Notice to Shippers.
: t6 A&&Ga OF Com&ac1ar agent,

Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 25, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York sub
sequent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests Of
our patrons, we would announce that
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
| iginating ip New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tination in the state of Texas, or des-
| tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
| leans.
| On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
| ritories, we would solicit routing
| through ST. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. & T. G. and Southern Pacific; M. K.
s. T. II. & T. @. and Southern Pacific:
c. r. |. & P, II. & T. G. and Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M: K: g. T., II.
& T. G. and SOuther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
| freight to and from sesboard via Nor
gan Line steamers aud Sunset route,
as same does not pass through New
| Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all mail from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs aud
other supposed infect districts ia fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

BLACK DRAGON STRIFE.
High-Grade Lead Ore From West
Tiutic Mine,

In its weekly roundup of the mining
news of the camp, the Tintic Miner
says:
s. E. Crager has let to Schaupp Bros.
a contract OF sink the shaft on the
Nellie Harris III feet deeper. They have
moved a whim on the property, and
will at once begin work.
w. S. Stauffenbe~g yesterday exhibit
ed some fine specimens of copper from
some claims in the Erickson district.
With the building Of the Deep Creek
road Billy has bonanza.
The contractors on the Sunbeam were
forced to abandon work on account of
water. They were sinking the shaft
from the 450-foot level, and had worked
but a couple Of days When the hole
began filing up on them.
- +. Fleiner went through camp
Monday on his way from Death can
yon 10 Provo to vote. He reports two
men at work on the Blaine mine, and
will return to that district in a few
days to superintend operations.
Captain Ryan reports a very favor
able change this week in the West
Gable A vein of quartz has been en-
countered which looks most favorable.
Captain Ryan believes that the works
are now rapidly approaching the pay
zone which cuts this property
c. H. Robinson. W. T. Craig, Harry
Johnson and John Hupfer, who are
working the Joe Bowers No. 2, in the
Silver City end of the district, on a
lease and bond, shipped car of good
ore this week. A night shift has been
put on. and the work Will be pushed
vigorously.
The work of Strengthening the shaft
in the Lower Mammoth is about COM
pleted and the machinery has already
been placed. Some very rich ore has
been exposed, and as soon as the mine
is placed in order for continuous 'Work,
a shipment viii be made that should
occur in time to furnish subject mat
ter for Thanksgiving.
The owners Of the Black Dragon made
no mistake when they told Superintend-
ent Marx to follow out his own opinion
in working that property. He immedi-
ately began sinking a new shaft and
within a few feet of the surface cut
into a good sized vein of gray copper,
which, it is believed, will be found quite
rich in the white metal. Work is be-
ing continued on che new shaft, and the
owners are reasonably certain of some
good pay ore in the near future
Shipments from the district for the
week are as follows: From the Gemini,
carloads are; from the Swansea, 4
carloads ore; from the Sioux mill, car
loads concentrates; from the Eureka
Hill mine, carloads are; from the Eu-
reka Hill mill, carloads concentrates:
from the Centennial-Eureka, 2 carloads
ore; from the Dragon. iron mine, car
loads ore; from the South Swansea. 3
carloads ore; from the Joe Bowers No.
2, carload ore; from the Mammoth
mine, carloads ore; from the Nam
moth mill, 8 carloads concentrates:
from the Sioux mill, 8 bars bullion; from
the Boss Tweed, 2 carloads ore
The talk in regard TO the probable
erection of a mill by the Centennial
Eureka still continues. We regret that
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-11-07

there is not more foundation for the
report than there is. We are advised
by Manager Allen that while the direc-
tors of the Centennial-Eureka Mining
company appreciate the necessity for a
milling plant to reduce the low grade
ores of that property, still the matter
of the erection of such a plant has
never been considered in a directors
meeting. 1t will come. and probably
next spring. and when it does the div
idend paying power of the Centennial
Eureka should be doubled.
n. n. Brown left for West Tintlc
Wednesday to work on the Bertha.
While here he showed a Miner man
some galena, taken out 40 feet from
the surface, that gave an assay Of 10
per cent lead and 80 ounces in silver.
The Bertha is on the same ore zone as
the famous old Scotia, from which a
great deal of silver and lead ore has
been taken in bygone days. West Tin
tics great drawback has been the lack
of shipping facilities, the long haul
necessary to reach a railroad being a
serious drain on the profits. If the
Deep Creek road is built, as proposed, 1t
viii pass within a short distance of some
of the old time producers, many OF
which have in sight large deposits OF
I low grade silver-lead ores that could
be handled with a profit with good
shipping facilities. This would call
forth the development of these proper
ties that would beyond doubt improve
with depth It is a, certainty that With
a railroad, West Tintic would soon be-
gin to add to the already great mineral
output of Utah.

An Up-to-Date Mill.

From W. e. Hubbard, who has just
returned from a visit of inspection Of
the Chloride Point mine and mill, it is
learned that the mill building is now
under cover AID that it is ready for
the machinery, which is now on the
way from the east.
In speaking of the plant Mr.. Hub
bard states that it viii be one of the
most substantial and complete reduc-
ton works ever erected in the west
and that it will be up to date in every
respect and equipped with all modern
improvements and appliances.
Work in the erection of the structure
has been vigorously pushed from tbs
start, and the company is well pleased
with the way Charlie Ford, the con
tractor has handled the enterprise,
while in the mine there is another
cause of congra tulation, as the devel-
opments there, under the supervision
of Superintendent George Clark, denote
that a thorough miner has been back
of all that has been done in the open
ing up of this magnificent property, ir
which, where work is now in progress
there is a breast of ore that is 40 feet
thick and the footWal has not yet beer
found. This body is all high grade
milling ore and will average all of AZ
! ounces silver and $3.50 in gold to tho
ton, while in this chute of minera
there is a three-foot pay streak tina
will carry 135 to $50 ounces silver ana
So in gold to the ton, and it is fror
this that the company is shipping from
one to two carloads of ore a week

Tabor and Stratton.

H. A. w. Tabor, the ex-senator and
ex-millionaire of Colorado, says the
bingham Bulletin, has been in strait

and knows the bitter experience OF nav

wealthy men who got their start from
his open hand. He IS a man OF shot'
comings. but faithlessness is not on6
of them. and if the professed friends
who fawned around him in the golden
DAYS had only been half as true as IN
word of tine old man. is reliable, be
would be q millionaire still. The writer
knows. Mr.. Tabor well and is pleased 10
find in the Denver Mining Record e
romantic story of him in connection
with Stratton, the Cripple Creek mil
lionaire. The former Leadville bonanza
king owns good mining property II
Mexico but recently had to put VI
$4,000 to save it and Was at his wits
end to raise the money He finally
concluded to ask Stratton to lend 1t tc
him. Going to Colorado Springs, he
made known his errand, and StrattoT
temporarily evaded giving an answer
The same evening, however, he went
to Tabor's hotel and handed him ter
81 coo bills, telling him to make sucf
use Of it as he desired. At the same
time Stratton said: eff you can ever
conveniently return it, do so; if not
do not consider there is any obliga-
ton in the matter" Incidents sucf
as this have the effect of reViyinS ones
faith in human nature, and for Mr.
Tabor's sake we trust the story is no
only not a rcere newspaper yarn, blu
that Mr.. Stratton's generosity will re
suit in restoring his fortune.

One of the Many of Utah's Natural
Mineral Resources.

While Utah has long been noted for
its natural mineral resources, it was
not known until a short time ago that
W@hin about six miles from Salt Lake
there was q deposit of sapolio, or pure
silica, or that this commodity existed
in such enormous quantities that the
good housewives of this city could use
from it for q century as a cleaning
compound and then not materially les
sen the supply
For some time work has been in pro-
gress in the development of this body
of saDolio and a tunnel has been run
in il a distance of 81 feet without re-
vealing its extent and size, and The
Herald is informed that the whole of
this mountain of silica is pure stuff,
and that it can be utilized in the manu-
facture of soaps, sapolio bars and for
polishing purposes without first going
through the process of refining.
This mammoth deposit of mineral.
for such it surely should be called, is
owned by George Dimmick, VIII and
Tave Griffiths. of this city, who have
disposed of il on a bond and lease to
New York parties, the bond calling for
+he payment of $12,500 within a speci-
fed time, and in the meantime force
