jf 4 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY.
IE The Market and the Mines
I 11 For a week now the Fink Binelter at Garfield
I has boen In operation, but the public is still un-
H informed as to whether the operators can cook
I w ore without burning it. The little plant got under
Bl way at 31 o'clock on the morning of the first of
Hun January. The start was witnessed by Samuef
Hlji Newhouse, first aide to the inventor, and several
Inl guests called in from the older smelting and
I Null milling institutions of Garfield. With never a
B fflS balk the furnace warmed up attaining the highest
H 31 temperature wi'.h a quickness and a celerity that
H H astonished the spectators. "I have never seen
m anything like it," said one of them. "If Mr. Fink
ft will apply the same principle to the common, or
H m domestic stove, he will do even more for hu
H H inanity than the most perfect of smelters. Why,
H P sir, do you imagine that any man who really
H k loves his wife would allow her to fuss around these
H li cold mornings getting a fire started in a slow
H I combustion heater when he could buy her a Fink
H c stove that would warm the house in a jiffy? Not
I'l in a thousand years, sir!"

l 1, While the onlookers hastened to compliment
Eg the promoters on the good points manifested by
!n the trial smelter its ease of regulation, economi-
cal consumption of fuel and high potentiality of
l heat, the recipients of the congratulations said
. nothing but "Thank you." Mr. Newhouse after-
H ,' ward announced that the commencement of the
1 test had been very satisfactory, but that he was
Bf not prepared to herald the process as a success
H until the initial run was finished and the results
! reduced to cold and unemotional figures. So far
1 as indications go at present the Fink process will
fl fulfill the requirements of many a mine whose
H location deprives it of the pleasure of being
H trimmed periodically by the smelter trust and the
B railroads.

story. There is, however, no doubt that Heinze
wants the Coalition ore and wants it earnestly and
enthusiastically. But for his contract with the
Silver King he would, probably never have thought
of leasing the Majestic smelter at Mllford. Heinze
may be a little ha:d up at present, or even "down
and out," as his enemies love to declare, but in a
world where a reminiscence like Jim Corbett is
spoken of seriously as a contender for the pugilis
tic championship, there is no such word as "ex
tinguished." That the public does not regard the
Coalition's end of the treatment contract as mo
lasses candy is evidenced by the experience of
the stock in the bear pit this week. Judge Mar
shall's action in overruling the Coalition's de
murrer to the Silver King Con's complaint may
have started the slump, but the ore contract im
broglio helped it along.

It has just been suggested that one of the rea
sons, possibly, why the Iron Blossom has failed to
find the Colorado-Sioux ledge at its north shaft is
that the ledge is not there. If the vein is not
there the failure to find it will not be considered
lemarkable, since there are only a few mines
which, like the Sioux Consolidated, find ore where
it isn't when the stockholders ask about it At
this writing tihe recent buyers of Iron Blossom
are stirring uneasily in their lrridescent dreams
and the forbodings expressed on this page have
beeen more than justified. The Iron Blossom man
agement has tacitly abandoned its theory that the
Colorado vein runs straight south from the Sioux,
by turning west from its north end workings.
From the north drift on the 325-foot level a cross
cut inclining downward to the west is being
pushed through lime the kind of limestone in
which lElast Tintic ore bodies frequently make. Ed
Loose's theory that the Colorado ledge turns
southwest toward the Carisa after leaving the
Sioux has not yet been proved, but if it were true
the Iron Blossom would expect exactly those
things it has experienced.

The Carisa is drifting on two levels from the
Spy shaft an. while the faces of the drifts are
characterized as encouraging," no ore is being 1
removed. The Addie Mining company, located in
East Tintic, after drifting 100 feet from the bot
tom of a 100-foot winze, dropped below the tun
nel level, has encountered a fissure in the lime
stone. The mineralization of the fissure is so
strong that the company feels justified in enumer
atng some of its fowls before they emerge from ,
the incubator and has ordered a now noist. With
the fresh equipment it is proposed to drive the
winze on, down to the 500-foot level. The ship
ments from Tintic mines last week amounted to
111 cars. Of these the Colorado furnished 33
cars of 20 tons burden and the Sioux supplied 11
full grown cars carrying the regulation 50 tons. i
Excellent work is being done by the Tintic smel
ter with its two active lead furnaces. The gentle- i
men in charge are hopeful, but not definite as to J
the date on which the third and fourth lead fur- jl
naces will be put in operation.

Attention has been called to the Beaver county
properties of the Peacock Copper Consolidated
company by a display of samples which reached
town this week in the custody of Manager Block.
The best of the specimens carry 3,000 ounces of
silver. In the property, which lies west of the
King David, there Is said to be a vein two feet
wide in wheh there is silver, 300 ounces a ton,
lead 47 per cent, and gold, $1.80. The vein was
tapped after drifting a short distance from the
bottom of a 100-foot shaft.

Prospects seem to be very good for a substan
tial advance in the price of Little Bell stock. Some
three years ago, it will be remembered, this Park
City offering was considered cheap at $12 or ?13
a share. Since that time the Ontario drain tunnel
has been repaired and extended, the Daly-West
ha3 uncovered new resources in Little Bell
ground and the Bell itself has resumed some of
its former activity by sending a crew of miners
into the third level. Silver, to be sure, is lower
now than it was when Little Bell was a market
