From the Deseret New e. Stockton has been the scene of important mining operations during the year. The driving of the Ilonerine drain tunnel la a notable achievement and history will record la as the beginning of a new era in the camp'a existence. In the past too much water haa been a diaturbing element and has been the means of retarding the development and growth of the district. Although many attempts were made to operate below the water level of the camp, they ail proved failures, the cost in moat cases being too great. The Honerlne Mines company went to big expense in the installation of powerful pumps and made fair progress, but. while it was freeing its own properties it was also unwatering its neighbor's mines and the latter bore no portion of the exThe Honerlne company had pense. been pumping at the rate of about 1000 gallons per minute and continued in operation long enough to determine that the sulphide ore bodies below were worth going after. WOULD NOT JOIN IN. were preThe other vailed upon to Join in the pumping operations, but none seemed willing to do this. The result was the Honerlne plant was closed down, the pumps withdrawn and for a time it looked as If the camp would remain indefinitely dead. TUNNEL SCHEME DEVISED. But shortly after the just about a year ago, the Ilonerine tunnel scheme was devised. In this enterprise the appeared to agree and the managers of the principal properties Joined in the organisation of the Honerlne Tunnel company. Sufficient funds were raised to guarantee the sue cess of the enterprise, and the great work was begun during the present year. When completed the tunnel will be about 8000 feet in length, and will penetrate many of the ledges which have yielded so generously above the water line. A little over 6000 feet of the tunnel has been run and it has already drained many of the workings which were filled with water a few weeks ago, RESERVOIR TAPPED. A great porphyry formation seemed to lock the water within the mineral zone, thus apparently forming a great Teservoir. When the tunnel cut through this porphyry a few weeks ago the reservoir was tapped and the water sought an outlet through the tunnel in torrents; for days the stream was running at tbs rate of from 3000 to 6000 gallons, per minute. With this event the success of the tunnel was asmred and preparations were begun to resume operations in some of the mines that had been idle. WAS IN GOOD HANDS. The work of driving the great tunnel has been in competent hands; under 'the auperintendency of E. J. Raddatx, while the general supervision has been directed by Willlard F. Snyder, general manager of the Western Exploration company, an organisation closely allied to the tunnel company and the Honerlne mine. The undertaking was a stupendous and expensive one. The tunnel has cost about a quarter of a million dollars. BIG REDUCTION WORKS. In the meantime preparations went ahead for the building of a great reduction works at the mouth of the tunnel, near the old station of Terminus. TOWN OF BUHL. Here also the townsite of Buhl was laid out, and it is likely to become one of the most important stations on the main line of the San Pedro. Los Angeles Sc .Salt Lake railroad. The Honerlne company has now under construction a concentrating mill of 500 tons1 capacity. which will go into commission early in the coming year. The ores will come through the tunnel, which will serve as the avenue of exit for the mines along its pathway. The plant will probably be increased to several thousands of tons dally capacity when the development of the properties through the tunnel progresses further. WAITED FOR TUNNEL. Stockton, pending the construction and completion of the big bore, has been quiet; few properties have been in operation. At the Stockton mine, however, development work has been pushed ahead, and some large bodies of milling ores have been opened. The product will probably be treated at the new mill at the mouth of the tunnel until the time comes for the company to provide its own facilities. The Honerlne tunnel is of almost Incalculable benefit to the camp of Stock-toand It means the development of the district upon the broad scale of Bingham. Park City and other places. It means that the tonnages to he handled next year will surimss previous records from Stockton; that not only silver and lead,, but copper will play an Important part In the production.

At the coming camp of Stockton, a property that gives every indication of ready money is that owned by the Cyclone Mining company. This company Is of recent formation and Is officered by A. J. Hetties of the Newhouse staff of experts, who Is president and manager; H. T. Sapplngton, C. B. Jnrk. secretary and treasurer, and 8. W. West and F. W. Muehlen-brucdirectors. This gound occupies a fortunate position, being rut at one corner by the great Honerlne tunnel and extending eastward a distance of 2300 feet on the strike of the vein, which shows continuous mineralisation and from which vein the Galena King property.

NO. by George Moore, whose genius has been divided between the lalwratory and the side of his profession for a lifetime, and whose process lias been tried out with the most gratifying results, was appealed to and with this now installed the prodigious plant is again In full operation, with the thief being rapidly overcome. Of the means employed by Mr. Moore to accomplish this the gentleman himself has written. advantages of the system are: First, a saving of from 4ii to 6U cents Ier ton In labor; second, a saving of a like amount In extraction; third, a saving, of over 5o per cent In the cost of Installation.' The saving an extraction Is due to the feet that, while the filter ia in the slimes tank, and the suction in operation an equalising action is taking pluce, rendering ail parts of the cake of equal resistance to the flow- of solution and wash water, so that, when pluced in the washing tanka, a perfect displacement of solution is accomplished. For example, we might consider that It would be possible fur one spot on the e 2880 square feet of to have more of the coarser slimes, or fine sand, than the other purls, then tin re would be less resistance to the tlow at this point; therefore, the flow would be brought up. and would rover this point more 'rapidly than the other parts, until, by this Increased coating, the resistance to the flow would become the same hm at all other points. This equalizing influcnca is, in fact, so continuously in (qteratloti that. at no instance Is there nny less resistance to the Mow at one I mint than at all point. Thus, when lifted out from the sllinta compartment, the entire basket of filters Is in entuii-linfor washing, and, in practice, we extract all of the soluble gold. SAVING FROM THE BANDS. ' At the Consolidated Mercur mill all of the ore Is first ssed through revolving cylinders, where the slimes are washed from the sands. By this oieratlon the benefit of the sands, as shown, In the extraction fully equuls the benefit to the slimes; for. consisting only of the coarse granular particles, perrolution Is carried on rapidly, while bitter displacements and washings are accomplish. The tailings from both the sands and the slimes aasay from 40 to 45 cents, a saving of. 80 cents per ton over the old system. This, on 1000 tons per day, is a heavy Item. Each filter handles about seventy-fiv- e tons ier day, and one man operates the four filters, so the cost of labor is about 3 cent per ton. With this plant now In successful operation the of Consolidated Mercur with the winWM - slline-c-ak- n eai-nlng- valuable for mineral than for agricultural purposes, will be received and noted for report to the General Land office at Washington, D.
