INCREASING OF BULLION "FROM BLAST FURNA The concluding examination of the Zactors that make it possible for a Yead blast furnace handling a rich «harge to make as much as 200 tons of bullion in one day is given in Report Investigations 3096 of the United States Bureau of Mines, issuea recently. This. paper goes into the fonditions at the tuyers zone of such a furnace. : When the maximum capacity was obtained, the active free area at the tuyere zone was found to be only about 25 per cent of the total. Howver, the gases in this zone were extremely hot, and the concentration of €arbon monoxide was high. Furthermore, this zone was at the apex of a funnel shaped mass of semi-mo!ten w@harge that extended upward, thus Ziving considerable surface. Coke was found to arrive irreguZarly at the tuyere zone and this gave @ very unexpected condition of altermate reduction and oxidation. Such & condition made it possible to oxadize some of the sulphides arriving i at the tuyere zone, among which was Zead sulphide, unaltered in the fusiWle rich charge. At other times the ‘atmosphere was very highly reducing which, together with the high temerature, made it possible to metalize mand lignate out the lead at a rapid , wate. The blast furnace with a short <olumn and a small amount of coke and a rich charge then operates in Many ways similarly to a Scotch hearth. FIRE CONSUMES OLD LAND Gap Again an old landmark has been fonsumed by fire. Early Friday morning a house occupied by Ernest De Prati, which will be known to ‘ex-residents as the old Campbell Wlace or the John Davis house, caught fire by a spark lighting on the roof. When discovered by W. E. Moulton who is the owner of the Wlace, the flames had made such a headway that it was impossible to Save ti. The neighbors who were ‘quickly on the scene had to work thard to keep the fire from spreading ; to adjoining fences and other buildings. All we can depend upon for Water in this seetion is from wells. Mr. De Prati was badly burned in frying to save some of his papers ana 2was taken to the hospital for medical aid.

The future operation of the two properties will be prosecuted through tical shaft on the Angels mine, which is now being retimbered from the surface to the present water level— 150 feet below the collar. When this work is completed a 1500-gallon per minute electric pump will be installedto unwater the extensive workings of both mines, a task which, it is of-' ficially estimated, will require four months’ time. (Milling ‘operations at the Easy Bird, one mile north of Mokelumne Hill, have been increased from eight to 16 hours a day. Manager Todd B. Elliott states that the plant is reducing daily 70 tons of ore and that by amalgamation and concentration a a recovery of $8 to $9 a ton is being losses a four-cell oil flotation unit is at present being added to the milling facilities. When placed in commission, Manager Elliott says the plant should make a recovery of 92 per cent of the metal content of the ore treated. Two shifts of miners are breaking 20 feet of ore on the 200-foot level of the property, it is stated. Under a lease and bond from the Calaveras Mining and Milling ComPany, Charles G. Patrick, Los Angeles mining engineer, and associates have acquired the Black Wonaer mine, eight miles southeast of West Point, and are at present dewatering and repairing its 225-foot incline shaft. INSTALLS NEW HOIST ~ AT DICKEY BOY MINE SONORA, Cal., Sept 30.—As a preliminary to increased underground exploratory work at its property on Sullivan Creek, two miles south of management is erecting to its 100foot incline shaft a new 55-foot headframe and installing a 35-horsepower electric hoist and four-drill compressor: Plans are also being formulated for the early construction of a 10-stamp mill on the ground, according to Lee R. Cordray, formerly of Los Angeles, president and manager. Operations are being supervised by F. E. Hooker, formerly an Arizona mine operator. Upon completion of the installation of the new mechanical equipment, the shaft will be continued an additional 200 feet to the 300-foot point at which lateral development on an extensive scale will be inaugurated,, it is asserted to intersect the downward extensions of ore showings on the 100-foot level. Dr. R. I. Bromley and Leonard Lepape of Sonora have sold, under lease and bond, to W. L. O’Brien of Modesto, Cal., the Bromley mine two miles west of Sonora. Mr. ’Brien has put a force of miners to work sinking a shaft on a two-foot orebody of excellent grade, specimens from which show free gotd to the naked eye. The Tuolumne Mines Corporation, operating the Layman mine near Confidence, has acquired, under lease and bond, from J. D. Thomas of Tulare, Calif., and Mrs. Francis Mull of San Francisco the Lucky Strike group of six claims adjoining on the south. Excellent results, it is asserted, are being obtained in the operation of the Layman Pproberty, which is equipped with a 10stamp mill. SAFETY MEASURES AT LAKE SUPERIOR MINES A discussion of safety standards and safety suggestions at iron mines in the Lake Superior region is given Although it may be impracticable ‘to adopt standard methods of safe working in all branches of mining, establish a standard for each class fof work at each mine, some of the iron mining companies in the Lake Superior district have found that by adopting certain standard ways of performing certain of their opersafer working conditions, says the author. Many companies have adopted the idea that the safe way of doing things is also the most efficient . @ Sonora, the Dickey Boy Mine, Ltd.,}and although it may be impossible to . ations they insure both efficient and} ene the medium of their safety conference they are trying to find the safest way, and the most efficient way, of Performing practically every operation about the mines. : This activity will, undoubtedly, be continued at every operation which uses this method of doing safety work, because in the advance of industry changes must be made in the ‘results required from time to time. A review of the safety standards and safety suggestions which have been arrived at by some of the companies in this, the greatest iron-mining district in the world, will be of value to companies who-are interested in improving the safety. of their working conditions. 0.
