Anchor from the Daly-West ground.
The Northwest Copper company
have moved their small smelter plant
from Cuprum. Idaho. to the Iron Dyke
mine on the west side of Snake river,
where it will be set up and operated
The Plumbago mine in Sierra coun-
ty, Gala, has a ten-stamp mill running
constantly, operated by water power,
and there is said to be sufficient ore in
sight to keep the mill in operation
fifty years.
The United Copper company, Summit
county, has filed with the United
States land office an application for
mineral patent on Antietam lode and
mill site, Carbonate mining district,
Uintah county.
Reports from the Wandering Jew in
Davis county indicate a steady WIDEN
ing out of the vein, with increased val
ues as work progresses. Copper bear
ing ores are said to have made their
appearance with lead.
The Coleman group of copper claims
at Contact, Nevada, fifty miles north
of Elso, which is owned by Utah par
ties, has been bonded to Butte copper
kings, who are doing considerable de-
velopment work in the camp.
The report that the Huntsman, in
the LaSals, has encountered a big lead
is verified. The ore goes 1000 ounces
in silver and Is per cent copper, with
a fractional amount of gold. A car
load of ore is now sacked and it's deliv-
cry at the depot will begin in few
days.
Captain De Lamar is making an at
tempt to master the mill dust in his
cyanide plants, and has made con-
tract with an inventor looking to that
end. The experiment will be tried in
the De Lamar mill at DeLamar, New,
and if successful, will be installed at
Murcur.
At the Pinto King and Pinto Nam
moth in the La Sale mountains, which
was recently bonded to Peter McCourt.
Ernest G. Miller and A. l.. Searles, the
ground located about twenty-five miles

copper, 60 ounces silver and 81 to SO in
gold.

The mine has been a big producer
and just before the panic of 1898, the
owner refused $5OO,OOO for it. Since
that time no work has been done
owing to the low price of silver.
The mill on the Star Grant, White
Pines county, Nevada, was started ul
last3 week and is running smoothly

Golconda. The company has provided
for steam wagon with which K
transport the ores. and will have it ir
active operation in few days.
Considerable interest is being mani
Tested in Park City's copper belt, which
is now almost certainly demonstrated
to extend all the way from the valeo tt
the Copper King, a distance of at leas
six miles, and scarcely day passes
but what Investigators make trip te
some of the claims on the lode, mos
Of which are owned by poor men who
realize the need OF capital for develop
ment work.
The mining industry on Miners
Mountain, Wayne county, is in a mos

and interesting developments arr

of copper which is regarded as we'll
worth working.
