About 10,000 pounds of Arizona onyx
was sent East from Bis Bug in one ship
ment.
The cyanide plants around Tombstone,
Ariz., are all running steadily. Enlarge
ment of old plants and erection of new
ones demonstrates the success of the sys
tem with Tombstone ores.
The Neill mines smelter, Nelson, B. C.,
has ordered to enlarge the plant, a rever
batory, a calcining and a water-jacket
furnate, the latter of a capacity of 170
tons a day. The Western Iron Works of
Butte are building the machinery.
The big tunnel being driven by the
Austin company at Austin, Nev., is now
in 6,500 feet, and tw o cross-cuts have been
run i,6oo feel, making the total length of
the tunnel 9,700 feet. It is expected that
the tunnel will be completed in October,
when it will reach the last of the eighty
odd veins that seam the mountain.
Small Mills
It took a number of years, says the Ex
aminer, for the roller-mill men to overcome
the prejudice in favor of stamps for crush
ing ore and before thev could introduce
their appliances to any extent. Even now
there are many who will have nothing to
do with anything but a stamp mill. How
ever, it has been found that mills of the
type of the Huntington, Bryan, Kincaid,
etc., are exceedingly useful for small mines
and for prospecting outfits, and in many
cases where the ore supply is limited, or
the ore is soft, they answer better than
stamps. For poor men they serve a very
useful purpose indeed, as they are compar
atively cheap, easy to transport and do not
require the heavy foundations necessary
for stamps. Many forms of small mills
were devised and introduced, but none of
them seemed practical until the Hunting
ton mill made its appearance. There was
strong prejudice against the new fangled
outfit for time a and as yet in some quar
ters, for that matter. But at length it be
came widely introduced, and about 600 of
them are now in use. Other mills
of the same general type, like the Bryan
and then the Kincaid, have followed and
are being built and other inventors are
working to improve on them all. So many
prospectors and small mines are worked
in these days which require small crushing
plants only, that there is a demand for
machinery of this kind. Such mills are
often now used in conjunction with stamp
mills also. Of course, for a large operation
where the expense will justify, or great
quantities of ore are to be worked, the
stamp mill is the best in the end- At the
same time the small roller and grinding
mills serve an exceedingly useful purpose
being adapted to the requirements of the
many miners without capital.
