The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-07-29

]. Eisenmann, of Phoebe and De Lamar,
who is well known in Salt Lake and in
southeastern Nevada, is in the city
from Phoebe and De Lamar where, for a
number of years he has been success
fully engaged in business and mining
pursuits.
Mr. Eisenmann is heavily interested
with T. R. Jones, of this city, in the
Magnolia gold mine at De Lamar, which
was the first discovery of the yellow
metal in Ferguson district.
In speaking of the camp Mr.. Eisen-
mann stated that it was in prosperous
condition. while the showing in the
Magnolia was all that could be desired.
In this property the lower workings
are all in fine bodies of nigh grade ore.
For IS months the owners of this prom
Using property have kept a force of 10
men constantly at work in the perform
ance Of development work and in pros
pecting. During this period no stopping
whatever has been done, and yet the
ore extracted in running the different
drifts, wines, etc, has been more than
sufficient to defTay the operating ex
penses of the property and the amount
of pay mineral blocked out in the mine
represents a small fortune, while there
is every evidence that the deposits are
permanent and continuous.
When Mr.. Eisenmann left De Lamar
another shipment of % tons of ore was
being loaded and will soon be received
in this city. The ore goes high in gold,
as the last assignment netted $21043 to
the ton after the payment of freight
charges and other expenses, which
demonstrates that the rock is rich in the
yellow metal, as the freight charges
from De Lamar to Salt Lake are now
1882 per ton, which includes the long
wagon haul.
In the near future as in the past, no
Stopping will be done in the working of
the Magnolia, it being the intention to
still further develop the property, and
with this in view the workings will be
sunk 10 a much greater depth. a 100
foot winZe has already been sunk from
the face of the 900-foot tunnel, but
work in this direction with a windlass
is impracticable, and one Of the objects
of Mr.. Eisenmann's visit to Salt Lake
is the purchase of a coaloil or gasoline
hoist. which viii be installed in the
tunnel, when sinking will be resumed.
Mr. Eisenmann states that the De
Lamar mine and mill are keeping up
their regular output and that the prop
erty is gaining in value daily. The
the mill on the property has been run
ming every minute night and day since
its erection, and the company is max
ing handsome cleanups regularly, be-
sides which the property is daily en-
HANGING in value.
Work on the Orc, adjoining the Mag
nolia, has been suspended temporarily.
This is a promising prospect, and in
the bottom of the shaft there is a six
or eight inch streak of ore that carries
values of 1000 ounces in silver to the
ton. The shaft on this ground is now
down to the T5-foot level and it is be-
lieved that with greater depth the size
of the ore body will increase.
Mr.. Eisenmann spoke very highly of
Eagle Valley district and is of the
opinion that if all accounts are true
this will eventually come to the front
as one of the greatest gold producing
camps in the west. He also stated that
he had heard nothing but good ac
counts from State Line, and that many
prespectors and mining men are now
investigating into the merits of this
camp.
