This miner was employed in one Of
the mines of Park City until The decline
in silver lost him his Job, when he went
over into Rush valley and made an
entry on government land with she in

Is always a miner and it was not long
before he WAS seized with the fever 10
prospect FOR the precious metals, and
near his new home he began work on
ledge Of rock quite similar in appear
ance to the groupings on the Mercur
mine, and at depth Of -four feet he
was IN q large body Of mineral that
hooked very much like the rock that is
being milled by the mine owners OF
Camp Floyd district
Determining to find out its value he
sent a small sample to a friend in this
city with the statement that if it car
ried only a trace he would continue
work if this friend would grnbstake
him, aS the Indications were good. Part
of the are sample WAS submitted TO one
Of the leading aSsaVerS of the city Who
did not believe there Vas any value in
the rock but he afterwards made three
different tests of the ore, as the first
result was a surprise to him, but after
the determinations were all completed
the results We're the same. 1921 in gold

Lake friend of the nrospector as well,
and the other piece Of the sample was
taken 10 another assayer and he OBJ
taned values OF $201 in gold To the ton
Money WAS then sent to the Rush val
Icy miner with instructions 70 send IN
a sackfui Of ore, representing an aver
age of the ore disclosed. and when this
WAS received ASSAY tests showed gold
values of $500 20 the ton.
With such a showing It is no wonder
that the Salt Lalter became excited and

that results thus far obtained are most

He has been kept busy the past three

it viii be some time before every thing
is in perfect running order and close
figures en- what the mill is doing can
be made.
An expert who recently visited the
Highland Boy vein estimated that
there are 900. 900 tons of ore in s,stat, ard
it is stated that if the new mill were
speeded up to 200 tons day, it would
be easy to keep it busy indefinitely.
Supposing that the estimate is 25 per
cent too 11igh, and the mill strikes an
average of 100 tons daily, there are
years OF work in sight, while develop
ments are only fairly begun.

Since leaving Salt Lake Mr.. Donohue

Goiconda, where Otto StalImann of this
city is directing operations. and Mr..
Donohue states that on this property
a fine copper concentration is being in-
stalled, with. daily capacity of 100
tons Of ore. While the power capacity
of the plant Will admit Of the adding
of another 100 tons at any time. At
the Golconda at least 100 tons of ere is
being taken out daily and hauled to

The careful examination that has
been made of the Uncle Sam mine, at
Eureka, Of late by well known experts,
has led to the belief that deal was on
looking towards the sale Of all or a
portion of this magnificent lead prop
erty. and this belief was confirmed last
Friday when cablegram was received
from London, addressed to an English
man NOW sujourning in this city, in
which the information was conveyed
that an English syndicate had &C
eepted the proposed terms for two
thirds interest in the mine, aud to CLOSE
up the DEAL
It is understood that the Uncle Sam
has been exported for the English syn
dictate by Otto Stallman, and that it
is more than likely that the deal will
be contaminated. and that this splendid
piece of property will soon be under the
control of our English cousins, who are
always on the lookout for good things
on this side Of the water.
The Uncle Sam is one of the wonders
of the day in Tintic mining circles and
its discovery bears out the statement
that mines are not always found by the
practical mining man, but that good
common sense is sometimes necessary
when looking for bonanza propositions.
When Jesse Knight began work on
the ground in which is embraced the
Uncle Sam mine, he was the subject of
ridfcule in mining circles all over tho
camp, but since he struck it rich the
tune has changed. and he is called a
lucky man, and now that ne has shipped
thousands of dollars worth of ore from
the mine in less than two years, and
