I have examined, whil.s at work, the only plant yet built, thai erected in Wales, for the purpose o- treating fhe yellow copper ore from the Glasdir rrriiiev\"' - It saves about 85 per cent, of thr values as against 15 per cent, by ordinary waler concentration as previous! carried out with the best machinery that could he got. The pre contain only about 1.2 per cent, of copper. ] have also made numerous laboratory tests with the oil process. For ore which contain finely disseminated me tallic minerals I think oil is greatly su perior to water as a concentrating med ium, for it comes at once into comae with, licks up, and saves a large proportion of the floating particles whicl pulverization produces in such mineral; and which are unavoidably lost .wher water is used. To save by water, tin mineral treated must sink, but a ven large proportion of some minerals, sue! as chalcopyrite and tetrahydrite, will not sink, as it is well known to all en'gi neers who have given any attention tr metallurgy. j I recently made a number of 'concentrating tests, with water, of a yellow copper ore containing about 1.2 pe cent, of copper. The average loss wa 55.S percent., mainly arising from floai ing ore, the surface of the water behu covered with a scum of metallic mineral which would not sink. Messrs Elmore have made tests of the sarin ore, and lost only 2 per cent; The les- the percentage o( metallic mineral ii an ore, and the m:ne finely it is disseminated, the greater is the loss in wale concentration. The use of oil prevenl.' that loss almost entirely. I feel very sure that the process ha; a great future, for besides enabling many ores to be profitably treated, I which could not possibly be so treatec in waler, it will always be useful as i. tailings plant in mills handling ore in which a large proportion of tbe metal! h minerals is so scattered through the gangue that it can be saved by hand- sorting and jigs. In British Columbia and other part.' of Canada I know of a large number o' deposits which cannot possible be worked profitably il water concentration were employed, but which, with the El more process, would become very valuable properties. Mines that have been worked at a profit when smelting their produce could greatly increase that profit by employing the Elmore process prior to smelting. Much ore that has hitherto been amalgamated and cyanid- ed will, I am satisfied, be more economically dealt with in the future by the oil concentration. I am, yours faithfully, (Signed), J. D.

Secretaiy White was up on the Knob Hill when some blasting was going on in the glory hole, so lie hied liimsell to the rear of the little blacksmith shop there, as he thought in a place of safety. Nevertheless, a piece of flying ore came down and tore the front brim of his Panama hat, narrowly escaping the Wearer. It might have killed the Granby Co.'s secretary, 01 disfigured him for life, to say nothing of giving him an opportunity of testing the usefulness of the iwv Phoenix Gen era I Hospital. As Mr. White was the thirteenth member of the party in coming across the continent, he thinks that may have had something to dc. with it. , last ofthe1 contracts for; the system'���-, that for the building of the transforming' sub-station of the company in Phoenix. This contract has just been let to John Copp, who built the main power house at Cascade. Work has already been started on the site for the sub-station, which will be located on the Gold Drop mineral claim, at the present terminus,of the ! double pole line, some 22 miles from Cascade and just outside the corporate limits of Phoenix. ���While there will be no moving machinery 111 the sub station, the structure will be a substantial one of brick and stone, about 75,000 brick being required. In size the building will be 30x50 feet, and will have a trussed roof. The transformers have been here for a month or two, coming from the Westinghouse Electric Co., of Pittsburgh, Pa. The power when reduced to the proper voltage by the transformers will be delivered to the three times Sundays in as many different places, viz., Greenwood, Eholt and Phoenix, in the order named. In last week's storm the fast, safe, staunch and commodious steamer, the Myrtle B., which has plied the placid waters of Christina lake for the last four years, was sunk at her pier. Last'week Friday the engine in the LeQuime .& Powers sawmill, at Giand Forks, ran away and flew to pieces. No one was injured, but the building and machine were badly damaged. The new hoist at the Old Ironsides Nov 2 shaft broke down a few days ago, rendering it useless for 24 hours while temporary repairs were being made at the Granby machine shops.

At Wednesday's meeting of the city council Pound By-Law No. 41 was read the second time, and the clerk was told to notify owners of animals to come to his office and peruse the same. Replying to a communication from the secretary cf the Phoenix General Hospital, the council decided that it was not now in a position to pay the balance of the donation of $250, but would do so as soon as it is able. The resignation of Alderman Bradley, who has removed from the city, was accepted, and nominations will be received at McRae's store from 12 to 2 on Friday, August 1st, the election Snowshoe and Granby mines, and willlt0 take P'ace August 41b at the same Boundary Mining Notes. Steam was gotten up in the new Snowshoe engine last Wednesday for the first time. The new compressor building is now roofed. A few cars of coke have begun to arrive at'the Greenwood smeltei, and it is hoped that reductionwoiks will have enough on hand before long so that it can blow in again. In seven days three shifts drove a distance of 52 feet in the new No. 2 tunnel of .the Knob Hill mine. It is expected the tunnel will be connected with the 100 foot level of the property early next month, there being only a little over 100 feet of work to be done now.

A most interesting issue is the last copy of the I^os Angeles Mining Review. - It is called a \"Copper Number,\" and is given over to 'a description of the largest copper mines and -smelters in Michigan, Montana and Arizona. In these days of push aud progress, the man who does not utilize the local press to'push his wares, finds himself in the'Tear of the business procession. This is becoming more and more so each year, and there is food for thought in the fact' 'There are times when it does not p.iy to talk too plainly. . For instance, Wm.

It is little wonder that the share holders should decide to try a man on the new committee, who while not having the handle M, E. tacked to hi1- name, yet had an enviable business reputation and also was not larking in practical experience in this mining section.

PACTS ABOUT COPPER. STRICTLY BUSINESS Imitators are the ones who say advertising does not pay. \"Be sure you're right and then persist\" is a safe advertising rule. 'There is���iio mystery in advertising. It is common sense applied along lines of expeiience, Just as the dripping Water wears away the stone, so will continuous advertising carve a channel to success. An ad in the local -newspaper.pre-, sents its��� proposition to prospective customers when they are in the mood to be interested and enlightened. : Well advertised articles are sure .to be in large demand. No danger of their becoming dust covered or having | tu remain long upon the shelves. No business is too poor to afford some foi 111 of good advertising. ���������: Advertising is as much a legitimate expense for a business as the salaries of the clerks arid office help are. ,7 Tlie advertisement partakes' largely of the nature of news, and it might be made much more newsy. It tells: of new: inventions, .new business liousesi of dissolution of partnerships, etc. What is newest and best in stock should be advertised freely.

McAdams was immoderate, and sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment for the offence. And this was not all. Unless hi provides four securities of $1,000 each for his good future conduct in this respect, he must serve a.year additional. This severe sentence was for publishing in his paper, The Sandon Pay- streak, the statement that the bench ol this province was \"corrupt, lazy, de baiiched, and prejudiced.\" The article containing these words appeared in the issue of May 17, 1902, and was a com ment on the action of Clarke vs. CoU lorn, a mining case. The first summons of the court was defied, and the prisoner was brought down under special warrant. At his trial he admitted that he should 1101 have declared the court corrupt.

The Na|)oleon mine, near Copper- opolis, is the oldest copper mine in California. 'I'he Calumet & Heela Mining Company, of Michigan, has paid nearly ��80,000,600 in dividends. 7 T'he Detroit Copper Mining Company, Morenci, Aiizona, produced last year 18.000,000 pounds of copper bullion. 7 ..\"... Ihe production of electrolytic copper; ii) the United States in 1892 was 50,000,000 pounds; in 1900 it exceeded ^co,000,000 pounds. The ,copper production ofthe United -States in 1899 was 568,216,921 pounds, in-1900 it was 602,808,839 pounds and in. 1901 (estimated) 629,800,000. In 1888; the value of the copper production iiii the United Stales was ���1>33.833.954. In' 1S98 (lenyeais later) it was $61,849,132. In 1900 it was $101,222,712. The principle of electrolysis, discovered by Professor Faraday, was first used in the United Slates at the Halbach smelting works, Newaik, New jersey, in 1881. T'he Mansfield mines in Germany are the oldest active copper mines in the world. They weie opened in 1199 and have.beeli continuously worked since. 'I'he Rio Tinto of Spain, may be the oldest/but not productive. 'I'he Anaconda mine, in Montana, is the largest single procucer of copper in the world. Its annual picduction is about 100,000,000 pounds. The first successful cOnveiting plant for the bessemerizing of .coppei matte was built at Lyons, France, in 18S1. This process was shortly after adopted at the Parrot mine in Montana. | Michigan, ��� Montana and Arizona furnish, practically, all the coppei produced in the United States, tneir combined production being nearly 540,- 000,000 pounds out of a total of 630,- 000,000 pounds. Since the year 1S60 the highest price of copper in the United States was fifty-five cents a pound. That was in July, 1864. Since the same year (i860), the lowest prire recorded is nine cents per pound. At that low figure it remained during June, July and August, 1S94. Exports of copper from the United States in 1873 amounted, in value, to $259,076; in the year 1900 the exports amounted, in value, to $55,285,047. New W. F. of M. President. Chas.
