Show INTER-MOUNTAI- the entire district, that there are im- deposits of telluride ore here, which, outside of the Chainman and Joana properties have received no at- tention whatever; but on the contrary have been discarded in the belief that contained no mineral of value. The existance of this character of ore in bodies, carrying in gold from $15 is of sufficient value and import- to warrant a more careful and thorough examination of material before it is thrown aside as valueless. The report has been received that at a depth of ninety feet in the incline of the Starlus in Bingham a red oxide of iron has been encountered which runs well in gold. The Starlus is owned by the Bingham Copper company. Some idea of the magnitude of the operations of the Consolidated Kansas City Smelting and Refiining company may be gained from its annual freight statement, which shows that during last year 23,393 carloads of freight were 4 handled. The company received tons of ore and paid to the railroads freight charges amounting to which recently purchased a controlling interest in the Sheep Rock company and consolidated the two groups, will commence development work of a substantial and permanent nature within a few days. Mr. W. A. Wilson, the well known mining engineer, has gone down to the properties for the purpose of mapping out the work. The new shaft on the Shoebridge Bonanza at Silver City has reached a of thirty feet and at fifty feet a depth cross-cu- t will be driven to the vein. The old dump promises to become a source of considerable revenue to the company. It was sampled and measured a few days ago by J. S.

Values continue from $8 to $16 and show a large body of ore. This, however, is only one of the encouraging strikes in the camp in the last month. We can name the Overland as another, situated near Sunshine, The Overland people have uncovered a fine vein of ore that assays show carries $12 to $17 in gold. This is very encouraging, as it is the first strike made in the Sunshine part of the district in several months. The Golden Gate Extension is another in which values have been obtained that changes the property from a prospect to a mine. The large body of ore they have will soon justify a mill. Big Chlorination Plant. E. R. Holden of Denver has just closed a deal with the United Oil com- pany for twenty acres of land at Florence, on the north side of the river, in thp works! of the present two reduc- on which to erect a chlorition nation plant. The land is admirably situated for the purpose, being on top of a high bluff, reached by the Flor- ence & Cripple Creek railroad, with deep ravines and low lands which can be used for a dump for fifty years. Mr. Holden reDresents New York people, who have plans for the largest chlorination plant in this country, covering five acres of ground and which will have a capacity of 300 tons daily. Holden claims that chlorination effect a new era in handling the clous sold ores of the Rocky mountain region, as the treatment charges will be so low as to enable many low-gramines to work at a pront, which have not been worked heretofore. It is also the purpose of Mr. Holdens company to erect a plant for the lixiviation pro- cess, for the treatment of silver ores, . 777 A remedy for one of the chief obsta- cles to the general use of aluminum, the oxidizing of the surface, has been found by Prof. Gotting, of the Berlin Artillery and Engineering academy, The aluminum is dipped into a diluted solution of certain salts, that are not made public, which turns the surfaceinto a brown substance of great resistpower, resembling Japanese bronze, Experiments are being made to find out whether, with the new treatment, can be used for cooking utensils for the army. Ten men engaged on the rock work of the Ogden Pioneer Dam company have been killed by accidents during the last two months, a record that indicates gross incompetence or The Seals are in the hanging wall.
