It is estimated that the objective will be reached within an additional 30 feet of crosscutting.

Persons caught throwing such material from cars will be charged with a misdemeanor in accordance with the law, it was stated. The officers were instructed to warn motorists who smoke to use ash receptacles for cigar and cigarette butts. “Every effort must be made to prevent fires."’ Cato’s order said. Officers of the patorl were instructed to assist members of the United Frest Service and the state Division of Forestry in establishing lines of communication, directing traffic, etc., in areas where fires are buringin. Attendants at border checking stations will instruct non-residents inthe law an d warn them of the danger of fire in forested areas and districts. 6 ANOTHER GOLD FIND MAY. BE NEAR Next to the American Revolution, perhaps the most important event in the history of this nation was the discovery of gold in California. It brought the first great influx of population to the Pacific Coast, the first railway to span the continent. It decided that the Stars and Stripes, and not to the Straits of Georgia. Gold discoveries have been forerunners of civilization the world over. Another coming now would pour new monetary wealth into international trade. The most intensive search in 40 years is now una some other flag,. . Would fly from San Diego day for which there is unlimited demand. Reduction of interest rates on savings deposits undoubtedly will take some idle money from the bank vaults and place it into goldmining or gold-prospecting ventures. . ‘The public should: bear in mind that the only effective dollar is the one that will buy treasury stock. The search for gold is not aided by j the purchase in the open market of . sociates of Southern California, gold-mining shares already issued. There is a great difference between financing the search for gold and speculating in gold-mining stocks. Those with excess funds can well afford to finance to produce more Chronicle gold.—Spokane 0 BOOKLET ON PLACER MINING Calls so numerous for the Idaho Bureau of Mines bulliten on placer mining that a second edition must legitimate efforts: THE NEVADA CITY NUGGET, CALIF ORNIA \EASY BIRD MINE — IS AGAIN ACTIVE: San Andreas, s, Calif. July 2,—The Angels Consolidated Gold Mines, Ltd., controlled by Elmo Lincoln of Los Angeles, Todd B. Elliott, San habilitation of the Angels and Sultana mines at Angels Camp, which thy recently acquired under leases and bonds. They have put a force of carpenters to work building a 60-foot headframe for erection over the 850-foot three-compartment vertical shaft on the Angels mine thru which the two properties, both famous gold producters and ilde since 1917, will be operated in the future. other preliminary work is required . and . will be strated as be issued immediately, are reported j rapidly as possible. Mr. Elliott states by Dr. John W. Finch, dean of mines . University of Idaho at Moscow. This suddenly popular bulletin, “Elementary Methods of Placer Mining,’’ was written by Prof. W. W. Staley of the minés school faculty. Since early last fall the school of mines has been receiving calls from all parts” of the country for information on placer ‘mining, many of the inquiries are evidently from amateur miners about to set out for the hills in the search for gold. The bulletin was authorized by the bureau of mines and geology, primarily to set jforth the desired information in a simple and condensed form to people inexperienced in mining. . The first edition was exhausted three weeks after it was announced The second edition. is now on the press. The bulletin is 20 pages long, including five pages of drawings and diagrams. Professor Staley discnsses the geology of placer deposits; describes methods of panning gold, construction of rockers, sluices, and other simple equipment; amalgamation, and a breif survey of mining laws. The popularity of the bulletin is a@ result of the widespread interest in gold mining, a condition brough. about largely by the low prices of other metals, Dean French believes. oo 0. GOLD LOST IN FLOTATION Microscopic study of the form in which gold was lost in flotation experiments on an oxidized ore from the Tintic District, Utah, was recently made in the tive work between the United States Bureau of Mines and _ the sity of Utah. The result of this’ study established the fact that’ the gold in the flotation tailing was present in thé metallic form and that the greater portion of the gold particles lost were smaller than 200 mesh. A comparison of the gold particles in the tailing with those recoyered in the concentrate showed that the surfaces of the majority of the Particles lost were tarnished a brown color, but those in the concentrate were relatively clean and bright. Although the exact nature of the tarnish on the gold in the tailings was not conclusively determined, it was readily removed by hydrochloric acid. This, and other’ evidence, indicates that it is probably an iron salt.—Mining Truth. ee LINEN TAPE BEST ON HIGH TENSION WIRING Linen tape, rather than friction tape, should be used on high tension wiring, advises the Free Emergency Road Service of the California State.
