TENDERFOOT'S ESSAY
ON A STAMP MILL
Tho following, taken from tho
prospectus of au eastern company,
operating in Thunder Mountain dis
trict, between every lino of which is
written "fake, ignorance and fraud,"
Is amusing reading to those who
know auythlug about mlulng and
stamp mills:

stamps varies with the character of
the ore from two to eight tow

Mountain to work on the maximum
number of eight tons per day, a ten
stamp mill will crush nbout eighty
tous of ore in every twenty-four
hours, which is 11 miner's day.
Hut something more goes to tho
saving of gold than tho mere crush
ing of tho ore by tho stamps. Tho
fact that quicksilver attracts and
separates the particles of gold from
the waste matter plays an important
part in tho process of milliug. Armed
with a largo spoon a man stands by
tho mutters to ladle in a spoonful of
"itiick" (as the miners term quick-
sllvoi), as often as the oro requires
it.
