tiers at Denver. left for home last night
after a two months stay in Utah. during
which time he placed some heavy orders
for mining machinery.
Phoebe Record: The shaft on the Ro-
bust mine in Ely. White Pine county. Is
now as straight as gun barrel The old
angles and curves have all been Jagged
up and filed with waste. Prospecting the
ore body encountered on the 15o-levei will
begin at once.
Mercur Miner: Everything is shut
down at the La Cigale for the present and
nobody knows when it will start up again.
Experts have been sampling the mine
very thoroughly for the past two weeks
out if it will pay to resume work.
Phoebe Record: The crushing of ore at
the Grammar mill at Lane City, three
miles above Ely, was resumed last Mon
the tanks and everything about the mill
is in apple-pie order. No more shut
downs need be expected this winter.

Walter James. the well known mer-
chant and mining man of Blackjack,
Willard county, came up from the south
yesterday and is registered at the Cullen.
Mr.. James is developing a very promising
lead proposition in the Antelope range of
mountains and not far from the Or1zaba
group now being operated by Salt Lake
parties
Baker City Democrat: The news has
been received from Bourne that on ac-
count of pending sale of the North Pole
mine a number of miners have been laid
off for the reason that there is more than
enough ore on hand to run the cyanide
plant for an indefinite time. The North
Pole is one of Baker county'S big mines
and sale of the mine means that it will
go for an amount away up toward the
81, 100000 mark.
Mercur Mercury: The buildings for the
annex to the Mercur mill have been COM
Dleted and are now ready for the tanks
which are expected to arrive today. With
the addition of the eight new steel tanks,
thirty feet in diameter by five feet high,
which will occupy the floor space in the
main building, the capacity of the plant
will be increased 80 tons making the
total daily capacity 800 tons. The Mercur
will make a great record for itself the
coming year unless all signs fail.
Iron County Record: James McGarry,
the iron magnate whose name sadorns
most of the mining location notices of
Springs passed through Cedar the first of
the. week, on his way to the Buckskin
mountains. where he is negotiating for an
option on copper properties. Mr.. Nc
Garry has held on to his Iron county
properties with much tenacty. and the
report that he has bonded his patented
claims for $500 called forth no adverse
criticism in this section.
Iron County Record: With a railroad
running through the settlements in the
northern portion of the county and the
manufacture of iron in full blast in this
vicinity, Iron county will be the most
favored section in the state. Parowan
and Paragoonah valleys with their ex-
ceptional advantages in the way of
artesian water are destined to become
noted as an agricultural region, and a
ready market will be furnished for their
products by the miners and shop workers
engaged in handling our iron and coal.
Nevada State Herald: Bob Hartley
was in town over Sunday. arranging mat
tiers pertaining TO his mine at Spruce
mountain. Mr.. Hartley has been staying
with the camp when all Others deserted it,
and now it appears that he is to be in a
reports that they are now 100 feet in on
the level and have been working on a
continuous vein of good ore which for
the past two weeks has averaged eight
feet in width The ore runs 50 to 10 per
cent in lead and % to 60 ounces in silver
to the ton. They are now mining to ship
a thirty ton car every six days. which will
keep three big teams busy on the road.
Were ii not for the difficulty in getting
the ore down the mountain they could
easily double the output.
