This theory has been confirmed in a itrikfng manner by M. Body. The process which he Is now using In Italy I In reality only the geological synthesis of the formation of alluvia and confirms the theory which attributes the formation of the placers to rolcanlc action. The process Is based, not upon the elimination of sulphur, hut upon Its addition; although this seems In contradiction to the present metallurgical processes the result Is said to be remarkable, and the output of gold obtained In thia way greatly exceeds that which is given by the usual processes. The method Is founded on the which Is obtained by chemically disaggregating the mixture by means of special salts, under the Influence of a temperature which does not exceed a cherry red. The process is of a relatively short duration. The disaggregating action removes the (old from its most stable compounds. At the Piedmont works, where the process is now employed. It costs only $2 or 13 a ton to treat the ore. It should be remarked that the new process Is not an extraction of the gold, properly speaking, but a process of transforming the pyrites, which Is so difficult to treat, into a product which can be worked In the ordinary way. As pyrites exist In great quantities in nature, the new process Is likely to prove of great value. An assayer of Rawlins, Wyo., has made a discovery, or thinks he has, whereby copper can be precipitated by the ordinary drinking water used there. While making an assay of some copper ore a few days ago by the wet process, he poured some Rawlins water Into the fluid. Almost instantly the copper began to precipitate and after watching It for a few minutes he found that every particle of copper had settled in the bottom of the glass. Amazed by the result, but not entirely satisfied, he tried It again and gain, getting precisely the same result every time. He Is now engaged In testing the water to ascertain what properties It contains that act as a Proeipitant When he finds out, we will probably hear from him again. Philip J. Lonergan, manager for James Doyles Mancos mines, believes k can make a material saving by erecting a sulphuric add plant at the mines and thereby not only save the ulphur In the pyrltous ores, but utilise the acid In the extraction of the metals, thus producing them at a mall fraction of J present cost. think he Is mistaken, because an Instigation of the subject of acid manufacture convinces me that It cannot be made profitable on a small rale. But he will try It, perhaps, and ed on gold-beari- K. Rowland, wliu is ih, owner of Colonel J. M. Guffy and J. II. Ual.-y- , in the Guffy-Gale- y oil well ami leases, comprising 16,000 acres of land near Farmington, and on which drilling operations are In progress visited the well Thursday afternoon. When asked by the Deseret News about the general outlook. Mr. Rowland said: When I returned from the east some days ago, I was surprised to hear so many rumors concerning the operations at the Guffy-Gale- y well. I knew that Colonel Guffy was satisfied and I was Informed that Mr. Gnley was equally so. Mr. Rumbnugh and his crew were drawing their pay regularly sind did not seem to be disused to complain. A very little Investigation showed the rumors to have originated with some of our enterprising friends who have never spent a nickel in this oil enterprise, but had spent much time In criticising everything and everybody connected with it, particularly Colonel Guffy, for not coming out here and telling them exactly what he proposed to do, and Mr. Rumbuugh for not letting them get on the Inside. Mr. Rumbaugh has shown good judgment in keeping such persons in the dark. They deserve nothing and are not likely to get anything. It Is true boring was suspended for some days while Mr. Rumbaugh was sinking a water well near the big well, this being necessary owing to the scarcity of water in the Irrigating ditch which had been his source of supply. Now they have an abundance from the new well, which Is connected up and giving perfect satisfaction. Drilling was at once resumed and la now progressing as satisfactorily as an one, except the knockers, could expect The drill is down 1,630 feet, and la In a hard sandstone In place. Mr. Rumbaugh has attached a valve or stop-coc- k, so if a gusher Is suddenly struck he can shut It o(T.

Is heading a movement to secure the permanent headquarters of the congress for Salt Lake. To the Deseret News Mr. Joseph said: W'e certainly must have some kind of an organisation. We want to map out a plan of action ahead of time and not wait until we get to Portland to do it. The delegates must get together now if they are going to do anything; If this cannot be done, why, the best thing to do Is to throw up the sponge and quit and let Denver hare It all its own way at the convention.

PHONE According to the Boise Statesman, former Governor Hunt aaya that It haa been decided that the Werdenhoff road to the Thunder Mountain district shall be built by the Warren route If certain matters In connection therewith can be closed up satisfactory. Bids for the work have been received. but some questions remain to be adjusted which are giving trouble. The people of Weiner and other points have subscribed some $7,000 toward the work. The governor Is expected to go to Welser to close up the various matters upon which actual beginning of work depends. Another road Is to be constructed from the Roosevelt road from Trap creek across the East Fork to the Camp creek group of properties controlled by Mr. Van Riper and associates. The contract for this road will be let by Mr. McKenxle as soon as he goes Into the district.

Alfred H. Brook of the survey found in the placer of Anikorik river and ltuliner ereek. one of it tributaries, some concentrate which proved to contain stream tin. Sim-that time an effort ha heen made to determine the extent and distribution of the stream tin and locate its source hi bed rock. Though the occurrence of lode have been previously reported, the lirst authentic discovery of this kind was made by Mr. Collier during the Kitmmer of 1903. Accompanied a field assistant, he by F. I He visited Teller late in July, and there met a number of prosectors who had been searching for tin In the York district and who were anxious to have their specimens examined, since they were unable to identify tin ore. Among these specimens only one piece of tin ore was found, but It had been obtained In a new locality Hnd consisted of cassiterlte crystals still In the matrix. During the following week. Messrs Collier and Hess visited I,ot River, Buck Creek and Cane mountain and located the tin deposits at those places. The results of their Investigations are embodied In this bulletin, together with in formation derived from a study of siieclmens of tin ores from the York region by outside parties. The geologic results of investigations made by members of the survey will be published in detail at a later date, but brief descriptions of the general and economic geology of the region are Included In this bulletin. Some valuable data concerning the means of transportation In this district and the fuel supply are given. The physical characteristics of tin ore and Its associated minerals tourmaline, garnet, magnetite, fluorite, rutile, wolframite, epldote, and quarts are described, and methoda of assaying tin ore are discussed, among them a method elaborated by Eugene C. Sullivan, chemist of the survey, by means of which minute traces of tin can be detected. A brief description of the better known tin deposits of the world Is Included In the bulletin in the hope that It may be of value to the prospector. The essential purpose of the bulletin ls.indeed.to present such facts In regard to the occurrences and value of the metal as may be of assistance to those who are Interested In the development of the field.
