ent the lowest workings attained by
the present management. Here drift
has been driven distance of about
80 feet north to interSect the vein en-
countered on the first level on its dip
After cutting the vein, which at this
point is about ten feet in width, drifts
were run on the vein east and west
which show a good grade of milling ore
the entire length. Considerable stop
ing has been done in the west drift on
this level, the ore carrying more sui
phurets and is of much higher grade
than that encountered in the upper
level on the same vein. About $50
sacks of ore have been extracted and
stored on this level. which shows val
ues of $500 per ton in gold, and will be
shipped as soon as carload lot can
be made. The company now has some
ten tons more stored at Elko and a
shipment can be expected any day.
The present working shaft has been
found too small for extensive working,
being merely prospecting shaft, single
compartment and crooked. The COM
pany will shortly commence the sink
ing of a new double compartment
working shaft about 200 feet north and
100 feet west of the present shaft This
shaft will cut the vein on its dip at
about 200 feet, thus providing ample
backs for Stopping and permit of the
ground being worked from a more adj
vantageous point. The management
has secured the old Nava jo mill, which
will be fitted UP and provided with
30-horse power gasoline engine. Mr.. E.
L. McMahan, one of the oldest expert
enced millmen in the state, will super
intend the milling of the Ezra product,
and by the LIST of next month the ten
stamps viii be dropping on Ezra ore.
There are now on the surface dumps
aggregating over 100. 600 tons of milling
ore taken out by the former owner dur
ing the years past. Careful and re-
peated sampling of these dumps by eX-
perts have proven that they will aver
age over so per ton in gold. By this
1t may be seen that long mill run is
assured without depending on extrac-
ton from the mine.
The Ezra Mining company is incor-
porated under the laws of the state of
Maine. The capital stock is placed at
S25O,OO0, divided into 10000 shares. at
$25 each. The officers of the company
are as follows: President and man
ager, r. Trefethen, Tuscarora, New.
vice president Sidney L. Smith, Tus-
carora; secretary, C. o. Ellingwood.
Haverhill, Mass; treasurer, NJ. D. NAL
bon, Haverhill, Mass. From the man
agement here we understand only so
much of the capital stock of the COM
pany will be sold as will provide for
the erection of the necessary works to
properly develop the mine. The pres
ent workings will provide sufficient
revenue to pay all operating expenses
and leave a handsome margin as soon
as shipping begins and the mill starts
crushing.
Taking all into consideration, the
people of TuScarora can see a bright
future for the old camp. The famous
Dexter, fianked on the west by the
Ezra and on the east by the Young

In its review Of events in mining
circles in Bingham during the past
week, the Bulletin says:
Judge Lee has at his office a chunk
of galena weighing 20 pounds that
came from the Wedge, the claim OPP

The ore, which comes from an incline
shaft, averages about 50 per cent lead.
1t opens and pinches like a string OF
sausage, varying from three TO four
teen inches in width, but is widening
and becoming more regular.

silver and 81 gold The vein Is near
the sideline of the Julia 5 extension,
and crosses the divide into Tooele

not enough work had been done TO de-
ternine its extent.
A very important strike in the 400 OF
the Winnamuck is reported, and con-
siderable first-class ore is coming from
that level Superintendent Cook is IN
the CITY. and no one authorized to give
out information was at the mine yes
terday We have a pointer, however,
that leads us TO believe the Wilma
muck will furnish matter for an IN
teresting item next week.
Colonel E A. Wall has taken bond
and lease on the All's Well group OF
six claims we'll known and valuable
property central in the copper belt he
has started work on the property and
is resuming the sinking of an incline
shaft, which was down 80 feet.

dict that business in Bingham Will
show Improvement this month, and
steadily increase during the balance Of
the season. A start is being made for
an increase in shipments compared
with June.
The promoters of the Swan-Bemis
mill are highly pleased with its sue
cess. 1t is working like a charm in
every part, and results are excellent
A lot of second-cIass from the Rough
and Ready is next in order.
Superintendent Heaston started up
the old Markham mill yesterday and is
making a test run on Ten-Forty sec
ond-class. of which there are many
tons on the dump.
The Swami emis mill this week
turned out Spanish ore concentrates at
the rate of IS tons daily, and the prod
uct up to yesterday has been shipped.
Excellent reports continue to come
from the Maxwell group, and there is
little doubt that Colonel Wall is on
the trail of a big mine.
A raise has been made from the
Starlus drain tunnel for air. and good
circulation for the incline and $50 level
is thus obtained.
Manager ClayS is shipping a batch
of high grade from the Julia Dean.
The Frisco is putting in larger
pumping capacity, and about to resume
sinking.

wYoMING's COPPER BELT.
A Zone of Mineral Seven Miles In
Length.

Messrs. ]. F. Landon, Boney Ear
nest and S. Parkins of Carbon county
and E. J. Rice of Jonesboro, Ark, and
J. F. Browning of Deadwood, S. D.,
came into Rawlins, Tuesday. from a
two months prospecting tour along the
great divide, north and west of the
Doane copper mine
For the past three weeks various
vague rumors of the discovery of a
great copper mineral belt have been in
the air, and so many numerous min
eral discoveries have been made re-
Gently that but little attention was
paid to this last find
1t seems now. however, that the
copper float which dots the hills from
Hog Park to the Slavery, is traced to
a belt which extends on the east from
North Park, ranging along, then across
the continental divide clear to the
north side of the Sandstone.
The recent discovery made by these
gentlemen, who have just returned
from their camps, definitely locates a
belt seven miles long. Along this cop
per belt groupings show up unmistak-
ably and on the north end Mr.. James
Douglas of Snake river has located
some eleven claims, and Messrs Ear
nest. Landon, Rice. Browning and
Parkins the rest of the south end of
the belt.
Ore. rich in copper and iron, has
been brought in for thorough test.
A quartzite cap covers the country
for miles across which the copper lead
breaks through and has been easily
followed and located.
Assessment work on these locations
has been completed and a competent
assayer has stated that under this
quartzite cap immense bodies of

A Good ouartz Discovery.

Idaho City Gda.) World: Ed Pierce,
who was in town yesterday, informs
the World that the Stevens Bros. have
made a good quartz discovery a short
distance below the old Black corral,
and about a mile west OF the Gold
Eagle claim. owned by Pierce and
William High. The Gold Eagle is
about mile north of the Boise road
and seven or eight miles from this
place. The Stevens boys are now
rocking a short distance below the
ledge. The ground Is good and the gold
very coarse. They have been at work
on the ledge about month. Superin
tendent Johnson, of the Checkmate
mine, on Willow creek, has examined
the Stevens claim, and is now examin-
ing the Gold Eagle, and also the Ida
May, half a mile below the Gold Eagle.
The Ida May is owned by Pierce.

THREE MILE CANYON.
Good Showing of Ore In the Growth
er-Housley Group.

Mr.. E. D. Crowther of Salt Lake
City and one of his sons We're in Brig
ham a few days ago on business per-
tanning to their mining property in the
Three Mile Creek canyon, says the
Brigham City News. Mr. Crowther is
enthusiastic in his conviction that
there is a fine prospect of a good min
ing camp being established there before
long. The samples of ore he had along
with him would seem to indicate that
his faith has a proper foundation. A
short time ago he had some of the ore
assayed. which showed as follows:
From a selected piece, 6S.9 per cent
lead, Is ounces silver and $210 gold.
From an average sample, 81 per cent
lead, IA ounces silver and $1.S5 gold.
He states that there is a true vein of
ore 19 inches in width. On one of the
mines of the Crowther-Housley group
an incline shaft has been run for ~
feet, and the vein has increased in size
right along.
Mr. Crowther and sons and Mr.
Housley, the former blacksmith of
Perry. are now busy developing the
to the valley below, which will soon be
completed. They expect to ship %
sacks of ore next week and Is the
week following, and hope to be able to
ship q carload within a month.
The ore is similar to that Of the La
Plata mines in Cache county, but the
Crowther-H ousley group has a de-
cided advantage over them in having
a we'll developed vein. Besides the
mines already claimed, Mr.. Crowther
states that there are other good pros
poets in that vicinity which he thinks
will be equally as valuable as those
now being worked.

The Magnolia Mine.

In speaking of the Magnolia mine, at
De Lamar. New. in which Banker T. R.
Jones of this city is interested, the De
Lamar Lode says:
Good reports continue to come from
the Magnolia mine at Ferguson dis
trict, and the owners are in good spirits
over recent developments.
When the ore chute was reached last
summer in the main drift the bulk of
the work was spent in sinking on it
in two or three places. A few weeks
ago the main drift was started ahead
again on a thin seam of high.grade ore.
which gradually widened, until now.
at 90 feet, the whole face of the drift
is in pay ore. foot of which issxery
high grade. and the rhine is said to look
better now. and to hold more promise,
than at any time in its history.
The opening of a big property on
that side of the district would be no
surprise to anybody who has mined
in that section, as, outside of the Mag
nolia itself, a number of ore seams
have been encountered on Gold hill.

NERVE IN MINING.
The Mining World Paws a Tribute

to Captain De Lamar.
While nerve alone will not insure the
success of a man in the mining in
dustry, says the Mining World, of
Butte, Mont, it is one of the chief es-
sentials of success. The man who lacks
it will fail to overtake success in 80
cases in every hundred. In no other
vocation is the courage challenged so
often. In no field of effort is there
greater demand for energy and faith.
There is not a mining district in the
west that is destitute of its heroes who
have bravely stood UP against the
most discouraging circumstances ever
encountered by man, struggling to
overcome conditions that fore-Shadow
disappointment and defeat Occasion
ally there are conspicuous examples OF
this type. Montana has had its full
quota and is proud of the record made
by the men who have had the nerve
to stand by their guns until the strug-
gle with fate was won
Utah has a mining hero in the per-
son of Captain DeLamar, man OF
unconquerable nerve and determine
ton In the Mercur district he spent
$1,000, 900 before realizing one dollar in
return, but as a result stands ready
to pull out that amount per annum

and judgment enables him to realize
100 per cent on his investment, instead
of the per cent which the money
loaning capitalists would be contented
to receive Usually men of DeLamar's
wealth refuse to bother themselves
with new ventures involving worry and
anxiety and which may swallow up a
large portion of their wealth without
Welding adequate returns, but Utah's
nervy investor plunged ahead and
wins success by the very audacity of
his methods His investments mean
an expenditure of S1,0O0.0OO year

Mining Notes.

Albion Qda.) Times: William
Majors, for some time employed at
the Vipont mine, William Stewart, of
the Alice mine, on Conner creek, and
r. Hood, met in this city Saturday and
together left for the Occur d'Alene
country, in north Idaho. where they
expect to follow the mining business.
Albion Qda.) Times: The owners of
the Comora mine, on Conner creek, are
raising to the surface for an air shaft
from the end of the long tunnel. When
this is completed it is proposed TO con-
tinue driving the tunnel ahead several
hundred feet in hopes of encountering
the chute of rich gold ore which was
found on the surface.
1t seems that Captain ]. R. De Lamar
is also increasing the capacity of his
mill at De Lamar New, as the Lode of
that place says: Grading for the ad-
ditional tank room at the De Lamar
mill is being pushed and in a short
time they will be ready for the large
timbers that will be laid for the foun-
dalton. 1t doesn't look like the De
Lamar bonanza was getting smaller
when they have the confidence to build
more to the mill.
Baker City (Ore.l Democrat: Messrs
Reese G Co., owners of the Chickopee
mine, between Marble and Pine creeks,
and about two miles north Of the
Baisley- EIkhorn mine, have just had
some very satisfactory assay returns
from their ore. Three assays made yes
terday by Eben P. Torrey, the home
assayer, gave the following result: No.

specimen, black metal gold, s101.50;
total value, 81, O9So1. During the past
"a hours the pay streak widened in a
ledge of five feet and all indications
point to a still further widening as
depth is attained. The owners of the
Chickopee will continue development
work and the ore mined will be sold
to the Baker City Sampling works.
