Town Is Startled by Terrific
Explosion.
Colonia Dublan March 25. A falling
meteor startled the town. A flash of
light an explosion- that rattled -windows
in houses many miles away; and all
was over and the people were left to
draw their own conclusions. Many
persons happened to be outside when
the exceeding brightness of the Clash
of light caused them to look for the
cause and they had plenty of time to
see the beautiful phenomenon before
the explosion.
More fallen meteors on exhibition in
the City of Mexico have been picked
up in the.state of-Chfuahua ?than in any
other state.
The two little children of Tien Paynes
who have been sick are improving.
Many peons with their red blankets
over their shoulders came trudging
into town. They have quit work on the
construction of the railroad and are
on their. way home.
Cattle in the Dublan -pasture are
very poor. They have been turned into
another pasture where the feed is bet
ter.

formerly of El Paso came down with
measles -while caring for her children.
She has been very sick. Her life was
despaired of for several days but she
seems to be Improving a little now.
Her husband was caiiled nome from EI
Paso because of her illness.
A matched game of basketball be-
tween the Dublan and Juarez seventh
grade pupils resulted in a victory for
the Dublan boys. The game was played
in Colonia Dublan. Later the Dublan
boys went to Juarez to try the game
again and the Juarez boys were the
victors.

MEN BADLY-BRUISED
IX SEVENTH STREET BRAWL
Four men are in the city jf.il charged
with assault and fighting -and two
charged with simple fighting as the re-
sult of '& drunken brawl on Seventh
street Thursday afternoon. Anselmo
and Pablo Parra who are charged with
fighting were terribly beaten by the
Bryan K. Morse mining engineer
formerly superintendent of the Ortega
Mining companyl of Cananea Mexico
who has been In the city a few weeks
left for Bisbee today. He spent eight
months last year in the famous Cobalt
mining district Ontario Canada in
geological and mineralogical examina-
tions and furnishes the following ex-
cerpts from his notes on observations in
various localities of that district which
will be of great Interest to all mining
men of the southwest as showing the
conditions existing and methods used in
that district.
Describes Formations.
The country rocks of the proved bo-
nanza circle of the silver deposits of
the Cobalt and South Lorrain camps
are all Pre Cambrian and are classified
in three series: First. Keewatin; second
Huronian; third diabase and Gabbro.
The oldest series in the district con-
sists of an ingenous complex which con-
tains diabases and related rocks of dif-
ferent periods of eruption together with
granite porphyry and other ingneous
material. Sediments are represented by
the jasper iron ores. The basis rocks
or greenstones occur in much larger
volume than do those of a more acid
character. The name Keewatin is ap-
plied to this series The ore deposits
appear to occur only in the diabases and
greenstones.
The Keewatin has been subjected to
folding and other disturbances and Is
cut through by medium to coarse
grained granite especially in the town-
ship of Lorrain to which the name of
Laurentian is applied. The Keewatin
rocks however have been folded be-
fore the intrusion of the Laurentian
granite.
Cobalt In Huronian.
The second series is the Huronian
After the Laurentian Intrusions the
surface was subjected to erosion and
these jocks together with the Keewatin
were worn down. This period of erosion
was a long one and the surface was
rendered uneven being cut into hills
and valleys. Government geologists
are rather inclined to the belief now
that the lakes were formed by glaciers.
The oldest fragmental materiaa. which
lies directly on the eroded Keewatin
and Laurentian surface consists of
conglomerate greywacke slate and im-
pure quartzites. These rocks contain
fragments of the granite greenstones
diabases and other representatives of
the older series and their relationship
to the latter is quite easily proved by
contacts in quite a number of locali-
ties. This older or lower Huronian is
of special interest since it contains most
of the cobalt-silver veins.
The association of the members of
the lower Huronian is somewhat vari
able. There is usually a little coarser
material conglomerate at the base. This
is frequently followed by considerable
thickness of well banded greywacke
slate. The slate in many cases passes
gradually upward into a feldspatchic . struction
or impure qua.rLziie wiimu is sutceeucu
by a coarse conglomerate. The upper
parf of the conglomerate is undoubtedly
younger than the more slaty members.
Slate Conglomerate.
The breccia and conglomerate of the
lower JIuronian are what were called
by Logan and others slate-conglomer-
late a name which well describes the
varieties possessing a slate-like base
through which are set pebbles and
boulders. The veins cut through all
these series but the most productive
parts of the veins are usually in rocks
which contain more or less coarse frag-
ments. The series of arkoses or what have
been catlled by some writers sea-green
quartzites togethtr with conglomerate
and quartzites of the township of Lor-
rain form another series in the Huron-

Huronian
Diabases and Gabbro.
The third series is Diabase and Gab-
bro. These rocks refer to tne post Up-
per Huronian intrusions of the diabase.
The two terms are employed in the
canip .to distinguish between 'the fine
and coarse grained. Diabases repre-
sent several periods of eruption. Kee-
watin to post middle Huronian are
found in the field and is very difficult
to distinguish them. The diabases of
the post upper Huronian are mucu
fresher in appearance and coarser In
grain than those of a similar compo-
sition which occur in the early series
and can thus be readily distinguished in
che field from the latter.
In many cases where associated with
the Huronian the diabases seem to be
In the iorm of sheets or sills spreading
between or over the layers of the rocks
through which they cut. They show no
evidence such as amygdaloid texture
of being surface flows. It is generally
conceded that the fractures and -fissures
now occupied by tne silver bear-
rtng veins were dause3 by the in-
trusions of the diabase and other dis-
turbances following same.
Since the eruption of the diabase the
area has been subjected to great de-
nudation. The surface has been cut
into hills and valleys and the geologi-
cal map shows a patchwork of Kee-
watin .Huronian and Diabase together
with glacial and recent deposits.

Work at the Mines.
At the mines without mills the grada
of ore Is raised by cobbing washing
and hand picking. The ore is usually J
first passed over "a grizzly or coarse
screens as the screenings generally
carry enough value to be of shipping
grade without further treatment.
At the Kerr Lake mine the tailings
from the sorting tables run on an aver-
age of about five ounces of silver to
the ton. "With the smelter schedules
and freight rates at present in force an
ore must run about 45 ounces per ton
to pay charges outside of the cost of
mining. All ores below this point must
therefore be concentrated If they are to
be shipped.
The point at which the combined con-
centration and smelting rates meet the
direct smelting rates is aDout 90 ounces.
If however a mine ownsjts own mill
the grade of ore that can be concentrat-
ed more profitably before shipping to
the smelter direct is much higher. In
the future if present conditions hold
it will be natural to expect that very
Utile ore will be shipped from the
camp that will assay less than 100 sil-
ver per ton. There are at present seven
mills in the camp and five under con-
The average concentration
ratio is 45 into one. The costs of mill-
ing runs from $1.25 per ton to $2.50.

lows: Crushers rolls trommels jigs

A LITTLE THISTG
Changes the Home Feelings
Coffee blots out the sunshine from
many a home by making the mother or
some other member of the household
dyspeptic nervous and Irritable. There
are thousands of cases where the proof
is absolutely undeniable. Here is one.
A "Wis. mother writes:
"I was taught to drink coffee at an
early age and also at an early age be-
came a victim to headaches and as I
grew to womanhood these headaches
became a part of me as I was scarcely
ever free from them.
"About five years ago a friend urged
me to try Postum. I made the trial and
the result was so satisfactory that we
have used it ever since.
"My husband and little daughter were
subject to bilious attacks but they
have both been entirely free from them
since we began using Postum instead
of coffee. I no longer have headaches
and my health is perfect."
If some of these nervous tired irrita-
ble women would only leave off coffee
absolutely and try Postum they would
find a wonderful change in their life.
It would then be filled with sunshine
and happinesss rather than wearlnes
and discontent. And think what an ef-
fect it would have on the family for the
mood of the mother is largely respon-
sible for the temper of the children.
Head "The Road to Wellvllle" in
pkgs. "There's a Reason."
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine true and full of human
Interest.
The mines at present are not receiv-
ing payment for cobalt nickel or ar-
senic. The cost sheet of one of the prin-
cipal mines is as follows:
Cost of production operation $105.46
per ton .13011 per ounce.
Depreciation $13.03 per ton .01607
per ounce.
Marketing ore $51.02 per ton .06294
per ounce.
Corporation legal $6.50 per ton
.00S03 per ounce. '
Less Income $8.10 per ton .01 per
ounce.
Total $167.91 per ton .20715 per
ounce.
The above details include every item
chargeable to production. A depre-
ciation of 24 percent on plant and build-
ings is charged against the working
costs. In the marketing cost is in-
cluded the value of the smelting de
duction that Is. the difference between
the total contents of the ore and the
percentage paid by the smelter.
During the year 10000 feet of un-
derground work was done through 12
shafts and two tunnels and 40000
feet of surface trenching chargeable
against production.
Profit on Production.
The profit on production was as fol-
lows: Gross value of ore 100 percent
total cost of production 39.42 percent;
profit on production paid In divid-
ends 60.58 percent. The cost of pro-
ducing silver ranges from 5 1-4 per
ounce to 21c the average of the camp
being about 15 c per ounce.
The deepest workings of the camp
are at present 500 feet with high grade
values continuing and the future of the
district in both high grade and milling
ores is very bright.
The total production to date has
amounted to nearly $30000000. The
ore Is native silver occurring as
sheets and pockets and with the arsen-
ides of cobalt and nickel. The pay
chutes are from 20 to 1000 feet long.
Many carloads of ore shipped from
the camp have run In the neighborhood
of $100000 per car.
The ores are shipped to the Anglo-
French Nickel company the Swansea-
Wales the American Smelting Refin-
ing company Perth-Amboy N. J. and
Denver. Colo. the Carnegie Smelting
company Carnegie Pa. the Beer Sond-J
helmer company of Hamburg Germany
the International Nickel company and
the Canadian Copper company at Cop-
per Cliff Ontario Canada.
Costs Greater There.
The costs of mining in the Cobalt dis-
trict are much higher than in the south-
western country. There is a great vari-
ation In the camp in the cost of under-
ground work due apparently to the fact
that comparatively few of the miners
are skilled. For instance in one of the
principal mines two drifts were run
from a 100-foot level in diabase rock.
One cost $4.25 per foot and the other
$12 per foot. This difference was
caused by the fact that the miners in
the first drift were skilled machine men
and the others were not.
Drifting underground management
etc. included costs from $12.50 to $2h
per' foot; shaft sinking 4x9 in the
clear from $20 to $50 per foot. In drift-
ing no timber is necessary as the
ground stands; In shaft sinking tim-
bering Is compulsory by law. i
