A Record Breaker in Cinabar Mines, Our Great Health Kesorl. THE BLACK BUTTE QUICKSILVEB MINE AND THE DENNIS FURNACE.

In the new l'etmis furnace, a perfect roast of the ore and nomplete volatil ization of all values ij sveured in tbo r.-markal. ly short time of four hours. The cubical volume of the ore r.one of a 4o ton Scott-Huttiu-r furnace, interior dimensions, is -i'u4 feet. A Denni fur nace with an ore tower having an in terior cubic volume of 3'.hit fot, would , give a capacity of 'J 40 tona per day. it ; a ratio of six: to one as compared with , the oid types of furnace. The secret of this large capacity is partly duo to gas firing, and partly to the method of applying the fuel gav to the ore, by which speedy absorption of i he heat utiitj i -i accomplished, aril a perfect desulphurizing- and calcining obtained.

A YEAB OF HARD WORK TOR THE SECURITIES COMPANY. I The Oregon Securities Company at the end of its year's work feels a just pride in the work accomplished, and trusts that in another year it will have a etill greater showing. Foremost mocg the large mines of the Uohemia district, not alone for its large hold ings, but because of the great amount of development work done, and the records of work done in past year, stand the Oregon Securities Company, a cor poration owning the Helena group of claims, the Mnsick group and lie Champion and limadway group, which 202 Pounds of Yellow Metal. opi rated only for tight months in tin yi ar on account of the heavy snows, which could only be obviated by ex pensive show shod, which the company doe not feel juMified in building, nor will there be any call for these ores, as the mill can be run to capacity on the ores already developed in the Champion, which is the present sourie of supply, and which has been paid largely for the vcrk done on th'-m. While a grade for a surface tramway has been constructed part way to the Helena, the further construction and I 1 1 1 1 i .111 lit of Sllch a line will del.elol entirely upon the future nee, large territory opined up Urn. fi..iu tin- simii ova f ace, and w h ile pr.o t iealy ore has b' i n tn at.

An electric tramway has been on structed from the Musick Mine to an upraise, from the main tunnel of the Champion, a disrtanco of one and u quarter niilett, for the purpose of econo mically transporting the ores of the Kusick mine by tramway to tho mouth of the upraise, and thence down the tunnel mid surface cable tram to the mill for treatment.
