The cres in West mountain min

galena, carbonstes and sulphurets of
lead, oxides of copper, ruby silver
and free gold. The latter is found in
the alluvium and occasionally in
small quantities with the ores.
The impurities in these ores are
pyrites of iron, pyrites OF copper,
decomposed pyrites. oxide OF iron and
arsenic. The percentage OF the orS
varies from II to 120 ounces in silver
from trace to $50 in gold and from
80 to to 80 per cent. OF lead per ton
THE PRINCIPAL MINES.
The Old Telegraph, comprising The
No You Don't, Nez Perces Chief
Montreal and Grecian Bend mines
This mine could at present be the
most productive. The vein ia 81
places over forty five feet wide. pre-
senting a solid breast OF ore. Th'
mine produces at present, with 1
force of twenty men, twenty tons o
ore daily. The production could cas-
lily be raised to triple that amount
The timbering of the mine is all tina
it could possibly be. The creates
depth attained is 400 feet. Jordan il

by the same company aa the Ole
Telegraph in the past. This mine i:
very extensively developed and has
produced great quantities of ore.
Revere, situated easterIy OF the
Old Telegraph and working on the
same vein. has attained a depth o.
over 500 feet on the vein. Eight
levels have been run east and west.

low grade ore arein sight. The mine
for the last year has produced at an
average twenty five to thirty tons oil
ore per day, and produces now with
twelve men about fifteen tons daily;

ings works. consisting of six furnaces
and concentrating works, situated
on the Jordan river near the junction
of the Utah Central with the BiDg
ham Canyon railroad. The company
has at the mine steam saw mill.
Yosemite. situated east OF the Re-
we're. produces, with force OF thirty
five men, about 900 tons OF o e per
month. The mine is largely devel-
oped. The ore averages 80 per cent.
OF lead and 20 ounces o.. silver per
ton.
Spanish, situated between the Jor-
dan and Old Telegraph; this mine
has produced large quantities of ore
and is developed by about $4,000 feet
of tunnels, drifts. inclines and slopes.
The ore is concentrated at the mine.
Neptune and Kempton, situated
southwesterly of the Jordan. These
mines are developed by about $4,000
feet of inclines, tunnels and drifts.
The main tunnel is over 600 feet long
and connected by long level On the
vein with the main incline which is
over 400 feet deep. The mine has
produced in the past large quantities
of ore and produces st present the
finest and best ore of the district.
