Another design of furnace long found
favor, in the upper Harz region; this the
so-called raschette furnace of rectangular
build, with a row of tuyeres on either side.
It was a" furnace much Iike<l, .mention,ed
by Colrns as first used for smelting iron
ores in the Urals, and then copied in the
Harz region; it is no longer used in Ger­
many.
In 1854 appeared the second edition of
Overman's "Metallurgie," a book coverIng
pretty much the whole field of the common
metals. In this work no mention is made
of water-cooling of blast furnaces, either
for smelting iron, copper or lead; the fur­
naces are described to considerable extent
and illustrations are given, but the time
, is evidenly just before that most needed
invention. He does mention water-cooling
of refining furnaces.

Overman supplies an illustration of the
Scotch slag furnace as at that time used
for smelting leady material both in Eng­
land and in this c·ountry. This furnace
is mentioned by Percy, While the follow­
ing details are fI\)m Phillips:
The furnace is commonly called the
"slag hearth." From the front back to the
tUYere it measures about thirty inches;
width is twenty-two inches; height a little

Slag furnaces,built after the exact pat­
tern of thOSe used in England, were In­
troduced into the great Missouri and Wis­
consin lead mining sections for use with
the ore hearth. In the Missouri field the
simple slag furnace evidently ha<l a rather
brief career, for it receives little mention
in the literature. The WTa,ter jacketed fur­
nace early found favor in Missouri and is
still largely used, as we shall speak of
later. Quite differently in the Wisconsin
field, slag furnaces came into use along
with the hearths, possibly during the lat­
ter part of the 30's, and were used with­
out any particular imprOVement as long as
lead was smelteli within the district.
Long before any white men had set foot
within the district the Indians had smelte<l
the rich galena ores of the Wisconsin area
in their fires over a hole in the ground,
With the advent of the whites, smelting
was transferred, to the log and ash fur­
naces, which gave way, along in the 30's,
to the hearth ;:tnd slag furnace. The Drum­
mond air furnace also had a place to slight
extent,but that is the whole story of lead

CONDENSED ESSAY ON COAL
(Continued from last issue.)
Anthracite. The word anthracite de­
rived from the old Greek words anthrax
(coal) and anthrakites (resembling coal.)
A variety of mineral coal; someUmes called
coalstone; and owing to its resemblance of,
and sub-texture' of bitumen, is sometimes
called limestone; and also called glance,
owing to its splendid metallic lustre. Its
hardness is 2 .to 2.5; Its speCific gravity,
1.32 to 1.70; lustre, sub-metallic; colour,
e strata or nodules of shale or slate will be
iron. 'black, often irredescent. Contains
eighty to ninety-six per cent of carbon and
burns with a pale red, feeble flame; found
in extensive deposits in the Appalachian
range. Contains sometimes, slight partl·
cles of ferricpyrites (a composition of suI·
phur and iron.)'
(Free·burning Anthracite.) A variety of
between anthra­
cite and bituminous coals; containing less
·carbon and a greater per cent of hydrogen,
also crystals or nodules of pyrites and sllice-'
OUS, or other earthy impurities; especially
this variety consists of compressed and
f::hemically ,\altered Vegetable matter, be·
ing chieflY the extract of the lycopodiace­
ous species of tree or gmwth, togeth'er
wLth several other known specie, among
them being cons:derable decomposed pulp
of peat. As the vegetable matter accumu·
lated, hydrogen and oxygelf were evolved,
together with some' of the carbon By the
relative proportion of carbon, the vegetable
fibre decreased to possibly one-sixteenth
of the original bulk, the heaviest decrease
of bulk, and increase of carbon, as one·
sixteenth has created anthracite, be:ng the
greatest percentage of carbon and the least
percentage of oxygen.
The carbonaceous strata, containing'less
than eighty pel' cent car,bon, takes its
place with the bituminous varieties of coal,
and then generally a 'minimum percentage
of eighty Mr cent is classed as bitumin·
ous; and the higher per cent of carbon, as
anthracite. By the operation of lateral
pressur!l on coal measures more hydrogen
has ·been driven off, and the coal metamor­
phosed into anthracite. Other coals origi­
nally contained such carbon, 'hence the
fundamental conditions producing the many
varieties of coals.

coal. ConSisting of many varieties, the
various grades being designated according
.to the constituents ()If the general colllJlound;

bon tar (coal-tar). Fossil fuel is generally
bituminous when 'burnt, condensed by the
decomposition of vegetable matter and the
resulting combinations of hydrogen and
carbon. Bituminous coals classified and
characterized by the excess of hydrocar­
bon in the compound. Sometimes sntcious
and other metaH!c or sub·me<tal!1c Impnri­
ties exist, as ash, ferric· pyrites- (sulphur
and iron), and in many instances slight
disseminated throughout the beds. Bitum·
inous coals may be classified as: (1) Hard
bituminous; (2) semi-'bictuminous, caking
coal; (3) ordinary hituminous, cannel or
parrot coal; (4) torbal1ite; (5) earthy broWn
coal; (6) mine.ral charcoal; (7) Iigni,te, of
brown coal; (8) common bituminous.
Caking-Coal. Hydrocarbon coal, mined
priQr to complete coagulat'on. A domestic
coal.
Cannel, or Parrot. This variety must be
classed as a semi-anthracite, :1ieing a very
hard cool; bll>t generally cla:3Sed as bitum·
inous (gas coal). It may ,be distingulshe<l
by its crackling and chattering sound when
in motion.
Torbanite. This resembles bitumen shale
(by distillation yields parrafiin). By va·
rious analyses shows a comparatively uni­
fOl'm compOSition, being carbon 81.15. hydro­
gen 11.48, oxygen 6 and nitrogen 1.37. Ex·
cluding the very small percentage of nitro­
gen the analyses would be generally about
carbon 82.19, hydrogen 11 64 and oxygen
6.17.
Lignite. Woo<! coal, fossil coal, general­
ly of Tertiary age, almost non-ignit·ous. A
kind of coal. The lustre does not gUsten
as does carboniferous coals. The colour
is dull, or brownish-'black. OccaSiionally i:t
may be found pitch black; as the name lig­
nite (Latin, lignum-wood) implies. it, as
a general rule retains the form and aspect
of the original woo<!; ligneous substance.
It, however, contains a larger 'percentage
of hydrogen than does wood. If ultimate
decompOSition were complete, it would have
discharged carburetted hydrogen and be­
come bituminous coal. The plants compos·
ing it are mostly oxygen. consequently more
highly organized than the cryptogans of the
car,boniferous coal. Beds are numerous,
but rarely of any material thickness and
virtually of no commercial value.
Earth-Brown. Sim:Ia'r to lignite, having
a slightly greater decomposition.
Mineral Charcoal. (Mother'coal), (min.
eral carbon). A soft fibrous charcoal-like
coal found in layers in mineral coals (the
original true coal), (synonym of anthracite),
and deSignated as "mother·coal." Abund­
ant in original formation.

Bog·Head Coal. A very soft kind of bl·
tuminous or semi-anthracite showing strong
evidence of the wood having originally de­
composed in an impervious sub-soil, having
a great excess of water. Highly decom­
posed and compressed of dts hydrocrabons.
Probably of the Neozoic age.
Caking- Coal. (Native coke.) A common
variety of bituminous coal. Occurs in a
more compact form than artificia,l coke.
Variety of "mother-coal," hydrocarbon, or
native charcoal of a slightly greater ex­
~ss of ,hydrocarbon than "charcoal;" alos

Semi·Bituminous-Coal. This is a coal
sometimes called bitumen-coal, from tne
fact that a cons:derabte liquid substance
may be shown in the fracture or cleavage,
but the name semi-bituminous-coal is im­
properly used in this manner, as the last­
named should suffice to cover its composi­
tion. In fact, the name semi-bituminous

Chemical alteration and decomposition act­
ing upon a vegetable variety of fern, un­
known to other coals, pO'Ssibly ehe phenop­
teris fern, not having been completely de­
stroyed by fructfication.
Splint-Coal. A variety of bituminous;
splintery and non-caking coal, has a high
percentage of carbon and a minimum
amount of bituminous substance as com­
pared with the common bituminous coals.
Sometimes classified as a semi·anthracite
owing to this stated cause; also c1ased as
a charcoal or mother-coal layer.
Albertite. A variety of .bitum!nous
(gas coal or Tock oil), containing a heavy
percentage of bituminous substance, com­
o morrly classified as a decarbonized as­
phaltum variety. It fuses imperfectly when
heated, throwing down a heavy sinter mat­
ter.. Contains also 'a slight percentage of
impurities, as ash, pyrites, etc.
Dysodll. (Gas coal). A variety of coal,
which might be classified as a bituminous
coal composed of spores (tips of the th::eads
of fungi-sporidium). While burning a very
fetid smell eSCapes; found in masses of
thin layers of a light pale green or yellow-
ish-gray-colour. Decomposed from a caustic soda to extract the phenol and
strickly fungi or sporium, compressed and
chemically altered, evolving hydrogen and
oxygen; a small quantity of carbon, to­
gether with a slight quantity of pyrites.
Tasminite. A variety of bitmu!nous coal,
occurring in small discs or nodules in lami­
nated shale, sometimes called shale-coal;
has a hardness of 2.0 and specific gravity
1.Ui; a resinous lustre, redish-brown colour.
It is essentially a mineral, insoluble in
alcohol, benzole, ethene, etc. Contains car­
bon, 71.8 to 7921; hydrogen, 10_23 ot 11.83,
sulphur, 5.28 to 9.81; oxygen, 5.28 to 6.56.
Bettre·Red-Coal. A. ,arlety -of common
bituminous. Name commonly used to define
a dysodil coal, of a spore of sporidum fungi
growth. Containing an excess of carbon
over dysodil coal.
White-Coal. White-coal (Fleingites' coal)
a 'variety of recent deco,mposed carbonifer­
should in all instances apply to such coals
as have a partial loss of hydrogen and car·
bon by chemical change or alteration.
Steam-Coal. Generally used for locomo­
tion steam production; sometimes classi­
fied as anthracite; hydrocarbon prac.ucally
eliminated by change or alteration chemi­
cally destroyed by compression.
Coke. Nature.! coke is more solid, and
compact than atrificial coke. An impure
variety of amorphous carbon containing
earthy materials, generally sulphur. A por­
ous l>UlOG.tance, will float on water, has a
specific gravity, when saturated, of 1.65 ttl
1.95. Natural coke, containing a greater
quantity' of impurities is, by use, replaced
almost entirely by artific:al coke; being
also an amorphous carbon. But by burn­
ing to iltS afltificial state, from bituminous
coals, impurities and sulphur have been eli­
minated. It is porous and will float on
water until saturated, then it sinks; spe­
cifiC gravity about 1.8. In the creation of
coal-gas dt is the residue after all gas has
been distilled from the coal. As it produces
an intense heat, by rapid ignition, when
burnt, and gives off no smoke or gas. it !s
much used in smelting of ores and in all
chemical laboratories, in analyzing by fire.
Coal-Naphtha. Coal-naphtha is obtained
by the distillation of coal-tar. being an
oily Liquid (commonly classified as ben­
zole). It is purified by agitating with
cresols; than rectified, by which it is sep­
arated into a heavy ore, contain.ing much
naphtholene. and a liquid which is purified
by agitation with sulphuric acid and redi­
stilled; by fractional distillation it first
yields a mixture of benzine and carbon­
disulphide and olefin.es, etc., at 80 0 chIefly
benzine C"H., about 113° toluene, at 142 0
xylene, and at 170 0 impure cumene.
Kreasote. (Creasote) obtained by the
distillation of coal- tar or wood-tar (crea­
so.tum). It is a colourless liquid, with a
strong empyreumatic odor, when distilled
from wood-tar; but a dark sticky sub­
stance, with a fetid odor, when distilled
from coal-tar. A powerful antiseptic sol­
uble in water, alcohol and glacial acetic
acid, it coagulates albumen, and turns the
plane of polarization of a ray of polarized
light to the light. Is used to preparemis·
smoky flame.
Coal-Ammonia. By the distillation of
coal-tar, often gas is given off, which also
carries a certain amount 'Of ammonia;
water containing ammoniacal salts is nex..
relieved, from this product, the greatest
amount of the ammonia used commercially
is secured; especially from coal containing
approximately two per cent of nitrogen,
Ammonia is formed by the action of nas­
cent hydrogen or dilute nitric acid. Am­
monia gas may be prepared by heating to­
gether one part of ;'I<H.C1 with two parts
by weight of quicklime, and collected over
mercury. Ammonia is variously used; ex·
tensively in chemicals, ore testing, com·
merciaU;V, and in medicine asstimulams,
and antacid; externally as a rubefacient
and vesicant. Has many substitution com·
pounds.
Dead-Oil. (Kreasote) (from coal-tar).
Same as kreasote being a heavy oU; ob­
tained in the distillation of coal-tar; con·
tains phenol, cresol, aniline, naphthalene

The mines are located in Smiley gulch,
and about sixteen mfles northwesterly over
the grade from Galena. The gulch was
named by L. Smiley, an old 'prospector fron.
Yankee Fork who discovered the Solace
lode in 1880. This he sold to Haggin &
Teyis of San Francisco that, next to the
great bonanza firm on the Comstock lode,
was then the leading mining firm of the
world. The Solace and !twelve other ad·
jacent claims were patented and operated
at a p,!'ofit for some y·ears, during which
Haggin & Tevis dissolved partnership, Mr.
T'evis taking over Walls Fargo and the firm's
banking interests, and Mr. Haggin and
Goorge Hearst the Homesteak mines in the
Black Hills, the Ontario mines in Mexico,
the Jocuiseta mlnes in Mexico, and other
mining interests in California, in Idaho and
elsewhere.
John BenaJi Haggin being una,ble to find
successful managers for some of his prop­
erties concluded to discontinue operations
in them. The Solace mines was one of
these. After paying taxes for some years
he allowed them to be sold for delinquency.
Shortly after the discovery of the Sol­
ace, the Vienna, the Mountain King, ana
.several other mines were located on eit.her
side of Smiley gulch, and in 1882-3 C.

IN ELDORADO CANYON.
A Nelson, Nevada, correspondent of the
Searchlight Bulletin, says:
In reply to YOUr favor o,f recent date I
can state that the outlook here in the
canyon has improved remarkably In·the last
week or so. Several properties are operat­
ing with' decided success, and their suc­
cess is stimulating all of us tQ more strenu·
oue efforts,
QUite a bit of interest attaches to the
little cyanide plant on the Skylark. Thir>
was built entirely by one prQspector, Clark
Alvord, and has been so satisfactory in it3
operation that it is about to be increased to
an estimated five-tQn capacity.
Louis McCartney has ordered an experi·
mental plant and hopes to jOin the march
of success,as he has quite a little high·
grade to run on his property near the Rand
mine_
Tex Eavens is figuring on installing a
cyanide plant similar to Clark Alvord's to
treat a bunch of ore on his claims adjoin­
ing the WaH Street mine.
By far the most important news which
Ihas thrilled us for a long time is the
phenomenal success which is attending Har­
ris and Howe in the ope.ration of their lease
on <the Fortuna. They have drifted both
east and west frQm the main shaft on the
150-level, and the ore bQdy is bigger and
richer than ever. They have nQW ready to
ship .albout two car loa-ds of truly high·grade
horn·sllver ore. Specimens are evident in
every bunch of ore that is being sorted­
specimens wherein mQst of the mass is ~i\­
ver chlQrlde. These lucky partners can
easily ship one, If not more; cars of high­
grade every week. They are anxiously wait­
ing for the county commissioners to rebuild
the road over the falls in EldQrado Can·
yon, it having been completely washed away
at that point by a recent cloud·burst.

The Prospector
and His Burro
(By Will C. Higgins.)
"The thermometer is hot at me," said
the prospector tQ his burro. 'and SQ I have
selected thIs CQol and shady spot where
we can enjoy our evening meal segregated
from its implacable and grizzling influence.
As a matter of fact, I hardly dare to 10Qk
it in the face, for the climbing mercury
is a ,cQnstant reminder to me of my In­
consistency, as this is just the kind of
weather I was praying for all winter, and
which I am now trying to evade; which
shows that mankind is mostly damphool a
good deal of the time, and prac-tically irre­
sponsible and evasive for the rest of it;
just as is the case with the burro tribe.
Of cQurse, I know that you feel a little
hurt over the reference I have made as
to the general characterist:cs of a burro, but
you will get over the smart the first time
you meet with that outlaw donkey which
hangs around our camp, fO.r, if there is any
thing that does away with that tired feeling
we have on these hQt days, it is when we
thInk we are having a good 'time.
"Another thing to make one forget the
heat," continued the prospector, "is to mak..
a rich discovery unexpectediy, similar to
the one I made in Hell Gap canyon a few
years ago. It was jnst such another torrid
day in August tl1at I was prospecting in

that the lateral work on the 300·foot level
will result in the interception of large ore­

Upon his return from -the east within
the next few wee,ks, S. H. Brady, of Tonopah,
will resume op.erations on the Great West·
ern mine, in the Ho.rnsilver distrIct" south
of Goldfield, the control of which he and
his associates recently acquired. The Great
Western ha.~ been extensively developed
and has already to its credit shipments of·
ore ~xceeding $125,000 in value. There is
at present a great tonnage of pay ore in
sight on the various levels, which warrant
the prediction that the resumption of oper·
ations will be followed by a steady pro·
ducLion of ore that will not only add to the
laurels of the property but give a (!eclded
impetus to operations throughout the Horn·
silver district and C{)ntiguo\li~ country. Mr.
Brady has purchased a mill in the Bullfrog
district and workmen are at present en·
gaged in dismantling (t for removal to. the
Hornsilver district. He has also purchased
water rights, located about twelve miles
distant from the Great Western, and the
laying of a pipe·line to '3upply water to the
mill will probablY be started within the
next few weeks.

RICH STRIKE IN FORTUNA.
(Bulletin, Searehlight, Nev.)
The talk of the week has been the
great strike by Howe and Harris in th€
Fortuna, in Eldorado canyon, of which de­
tails were given in last week-s Bulletin.
The are that is now being hauled to the
Santa Fe station here, for shipment to
the International smelter, Utah, is a sH­
vel' ehloride running into the hundreds in
value.
Visitors are n'Ot permitted to enter the
underground workings, but the size of the
dump and the daily additions to it are the
basis of the keen general interest and the
oft-repeated statement that these lucky
leasers in the past fortnight have taken out
more strietly high-grade ore than hereto­
fore known elsewhere in th!s section.
The force consists of six men and the
extract:on is e·stimated at three and one­
half tons and upward per day. Reeently
development has been started 30!) feet east
of the shaft, in a small gulch, where a crop­
ping of the ore from the main drift was
found. Th€ work here not only represents
a gain In depth of about 100 feet, but gives
well-night positive assuranee of the con­
tinuaUon of the rich are shoot to that
point.
A sample of the are in question ii! in
