The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-10-24

For the past ten days Pat Ryan. the
well known mining operator of this
city, has been hard at work in the en-
deavor to tie up the Butler Beck mine
on bond for himself and eastern asso-
ciates. and The Herald is informed
that he has been partially successful
in the attempt, as he now has bond
on a seven-eighths interest in this val
liable property. the life of the option
being for 4 period of one year.
The Butler Beck group OF eight full
claims is located in Cold Mountain dis
trict in the Immediate locality of the
noted Silver King and other valuable
mines and prospects.
The mine has gained reputation 10
cally as q property of considerable
prominence, as it has made shipments
of high grade ore i'll the past, and at
least $4,000 has been spent in its devel-
opment and in the erection of a small
5-stamp mill on the ground. which is
equipped with q F'rue Vanner in adj
dition to which there is a small saw
mill with sufficient capacity to supply
timber and lumber for the necessities
of the mine, the power being steam.
4 large amount of work has been
done so far in opening up the mine,
and Mr.. Ryan states that in one of the
workings a dve-foot breast of ore is
exposed. which, at the lowest calcula-
ton, will carry average values of is
ounces silver and $12 in gold to the ton.
This vein has been uncovered for sew
eral hundred feet by means of a tunnel
and an upraise of so or 60 feet on the
vein has disclosed large body of min
eral and demonstrated the continuity
and Dermanency of the deposit
In the other workings of the mine
from two to five feet of ore of excellent
milling values has been uncovered. and
in many instances the gold contents
will run up as high as $500 and even
higher.
The ore is represented as being free
milling, although it is more than likely
that the addition of a cyanide plant for
the treatment OF the tailings will even
tually be made. as from tests made
with the mill in the past, it is evident
that the mineral viii require a combi-
nation process Of amalSamation and
cyaniding in order to recover a high
percentage of it's metallic values.
Mr.. Ryan viii begin the development
of the property at once With q force of
eight or ten men, the intention being to
continue operations all winter, and
later on a trial run will be made with
the mil! in order to determine the eX-
y
of the product of the mine.
Mr.. Ryan considers that the Butler
Beck is one of the Best showings for a
heavy and regular producer he has ever
seen, and he proposes to do some eX-
tensive work in demonstrating his the
cries regarding the property. The veins
of the Butler-Beck are very strong and
we'll defined, and can be traced on the
surface for a long distance The for
nation is a contact and the deposit
tions of mineral are very regular.
The country around the mine is well
wooded and water is plentiful while
the property is easily accessible to the
railroad.
Mr. Ryan will leave for Gold Noun
tain district Monday with some men
and lot of provisions and supplies,
AID within short time he viii have
everything snug for winter operations
at the mine.

The North Mountain.

w S Brown, one of the officers and
heavy stockholders of the North Noun
tain Mining company, whose property
is located il Egan canyon, Cherry
Creek New. arrived in the city from
the mine Friday night, bringing with
him a shipment OF high grade cyanides.
AS Herald readers are aware, the
hoist at the mine was destroyed some
time ago by fire. and the timberins of
the shaft was burned out to the 150-
foot level.
This. of course, delayed developments,
but the mill was kept running on ore
which had already been hoisted to the
surface and also on waste and old
dumps. but Mr.. Brown states that just
before he left there We're Is inches Of
snow on the ground, in consequence of
which the mill was closed until the new
hoist was ready for service, and work
is now progressing rapidly in its cree
ton, the gallows frame already being
III place, While the shaft is now more
than half retimbered.
As soo. rs the hoist is in running
order and the shaft fully repaired. the
mill VIII he started up again for a
steady and continuous run. and as a
large amount of good gold ore is broken
down and blocked out in the mine. the
future outlook for the company is rosy
hued

Salt Lake, viii leave at once for his

SUPREME COURT OPINION.
JUDGE HILES AFFIRMED IN THE
U. C. FORECLOSURE SUIT.
The Intervenors Get the Amount of
Their Claims-Mrs. Owens Sues
for DiYorce-Short Orders and
Miscellaneous Notes.

The supreme court yesterday handed
down an opinion in The case Of the
Central Trust company Of New York
VS.. the Utah Central Railway COM
pany, affirming the Judgment rendered
by Judge HiIes deereeing that the in
terVenOr. Joseph Goddard, should re-
cefve $10,919.50 for salary and labor
claims and that the other intervenOr,
the Continental Oil company, receive
81, Ola II for supplies furnished. The con-
Guiding portion of the opinion is to
the effect that the railroad company
having contipued to operate the road
and TO receive its earnings after the
execution of plaintiffs mortgage, it
was its legal duty to pay its en-
pIoyees from the earnings, whether the
labor was performed before or after;
and if it did not. but diverted them for
the payment of valuable improve
ments, the court did not err in order
ing the special master, out of the
money in his hands from the earnings,
or from the sale of the property. not
exceeding the amount so diverted, to
pay the assignee of the iabOrers such
unpaid wages, since it appears from
The record the earnings that came to
his hands with the amount so diverted
was more than sufficient to satisfy
the interYenors' claim The same
course of reasoning applied as to the
claim of the other intervenOrs, the

The Old Ruby Mine.

Regarding the old Ruby mine. near
Basin, Mont, which is now being
worked by the Gold Mountain com
pany, under lease and bond, the Helena
Independent says:
The Ruby has one of the greatest ore
showings of any mine in the Basin dis
trict. The lead is said to be 90 feet wide,
a large part being shipping ore run
ming from $40 to $40 per ton. There o.
a rich streak in the vein four feet wide
that shows remarkably rich ore. picked
samples running as high as $4,000 a
ton and much of it being over $500 q
ten Governor Smith said yesterday that
all ore that viii run more than S35 a
ton is shipped. while all under that
value is designed for the mill The mill
has a capacity of 80 tons daily, about
the full days run being reduced to one
ton Of concentrates which viii average
from $500 to $1,000 in value. The mill
is adapted to the ores OF the Ruby.
there being less than two ounces of sill
yer and only a trace Of gold remaining
in the tailings.
The men now operating the Ruby be-
lieve they have one Of the best mines
in the state outside of Butte and they
propose to develop it for all it is worth.
They already have a big ore body III

keep the development well in advance

Mill for State Line

From Z. D. Roche. one of the leading
merchants and business men of Cedar
City, it is learned that Messrs J. H
Arthur, Cornelius BIaden and George
II. Walker, of that place, are perfect
ing arrangements for the erection of q
custom mil il State Line district. in
the western portion of Iron county,
from which hattering reports have been
received of late.
State Line caa boast of the posses
sion of some of the most promising free
gold propositions to be found in the
state, and in the development of these
properties many hundreds of tons of
good milling ore have been placed on
the dump where they await treatment.
while IL the mines there are strong
and well defined lodges Of gold quartz
which give every indication of perma-
nency, and al that the camp now needs
to bring il 90 the front is the establish
ment of reduction works. as there is
certainly ore enough in sight in the
different mines to justify the erection
of one or more mills in the district.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-10-24

Hon. Allen c. Campbell is feeling in
excellent spirits over returns received
from ore sent in from Eagle valley dis
triet, Nevada, by Ben Johnson, the vet
eran prospector, who, according 10 all
reports. has at last found the bonanZas
he has been looking for for many years.
The samples sent in by Mr.. Johnson
were assayed in this city and the Ger
tiiicate Of assay showed values as fol-
lows:
10. Average Of a two-foot vein
49.5S ounces silver and $I23.l0 in gold to
the ton
No. ESQ ounces silver and $685.
No $3.50 ounces silver and sssa.o7
No. 4.-4.27 ounces silver and 50 in
GOLD
The samples sent in by Mr. Johnson
we're taken from various portions of the
groGp Of claims owned by NIessrs. a q
Campbell. Hon. K. c. Lund and Ben
Johnson. and the showing is such as
to lead To the belief that these three
gentlemen have q better than a hlon-
dixie, and especially so as these prop
critics are located in a section Of coun-
Try easily accessible at all times of
tate.
: IN the same district. and adjoining
the Campbell group. Colonel II. L.
Pickett OF this city and his partners
Messrs. Troutman and Clark, are own
ers Of prospects on which the surface
showing is equally as promising and
i'll the development Of which consider
able work IS being done, While in the
same locality Dan Mcleod and his
partner. Mr.. Lane. are working some
properties in which the showing is very
gratifying.
While Eagle Valley. or Deer Lodge,
as the camp is more generally known.
has not received the attention from the
outside that its merits deserve, the in
dicauons are that there VIII be a rush
there in the near future and that min
ing men and investors viii be tumbling
over each other TO get in on the ground
floor on the leading prospects of the
district.
The fire tests on the ore sent in by
Mr.. Johnson, and the high values which
have been obtained by others who are
interested in the camp would certainly
justify the above prediction and would
also bear out the assertion made that it
is foolish to so to Alaska for gold when
1t is SO laVisnly deposited in the min
ing camps almost at our very doors. 50
