THE MINES At Vanderbilt
Every Indication of Increasing
Prosperity.
Two Ten-Stamp Mills Which Will
Turn Out Riches.
The First Run ct Campbairs Mill Turns
Out Well - From Shadow Mount
aims = The Boomerang.
Notes.

The following notes about the mines
are taken from the Vanderbilt Shaft:
The announcements made last fall by
A. g. Campbell and by Patton & Tag
gart, that upon the property of each a
l0-stamp mill would be erected, was
hailed with delight generally, though
many were inclined to indulge in doubt.
The arrival OF each OF the mills
strengthened faith in the promises.
Still the grumbler got in his work, how
ever, for the statement was freely made
that the mills could not work the ore.
The elimination of hope occurred. how
ever, when CampbelPs mill started Last
week, and anticipation was turned to
realization. The frat cleanup, which
occurred after a 40 hour run, resulted in
q $500 bar of gold, $50 fine. The con-
centrates for the 40 hours will weld $3.50.
The tailings went $240.
Such a result as this from the trial
run OF mill which was working on a
character OF ore entirely new to the
millman. speaks highest praise OF Chief
of Concentration Rich. This gentle
man has been putting up mills, smelt-
ers and hoists all over Utah, Colorado,
Idaho, Arizona and other states and
territories ever since 1866, but this ia his
fret campaign in Southern California.
The mill is a 10-stRmp Fraser &
Chalmers mill. The stamps weigh 750
pounds each. have a seven-inch drop,
and they drop 80 times per minute.
The mill is fitted with Evans concen-
traitors. The power is furnished by two
50-horse power boilers, and a 100-horse
power engine.
THE BOOMERANG.
W. f, McAdams, the genial foreman
OF Campbell's mines, almost tainted
away the other day when he went down
to the 160-foot level in the Boomerang
and found that a vein of rich ore, over
three feet in width, had been opened
up. The vein still continues to be of
that width. 1t is something over which
Mr.. Campbell may we'll feel pleased. for
three feet of that quality OF ore, while
not bonanza, ia next door neighbor to
it.
v. NJ. AND NJ. COMPANY.
When the main shaft OF the Bronzs
had reached point about fifty feet be-
low the lower level last week, Fore man
Sauerbrey noticed that the ore was of a
different character, and took a sDeci-
men to the surface, which. when Rs-
sayed, showed a value OF S1l17.SS per
ton. The next day he took two sam
pies, which he selected carefully In
order that he might Get only an aver.
aRe. These two samples with the other
made an average of s542.62 per ton in
gold. The character of the ore remains
unchanged.
The mill at the Bronze will be run
ming very soon.
THE ST. GEORGE.
The work of cleaning up the St.
George, in preparation for its inspection
By Mr.. Schotield. who has bond on it.,
is about done. 1t has been a long and
difficult task, and its end will not in
creaee the sorrow of anyone. 1t will be
examined Immediately upon the com
pletion OF the work.
NOTES.
Within 800 yards of the Shaft Office II
chloriders are working, and this space is
only small part of the territory COW
cred by them.
A. G. Campbell says he ia ready to
lease ground to any good man.
E. d. Mulcshy is doing good deal of
hard work on his lease, and it looka like
he would be we'll paid for it.
Eddy & More have about completed
their contract ON the Needles claim
owned by Allison Bros. Enderly and
Thomas. BY the way, this claim has
suddenly become one OF the most
promising mines in the district. At rs
feet ledge two feet in width was
opened up. the ore looking splendid. 1t
is valuable property.
