srg SRS ee ue a ‘abrasives, “many of the other mineral materials PAGE FIVEMINE MOTION PICTURE GROWS. The world’s largest collection of industrial educational motion picture films, that of the United States Bumerce, continued to,grow during 1930, more than 400 reels with a footage of approximately 400,000 feet having been added during the year. The films visualize the workings of the Nation’s great mineral industries. They unfold the stories of petroleum, silver, iron, copper, lead, sulphur, asbestos and On which the welfare and prosperity of the human race depend: They show just where these minerals are found, the methods by which they are mined, the means by which they are transported, how they are fabricated or refined into useful everyday products, and how in the final stage they are utilized by mankind. The Bureau’s films were shown during the year onmore than 10,000 occasions before a total of more than two and a quarter. million people. At the ‘beginning of 1931, the Bureau had more than 700 sets of films, totaling approximately 2,100,000 feet in length, and representing an investment of about $1,000,000. the expense of manufacture having been borne’ by cooperating industrial concerns. The Bureau of Mines films, covering nearly sixty subjects pertaining to the mineral and allied industries, are being widely used by the principal educational institutions in connection with mining, engineering, and chemical courses of instruction. Engineering and scientific organizations, civic and business associations clubs churches, miers’ local unions and the various service schools of the Army and Navy are also making wide use of the films. Numerous copies of the films have been purchased by foreign governmental agencies for circulation abroad. The making of these films has at times been attended with considerable difficulty and even with human hazard. The shooting of scenes in close proximity to metallurgical furnaces has required the wearing of asbestos clothing by the film makers. Dizzy trips have been made in_aerial tramways strung across yawning valleys. Entrie hillsides have been lifted into the air by the discharge of tons of explosive. High smokestacks have been climbed and choking gas fumes encountered in the filming of various scenes. Underground scenes have required the use of 8,000,000 to 10,000,000. candilepower of light, producing almost unbearable heat. In one instance the intense heat conditions incident to the making of a film 6,500 feet underground rendered necessary the wearing of the scantiest clothing. Many of the films’ go far afield and depict the oil fields of Roumania, Egypt, or Poland, the quarrying of asbestos in Canada, the mining of copper in Alaska, the obtainingfi of nitrates in Chile. The operation of the diamond drill which delves far beneath the earth’s surface and brings forth samples of the world’s insides,i s depicted; the making of minature earthquakes ny. means of seismograph apparatus for the purpose of locating underground mineral deposits is shown; the pouring of 5200-pound iron ingots is visualized. Practical hints on the operation of automobile engines and the firing ‘ the domestic furnace are picturized. The use of “animated photography” or cartoons, makes many intricate processes easily understan@able. The prevention of accidents and the conservation of human life have been given special preparation of. these films. The oneree} film ‘“‘Carbon-Monoxide— the Unseen Danger,” for instance, carries a safety lesson for every individual who operates an automobile, pointing out how the deadly gas in the automobile exhaust may bring death quickly when ventilation is inadequate. The saving of five lives in a Utah coal mine disaster last yearis directly attributable to an entombed miner having viewed one of the Bureau’s pictures which demonstrated the erection. off barricades underground for the purpose of conserving fresh dir until the mine rescurers made their appearance. The Bureau of Mines makes no charge for the use of the films for exhibition purposes, although the borrower is asked to pay transportation costs. The movies are available in the regular size used by theatres, and some of them may be had in the 16 millimeter size for smaller projectfng machines. Further details regarding the distribution of these educational motion picture films may be ‘obtained: ment Station of the United States Bureau of Mines, Pittsburgh, Pe. attetion in the, LEDGE. AMADOR STAR MINE JACKSON,CALIF., Feb.In line with the calculations of John Ratta, of Sutter Creek, president and general manager, the new northwest crosscut from the 300-foot three-compartment vertical shaft on the Amador Star mine, two and a half miles north of Plymouth, has disclosed the ledge, which through its yield on the 500-foot level and a drift tunnel, attracted wide attention to the property more than a decade ago. The crosscut revealed the vein about 225 feet distant from the shaft, the point it has been estimated it would be intersected. No assays have thus far been made, but the vein, three feet wide, is highly mineralized and conditions present indicate that the crosscut has exposed the southern extremity of the ore shoot sought. Accordingly, a drift has been started north on it for expurposes. On the 500-foot level, drifting reveled the orebody for a length of 300 feet and a width of from eight to 20 inches, while in the tunnel and in a winze sunk 50 feet below it, it was found to be from three to six feet wide. Samples taken from the orebody in all. these early workings showed it to average $8 a ton in gold, according to. Manager Ratto. who with the Boro brothers-of Jackson and associates, organized as the Amador Stra mining Compony, is financing curent development of ‘the property as a private enterprise. The managment of the Central Eureka Mining Company is making preparations for stopinp the new orebody opened up recently by the north drift on the 2,100-foot level of the Old Eureka section of its property at Sutter Creek. Thus far the drift has opened up the new find for a length of more than 130 feet, in which the orebody has am average width of seven feet and gives average values of $13 a ton in gold, it is officialy stated. with ore still showing strong in the face the drift has been stopped temporarily to permit of the present installation of five chuthes incident to stoping the new shoot at as many points. Thomas Cooper, of Volcano, and W .W. Cox, ‘of Grass Valley, are cleaning out retimbering and lowering the grade of a drift tunnel on the Battle Mountain property, a half mile northeast of Voleano and 13 miles east of Sutter Creek, under a lease and bound from the Lagomarsine brothers of Sutter Creek, prel iminary to extensive breasting aperations. The tunnel has a length of 2,200 feet, 1,800 feet of which is through the Cleveland Consolidated projerty and the remaining 400 feet in the Battle Mountain ground. In the Cleveland Consolidated, the gravel was mined for a width of 80 feet and a thickness of from one to three feet up to the boundry line of the Lagomarsino holdings and fandsoms‘ly rewarded the early operators. Specimens of gravel recently taken from the Lagomarsino show a liberal distruction of flake and nugget gold. JOHN W. DARKE workings . /AVLLECITO MINE CO. DEVELOPS PROPERTY SAN ANDRES, CALIF., FEB.19-! The yellow metal continent of gravel being extracted in development work at the Vallecito Western mine of the Vallecito Mining Com-‘ pany, two miles east of Angles Camp, is increasing, it is-offieiaHy learned. Manager Don Steffa states that the yield recently obtained in the extension of the main east gangway along the south rim of the ancient river channel being explored has averaged $31 a ton car, or $46.50 a cubic yard one and a half tons of gravel making a cubic yard, compared with $28.80 and $22.50 a cubic yard three ania . four weeks ago, respectively. It is immediately apparent from _ these. official figures that . the average . value of the gold nugget-bearing dirt béing mined in the continuation of the main gangway upstream has improved in marked degree within a period of one month. To permit of the determination of the width of what Manager Steffa terms the ‘‘third concentration’ disclosed in the property, extension of this main east working on the bottom or 153-foot level has. been temporarilly halted at a point 32,300 feet form the main vertical working shaft. this concentration for a length of 550 feet.
