business matters concluding with the following regarding the star of utah of which the gentleman Is president and general manager mr fisher writes me that star of utah Is looking mighty good three nice ore bodies thir thirty y to eighty feet long have already been cut with widths two to four feet just now and for the last 80 or fe feet et the face has consisted of 0 three to tour four leet feet of at vela vein matter that shot full of lead with some iron and zinc we are expecting our fourth body any day alot A lot ot of people want to know why we do not start to ship shipping it if we leave ore well the reason Is that we dont believe the ore bodies we have thus tar far encountered will produce more than a lew few hundred tons tong although they might get bigger with stalling of ore and we want to get into some pretty large ore bodies before we start to ship simply because when we start stan to ship we want to ship regularly for an indefinite ta to 1 continue time we dont want to start and dig the mine oil out t la in a few weeks or a few months and thus paralyze the market on star of utah we want vant at least fifteen or twenty good showings ol of ore in different places before we start we wa have enough money in the trea treasury now to see us through tor for it a year or two anyway y and we are not compelled our main m work and start gouging to stop 0 P the wolf from the door out ore I 1 to keep we have bave vu v y mine and block out a lew few hundred thousand dollars worth ot of ore before starting to akope we have not promised big time under two or three thre a results at any as it will require 0 two or three years lor for us to reach our main mal m objective I 1 years provided we continue to hit the ban ball day and night we are out for bear and rabbit cannot stop and chase every we to find we will get the bear happen we the rabbits and then come co me back and get later SHIPMENTS park utah ri consolidated i silver king KIA coalition i

gravel or from pulp in a mill and the same game sponge rubber Is also used as a concentrating surface applied to any vanner type table to recover fine sulphide or carbonate values from the associated gangue even though such values are now admittedly unrecoverable economically by any known concentrating table eau loment not will the vanner type equipment with the sponge rubber concentrating belt make rm recoveries ver not now otherwise economically possible by table gravity concentration but this specially equipped vanner table will 1 handle several times the volume of tonnage of crushed

have been shipped to east helena smelter for flux ing purposes the smelter paying for excess iron content and other mineral values many attempts have been made to min mill this ore and recover the fine fin e tree free rusty gold and make a se concentrate of the iron but all efforts have been economic failures because the gold is so fine and so rusty that it would not amalgamate on copper plates and the ore carriena cahrles car riesa a sufficient percentage of copper to make it difficult to cyanide the iron concentrate alone is not a paying proposition because the smelter penalizes tor for ground iron the morgan sponge rubber is attached to the copper plate frames in the haegen mill the plates having been removed fr from 0 in the frames and the crushed material from the batteries stamps
