which is being installed in the base
ment of the DoOlv block under the di-
rection of Professor Mitchell will soon
! be in working order. This Will be a.
fine plant, and will be used by Mr.. But
/ ters and associates for their own pri-
vate business. A large cruSher for the
plant was put in yesterday.
George St Clair and George w. Clark
were in from Ophir yesterday for the
purpose of receiving the last payment
of $4,000 from Colonel Ellis for the
Broken Hills group, which is located on
the west dip adjoining the La Cigale
and the Edna May mines. The Broken
Hills is the oldest location in that sec
ton and ii is understood that it is the
intention of the purchaser to develop
the property in a thorough manner
this summer.
George st. Clair, who is familiar with
every inch of Lion Hill. informs The
Herald that he is of the opinion that
the Chloride Point will develpo into
one of the biggest mines in that To-
callty- Mr.. st. Clair made a nice stake
out of the c. P. when he was working
it under lease. but he states that at
that time he had no idea as to the
magnitude of the ore bodies in this
property as disclosed within the last
few months by the c. P. company.
A dispatch from San Diego, Cal,
says: Within the past six weeks dis
coverieS of dry volcanic ore, rich in
gold, have been made along the Colo
RADIO river, and many location notices
have been led in the recorders office
here Prominent metallurgists report
that the vast quantity of this ore and
the ease of milling it will make the
Colorado river as famous as Cripple
Creek. The ore is generally low grade,
but is found in great dykes 80 to 200
feet in width.
Joe Dederick. who has the contract
for the erection of the Highland Boy
mill at Bingham. who was in the city
yesterday, informs The Herald that
work is progressing finely in the max
ing of the excavations for the founda-
ton of the plant. Mr. Dederick has
put UP house at the mine, and will
move his family out there tomorrow.
From AL account quite a little town
Will soon spring UP at the Highland
Boy, and Mr.. Dederick states that a.
daily stage is now running up Carr
Fork gulch.
Fourteen small mills are now being
put up in the vicinity of Picacho, in
this county. and on the Arizona side
similar activity is being shown. The
Gleason, or King of Arizona mine was
discovered quite accidentally, the pros
pectOrs seeking only for free gold ores.
and failing to find any worth locating,
they camped by an old fireplace of an
abandoned lead mine and found rock
among the ashes which had been
roasted, thus causing the gold to
sweat" out. Ore that would not show
color with horning was found to con-
tain gold running up into the thou
sands.
William Orr. the genial representative
of the Macarthur Forrest cyanide com
pany. who has just returned from a.
Tt
that it is working in a most satisfact-
tory manner and that he is satisfied
that the process will save nearly all Of
the gold values and a very large per
centage of the silver In fact Mr.. Orr
says that the Northern Light ore is
the best teaching ore in Camp Floyd
district. At the present time a series
of experiments are being made on the
ore in order to determine what is just
the right time and treatment for the
teaching. From tests already made it
has been demonstrated that the min
eral is a perfect teaching ore, and that
the solution percolates freely, which is
an important item in the saving of the
precious metals.
Judge j. D. Jones. who was in the
city yesterday, is quite heavily inter-
ested in the State Line district, in
western Iron county. as he is half
owner in the Utah Spur mine and owns
stock in the Gold Hill Mining company.
The Utah Spur has already made a
good record for itself in small way as
a shipper and is a promising PROPOSE
ton 1t is expected that within a
short time it will make another con-
signment, as the judge states that
work in its development will be re-
sumed at an early day. From the for
mer shipment values of rs ounces in
silver and So in gold were obtained. On
the Gold Hill, adjoining, there is a
large quartz ledge that runs 80 ounces
in silver and IS in gold to the ton. This
is being developed by a tun-
mel and it is expected that when depth
S obtained a fine body of higher grade
pre- will be found. The gold lodges
IF the district carry at the values of
go to the ton at the lowest, and as
The mineral of the camp is all free
it is believed that in time the
district will make quite a stir in the
mining world. There is plenty of wood
md water in the district; a postoffice
has been established there and as it
s easy of access there is no reason why
[ should not develop into a great
amp.
