ANI) UDTAIL DEALERS IN JIAY AND GHAUT. RAILWAY TO TESLIN LAKE. Tho Colonist of Sunduy states that General Superintendent Marpolo, Chief Engineer H, J. Gamble and Superintendent E.J. Duchosuoy, all of tho Pacific division of the C.P.R., accomplished during their short stay in thnt city a vast amount of business. Continuing, tho Colonist says: "The con. structibri of a railroad front Telegraph creek, or some other point ut the head of navigation on tho Stickeen, to Teslin lake, wus the special business they had in view. Mr. Duohesney is well known in connection with tho C.P.R., haying been engaged as one of tho surveyors for tho building of.tho nuiln line over twolvo yoars ugo, and hus taken a large part In tho survey work which has boon dono En the exclusions of the system ou the Pacific division. Wo will luko with him supplies sufficient to lust for llireo or four months, hut hopes to huvo tho work well completed 111 Imlf thut length ot time, His party will consist ot leliablo half broods who aro accustomed to the country, and as ho himself hus had a largo experience in of similar work In a similar climate, il. is coi'talu that tlio survoy will bortishod through to complotton without tho loss or an hour's tlmo, Prom the the mouth of tho Stiokoeu the party will proceed by canoe to Telegraph crook und will then select tho most feasible umi direct route to the lake. If tlmo serves, au attempt will in all likelihood be mado to get down lo tin; lower end of the luko, with a view of satisfying the surveyor upon tho only question which contains tho element of doubt the proposed route to the Yukon via Lake Teslin the navigability of the Hootalinqua river. Mr. Marpolo Bays that his compauy, ever ready and willing to recognize the need of railway transportation in newly openod districts, will adhere to its well-established policy in regard to tho Yukou couutry, towards which thero will undoubtedly be a heavy travel in the spring and summer next year aud for some time to come. If the report of the engineer be favorable, the work will bo proceeded with with ull possible despatch and rushed to as speedy a completion aswill be permissible under tbe circumstances to bo contended with. Tho officials of the compauy have for some time been collecting all tho reliable data obtainable in regard to tbo Stickeeu river route, aud the favorable roports received, added to tho other great consideration that the road will be an all-Canadian ono, has decided them upon tho step now being taken. Tho C.P.R. has a reputation for losing no time in tho completion of anything they undertake, and if, as is altogether likely, tho country between Telegraph croek uud Teslin hike presents no gigantic obstacles to the rapid building of the road, it will bo possible for intending Yukoners to transport themselves and their outfits over at least some considerable portion of tbe distanco on tho iron road before winter of next year, Thanks to his experience as uu old campaigner in similar countries, Mr. Duchesncy's outfit is replete in every necessary detail and not cumbersome iu any. The great object to be attained in lho work second only to thoroughness, will bo speed, as the company recognizes that if the work of construction be decided upon, tho transportation of necessary material to the head of navigation must bo accomplished at tho earliest possible moment so as to allow tbo actual building to be commenced immediately tho winter breaks up." The building of this railway eventually means the continuation of tho Canadian Pacific Railway from Ashcroft to Telegraph creek, a distanco of about 500 miles. The Bouupnrto route has been acknowledged by engineers, as tho easiest aud most fcasiblo route to opou up tho Cnriboo aud northern districts, and being settled along tho proposed line, with its other advantages tho rond is bound to go up tho Bonaparte from Ashcroft. THE MINING JOURNAL, $2A YEAH The Poor Man's Route. Editor Mining Jouiinai.âSir: In your issue of tho 11th iust., I observe a a paragraph headed "It's the Poor Man's Route," which, aftor perusal, I feel justified iu saying, is as correct as uny I havo yot seen, I am able to testify to this tho moro surely, owing to my having passed through the route in tho early days as fur ns Stikoen rivor, nnd many times over different sections of it ns far as the Skeenn. It is not only n "poor man's routo," but a really good cnttlo road, aud in my opinion a routo by which prospectors or minors who wish to puss their owu freight through enn uso to great advantage. A party sending a portion of their outfit via Victoria by steamboat to tho houd of navigation on tho Stickeen could leave Quesnello with light horses from 16th April to 1st May according as tho spring opens, each horso having a small supply of outs, ns leaving Quesnollo aud for some distanco above Blackwater suow will bo mot nnd food backward. Below Ciucut Lake food will bo in abundance and from thero on thoro will bo no want for | tho horsos. Tho horses would bo iu good order for a gallop through to Skooun from Stouoy crook. It was my intention to havo written you uuarticlo on this route, but Mr. Shields' description relievos mo from going into detail, us it is perfectly correct and reliable, in all ils muin foaturos. Spring opens in tlio upper couutry earlier than generally supposed, Our invariable custom used to bo to leave Stuart's luko on tho 15th of April with bouts for Quesnelle. and seldom if ovor woro ico bound. Stouey creek nnd Frnser's lako Are places whero feed spring up much earlier than elsewhere and plenty of it for any amount of pack nnimali passing cattle. I have littlo to say of the trull from Kispiox as it was in tho sixties. At that timo it was wet aud swampy, nnd flooded at high wnter, hut uo doubt is much improved and changed hy the various parties working on it. Parties leaving early iu tho spring with heavily loaded animals wo.dd bo liable to wear out tholr horses, thus losing a good deal of valuable tlmo, whereas hy either forwarding a portion of their goods via steamer to tho head f navigation ou tho Stickeen, or even boating up.tho Prasor and Noehaeo rivors as far ns Frnser's hike, thero packing up tho cargo, tho horses would ho fresh for tlio work ahead of them. If fully loaded they must go slowly. Having lived in that section for '£1 yoars and always traveling In ovory liroelion from Fhullay's brunch to Quesnollo, Skeoua, Pence, Parsnip, etc., 1 am safe in saying thnt few havo passed or roamed through thut vast and unknown country more thau your humblo servant, Gavin Hamilton. P.S,- -In somo later article 1 may givo you my idea of what I sbull cull "A Prospector's Route," nnd one I would lovo to travel ns old as I am, AROUND QUESNELLB PORKS. The Favorite Route. The following is a sample of tho hundred of letters received at this office during tlie past fow weeks. Editor Mining JournalâSir:I notico in tho Evening Telegram, of Toronto, under date of Sept. 1, a clipping from your paper respecting the overland routo from your city to tho Klondike. Thero is a party forming hero with the intention of goiug overland to the Yukon couutry iu the spring of 1808. The Telegram's statement of above route seems easiest aud least expensive of any yet published. However, we would like a littlo more definite information on following points: 1. A reliable map of tho trail from Ashcroft to Teslin lake. 2. Cost of provisions and suplies for a party of ten. 3. Can thoy he bought nt as good advantage thero as iu Winnipeg or Vancouver? _. What is the cost of good pack horses per head? 5. Can guides he; hired at points along tho routo or procured there for the entire trip? I would be pleased to open correspondence with ono of your merchants regurdiug thc outfit of a party six to teu, What is tho chauco for a pack train to live off the country on tho wny to Lako Teslin. An eurly reply would greatly oblige yours truly, A. R, Mead. Ashland. Wis., Sept. 5,1807. In answer to tbe above questions 1st, a map will be issued if. a short time from the ofllco of tho Mixing Journal thnt will bo reliable and will be mailed to all enquirers aftor Octo ber 10th to 15th. Hud. Provisions can be bought at Asbcroft or Kamloops or uny point nlong tho Cariboo rond ut reasonable rates. They can bo bought at better udvnutage at thoso points thau at Winnipeg or any eastern point. Pack horses cost from 815 to 830 each. No guides are needed to Teslin lake mi Asbcroft follow tho telegraph line to Quesnelle, (n wagon road) and from tliero nlong the old telegraph trail. The trail enn be easily followed. Por prices writo any of our advertisers, Wo mail a copy of tho Minino Journal to evory ouquiror. Wo nguin repeat that tho feed is first class all along tho trail and road from Ashcroft to Lako Teslin from Muy 1st until lato in the season, somo seasons earlier than Muy 1st. Blue joint aud wild pea vine grow iu profusion. Mr. Shield's Scheme. Ottawa, Sept. 15.âJohn Shields, of Toronto, who has been for some mouths iu British Columbia, is in tho city. He enmo hero by tho request of certain parties iu British Columbia to interview Hon. Mr, Siftou with a view of repairing part of an old trail through Canadian territory to the Klondike. Tho trull extends from Quesnello to Telegraph crock, a distance of about 500 miles, and is blockod up with fallen trees. If this trail was clonred out, then British Columbia ranchers could drive thoir cattlo right iuto the Klondike. Tho British Columbia govern mont is now making a trail botween Tologrnph creok aud Teslin lake, Mr. Shields also asks that tho telegraph line bo extended botween Quesnollo and Telegraph crook, aud this would givo direct communication with .ho Stickeen. and could bo continued on to Klondike. Tho building of tho telegraph lino belongs to Hon. Mr. Tarte's department, aud Mr. Shields will go to Montreal to meet the Minister of Public Works. The Golden River Quosnelle Com pany are hard nt work on thoir mammoth undertaking of damming tho wators of Quesnelle lake at tho head of the South Fork, about seven miles from here. A large force of men uro employed under tho superintendence of J. J. Nickson, and all tho work is being dono iu it very systematic way. Tho work will iu ull probability be completed next year somo time, and wheu finished will bo one of the largest undertakings of tho kind iu the prov ince, aud tho shareholders will roup their reward when the water is stopped uud active miuing work commences ou the bed of the South Fork. At presont the compnny huvo a numbor of men building n wagon road from.hoi i along the lino of the trail to Qucsnelle Porks nnd huvo about two miles of it In fairly good condition now. The distance is only seven miles and the gov eminent will probably lako it oir tholr hands. The rond when finished will be a good thing for tho pooplo iu the immediate neighborhood. At tho Cariboo mine J. B. Hobsou has a number of men at work preparing for tho now ditch to be built from Morohead lake, a distance of thirteen miles, and whon it is completed will give the Cariboo mine sufficient wuter to ruu the mine, as at present the water is limited und thoy only huvo it for a few hours a day, Another clean- up will bo made this fall. A fowdaysago a large blast of nearly TOthkegs of black powder was set olf knocking down about 75,000 yards of gravel into the pit. The camp at tho Curiboo mine is one of excellence, everything being well attended to and tho eating quarters aro looked after by uu experienced stewnrd. The company havo recently applied for fifteen more leases iu Littlo Valley adjoining their present grouud. The present ditch to Polleys and Bootjack lakes is in good condition and at, present the government is making u trnil from the head of the ditch to the Porks to connect with the Horsefly trail. It is hoped by ull in this part of tho country that a wagou rond would bo opened up from tho Horsefly to the Porks which would bo a great boon to those interested in mining. D. D. Duhig is in town awaitiug tbe arrival of Mr. Addicks of New York, who is at tho head of the company that has bonded tho Maud company's ground. It is not expected that any work will be done this year, but from the meager reports received it is expected thnt active work will be started in the spriug. D. Hughes, of tho Victoria Consolidated Company, is hard at work on the grouud a few miles from towu, John McRao has purchased tho saw mill aud outfit of Chester McAdam, and will hereafter conduct the busl- Mr. McRae's Hotel aud general store at thc Forks is conducted iugood style. Mr, Stevenson, tho government agent, with tho assistance of James Bain, the constable, have about rounded up tho district on tax collecting tours. Mr. Balu is largely interested in several mining projects in the district aud it is hoped that he will pull out all right in tho end. He has spout several years iu Cariboo aud has considerable experience m mining. As a detective 'Jim" seldom fails to catch his man aud is gaining quite a reputation I'or himself. Push ft Alonx. The following telegram wns sent on this week to Hon. C. Siftou. minister of interior, Ottawa, by tho citizens of Ashcroft, as the result of a meeting hold on Tuesday. Ashcroft, B.C., September 14, IM)7. Hon. C. Sikton, Minister of Interior, ()t- wn.: To hold travel nn Canadian Hull nml open up new- districts. Committee considers important tu clear trails nnd remove obstructions on waterways over route from Quesnelle lo Yukon. This route worth careful and prompt attention, Mr. John Shields has been doing good sendee for this section aud will be remembered by tho people for so doiug. _ I went over tho mountain to investi gate it myself. I spent one day witli two brothers, tho McKiiinoii boys, or Wellington, B.C. I saw them lake out 8300 in one day rrom simply sinking two prospect holes. The formation is the same as at Eldorado creek, and Sulphur bears the same relation to Dominion creek as does Eldorado to Bonanza. Tho stream empties into Indian rivor. They aro just across the divide from the Klondike, and the same process that brought millions in y.old Into the beds of Bonanza and Eldorado crooks deposited as much wealth Sulphur and Dominion," yUBSNELLG. ompleted. The Hnglygood this r exceeded last u au occasional LILLOOET. Joseph Hunter, M.P.P.,of tho Golden Rivor Quesnollo Co., who aro damming tho waters of Quesnello lake, camo dowu Tuosday oveniug from the soeuo of operations and went to the coast. Klondike Has a Rival. Sulphur creek, a brunch of Dominion creek, which is a tributary of tho Indian rivor, is the scene of the latest great gold excitement in the Klondike. Prom accounts of tho now district, brought down ou the str. South Const, it seems that the uow diggings will rival oven tho famed Bonanza nud Eldorado. Gold was fouud just below tho surface running 831 to the pan. Two men took out $300 in a day in simply pros pcctlng their eluiins. A stumpedo followed tho reports of the now finds which reached Dawson City Aug. 15th. In a week 500 men bud crossed tho mountain between Eldorado creok and Dominion creek. They travelled day uud night and in two weeks the tbo whole stream was staked out. This information, tho first uuthontic story of Sulphur creek, was given by JohuE. Light, of Chicago, III. Mr Light was a passenger ou tho str. South Coast. Ho left Dawson City on tho str. Bella August 18th. Ho owns a claim on Sulphur creek which ho located himself. This is Light's st'itemeut of tho new find: "Sulphur creok will equal Bonanza. There is no doubt about it. When I first heard of the strike thoro The full weather with the Llllooltos aclsasa reminder tind ouch visitor is assured thut "This is our average weather." The average equals' anything in Canada for mildness aud beauty, and the nights under tho full moon arc simply delicious. This state of things naturally leads to sentiment as a proof, an Irish-looking gentleman was observed in a lachrymose eondi- condition. His sorrow was, "The departed Thomas." His auxiliary, an onion. The town is almost deserted by the minors all being off to the now strikes on Bridge river. Somo splendid rock is brought iu weekly from that district claims are being recorded aud develop mont work done. Several mining men from Vancouver are examining tho strike mado by N. Coughlln. This strike rivals the Golden Eagle in rich ness tho gold being in smnll nuggets all through the rock, It is said to be a continuation of the lead on thoPorty Thieves group. But as tho country is very much covered up, a good deal of development work will havo to bo done before anything can bc certified. Several English sportsmen have arrived in town and havo gone out for the fall shooting up Bridge river. The Golden Cache will commence stamping next week ils everything is iu readiness. Rev. Mr. Turner has gone to Barkervillc. Rev. Archdeacon Small was iu town Sunday und held services morning and evening. l.-rkervlUe-Kclthley Creek Trail. The trail from Barkervillc to Keith- ley creek is about BG miles distant, but nearly every man in tho distriot has a lilferent distance and story to tell about tho trail. Prom Barkervlllo lo Ashcroft this trail cuts off about 00 miles of travel, and is used considerably by people on horse nnd foot. It is the outlet both ways of tho minors who work on the numerous creeks iu that division, where for tho past year mining has been onrriod on qui to extensively. Tho government for some time removed tho obstructions from lho trail, but for tho lust few years havo neglected it. Tho members of parliament for the district not having bothered themselves ubout it, it has gotten into a most disgraceful condition. For about ton miles u wagon road is built and about the old sawmill tho traveler turns ou lo tho trait leading to lho Porks. Por lho flrst fow miles the trail Is not very bud und off aud ou a good piece ia found. All through, tho country is heavily timbered aud thick underbrush, the ferns aud bushes along the trail reaching to a man's knees on horseback, making it very disagreeable, as at this time of the year tho rain fall is considerable and the weather quite cold. Tho government should do something to mako this trail passable for the prospectors and minors who aro compelled to travel over it, aud many a prayer will be delivered for its benefit, Prom Snowshoo creek into tho Porks of Quosnelle, tho trail is in first-class condition. Annual Race Meeting. Tho third annual race meeting will tako place at Lnc La Macho ou Monday and Tuesday, 18th aud 19th of October and tho races promise to be good. The first days races consist of the following: The Colonial raco, half utile, single dash, for horses bred iu the provinco. Saddle horso raco 000 yards, for horses that never ran before. Coll raco, six hundred yards, single dash, for 2, 3, aud 1 yoar olds. Pony raco, 300 yards, for horses under 11 bunds high. Second dny: Lac La Hache derby, half-mile heats, best two iu three, open to all. Farmer's raco, dOO yards, single dash, open to all.. Consolation race, 400 yards, single dash for horsos that havo run and failed to win. Cow boy rrce, 200 yards and return to starting poiut. Each jockey to saddle his horse, light cigar ut tho start aud tako a drink half way. The committee intend having better races, as thonnmesou the subscription goes to show. In connection there will bo hold foot races, jumping, etc., and on Tuesday evening, the 10th, a grand ball will bo held. Don't, forget to take in the races and have a good time bo fore going lo Klondike. Harvesting Isabel â¢ropshnvo been oxt â /ear. Tho yield has year. Thero lias bi shower during tho season but all has been secured in a fuir condition. In the mining lino the season of closing down is approaching, Tho West Creek Compnny, conducted by Mr, Seymour Baker, has completed the work for hydraullckiug but as thero was uot likely to bo more than throe weoks work dune Mr. Baker thought it advisable to close down for the winter and opou up as early in tho spring as possible. The machinery is ail sot and tho prospects are good. Mr. Baker and Mr, Campbell will return to Britain Ibis winter, MrrBoibolof Pittsburg,,! machinist of high reputation, is hero In advance to place the machinery iu a now dredge which is to replace the one already built, which is near the Cottonwood. The pumping apparatus is to ho replaced by a dipperdredge of a capacity of one and one-halt' yards, and a scow of dill'eront construction will be necessary, so work is to be commenced at once ou a new oue. Dr. Craighead will superintend lhe work and everything will be on lho most approved plans. The machinery is on lhe way and will be iu Qiiesuollo shortly. Capt. Broughman's party came down last week iu canoes. They roport good prospects and aro confident of the richness uf the claims thoy own. A few of Captain Black's party aud also Cul. Wright's are down. Tho scarcity of provisions was chiefly complained of. Col. Weatherly started out prospecting (or quartz aud reports that he found as good ore as any in South Africa. Tho expense of packing provisions aud other resources into the region of the Pinlay and Pence rivers are n serious drawback. Mr. Deacon was out on a prospecting tour up the Necbaco and other rivers tho last fow weeks and has returned. Ho made a journey of about three hundred miles. Mr. Gilmer, who is Interested in the San luan claim, on tho Cottonwood, wont to Victoria last week. Mr. Hughes, C. B., was out ou a prospecting trip a few days. Ho will leave for the south next week. General Kinohaut of Westminster, has made a trip up the road to Burkcrvillo aud is now on his return to the coasl. Ou Sunday Mrs. J, A. Fraser gave birth to a fine baby girl and the little lassie and its mother aro doing well. HORSEFLY. Al the Horsefly mino the 10-atamp mill is running to perfection and about 100 tons a day is being put through. Mr. Newsome has charge of the mill, and Mr, G.W. Snyder Is superintendent of the mino. A larger forco of men will bo put on and work continued all winter. The mill has beeu running for about thirty days and a clean up will take place shortly. At the Ward claim work has ber-n suspended and the men are up at the dam and along the ditch fixing up things iu general. Mr. Ward is at present iu San Francisco. R. H. Campbell is still bard at work, having overcome the difficulties he en- ounlcred a short time ojg-t and is as confident as ever of successful results, Alex. Meiss, proprietor of the City Hotel, is doing a good business, and has unbounded faith in the future of the Horsefly district, A largo party of Lillooet property owners will bo up on Tuesday night to visit their mining properties on Cayoosh creok, Warned Against ***.ln*nnti.n Route. Two young Englishmen who have traveled for three years ovor the Yukon district aud have done well are now in Winnipeg and are warning prospectors against goiug via Edmonton. One said: "1 don't believe a man would reach the Yukon diggings in a year, no, not in eighteen months, going via Edmonton route. About the last stage of tho Edmonton trip would bo down the Porcupine river. At the cud of tho Porcupine trip tho traveler would thou havo to go back up stream between throe aud four hundred miles, with a six-mile current against him all the wny, to reach the gold district. Besides, be would encounter almost impassable swamps and rapids, and if ho ever got through at all would have tho toughest kind of a time. Tho Edmonton route will be all right whon they build a railroad over'it." continued the gentleman, with a laugh, "but 1 imagine it will be some time before that is built. Meantime, I would advise people who have any thoughts of it not to risk the hazardous trip via Edmonton." John Shields al Work, Ottawa, Sept, 14.âMr. John Shields, of Toronto, saw Hon. Mr. Siftou to-day and had a,long interview with the minister about clearing the trail from Ashcroft, so that the cattle ranchers of British Columbia might drive their cattlo into tho Klondike.

Young King William of Germany is advertising his qualifications as Emperor. His argument is tlmt his grandfather was chosen of God, and hence his graudson inherits tbo divine right. Without going into tho question of his grandfather's call to tho profession of king although we may suspect that the call was synonymous with his ambition it is rather lato in tho day to assert the divine right of kings as a serious argument. This is one of the fallacies that we wink at, but we can assure William that tho divine right idea except il be the divine riglit of the people's will weut out with the decadence of touch-pieces as a cure for scrofula.

Curious Black Sand. This week Mr. Harold Grtiuov, of Cal Htury, who is ou a visit to Knst Kootenay, showed tho Miner whilo passing through to Fort Steele, some of tho famod bltick .itind round iu tho Kns- kntchowau river near Edmonton, hi the district of Alberta, which analysis has proved to bo exceedingly rioh iu gold, The saud is far from golden iu appearance. It looks liko a mixture of black and gray sand mingled together. Itlookslikoa uiixturo of black and gray sand mingled together. It is impregnated with tiny pebbles aud minute pieces of rock. It is very heavy iu bulk. It is fouud in the bod of tho 1'Iver aud tho area whore it is fouud is some miles hi extent, Tho deposits donotappenr to bo growing much less asthey nrc quickly renewed by successive floods whon thc waters of tbe rivor become high, Several companies havo becu formed to treat tlii-s sand so as to obtain From it thc groat amount of gold that exists in it. Crushing, amalgamation, or extraction by menus of quicksilver have been attempted. This process has not beeu a oomploto success. Another process has been tried of treatment by the action of Uro, rousting and smelting, lint the Miner does not know with whal result. Tho analysis or assays mado go ns high ns 8100 per ton. There uro millions of tons. The groat problem to bo snivel! is how to extract the dollars from the tons, The soiuvher aftor wealth tuiiiing Its parMolos Is so busy with the solution of this problem, that he does not pay much al tent ion I o I ho qiiostlnli where does this gold ooitto rrom? Thla Ibh geological and solon title question, There are no qiinrl/. reefs near. The only thing approaoll ing rock, nre some humOUSO boulders * Hiuiltered nboul, A BClontlllc theory is that these have drifted away from Hudson's Uny in the glacial ago, This may bo so but they do not seem to Imvo brought the gold with them, because examination lias proved so far ns it Ims gone, thnt there is no gold quart/ in auy of them. While the Miner is in teresled iu this hitter question, il is much moro interested In the solution oftho problem how to get "the sugar out of tho sand," becauso iu certain of the rivers and streams of blast ICooto- nny there are similar deposits of this sand which have proved to be rich iu gold. There nre deposits in Blaobury creek iu the Donald division iu the northern part of East Kootenay. The Blaebury deposits arc nearly opposite the Saskatchewan deposits ou tho other side of the Rookies. The Miner's theory is aud the Miner is generally correct*- that those sandy deposits come from the gold deposits in tli3 Rookies, The sources, which are many, of the headwaters of the Saskatchewan lie far away in among these mountains. The opposite of thc Rockies lias been proved both in placer and quartz, aud there is no reason why those deposits should uot ex- teud through tho mountains to tho eastern side. Ou tbe contrary, geologists will tell you thc formation is tho same und that thero fore the quart/ ledges must be of the same character, The forks and tributaries of the Saskatchewan run with considerable velocity, nnd the river is not a slow moving stream until it is far away from the mountains. The oarrying force of water is groat. Rocks aud boulders can be moved long distances through its agency. The gold is (lour gold and eau be more easily aud readily carried along. But tho question may be very aptly put, why do the deposits occur where they do. why should they be at those particular places? The character of the earth will readily account for this. Certain portions of the earth possess great magnetic attractions aud it may be aud is iu all probability at those places where these magnetic properties exist that the deposits aro made.

A practical formula for estimating the percentage of sulphurets lu quartz is niven iu a recent uutuloRuo issued hy tho Riedon Iron Works of Sun Francisco, as follows: Take 10,000 grains of 20,8 ounces of crushed oro which will pass through a 40-mcsh wii-o screen, Wash tho oro vory carefully in bntea or pan, and rewnsh ns long as sulphur ets appear, Dry and weigh. Kaoh graiu of sulphurets will equal ono- huudrodth of 1 por cent. If tho sul- phurets weigh 1.5 grains, tho quartz contains one and throe-fourth--} per cent, of sulphurets, or. if 20 grains, ono- tltth or ono por cent. If lhe sulphurets are worth $100 per toil, the value of sulphurets hi euch imi of ore is 81.73, or, if ono fifth of otie per cent., '2(1 cents por ton. To test tailings, dry and weigh 10,000 grains, Wash as above. Dry and weigh the sulphurets. Knch grain will ropr-osout one- hiindrodth of one per conl,., aud a loss of ouo por cent, por ton If lhe -sul phurets are worth 8100 per ton. Thus if the 10,000 grains of tnilings yield threo undonQ-half giainsot' sulphurets, the loss is three and one-haft cents per ton in sulphurets.
