There has heeu brought forward no rea-oa rea-oa to the contrary. Men whose lives have been passed in inlnlnsr settlements have jrone to Deep Creek doubting Us resources and returned enthusiasts in Ha favor. On of the men who has an abiding faith In Deep Creek is Colonel Cieorge A. Henry, well-known newspaper man and mining operator. Colonel Heury has spent eighteen months in this district. He has been all over it iu the capacity or newspaper correspondent corre-spondent and locator. To a Times reporter Colonel Henry last night said: "Taking Deep Creek country as a whole, commencing with Dugway and extending from there to Fish Springs, thence to Clifton, Clif-ton, Willow Springs, Spring Creek, Muncil, Eagle, Glencoe ana other districts, from my observations and personal investigation for tbe past eighteen mouths, the mineral zone xtends far into the eastern Uno of Nevada nd still farther into Utah.

What the general public and especially those who are interested in minerals should first do should bt to make a personal visit over the country described. The history of the several districts which Includes the new strikes and records made within the past six month will convince ny miner, whether h be from Colorado, California or any other mineral-bearing tate or territory, as to whether thtM has been any new discoveries made there. They will find them by the huudreds. "Tbe establishment of the soli mill at Gold Hill, In the CHfton district, has been working advantageously from tbe first day of it starting until the present time, showing show-ing results far beyond tbe anticipations of the proprietor themelve. Free milling ore can be worked, aa stated by tbe parties interested, at from $1,25 to $2.00 per ton. Three stamps have been running continuously continu-ously for the past four weeks. sAMri.ES or BULUOS ent to this city already hare made a record, as can easily be ascertained by those- interested. inter-ested. "The development work in all the mining ramps wlnthln these districts is bciue more vigorously prosecuted than at any time heretofore within the past tweuty years. This state of affair has been brought about by a feeling on the part of the miners of the districts named that within twelve months from the present date they will enjoy and reap tbe reward of railroad communication.

This valley has a width rang- j ing from eight to tweuty miles with spurs exteuding into other agricultural belts of loss proportion, but as a whole will support an agricultural population of from 50,000 to 75,000 w ithin the date of the arrival of a railroad into that section. 8o far as cereal products .as concerned Tub Times a year ago gave a statistical report of what the effort of the few farmers in that section of the country were then enabled to do; and right here by way of parenthesis, let me say that with the surplusage then raised they have been enabled to supply the frrcat influx of population from then to the present time.

RecoTerint; Gold from Solutions. There are many complaints from people who have been working or experimenting with the MacArtbur-Forrest cyanide process that they are unable to obtain tbe result expected, and that tby are unable to obtain ob-tain a satisfactory explanation for the failure. fail-ure. There seems to be no difficulty in getting: get-ting: the gold into solution, but there is a good deal of difficulty in getting it out. The zinc shavings, used by the MscArthur-For-' rest people for precipitating the gold, do not appear to accomplish their object as well as they ought. One man finds gold precipitating wherever the solution flows. : Another And that the gold in the. original ore ha been all practically dissolved out, and the tailings show little trace, but he does not get tbe gold from the solution and doe not know where it ha gone. It is the duty of the chemist of the work to find this out, and if he cannot; then he is a poor chemist and should quit "cyanlding" and go to sawing wood. It must be there somewhere some-where aud ought to be found, says an exchange. ex-change. But it is exasperating to the mine-owner to find his gold taken from tbe ore by -"chemical" used for tha purpose, and then not bo able to find where it has gone. If it 11 goes into a solution from which only half j can be recovered, why the process can hard- ly De considered a complete success. At any ; rate, tbe precipitating substance is not, aud omtthlng better will have to be devised before be-fore the system become what It is claimed to be. Some of the men using the process find a mysterious white powder precipitated, the nature of which is rather a conundrum and houid be investigated by some competent person, as, if it is auriferous, it may account j for a part at least of the loss, perhaps being washed away by water when tbe gold is col- i 'lected from the boxes, or carried, suspended 1 in the solution, to the storage, tank, etc. Shipment of Or.
