A porphyry dixie intersects the vein
IN the latter property, and, according
TO calculations made by Manager Aus
tin BemiS, a large body that had been
worked -eut-in an upper level ought to
be found at a lower depth, at a certain
point on the east side OF the dixie.
About three weeks ago Mr. Bemis
started a cross-cut from what is
known as the Eitchell tunnel to go
through the porphyry, and several days
since the task was not only completed.
but a body of galena abutuing the dixie
broken into. The cross-cut, 5x6 feet.
has been run several feet beyond the
porphyry, all in ore assaJing AZ per
cent lead.
Mr.. Bemis has reason to congratulate
himself on his judgment in determining
so exactly the trend of the ore chute,
and has probably made discovery
which will soon bring the Eighty Nine
into prominence as extending the list
of wonders of Spanish hill, which in
times past added millions of dollars to
the output of Bingham.
The Eitchell tunnel from which this
strike was made, is vertically about $50
feet from surface. which is the extreme
depth of the workings of the Niagara
mines.
The new concentration being complet-
ed by Messrs. Swan, Bemis K Co. is to
be known as the Dewey mill, ana OPP
Grated by the Dewey Consolidated Min
ing & Milling company OF Utah. The
company was Incorporated this week
with capital stock of $4,000, to de-
velop mining property in Bingham.
John L. Weber is president. George l..
Bemis vice president, Daniel L. Swan
secretary and treasurer, and the other
incorporators and directors are Fred
H. Bemis and John j. Kearns. 1t is
understood the company Will soon be-
gin developments on mining property
in its control and to be worked in con-
nection with the mill. Though work
on the latter has been much delayed
by bad weather, it will soon be run
ming.
DIPS AND SPURS.
The almost steady rain has paralyzed
ore movements.
The Giant Chief concentration will
start today on a 1.OO0-ton contract with
Sampson &, Co., leasers of the Neptune
and Kemoton.
Two carloads of machinery for the
Old Jordan cyanide plant, including
dryer, crusher and rolls, are now at
the depot. Two cars of tanks were de
liVered last week. The lumber requir-
ed for the building is not far from 100,-
900 feet.
Manager George w. Keel of the But
terrified Mining company is expecting
q visit shortly from leading members
of the directory, residents OF Par1s,
when plans for the future operations
of the Butterfield canyon mines Will be
considered.
Colonel E. A Wall, who was in camp
Wednesday looking after his various
interests, has started shaft on one of
the Dick Macintosh group of six
claims, which we learn is to be sunk
to considerable depth. Colonel Wall is
a strong believer in deeper work Tor
the main canyon.
The Cuba above the Argonaut placer,
is making a fine showing of copper ore,
in the drift lately started from the bot
tom of the Wine. This is the property
in the opening tunnel of which was
followed a considerable streak OF oXl-
died ore, carrying IS to 80 per cent
copper. It is one of the most Dromis-
ing new claims in the district now
working.
The Heaston water power 1lgS began
work this week on 2 100-ton lot of Julia
Dean second-class, and has prospects
of plenty of work to do. Better results
are obtained from Julia Dean ore by
jigging than by any other process yet
tried. Where pulverizing was done
before concentration, nearly all values
were lost.
The Big Giant and Little Cottonwood,
owned by Hazelgrove & Co., are being
surveyed for patent They are under
a three-years' lease and bond to Jacob
Poudler, and we understand consider
able DEVELOPMENT work is to be done
this season. The Little Cottonwood has
a tunnel, now in over 400 feet, which is
being run to tap several promising
veins intersecting the ground.
