The mining industry as a whole has
til ways suffered as a result of ques
tionable me thuds of promotion in a
very Hinall per contuse of mining oper
ations. After every great boom that
picks off most of 'the sucker money,
mining settles back to steady progress
that is a boon to mankind. Then an
other boom comes along, with its
horde of gct-rich-qulek promoters who
prey upon the public and drastic
laws are passed to fit such cases, but
they otten hurt the whulu mining In
dustry. The legitimate oil business Buffers
greatly from misleading- promotion
schemes.
Alining and oil production are two
great western industries which deserve
the encouragement and crtnfidenee jof
the public. If the investor would use
the same judgment in buying securities
of these properties, that he would
in any other business transaction,
there would be few tales of great
losses such ns wo now read of in con
nection with fraudulent mining and
oil promotion deals. Don't Maine
these industries, blame yourselves for
your own carelessness and credulity.

Millard, well known mining men who
operated In the Valdez district, Alaska,
'for 20 years, are carrying n extensive
i development work on the property ot
tho Foots Creek Mining company in
Jackson county. This property is said
to lie free milling and the vein has
been stripped for 4.r0 font on the sur
face and a shaft sunk to a depth of
50 feet. They are now engaged In
driving u long tunnel to tap the vein
at depth. When vein is encountered
in tho tunnel the plans are tu erect

-Metals Kxtraction ami Itirinliig Plant
In Successful 0Kntioii
Tho new plant of the Metals Kxtrac
tion and Kefining company, located at
tho south end of (J. &. O. railway
bridge, Grants Pass, was fully com
pleted last week and placed in opera
tion. This plant has an initial capac
ity of 60 tons of black sands each 24
hours, and it is so equipped that the
capacity can be doubled within 24
hours' time.
.The plant treats the black sands and
tailings from placer mines and recov
ers teh gold and platinum values.
When it is understood that ndners ;
have long known that they wero losing
the greater portion of their values by
same being carried off in the tailings
of black sand, and that heretofore
there has been no known methods of
making the recovery, one wilt realize
that tho new plant, operated under the
Croner process, which is recognized by
tho United States liureaU of Mint's,
will fill a long felt want, and permit
what has always been wnsted in thu
past being utilized.
J. M. Worton of Ogden, Utah, is
president of tho company, A. C. Hunt,
consulting engineer, the other officials j
and members of tho company being
Messrs. Sbepard. Chambers, Patter
son and Mr. Worton'o two sous, Clyde
and Wayne Worton.
On the day of the annual meeting of
the Minium Bureau, Mr. Worton ex
tended a special invitation to tho min
ers and tho public generally to visit
the plant and witness same la actual
operation. The miners accepted and
some L'uo of them spent a very inter
esting and instructive hour in going
through the plant, watching the va
rious operations, and listening to the
explanations given of the process by
the various members of the company.
Tho visit was worth while to all anil
many favorable comments from ex
perienced mining men as to the plant
and the field for its operations were
expressed to bureau officials.
Hems of 4;eticrul Intercut to Miners
liussia, before, the war. produaed
300.000 ounces of platinum annually
from the Tral placer fields.
Platinum consumption in tho United
States Is about 1 fio.000 ounces an
nually of which 40 per cent is used by
the jewelry Industry, 25 per cent for
dentistry, 20 per cent for electrical
work and the remainder in tho chemi
cal industries.

New milling methods have nuido It
possible to operate low grade ores
found In certain sections of the United
States and Canada at a profit. Ten
years ago ores of less value than ?10
a ton was ignored as it was Impossble
to handle it and make a nrnfir Th
best record for handling low grade ores
at small cost comes from a gold mln-
lug company near Juneau, Alaska.
' This company reports mining and mill
Mng gold ore at a cost of 4!) cents a
I ton and expects to reduce tho cost to
40 cents within a year.

Is compelled to go through a period
(whPii it Is considered a "wildcat" and
;a "lemon." This was true of the great

In the early days of Tonopah every;
body laughed at Tom l,oekhard. a
prospector well known to the early
residents of Nevada, when ho staked
hiH claims on what he ealled the ex
tension of the rich Mizpah lode of the
Tonopah Mining company. Working
all by himself, ho Rank a shaft and
'opened up some ore. He succeeded In
getting John McKane, a famous pros
pector of those days, to take an op

to Pittsburg and succeeded in selling
the property to Or. M. It. WMd. a
! rominent physician. Dr. Ward organ.

kane, Washington, with h circulation
over tho northwest, including Canada,
among mining investors, and a fair
circulation In various of tho other
states of the union, the Southwestern
Oregon Mining Bureau will publish an
article of considerable length descrip

Engineering for Service
WITH the twang of a clock
spring, carried over a short
stretch of wire one June day in
1875, came a discovery that was ,
to be of incalculable value to
mankind. On that day the tele
phone was born, and a new
vocation came into being,
the profession of telephone
engineering. ,
Today, 49 years later, a host
of men, successors of Bell and
his single assistant, are applying
their trained abilities to the
complex problems of meeting
the nation's demand for tele
phone service. They explore the
unknown and adapt the known
in Science. They bring the
thoroughness of specialists to the
tasks of construction, operation,
management. Their common
objective is an improved service
whereby man may substitute his
voice for his physical presence
in distant places.
Engineered and not hap
hazard effort has brought the
triumphs that mark advances in
the convenience of the telephone.
Because of this effort. there is
a communion of communities
without which America, as we
know it, could not exist.
