THE MAJESTIC COPPER CO.
Mines in Beaver County Proving Up Well
With Development.
(News. Milford, Utah.)
Supt A. D. Moffat, of the Majestic Cop·
Iler, Mining & Smelting company, announced
that during the month of June the Old
Hickory was able to ship only sixteen cars
o fore, but that it closed the month with
ien or twelve cars broken down and ready
for shipm€nt. 'The company has been ex·
periencing some difficulty in getting com·
petent miners to operate its machinery or
yields could have been made even larger.
It has also been embarrassed by a short·
age of teams to haul are to the railroad.
Mr. Moffatt announces that In the course
of a very few days arrangements will be
completed whereby this ore will be hauled
to a near painton the Hickory branch of
the railroad, thus necessitating a haul of
only about half a mile as againEt some·
thing over four miles at the present time,
and the shorter road will be much the bet·
ter haul, not only in distance but,also in
the character of the road.
Amon'gst the cars shipped last month two
cars netted $759 and the last four <!3rs ship­
ped netted $1,047. Returns on the other
ten cars have not yet been received.
Up to the j)resent moment the company
has been running with a small compressor,
capable of making only 135 cubic feet 0:
air per minute. The difference will enable
them to run four or five machines as
against only one up to the present time.
W. R. Martin, our townsman of Milford, is
installing the new compressor which will
be ready for USH in a few days.
The company has been working at the
Old Hickory only two shifts of 'men up
to the present time and has been shut
down during the 4th of July holidays in
Milford. The third shift will be installed
just as quickly as competent men can be
obtained.
The Beaver River Power company has
almost completed the power line, which will
furnish elec,tric power for the use of the
company instead of gasoline Ih! heretofore.
The new power line will be finished in only
a few days.
The Harrington-Hickory.
At the Harrington-Hickory in Star dis­
trict, the Majestic company has now drltted
from the main shaft 290 feet on the 550
foot level, 'going to the west. The fissure
is still holding very strong. They ought
I- to be in the are body, for wnlch they are
driving, any day. This work tor tne \'lst
thirty days has been purely development
work and no shipments were made during
June.

THE LEGITIMACY OF MINING.
After a season of unsatisfactory invest·
ment in railroad securities, in manufacturin~
enterprises, in the reclamation of swamp
lands, in real estate and lands, financial
and commercial c;rcles in the east are
turning their eyes to the west, to the splen.
did opportunities offered in the mining fiel!\!,
to the great advancement being made in
mining operations, and to the wonderful
fortunes being made by those engaged in
the mining industry.
In financial and commercial centers in
the east all eyes are turned to the west.
A great many whose attention has been
directed westward are particularly intnested
in commercial pursuits, in a.griculture, in
farming and in stock raising, but the great­
est interest, by all odds, is being taken in
our wonderful mining industry.
In rev;ewing the history of the west,
in noting its almost marvelous growth, onc
cannot but be impressed by the fact that
it was mining that reclaimed the desert~,
the valleys and hills, and that had it not
been for the adventurous spirit of the pion
eer miner and prospector the Pacific slope
today would be what is was fifty or sixty
years ago-an unknown country, a barren
waste, a region beyond the confines of civ:·
Iization.
To the mining industry the west owes
a debt that can never be repaid, and its
very existence, almost, is due to the con­
stant stream of imperishable wealth that
has poured from our mines from the day
that gold was first discovered in CalHor
nia. As a matter of fact, California, with
its genial climate, its orchards Illl its groves,
the mighty commerce tht is making the
principal cities and sea ports famous the
world over, its large and rapidly growing
population, is but the outgrowth of the
boom that was started when it was dis­
covered that in the hills, back from the
coast, there existed gteat and almost in
exhaustible deposits of the precious metals;
and the same can be truthfully said of the
interior states in this intermountain region.
Gold was the lodestone that first led to
the settlemelit of Calif(,mia by the Ameri·
can people; and the spirit of unrest, of en­
terprise and progressiveness, caused tllP
early pioneers to branch out and seek bo
nanzas is unknown fields, the result be'ng
that there is hardly a western state today
but that has ils mining camps, its hus'lIes~
centers and a country that is settled by the
farmer, the rancher and the fruit and cat·
tle grower.

6. Greenawalt Down Draft Pans.
A Greenawalt pan was successfully oper·
ated at the Modern plant, near Denver,
Colo., in 1910. An account of the operating
is g:ven by Austin, Mineral Industry, 1910,
p. 186, but the fol:owing may well be added:
Construction began in December, 1910.
but various delays prevented operation un­
til February, 1910. One pan only was in
service almost continuously from them un·
til the plant closed down in June, 1910.
The materialsintered was copper con­
centrates and flue dust. This mixture was
just such a one as others have not been
able to slnster successfu1ly on account of
the fineness of the material. Many of tile
first trials were flat failures. and good_ re­
sults came only when it was found that the
moisture content was the v:tal point.
Charges which could be ignited only in
spots and utterly Incompetent of compbte
Bintel'ing gave splendid sinters when prop­
erly moistened and thoroughly mixed. De­
pending on the fineness of the charge Ul>

s' sted of about 3 parts of flue dust with 1
of concentrates. As the flue dust contained
on-Iy some 7 per cent. of sulphur the con­
centrates supplied most of the fuel val'le.
Larger proportions of concentrates could be
used, even up to 2 parts of concentrates,
with 1 part of flue dust. All immediate
proport:ons made good sinters, but for the
requirements of the regular work the first
was used. The sulphur content varied from
12 to 15 per cent., and seldom exceeded is
per cent.
At the Modern plant it was desired to
sinter the flue dust and concentrates. not
primarily to desulphurize, Accordingly no
special attention was given to the sulphur
e'imination. The charges were dumped red
hot and smoking, and as soon as the ma­
terial had agglomerated. This eliminated
constitution there is very little motion of
about 50 per cent of the sulphur. whereas
longer treatment would eliminate 75 per
cent.
With the comparatively low sulphur of
the charge. its high silica content, and prac­
tical ahserice of lead. no ill effects resulted
from forcing the draft. It was found that
the time of operating could be materially
reduced by raising the suction. From 1
hour with 12 inches of water suction the
time fen to 45 minutes. with 16 inches.
and finally to about 35 minutes with 20

where it came In demand to use instea1 of
slag,
The second installation of a Greenawalt
down draft pan was made at the Midvale
plant of the United States Smelting, Re­
fining & Mining company early in 1911. ,Suf­
ficient operation proved that. although a
better roast and sinter could be made with
the pan, and that its operating cOot would
probably be acceptable, its capacity on tlls
charge provided was much less than that of
the stall units already long operated. Small
scale experiments indicated that the capac­
ity of a. large '!Jan would more than equal
to tonnage of the stalls, In actual opera­
t'on, the mixture provided was so very
much different from the ones easily made
for a little cake that the results were dis­
appointing. High 'SulphUr charges with
slag and matte with up,draft blast, merely
hold their heat and refuse to finish under
the influence of the suction; the low sulphur
charges have no heavy ignition to do thE'
roasting in place of the internal fuel. and
leave raw patches,
After the working of over a hundred tons
on the pan three of the regular stalls were
slightly remodeled and connected with the
fan which had served the pan; some 2,500
tons of product were then made. using suc­
tion and the regular charge, This attempt
also proved disappointing in that me tall,
ll'l.ge by no means equalled that of the reg­
ular stalls.
The down-draft system is characterized
by the gentleness of the action; there is no
enormOus generation of heat In an igniting
bed of glowing coal and high sulphur con­
centrates; in fact. if glowing coal be spread
on top to ignite the charge, the first b'lrst
of air through the origInally porous charge
is apt to so fuse the top layers that the
pores are permanently closed and the rest
of the desulphurisation indefinitely pro,
longed. The briefer the ignition, provided
that the top layers are once fully ligted,
so much the better will the subsequent
roasting proceed.
With the gentle ignition follows a roast­
ing and sintering equally uuostentatlous.
'Vhere the charge is of exactly the proper

Instead of rushes operations. The mixture
should be so uniform that each little layer

the next, itself becom'ng cold.

Wlth the advent of the blast·roasting and

tions arise when the problem comes to
hand:e and treat the variety of material to
so many processes with a limit to the capi­
tal expend·ture and operating cost.
The components of the charge to be ob­
tained of un'form character, accurately
weighed, thoroughly mixed, suitably mois·

roasted, discharged and removed for stor­
age. The rest of the paper will be de·

and carry;ng out of these manipulations.
1: Preparing the Charge.
There is apparently only one satisfactory
condition in which material may be re­
ceived either at the sampling mill or at
the roaster bins-dry. To accept e:ther con·
centrates or ores in any other condition
means greater error in original weighhl,
moisture, sampling and distribUting, besides
far more difficulty in un:oading.
The chief concern is naturally to be able
to get the material out again and to get it
out always graduaily in small parcels and
always of the exact mean composition what·
ever particular method of storage be used.
To attain this the material must certainly
be ·first uniformly unloaded. From the
metallurgist's. point of view it is a pitll'ul
sight to see a samp~e man standing on flll
island. of coarse concentrates in a steel car.
the mud and slimes surround him on ,;11
sides and he tries to get in to a small pail

 _.... """ut how wet
w nat good is a 'sulphur determina­
Jon from shovel sampling such a mess. Just
1S certainly now, as later, we may see tn"
Jl working and high sulphurs resulting in
~he final roast. Aside from direct unlcad­
ng, possibly us:ng steel troughs, and hand
,preading below, there is no conspicu')u~
nethod applicable to unloading.
The sampling of either dry concentrates,
)r silicious or other ores for diluting ma.t­
:er, may be carried out sufficiently well {or
:he roasting department by shovel sam pie
1t the time the cars are unloaded. Can·
:entrating p:ants would certainly ·tind it to
:heir advantage to send out their product
'airly dry and well mixed. This should
ldd no noteworthy burden of cost to the
nill, and might eliminate conSiderable gues,,·
.v ark as to their own efficiency; the smelter
:ould well afford to allow a small bOllUS
'or the good service, or even penaLze the
)pposite.
As to the sampling of the silicious and
ron ores wh:ch are necessarily mechanical­
y sampled in a mill, and whose fines are to
)e screened out for diluent, it may be sa:d
:hat no extra cost is justifiable for "this serv­
ceo A well designed and efficient mill
landJing several hundred tons of ore a day
lnd sampling at a cost of 10 to 15c. per
:on should dc> the screening for a fraction
)f a cent, only, additional; to crush every­
,hing to half-inch, or thereabouts, a couple
:ents might be added.
If raw, massive sulphides are to be crush­
!d and roasted they shou:d be reduced to
)lJ.SS a screen with %,-inch mesh. The
fluent need not be reduced quite as fine,
lit it will do no harm; nothing larger than
-inch has any place in blast-roasters. Be­
:Ie!! losing its intrinsic diluting effect
3.rser material inevitably segregates from
l fine; th:s is very important, for the
terial must need be handled several times
, the un-mixing itself, without any cumu­
ve effect, will be found bad enough.
rhe weighing of the constituents of the
cure presents no particular difficulty, aI­
gh certain errors are to be a voided.
iplicity of scales and the placing of
s in unfavorable locations is not only
rce of serious error but costly. Stan­
railroad platform scales, when prop­
ared for and regularly tested and ad­
, will answer every purpose for mak·
,ge beds or mixtures of several hun·
ons. Smaller platform scales serve
ghing into tram cars or ordinary mine
I this case it is best to provide only
two scales. using these much and
them in good condition. Great care
taken to keep the tare of the cars
elter weighmaster wil! probably re­
weight of ,a 50-ton car of ore t:>
10 lbs. of its correct weight; that
I probably weigh to within 1 patt
'he usual scaler in a smelter who
receives about $2.25 a shift, when weigh­
ing out ton ·batches into a 3-ton' tram car,
will be do'ng splendId work if he gets his
ton lots weighed to within 10 lbs. of what
they actually are; th:s is to 1 part in 21)0.
Beside.s the natural bother of weighing to
mark the tare in the latter case is extreme­
ly difficult to keep adjusted. In attempting
to accurately gauge small parcels of matar­
ial it is more than likely that a system of
measuring, indirectly referred to its weight,
wEl be found mDre satisfactory_ Mechanical
feeding devices appear the proper thing for
this work, espeCially for feeding from b'.ns
onto conveyor belts which will carry the
material to th~ mixer.
Storing the supply of concentrates and
crushed ores ha'S already been touched upon;
bedding the individual components in alter­
ating laYel's and drawing off a vertical sec­
tion w~iCh is again mixed and conveyed to
the hoppers satisfies ail demands and quite
likely supplies as uniform a charge as may
be obtained. However, in this case there
is the expense of spreading and a further
'considerable capital outlay if arrangements
are made to draw off the material into cars
run beneath the beds. With uniformly fine
material, such as concentrates, either flat
or hopper bottomed bins might be used, but
without spreading, segregation almost eel',
talnly results, and they are d:ficult to draw
without again involving the same difficulty.
A variety of methodS of storing the ma­
terials might be suggested besides these
more common ones; particular attention
must be given for the abnormal conditions
of wetness and severe freezing weather.
Besides promptly doubling the cost of this
part of the work, freezing not only may
greatly decrease the tonnage but the charge
cannot be mixed, it roasts poorly and the
product is bad.
If the material is assembled in beds it
may be drawn and sent directly to the
mechanical mixer. If the material is dra wn
from separate bins it may be first assembled
into cars and transferred to the mixer, or
run ontD conveyor belts or onto the same
belt and delivered to the mixer. For exist­
ing plants this item of cost is usually rather
high; in these plants the roasting depart·
ment has often been built after the plant
was laid out; in planning for .new plant!!
or rebuilding old departments foresight may
easily save a few cents per ton by happy
,combination of method and arrangement of
parts.
The mixing of the charge has already
been referred to as of vital importance;
hand mix;ng is not only costly and inef·
ficient but does not do the work. Of lhe
mechanical mixers available in the market
the batch mixers probably give the best
results for the reason that the material may
be retained sufficiently long for thorough in­
corporation. If any c~ntinuous mixer should
accomplish the same it would be available.
Concrete mixers are handy and reliabie,
while for large tonnages otl
serve better, the pOints of

A carload of uranium ore, Wlhich will run
at from $300 to $350 a ton. will be freighted
from tJhe uranium claims on Pack creek to
Thompsons, next week, where it has al­
ready ,been contarmed for by the American
Smelting & Refining company. Over twenty
tons of the ore have already been gotten
out; and the balan~e of the carload will be
ready for the sac!Ls by: tomorrow night:
A representative of the buyers will be
here the fil'St of the week, and will test the
enUre carload of ore. As soon as thLs Is
done, freighting will commence. The car·
load w.il! consist of about twenty·five tons.
T,he ore is very easy of access, the twen·
ty ton,s being mined in ten day:;;. There
oan be at least four or five carloads mined
and shipped within the next three months.
The claims are ownoo by J. L. Wade, A. M.
Rogers, Thea T. Duncan and R. L. Win·
bourn.
T1he ore lies in a blanket formation about
two feet wide, a.nd a tunnel was commencoo
this week :in order to get out the ore witJh·
out getting it mixed with other rock. Mr.
Wade has had over half a dozen tests made
of the ore, and the lowest grade that was
analyzed runs at $241 a ton. The Pack
creek uranium ore is of much higher grade
than boot shipped from Green River, Cbco
or P.al'3.doJ(, and in fact is said to be the
richest ever mined.

awaited with interest.
Manhattan Post: By means of a winze
being sunk on the vein of rich ore recently
discovered in the workings of the Dexter­
Union Mines company. the same has wid·
ened from six inches to two and a half
feet. It started some four weeks ago with
values averaging $1,000 a ton. Since then
with the increase in volume the grade of
the ore has come down to good milllng val­
ues, but the greater size permits its being
worked by the removal of ore exclusively
with a handsome profit on its extraction
and reduction.

FOUND AN OLD CHANNEL.
A dispatch from Graniteville, California.
saY'S:
A paleozoic aurferous gravel dejJ()sit o.f thE!
ancient dead river cnannel system of the
'',Big Blue Lead" has been found within
half a mile (}f Graniteville, and this is the
first authentic informa.tion published that
there were such gravel deposits in the Eu­
reka district, eas't of Gra.niteville.
<Bald mountain is covered with a caD
andesitic lava, and in the past half cen­
tury a few ineffectual attempt'S were made
to pierce the granite bedrock with tunnels
to get at the channel which was supposed
to be under the lava cap. Geologists said
nay, that it was too fial" east. A. C. Travis,
an old-time prospector, contended other­
wLse, and drove a tunnel in the mountain
within gunshot of Graniteville. He struck
a rim rock of granite.
This spring he went lower down and ran
a tunnel from Madman's lia;t th,rough the
soil, which soon gave way to clay. An ex­
pert now declares that the clay is of the
dark "pip.in·g" variety known among mIners
of the Big Blue Lead as "chocolate," found
only in the ancient river channels as a
blanket to gold-bearing gravel. The experts'
declaration were verified within the past
few daylS by the uncovering of a seam of
gravel of the genuin€ ancient channel kind.
Travil3 has interested John Hippert and'
his two sons, and with S. Hirsch of Lodi
they are now organizing a stock company
to develop the mine to be known 3JS the
Graniteville Gold Mining company. Parties
in Sacramento have agreed to take the en­
time treasury stock to create a fund to· de·
fray the expense of development and im­
provement.
The tunnel is started on the outlet at th€
lower end of the Channel, a circumstance
of rare luck in this class of maning, and
Manager Travis is preparing to extract the
gravel in large quantities. It is now be­
lieved that much of the gold found in the
early days in Poor Man's creek-which
made many poor men rich-had its source
in this channel.

CALIFORNIA MINING NEWS.
(By G. Chester Brown, E. M.)
San Francisco, July 10.~Mining is very
active along the Mother Lode, and especial·
ly so in Amador county. The body of ore
recently exposed- on the 950-foot level of
the Fremont Conso~idated is of good mill·
ing quality, and the shoot is being opened
up extensively. Considerable work is being
done on the Tightner, as a triple-compart­
ment shaft Is being sunk from the 500 to
the I,OOO-foot level.
The Zeile, one of the oldest quartz mines
in California,has ben examined by experts
for southern California investors. This
property has been developed to a depth of
1,400 feet, and much ore was sorted under
ground, making mining costly; and yet a

good production has been obtained during
the past year.
A new ledge has been opened up on
the 1,400·foot level of the Oneida, owned by
the South Eureka Mining company, and,
as this company has been successful In its
operations, the work pursued should gIve
excellent results. The Amador Queen looks
to be a dividend-paying property, for the
ledge on the 550 is improving all the time,
and active development work is being car­
ried on.
A number of good strikes have been re­
ported from the Alleghany district, Sierra
>county. The King Solomon, which has been
a producer on and off for some thirty years,
is again working in good ore, as the can·
tinuation·of the ledge in the surface work·
ings has been developed at depth, and a
mill is to be constructed In the near future.
The Red Ledge, at Scott's Flat. has some
pay are exposed which is over six feet in
width; and, as it is located outside of the
supposed ,bonanza ore zone, the strike means
the development of new territory. The
Tightner has again exposed another ore
shoot. It is Over 200 feet in ,length and
ten feet in width, and the indications are
that there is over 700 feet of virgin ground
,to be explored. There is some $4,000,000
in ore blocked out in the present workings.
The Sixteen to·One has made two rich
shipments and conditions in the Alleghany
district are more promising than ever be·
fore. Among the mines being worked in
that camp might be mentioned the Plum·
bago, the Sierra Wonder, Rainbow and
Rainbow Extension, the White Wings, Bc­
nanza King, Sixteen·to-One, and the Tight·
nero
The big Fraction quartz mine, in th~
Mokelumne district, Is being opened up
due to the exposure of a lead in the tun­
nel which was being run in the perforD'lt.
ance of assessment work. The formatioh
and general characteristics are the same­
as on the Mother Lode properties.
The mines in the Grass Valley and Ne·

When the new fire proof Annex and im­
provements of the Albany hotel, Denver,
are completed, this "hotel will have a total
of 360 rooms, 340 of whic.h will be either
rooms with a private bath or rooms with
a private lavatory and toilet. This Is prac­

with bath that the Denver hotels could
boast of one year ago.
This eXPenditure of money and enlargo­

purpose of accommodating ,everyone who
may wish rooms with private bath or rooms
with private toilet, and upon arriving at
the Albany these days, one will not have

tried by the expenditure of a large sum
of money, to arrange so that those who
wish to have bath accommodations for $1.50
and $2.00 per day can secure the same.
Over 100 of these new bath rooms which
have been installed will be at a tariff of
$1.50 and $2.00 per day, so that anyone
making a trip to Denver and wishing a
room with bath, will not be compelled to
pay the high prices charged by Denver
hotels in the past.
The furnishings which are being placer!.
in the new house, as well as the rooms
with bath in the present hotel, are the

vided with twin beds.
The ground floor of the present Albany
hotel is being entirely remOdelled, allow­
ing an extension of all public rooms in
such a manner as to make them most con­
venient and attractive. New ideas are ~
Ing brought out in the most harmonious
manner in all these improvements. The
main feature of this ground floor Improve·
ment; will be the longpromonade which
will extend the entire length of the build­
ing. The length of this promonade from
the Seventeenth street entrance to the op­
posite side of the building will be, ap·
proximately, 300 feet with ,an average width
of 32 feet. Opening off from this corridor
on the California street side of the build­
Ing, will be the Albany's numerous cafes.
On the Stout street side, will be located
the various small banquet rooms, private
. dining rooms and parlours, while at the ex­
treme Eighteenth street end of the promon·
ade will be the Albany's magnificent Crystal
Ball Room, which will be the finest room
of its kind In the City. When these Im­
provemnts are >completed the Albany will
have in its ground floor arrangement, one
of the most complete hotels for handling
large gatherings of any hotel in the west.

THE UTAH STATE FAIR.
Fifty·six years ago the Utah State Fair
was organized under the name of the Desert
Agricultural and Manufacturing SOCiety, a
pioneer society in a pioneer territory, by a
few patriotic citizens of Utah who appre·
dated the good that could and would be
accompl:shed by such an institutIon. The
surviving members of the parent organiza­
tion have witnessed the realization of theh
brightest antiCipations. Each annual fair
has been a succeeding success, better than
the last, with prospects for greater things
in the future.

JOHN, THE REVELATOR.
A well known local mining man was over
in the Snake Oreek district last week and
visited and inspected the property being
worked under leru3e and bond by Sam Hair,
who is known as John, the Revelator. He
says:
mineral deposits in the Snake Creek min­
ing district is now evidenced by the ore
deposit being worked by Messl's. Hair, et
aI., in John, the Revelator claim. This de­
I
posit was encountered last soo,30n, and at
that time attracted considerable attention,
but the real importance of this find is only
stood in consequence. of the work of ore
extraction having demonstrated that the de·
pooH is on the quartzite-lime contact. This
contact bears allthe ear marks of being
the regular ore-bearing contact. The strike
of same is northeallt, while it dips to the
northwest. This oontact is tracable for
several miles, and e:s:ists throughout the Bo­
nanza Flat and adjacent territory. Its ore
bearing condition will doubtless lm.sten the
developmeIllt of that extensive area of min­
eral ground. Already a carload of high
grade has been extracted from this find
which is now being delivered at the Park
City sampler. Mr. HaJr and associates have
graded about a mile of mountain wagon
road which connects with the Bonanza Flat
road and enables their teams to load lilt
the portal of the adit from which ore is
delivered on the surf'ace. The present ap­
pearance of the deposit is quite attractive
and while the depth attained is less than
200 feet the expooed ore in sight warrants
Mr. Hair in hoping that he will be able to
keep one team or more, steadily employed
in hauling ore until nem January. The
present ore opening would certainly enable
the leasel13 to work several men on each
shift on all ore. 'Dhe ore is of a. high grade
and by many miners is said to resemble the
famous Quincy ore. As progress is made
on the dip of the contact and greater depth
attained the ore increases in quantity, while
the values do not lessen: This find i,> of
greater importance to Park City than we
are at present able to realize; for notwith·
standing the reports of Walter P. Janney,
E. f. Jennings, and others, setting forth the
resistance of the now demonstrated condi.
tions of the Bonanza Flat territory, many
of the men who make mines, were not whol·
ly convinced as to the correctness of th€l3e
eminent experts' deductions; but the pres­
ent revelation In the Revelator renders dis·
bellef in the infalIlbility of this parLicular
section longer Impossible.
