Hollaad, who i now interest‘ed with him. ‘This mine was Ipcated by Mr. Bitner in 1876. He holds two mineral claims, each 1,500 feet long and six feet* wide, and a ‘tunnel claim, including tte two form‘er, 3,000 feet long and 750 feeton ‘ each side of the projected tunnel. This tunnel will cat transverscly a “series of four parallel -veins,-“fhe} ‘ surface sroppings in .icate that the southeru vein is @ haadred and eight feet in width. The twonerthern veins ‘only have been worsed, These have been traced by means of shafts for * almost the length of the claim. They . * have been struck by a lateral tunnel ‘ and are now being opened up. TLe northern vein assays 30 per ‘ centyold, as well as a workable * amount of copper. Itis a quartz, ‘with the metal grains distr.buted ‘thickly through it. It has been ‘followed a number of fees, and seeuis some four feet in width. The sec‘on. vein is rich appearing oopper ore ~—-assaying-from-H}-to-7J per cent; cop=7 per. it appears to be four feet wide ‘and has been foll:wed by the tunnel ‘some eighty feet. Captain Bither . judges trom the surface shafts that he has a thickness in each of 70 or ‘80 teet. This tunnel runs in some ‘three hundred fest and has but fair‘dy struck the ore. —, ‘Captain Bitner has spent some $6,‘000 im the mine, and has heretofore ‘sought for ore that would prove profitable for shipping. Mr. Holland, however, has tried roasting the ore and succeeded: He finds he can roast the ore in ter days time with“out fail. Hethen leaches it iu a “. hoppar, similar to the old-fashioned ‘ash-—hopper, allowing the--water—-to}. ‘trickle slowly into ity This comes ‘out below into a wooden tank, a ‘strony copper solution. It is then . “led into-a wcod trough, heated, and ‘old iron introduced; the copper coiment collects upon the iron, It is ‘freed ‘rom the iron by jarting, clean. ‘ed up, and ia ready tor the market ‘where it brings eighteen or tweaty ‘cents a pound. Mr. Holland's works are very simple ia construction, entirely of wood, amd cost only ‘about fifty dollars, and bave acapacity of forty or filty pounds of ce‘mentaday. They will-extend their works gradually, as their means al‘dow,aad expect soon to have a capac‘ity of atonaday. Heretofore the ‘cement kas been precipitated from ‘the iron, on which it collects in large ‘revolving cylinders. Captain Bitner, “however, has a patented process, “which they will soon introduce, “which they expect te prove mure ‘econoniical in money aad time. By ‘this process steam is introduced in ‘pipes into the vat containing the soYution and iron, and projected ' from ‘tnany little jots upon the tron. The ‘ateam awats the water and at the ‘game time freee the iron of the cement, keeping its surface clear tothe} ‘action of the solution, The cheap process is being tried ‘by others in the same locality, If ‘these mines should prove workable ‘it will cause that copper mining to become an important industry of this region, of which the Pioneer ‘mine, at Spenceville, has been ao energetically developed. Captain Bitner has_laid out the ‘ite for a new town, taree mi'‘es above Spenceville, at the juaction of Little and Big Qry Creeks, to be called Miuera: Veiat, Iu the neighborhood are claims upon the Ameri‘ wan lead, held by H.
