PAINTING: "THE LURE" HOW TRUE IT IS TMJ 10 30 1932

“THE PROSPECTOR AND HIS BURRO” ON PROGRAM AT MINING DINNER
Everyone who is familiar with the writings of the late Will C. Higgins, founder of the Salt Lake Mining Review, recalls his stories of “The Prospector and His Burro” which used to appear regularly in that publication. In fact, prospectors and burros have long been recognized as the vanguard of early mining in the Western states, and have thus become the subjects of stories and of pictures.

It is of interest, therefore, to note that the picture here reproduced, was painted in 1912 by an artist then living in Seattle, and that the original is owned by Percy E. Wright, a consulting engineer, whose home is in that city. The picture, as autographed by the artist, Will Mellen, is called “The Lure,” and in the original, the colors and the shadows of the Arizona sunset are beautifully brought out, as are also the yuccas and other vegetation such as the desert affords.

The artist’s ideas for this and for other subjects depicting mining were gained while he was working in the mines, and on mining surveys.

At a dinner given on September 18 by Capt. John C. Benson, president of the Cherokee Development Company, of Angels Camp, California, in honor of his son, John F. Benson, Secretary, and Resident Manager of the company, this picture was used on the front cover of a very attractive program, the cover being in gold, and under the picture were the words:
“The days of old, “The days of gold, “The days of forty-nine…”

There were more than fifty invited guests at this dinner, which was held at the New Washington Hotel, these guests being principally local people who are interested in the Cherokee company, the men, their wives, and their daughters attending. Those from California, were John F. Benson, wife, and little daughter, from Angels Camp; and Mrs. Parry Small, of San Francisco.

Of the Cherokee organization, those on the program were Capt. John C. Benson, President; Carl M. Johanson, vice-president; John F. Benson, secretary and resident manager; and Percy E. Wright, consulting engineer, Seattle; and B. H. Bennetts, metallurgist, Tacoma, the latter being chairman of the North-Pacific Section of the A. I. M. & M. E.

Mining on the California Mother Lode, and recent developments in gold mining and metallurgy, were the subjects discussed.

Col. Robert M. Watkins of the Cherokee organization, Seattle office, acted as toastmaster.

OCEANSIDE, CA SILICA SAND PROD TMJ 6 30 1930
J. A. BENELL DIRECTS CRYSTAL SILICA SAND OPERATIONS

Click to see full size image

Combination of circumstances, coupled with ability, experience, and a great deposit of native material, are given by J. A. Benell, president, as important factors in the outstanding success of the Crystal Silica Sand Company of Oceanside, California. In the face of difficult problems, such as a limited supply of water, the company chose 100 acres, estimated to contain 15,000,000 tons of sand, built a complete modern plant, and developed a water supply that with conservative use, is expected to be ample, even for the proposed plant expansion for glass sand.

The finished sand product runs about 96 per cent silica, the remainder being principally feldspar, and will make all ordinary kinds of glass, including “Dutch Flint.” It is also used for mineral wool, waterproofing concrete, and for blast, filter, stucco, and molding sand. Belgian sand sells for $5.80 a ton, in Los Angeles, with all charges paid, and eastern sands of the best grade sell for $11 per ton.

Mr. Benell was born in Gosport, Indiana, and in that state, he received his education from different schools and colleges. During the first 15 years of his business life, he was in railroad work, including the phases of construction, operation and traffic, while the next 10 years were spent in automobile manufacturing, and distribution, as well as in foundry, and metal trades, at various Indiana plants. Thus he received a thorough business background for the eight years, just passed, which have been spent in California, at industrial and survey development, management and financing, including three years directing activities of the Crystal Silica Sand Company. At present, Mr. Benell is associated with the industrial department of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and is doing laboratory and survey work in the non-metallic field, in development of industrial production balances in the Pacific Southwest. This last named activity is in fulfillment of one of his ambitions,

Technical papers on silica, articles on industrial subjects covering plant facility, mechanical setup, and financing structures, have been written at different times by Mr. Benell. Among his hobbies, he includes specialties in the technical field, as well as a sincere liking for the outdoors and athletics. He is a member of the Southern California Athletic Club, the Los Angeles Athletic Club, the City Club, the Casa del Mar Club, the Manufacturers and Industries Committee, and the Masonic Organization.

He is married to Georgia Hanch, and is the father of a 14-year-old son, John T. Benell

Engineering at the University of Wyoming

By J. R. GUTIERAS, Professor of Mining Engineering, University of Wyoming, Laramie, Wyoming.

With its enormous reserves of coal, petroleum, metallics and non-metallics, Wyoming is
especially interested in the activities of its College of Engineering.

Contrary to many mining schools, we have no mine in which the students learn the fundamentals of underground surveying. Instead, we use our net work of steam tunnels connecting the various campus buildings.

The old Round Mountain town was moved, as the pit ate up most of the original townsite. The whole deposit geology has feeds into the Manhattan, Mt Jefferson, and area mining districts.

The company had just started pit development in 1983, after eradicating what was once round mountain. The site where the round mountain was, is now a sizeable hole.

In 1983, small nuggets were occasionally being picked up, and the operation was mostly a hit and miss gig, with several corporate sell offs and turnovers. Gold was there, but it took quite a bit of investment on milling and leaching equipment. and a steady eddie to keep working on the site, testing and exploring. apparently it all paid off.

while it's not too likely that you alls will find something in the wash of this magnitude, the whole area has a lot of gold history, and maybe you'll make out too, while on the off beaten track.
