| Wen. instead OF q NUMBER OF the ldle
properties resuming operations, as was
promised, several of the old producers
/ have practically suspended operations.
and others will follow suit should the
conditions show no signs of improve
ment within the next few days Sew
eral of the Tintic properties closed
down for the Fourth of July and have
not resumed yet. They are not likely
to until there is some assurance that
their products can be sent out to the
smelters and to the eastern market
Among these latter is the Centennial
Eureka.
No ore is being received at the smelt-
/ rs in the valley, and in consequence
six more days of blockade will close ali
! OF the plants. The snlelter people have
considerable ore on hand. but certain
grades are running low and they do not
desire to exhaust the other classes
/ There is an abundance Of lead ores.
but q lack Of dry. MI. Hanauer stated
/ yesterday that the Hanauer would
close down at the end of the week
should the railroads still continue in
their failure to deliver ores. Mr. Jones,
! OF the Germania, made the same state
ment.
The Horn Silver is one of the first
properties to close on account of the
blockade. The order for suspension
| OF operations having just been sent out
| by Manager FarnSWOrth. The company
found it to be impossible to obtain ma
! terial or necessary supplies and the ac-
ton was necessary. In the railroad
yards in this city there are a number
OF cars of machinery and timbers for
the mine, but the railroad people re-
fuesd to send them out on the regular
trains for fear the employees OF the
road would make objections.
Silver continues to fiuctuate, although
the changes were not so marked as for
the week previous. The latest quota
ton is 623s cents. while lead is sti1
quoted at $3.10
Reports received at the local Offices
OF the Ontario are to the effect that the
usual progress was made during the
past week at the face of the drain tun-
mel. There is no noticeable change in
the How OF water or in The amount
found in the workings. Superintendent
Chambers is still on the coast, being
held there by the blockade on the
Southern Pacific
The directors of the Bullion-Beck are
again talking mill, and the prospects for
the early construction of a plant are
more favorable than ever before. The
company may join with the Mammoth
people and put in a joint pipe line from
Cherry creek. Both of these con1nanies
are turning out their regular amounts
OF ore, but how long the operations
viii be continued should the strike last.
is problematcal.
From the gold districts come thu us
ual encouraging reports, and the pro-
duction of the yellow metal is increas-
ing very rapidly. The closing Of the
Stewart for the present mas made a
considerable shortage in the total re-
ceipts of bullion, however. and it is re-
ported that the deal in connection with
this property is about to be closed.
The early resumption of opera lions
at the Dalton is promised and this an
nouncement give great pleasure to the
people of Sewer and Piute counties
The company is preparing to work the
mine on an extensive and scientific
scale and the directors are confident
of making a good showing for the pro-
perty within the next few months
The successful retortng of the
Camp Floyd district ore and the saw
ing thereby, opens up another extern
sive industry for the territory. The
metal extracted is expected to pay for
the cost of milling and treatment of
the ores. Both the Mercur and Mar
ion are now retorting their product
and effecting a considerable saving
AS direct result of the disturbed
conditions. due to the railroad strike
and the consequent tie-up, the total of
ore anu DQillON receipts Tor the past
week shows a decrease OF $4,000 over
that of the previous week. The reports
of the Utah banks give the total as
Sl10.769, and the summary is as fol-
