known as the Elkhorn mining disi

with poor'' and uncertain moun

Origin - of tho Ores
The principal ; development
work on these mines has been on
a large well defined ore 'bearing;
fissure vein, which fills a fissure;
formed ; by movement alohg a
shearing' sone, and Is paralleled
by an intrusive dike of felspar
porphyry, , which , has ; played an
important 'part I in th6 genesis of
these - ores. ' Some of . the 1 ore
bodies of this, j vein are exposed
by the canyon of Henline creek
at an elevation of abont 3000
feet ' on Henline mountain, and
: - -i
.
v.
are here opened' up? and develop
ed by tunnels and. shafts which
have been driven. Into these- ore
bodleis4 for a distance of, about
400 feet along the vein, and as
deep as shafts could be sunk by
use of hand pumps, and- this dis
closes an ore body .from 4 to 20
feet In width for the entire dis
tance thus explored, and surface
croppings show Ithat ' this ore
bearing fissure vein extends for
over a mile across the mountains
and Jto unknown depths, thus In
dicating the probability of an In
exhaustible body of ore.. .
. Could Produce Now-
The Silver ! Ring mines could
now start production by mining
ores from the r upper V tunnels,
where the ore Is exposed in the
Canon of Henline creek, and pros-,
ect tunnels are driven into the
ore along the vein for'a distance
of about 400 feet.' Bat Jn doing
so they would be. working at a
great disadvantage. In that they
would have to sink shafts in. the
vein from these tunnel levels and
install steam or, power hoists and
powerful pumps to ..handle ; the
water which occurs in this , vein
in large quantities. Pumps -would

have to be. kept in! constant oper
ation or the mine would till with
great" . damage and s' all tores
would have, to be packed hy trail
down 'steep mountains, or about
a half mile of. aerial tramway
erected. This might: satisfy the
desire for 'early production, but
it would be a; very expensive and
unsatisfactory method of mining
these ore bodies, which can eo
easily be drained, and worked
through a main -' working and
drainage tunnel, thus : eliminat
ing all the expensive hoisting and
pumping machinery and cost of
operation, danger of mine flood
ing, packing ore from the "moun
tain, etc " Therefore, the ; direct
ors, of the. Silver King Mining
company, on, the advice of compe
tent mining engineers, decided to
drain . and . wotk . .this mine
through a - tunnel. Tew mines
are' so situated that they can be
easily drained "by tunnel,: but for
tunately the Silver : King 'has this
advantage.. A tunnel about 1000
feet in length Vill tap the big ore
vein ot the Silver King 7 00 feet

the mine and open up the, ore

and to more f fully develop this
ore body ' and provide the : most
economical plan for working the
mine,, a main working and. drain
age cross cut tunnel is now be
ing driven to cut the ' ore bodies
of this vein at a ,' depth:, of . over
700 feet below the upper tunnels.
This .will drain t the ; mine, allow,
extraction through this tunnel
and permit the gravity system of
mining, v the : - most I economical
known, and the delivery of ore
to the mill at the mouth -of the
tunnel . In large quafitltiea at

New Methods Discovered, J,;.,,
Silver-lead-zinc sulphites were
formerly" considejyjd very hard
pres. to. treat, and, under the old
methods used, but a small;, peri
centage at the values were recov
erable but, in recent years, great
discoveries have been made; and
entirely new and scientific meth
ods of ' treating - silver-lead-zinc
sulphides, like those of the Sil
ver King mines, which make a
nearly complete recovery of all
I Tae8 nTe heen tried out and
practical operation.; Tne
flotation method of concentra
tion, and electrolitic leaching ot
the zinc, will probably be the
method of treatment of the Sil
ver, King ores. This will recover
the. zinc as a xinc oxide, and pro
duce a high grade silver-lead con
centrate to be shipped to th
smelten. . "
(Charles Brown, who now has
charge of operations at the mine.
has had over 20 years experience
as a' practical miner. In the gold,
silver, lead and sine mines of the
west. " He now. has a crew ot
Tour men, with power drills, driv
ing the main working and drain
age tunnel forward, to open up
and prepare these pre bodies for
economical extraction and redac
tion on a large scale.' With this
splendid equipment, under the di
rection of competent hands, this

But He Told the Reporter of
the Importance of. Land's
' Proper Use
j i . -i . . .
Knight Pearcy, of Pearcy Bros.,
orchard experts, whose office, is
at 237 State street, Salem, . said
he was too busy to write 'an artic
le Xor this Issue , ; ,
." But he . told the reporter that
too much cannot be said about the
cheapness of the prices pf. land in
the Salem district, and the Impor
tance, of making them more valu
able by the growing of. the proper
crops on theraj the crops In each"
case to which the 'land is adapt
ed. ; ," . ' - .
Beaver dam land.- for Instance,
he said is worth about 1100 r an
acre to raise hay on but It s
worth $1000 an acre to raise cel
ery or onions n; or any one of a
number of other crops.
One man on Laoish ' Meadows
,beaver dam land last year paid
$1400 rent for 20 acres. But he
produced onions which he sold for
$5600; and it was a poor onion
year. He made a good- net prof
it. Mr.; Pearcy says there are op
portunities In every direction drom
Salem to take ' $76 an acre hill
land and convert it into $600 to
$700 an acre land in a few years
with walnuts; ! and thus the land
will grow In value with the years;
all the years, of the future.',
The, same, may- be said '. pf the
bottom lands tor filberts. ' They
will .grow , commercial crops, a lit-
tie earlier and they will also last
"forever," or near enough to It to
keep any living man from worry
ing: or his children ot children's
children. ;-; ;- ; .j - ' ; ; r ; .
The same may be said of near
ly " any fruit t which, we grow a
long list, of them, from prunes to
strawberries.;: ;- ,;.' .
The important thins is to put
each, acre to its proper use.
A man down by ! the Kaiser
school house, last year, made an
enormous profit on a lettuce crop,
on a piece of land that had been
considered worthless.; it was
thought to be" too wet for any
crop. He struck a ' young gold
mine with lettuce.

Superior Shingle Stain ; -
The beauty of a shingled house lies in the soft homeliness of the
rough-sawed surface. To keep this, the shingles must be stained, cot
painted. They must be fed with a coat bf penetrating protective
stain. This is where Superior Shingle Stain will prove its worth to
you. It is made from chemically pure greens and genuine English
oxides, finely ground in pure linseed oil to which is added creosote
and preservative oils. I Jsed over shingles or rough-sawed lumber, it
produces rich color effects withouthiding the grain of the Wood.
Whether you are planning to estain the old shingles,on house or
roof, or to stain the new, insist on having Superior Shingle Stain. Ask
for a color card showing; the various colors applied on real wood. .
