Several of the good properties owne,
by Eastern companies lay idle mos
Of the time. while others made n'
progress AT all. The Gilmore Com
pany did considerable prospecting
and lately let contract for sinking
their shaft 200 feet farther. Thi:
work will go on the present winter
carrying the shaft down to 700 feet
after which there will be cross cut.
+! ting and the running Of levels. The
mill was run for time on Flmore
ore, since which it has been run t.
the extent Of twenty stamps on
Vishnu ore.
The Vishnu is operated through
the Gilmore shaft, having been CON
nccted Herewith. The Vishnu is
reported to- be doing well, and the
mine as being in good condition.
These companies both being foreign.
we are not able to get the amount Of
product of bullion and ore crushed
Jacob Reeser kept his ten.stamp
custom mill running most Of the
time, and the output must have
been quite large, SINCE the mill was
run day and night portion of the
year.
There are many good claims
around Rocky Bar which capital
would make large producers.
Atlanta shipped considerable high
grade ore, part in concentrates pro-
duced by a small mill there. This
old and once noted camp has pros
pect of soon becoming a live.v place
again. 1t has long been waiting for
capital to develop its big lodes on
such a scale as will make them
profitable, and il is understood that
such capital is about to enter the
camp and bring about a better con-
dition of affairs.
PINE GROVE.
Some years ago Pine Grove start
cd out with brilliant prospects, and
for a time was quite lively. Unfor-
tunately, inexperienced men and
companies got control of the gold
and silver lodes, and not only made
errors in mining but. worst Of all,
put in machinery for the free mill
ing of geld ores, when that class Of
machinery and process was not
what was required. This mistake
of course resulted in failure and the
tying up of the properties in such
manner as to keep others out. This
condition Of affairs, far too common
to new mining camps, has about
had its run, and now the district
has begun to revive. The mines
owned by the St. Louis company
are to be developed, and so is the
Andreas property, while on the OPP
posite side Of the river number Of
new mines are being opened.
CAMP WOODROW.
The new camp on High prairie,
where the Jumbo mine is located,
promises TO become active soon.
The Jumbo, a great. big gold and
silver vein, has been lately sold. and
it will be developed this year quite
extensively, 80 say the company.
SMOKY DISTRICT.
Notwithstanding the many draw
backs, the heavy deductions on ores
from the Smoky district in the
the high freights, low price
Of silver. etc, the Smoky mines con-
linue to produce ores Of a grade that
will stand all these deductions and
leave fair profit for the producers.
The mines of the district are mostly
worked under lease, the Carrie
Leonard gronp having been leased
IN sections to three separate parties.
The Isabella, Sunday, Galore, Ty.
rannus and Flagstaff mines are also
icing worked under lease, and have
Ill shipped more or less orc this
season. Other mines are being
worked by original owners and stock
companies. the King Of the West
.aking the lead for the number of
non employed and the important
development work being done. Re-
emily the company held a meeting
n Salt Lake City and decided to
'csumc work on the mine after il
,ad been partially suspended for
light months. The mine has since
,een drained and work is going
head at the point and below where
/ was left off when n shutdown was
'rdered nearly year ago, and they /
rope 10 make the mine a producer
gain ere long.
