EDWARD L. SWEENEY
What does it cost to build a mill? That question has been asked so often that Edward L. Sweeney, consulting and construction engineer of Phoenix, Arizona, has written an article to give to mine operators an outline of the actual costs involved in the construction and operation of a representative flotation plant. The article is of special value, for it has been prepared by an engineer, who has no machinery to sell, or special process, to adapt to various ores. The mill described was actually built, a careful check made of all costs, and detailed records kept.
“Pat” Sweeney, Mr. Sweeney, or “Pat,” as he is known to all of his friends, brings to his present consulting work a wide range of experience. The early years of his mining work were spent in the Pacific Northwest, where he moved often with the idea of gaining wider experience, and supplementing his college training with actual work in the field. The years 1916-1920 were spent with the Kennecott Copper Corporation at its Alaska plants, first as chemist, then plant foreman, then metallurgical superintendent of plants, consisting of flotation, ammonia leaching, and gravity concentration. In 1921 he joined the staff of the United Verde Copper Company at Jerome, Arizona, serving as chief chemist, and in charge of leaching work. Since 1925 he has been engaged in independent work, especially in the design and construction of metallurgical plants.
Some of the most interesting pieces of recent construction in the Southwest, have been handled by Mr. Sweeney. At present, he is erecting the flotation plant for the United Verde Extension Mining Company at Clemenceau, Arizona. In April of this year, he completed the construction of the flotation plant erected by the American Smelting and Refining Company, at its Swansea Lease, handling this entire job in less than 100 days.
Other projects with which he has been actively connected are: The Davis-Dunkirk Mines, Inc., Slate Creek, Arizona, where mine, mill, and entire camp construction, were completed within four months’ time. He erected the plant for Central Copper Company at Dos Cabezas, the Sonora Development plant at Congress, the design and consulting work on milling for the Three H Mine, test work, plant design and now construction of the 600-ton leaching plant for Hammond Copper Company of Kirkland. He is consultant for Davis-Dunkirk Mines, Inc., Compania Minera Cananea Anexas, S. A., Wenden Copper Company, Cia. Minera do San Carlos, and others.
Mr. Sweeney was born in Yale, South Dakota, 1888. He obtained his grammar and high school education at Tacoma, Washington. After several years in the field he attended the University of Washington, College of Mines, and was graduated from that institution, in 1915, with the degree of B. S. in mining and geology.
In 1916 he married Miss Grace M. Shaw of Ottawa, Canada, and is the father of four children, one boy and three girls. _________________ STUDY, And be FREE from the BONDS of IGNORANCE!

F. M. SMITH SUCCEEDS J. T. LUND AS PRES. NORTHWEST LEAD CO.
Of interest in mining and manufacturing circles, is the naming of Frank Marshall Smith as president of the Northwest Lead Company, which concern he has served as vice-president since 1920. His office is one of several interests. He is also director of the Bunker Hill Smelter, which supplies the lead manufactured by the Northwest Lead Company.
Mr. Smith was an eastern boy, born in Philadelphia, and educated in Brookline High School, and in the Columbia School of Mines, from which he was graduated in 1889. For a year, he was employed with the United States Geological Survey, and then came west to Pueblo, Colorado, where he was employed as assayer, and assistant superintendent of the Colorado Smelting Company, until 1898.
That year he chose a Pennsylvania girl, Miss Clara Everhart, as his bride. The same year he formed a connection with the United States Smelting company at Great Falls, Montana, which lasted until 1901. From 1901 until 1919 he was with the American Smelting and Refining Company, nearly all of this time as assistant manager, and manager, of their East Helena plant.
Then the Bunker Hill and Sullivan people presented an inviting future by offering him the position as assistant director of their smelter. The following year, he was made director of the smelter, and to the present time, has proven efficient and capable in helping solve its problems.
Mr. Smith is a member of the A. I. M. E., of the Montana Society of Engineers, and of the Associated Engineers of Spokane, where he is now living. He is a member of the Rocky Mountain Club, a Rotarian, a Mason and a staunch Republican.

NYBERG HOLDS DOS ESTRELLAS OPERATIONS AT NEAR NORMAL
H E NYBERG PIC HERE
Notwithstanding adverse conditions in the border country, and present metal prices, H. E. Nyberg, general manager for Cia. Minera Las Dos Estrellas, S. A., operating gold and silver properties at Mineral de Dos Estrellas, Michoacan, Mexico, obviously considers it a sound policy to continue work on a practically regular schedule.
The company is producing and treating approximately 2,200 metric tons of ore daily, which is at present mill capacity. The present working force totals about 8,800 men, compared with not quite 8,000 workmen employed this time last year. No doubt Mr. Nyberg’s specialty for low operating costs, with a maximum profit obtainable, and a particular aversion to waste in employment of men or material, are partly responsible for this.
The company is developing the famous old Esperanza Mine, in an attempt to obtain additional low-grade ore reserves; since that of the Dos Estrellas Mine are rapidly being exhausted. In addition to regular development and productive operations, an option has been taken on a 1,000,000-ton tailings dump, which it is proposed to treat by flotation.
First prospecting in the Dos Estrellas Mine, began in 1899, and formal mining and milling was started about 1904, since which time close to 11,000,000 metric tons of ore have been mined and milled, with a total gold production of close to 86,000 kilos, and a silver output of over
1,000,000 kilos. The lowest total operating cost was approximately six pesos per dry metric ton, a record for mining by the square set and filling method, and milling by the cyanide process.
Mr. Nyberg was born in Pueblo, Colorado—a certain number of years ago—of Swedish descent. He is a graduate of Centennial High School of Pueblo, and holds the degree of mining engineer from the Colorado School of Mines at Golden. He earned his education by hard work, having been employed as laborer, miner, mill man, engineer’s helper, and stationary engineer, in Pueblo, Victor, and Idaho Springs, Colorado.
After graduation from the School of Mines in 1905, Mr. Nyberg worked as mill man at the Magnetic Mill of American Smelting & Refining Company’s zinc plant at Pueblo, and as surveyor and mill man with the Golden Crest Mining Company at Deadwood, South Dakota, during the following year. He then accepted a position in Mexico, with the Teziutlan Copper Company, which he served both at Aire Libre, Puebla, and Los Ocotes, Oaxaca, in the various capacities of draughtsman, surveyor, assayer, chemist, chief engineer, and assistant mine superintendent. Late in 1918, he returned to the United States, and was employed by the Goldfield Consolidated Mining Company, at Goldfield, Nevada.
Mr. Nyberg entered the service of Cia. Minera Las Dos Estrellas, S. A., in September, 1914, and occupied the various positions of chief engineer, efficiency engineer, acting general manager, assistant general manager, and was finally promoted to general manager in 1921, which position he now holds. He also holds the office of geneial manager of Cia. Minera Borda Antigua y Anexas, S. A., and other subsidiary mining companies.
He is a member of the American Institute of Mining & Metallurgical Engineers, the University Club, and American Club, of Mexico City, and is also a member of the Woodmen of the World, Camp 2, of Pueblo, Colorado, Esperanza Lodge No. 11 F. & A. M. of El Oro, Mexico, and the City of Mexico Chapter H. A. M. He was elected to the exalted office of M. W. Grand Master of the M. W. York Grand Lodge of Mexico, F. & A. M., in March of last year. _________________ STUDY, And be FREE from the BONDS of IGNORANCE!

THOMAS L. CHAPMAN DIRECTS ESTELLE MINE AT KEELER, CALIF.
Vitally interested in the record of the Estelle Unit, of the American Smelting, Refining and Mining Company at Keeler, California, and of considerable importance to it, is Thomas L. Chapman, mine manager for the past seven years. He was born in Leadville, Colorado, in 1884. Specialized training for his chosen profession was received in the Colorado School of Mines, from which he obtained the degree of Engineer of Mines in 1906.
As assayer and surveyor, the first three years of his active career were spent in Goldfield, Nevada, and Rico, Colorado, while the following three years, he worked in the Independence mill at Victor, Colorado. After three years as shift foreman at the Miami Mine in Miami, Arizona, he went to Ecuador, South America, and became mine foreman of the Zaruma Mines. The six years remaining before he accepted his present position were spent as mine manager of the American Asphalt Association at Dragon, Utah, and as field engineer for the St. Joseph Lead Company.
According to Mr. Chapman, the Estelle Mine adjoins, and is being worked, through the old Cerro Gordo Mine. The ore is of direct smelting type, being silver-lead, in limestone of very uniform grade, and averages 85 per cent lead and 25 ounces silver. From 250 to 275 tons of ore are being shipped each month to the smelter, and the mine is being, systematically developed.
The District in which the Estelle Mine is situated, has numerous faults which cut off the ore bodies. A continuous study in faulting, and geological conditions, is therefore presented. Partly as a result of this problem in his work, Mr. Chapman is particularly interested in geology pertaining to ore bodies, and one of his ambitions is to continue his combination geological studies and work in geophysics.
In 1910, Mr. Chapman was married to Terese L. Harrington of Lead, South Dakota, and he is now the father of three potential mine managers, Thomas I., Jr., 16 years, Charles Edward, 14 years, and William Cullen, 12 years of age.

THE MINING JOURNAL
PHOTOGRAPH OF COMBINATION BAR SHOWS GOLDFIELD PIONEERS
Memories of the days when Goldfield, Nevada, was an unknown camp, are roused by a photograph of the famous old “Combination” Bar, and some of its habitues, which is in the possession of Arthur Thomas, a broker and mining man of Salt lake City, Utah.
Ole Elliott, owner, chief bartender, chief bottle washer, and bouncer extraordinary, stands in back of a bar of knotted, unplaned, pine, 1x12 inch planks. The top of the bar is adorned by a plank on which the name of the bar, and that of the proprietor, are scrawled in chalk. Other items of interest in the room, are the barrel stove, the nondescript collection of glasses, and whisky bottles, an alarm clock, and two boxes, which evidently are used as easy chairs. A barn lantern and a kerosene lamp, are hung from the ceiling for lighting purposes.
Although business does not seem to be rushing, the proprietor, who is now owner and manager of the Northern Hotel at Ely, is standing with his flannel shirt sleeves rolled above his elbows, and looks as though he were prepared for action. During his career as a saloon proprietor, two roughs drew guns on Ole, and threatened to kill him; through fearless action and quick shooting, they died with their boots on.
A lean and hungry appearing individual, standing at the right of Ole Elliott, is identified as the late Tex Rickard, who acquired millions, and became famous as a gambler, and prize fight promoter. He is dressed in a blue flannel shirt, black trousers held up by a wide belt, and a wide black hat is pushed back on his head. A wide sweeping mustache adorns his upper lip. Tex has just returned from Alaska.
Leaning over the counter, with his back to the camera, is “Diamondfield” Jack, a former cowboy and prospector, tried in Idaho for the murder of two sheepherders, condemned to death, but later pardoned. Al Meyers, discoverer of Goldfield, is an on-looker, while Sol Camp, and Jack Campbell, mining engineers, are seated by the side of the stove. _________________ STUDY, And be FREE from the BONDS of IGNORANCE!

Gene Heffron and her dog, Pat, who is responsible for this lead-silver discovery.
LOVE FOR DOG LEADS WOMAN TO LEAD-SILVER OUTCROPPING
Illness may be the lead to fortune if the discovery made by Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Heffron of Spokane continues to display rich values.
Some time ago this young attorney decided to camp in the mountains near Clarks Fork, Idaho, to regain his health. Tired of the idle life of camp, his wife, Gene, used to roam through the hills with a prospector’s pick, and her dog, Pat, who carried the pack. It was on Lightning Creek, about four miles north of the Whitedelf Mine, that the dog with his pack fell over a cliff, and in an effort to free himself, scratched bare an outcropping of lead-silver ore.
Mr. Heffron went on developing the showing, while his wife did some prospecting, and in all, located 10 claims, named the Gene Lee Nos. 1 to 10. Average samples of the ore mined, assayed 15.1 percent lead, and 64.7 ounces silver, and 18.6 percent lead, and 71.9 ounces silver, to the ton. A picked sample assayed 79.1 percent lead, and 288.8 ounces silver.
A trench has been run 200 feet down the hill, into the No. 10 Claim, and at the lowest place, the vein is four feet wide. A camp is being established, and a tunnel started, to open the ground, 100 feet lower than the lowest opening. The preliminary survey for a road has been completed, and the highway from Clarks Fork, the shipping and supply point, can be reached by building one mile of road. Its grade will not exceed 12 ½ percent.
The Gene Lee Mining Company has been incorporated for $500,000.

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.

TIGRE COMPANY SEEKS CONTINUATION OF FAULTED VEIN
Click to see full size image
F. W. Bailey, in complete charge of mine operations of El Tigre Mining Company, at El Tigre, Sonora, Mexico, reports the development program of that company, at a critical stage, due to faulting on the 1,600 foot Level, completely cutting off the vein. He states that there is an apparent displacement of 800 feet.
The El Tigre Company has completed a most extensive geological study of conditions in the mine, and is now doing considerable development on the west side of the fault with the hope of picking up the vein beyond the fault, and again reviving this famous old property, which has helped make mining history in Mexico.
Last month it was reported that ore reserves at the Tigre Mine had diminished to a little more than a year’s supply, at the present reduced milling rate. Under Mr. Bailey’s supervision, extensive cross-cuts are being driven east and west, from the known veins in the property, and further development is being pushed along the main and the Seitz veins. The company uses the cut and fill system of mining, and produces about 6,000 tons per month. The company’s 225-ton milling plant at El Molino, Sonora, is handling about 160 tons of ore daily.
Mr. Bailey, a graduate of the Texas School of Mines, is well able to supervise mine work at El Tigre, having devoted the past 10 years to mining in that country, most of which time was spent at Parral, Chihuahua. At Parral, he occupied the various positions of mine surveyor with Alvarado Mining & Milling Company; mill shift boss of San Patricio Mining & Milling; and assayer, mine shift boss and mine foreman with American Smelting & Refining Company. He has been with El Tigre company during the past two years.

UTAHNS DEDICATE MEMORIAL TO PIONEER IN MINING INDUSTRY
(By Gail Martin)
Utah citizens paid homage on Decoration Day, to the memory and deeds of General Patrick Edward Connor, the man who nearly seventy years ago, laid the foundations for the Utah mining industry. Like most pioneers, General Connor profited but little, by his energy and foresight. The founder of an industry that has produced to date, over $1,700,008,000 in metals, and over $350,000,000 in dividends, a veteran of three wars, and a brilliant Indian fighter, General Connor created a name for himself in the annals of western history that will not soon be forgotten.
Of the man, Judge C. C. Goodwin, one of General Connor’s contemporaries, says
in his book, “As I Remember Them”, “He was a splendid soldier, who fought in three wars. During every moment of fifty years he held his life, fortune, and sacred honor, subject to his country’s call. His best services were performed in Utah. Some men fight when they have to. Some men fight when a fight comes to them. Now and then a man goes after a fight. General Connor was of the last class.”
General Connor was born in Kerry County, Ireland, on March 17, 1820. He came to New York in 1839. Hearing of the Florida War, he enlisted in the United States Army, and served with distinction. When the Mexican War broke out, he was first a lieutenant in the Texas Volunteers, and later a captain. At Buena Vista, he was severely wounded. Nevertheless, he fought on. At night, two of his comrades had to hold him in their arms to keep him from dying of the cold, so exhausted was the lion-hearted fighter, from loss of blood.
After the war, Connor crossed Mexico, and embarked for San Francisco. He engaged in the lumber business at Stockton, California, until the Civil War broke out, when he enlisted in the Third California Cavalry, and was made a colonel. In May, 1862, he was ordered to march with 800 men to Utah.
On his arrival in Utah, he immediately recognized its possibilities for mineral production. Most of his men had mined in California. He, himself, was interested in mining. He saw the chances of building up the territory’s prosperity through the development of mining. He issued a proclamation giving every encouragement to his men to prospect for mineral wealth. The result was the discovery of Bingham, in 1863, by George Ogilvie, one of his soldiers. The finding of Ophir, Mercur, and other deposits, in Utah, and Nevada followed. General Connor himself is credited with finding the first ore in the Wasatch Mountain Range, near Alta. He built the first smelter at Stockton, so named by the general after his home town.
Moreover, he added to his renown as a fighter by defeating Chief Bear Hunter near Preston, Idaho. In a bloody engagement, 800 Indians, almost the entire enemy force, were slaughtered. Losses of the Federal troops numbered 14 soldiers killed, and 70 men wounded. In 1866, General Connor was honorably mustered out of service. During the remainder of his life, he engaged in mining. He died in Salt Lake City, December 17, 1891.
In grateful recognition of his achievements and wonderful foresight, Utah citizens united on Memorial Day, at Fort Douglas, to dedicate a memorial to General Connor. Mrs. Bartley P. Oliver of San Francisco, a daughter of General Connor, unveiled the monument, consisting of a block of unhewn sandstone, with a bronze tablet, on which was a bust of the general, and a short history of his life.
Credit for the completion of the Utah memorial, belongs largely to Colonel H. C. Price, post commandant, and Edgar M. Ledyard, president of the Utah Historical Landmarks Association, Director of the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company’s agricultural department at Salt Lake City, and editor of the company’s official safety publication, Ax-I-Dent Ax.

DEAN ROBERTS IS PRINCIPAL SPEAKER AT VARIOUS MEETINGS
Click to see full size image
Dr. Milnor Roberts, Dean of the College of Mines, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, has had a busy month of June, outside of his college work. In the early part of the month, he was in Spokane, attending a meeting of the car service division of the American Railway Association, of which he has been a member for many years.
While in Spokane, Dr. Roberts addressed the Columbia section of the A. I. M. and M. E., on the subject of “The Full Breadth of the Field of Mining Engineering,” pointing out that “a mining engineer receives a very broad training, and is able by study and practice, to conduct the various affairs of a mining company, better than a man who lacks such training and experience. Oftentimes, an engineer is called upon to examine a mine and report upon it, but thereafter large expenditures, and sometimes the operation are guided, if not actually directed, by a promoter, or a capitalist, or manager, who is not fully qualified for the duties he assumes.”
Dr. Roberts spoke again at the regular monthly meeting of the Northwest Mining Association, on June 9th, on “Keeping the Good Name of Northwest Mining.” The Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Alaska, is an integral mining territory in which some of the world’s great mining districts have been developed. In addition to these well-known camps, there are numerous individual mines that have paid handsomely, but being situated in out-of-the-way places, they have attracted little public attention. Every year new prospects are discovered, and new properties are added to the list of producers. Although the great Northwest has had some spectacular booms, beginning with the Cariboo rush of the early days, and followed by the Alaska stampedes, the region has been singularly free from large schemes of promotion that have ended disastrously. Possibly the ruggedness of the mountain regions, and the difficulties of transportation, have hindered the prowlings of wildcats.
Within the last decade, the states of Oregon and Washington have suffered to a greater degree than is generally known to the public, through the machinations of fakers, who have reported large quantities of platinum in common rocks, especially in the dark-colored igneous rocks. When the efforts of federal and state agencies, and the mining organizations, had shown the absence of platinum from these ores, the promoters borrowed from alchemy, and changed the metal content to tin. It is now the style for these people to report tin from numerous localities in the Northwest.
It is the duty of competent mining people to use every opportunity to inform the public of the true situation, and thereby prevent the diversion of capital to worthless schemes, instead of allowing its use for exploring some of the thoroughly interesting prospects that abound in the region.
Dr. Roberts is now in New York attending the meeting of the directors of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers.

STATE GEOLOGIST ANNOUNCES DISCOVERIES OF RARE METAL
The increasing use of air travel has brought new demands upon metals, that are light in weight, but strong, and no one is more eagerly searching new sources of supply, than is John G. Marzel, geologist for the State of Wyoming.
Until recently, the Black Hills deposits of beryl were said to be the largest in America, and the beryllium mined from them, was considered especially precious. Today, Wyoming claims deposits that rival those of the Black Hills, and good-sized deposits have been found in the Hartville Uplift, and in the country south of Glendo, Platte County, and in the vicinity of Lander, Fremont County. A similar mineral, lepidolite, said to be the lightest of all known metals, has been located near Lander.
Mr. Marzel was born in Euclid, Ohio, in 1883, and is an alumnus of the Case School of Applied Science at Cleveland, from which he received a B.S. in mining engineering, in 1905. The following year, he joined the force of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, at Trinidad, Colorado, and has been in the West ever since. From 1906 to 1919, he was with the United States Reclamation Service in Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas; until 1927 he was engaged in private practice as civil engineer, and geologist, at Torrington, Wyoming, and gave up his office there for the field which he is serving so well.
He is the father of three girls, Hermina, Kathryn and Dona; a member of the Torrington Lions Club; and an active worker in the Wyoming Society of Civil Engineers and in the Cheyenne Engineers Club.

W.H. EARDLEY GIVES 22 YEARS’ SERVICE TO U. S. SMELTING CO.
Probably there has never been a time when mine operators were more anxious to cut down their cost of operation, than during the depression in the metal market of the last few months. This interest is common to both the larger and smaller operators, and under the former heading, may be mentioned the flotation mill of the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining Company, at Midvale, Utah. This plant is equipped with up-to-date machinery to treat 500 tons of ore, in 24 hours, and is operated under the general supervision of Walter Hazen Eardley of Salt Lake City, who is assistant manager in charge of smelting and milling operations, for the organization.
Mr. Eardley is a native of Salt Lake City, and was educated in the Latter Day Saints College, in the University of Utah, and received his D. Sc. from the Lincoln Memorial University at Harrogate, Tennessee. He entered the employ of the smelting company in 1908, and has been with the organization ever since, with the exception of two years, 1918-1920, when he was manager of the American Metal Company, Ltd., operating in the Kansas-Missouri-Oklahoma field. His promotions passed through a cycle, from ore purchasing agent, manager of zinc smelters and mines, special investigations, consulting work in New York City, to assistant manager in charge of smelting and milling, which position he has occupied during the last eight years.
His ambition is to increase efficiency and to reduce the costs at smelters, mills and mines and to help develop new processes to attain that end. As a writer, he is credited with a number of articles on metallurgy, mining and physical chemistry, and is the author of “Priceless Pearls on Health.” The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Royal Society of Arts, in London, value him as a member.
