The engine at the Cumberland has
been repaired and the mine Is again
in operation.
The brick arch in No. dryer at the
Marsac mill burned out Sunday last
and a close-down was necessary in
order 10 make repairs.
The new company that has taken
hold of the old Have Eye mine is pros
/ ecuting work vigorously and the old
shaft is being cleared out and put in
good repair very rapidly.
| Next Saturday the Record will issue
its special edition containing write
up of the camps mining and business
| interests. We snail try TO make the
publication a credit to the camp and
| to the Office.
The strike recently made on Scott
Hill by Mr.. Whalen continues to grow
more promising as depth is attained
and the indications are that it will de-
velop into a paying proposition. AT
least so the writer is informed.
A runway for the travelling crane has
been constructed at the Marsac mill
between the machine shops and the
warehouse. The new arrangement is
| quite convenient in handling heavy
castings. Platforms have also been
| constructed for the storag gre of castings.
The find of mineral reported to have
been made in Snake Greek district last
week turned out to be of no conse-
| quence in spite of the excitement Gre
ated. The rock looked nice and was
very promising but its principal con-
tents was iron.
w. c. Lyman and c. NJ. West of the
Constellation Mining company were in
| the Park Wednesday, posting plats and
getting ready to file application for
patent upon that group. Work is going
| forward steadily and the mine is said
to be looking we'll
J. E. Parish returned this week from
several weeks visit to Idaho where
/ he went on mining business. While
there he learned of several valuable
locations owned by his deceased broth
er, John, which he made preparations
| fer holding by arranging for the neces-
sary work Mr.. Parish also had two
new locations of what he considers
promising ground.
James Rasband returned Wednesday
evening from American Fork where he
has been working a prospect in which
himself and brothers and John Diem
are interested. He brought back some
nice looking rock recently cut in the
shaft being sunk on the property and
tests of it will be made. The rock has
very much the appearance Of that be-
!
! Live Yankee. 1t is to be hoped that
| the rock will at least show favorable
results even if it does not prove to be
| shipping ore.
Messrs. John Varcoe and Fred Flindt
/ have leased the Ontario No. tailings
dam, erected a cozy building, put in an
engine and other machinery patterned
after their own ideas and will make
! the experiment of working over the
| tailings deposited in the dam many
years ago. If the mill runs average
with the test samples taken Messrs.
Varcoe and Flindt expect to do some
better than making wages. They have
erected a good building and their ma
| chinery, barring the engine, is all new
and well arranged. and if it proves
| successful in saving the values will be
run without Interruption the entire
| winter.
The many promising indications of
mineral reported from the vicinity of
Kamas last fall and concerning which
so many favorable predictions were
made during the early spring before
the snow left the hills in that section,
appear to have faded away and gone
to join the numerous other rich finds
that have been lost to ths world.
There is undoubtedly mineral in the
! hills abou. Kanfas, but we have our
doubts of its being found in sufficient
| quantity and OF a grade necessary to
build up a fourishing camp in that
section. But as mineral is where you
find it, the day may yet come when
rich vein will be uncovered. To date,
however, Kamas is very quiet as re-
| CARDS mining.
The ore in the Vallejo is steadily i'm
proving in oublity and holding its
own in quantity; in fact, the property
gives every indication of sustaining the
favorable opinions formed of its value
and of carrying to q successful fruition
! the hopes raised in the bosoms of it's
owners. Developments are now being
pushed vigorously through the old tun-
mel, where ore is being extracted. and
| by means Of the proposed long tnnnel
to tap the vein at a point some 500
feet deeper than the present opening
The new tunnel is now in SO odd feet
and is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible with means at hand. The ore
now coming from the mine locks very
fire and shows strong assays and its
owners are entirely satisfied with the
condition.
