The Golden King company, whose property is located in Elmore county, Ida., has completed the preliminary surveys for its electric power plant and cyanide mill. The power plant will be located on the Boise river, less than a mile from the mine. Manager Reber is expected to arrive in the city within a few days. Three more members of the Colorado Mining Stock Exchange, at Denver, have been expelled for jobbing the other brokers by giving a fictitious value to certain stock. If all stock exchanges were to expel every broker who attempted to establish fictitious values, there would be a great many pits to let. D. C. Corbin has been given an option on the War Eagle mine, in Trail Creek, for $800,000, to be paid in six equal payments. The purchasers also agree to erect a $100,000 smelter and expend $100,000 on other improvements, and the present owners are to receive one-fift- h of the stock in a new company that is to be organized. Gen. W. H. Penrose, retired, has turned his attention to mining to great profit. He is a heavy holder of Gold Dust stock, which has greatly appreciated in value since the recent strike, and is also Interested in other valuable mining propositions. There may not be so much money in mining as in soldiering, but there is more profit. The Niagara leaching plant, at Bingham, which is now ready to commence operations, will use the Kendall cyanide process. This is a combination of cyanide of potassium and peroxide of sodium and overcomes certain properties contained in the water at Bingham that cannot be handled by the process. The DeLamar mine and mill, at DeLamar, Ida., are still closed down by the miners strike. The management has made no announcement of its intentions, but it is believed that it will hold out against the demands of the men. An attempt to organize a miners' union at Silver City and bring about a Mac-Arthur-Forr- est sympathetic strike resulted in failure. A chunk of iron, coated with gold, was worked off on a banking firm at Idaho Falls, Ida., last week, by a swindler who represented that it was the result of a clean-u- p on his placer claim. The bank advanced a sum of money, sent the amalgam to the Government assay office at Boise, and learned that it had been bunkoed. Thi incident indicates that there is still left to the brass brick man a field for profitable operations. Some extensive manganese deposits are to be developed near Monroe, Se- vier county, analyses showing the presence of 18 to 39 per cent manganese and 7 to 62 per cent silica. The Carnegie Steel company and the Illinois Steel company are negotiating for the output, manganese ore being of considerable value in the manufacture of steel. It is found in Colorado in large quantities and the product is shipped to various Eastern plants, but the demand is greater than the supply. As evidence of the faith that is placed In the proposed Deep Creek railroad, it is only necessary to mention the project of Mr. G. D. Haven to equip the Queen of Sheba mine with a plant to reduce the ores. Two Crawford mills were shipped to the mine Pelton during the week; a six-fowheel to raise the water from Fifteen-Mil- e creek, and a sawmill have been ordered from a local firm. It is the inot tention to construct a pipe-lin- e from the top of Ibapah mountain to the mine. The California State Mining Journal expresses some doubts as to the value of the recent strike in the Brunswick lode, and states that all the ore taken out at this time has been conveyed upon wheelbarrows through a narrow drift.
