Gate group covers about 200 acres of
ground. On this property four shafts
had been sunk, from which drifts run
in all directions. Nearly everywhere
pay ore is found, varying in value from
SO UP to 500 and having an average
value Of $15 per ton. The vein has
been found to be in places 200 feet
thick Added to this is the Tough Nut
group, Merritt, Hard Times, etc, in all
about zoe acres.
The Briekyard was added to the rest
soon after De Lamar's visit. This
property comprised 140 acres. A great
deal of work had been done on the
ground, showing up the. vein in fine
shape. The development work had been
such that the directors had decided to
build mill, when it was purchased by
Captain De Lamar.
Since the purchase men have been
busy driving a tunnel to connect the
two properties The tunnel is six feet
wide and seven feet high and will be
about half a mile in length. In other
parts of the mine a great deal of work
has been done, preparing it to supply
the mill.
In July ground was broken for the
mill, and since that time a small army
of men has been at work on the mill
site. The mill, the largest in the
United States, covers an area of 300
feet by 400. Eight levels rise one above
another in the min, the upper one be-
ing the level on which the ore will be
crushed and which is Is by 25 feet The
ore from the mine is brought to this
level through an incline SOC feet An
extended description of the plant has
been printed in The Herald
A hundred feet above the mill the
building in which will be the hosting
engines has been constructed, and a
large, commodious assay office is being
built north of the mill. 1t is proposed
to add a machine shop, so that all
necessary repairs will be made On the
ground.
Most of the machinery for the gas
plant has arrived. Three-fourths of
the structural iron is in place, the
roasters are completed and it is prob
able that couple of months viii see
the immense plant ready to. run. 1t is
proposed to run so days on 500 tons
per day, after which the capacity will
be increased to 500. tons, which Will. be
the daily output.
All the motive power lin both the
mine and mill will be electricity and
will be furnished by the Telluride
Power Transmission company, which
will also furnish lights for the prop
erty. No timbering will be used in
| the mine; the ore viii be taken cut
clean and the ground allowed to
cave in.

near the towns of Gunlock and Pinto,
are most noteworthy, since they are
nearer the railroad, and show up bet
ter on the test than anything that
mas yet beer struck here, save per-
maps. the famous camp of Silver Reef
which sprung into prominence as a
great producer in d few short months
after its discovery by Barbee
The Guniock claims. discovered by
the Trumans of that town, contain a
silver lead-bearing ore, and though as
saying only SIS to $40 per ton, yet the
ledge is reported to be SO feet in width,
800 feet Of it being in sight. Many
claims are taken up and great hopes
are entertained of the ultimate out
come.
Those near the edge of the desert, IS
miles northeast of Pinto, are very rich
IN lead, carrying a pencentage of silver
and some gold. A well-defined ledge
has been struck which is considered to
be continuation of the Horn Silver
ledge, which has done such yeoman-like
service in the Frisco mines. The dis
coverers, Robert and d. r. Page, are
old prospect DIS, and are confident of
the most favorable results coming
from their property. Already number
Of locations have been made right
around them, and the predictions of
experts are that another Leadville will
start INTO existence mere. Ihelr Opln-
ion of the indications is that none more
favorable have. appeared in this whole
western country than are found here
The workings are shaft 60 feet deep
in one part, showing ore in pockets,
but the main strike is in a 25-foot shaft
about the center Of the claim, showing
a three-foot ledge of ore.
The owners intentions are to hold on
to the property until it is well devel-
oped, and then effect sale.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-12-26

opment is going on faster than ever
before.
Thomas A. Duncan has obtained an
option on the property. Should he fail
to take up the bond, work on the mill
will commence Immediately. The mill
will be built close to the present shaft
house, and the gulch on the south side
will be taken advantage of in the
building. The plans show a compact
mill of 125 tons daily capacity. with all
the latest improvements in the art of
cyaniding. A roaster to bake the re-
fractory ore, viii probably be one of the
features. A Comet crusher, G size, and
Wall rolls, will be part of the machin-
cry, and the arrangement of the diff
ferent parts of the mill will be convent
ent and up-to-date. Calculations, look
ing to the enlargement of the plant.
have received attention in the method
of laying out the site.
WEST DIP PROPERTIES.
1t is impossible to mention the many
valuable properties on the west dip. The
Snowstorm shaft reached the ore at a
depth of 100 feet, and an incline is be-
ing sunk on the vein, and drifts are
being run north and south.
The Dayton and Douglass shaft has
reached a depth of 400 feet, and is at
the bottom of the wash. DR.. Latham
of Oakland, Cal, is engaged in sinking
shaft out in the valley. A good show
ing has been made on the Edna May,
Valley View and Gray Rooster, and
others in that vicinity. Patents have
been obtained on the Cedar Hill group
and a number of other claims belonging
to Colonel Wall and Captain De La
mar. Hon. Thomas G.. Merrill has
spent considerable means in the Van
derbilt group, an English syndicate has
purchased the Independence group,
and, in short, the year has seen the
commencement of work on dozens of
groups, some of which will develop into
mines before the close of another year.

DETROIT DISTICT.

The Detroit district is located in the
western end of Willard county and
about 80 miles from Oasis, on the south
ern extension of the Oregon Short Line.
1t abounds in a greater diversity of
mineral than most camps in the state,
even bisnuth being found, but copper
and gold are the predominant metals.
The hex is working on a lead of rich
ore in the lower tunnel, indicating that
the early spring will again put this
property on the shipping list.
The Copperhead, owned by Payson
people, is being worked with force of
men, having recently arranged for the
sinking of the main shaft to the 300-foot
level. They are now taking out ship
ping ore.
The Rather group is pushing devel-
opnent work and have a fine showing
The Detroit Mining company is push
ing work on its group of claims, run
ming the tunnel on the Prince of Wales,
and are now in 300 feet, expecting 10
cut the vein any day.
Claim owners are more active than
ever in protecting their claims by do
ing assessment work and the first of
the year will find little property open
to relocation.
The Charmed. owned by Ed Busby
Of Salt Lake. turned out $50 ore when
it was leased by the hex syndicate.
Philip Corcoran of Salt Lake owns an
adjoining claim, the Ada. Two men are
at work on the Ada.
The trouble with Detroit district lies
in the fact that claim owners are poor
men, and unable to prosecute develop
ment work. The ore gets richer with
depth, as the workings in the hex and
other propositions give ample proof

supply the De Lamar mill, but the
Chloride Point and others in Mercur.
The distance of the power plant from
Mercur is 50 miles, and it is thought the
loss of power will not exceed per
cent. The power is furnished by the
water of Provo river, one of the largest
