Show EHEED TELLS OF ElfELS 111 ; Robert A Kinzie Predicts Big Future for California Copper Properties. Consolidation of Two Mills Expected to Greatly Re duce Expenses, B-obert A E:n:ie, cse cf t!9 best kBiwn minis j eajinters of America, ae-cor-iinj to tie San Piaaciseo Examiner, who for manv years superintended the v&st mining operations of tse Tread-well Tread-well Mines company cn Douglas island, Alaska, returned to this city yesterday, after having spent, two strenuous months in bringing fee mines of the ingels Copper company to a high level of production. pro-duction. He has acted in close co-operation with I. E. Paztoa, general manager man-ager cf the company. Kinzie. who is in "direct charse of ail operations at the n;els properties, expects ex-pects within the next few months to make these two mines, the. Zngels and the Superior, one cf the big low-cost corper producers of this countrv. este'riay he frankiv told in detail of the wonderful ore "bodies of these mines, which have befn proved at derth, as wei as of the various improvements which, combined, will assure a vt.rv hi2h recovery and a very low operating cost. In discussing the Ensels mine he aid ha- the propertv looks far better than it did several months ago. and that there is -more ore developed' and in process cf development, than at any time in the history of inis rich California mine. To Cut Down Expenses. As an effect of the consolidation of the two mills, which is m process of arrangement, and will be completed in a few montis, the operating expenses, Kin lie taid. will be material" re'duce-i. He continued: U ben these plans have been carried out in their entirety, the operating ex-renses ex-renses will be reduced more than one- " The new ore developments, secured bv the work cf the last three- months, show almost entirely sulphide ores, which, by the use of'the Minerals $ep-arsticn $ep-arsticn cortpany "s flotation process, will bring the reco ery of copper to a v.-v much higher percentage tcan ccuid be secured beiore when mixed ores, consisting con-sisting of suit-bides and carbot-ates, were treated. "I can say. w-itheut hesitation, that our sulphide ore. under good mill practice, prac-tice, should yield a recovery of 9-j to '5 ror cent." Continuity Demonstrated. The most remarkable achievement accomplished by Kiozie since he wap piaced in control of the operations -at the mires was secured by diamond-drilling. This drilling cn the nge!s property prop-erty has served to demonstrate the con-sistipg con-sistipg of bormte and chalcopynte. to a depth of coo feet below the' lowest present working level. jh'ls diamond drilling, so Kin.tie said, had practically proven the ore at a depth of more than I'X'-j feet below the surra :e. Eorially important, in this eminent engineer's iuegment. has teen the prov. ing of th lateral extensions of the ore bodies of the Er.geis mine. ''Vork carried out uncer bis persona! supervision h.-.s demonstrated the existence ex-istence of large boiie of high-gral? copper stilrhid:s in territory v. here it was not lno''1. rj before that any ore bodies bod-ies eited. V" said : "I drem this discovery of paramount importance fully as important. I may say. as the demonstration of the continuity con-tinuity of the ore bodies at depth." Builds Aerial Trari.
