The new mineral was discovered in a glacial deposit, about 100 miles north of Fairbanks, by Frank Gillespite, a miner of Richardson, Alaska, for whom the material has been named. It has a striking red color and a mica-likstructure. Chemical tests show it is a silicate of ferrous iron and barium. It is said that there does not appear to be any group of minerals to which gillespite is closely related. What commercial value, if any, gillespite has cannot be determined until further examination. The extent of the deposit has not yet been fully ascertained. e PROPOSED MINING LAW FOUND OBJECTIONABLE In pointing out the objectionable features of the bill now before congress for the revision of the mining laws, the special committee appointed by Columbia section, American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical engineers, had this pointed comment to make regarding the general tendency of the been built from the main workings of the Chief to the Grand Central shaft house, and it, is generally understood that with ample air for a larger bat- tery of machine drills a more extensive development .campaign will soon be under way at the Grand Central. A couple more rounds will take the Zuma companys shaft to its objective point,, the 1300 level, and then drifting will be the next thing in order, although some time will be lost in cutting a station. Manager Fennell and other officers of the company are of the opinion that sufficient depth has now been attained and that a campaign of prospecting on the 1300 level will result in the opening of a new ore deposit. During the wreck the Tintic Milling company of Silver City shipped another consignment of silver bullion to the mint. Figures showing the quantity of bullion and its value are not available at this time. Supt. Theodore P. Holt states that the mill is doing satisfactory work, but the cold wreather always means a slowing down of operations, the ore quite often requiring thawing before it can be removed from the railroad cars.

Senator Stanfield of Oregon last Week introduced a bill waiving the requirement of assessment work on mining claims during the two years beginning July 1, next. The last exemption law passed by congress will expire June 30 next, and Senator Stanfield has many advices from the west to the effect that miners are less able to perform assessment work than they have been since the start of the war.

Throughout the past week the new compressor has been in operation at the Grand Central property of the Chief Cons, company. One of the first things which the Chief people did, following the purchase of the Grand Central, was to order and install a new compressor. This compressor is electrically driven, a power line having Tuesday of last week the big crusher at the new King mill wras put in commission, and the wheels of the en- tire plant are turning. Of course it will take a little time to make adjustments here and there, but this month will see the big and model plant in perfect operation and a heavy tonage of concentrates being produced. Big things aro planned for the Queen Esther group of claims, over in Deer valley. All the old stockholders have signed over their stock for the purpose of reorganizing a new company. General Manager Solon Spiro, of the Silver King Consolidated Mining company is now interested with Frank J. Hanson and the other heavy stockholders of the Queen Esther. In the new organization the par value of the stock will be $5 per share, instead of 10 cents per share, as it is now. As soon as the new incorporation is complete, the property will be equip- ped with all necessary machinery to sink the shaft to the contact, which is estimated from 800 to 1,000 feet deep. There will be at least $150,000 expended for machinery and in sinking to the contact. Park Record. The Park Utah Mining company people are now building a mile of good road from the mine to the county road at Fishers ranch and have already spent considerable amount for ore bins, platforms, etc., which indicates their intention of sending the ore this way for some time to come, at least. Besides this, the Glenallen mine expects to resume operations soon and begin shipping ore, and there are also several other companies that have announced beginning of operations at once. rr On Wednesday, March 1st, a meeting of the beard of directors of the Sphinx Mining company wras held at the New Park Hotel, Park City, and the following officers were elected: Guy It. McKay, president and general manager; P. II. Hunt; vice president; Sherman Fargo, treasurer; D. C. McKay, secretary. These, with A. K. Hogeman, formerly foreman of the Daly West mine, constitute the board of directors. The new company is planning a campaign of development of property located in the eastern section of the Park City district. This property con- sists of two full mining claims and forty acres of school land belonging to the state, which is held under the. lease. It lies for 3,000 feet along the apex of the Cottonwood Fault, one of the master faults of the district, and a fissure very similar in extent and parallel to the one now being worked in the Park Utah mine. .
