economically that the plant can be

larger part of the year.
THE CUPRIC CLAIM.
About four miles northwest from
mountain. is to be found the Cupric
| group of claims, which embraces some
| of the most promising mineralized
ground in the district The surface
showing on this property is excellent,
and in the early days heavy shipments
of iron ore for fiuxing purposes were
made to the Frisco smelters, and it is
said that at one time Allen G.. Camp
bell took 100 tons of ore from the grass
roots that went over 100 ounces in sill
! yer to the ton.
| For II long years o. S. Carver, the
veteran miner, held this ground, but
during the present year partnership
was effected with Hon. P. T. Farms
worth and his associates and now the
group is being developed in a most
thorough manner. A fine hoist and
whim has been installed on the ground
and work is being pushed as rapidly as
| possible. The shaft Is now down to
the 200-foot level from the bottom of
which an incline is being run to the
COnldCl- IltlS 10 llOW III a us
lance or 10 feet and when the present
contract is COMPLETED it will be down
another 60 feet, when it is believed the
body of fine ore will be. disclosed, as
already the mineral indications are
most encouraging.
The Cupric is owned by Mr.. Farms
worth, John and James Sharp, Frank
Jennings, Phil BentZ, Ruben Farms
worth, o. S. Carver and A. c. Wash
ington. This is a strong combination
and it is the intention of these gentle
men to thoroughly develop the prop
erty.
THE DANISH MINE.
The Danish group of claims, adjoin-
ing the Yellow Jacket on the south,
and on an extension of the old Carbon
ate ledge, is one of the most promising
properties in the camp, and the work
that has been done in the development
of this ground demonstrates the fact
that with the application of capital and
labor a paying mine is sure to be
found. The Danish is owned by Charles
Thomson and Peter Hansen, who have
already made ore shipments from the
mine, and who, in its further devel-
opment, are following a good stringer
and a well-defined vein that is likely
at any minute to open out into good
body of pay mineral. The owners of
l1lC DdtllSu diC very COHllQSul DIS u Tile
ultimate outcome of the property, and
although they have had offers for
whole or portion of the ground they
have refused to part with it, and if
indications count for anything, it will
yet make them wealthy. The Yellow
Jacket, just north of the Danish
ground, is owned by c. c. and Will C.
Higgins. The assessment work for this
year has just been completed on this
claim and the showing is very encour-
aging.
THE BANTY GROUND.
In Beaver Lake district, which is To-
Gated just east of Frisco, there are a
number of very valuable prospects,
among the number being the Banty
claim, which is located on a strong vein |
that can be traced for a distance of
two miles. On the surface the mineral
on this ground assays from to per |
cent lead, to 10 ounces in silver and |
from Sc to $40 in gold to the ton, while |
shipments have been made from the !
property that netted the owners SIG to
the ton.
The Banty is owned by A S. Ander- |
son, Phil Bentz, o. S. Carver, W. H. |
Joseph and J. H. Douglass, and it is |
the intention of these gentlemen to re- |
sumo work in the development of the |
property soon after the first of the |
year.
CHLORIDE AND GALENA.
The Chloride and -Galena claims, |
which are also located in Beaver Lake !
district, are properties of a great deal |
Of promise, and there is every reason |
to believe that with development this |
ground will come to the front as among |
the heavy producers of the district.
Some work was done on the Chloride !
q nd he CT 500 nd
fine vein of silver-lead ore was I'M
covered, from which a shipment was |
H~+ summer that netted the own
erS $77 per ton, and it is UNDERSTOOD
that it is theintention to resume work
in the thorough opening of this ground
soon after the first OF the year.
The Chloride and Galena are owned
by ]. w, Dunn, NJ. c.. Morris, David
James, r, w, Dotson, A. S. Anderson,
w. H. Barratt and Phil Bentz.
THE MILAN B. GROUP.
s g. Mn M5ap ~ 'T ~, os elf3oseq OF
Sackett is owned by T. N Sackett, A.
S. Anderson, o. S. Carver and Phil
Bentz. This is one of the most prom
Using copper prospects in the district
and it is claimed that if this ground
was handled in a proper manner that
there is scarcely any doubt but that it
would open out into great copper
On the surface on these
claims the ore averages from to 20
feet in width and the values range
from to per cent copper, ounces in
silver and 81 in gold to the ton In
fact, it is another Copper Gulch show
ing, only on a smaller scale, and the
indications are such that considerable
work will be done to further open up
the group.
