Famous Local Property Will Have Oil Flotation Concen-

| “Silver Standard mine, in the
Hazelton disttict, will soon be in
the shipping, ‘list again,’’ says
i Western Canada Mining ‘News,
Ss whichfurther states: “The ow-

H ners, Stewart & Welch, of Van-
& couver, formerly Foley, Welch &
; Stewart, principal of, which is
General J..W: Stewart, plan re-
opening this famous northern
producer. It is proposed to instal
[8 concentrator with an oil flota-
ger, tion unit, at. a cost of approxi-
, mately $140,000, which will save
all the values, much of the silver
being lost in the process former-
} lyin use. The values passed
through will, however, be retriev-
ed from the tailings.
“A very considerable amount of
underground work is done on the
‘property. A tunnel was driyen

another 600 feet to tap the six

veins, and Rive a depth of 500
od feet.

™ «©The Silver Standard has quite

| ped 2,703 tons of sorted ore, and|
!. from 1918 to 1922; 11,400 tons of
. i ore were milled. Minerals re-
{ covered were 1100 ounces gold,
; 626,000 ounces. silver, 1,225,000
|, pounds lead and 1,400, 000 pounds
zine, which at present prices
j would give a return of $650,526.

is recorded by Dr. J.J. O'Neill,
Dominion geologist,

“The Silver Standard is essen-

tially a-silver mine, with lead. and
zine values,- The provincial gov-
ernment engineer, reporting on
the operations, pointed out that
a high silver extraction could not
be expected in a water concen-
trator running on a quartzose ore
containing galena, zine blende,
and grey: copper. The new oil
flotation proposed will save all.
the ‘values.

“This property was staked i in

1911 by George McBean and his
partner, Long. The story goes
they received a cash payment of
$60,000. He is at present in the
Hazelton district,
“The Silver Standard is across
a valley from the American Boy,
recently taken over by Vancouver
people. The character of the ore
and formation i is much the same
on both.” oan ‘s :

‘The only local information in
regard to the above is an expeet-
ed visit in the very near future
from General Stewart and D,
McLeod. It is also known that
if the present owners, resume
operation on the Silyer Standard
it will be on a much larger scale
than heretofore.

Straw Hats And

Far Coats Make
Novel Spectacle

After an -absence of several
weeks basking in the hot sands

of California, Dr. Wrinch writes
that he is leaving for ‘loronto
where ‘he will make his head-
quarters while visiting other sec-
tions. Parts of his letter is of
 |general interest and is given be-

I have seen quite a lot of Cali-
fornia this trip. Have tried the
heat of Sacramento Valley, and
can.certify that the report of its
being a warm spot-is not over-
drawn. That is about 80 miles
from San Francisco; where I am
now staying for a few days,
This. is cool, almost cold. Leaving
Sacramento between five and six
in the afternoon, men in the train
had coat and vest off, to get cool,
and on landing at the Oakland
Ferry three hours later we saw
men with overcoats on and ladies
in furs, Tt is said that San Fran-
cisco is the only city whete you
will see men with straw hats and
overcoats on at the same time;
whether it is the only city or not,
it is certainly: true of it.

the boys played high class ball
allthe time. The locals won by
a score of 7 to4, It wags any-
one’s game up to the sixth when
the score was four all. By some
good luck the locals then pot 3
runs and were also able to hold
the visitors down to their origin-
a] four.
