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.

cider, etc., go to "HturglU's."
