“Qne of the most interesting
‘metallurgical developments of the
iday is the actual production of
‘spilter at the Trail smelter by an
electro-chemical process worked
‘out by .the staff, who have; : for
‘the past three years, been ‘en-
gaged on the problem. Let*us
hope that the process will prove
of economic value. when applied
ot a commercial scale, ‘as its suc-
cess would be an immense boon
to British Columbia and. would
provide the local market so ur-
gently required ata time when
the-American spelter works are
closed to shipments of ‘zine ores
and concentrates from this Pro-
vince. —Mining Record.

‘Up in South Dakota, a few
weeks ago, -a tenderfoot. found
what looks to be the Amaking of a
great gold mine in a section that
had long been regarded as being
worthless as far as being. mineral
bearing wag concerned, although
it had often been gone over “by
expérienced ‘mining men. The
teriderfoot. had been ona pros-
pecting expedition and, being

tired and weary after a day of

fruitless search, sat down ‘on. an
out-cropping ledge that.y was seem-
ingly lean and barren. | ‘Almost ||
uriconsciously he began breaking
off pieces of rock: with: -his | "pros-
-pecting pick and, “without. any

cations of mineral { in: the hungry-
looking: “specimens. he. _gathered
up, was surprised:.to :find that
they really looked good ‘and Stain-
ed as if gold-bearing... Taking
these samples to a competent and
reliable assayer he was overjoyed
to find that they really contained

gold of commercial: value.

The

discovery is now being worked
and the property gives promise
of developing into a big producer

Jand dividend-payer. -

Experienced mining men had
examined this ledge off and on

for many years.

They, too, had |:

noticed the coloring of the rock
and had attributed the stains to
vegetable matter, ;never : taking | ©
the trouble ‘to have. an” assay
made, for they trusted altogether
to their eyes and to their experi-

ence and mining wisdom.

The trouble with a great many
mining men exists in the fact
that they have formed rock-rib-
bed opinions as to condititions in
which ore must. be found, and
will not deviate one particle from
this opinion. The consequence is

that they -pass-: over, time and},

time again, and for years, zround
that is exceedingly rich in. its
mineral content, cand: for the rea-
son that it does not look good to.
them, ‘nor does: the formation, or

geology coincide with the precon-:
ceived notion as to where | or how}

gold should: ‘be found::

But, along comes a tenderfoot.
He has but little knowledge of |.
geology and formation, but he.is

looking for mineral.

As a matter

of fact everything looks. good to
him and heis. as. inquisitive | asa

three- -year-old . ‘child.

. And, _be-.

cause of. ‘his lack. of. knowledge
and experience, he. examines
everything attracting. his. atten-
tion, and. he is as anxious to find
out what isin the rock he. uncov-

ers ag he fs inquisitive, .:

Of

course he makes, many errors and
mistakes; but, when he finally

does" find ‘something good, it. is

generally { in’ ‘a formation that has’ —

been condemned by. “olds mers’!

and’ in: regio

condemned ‘for years: as_being||

barren and. sworthless for mining
purposes... .. pe
‘The ‘regular. mining’ man,”

we et

being ignorant and irresponsible,
knows no bounds or limits, and,

more through accident than the _
use of. good (?) judgment, falls | --

upon ‘a bonanza ‘that has been. ly-
ing ‘wide dpen’’ for many years.

Moral:—Keep your eyes open,
and don’t be.too sure about just
how ahd’ where mineral ‘should
exist, os
