What the Miners Are Doing to
Enrich TbemseI yaN.


Enrich Themselves.
Everything at the Wales Con. hosting
works is exceedingly quiet.
The Price & Davis hosting machinery
has been taken down for removal to the
Albion works.
Thirty tons of ore shipped from the
Williamsburg mine to the Eureka Con.
furnaces realized $50 per ton.
A batch Of 80 tons of ore from the Phe-
nix mine, lately sent to the Eureka Con.
furnaces, realized $50 per ton.
The 150.foot level of the Matamoras is
looking very well. The last shipment OF
ore from that mine was over IL tons.
The north end Of the Silver Lick series
has been leased to Joe Mollno and Alex.
Frazer for the period of four months,
A casting has been made at the Rich
mond foundry to serve as a bottom for the
new water-jacket furnace to be erected.
Seven tons of ore shipped a few days ago
from the Queen mine at Sllverado to the
Eureka Con. furnaces realized 81 ,206 net.
Six tons Of ore, valued at about $3.50 per
ton, were shipped from the Mountain Boy
mine to the Eureka Con. smelters a few
days ago.
Car samples of ore at the Eureka Tun-
mel have given assays as high as Sl65 per
ton. A shipment of 60 tons worked at
the Eureka Con furnaces realized $3.50 per
ton.
Over 10 tons of ore shipped from the
Silver Conner to the Eureka Con. furnaces
realized S37 SO in silver and S53 IS in gold
per ton. 1t also contained 8 per cent Of
lead.
j. II. Maghee of New York and B, B.
Van Dusen Of Salt Lake City have been
examining the Geddos mine and mill dur
ing the past week, and pronounce them a
success.
Two men are engaged sinking a shaft on
the Eureka No. 2 mine, the property of
the Wales Con. Mining Company. There
was no sign Of ore when our reporter was
on the ground.
The Battery mine at Newark is leased to
Andy Swick d Co., who are at present
taking out a quantity of ore assaying $500
per ton. The vein is a true assure. The
rock is very hard, and the extraction Of
ore therefore expensive.
There are 20 tons of ore on the dump at
the Fair Play mine, at Alhambra Hill.
This is second class, and assays 500 per
ton. There is also one ton Of ore that will
go $500. All Of this is the simple result of
a cleanup in the old workings of the mine.
A contract has been let to run a drift in
the Paul Pry mine on Adams Hill from
he new shaft to connect with the old
works, 80 feet, at SIS per foot. The
ground is open and loose, showing fine de-
posts of low grade quartz as far as the
drift has been run.
Work is progressing at the Lantern
mine, the property of the Atlantic & Pa
citic Tunnel Company. There is a large
deposit OF ore uncovered that will work
S35 per ton. This is the kind of a mine
that would be benefited by a wagon road
ON Prospect Mountain.
The May ledge on Adams Hill has been
leased to Stewart & Co. The main shaft
is now down 100 feet, from which a drift
has been run north to the shale. There is
also a drift running south, now in 20 feet.
The ore shipped so far has paid well, Go
tons going 1913 per ton, and four tons
actually worked as high as $500 per ton.
The ore coming from this mine at present
assays 1920 gold and $40 silver.
Moline and Frazer have resumed work
on the Altoona mine on Adams Hill. The

43 feet and a crosscut east 10 feet. Over
$50 tons ore, averaging $95 per ton, and
considerable ore assaying from $3.50 to
S233, has been shipped at various times.
There is also a drift running 10 feet north
in low grade quartz toward IN old cham
Der from which the high grade ore has
come.
A great quantity Of quartz is being taken
ont of the Herculean mine, west Of and
adjoining the Silver Lick, for delivery at
the Albion furnaces, to be used as tlux.
This runs from S25 to $50 per ton, and is
mined from the grass roots downwards.
There are also rs tons OF ore on the dump,
valued at $3.50 per ton. The deepest shaft
on the Herculean is down rs feet. The
ore is coming mainly from u shaft only 30
feet deep. This is a mine of the future.
The northeast end of the Horace Toney
mine on Adams Hill, taking in 500 linear
feet on the ledge, has been leased to Chas.
Mcdonald & Co. The Horace Toney has
produced about 100 tons Of ore, running
from S15 up to S240 per ton. There are
two shafts sunk, one to a depth Of 10 feet
and the other 80 feet, the latter showing
heavy lead ore. Mcdonald has leased to
prospect for the continuation of the ore
body, now yielding we'll, in the Member
mine, and will sink a shaft within 90 feet
OF tho same.
