A sharp price rise in the quicksilver market gave a new impetus to the venture when the European war broke out and now the Almaden mines, developed by L. K. Requa, veteran Santa Barbara mining engineer, are producing an estimated 400 pounds of pure quicksilver a day. The current market price of the' metal is $142 for a flask of 76 pounds. National production last year was only 1,500 flasks. New uses are found for the metal in manufacturing arms of war, and production will be increased as the price rises. Finds Ore on Penny's Feet. Andy Little, young sheepherder with a flair for mining, chased a lost sheep across the sagebrush-covered mountains 20 miles west of Weiser in 1936 and noticed an outcropping* of reddish ore at his pony's feet. He came back the next year and staked out 18 claims. Requa visited the area on one of his periodic tours of western mining districts and examined the sheepman's cinnabar stake. He leased the property for 20 years with an option on further leasing, formed a fompany, set up a plant and began production this summer. The venture is a closed corporation and no stock is sold. Requa believes the mountainside on which the mine is located is a solid mass of mercury in opalite and phyolite forms, left by an old lake bed. Cinnabar is an ore mineral that occurs in both beddecf and vein deposits. Plant Is Up-to-Minute. The plant is the latest metallurgical science has produced. The ore is roasted in a kiln at 1,500 degrees and the mercury passes off in the form of a vapor to be condensed in 12 tubes, 30 feet high. The mercury is drawn off at the bottom into buckets and placed in flasks, ready for shipment. The mine is an open pit operatiqp. -The ore is blasted out of th^ hillside, tons at a time, and rolled in cars along a narrow-gauge track to a bin-, attached to a long conveyor belt. The belt carries the ore to a crusher arid thence to a kiln where it is roasted. Enough ore is present to last an indefinite period. Production is going ahead now at the rate of approximately 45 tons a day with a top capacity of 50 tons possible. Between five and fifteen pounds of mercury are recovered per ton of ore. Sixteen mer^are employed in the plant. Other deposits of cinnabar were located in Valley, Blaine, Custer and Cassia counties but they never have been worked commercially.
