present on the
west fianks of the Henry mountains, and
has also been reported south of Monticello.
Both areas are fa,' distant from liBl1S of
transportation, however, so that they rep­
resent stock available eventually, but not
now on the shelf.
What is probably the oldest coal field in
the state, from the standpoint of develop·
ment, is that at Coalville. This area con'Sti­
tutes the southwestern extension of the well­
. known coal producing district in southwest
Wyoming, though it may not be POSSIble to
trace continuously the {!oal of one field into
the other. In the Coalville district the fuel
is of the sub-bituminous. variety; that is,
it di'Sintegrates upon long exposure to the
weather. This feature makes it somewhat
less desirable than a stocking bituminous
coal, although it ranks well as a heat pro­
ducer.
The foregoing brief statements concern­
ing the coal resources of the state show that
with transportation afforded and capital
willing to invest there is no liklihood of a
paucity of fuel in the near future. Fm'·
thermore, because of geographic location,
Utah seems destined to supply more and
more the growing demand for fuel to the
north, west, and south. Even without this
outside demand, however, the coal industry
within the state itself is assured of constant
increa'Se, for the time will surely come when
the west will not supply raw products to the
east, there to be manufactured and returned,
but itself possessing both -the raw material
and the source of power to transform that
material into finished product'S, will retain
the profits of manufacture and transporta­
tion within its own borders.

THE GILMORE MINING CO.
(Standard, Leadore, Idaho.)
The "Gilmore" Mining Co., which was
slightly touched upon in the "Co·Op" tunnel
mentioned last week, is a... new corporation
organized last January with Ed. C. Ross,
president; Harry R. Hyde, of Ridgway, Pa.,
treasurer, and Clarence Warnock, of Salt
Lake, secretary. The new company is prac·
tically an offspring of the "Allie" Mining
Co. Ltd. The twelve patented claims taken
over from the "Allie" Co.• constitute an ex­
·cellent group that figures most prominent
in the prosecution of the "Co-Op" tunnel
that is to cut a gold lead at the 2100·foot
point at 400 feet depth.
The capital stock of the company is $1,.
000,000, 600,000 shares, at the par values of
one dollar each, being given to the "Allie"
()(}mpany in the purohase consideration of
the twelve claims.
During the progress of the "Co-Op" tun­
nel the "Gilmore" company will do consid­
erable development on their "Martha" vein
through the present shaft workings, but is
more anxious, along with other companies,
to push work on the long cross-cut tunnel
that will give an outlet for ore and waste
and also to provide convenient quarters in
the new' town of Gilmore for the employes.
To accomplish the desired end, that of
reaching the west side line of the new com­
pany's' pr<lperty. requiring 5,200 feet of tun­
nel, an expenditure of $75,000 will become
necessary, and this we understand is now
provided ·by the several companies interest­
ed in the cross·cut, which will, according to
plans, is to be 5l;2x7 feet in the clear and
provided with double track of 25 lb. Trails.
Machine drills and three shifts Qf workmell
will be placed at three different headings
on the work, viz: one through the portals
or old "Ruth" tunnel driving west, one
from the "Pittsburg·Idaho" shaft driving
east and the other from the "Martha" shaft

STRIKE IN THE MARSH MINE.
(Special Correspondence.)
Burke, Idaho, April 25.-The Marsh mine
near this place, is the scene of a strike of a
vein of four and a half feet of high-grade ga­
lena, more than half of which has a gross
value of $80 the ton. J. V. Pohlman, of the
Pohlman Investment company, which owns
a large interest in the property, says the ore
was found at a vertical depth of 456 feet be­
low the No. Z tunnel and 800 feet below the
surface. The company has started to opel'·
ate its mill at two-thirds capacity and will
put on the third shift the· coming summer.
The property, which adjoins the Tiger-Poor­
man, in the vicinity of the Hecla and Gertie,
was discovered by Mark Cooney, John Kel­
ley and Frank Murphy, in 1907, and was tak­
en over by the present 'Company in 1909.
The controlling interest is vested in E. L.
Cowell, president of the corporation, and
United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon,
both of Missoula, and Eugene Carroll, of
Butte, Montana.
