May 21, The new compressor at the Tintic Standard, one of the largest In the state, has been in commission about a week and Is doing excellent work. Reports from th East Tintic bonanza Indicate that both surface and underground operations are being carried along In a most satisfactory manner. A new system of stops filling which has been In use for the past few months undoubtedly is the most approved manner of mining for this property. While the Tintic Standard is not shipping very heavily to the smelters, the companys mill is demanding a tonnage of about 180 tona of ore dally, and the operations at the big mine were never handled in such an orderly and systematic manner. Under the new system of mining, more attention Is being paid to development work and within the next thirty o sixty davs. If conditions justify It, the standard will be In position to mine and ship Mining Done Carefully. a much heavier tonnage of oth classes Once the prospector finds an outcrop of of ore for the mill and the smelters.

Originally, hundreds of thousands of years ago. the tree had fallen In a position which is crossways of the stream of today. Later this tree had been replaced with ore and became a carnotite tree, with the roots lying on one side of the gulch and the upper branches n the other. The tree was about eighty feet long, and during the thousands of years of subsequent erosion the trunk portion had been entirely carried awav, leaving only the roots and brahrhes of the "tree Recently these parts had been mined, and the cavity showed the tree was about four feet in diameter at the base From the roots and branches $90no worth of ore was recovered, but the. great body of the trunk, more-th-an sixty feet In length, went down stream through erosion processes, and our- - miners came several thousand vsars too late to recover that valuable deposit. Some of the ore has become very hard, and It often is the case that the yellow and black colors of the ore are merely surface discoloration, and do not permeate deep into the ore. It Is thus possible for the inexperienced miner to have ch a large pile of seemingly good Is worthless. Therefore the miner breaks his ore into piece half the sire of a man's fist, and often it Is broken to walnut size, to make certain that the ore Is wholly mineralised hr .the vanadium and uranium oxides. The ore Is then sacked in canvas bags, which contain about 190 pounds of ore each, and these sacks are piled In cordwood fasbon along the coeds where the motor trucks nuv pick them up and complete the haul to the railroad. Rueh ore piles are the characteristic sight on the stage line routes of the carnotite dBtrlct. .07 .02 H .03 .10 tors? ck , ' .91 .0vV Independence ,- . Louise MiningMontana.

The ores were found by the Indians and used for their decorative art many years ago. The bright yellow of the uranium ores they used for face Oalnt, to stain their buckskin garments and to color their trappings for the warpath and the religious dances. This uranium color Is as brightly yellow as sulphur, and both the yellow from uranium and the black from vanadium are soft enough to make It easy to work them into crayons. t Therefore, In addition to using these ores for personal adornment, the Indian also employed them in their picture painting On many of the cliffs In the southwest the paintings have been tested for these minerals and the search in many districts for the source of these ore has been stimulated by finding them t in the paintings, In his search for the ore, the prospector begins by hunting tn the walls of the canyons for outcropping indications of the ore. The outcrop may be In color, which indicates the presence of vanadium, or it may show ths yellow color of uranium, dirtied by to the weather. 'The miners become very adept in this work.
