OVERLAND OPERATIONS
Steady Development Work in Pro-
greSS on This Propertv.


Judge W. A Sherman has bean do
voting the most of his time of late in
the direction of the development work

the Overland mine at Sunshine and he
is we'll pleased with the advancement
mat has been made during the past
Two or three months.
Two shifts are employed at the Over

opinion there is all of $4,000 tons of
good milling ore blocked out in the
property which viii carry gold val
ues ranging from 50 to $50 ton, and
win every root of work done the prop
erty grows better and better.
While the Overland is without a mill
ana there is no telling when it will be
graced with plant, there is no cues
zion OF doubt but that it is one of the
best mines in the district that is in
lack of milling facilities of its own.
But little is doing at Sunshine at the
present time outside of the work in
progress at the Overland. the Search
light and the Geld Point.
At the Searchlight the last contract
for 100 feet of sinking has lust been
completed, which gives the shaft a
depth of nearly 300 feet, and it is I'M
derstood that the indications are en-
couraging
The Gold Point shaft is now down $40
or go feet, the bottom being in miner
allied lime. The company is now work.
ing three shifts and during the middle
of last week the force was increased TO
three men to a shift, which demon
strates the fact that the company has
abiding faith in the outcome of the en-
terprise and will admit of no delay in
proving the value of the property. 1t
is good company for the camp and
the district would be better off if it
had more companies of this character
within its borders.

THE CENTURY LOOKING WELL

Encouraging reports continue to come
in from the Century mine. in Park Val
ley, Box Elder county. this state, and
the indications are that before winter
comes again the Century company,
which is a Salt Lake corporation, Will
be on a dividend-paying basis.
The company is now working a force
of six men in the extension OF the lower
working tunnel. which is being driven
TO cut the main Century ledge at a
depth Of several hundred feet. and good
progress is being made in this direc-
ton. 50 much so. in fact. that it is
expected that the connection will be
made by the 1St of August. when it is
the intention of the company to begin
work at once in the erection Of 2 mill,
as the ore is free milling and abounds
IN almost unlimited quantities.
In the driving of the tunnel a second
assure was encountered a short time
ago at distance of about $50 feet from
the mouth of the workings. This ledge
is all Of ten inches in width and the
quartz is of the same general charac-
teTistics as the ore in the main Cen

White. who recently made a visit to the
property. states that he is confident
that with this body of mineral alone
the property could be operated at a
profit.
Soon after starting the main working
tunnel a nice body of good ore was en-
countered, but as all the energies of
the company We're being directed tothe
work of running for the Century ledge.
the first assure as well al the second
one found have not been prospected to
any extent. but the two combined. from
all appearances. are enough TO cause
visions Of wealth TO float before the
eyes Of the stockholders of the com
pany. and when the main Century ledge /
is reached and the riches revealed there I
is every reason TO believe that evs'-.-

IN THE "OLD RELIABLE
The Bingham Bulletins Weekly Re
view of the Camn.

3 II is rumored that there is some pros
pect Of new blood being infused into
+ the organization known as the Bing-
ham Copper company. whereby it will
/ be placed on basis that will enable it
TO obtain machinery and proceed in a
business-like manner with the devel-
opment OF the Starlus and Amanda
mines When the character of the
veins of these properties. as deVelop-
ments have exposed them, is consid-
cred, the inference must be that i'm
portant results will attend deeper work
No mineral vein in Bingham has given
up finer specimens, especially of gold
bearing copper ore, than those found in
the Starlus: but ii seems to be a dis
couragement because the crevice mat
ter is pockety and uncertain. To this
writer II seems question whether
there has been real cause for discour-
agement. The Bulletin once referred
TO losses by drainage from the Bing-
ham copper belt and INDUCED in this
computation: "One of the "copper"
springs runs a little over one miners
inch of water, or about 100 pounds, per
minute, carrying one-fourth of 1 per
cent copper; and as each minute slides
noiselsssly down the corridors of time.
four ounces of copper runs to waste
from this one spring alone In all
proba bility the stream was running at
the dawn Of the Christian era, say 800
years ago, and by computation we find
that during this period 26S. S31. 900
pounds of the red metal have gone to
waste-enough TO make a belt for the
world eight inches broad by one-six-
teenth thick and have over 1900. 600
pounds left for buckles and bangles"
The reference then went on to say
that where there has heen such ire
mendous and steady loss there must
have been an inexhausible storehouse
TO feed it. The further deduction fol-
lows that through all those years the /
springs have been charged from the
pockety section of the vein above the l
copper springs. AS no one has ever (
yet gone below the creek bed of Bing-
lam canyon 10 a depth worth mention |
ms. and what may be there is as a I
sealed book. il seems reasonable to
presume in the virgin ground may be
found copper and gold ore that has
not had the life seeped out of it. and
ust as it was originally formed This
conclusion is so natural il is shared by
very practical miner who has given
nought to the subject. a few thou
and dollars expended in machinery
md labor would suffice to sink on the
'tarlus vein to a depth where solid
mineral might reasonably be expected.

conda mountain, at the head of Kess-
lars canyon, in West Mountain dis
trict. where the property of the Grow
Gold Mining company is located. in
forms The Herald that work is pro-
crossing finely in the development of
this ground and that the outlook is
most encouraging.
AS stated before in these columns the
company is driving a tunnel for the
purpose of cutting the ledge at a con-
siderable depth. This tunnel is now
in a distance of 100 feet and the ground
is getting softer, indicative of the near
presence of the vein, and the company
is feeling much encouraged over the
outlook.
AT a distance of $50 feet from the
mouth of the tunnel 5-foot ledge of
gold bearing rock was encountered and
cut through, and recent assays show
that the vein carries the yellow metal
in paying quantities. No prospecting
was done on this body, however. as it
is desired to make connections with the
main ledge as soon as possible, when il
is believed that the mine will open out
into bonanza proposition. Two shifts
are at work and the work of extending
the tunnel is making excellent prog
ress.
In order TO facilitate operations the
company is building two log cabins,
with shingled roofs, at the mouth of the
Rand tunnel, which will be the main
working opening in the mine. and
when completed these houses will make
very comfortable quarters for the men
during the winter months, it being the
intention to work the property continu-
ously, as the owners ara firm in the
belief that it viii develop into paying
mine this fall.
In the same neighborhood the Col
conda people are pushing work on the
tunnel on their group. the intention
being to run it at least 1000 feet, and
already, although in but 100 feet or
more. rock has been found that assays
S6.60 in gold to the ton. The owners
of this ground will soon incorporate
for the more convenient operation of
the property.
The Mayfiower has also started UP.
This ground adjoins the Golconda, and
Is reported TO be a very promising
piece of ground. The Lloyd Fuller
property viii soon be the scene of act
i've operations, and Mr.. Grow states
that Mercur parties have recently made
locations adjoining this latter property.
Taking it all in all. the outlook for
Golconda mountain is excellent.
