XI Wednesday, June mi, 1902 THE SUMPTER MINER :-i RICH SHOOT IN CRACKER-OREGON A. L. McEwcn Shows it to the New Owners. found thai thrown up in eastern Dr. Moulton,of Minneapolis, treasurer of the Turungain Arm Miuiuttconipauy, which owns unit olenites the California, arrived in Sumpter several days nince and will remain hero a month. Satur day he nml Everett Urown, tliolocal rep resentative of that company ami a I ho of theOregon Development company, which is developing the Cracker-Oregon, an extended notice of which appeared in Tiik Mix Kit last week, accompanied hy A. I.. McKwen, the eminent mining en gineer, went out to the last nameil mine to look over the property. Meow. Urown and McKwen preceded Superintendent Cahle in elimbiiiji the mountain to inspect the old workings. While making thin tediotiH trip Mr. Mc Kwen told Mr. Urown thiH interesting tory : Several years since when Harrison fi llurchard, two young KiigliHlnnan, plungers in (lie mining world, were operating here, ho wan interested witli them in a bond on the mine. In the fluid they found a rich pay streak and nil three were sure their fortunes were made. Mr. McKwen was sent to Mexico hy the syndicate which lie represents, and when lie returned he Harrison & lUirehard had I'vcrvtliing they controlled Oregon and gone to South Africa. The liond on the Cracker-Oregon had ex pired and the owners would not renew it for any reasonable price. When Messrs. Brown and McKwen reached the shaft, the latter was willing to reveal the rich ore shoot, but thought it dangerous to descend as the tim bers were rotten and a en vein at any time probable; but the former was in terested and game, insisted on making the search then and there. A pick was fecitred and the two climbed down the nhaky ladder. Mr. McKwen cleared away the debris and showed up near the bottom of the SO-foot shaft a streak of ore fifteen inches wide entirely differ ent in appearance from that on either tide. He stated that the lowest assay he had ever gotten was (127. Kverett Urown took hold of the pick and knocked down about fifty Hunds, which was brought to town. A. I.. McKwen offered to but a bottle of wine that a piece of the rock assaying lesx than $100 in gold could not Iks picked out of the lot. G. K. ICulit made an as tay of an average sample, and Mr. Mc Kwen didn't have to buy the large cold itxHUe which Mr. Urown was erfcctly willing to do. Sunday.!. V. Wood, of Pittsburg, ar rived in Sumpter to examine this prop erty for a syndicate, that is negotiating to buy u large block of the company's ftock. lie was taken to the mine Mon day by Dr. Moultnn and was, of course, very favorably impressed with the property. New Cyanide Precipitation Tank. Chemist Sawyer, of the Horseshoe company, of Lead, S. D., has designed and put into use at the company's mill what is conceded by cyanide experts who have seen it to be one of the best precipitation tanks in existence. The contrivance consists of a steel tank live feet in diameter and two feet deep at the edges, sloping to a depth of two feet four inches at the center, where a three inch pipe is connected to convey the gold slimes to the acid tank. Four of these tanks are used, two for strong and two for weak solutions, and are supplement ed by eight zinc precipitation tubs, four mi each solution system. The advant ages of the precipitation tanks are ap parent nt once to the practical cyanide man. The carrying of the slimes about the room in tubs and buckets, accom panied by the usual consequent loss, is done away with, except in the case of the lower tubs, or half-barrels, where, of course, but little value is saved, the bulk of the gold, in fact nearly seven-eighths of the value of the solution, being pre cipitated in the two tanks. The sloping bottom, connecting with a three-inch pipe, forms an easy egress for the slimes, which are thence conveyed by gravity to the acid tank. After a treatment with dilute sulphuric acid the residue is con veyed to a .lohnsou filter press, is then dried and smelted. The entire system of precipitating and cleaning up as prac ticed at the Horseshoe mill is very prac tical and concise and upcals at once to the cyanide expert, for its convenience and economy. Call.
