Dubois Enterprise: The old Nicolia mining camp, which has lain comparatively idle for the past seven years, will make quite a respectable showing this year in the output of ore. The original Viola mine, owing to its being in litigation, will probably remain idle, but there are other mines in that vicinity which have produced sufficient ore during the past winter to justify the letting of contracts to. freight the output to Dubois, where it will be level of Daly No. 2, conthe with level of Ontathe necting rio No. 3, was finished this week.

Mojave County Miner: The mines of Chemehuevis mountains are looming up as the great gold producers of the county.

There are eleven men running dry washers within eleven miles of Franconia, and are all making good money. The quartz veins are showing up wrell, too, and it will be but a short time until we hear of rich strikes in the placer regions on the north side of the mountains. Mojave county continues to attract mining men to our rich deposits of gold, silver and lead, and many are passing into the hands ofproperties Eastern syndicates.

Blumenergs new process of manufacturing chlorate of potash from the chlorine by electrical action is about to be put into practical operation upon a large scale by a recently organized Chemical Construction company, which will begin in July to manufacture chlorate of potash by Blumenbergs process at Niagara Falls, N. Y. The company will use immediately electricity from the famous tunnel amounting to power daily, and is under contract to take at the end of a year power. The immediate output of the factory will be one ton of chlorate of potash daily. The company is building twro structures. The electrical current will be Introduced into the smaller building by means of copper bars four inches square, and there, by rotary transformers, will be converted from an alternating to a direct current. Thus transformed it Will be carried to the second story of the larger building and introduced into tanks containing a solution of chloride of potash in water. The solution will be thus electrolized, and, as a consequence, oxidized Into the desired chlorate, with important The chlorate will be run into tanks on the first floor, crystallized and packed for shipment. The electric current will be used at a low voltage. The chloride is now obtained from Germany, and is worth $25 to $30 a ton. It is expected, however, that deposits of the chemical will be worked in this country. 500-hor- se 2500-hor- se by-produ- cts. Go to Harris & Wilson For Fire, Life and Accident insurance.
