The Green River oil fields of east-cen­
tral Utah, or, more strictly speaking, the
eastern portion of it, known as the Klon­
dike region, has lately taken on renewed
life and activity, owing to the showing of
gas recently encountered at a depth rang­
in-g from 320 to 460 feet on, the property
of the Moab Oil company, which is located
eighteen miles southeast of Green river;
and the further fact that the Green RiYer
Engineering & Development company has
closed a deal with Los Angeles parties,
headed by George Mapes, a big operator of
that city, for 5,000 acres of choice oil ter­
ritory which is located from five to twenty
miles southeast of Green River; and also
to the further fact that these people, asso­
ciated with the Gifford-Collins company, of
Providence, R. I.. will at once begin the
drilling of. wells in order to prove the new­
ly-acquired -ground.
Second Flow of Gas.

but, as to the value of this much-coveted
product, I have no reliable data at this
writing, It is not. thought, however, from
the evidence at hand, that there is any
great amount of gas flow, or pressure.
Should a large volume of gas be disclosed
in and around this well and vicinity, noth­

cheap power for gas engine duty for pump-

000 shares of a par value of $1 each. Its
main office is in the Gas Electric build­

have been established at Green River. W.
J. Dixon, of Green River, is general man­
ager. It is reported that the company has
been largely financed by Philadelphia cap­

though it was claimed, when the well
reached its present depth, that a fine show­

The Utah- Columbus.
The Utah-Columbus Oil and Gas com­
pany's property embraces a large acreage.
The company has one well down to a
depth of 980 feet, in which it is claimed,
there is a fine showing of oil. This well
is only a mile and a half from the Cook­
Levi No. 1 welL The oil is of fine grade
and has a parafine base; a quality of oil
that is characteristic of the wells and seeps
of this field. This well is locally known
as the Queen well. The company has been
incorporated with a capitalization of 250,­
000 shares of a par value of $1 each. . M.

Geo. B. Gifford, of Providence, R. I., and

two associates, represent the personnel of
the Gifford, Collins & Company, which re­
cently acquired 2,400 acres of oil land sev·
en miles southeast of Green River; a tract
of land which, by experienced operators,
is believed to be very attractive, and pos­
sessed of great possibilities with develop­
ment. This syndicate is not incorporated,
the principals preferring to invest their
own money in backing their judg'ment. The
company has $20,000 in bank with which
to begin Qperjl.tions, and if more is needed
with which to prove the field, the original
crowd will furnish it.

Green River. The deal was consummated
upon most favorable terms, by which the
sellers secure a good interest in the com·
pany to ,be formed, and a bunch of cash,
as well. The exact conditions of the sale
have not yet been made public. The money
with which the deal is being financed is
already in bank, and only awaits abstracts
of title before finding active employment.
A standard rig will at once be installed
and operations will be cO'mmenced within
a month. The rig has already been pur·
chased, and is now -ready at Los Angeles
for shipment to Green River. At present
this enterprise is what might be termed
a "close association," and there is every
evidence that those behind it mean busi·
ness.

The property of the British-American
~ompany is located fourteen miles south·
east of Green River, and consist of sev·

been penetrated to a depth of eighty feet
when operations were discontinued. Fail­
ure to case off the heavy flow of water
above the sand caused no end of trouble,
and this, no doubt has ruined what, to all
appearances, was one of the most promis·
ing wells in the entire district. The Brit­
ish-American is a new York corporation
headed by W. I. Seman, of that city.
Just when a big producing oil field will
be opened in the Green River section, and
by whom, remains to be seen. But, with
the activity now being shown there, it
should not be very long before earnest and
intelligent work will c.rown with success
the efforts of those now engaged in explor­
atory operations.
,The Mining Review is promised a tech·
nical description of the western portion of
the Green River field. known as the San
Rafael Swell, for an early issue, from the
pen of Mr. E. T. ''Yolverton, a well-known
mining and civil engineer or Green River.
The Green River Oil Fields.
Some few years ago the late Dr. Wilbur
C. Knight, of the University of Wyoming,
a most eminent authority on oil occurrences
and geological conditions attending the
presence of petroleum, contributed a most
interesting article to The Mining Review
from which we quote the following:
Location of the Field.
The center of this oil field, north and
south, is some four miles south of Green
I}lver station, about 180 miles southeast
of Salt Lake City. The field has been cut
in twain by the Green river, which
passes through it from north to south and
divides it into nearly equal parts. The
area that will be discussed in this article
lies upon the east side of the river.
Topography of the O'istrict.
Green River station is located in rather
a broad valley of the Green river, which
narrows rapidly to the southward towards
the center of the oil field, and one mile be·
low the station the valley contracts into a.
shallow canyon, which is enclosed by rather
precipitous walls of .sandstone and shale.
To the northward of the station, from eight
to tWelve miles, and circling to the west·
ward, are the Book Clitts, which rise in
vertical walls many hundred feet above the
broad valley. To the southward the coun·
try is exteremely rough and rises gradually
for a distance of three or four miles. This
area is cut by numerous east and west
gulches which have precipitoUS slopes and
prevent the construction of wagon roads
from the north to the south. There are
also a few gulches trending north and south
which are equally rough. The center of
the field is marked by a high bluff running
east and west, that rises with nearly verti­
cal walls to a height of 300 feet; and facing
the south. In the immediate viCinity of the
river this bluff is the highest, and dies out
to the eastward and westward, so that four
 THE SAL T L A K E MIN I N G REV lEW, MAY 3 0, 1 9 1 2. 13

miles away, on either side, the country
graduates into a rough, rolling surface. From
this bluff to the southward there are sev­
eral east and west gulches known locally
as washes. These extend for sixe miles south
of the oil spring, chief among which-is Salt
wash. On account of the roughness of the
country, if one wishes to visit the field by
wagon, it is necessary to travel a distance
of seven or eight miles from Elgin post­
office around the eastern end of the bluff.
Boats can also be used for river work, but
on account of the rapids it is necessary to
tow these back over the rough water, which
makes it very laborious.
Geology of Green River Oil Field.
This region was originally covered with
several thousand feet of C~etaceous rocks.
The Book Cliffs on the north are remnants
of this. Prior to these bands being eroded
down to the present level, and prooably be­
fore the present valley was outlined, there
were numerous folds formed. Some of these
folds were faulted, as for example, the
high bluff at the oil spring, and the Salt
wash. The fold that extended along the
tend from the river to the eastward and the
westward along the fault. They are also
found from the level of Green River to a
height of 150 feet above it.
There are still other evidences of the
fault, chief among which is the remarkable
occurrence of natural gas along the river in
the vicinity of ·the break. J<'or several hun·
dred feet above the line of the fracture,
and for considerable distance below it, there
are numerous natural gas vents. It would
be out 'Of question to count them, owing to
their -great number_ Occasslonally they are
seen along the bank of the river, where the
gas is escaping in the mUd. In the body of
the stream one can .sit in a boat and count
a hundred or more of these gas escapes
from which the gas constantly bubbles.
There are a few places where the gas es­
capes under sufficient pressure to make a
purring sound that can be heard several
rods away. These vents extend from bank
t~ bank of the river, and no doubt there are
many along the bluffs on either side that we
have no means of detecting. The exact
composition of the gas is questionable; but
compose the crest of the bluff and extend to
the north and nearly to Brown ranch. This
series of rocks is best seen by drifting
down the river in a boat, where every por·
tion of the formation is exposed.
The Geological Horizon.
The exact location of the petroleum hori·
zon in this field cannot be determined with­
out the use of a .drill. There are two hori·
zons In which oil maybe found. The first
of these is in the Cretaceous formation, ly·
ing along the south side of the fold, which
is quite thin and could not be considered as
a valuable source from which the oil could
came. 'While it 1s possible that oil may
come from this horizon, it is highly prob·
able that the producing horizon is very
much lower down. In the other oil fields of
the west there are no available oil sands
found in either the red beds or the Jurassic,
and owing to the fact that these are well·
exposed and do not show any signs of oil.
it is very certain that they are barren in
this locality. The next possible formation
below, in which one would look for oil,
would be in the carboniferous or Permian

line now occupied by the bluff, was very ex·
tensive and, owing to some weakness in the
strata, could not withsand the strain, which
caused the country to drop down a vertical
distance of between 800 or 1,000 feet. This
,fault caused the high bluff, and also a sec·
ond one; and caused the bluff along the Salt
wash, which practically parallels it. From
fissures leading to this fault, or the main
break, the oil reaches the surface at the
present time. The maximum displacement
appears to be near the river and gradually
decreases to the eastward, so that at a point
three miles east of the river, the arch is
fractured slightly. and it appears to be com·
posed of unbroken starta. The western
part of the field was not examined; but in
all probability the conditions are the same
in that portion of the field. Besides the
displacement of the formations which indio
cate the fault there are numerous deposits
that have been made by warm springs ris·
ing to the surface, and. having the water
highly charged with carbonate of lime, de­
posited it over considerable areas. These
are locally called deposits of spar, and ex-
owing to the fact that it is of an explosive
nature. and often fired during the winter
months, is suf-ficient evidence to prove that
it is the natural illuminating variety. From
evidence obtained here there is every rea·
son to believe that a well drilled in this
Vicinity would produce a large volume of
gas.
Below the Cretaceous rocks, as noted
above, there is a well-developed series of
Jurassic starta that have a thickness of
not less than 500 feet, and below this there
is a series of characteristic Rocky Moun­
tain red beds, which have an estimated
thickness of 1,000 feet. These rest upon an
unknown thickness of carboniferous sand·
stone and limestone. The upper portion of
the strata that have been called carbonif·
erous in southeastern Utah, may belong to
the Permain. Below the carboniferous
there is an unknown thickness of Paleozoic
rocks, which are made up chiefly of Ordivic·
ian and Cambrian. All along the line of the
fault, and where the bluff is highest, the
red beds are exposed for 200 feet above the
river. The Jurassic sandstones and clays

neath the red beds; but since it was impos·
sible to secure- measurements one could not
say exactly how deep a well would nave to
be driven to reach this horizon.
n the oil field in the vicinity of Lander.
Wyoming, oil is found in the carboniferous
or Permain rocks and, in my opinion, It will
also be found in the Green River field in
the same horizon. In many respects the oil
fields in the Vicinity of Green River bear
a close resemblance to those at Lander. It
must be remembered in this connection
that the formations containing oil in the
'Rocky Mountain region are entirely unlike
those of the eastern part of the United
States, and that the lowest geological hori­
zon from which oil has been found in the
Rocky Mountains, lies above the highest oil
horizon of Pennsylvania and Ohio. For a
better idea of the possible 'Oil horizon of
this field, see the geological section, which
also illustrates the faulted condition of the
field. The strongest evidence that we
have that oil exists at some point below
the red beds, is the vast amount 'Of na­

THE METALLURGY OF LEAD
WRITTEN FOR THE MINING REVIEW BY H. B. PULSIFIER
THE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN BLAST·
ROASTING.*
The practice of blast-roasting which was
inaugurated by the first Huntington-Heber.
lein process, originally of Pertusola, Italy,
and first patented in the United Sta.tes in
1898, has found so great favor with lead
smelters .that in some form or other it has
now come to be part of the standard pro­
cedure at all large lead"smelting plants
where a considerable proportion of the ore
is available in the form of sulphides.
The success of the process is due to
the fact that it is a good sulphur·elimlnat·
ing process, that a great variety of ores
are susceppble to the treatment, that the
materials is left in an ideal ferm for smelt­
ing in less than the rost of any previous­
ly known method which would even approx·
imately produce the same results.
A close approximation to the original
Huntington-Heberlein process still perSists
in certain localities where heavy galena
ores are to be made ready for smelting;
a modification involving pre-roasting but
DO addition of lime is widely used where
pyrite ores form a considerable part of
the sulphides, Further deviation pre-roasts
the priming or igniting layet only, and
finally, as at Midvale, Utah, no part of the
charge is p.re·roasted, but a fire on the
grate ignites the mixed raw charge which
is dropped upon the hot led of burning
fuel.
Although nominally considered of the
best mechanical design and construction,
the plants for this type of roasting have
not always proven satisfactory in opera­
tion. Slight precedent and unknown de­
mands may well account for the inability
of the engineers to meet conditions where
the costs of the mechanical operations and
handling of materials hav~ suddenly be­
come the chief cost factor.
The introduction of the down·draft ma­
chines, at present represented only by the
Dwight,Lloyd types, will unquestionably
again make a general lowering- of the cost
of the roasting and at the same time again
improve the quality of the product for its
use as blast furnace burden.
The accompanying bibliography indi­
cates the literature readily available to one
interested in the subject. Unquestionably

THE CHEMISTRY OF BLAST-ROASTING.
1. The Elimination of SUlphur.
According to locality and conditions the
charge wh:ch it is desired to roast and
sinter may consist of a.ny of the interme­
diate mixtures between the limits of rich
galenas on the one hand and nearly pure
pyrite on the other. The general experi­
ence, as gleaned from the literature, is that
with rich galenas or high lead mixtures the
charge, to be successfully blown, must be
comparatively low in sulphur. The upper
limit is given by some operators as 9 per
cent, while with possibly somewhat lower
leads other operators can blow mixtures
with up to 12 per cent. With comparative­
ly low lead In the mixture, the remaining
sulphur bein'g chiefly as pyrite or chal­
copyrite, charges containing up to 20 per
cent sulphur are successfully blown.
Evidently the two predominating factors
as to the amount of sulphur admissible are,
first, the fusibility of the charge, and, sec­
ondly, the form in which the sulphur ex­
ists. A charge which is as eas:Jy fusible
as must necesarrily be the case when the
lead is present to the extent of 40 per cent
or more, or which consists largely of leady
matte, in both of which cases the sulphur
to be removed must first be f~IlY oxidized,
must have the sulphur content already low
for good results in a roasting pot. There
is evidently no avoiding of this conclusion.
In the installation of the three annular
down-draft tables at Bindsfeldhammer, as
described by Guillet in his paper, pre,roast­
ing is first practised. With the pyritefer­

ring any heat by its oxidation, is easily
servable during the roasting of this class
material. With up-draft pots it is of
tie significance, but with down-draft sin­
ring it is a source of much clogging of
e pipes and of the fan if that be placed
dose proximity to the unit.
The sublimation of sulphur is a condi­
,n to be met in the planning of down­

Repeated tests by Greenawalt have uni­
formly indicated that limestone is not a
good diluent for pyritiferous charges.
Other investigators have come to the same
conclusion when using this kind of mate­
rial.
The s'econdary reactions so prominent
in the hand roasting of learl ores in rever­
beratory furnaces which furnish large quan­
tities of sulphur troxide are largely sub­
ordinated in up-draft roasting; with the
still more expeditious results attained with
down-draft work the production of sulphur
trioxide is apin diminished. The exact
amount in the gases from down-draft units
is' not known to the author, although cer­
tain experiments indicate that it is very
low, indeed. This is a most important con­
Sideration where the gases are to be dif·
fused over cultivated areas or are to be
neutralized and freed from the trioxide.
The volatilization of lead and silver val­
ues, once such a handicap to al! roasting of
lead ores in reverberatory furnaces, be­
came of much les'S Significance with the in­
troduction of up-draft blast-roasting. 'With­
out a thought we charge into the pots ores
for roasting which would undergo serious
lOBS in ,a hand .reverberatory; rich concen'
trates only will commonly be res-erved for
briquetting. With the advent of down draft
methods no reservation of ores on account
of loss by volatilization will likely be re­
quired. Little data Is as yet available, but
there is every indication that the los~ is
quite insignifioant. In ordinary pot or stall
roasting the chief loss occurs because of
·the inevitable formation of blowholes and
the overheating and burning which result
to the charge about them. In down·draft
work the formation of blowholes is auto­
matically inhibited; at any point of too
much heat evolution and consequent fusion
the suction pulls down the melt and the
air is .choked off; nothing eomes of it ex­
eept delaying the operation of roasting.
Aside from the automatic inhibition of
blowholes the charge is exposed to heat for
a much shorter time thoan in the thicker
charges using up·draft; instead of breaking
out to a free surface the gases are filtered
through the eomparatively cool inert layers
protecting the grate, some small portion of
fines is made during the charging and dis­
eharging of the cake, but flue-dust as such
is not made to an aprpeciable extent in
down-draft practice.
To obtain a prompt and satisfactory
roast the required amount of air must have
access to all portions of the ore mixture;
that th;s may be possible the charge must
be so constituted that air can drculate to
all parts, and, even more important, the
air must have access to all parts until the
required elimination of sulphur is accom­
plished. On the one hand, the charge must
not contain so little sulphur that combus­ c
tion shall cease and the material becoming
dry and powdery prevent the passage of
air over a certain area, nor, on the other
hand, dare the sulphur be so abundant that
the charge shall ,become overheated and
falling a pasty mass, effectually clog the
area against further oxidation.

moist ore once patted firmly together will
be impermeable enough to any ordinary
effort to pass air.
Following the origina,l Huntington-He­
Berlein process that type of pot-roasting
still begins' the operation In the converters
by blowing air up through a comparatively
thin bed of redhot pre-roast laid on a cov­
ering of clinke'r which protects the grate.
The ignition starting afresh in the hot
roast mounts through It. and into the cold
and moistened pre-roast or moistened "di­
rect converting" mixture and soon accom­
plishes the desulphurization and sintering
of the whole mass.
Obviously the cost of ignition by tqis
method is nil, where pre-roasting is prll;c­
Used.
Where pre·roasting is not practised the
ignition of the charge comes from some
outside source as from a mixture of fine
coal, coke and pyrites as at the United
States plant at Midvale, Utah (see papers
by Palmer and others). After the grate
has received a protecting layer of inert
material, such as limestone or cold roast,
the fire is applied in the form of hot and
burning coal and coke, a silght blast is
admitted, the pyrite is spread on, the
charge is dropped on and the blast is in­
creased.
Igniting Is certainly a considerable item
of cost when this method is used. In gen­
eral, if the charge mixture itself does not
ignite readily the cost is heavily increased.
It is a pretty sure method when enough
fuel is thus used; almost any amount of
water 'may be driven off or too dry charges
will be sintered whether they support com­
bustion themselves, or not. Other methods
would -be far cheaper for doing these kinds
of work. An inherent difficulty with this
method as with Huntington-Heberlein ignit­
ing is that results cannot be fully known
until the cake has to be dumped.
A charge for down-draft sintering, which
is composed of pyritiferous lead concen·
trates, fine silicious ore and (lther desir·
able diluent, if sulphur, silica, moisture
and mixing are properly dOlle and the sec­
tion applied, will take fire immediately
upon the application of a combustible ma­
terial or a flame. Oil, sprayed fr'Om nozzles
under pressure and confined over the
charge with a h'Ood, is the most suitable
igniting agent yet f'Ound. The lighter oils
work a little better but partly refined or
eyen thin crude oils are satisfact'Ory.
A 2-ton charge with a surface approxi­
mately 5 ft. by 8 ft. may be ignited with
a flame of atomized oil. sprayed from
nozzles with a pressure of 90 lb., in 15 sec­
onds. One minute is_ a long time to all'Ow
for such a flame to start even a. poor
charge; if the surface will not ignite soon­
er than this the heat will so dry the top
that longer heating is useless.
Especially at night it is a beautiful sight
to watch this sort of igniting. A bit of
waste liguts the oil as it is turned on, the
suction draws down the flame, it roars a
few seconds, is turned off, the hood is
rolled away, exposing the whole surface.
a half minute before cold, damp and inert,
now seething with an intense combustion

leaving the 'exterior again black and dead

imagination the operation needs be seen
for full comprehension. In case any spots
are not well started they are 'best reme­

CALIFORNIA PIG IRON.
Silver Bros. Iron Works Co., of Salt Lake,
Gets First Carload Shipment.
(Courier-Free Pres;>, Redding, CaE!.)
The first carload of pig iron ever
shipped to the east from a Calif'Ornia smel­
ter went f'Orward yesterday from the Noble
Electric Steel company's plant at Heroult
on the Pit. Forty tons was the shipment
and it was consigned to Silver Brothers,
foundrymen at Salt Lake City. The event
is important industrially, fcr it marks the
beginning of the production of iron in
Shasta county on a commercial basis.
This is the twenty-fifth consecutive day
that the furnace of the smelter at Heroult
has been in operati'On uninterruJ}tedly. Af·
ter six years of expensive experimentation,
the Noble Electric Steel company can say
that smelting iron by the electrical pro­
cess, without using a single pound of coke
or 'a single pound of bla£t, is commercially
successful. The pig iron manufactured is
the best in the world, as declared repeat­
edly by iron experts. Only last week an
ir'On expert from Pittsburgh, who saw some
of the Heroult product In the company's
office in San Francisco, said that the Her­
oult iron would command $10 a t'On pre­
mium in Pittsburgh, and that is where they
know the different grades of pig iron to­
perfection.
The company is' already at work con­
structing a second furnace. A third, fourth
and fifth furnace will rise in rapid succes­
sion. The grading work is all done. The
electrodes for the second furnace were
shipped yesterday tram the manufactory at
Niagara Falls. With two furnaces in op­
eration the Noble Electric Steel company
will utilize 4000 horsepower of electricity
and produce between forty and fifty tons
of "the best pig !-ron in the word" every
day. Appr'Oximately one hundred men are
employed n(lW at Heroult, and of course
as the capacity of the smelter is increased
i
the number will be augmented.
Much as the copper industry has added
to the pr'Osperity of Shasta c'Ounty, it stands
I

to reascn that the iron manufacturing in­
dustry, as developed and being developed
I
a:t Heroult, will be ~lVen more important
and will give to the Pacific coast an en­
tirely new industry.

 THE SALT LAKE MINING REVIEW,MAY 30,1912.
GEM MINERALS OF UTAH
WRITTEN FOR THE MINING REVIEW
Variscite.
This mineral, under the trade name of
Amatrice, has been mined and cut in larger
quantity than any other Utah gem mineral,
and has been put on the market by the
Oecidental Gem Corporation, of Salt Lake
City, which has opened and worked a de­
posit in Tooele county, from which has
been marketed the stones all over the
country. The mineral occurs in irregular
masses in a 'matrix which is more or less
silicified, and is cut with the matrix, mak­
ing a great variety of pleasing and unique
combinations. The composition of the min·
eral is somewhat similar to that of tur­
quoise, and the colors of the finished stone
run from light to quite deep apple green,
mixed with the brownish. grayish and
other tints of the matrix in numberless
changes. The hardness of pure variscite
runs about 4.5, but with its silicious ma­
trix. many of the stones are said to run
harder. At least it has found favor with
many people aud is largely worn. The
stones from this deposit show more attrac­
tive combinations than those from any
other locality yet seen by the writer. Varis­
cite is also mined a a deposit in southern
Utah, and cut for gem purposes. A deposit
haf' also been opened near Lucin, Box Elder
ceunty. The first discovery of this mineral
was made in Clay canyon, near Fairfield,
Utah, from which many large and handsome
pieces, In nodule form, were taken and mar·
keted in -various parts of the world. This
deposit differed possibly somewhat from
the others in that it was associated with a
mineral of a yellowish to pale greenish tint.
generally surrounding the variscite and
called wardite. Variscite has also been
found in small quantity in the Mercur and
were of exceedingly rare color, possibly the
Geyser-Marion mines at Mercur.
Topaz.
This gem mineral is probably more
widely distributed in Utah than any other,
as. it occurs in many localities in the des­
ert regions where rhyolite outcrops, with
which it seems to be mostly associated.
The best known locality is probably the
Thomas mountains, situated in Juab county,
about ten miles northWesterly from Drum
springs in the Detroit district, or about
fifty miles northwesterly from Oasis. The
crystals occur in vugs or seams of a lIght­
gray rhyolite, a 'great belt of which extends
northerly, and at various points outcrops
ina southerly direction. The colorless
crystals are found loose on the hillsides,
and in the sands of the dry gulches, where
they glitter in -countless numbers. The
sherry -colored crystals are obtained by
blasting for the yugs, in which they are
found attached· to the sides, as well as
loose in thEffil; often accompanied by a
soft substance resembling kaolinite, which
is probably a decomposition of the felds­
pathic part of the rliyolite. These colored
crystals fade rapidly on exposure to sun­
light, . losing all color practically in a day.
No explanation of this fact has been made
so far a.s the writer knows. -Some very per­
:fect and large topaz crystals have been col­
lected at the Blxbyite locality, possibly fif­
teen miles north from the Thomas moun­
tains in the southern end of the Dugway
range. Opaque topaz crystals, usually
much larger. than the transparent speci·
mens, and opaque from inclusions of quartz,
and occasionally having attached near the
centre as many as twenty other opaque
crystals,' are found at the Thomas moun-
Group of Opaque Topaz Crystals. from Thomas
Mountains
tains, and at the Dugway mountain local­
ity, often with bixby-ite attached to the
sides and terminations. These curious
groups of opaque crystals are quite rare at
'Ihomas mountains, 'and rather more so
elsewhere in perfection, but many imper­
fect specimens occur which lack termina­
tions, usually ending in' a number of rough
points; a condition which has been ascribed
to interference during formation. Topaz
has also been found in the Wah wah range,
westerly .from Newhouse, and at one time
were supposed to be diamGndsby people
in the locality. The clear transparent
points of the colorless crystals, when cut
in brilliant or diamond style. make a bril­
liant and durable stone. Pink topaz has
been reported at various times as found
out in the desert, but none have so far
been brought in. Th.ey would 'make a hand­
some gem if the color proved to be dura­
ble. These topaz localities are exceedingly
19
interesting, and good specimens are ob­
tainable at any time.
Agate.
The desert regions of Utah afford many
specimens of agate, the red jasper tints,
mixed with chalcedony, probably being the
most abundant. Many acres of such agates
occur near Agate Switch on the Rio
Grande railroad, east of Cisco. An occa­
s!onal stone, fit to cut for jewelry, may be
picked up here; also fine red agate or jas­
per casts of fossil shells, which might be
polished and made into unique jewelry.
Those probably most attractive, at this lo­
cality, are of a yellowish tint. splashed with
bright red. Large areas of agate occur in
Emery county, about one mile and upward
from the bridge crossing the San Rafael
river on the road from Huntsville to Green
River. Many pieces here are masses of
spheroidal forms, with interior reddish
spheres showing under the lighter chalce­
dony. The stones. when cut, showing a
number of such forms, resemble somewhat
the thompsonite from Lake Superior. Red
jasper is a prevailing color here, but Ii!,;ht
or nearly white, yellow and pink tints are
found. These stones have been cut into
handsome and attractive settings for va·
rious articles of jewelry. Agates are found
more or less throughout the desert regions
of the state, and often fit for economical
as well as interesting stones for jewelry.
Beryl.
Blue beryl crystals, showing gemmy
tints and spots, have been found as :Il.oat
in the Ibapah mountains, but so far no 'gem
'material has appeared. This locality might
w'ell repay the prospector, as transparent
blue beryl or aquamarine, if free from
:Il.aws, brings a good price at present. A
very few deep red tabular crystals of beryl
have been found at the bixbyite locality,
about ten miles south of he Dugway grade
in the Dugway mountains. These crystals

valuable and rare gems if found of suffi­
cient size and clarity.
Garnet.
Garnet crystals loose in the debris of
the gulches, and attached to rhyolite, occur
at Thomas mountains sparingly. They are
occasionally quite perfect as crystals, deep
red to nearly black in color, but not of gem
quality. Good crystalized specimens of
garnet OCCur near Gold Springs, Iron coun·
ty. These crystals are dark-red in color,
but are not gem material, and it seems to
be a fact that very few crystals of garnet
are ever fit to cut into gems, owing to lack
of transparency. Garnets altered to topaz
occur at the bIXbyite locality. They are
also found near Frisco in good crystals.
Andradite, or calcium iron garnet, of a
'greenish-yellow color occurs at the Orizaba
Mining company's Lucero claim in Wash­
ington district, Beaver county. These sped:
mens are well crystalized, but show no gem

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Lovelock, Nev., May 24,-In the Septem­
ber 15tb issue of Tbe Salt Lake Mining Re·
view I wrote briefly regarding a ' ITro,perty
situated in Black canyon, Humboldt county,
mine.
The development of this mine during
the past four mon'ths has .attracted cons1d·
erable attention among mining' men, and
bids fair to become a real ITroducer, in the
near future, of no mean proportions.
The ground, a part 'O,f wbich had been
worked for gold and silver in the early 70's,
and subsequently abandoned, was relocated
a little over a year ago by two prospectors,
Tbos. Walsh and Wm. b'raser, and a half
Interest in 'Same was acquired by Ellis Max­
field and Gus Selium, of Imlay, Nev., in con·
sideration of equipment ,and grubstake fur­
nished by them. W. Hunt, 'Of National, soon
after bought Walsh's interest.

San Frandscn, to take an option on the
pmperty. He let a contract to Adamson
and Fuzard to sink ten feet, and drift fifty
feet, from an old shaft already twenty feet
deep. In drifting on the vein from the bot·
't'Om of thi'S shaft, ore of an excellent .grad~
subsequent drifting has proven to be
eighty-five feet in length. A force u! eleven
m.ol1 waslTut to wQrk drifting at this lev.ol
and cross-cuttlng from an old tunnel, ninety
feet below. The vein has been reached on
the lower l.ov.ol, I belieVe, and drifting com­
menced. ShOUld this chute Qf ore show in
the lower workings, the future of the mine
i-s ass,ured. The body of ore in sigbt above,
,bowever, represents a large. tonnage and a
shipment is soon to be made. Sixty tonS"
of this Qre, taken fTOm the drift above, are
at present sacked un the dump.
The nature uf the ore is somewhat dif­
ferent from anything seen elsewher.o in the
district. Tbe matrix i-s. a massive vein
quartz and the chief values are in gold.
Assays up to $200 per ton having been fr~­
quently obtained, according to Mr. Adamson.
The average value of the tonnage sacked

minent being galena, antimony and. I am
informed, a small quantity of zinc, al-so. The
gr~en, brown, and blue stains command at­
tributed to chlorides and bromides, are also
in evidence. Despite tbe apparent basic
character 'Of the ore, It doos not seem to b.o
entirely refractory, as panning tests sbow
a liberal quantity of free gold.
The vein is a fissure between a massive
blue limestone and a black dike of probable
similarity to the diabase and basalt dikes
so common in tbe district. The strike is a
little north of east and sO'llth of west and
the dip is about 20 degrees 'S'o'ut'heast.
The grouIT of claims embraces several
other very likely showings; a parailel vein,
several hundred feet above, disclOlling a
body of sulphide ore said to be of good ship­
ping value; and a some'what tortuous vein,
lower down, 'containing specks of free go!:l
in' places. Work on these latter showings
bas not as yet been prosecuted, altho plans
are being made for the development of both.
Should the ore exposed in tbe present
workings continue In size and value to the

line bas been Installed from the main line
along -the S. P. R. R. to tbe camp, and a

New Vein on the Al"mstnong.
On the Armstrong property in .Tohnson
canyon. a new vein has been uncovered
which should intersect the main vein 'On the
strike. This new vein carries with it a
layer of clay gouge showing a remarkable
string of colol'S in the pan, and the entire
vein should run pretty high in gold, though
assay returns have not as yet been made
known.

upon him. Still, because there are fishers
for suckers and because the sucker will al­
ways take the bait, this is no reason why the
sensible investor and capitalist should fight
shy of legitimate mining propositions and
of companies desiring to dispose of treasury
stock for the purpose of developing mining
property of merit and acknowledged value.
Were all men to fight shy of mining because
a sucker is_hooked every now and then, the
result would be that many prospective bo­
nanzas would remain undeveloped and un­
known in the canyons and hills of our vasl
mountain ranges. Ad yet it takes but a small
amout of intelligence to distinguish between
the fake mining company-the fisher for
suckers-and the genuine thing. Lurid ad­
vertisements, glowing promises, dividends
guaranteed and millions assured comprise
the different baits used in angling for suck­
ere. A conservative statement of facts and
actual conditions are the arguments used by
the legitimate seeker for assistance in the
development and operation of a mining prop­
o~ition. It is legitimate to advertise for cap­
ital, to make an effort to dispose of treasury
stock, and this brings to our mind the ad­
vertisement of a certain western mining com­

UTAH COPPER MILLIONAIRES.
A press dispatch from 'Colorado Springs,
in commenting upon the holdings of indivi­
dual members of the Utah Copper C{Jmpany,
Whose property is located at Bingham,
Utah, says:
Charles M. .MacNeill and Spencer Pen­
rose, both of this city, and the banking
, house of Hayden, Stone & Co., own stock
in the Utah Copper company. having a pres­
ent market value of $11,021,246, according
to the stock voted at the company's meet­
ing in New Jersey last week.
'These figures show the immense wealth
which the Colorado Sprin-gs men have made
out of their copper deals in recent years.
They have received dividends on their
stock regularly for several years.
Spencer Penrose is the largest indivi­
dual holder residing in Colorado. He holds
50,060 shares, which, at the 'present quota­
tion of $62 a share, represents a value of
$3,103,722. R. A. Ii'. Penrose's interest is
placed at $1,996,524. MacNeill was shown
to own 34,194 shares with a market value

The Prospector
and His Burro
(By Will C. Hi'ggins.)
"Ever sinde we crossed the divide," saId
the I'ro.spector to hi'S burro, "you have
shown unwonted activity in reaching this
(JId cabin where, without doubt, you ex­
pected to find a succulent garbage heap, or
at least a good feed of barley stored away
under the foreman's bunk;. which all goes to
show that you can unwind a Waterbury
curve when you once get the idea. that
some,thing substantial and satisfying await'3
you at the end of a j-ourney. In this case,
however, you have met with keen disap­
pointment, for ,this ),oint has not been occu­
pied for over a year, during which time th8
'trading' rat has hauled away severything
of value to you, as well as a conglomeration
of bric,a-brac that no one could poS'Sibly
use; all of which gDes to show th,at even
the lowly burro meets with disap.pointments
in life, as weU as individuals; for you were
evidently on the wrong scent; a condition
which often confronts the prospector in his
meanderings in the hill'S, as well as the
camp hanger·on who has a hunch that he
can buck the tiger off the boards until,
when the last shuffle and deal has been
made, the man behind the table rakes in aU
of the coin and chips in sight.
"Of course," coll!tinued the prospector,
"we can understand how we are likely to
be mistaken by appearances. From the
lo'oks of things, from the top of the divide,
yonder, you had good reason to believe that
you would find creature comforts when you
reached this old camp, and in this you are
excus'able; but, what allowance can be made
for the prospector who, making a small
'and important disco,very, allows the propo­
sition to grow upon him to such an extent
that he is ready and willing to make affi·
davit that his half·inch streak of $10-ore is
really four feet in width, with values going
up into the thousands? Such instances are
not at all rare, and represent a curious
condition of mind that the scientist has
never been able to solve. And yet this ab­
beration of the intellect has nothing to do
with the moral reCitude of the victlm who,
in (Jther matters, is as honest as the day
23
is long, and would scorn to roh any man
of even the 'makings'. You want to know
if any man can be sincere in his belief
that a stringer In the formation is really
a big body of pay ore, and still keep clear
of the 'bug house;' and if he is allowed to
ramble at l<arge among tenderfeet and
suckers, where he would do as much pam­
age to his kind as an outlaw burro would
if allowed to get into a provision tent? To
which inquiries I must refer you to the
authorities, who are more able that I am
to judge of the intent of the visionary
gen-tleman who peddles around fine ore sam·
pies as coming from his prospect when, in
fact, his claim is 'as worthless as a ten­
pound hammer in the hands of a eight·
year old kid.
"Some few years ago," continued the
p,rospector, "an old time friend of mine, and
a prosIJ'CCtor of c,onsiderable experience,
came to me with the announcement that he
had recently returned from an extended
prospecting trip into Lone Lizard range;
that. after almost undescribale hardships
and difficulties. he had found a ledge of
gold, exposed in the face of a high cliff,
that was as rich as lImburger cheese. He
was an honest sort of a fellow, but so po:>r
that he had to Use a gunny sack for a
covering when he washed his shirt. He
couldn't even get a grub stake down at the
canyon store, he looked so seedy; and so
he proposed to let me in for a half interest
in his disc{lvery if I would go back with
him and help him to make the necessary
locations and discovery work. Having
nothing particular to do, at the time, I ac­
cepted of his offer, and loaded two burros
with grub and tools. We had a hard trip
and were five days out before we reached
the canyon near which he claimed to have
made his discovery. We camped there for
the night, and the next morning, bright and
early, £tarted to climb to the over-hanging
cliff under which my friend had found hi!'
Monte Cristo mine. I didn't think thE'
country looked very well mineralized, but
thought a change might occur when w(
reached the the rhyolite further up. Why,
I didn't see even a piece of float all th?
way u,p aud, when we finally reached the
cliff, tired ana exhausted, my companion
didn't seem to be so exuberant and buoyant
as a man should be who was on the very
verge of coming into a fortune within a few
minutes. Instead, he seemed to be very dis­
pirited 'and as depressed as y'ou were today
when you found this camp barren of eat·
abIes. For half an hour he sat on a boulder
looking out into the valley,as if he wished
he were somewhere else. Finally I urge!'!
him on, and we made our way to {he base
of the cliff, in whiCih there was a perpendicu,
lar crevice about an inch in width, but as
barren of ore as a restaurant sandwich is
of meat. In a half-hearted way the discov­
erer of thi'S bonanza took a pick and began
driving into a crevice as if he ex'pected to

Some Adams Hill History.
Adams Hill, one of the principal sec­
tions of the Eureka mining district, is sit­
uated about 3.400 feet nearly due north ot
Ruby Hill and Prospect Mountain. and
about one mile west of the town of Eureka.
The principal part of Adams Hill is
composed of Hamburg limestone. the Se­
cret canyon shale forming a band running
east and west along its southern Hank, and
the Hamburg shale make.s its appearance
in a similar manner on the northern slope.
To the north of thc Hamburg sale and east
of the Hamburg limestone. the Pognip
limestone is expose{!. The absence of the
shale between the limestones is due to the
continuation of the Jackson fault.
North of the Hamburg shale, in the Pog­
nip limestone. there is a large outcrop of
quartz-porphyry, and further on, In the
same rock, smaller overflow Is visible in
the undergroun{l workings of the Bul!·
whacker mine. The dip of all the forma­
tions of Adams Hill is apparently to the
north, visible in the underlying limestone,
and overlies beds of shale in varying de­
grees.
The deposits in this district are alI more
or less connected with fissures and slips,
which in the limestone near the shale have
a general course parallel to their control,
observed in the old Bowman shaft. AI·
though no great caves, as on Ruby Hill,
have been opene{! in Adams Hill, many
rich bodies of ore .have been mined, all of
which have been discovere{! at or near
>the 'surfa~, none· of the mines having
reached a depth of over 400 feet.
The ores contain a higher percentage of
gold than those of Ruby Hill. the values
prevailing in the quartz. Carbonate and
sulphide of lead, however, have been pro­
duced in large quantities from the BulI­
whacker and Williamsburg mines. the
Oriental and Belmont and many others.
Probably the largest producer of ore
from Adams Hill has been the Bullwhacker,
with a record of over $1,400.000. A depth
of about 400 feet has been reached and
between three and four miles of workings
run. All the ore produced has been ship­
ped to the smelters.
The Oriental and Belmont and the Wi!··
liamsburg fol'ow the Bullwhacker with a
production of over a quarter a million
each. A de.pth of over 300 feet has been
reached in the Williamsburg. Not more
than 100 feet has been attained in the
Oriental.
The Silver West is another Adams Hill
property from which a great deal of ore
has been produced. In fact, the whole
Adams Hill district abounds with prospect
holes, few of them fifty feet in depth, but
all of which have produced ore to the
27
value of from $3,000 to $100.000. which. portation rates, hoping that he can take

THE EAGLE MINES.
(Copper Era, Clifton, Ariz.)
W. M. MCCoy, for years with the
Shannon Copper Co., and now manager
of the Eagle Gold & Copper Mining Co.,
was in the city on Wednesday to attend
a meeting of the directors. The company
owns twenty claims four miles northwest
of Morenci and some of them already pro­
duced considerable ore, mined in the
fashion of years ago. There is a five
stamp mill on the property which is now
operating on free milling gold ore which
runs about $24 per ton, nearly all of which
is saved on the plates. On March 16th, a
·car of ore was shipped to the Shannon
smelter that averaged 7.45 per cent cop­
per and also values in silver.
The property embraces a variety of
minerals, gold, silver, lead and copper
veins being carried in different· sections.
Galena ores carrying gold, silver of $51
per ton. A shaft now forty feet deep hi
being sunk •.on the vein which is one and
one half feet wide in the shaft bottom.
Test a:ssays of a rich streak in this vein
have shown as high as $187 per ton.
All the development work at present is
carried by the ores shipped to the
smelterS. A car of the galena is now be­
ing prepared for shipment to El PaSO. The
copper deposit is said to be very large and
virtual~y a SUITIliCe pl'oposition easy to
mine and handle. Shipments will be kept
up from ores output in the development
process.
Mr. J. J. Hall, a miUman and miner of
long experience in California, has charge
of the mill and meeting with good success.
He is greatly impressed with the property
and calls it a winner.

BULLION FROM IDAHO.
(Boise Statesnlan)
Gold to the value of $75,000 was shipped
from the Boise allsay office to the Denver
mint Monday. The gold was the accumula­
tion of bullion w·hich has been brought to
the assay office fram various parts of Idaho
and eastern Oregon during the last twenty
days.
The large shipment is evidence of the
active work which is already going on at
the mines, and considering the earliness of
the season at the (:amps located in the
mountains, and the fact that operations
have just commenced at many pla.ces, a big
output of gold will be looked for during
the summer.

Kingman Miner: The Frisco Mjnes and
Power company is now shipping regularly
about $15,000 in bullion from the mill each
month. The ore is broken down and sent
to the mill by six or Seven men in the
stapes. The ore is broken by the eaving
system and the expenSe of mining is very
light. With a larger mill the property
would vecome one of the largest producers
of gold ore in the state.
Kingman Miner: Report is current
that the Gold Road Mines company con­
te'mplates the doubling of the capacity of
the big mill, whiCh would double the out·
put of bullion. At the present time the
mill is producing in excess of $80,000
monthly, the ore being taken from the low·
er grades of the mine run, and when the
tram is completed enough of the higher
grade ores will be taken from the east end
of the big vein to sweeten the run of the
ore up to a grade that will give the mill
an output in excess of $200,000 per month.
The Gol.d Road !}roperty is one of the great·

shipping to the ~melters at Salt Lake City.
'Both properties are In good physical condi­

able to continue shipping steadily during
the entire season. The .ore shipped will
average about 70 per cent lead, and also
carries silver values, making the entire pro­

return a handsome profit above CDst of pro·

George Colvin and Oscar Shattuck, went

They sent the lJUlliOll in to Grants Pass

NEWS FROM HIGH GRADE.
Joe Bruner, of Fort Bidwell, California,
recorder of High Grade district, in a letter
to The Mining Review says:
The camp is looking fine now, and new
faces are seen here every day; and the
relmarkable part of it is that that most of
the neW·comers are the real prospectors
who have their burro trains with them.
You know they are the real developers of
the country.
The snow Is almost gone, now, and 10'
{!ations are coming in so fast that the of­
fice is almost snowed under; but this is
what we like· to see. A number of Cripple
'Creek operators are here. They are well
pleased with the formation, and are tak­
ing options on everything that is held at
a reasonable figure.
The sale of lots in the new town of High
Grade is something wonderful, fifty-three
,having been sold during the past week;
an of them helng cash sales.
