Loofborouw & Kahn, who own the
Fortune mine, in the Dalton & Lark
country, expect to begin ore shipments

The Pan American Mining and Mill
ing company Yesterday shipped con-
signinent of cyanides valued at $500,
the output of its mill from a ten days
run, being the largest made at one
time for a year past. The company
has not missed its semi-monthly ship
ment for three years, and the outlook
for the success of the enterprise is now
brighter than it has been for some
time.

built" said a gentleman yesterday to
a Herald scribe, there is sure to be
a good town somewhere in that coun-
try, and it will be live, active place.
too; and this town, according to my
best judgment, will spring up some
where in the neighborhood of Ibapah,
as there is plenty of water there and
has everything desirable for a thriv-
ing camp"
Vernal Express: The knowing ones
claim that rich copper discovery has
been made on Diamond mountain.
Some of the rock secured in that local
ity last fall, which is supposed to have
been float, assayed 40 per cent. copper.
Some claim the vein has been found.
One thing is certain: great many

The gasoline hoist has proven a great
success in this state, as far as tried,
and A. Warenskigold, representing the
American Type Founders company,
the manufacturers of the engine and
hoist. who is in the city, informs The
Herald that within a short time car
load Of these plants will be received IN

dentists, returned last. week from Os-
ceola, Nevada, where the firm is in
terested in promising gold quartz
property that shows from sixteen to
eighteen inches of ore ranging in value
from $50 to $3.50 in gold to the ton,
while picked specimens go way UP into
the thousands. Most of the work for
the past few months. however, has
been done in running a long tunnel in
order to cut the contact at a greater
depth, and, just before leaving for
home, the doctor drove the face of the
drift into the footwall of the vein.
The Mt. Nebo Irrigation company be-
gan the work this week of setting out
$4,000 fruit trees. Already success is
beginning to crown the efforts of the
company, and during the year over
1000 acres will be cultivated under it's
canals. The water was turned on the
1st of the month, and although the
fumes had to be soaked and the
bitches filled, there is now more water
in the lake than ever, and it is graft
flying to say that no break of any con-
sequence has occurred in the fumes
or bitches. The company is daily in
receipt of large number of inquiries
from the east regarding their enter
prise, and already a goodly number OF
families are building themselves new
homes in this land of promise
The Julia Dean mine at Bingham ex-
perienced a cave-in few days ago,
and now it will be some time before
the mine can resume ore shipments.
The Julia Dean tunnel was driven 250
feet before an upraise was started.
At so feet the upraise encountered sur
face water, and although the works
were we'll timbered, the whole shoot
ing match slumped in, and now an
other upraise will have to be made and
a drift run to the ore before the mine
can be placed on a paying basis again.
TT will take month to do this and an
expenditure of at least $1,000 This is
a misfortune, indeed, and Dan Clay's
many friends will be sorry to hear
