Channing reports there is an in‘cline shaft down 100 feet on the vein which dips at an angle of 70 degrees. The vein is 16 inches in width of typical Mother Lode quartz and that the ore shows free gold both in the drift and on the 10 foot level as well as in a shallow winze thirty feet from the shaft. The ore contains some sulphuretes and good milling ore on the dump.

Mining possesses a great lure because of its romantic character, It attracts men who know the business and men who do not know mining.

BLUE LEAD CONSOLIDATED HITS VALUABLE ANCIENT CHANNEL The Blue .Lead Consolidated Mining Company. operated by business men of San Francisco, has been looking for the old Blue Lead channel in the Relief Hill district for the past year and a half. A tunnel driven 2,500 feet, they intersected the Blue Lead channel through an upraise of eleven feet above their workings. Although this seems that it is at least 20 feet above bed. rock on the rim, the gravel prospects splendidly and justifies the report current of what the old channel did years ago when worked by local owners. Some thirty years ago the owners made an upraise into this channel at a distance of 2,000 feet from the portal. About 45 feet above the tunnel the channel was intersected and ona small bench worked at this point-they: took out some $62,000. Some very coarse gold was found in their washings. One nugget was displayed at the Chicago Fair and later at the St. Louis Fair weighing 13 ounces. It was tak_ en from the channel at, this point. It is the expectation of the company to find much gravel Jike that in the channel as soon as the projected development of the company is completed. It has always been known that the best gravel taken _ out in the state came from this chan“nel upon which were located famous mines such asthe Melakoff, the Derbec, the Blue Lead, Waukashaw, Union, Eureka, SnoW Point, Alpha and Omega mines. A Yecord of the production of these properties is to be found at the Bureau of Mines in. , the Ferry Building, San Francisco. It is the intention of the company to equip the mine with the most modern machinery employed in gravel. All the mining timber requirworking it under the conditions such as exist at the Blue Lead that gravel going two dollars a load can be made to pay -handsome dividends. The gravel already developed in their upraise is considerable better than two dollar gravel: So it is no longer a question of what they can do, but a matter of equipment only. The equipment will be put in immediately and the mine put on production within a very short time. The installation of the generator, gravel bins, and sluice boxes is being pushed as rapidly as possible at the present ime. The company: has the advantage of a system for working the gravel. All the mining tiinber required is to be had on the ground, free power for operating and washing are theirs so that the property can be worked -as economically as it is possible to work gravel at the present time. It is only natural that all those interested in the property feel decidedly jubilant. over the showing disclosed in the upraise and they are determined to push the work as rapidly as possible and feel that they are justified in hoping to make the Blue Lead one of the best gravel produ¢ing. mines in’ the state . The officers of the company are Peter B: Feely, president; Charles H. Goldsberry, secretary and treasurer; and Harry B.

Tudor, president of the Gold Star Miniwg and Development was [email protected] this week at the property and has a big smile for they are finding some real nice ore these days which puts pep even in the miners who are. working at the Gold Star. Mr. Roy King, consulting engineer for the Gold Star Mine, is predicting big things for the future of the mine. ‘ This is one of the: most promising in Nevada county and Mr. Tudor thinks he can in time have as big a mine as any of the mines that are here now. On Deer Creek Hill, off Corn Meal Ravine a, couple of prospectors sank a ‘shaft about fifty years ago and hauled the ore out with a team and it is stated that they took out about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars but they were swamped with water and had no modern pumps like we have today. Therefore, although that was a large sum of money, they abandoned the mine. This is the eastern end of the Gold Star property. After a ten days shut down the Gold Star has eompleted one of the best hoists of its kind in this section and it will handle the ore to quite! a depth. thousand feet from where he is sities ing the Gold Star shaft. This, ore éame from thé.old Newton mine ang some of it ran as high as two hun— dred and eighty dollars for gold an& two thousand ounces for silver per ton. ; This paper wishes the Gold Star the best of success as their success means'a betterment for the commu-— nity at large. ~ —9 ALASKA MINE HAS — VISIT FROM THE OWNER SIERRA General and Mrs. W. S. Schuyler of the Sierra Alaska mine are spend— ing a few days at the mine. They spent Saturday night at the National Hotel. — The Sierra Alaska mine is one of the richest gold producers in this section. Like many other noted pro— ducers, we undersiand, a great flow of water stopped operation:. General and Mrs. Schuyler hs home at Carmel-by-the-Se2 ani have made several trips to the mine iu the interests of the property. INSTALL MACHINERY TO DEMONSTRATE NEW MILL PROCESS TESTS MADE OF LUCHENBACH METHOD FOR RECOVERING GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM A process for the recovery of gold, silver and other precious metals. by the use of a chemical compound is being demonstrated in Reno by the Mineral Recovery Process of Nevada. A table manufactured by the parent. company is in operation at 1% N. The company has the very latest} ‘ing made on ore submitted for the and best machinery that money can buy as far as theyhave advanced and they expect to put up a modern ball and rod mill followed by latest compressor air flotation. This should occur at an early date or as scon as they sink about fifty feet) deeper and get a larg er tonnage of ore to stope, Mr. Tudor likes California better: than Alaska for the simple reason . and . that in Alaska one eighty five dadys hundred is considered a long year, while here it is possible’ to mine the year round. Me is quite: Lode of' familiar with the Mother California and he Considers Nevada county the best as it has to its credit some of the oldest and best producing and big dividend paying al. Some of us denounced demoneti{mines in the world. zation of silver as one of the moastj One thing that the miners like Mr. henious crimes in history for at one; Tudor for is that he will not ask a stroke the value of praciically onehalf the world’s money was destroyed. “The amount of gold in the world . is too small to maintain the wor!d’s enormous credit. Furthermore, its production is rapidly decreasing, while the issuance of credit and the volume of business is increasing. If our present policy of gold monometallism is maintained, gold willl increase in value and commodities . will decrease, bringing increased burdens to the debtor class. “In my opinion the time was never more ripe for a vigorous movement . to rehabilitate the white metal and give to it, not an increased commodity value but an increasedd monetary value. . ‘After I had urged President Hoover to confer with the leading nations of the world with the view of calling a conference which would deal constructively with the silver question, I received indications of interest in the matter from other countries. Among these was information that one of the largest commercial organizations in Great Britain had adopted resolutions calling to ‘the attention of the British government the importance of broadening the basis of credit. “T believe that when congress meets in December, one of the ma: jor questions presented for consideration will be one which looks to the adoption of a plan for a wider use of silver for commerciala nd indeed, for all monetary purposes. There s a brighter day ahead for Silver, and that day will dawn in the not far distant future,”’ rapidly. The property has been operated by the Burton Brothers, H. Clifis operating ten hours a day and ford Burton and Cecil J. Burton, for stoping and drifting are advancing the past three years. eg Be ee i man to do any risky work that he would not do himself. There are two. things that Mr. Tudor is very proud of and they are that his. associates are all high class men of means of New York state, one of whom, Mr. Sanford F. DeVed, has a seat on the mining exchange of New York and the other is that the best ore, with plenty of gold in sight at the Nevada City Chamber or Commerce came from less than one the; Luckenbach, New York metallurgist. _ pound.

It is es— . pecially adapted for the recovery of . gold and platinum from sands but , works equally as well, it is claimed, 'on any crushed product containing, . the metals. Recovery of the metals is made b¥ . a vibrating machine designed for the purpose. The finely crushed ore is fed into.a traveling rubber belt, which is covered by canvas on which . the compound is spread. The compound takes up the metals and the gangue passes off. The metals are then recovered by burning Se comThe machine set up In Reno has a@ capacity of 70 tons a day and test runs on ore’ submitted without charge. The machines are sold at cost price to be operated on a royalty basis and the sale price is re-~ bated on royalties.

Tudor, president of the Gold Star Miniwg and Development was [email protected] this week at the property and has a big smile for they are finding some real nice ore these days which puts pep even in the miners who are. working at the Gold Star. Mr. Roy King, consulting engineer for the Gold Star Mine, is predicting big things for the future of the mine. ‘ This is one of the: most promising in Nevada county and Mr. Tudor thinks he can in time have as big a mine as any of the mines that are here now. On Deer Creek Hill, off Corn Meal Ravine a, couple of prospectors sank a ‘shaft about fifty years ago and hauled the ore out with a team and it is stated that they took out about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars but they were swamped with water and had no modern pumps like we have today. Therefore, although that was a large sum of money, they abandoned the mine. This is the eastern end of the Gold Star property. After a ten days shut down the Gold Star has eompleted one of the best hoists of its kind in this section and it will handle the ore to quite! a depth. thousand feet from where he is sities ing the Gold Star shaft. This, ore éame from thé.old Newton mine ang some of it ran as high as two hun— dred and eighty dollars for gold an& two thousand ounces for silver per ton. ; This paper wishes the Gold Star the best of success as their success means'a betterment for the commu-— nity at large. ~ —9 ALASKA MINE HAS — VISIT FROM THE OWNER SIERRA General and Mrs. W. S. Schuyler of the Sierra Alaska mine are spend— ing a few days at the mine. They spent Saturday night at the National Hotel. — The Sierra Alaska mine is one of the richest gold producers in this section. Like many other noted pro— ducers, we undersiand, a great flow of water stopped operation:. General and Mrs. Schuyler hs home at Carmel-by-the-Se2 ani have made several trips to the mine iu the interests of the property. INSTALL MACHINERY TO DEMONSTRATE NEW MILL PROCESS TESTS MADE OF LUCHENBACH METHOD FOR RECOVERING GOLD, SILVER, PLATINUM A process for the recovery of gold, silver and other precious metals. by the use of a chemical compound is being demonstrated in Reno by the Mineral Recovery Process of Nevada. A table manufactured by the parent. company is in operation at 1% N. The company has the very latest} ‘ing made on ore submitted for the and best machinery that money can buy as far as theyhave advanced and they expect to put up a modern ball and rod mill followed by latest compressor air flotation. This should occur at an early date or as scon as they sink about fifty feet) deeper and get a larg er tonnage of ore to stope, Mr. Tudor likes California better: than Alaska for the simple reason . and . that in Alaska one eighty five dadys hundred is considered a long year, while here it is possible’ to mine the year round. Me is quite: Lode of' familiar with the Mother California and he Considers Nevada county the best as it has to its credit some of the oldest and best producing and big dividend paying al. Some of us denounced demoneti{mines in the world. zation of silver as one of the moastj One thing that the miners like Mr. henious crimes in history for at one; Tudor for is that he will not ask a stroke the value of praciically onehalf the world’s money was destroyed. “The amount of gold in the world . is too small to maintain the wor!d’s enormous credit. Furthermore, its production is rapidly decreasing, while the issuance of credit and the volume of business is increasing. If our present policy of gold monometallism is maintained, gold willl increase in value and commodities . will decrease, bringing increased burdens to the debtor class. “In my opinion the time was never more ripe for a vigorous movement . to rehabilitate the white metal and give to it, not an increased commodity value but an increasedd monetary value. . ‘After I had urged President Hoover to confer with the leading nations of the world with the view of calling a conference which would deal constructively with the silver question, I received indications of interest in the matter from other countries. Among these was information that one of the largest commercial organizations in Great Britain had adopted resolutions calling to ‘the attention of the British government the importance of broadening the basis of credit. “T believe that when congress meets in December, one of the ma: jor questions presented for consideration will be one which looks to the adoption of a plan for a wider use of silver for commerciala nd indeed, for all monetary purposes. There s a brighter day ahead for Silver, and that day will dawn in the not far distant future,”’ rapidly. The property has been operated by the Burton Brothers, H. Clifis operating ten hours a day and ford Burton and Cecil J. Burton, for stoping and drifting are advancing the past three years. eg Be ee i man to do any risky work that he would not do himself. There are two. things that Mr. Tudor is very proud of and they are that his. associates are all high class men of means of New York state, one of whom, Mr. Sanford F. DeVed, has a seat on the mining exchange of New York and the other is that the best ore, with plenty of gold in sight at the Nevada City Chamber or Commerce came from less than one the; Luckenbach, New York metallurgist. _ pound.

Recovery of the metals is made b¥ . a vibrating machine designed for the purpose. The finely crushed ore is fed into.a traveling rubber belt, which is covered by canvas on which . the compound is spread. The compound takes up the metals and the gangue passes off.
