Mining at Silver Reef.

Bishop James Andrus of st. George,
who is in the city attending conference,
informs The Herald that there is con-
siderable activity at the present time
in Silver Reef, in Washington county,
the old camp from whose sandstone
lodges millions in the white metal have
already been wrested, and which give
promise Of yielding up many thousands
more in the near future.
Bishop Andrus is one of the well
known and popular firm of Woolley,
Lund & Judd of st. George, the asso-
cation being the owner of many val
liable properties in Silver Reef, as well
as of the Barbee and Walker mill, and
he states that this fall from IS to 20
men are employed in the camp, most of
whom are leasers and chloriders, and
he adds that they are now taking out
considerable high grade ore, the values
ranging from % to 200 ounces in silver
to the ton, much of which comes from
new disclosures of mineral in the
Thompson and McNally mines, al
though other old producers are adding
their quota to the imperishable wealth
of the world.
On account of the exceedingly dry
season the mill will not be started up
until later in the fall. but when start
is made it is anticipated a lot of ore
Will be piled up ready for treatment

LARGE LEDGE OF PHoNoLITE.
Another Important Gold Discovery
On Gold Mountain.

On Gold Mountain.
Richfeld, Oct 6.-For the past two
days A z. Smith and T. Ammon, two
Gold Mountain prospectors, have been
in this city for more provisions and
supplies. Mr.. Smith will visit his fam
lily in Castle Dale for a few days, when
he will return TO the mountain and
work the whole winter. Both men are
thorough and experienced prospectors,
having spent almost their entire lives
looking for the precious metals.
While in this city Mr.. Smith informed
The Herald correspondent of q recent
strike made in Gold Mountain district
which may prove 10 be one of the
greatest mines in that section of the
country. He claims that he has struck
2 ledge of phonolite ore which is SO
feet in width. In this body of phOno-
lite there are five separate ore pipes
of geyser formation, varying in size
from - TO Is inches thick.
Mr.. Smith and his partner have done
some work on this property showing
the ore pipes, the mineral being
honey combed quartz, carrying values
Of about SIS i'll gold to the ton, with
some silver. The Rhonolite around
these pipes wilt pan well, and although
no assays have ever been made on it,
the colors obtained in a pan would
represent anything from IS to SO per
ton.
There is a man on the mountain from
Cripple Greek who claims the rock is
the same and the formation is the same
as the greatest mines of his home.
The two finders of the supposed DO
nanza were out on a prospecting tour
when they located this mine, which
they called the. Golden Crater. They
only had rations for two days, but they
became so excited at the strike, and
as there were a number of other pros
pectors in the same vicinity, they
stayed on the ground for nine days to
guard against anyone jumping it. The
last seven days, however, the only
thing they had to eat was bread and
what wild gOoseberries they could picl,
near their strike.
The claim is located on the very top
of Shale basin, about one-half mile
above the famous Mammoth property.
Directly over two of the geyser pipes
passes the old Spanish trail from Wyo-
ming to Dixie. From the indications of
the surrounding ground and also the
fact that on one of these pipes is a
filled-up shaft, no one knowing the
depth. it is thought that one of the old
Spanish mines has been found, from
which so much gold was taken years
ago.
Since this strike was made ali the
ground near the place has been staked
off, and now there are more miners
and prospectOrs in that small basin
than in all the rest of the district

than realized. The ledge was much
larger than on the surface and assays
very high. Mr.. Meehan acts like
man who has a mighty good thing and
proposes to stay by it.
In the same district, not far from
Meehan's claim, is the Carlson mine,
recently bonded TO Captain StrOfsn and
some eastern capitalists. This prop
erty promises TO become one of the most
valuable in the state. Development
work is being pushed with great energy.
The parties now in control will fulfill
the conditions of their bond, and be
fore many months have passed Will
have in operation upon the claim
complete plant for the reduction or the
ore, furnishing employment to quite a
number of men,.
Here we meet with one of those rare
instances in which a poor miner makes
6 stake. Many years ago S. 2. Carlson
discovered this mine which bears his
name. He started in to develop it. Sew
eral thousand dollars in hard-earned
cash and years of labor went into tun-
nels and shafts and nothing came out
except fine prospects. Most men would
have abandoned the claim, but with
that logged perseverance so character
istic of his race Carlson kept on until
he had uncovered one of the finest
bodies of ore in the state. He then sue
ceeded in interesting in the property
parties of means and eventually in
bUnding it to Captain Strohm and as
sociate for $4,000.
Speaking OF the Mardis district gen.
eraily Mr.. Meehan says that, although
many prospectOrs have been in there
thls season, still the country is COM
paratively Unprospected. for the simple
reas IN tEat most Drospectors do but
scratch the surface. He considers 1t

On Mineral Hill.

Ollie Young, who is hard at work in
the development of the Silver King
lode, on Mineral hill, in Clifton district.
in the Deep Creek country. writes to
his brother, B. II. Young of this city
that in the face of the S0-foot cross
cut tunnel in this property he has
broken into large body of nice silver
lead ore, the mineral running especially
high in lead.
Both of these gentlemen are feeling
good over the strike, and feel confident
that the property will in time rank as
a heavy producer of the precious met
ais. and especially so if the Deep Creek
country is ever blessed with railroad
facilities.
Mr.. Young also states that George W.
Brown. who is developing the st. Louis
on Mineral hill, on a vein paralleling
the Silver King, has opened nice body
Of ore of about the same character and
value. and that this property is re-
spending to the application of labor
and the expenditure of money in most
gratifying manner.

Omaha Developments.

The Omaha. on the west dip of Camp
Floyd district, is receiving a great deal
Of attention at the present time, at the
hands OF mining men and stock deal
ers, and it is believed that the property
is worthy of it all, as ii is stated on
good authority that in the develop
ment of this property good bodies of
excellent milling gold ores are being
exposed The Herald being reliably in
formed that on Thursday of this week
SAMPLES were taken from the bottom
of incline No l, which is near the La
Cigale workings, assayed from $3.50 to
$40 TO the ton in the yellow metal.
while in incline No. 2 which is about
500 feet south of No. 1 incline, and
which has attained about the same
depth, samples were also taken from
the bottom Of the workings Thursday
which showed gold to the extent of IS
to the ton when subjected to tests by
fire.
The company is theoretically prose-
cutting the extensive development of
the Omaha, and is well pleased with
disclosures so far.

ANSWER.

According to Colorado supreme
court decision, B never had any right
or title to that portion of his claim
or location overlapping the prior loca-
ton made by A, and to acquire such
title in case A lost or abandoned his
claim, B would be obliged to file an
amended location notice, stating that
the object was to take in that portion
Of AS previous location covered by BIS
junior location. But, in the event that
C had located the claim abandoned or
lost by A before B had made his
amended location, would have undis-
puted right to the claim, and his title
would be perfect, provided there were
no prior locations or conflicts, B never
having any legal claim to any portion
of As ground.

JIGs FOR THE INTERNATIONAL.
Large Body of Ore Blocked Out
Awaiting Extraction.

NJ. Kopp. the president of the Inter
national Mining company, which is the
owner of a silver-lead producer in Blue
Bell district, in Tooele county, will
leave for the mine today for the pur-
pose Of completing arrangements for
the installation of a small reduction
plant on the ground. it being the inten-
ton 20 put in a crusher and several
jigs for the ton of the pro-
duct Of the property, which carries me-
tallic values ranging from S14 TO S24 in
silver and lead to the ton, and it is es-
timated that the ore can be mined and
milied at a cost not exceeding SLIGO to
the ton, the capacity of the plant to
be in the neighborhood of % tons
daily.
In speaking of the mine. Mr. Kopp
stated that it was estimated that at
least 10000 tons of this class of ore are
blocked out in its workings, while work
is being vigorously pushed in its con-
tinued development, every day adding
to the wealth of mineral exposed in the
mine.
In his trip to the mine Mr.. Kopp will
be accompanied by c. W. Peck and
Phil Neder.
