OUTLOOK FOR La PLATA
Bound to Make a Great Showing the
Coming Year

A. c. WINS of the Switch. which is
published at Ogden, was in the CITY
yesterday and informs The Herald
that there is every indication that La
Plata, north of Ogden, will come to the
front in great shape this season. In
fact. he is confident that it will be one
of the most active camps in the state.
There has never been any doubt as
to the extent and value of the mineral
deposits of La Plata, but the district
has met with adverse circumstances
which have greatly retarded its growth,
and the low price of silver and lead
quotations has not contributed any to
the advancement of the camp. Now,
however. II is believed that a large
amount of development work will be
done there this season. and that be-
fore the year draws to a close many
of the mines there will figure in the
market as shippers.
From Mr.. WINS it is learned that
John r. Porter, an experienced Colo
RADIO miner. has secured a bond and
option on the Red Jacket group, which
one Of which show deposits of heavy
lead ore, carrying some silver, while
the other is a copper proposition of
merit; and it is stated that Mr.. Por-
ter, who has plenty of money back of
him, proposes to develop the property
in p thorough manner this summer.
and that he expects to begin ore ship
ments within three months.
Other Colorado people are becoming
interested in the district, and it is
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-03-13

A week or so ago a good body of copper
ore was struck at this mine, and since
then more encouraging news has been
received tending to prove that the ore
body is permanent.
Late reports from Baker City. Oregon,
are of most encouraging nature, and
the valuable finds that have been made
in that section during the past few
weeks have been received with joy by a
number of Salt Lakers. as it appears that
they are strictly in it in the new finds.
Mention was made yesterday of the al
most phenomenally rich discovery in the
Crystal Palace mine, which is owned
by Messrs. Schenck & Rea ct al, of this
city; and on the top of this comes the re-
port of a. rich strike in the Gold Ridge
mine. which is owned by ]. E. Bamber-,
ger and his Salt Lake associates. Dave
Keith of Park City is interested in the
same locality. and it is stated that his
property is looking well. The Herald is
informed that other Salt Lake people are
interested in mining near Baker City.
and that their prospects and mines give
promise of developing into paying pro-
ducers. The Bonanza mine, near Baker
is partly owned by residents of this CITY

At the Edna Nav.

The Edna May, the property of the
Mercur Gold Production company. is
just now attracting a great deal of at
tention, owing to the excellent develop
ments which are being made. At the
bottom of the 150-foot incline, says the
Mercur Mercury, a drift has been run
for 100 feet, and this is in material
running from 1925 to $14.40 per ton. An
average of the assays made on the ore
for the past two weeks shows $3.50 per
ton-an excellent milling value. The
whole drift, which is four and cne-half
feet wide, is in ore of~this character,
and Manager Mayne will have to cross
cut both to the hanging and the foot
before he will be able to deter
mine the size of the vein. 1t is even
now big milling proposition. Three
shifts are pushing the work rapidly
ahead. Work has been resumed on
the Transvaal group, lying north of the
Gray Rooster and owned by the same
company, and two shifts are now
prosecuting development. With the ex-
perience gained since the discoveries in
the Daisy, La Cigale and Edna May
superintendent Mayne expects to have
no difficulties in finding values in a
short time.

learned that thew will begin active
operations as early in the spring as
possible. In fact, large amount of
Colorado, money is to be spent in La
Plata this season, in consequence of
which Ogden will be strictly in it as La
Plata, naturally, is tributory to the
Gate City.
Ogden people are also getting ready
to co some effective work this wear in
the DEVELOPMENT of La Plata claims.
among the number being Mr.. Wenger
and his crowd. who will go in as SON
as the condition of the weather will
permit.
Quite number of Logan people are
also interested in La Plata, and it is
understood that they are heavily in
terested in the Sunrise and the Sun
down properties, concerning the value
OF which there. is no 1oubt, and on
which considerable development work
has been done.
La Plata is admirably located as to
wood and water, and at no distant day
1t is likely to pose as one of the great.
est camps in Utah.

CONCESSIONS TO MINERS.
The Central Pacific Invites Co-opera-
ton of Prospectors.

w. H. Mills, as land agent for the
Central Pacific, says the San Diego
World, has issued a proclamation stat
ing that hereafter miners wishing to
prospect on patented raill cad lands can
do so under contract; that the company
is ready to relinQuiSh all claim to any
operated mine on railroad lands; that
hereafter all railroad lands which flay
be reasonably classified as mineral VIII
be held for the encouragement OF min
ing, and that the comDany'S policy will
be to encourage the discovery of min
erals and the development of mining
enterprises The important portions of
Mr. Mills official announcement are as
follows:
All occupants of agricultural land
who are using the lands Of the Central
Pacific Railroad company for agricul-
tural purposes are requested to notify
the land agent at San Francisco of
such occupancy and cultivation. All
persons having an actual operated mine
upon any odd numbered section of land
within the limits of the grant to the
California & Oregon Railroad company
are requested to notify the land agent
of the existence and operation of such
mine. The land actually within the
mining claim of any mine operated will
be relinuuished if the land is not pat
ented, and will be donated II the land
is patented. Persons wishing to pros
pect patented railroad land will do well
to notify the land agent of such de-
sire and they can enter into contracts
which will make the discovery of min
eral upon lands safe to the prospector.
All lands which may reasonably be
classified as mineral will be held for
encoura cement of mining. and mining
operations will be given the preference
of occupancy and use. unless such land
possesses a value for the timber grow
ing thereon. IN such cases a timber
value only will be assessed against
the land held for the encouragement
of mining, or, if patented, will be sold
at the minimum OF sips per acre, re-
serving the timber right In the dis
position of it's land the Central Pacific
Railroad company Will pursue the pol
icy OF encouraging the discovery Of
and the prosecution of min
ing ENTERPRISES and in no case will it's
title obstruct or discourage such en-
terDriseS.

A strike of ore has been made this
week in the Alaska shaft at a depth of
100 feet. The vein is said to be nearly
four feet wide and looks first class,
although we are unable to learn its
exact value.
Frank Harris, receiver of the United
States land office, and Jay T. Harris,
secretary of the Homestake Mining
company, came down Monday evening
to confer with President McGhan of
the Homestake in regard to matters
concerning the company

ject to our reporting them as getting
through the ground so fast.
The shaft of the Tennessee Rebel is
now down about lis feet and is going
down at the rate of foot and half
a day. The new steam hoist is re-
ported to be working in first-class
reported in the shaft, considerable
mineral bearing quartz now being en-
countered.
William Hatfield advises us that he
will commence the development of the
Martha Washington and Silver Coin
claims, in the south end of the dis
trict, as soon as the whether will per-
NIT the moving of machinery to the
ground. Mr. Hatfield holds an inter-
est in the property under contract
for a stated amount of development
work.
An increased flow of water on the
crosscut from the 300 level of the I'm
dine last Sunday forced the men out
of both the shaft and crosscut. The
face of the drift, which is being run
to tap the 10 Daley vein, was heavily
mineralized when the water stopped
the work, and Manager Wilson is con-
fdent that they were within a few
feet of the ore. He advises us that he
intends to at once cut a station on the
200-foot level and will drift on that
level toward the 10 Daley vein. The
10 Daley has produced much high
grade ore in past years on the tunnel
level. which only cuts the vein at
about 60 feet, and it is believed that
with depth it's productiteness will equal
if not excel it's old record.

THE BRICK CONSOLIDATED.
The Option on the Property Expires
on the 9Th of April.

Hon. Allen G. Campbell of this city,
who has been absent for the past four
months experimenting the operations
Of the Brick Consolidated mine, at
Vanderbilt, Cal, near the Nevada line,
returned home Thursday night and
when seen by a Herald representative
yesterday was receiving the congratu-
lations Of his many friends here over
his return.
Mr. Campbell has been a busy man
during his stay at Vanderbilt, where
he has been experimenting the devel-
opment of the Brick Consolidated
mine, and the additions and improve
ments that have been made at the
mill which, The Herald is informed, is
now treating about 80 tons Of ore daily
with an average cleanup from the
plates of SIG to the ton, in gold.
Mr.. Campbell also states that the
mine is looking well with large bodies
of ore blocked out in its various work.
lngs. In fact, the property is looking
better than ever before; and what is
more, and of great Importance. the
water supply has been materially in
creased so that the mill can be oper-
ated to a greater extent than hitherto
and for a longer period.
Two months or more ago The Herald
made the statement that bond had
been given on the Brick Consolidated.
This statement was denied by a
morning print, but Mr.. Campbell con-
firms the statement, and it is more
than likely that the bond will be taken
up, as the price named in the papers
was proposed by the intending pur-
chasers themselves. The option will
expire on the 8th Of April next. The
experts for the parties holding the
bond are now making an examination
of the property, and ii may be said
that the mine is as good as sold
The bond is held by a resident of De-
troit, and a representative of a Lon
don syndicate.
Mr.. Campbell is looking well and
hearty and his stay in the south has no
doubt agreed with him. If the Brick
Consolidated deal is consummated he
will doubtless have more time to de-
vote to his extensive Utah and Nevada
mining interests

A Runaway Whim.

In the Daisy mine there is a traDdoor
in the incline at every station. so that
while hosting from either level nothing
can fall down on the men below, says
the Mercur Mercury.
To this fact two men employed timber
ing in the bottom of the incline Tuesday
undoubtedly owe their lives, for the
whim- horse, an old-timer at the business,
became frightened and ran away. Hoist
ing was being done from the 115-level and
the men were timbering at a point so
feet further down. The horse hit rapid
gait and could not be stopped. He yanked
the bucket from the incline and up into
the roof. The shock tore the whim from
its moorings and down plunged the
heavy iron bucket into the incline,
smashing great timbers like pipestems
and wrecking the square sets in a num-
Der of cases. When it came to the trap
door its progress was stopped and the
men below. who had heard the commo-
ton, but were like rats in trap.
breathed a sigh of relief and their hair
resumed the normal condition.
