OFF FOR STATE LINE.
A Gentleman Who is Enthusiastic
Over This Gold Camp.

r. ]. Nugent, an experienced mining
operator, who recently secured a bond
and lease on the Rice group of gold
claims in the State Line district, de-
parted for that camp last night. Before
leaving, however, he stated to Herald
representative that he was of the opin-
ion that the district was a dandy"
and that it possessed the best surface
Indications that he ever saw. In fact"
said he, lit would be hard to over-esti-
mate the value of the district, as gold
IAN be found there almost everywhere.
Mr.. Nugent will begin at once the de-
velopment of the Rice group with a
good force of men, besides which he
will prospect the camp thoroughly this
summer.
One pleasing piece of news furnished
by Mr.. Nugent was that a Pennsyl-
vania company would erect a mill in
State Line this summer. and it is more
than likely that before the season is
over there will be several plants in the
district, and that goodly number of
stamps will be dropping there, as the
ore is all free milling and easily
handled.
Mr.. Nugent is highly impressed with
the different properties in the camp,
and is satisfied that with milling facili-
ties the mine owners there will make
"a barrel OF money.

Arthur McClosky the, veteran miner

located west of Cedar city in the very
heart of the great iron region which in

Gaping of an immense deposit of lead
ore that is silver bearing. and the de-
velopments that have been in progress
in the old Portland mine during the
past winter bids fair to bear out this
prediction.
The Portland, which is located but a
short distance from the big iron blow
out of that region, which is now owned
by the Pinto Iron Mining company,
has made a reputation in the past as
a producer of high-grade silver and
lead ore at the surface. This ground

AS it was the intention of the COM
pany to develop the property in thor
ough manner, a double compartment
shaft was started in the country rock
some distance below the ledge. The
shaft is Az by feet in the clear and
is well timbered fro mtop to bottom
1t is now down to a depth of 80 feet
and from the bottom a drift was run
for the vein and at a distance of 40 feet
from the shaft a 12-inch body of ore
was encountered that carries average
values of 40 per cent lead, 60 ounces
silver and Sc in gold to the ton, while
there are spots in the ledge from
which assays of 80 ounces silver and
S137 in gold TO the ton have been OBJ
tanned.
This is a fine showing. and Mr.. Nc
Closky is confident that with the ex-
tension of the level mammoth body
of ore will be uncovered.
In the same locality there are other
promising properties. including the old
Blair mine, which has been relocated
by Little Pinto and Cedar city parties.
There is no doubt as TO the value Of
the Blair as the workings have dis
closed fine bodies of high-grade silver
ore and shipments have been made
from the property that gave good re-
turns, notwithstanding the long wagon
haul to the railroad.
Further down the canyon there are
good deposits of copper, while in the
near vicinity of Little Pinto some very
promising lodges of zinc which carry
high in this metal.
Mr. McClosky states that Cedar city
is enjoying considerable growth and
that the people there are enthusiastic
over the outlook for the securing of
the Normal college for that place
He also states that this will be
great wear for State Line district. and
that this is one of the most inviting
fields for prospectors that he knows of.

John DAILY and the Daly-west.

A great many people are interested
at the present time in John ]. Daily
and his state of health, and not only
because he has a host of friends who
are interested in his welfare. but also
because of the fact that he controls
large interests and the future of
large number of people depend largely
on his ability to push a number of en-
terprises to a successful completion.
Mr. Daily is in New York where he
has just undergone an operation for
APPENDICITIS. and it is with pleasure
that it is learned that the operation
was a successful one and that he is
now on the highway to recovery.
One of the enterprises that the peo-
pie of Park City are interested in is
the completion of the Peck concentra-
tor This plant was to have been fin
ished some time ago. and it is under
stood that the promoters of the project
put up a forfeit of $4,000 with Mr..
Daily to insure its completion within
the time specified. This period has
come and gone and the cOncentrator is
no nearer ready for operation than it
was six months ago. The interests
and welfare of large number of peo-
pie are involved in the construction
and operation of this concentration, and
they are anxious to learn what Mr..
Dolly proposes 10 90 IN tne premises
Then again. the Daily West mine has
been extensively developed and the
amount of ore that is exposed in the
workings of this property is something
astonishing, while on the dump it is
estimated there is more than $4,000 in
ore waiting for shipment; the point has
been reached in the operation of this
property where it should begin to pay
dividends to it's stockholders. and on
its active working or otherwise depends
the fate. to a certain degree, of a large
number of workingmen.
There is also the threatened litigation
between the Daily West and the Nor
gan to look after. and, taking it all in
all, much depends on Mr.. DAILY as TO
the prosperity of the camp, and the
people there are anxiously awaiting his
movements to see just what will be
done when he is able to be around
again.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-04-18

From all indications the west dip. in
of active operations this season, and
the pace has been set by the Mercur &
Boston Gold Mining company, which,
in the development of the La Cigale
group of mines, has demonstrated the
fact that this is one of the most heav-
lily mineralized portions in the district;
and now that the company is hard at
work in the erection of its mill ii will
not be long before Camp Floyd can
boast of another producer and dividend
payer.
AS stated in these columns a few
days ago. the La Cigale mill will be
one of the finest plants in the west,
and it is expected that it will be in
successful operation within the next 80
days.
From c. H. Schue, who was one of
the first to call attention TO the wealth
of gold held in the embrace of the
west dip country, it is learned that
some of the lumber for the new mill
is already beginning to arrive, and that
the work of eXcavating for the foun-
dations for the plant is progressing
finely. Work is also being pushed in
the construction of the pipe line that
is to bring water to the new camp
from Ophir creek, and the system is to
be completed by the time that the mill
is ready for work.
In speaking of the property. Mr..
Schue states that it is showing up bet
ter and larger than ever as develop
ment work progresses. and that already
he has opened up 1900 feet of ground
in the different levels between the dis
covery incline and the Boston shaft,
all of which is q solid mass of milling
ore, and all of this has been done since
last December; while at the present
time all of the workings in the mine
are being pushed ahead at the rate of
four feet a day. This is a most credit
able showing and it would be hard TO
been done in such a short space of
time.
The Mercur & Boston company has
recently plated a townsite at the mine
which has been named La Cigale City.
and it is stated that the lots are going
like hot cakes, as 50 have been disposed
of since last week Thursday.
The site is a beautiful one: the eli
mate is superb, on account of the west
ern exposure, and as soon as the water
system is inaugurated it is confidently
expected that the new camp will grow
into a flourishing town..
The Edna May and other west dip
properties are making splendid show
ings and il is almost a sure thing that
several mills will be erected in that To-
cality during the present year.

SALE OF IRON MINES.
A Big Mining Deal in Eastern Wy
oming.

Cheyenne, Wyo., April 16.-The largest
mining deal in the history of eastern
Wyoming was consummated here yes
terday. when W. S. Ward, representing
Receiver Frank Tfm bull, of the Union
Pacific, Denver & Gulf railway, pur-
chased the Blue Bird and Good Fortune
iron mines in the Hartville district, 100
miles north of this place. The price
paid was $4,000
During the past three months 100 cars
of the Hartville ore has been shipped
to Denver and Pueblo smelters, where
it was used for fiuxing purposes with
marked success. The ore, which is not
surpassed by the Lake Superior article
even, attracted widespread attention.
and as a result the mines are in de-
mand.
Last week an agent of the Carnegie
steel concern visited the district and
made a very favorable report, stating.
among other things. that the product
could be profitably used in the manu-
facture of armOr plate
The Denver & Gulf people will begin
AT once the work of constructing a
spur from the main line at Badger to
the mines. a distance of II miles. The
company also has in contemplation the
changing of its northern terminus,
which is now located at Grin Junction,
to Lusk, on the F. E. and NJ. V. The
rails will be torn uD between Badger
and the present terminus. the road
abandoned and rebuilt through the
Hartville district to Lusk. If this move
is made, some of the richest deposits
