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.

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.
