Began Mining company appears on the
fourth page of this issue.
The usual car of sulphuric acid fol-
the Marsac teacher and refinery ar
rived this week and was transferred
without trouble.
The Silver King received a car load
of giant powder Wednesday afternoon
and it was safely transferred to the
company's magazine.
4 night shift was put on again al
the Anchor concentration Thursday
night and the mill is being crowded to
Sts full capacity. There is q healthy
demand at present for lead ores like
that produced at the above property.
A new tunnel is being driven to tan
the ore body in the White Rock and
California claims in Thayne'S canyon.
The tunnel is going in from the bottom
of the gulch and will tap the vein con-
siderably lower than it has yet been
opened up It is to be hoped that the
ore will show q decided Improvement
when cut by the new tunnel
The Silver Kings electric light plant
is now completed and the works. dump,
office and boarding house is now
lighted with electricity. The plant
was put in and the wiring done by j.
NJ Smith. who has for years been the
chief electrician of the Salt Lake Street
Railway company, and thoroughly
understands his business. Everything
about the plant works to perfection.
The Silver King company has a force
Of carpenters at work building an addi-
lion to the present ore house. When
completed the ore bins will have stor-
age capacity equal to any property in
the camp. The new addition will be
half the size Of the present ore bins
and just as substantial as it is pos
sible to make it.
The road up Woodside canyon has
been reconstructed from below the old
Woodside boarding house to where it
joins the road leading UP to the hoist
ing works on that property. The
change is great improvement both as
regards grade and smoothness, and VIII
allow heavier loads to be hauled with
less wear and tear on the wagons.
A new carpenter and blacksmith
shop has been erected at the mouth of
the long tunnel on the Cumberland
group, which, together with other i'm
provements, places the property in ex-
cellent condition for the winter months
Matters are progressing most satisfac-
torily and the indications are that the
mine viii be able to pay Its way be-
fore many months.
c. c. Whitehead and Chris. Schiagle
have completed arrangements for
working the Whitehead group CT
claims. lying east and moth of the
Ontario. and on Wednesday a force of
men, together with all necessary sup
piles, was sent over to the property
and work was commenced Thursday
Development will be by tunnel and
will be prosecuted with three shifts
Considerable work has already been
done on the group and a fine vein
opened up in what is known as the
Buntz tunnel. The present tunnel will
be run to cut the same ledge at much
greater depth. and it is to be hoped
that good ore will be encountered. The
Intention at present is to keep steadily
at work until the vein is opened Up.
w. M. Curtis informed us this week
that the work he was doing in the
Glencoe consisted only in catching up
the ground in the lower works where
caves had occurred and putting mat
tiers in shape SO that work may be
prosecuted without interruption when
the time arrives to again operate the
property. One very large cave and a
number Of small ones have been found
and cleaned up and the end is not yet.
