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.

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.

Superintendent L. B. Wlckeraham, of

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

(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. Advices
were received in Seattle sn the steam
ship Victoria- Three men, one a cook at
the camp are ssld to have been con
nected with the robbery and have been
placed under arrest by United States
deputy mars halls snd confined in the
Jail st Nome.
Admits Oullt.
Schubert first asserted that he was
knocked down with a ssndbag. Later
evidence was secured that connected htm
with the robbery and when he was ar
rested he admitted his guilt and Impli
cated the others according to reports.
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.
