KAVX MU1MUM CAPACITY or mobb tsa nnnuD tomb DAILY OOWEAOTS MADE MB that amouwt or OM-ino-mmo process raoTM ooos. Blowing In Of Sumpter's smelting Slant is fixed by the management for a at la the near future, the ezaot time for which Is not made public. Charles Klrchen, superintendent of the smelter, was In Portland during the week, . at tending early sessions of the American mining congress, and stated that the purchase of ores was progressing sat isfactorily, and the oontracta entered Into by producers with the smelter man agement assured such quantities that , the furnace would soon be put Into commission. Inauguration of Are reduction at Sumpter has especial Interest to the state. It Is really the first work of this type undertaken In Oregon on a basis of permanency. Following com pletion of the plant, which has a 160-ton furnace and 700-ton sampling mill, mod ern In every respect, a test run was made, proving that the seml-pyrltlc pro cess wss well sdapted, and that the av erage ores of the Sumpter district car ried sufficient sulphur to reduce fuel cost materially. In the test run but one shift wss worked, requiring (Ires to be banked for the night, thus consum ing a larger percentage of ooke In the charge, yet the average consumption of this costly fuel wss very low. It was estimated by the superintendent at that ime that during the day when tapping was constant, coke not to exceed 6 per cent was required, and the copper eon tent ran as low as 1 per cent Being sn Iron and copper matting plant, the smel ter proved sble to save values of the Oregon region with very low metslurgl- cal losses. Manager Fred D . Fuller of the smelt lng snd refining company stated recently thst he did not care to blow In until his ore contracts were for spproxlmsts ly 100 tons dally. Since then he end Superintendent Klrchen have been very busy in all parts of the region triDutary and It is generally understood that their contracts now are close to the minimum figure fixed some time sgo. Economical Milling. Speaking of low cost of milling snd mining ores, snd In Una with the an nouncement of the California delegation that they had a mlns holding the total cost down to 46 cents a ton, one of the delegates from Montana who wss at tending the mining congress said the Big Indian property of that state was min ing and milling for 47 cents. ine av erage ores of this mine are said to carry but 12.60 s ton, from which the man agement is sble to reap a handsome profit Power is furnished by the com pany's own plant, which Is 12 miles distant, the mill has 80 stamps of 860 nounds each, and mining is on the quar rying principle, levels being run under ore. The rock is snoi rown in im mense masses, dumped into pits with chutes In the bottom, snd then trammed to ths mill. The Montana man said that the Big Indian, if not having the record for low mining and milling, was very close to it. QOLO r01C SABTTXAM. (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Salem. Or., Aug. 27. B. P. Taylor, whose home Is at Pomona, California, but who has interests In the Santlam mining district, is in the city on his way home. Mr. Tsylor is a mining man of more than forty years' experience, and has been Interested in the Santlam district for soma time. He has closely lnvestl gsted conditions there, and haa with him samples of placer gold tsken from the middle fork of the Santlam, two or three miles south of Quartsvllle. which show up very well. Mr. Taylor also has samples of quants, some of it very rich. He doas not wish to give re sults of the qusrts ssssy. Tor fear it would be misleading, as there arc bunches snd; seams thst run very high, but they are not average. Mr. Taylof declares it Is his belief thst ths Ssntism district will prove a good producing section. The best ore bodies, he thinks, sre not near the sur face, but thst the heavy mining in that district will be done on ths 1800 level snd below. He says thst the Santlam district Is a shipping proposition, which conclusion he hss reached after many analyses and long experience with the ores of thst section. Concentration first, and then shlpmsnt to the smelters of Tacoma. Everett or San Francisco, is his theory of the future method of handling the product of Santlam mines. TIB FOB WALDO DISTBUCT. Some time in the early part of Sep tember it Is the hope of the Waldo Mining Smelting company to blow In the plant now In process of construction In the Waldo copper district, southern Oregon. Hesvy hauling hss been steady since the company began delivering the large pieces snd building materials. The haul by wagon is about 86 miles, but as the property is resched by fol lowing the basin of the Illinois river, where there is sn excellent highway, little difficulty is sxperlenced in placing the plant upon the sits for ereotlon. The community of prospect owners sdjacent to the property is esger to know If custom ores will be hsndled, snd If so. In whst quantity. Economical reduction of local ores so close to the properties where they are produced would be hailed with delight by all, and ta regarded the most potent stimulant to development In ths oopper distrlot of southern Oregon. VOU AT WTO (Special Dispatch to The JearaaL) Eugsne, Or., Aug. 27. -The manage ment of ths Oriental mine, which prop erty is sltustsd In the Blue river dis trict, make a good report of progress there.

After completing a nine-mile exten sion of the Sumpter Valley railway taking the terminus of that line from Whitney to Tipton, surveying and other preliminary work Indicates that this line is to bs carried well down Into Grant county ths present year. Preal dent David Eccles, who was In the city a portion of the week with the Bait Lake Mining congress delegation, said that surveya had been made down Into the bastn of ths middle fork of the John Day, a distance of ten miles from Tipton, snd that the management was now considering If this fuither exten slon could be .completed before winter. With Tipton ss the southwestern ter minus, the Sumpter valley is in the heart of the Greenhorn district of Baker and Orant counties, snd If s further ten miles is completed this year, will be within easy reach of both the Susan- vllle and Quartiburg mining districts, and cut off about 20 miles of the haul of the entire John Day basin. The lmme dlate effect will stimulate mining in the three districts named, and SOOOUragrS the prospector to go further south on the Blue Mountain mineral sons than he has yet been able to on aocount of long hauls of ore and concentrates. The Sumpter Valley management ssys with much confidence that the ultimate terminus of Its rail line ' will be in Harney county, probably Burns. Very steady work has been done. In extending since the Sumpter Valley first entered the mineral aone of the Blue mountains. That the south fork of the John Day will be tapped within another year Ssams absolutely assured, and the spirit of the management Is taken to In dicate by most people effected that Harney will truly be the terminus in the near future. o EDITOKS Among the men connected with the mining press of this state snd ths west In sttsndsnce st the mining congress were several prominent editors.

TWENTY ST, CO Superintendent L. B. Wlckeraham, of the Granite Hill mine, Josephine coun ty, while smong ths delegstes here dur ing ths present week, stated that ths second battery of stamps was ready for commission. Ten stamps were Installed at the time of erecting the mill, but for s short period but flvs were dropping, owing to the fact thst platea had not been sent of suitable slse. The mill building has a capacity for 20 stamps, and when that number is de sired by the management, no altera tions will have to be msde in the struc ture. Ore for the mill st present Is taken entirely from the Granite Hill shaft, but It will bs but s short time before the Red Jacket will alao be pro ducing, and later ths Ida will be made to contribute Its quota to the mill.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) Seattle, Aug. 17. Joseph Schubert, an engineer in chsrge of the stssm hoist at the famous Msttls mlns about 10 miles from Nome, Is said to have con fessed to being Implicated In looting the riffles of mors than 818.000 at 1 o'clock on the morning of August 17.

The Mattie Is owned by the Wild Goose Mining company and la situated on s side hill overlooking Anvil moun tain, about 10 miles from Nome. Instesd of sluicing ths gravel surfscs ground ths owners of the Msttle sank a shaft 60 feet. As the gravel was hoisted to the surface ground In cars It was dumped In a long sluice box and washed for the gold. Worked Under Ground. The superintendent and men work un der ground while the engineer alone operates the hoist. It had often been remarked that it would be easy for him to raise a car and then It would be al most impossible for the miners to come from below without his assistance. The gold thieves removed the riffles leading to the head of the sluice box Where the larger nuggets are found when ths clean-ups are made. Continued investigation on the part of the officials snd mine owners led to the belief thst some one familiar with the premises was Implicated In the rob bery and suspicion centered on the engi neer.
