L.
Clarence K and Willis Mccormick
were down, Tuesday. looking over thu
Rabbit Foot mine at Silver City. The!
express themselves as very mucl
pleased with the progress of develop
ment.
Work has been temporarily suspended
on the Tetro tunnel and arrangement:
are now being made to prosecute the
development with drills. Work vii
probably be recommended in very
short time-at least, as soon as the new
machinery is received.
H G. Bacorn reports that the Sioux
mill is running very satisfactorily. Be-
sides the Sioux and Utah ores, or
which they are now working, the bins
are full of custom ores and it is ex-
pected that the mill viii have a plen-
tiful supply to run continuously
President Frank Harris of the Home
stake Mining company advises US that
/ the flow Of water in that property is
not increasing to any extent and can
! easily be taken care of with a bucket
/ He also states that the work under
the contract is progressing satisfactor-
| lily
J. E. Oglesby of the Emerald Mining
! company was out on Sunday looking
after matters at that property. Mr.
Oglesby confirms the report of the re-
cent ore strike on the 400 level of the
Emerald, although he says that it has
not been sufficiently explored to show
| its extent. He also reports the discOv-
cry of ore carrying both copper lJld
lead in the bottom of the shaft al a
depth of 6S4 feet. 1t looks very much
as though the Emerald was going to
prove a winner.
George Sutherland of the law firm of
Williams, Van Colt G Sutherland, who
is also one of the directors of the
May Day Mining and Milling company,
was down on Sunday looking over that
property. He expresses much satisfac-
ton at the progress of the development
of the mine.
The Silver City Gold and Silver Min
ing company is preparing to protest
the patent application of the Rabbit
Foot Mining company at Silver City,
and to that end made survey of the
conflict this week. The conflict all
legged is between the Wheeler lode be-
longing to the Silver City company,
and the Evening Star, belonging to the
Rabbit Foot company.
Prospecting in the Uncle Sam and
Humbug is being prosecuted as usual
The lower tunnel on the Uncle Sam is
expected to tap the new shaft inside of
the next two or three days, and then
prospecting along the vein will COM
mence. The shaft will. however, be
continued downward. Inside of an
other week the wealth of the Uncle
Sam ought to begin to flow through
the new tunnel, where the facilities
for handling the ore are much superior
to those CT the present arrangement.
c. E. Loose was up from Provo on
Monday looking after matters at the
Grand Central. He advises US that the
recent ore strike in that property APP
pears to be Of immense size and of
good grade, although 1t has not been
sufficiently prospected to show its real
extent. A short piece of wagon road
has been constructed near the mine to
facilitate hauling, and the ore com
menced going down the hill on We'd
nesday. 1t is expected that two car
loads will be ready to ship in a very
few days.
Martin K Hardness, the we'll known
mining expert, who examined the Hot
Stuff mine in North Tintic last Fri
day, gives a most glowing report of
the condition and appearance of the
property. The connection has now been
made between the upper and lower
tunnels and a Wine has been started
for the second connection. The dolo-
mite hanging wall is perfect and a fine
strata of ore is developing, carrying a
fair percentage of copper. Taken as
whole, Mr.. Hardness regards the prop
erty as being in fine shape and says it
is certainly mine.
Shipments from the district for The
week are as follows: From the Bull
Beck, 20 carloads ore; from the
Observation-Disclosures, 3 carloads ore;
from the Eureka-Hill mill, II carloads
from the Gemini, 8 car
loads ore; from.,the Uncle Sam, 6 car
loads ore; from the Utah, 8 carloads
ore; from the Mammoth mine, car
loads ore; from the Sioux mill, 2 car
loads concentrates; from the Swansea, !
5 carloads ore; from the South Swan
sea, s carloads ore; from the North
Star. 8 carloads ore; from the Dragon
Iron mine. SO carloads ore.
S. O. Snyder who has for long time
been acting as engineer at the Swan /
sea mine, and who at the last annual /
meeting was elected secretary of the
company has resigned his position at the /
mine and has gone to Salt Lake, where
under his Office as secretary he takes (
Swansea Mining. company at the last 1
meeting decided to establish in that
city. MIR. Snyder is succeeded as en-
gineer at the Swansea by H. B. Blades, /
an old time engineer of the Rio Grande /
Western railway.
y new contract for so feet of sink
ng in the Homestake shaft has been
iWaGQSQ TO OIeNC D1IDy, JOe DOyIc anu
others and work was commenced last
Friday The present contract Will
larry the shaft down TO the 400-foot
evel, from which point we understand
t is the intention of the company 10
,rosscut for the vein. It is believed by
hose thoroughly acquainted with the
development of the Homestake and the
appearance and character of the vein
appel on the upper levels, that the
udicious expenditure of the proceeds
# the recent assessment will put the
property on self sustaining basis.
A deal was closed last Saturday in
which Jesse knight becomes the owner
# a valua Die piece of ground at Rob-
nson. or lower Mammoth. The prop
rty consists of the Belle of Memphis,
part of the old Herlimer group,
Which is patented ground, and a group
f six other locations to the west of the
Ierkimer, and running across the
lat below the town of Robinson. Mr..
Knight purchased the ground of Pat
)onahue, H. NJ. Ryan and Pat Condor,
he purchase price being $4,000. The
round embraces the lower Robinson
ownsite, but it is Mr.. Knights inten-
ion to develop it for a new mine. The
round is very favorably regarded, as
seems probable that it carries the
orth extension of the Swansea mine,
