Mail Tribune 100: May 3, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 3, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 3, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News May 3, 1916 OPP MINE TAILINGS TO BE WORKED OVER Spokane parties have leased the tailings of the Opp mine, near Jacksonville, and will at once install the new oil flotation process to save the gold. The gold found in the Opp mine is very fine. By the flotation process it is said that 90 percent of it can be recovered as against about 50 percent by any other process. This process is being adopted extensively in the large properties of other districts. New machinery will be installed in the Opp mine, increasing the output of 25 or 30 tons a day to 200 or 250 tons a day. It is understood that this machinery and other equipment are on the way to the mine now. Mr. Downey, a mining man of Spokane, is here attending to preliminary arrangements for the installing of the new process. FIRE DESTROYS BRACKINBREED HOME Fire at 2:15 this morning destroyed the pretty cottage home of Mr. and Mrs. Alan Brackinbreed on Dakota avenue. Loss of home and contents is total, covered by insurance of $3000. Cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Carkin, a neighbor, discovered the flames and sent in the alarm. The department responded very promptly, making a quick run to the scene of the trouble, but everything was as dry as tinder and such progress had been made in enveloping the house in flames that nothing could be saved. Mr. and Mrs. Brackinreed were awakened by the fire whistle and Mr. Carkin. They barely had time to escape with a part of their apparel. Carl Y. Tengwald, representing the Alliance Insurance company, and the McCurdy agency, representing the California Insurance company, carried the policies on the property. At 3:15 this morning another alarm called the department to North Peach street, where a coal oil stove had exploded. No damage was done, however. LOCAL AND PERSONAL J. T. Pastley, of San Francisco, is looking over the valley for a few days in the interest of commission houses of that city. His business will be largely with fruit men.
