THE SOUTHERN MINES.
Lincoln County, New, the Scene of
Great Activity.
Especial Corresponience \

especial Correspondence
Phoebe, New, Sept. 12.-Appreciating
the efforts of The Herald in behalf of
the mining sections of southern Ne
vada, a few notes in connection with
what is actually being done in Lincoln
county viii be received favorably by
your readers.
AT present all attention is being
turned to the mining district Of State
line and Deer Lodge, where the recent
development in the Johnny mine is re-
storing the confidence that was rifed
by incompetent mining experts. a
hoist is being erected on the property
ana another shipment of high-grade ore
is ready for the Salt Lake market.
There are six men working at the
Ophir and four at the Burro, while a
force of ten men is employed on the
McCune group, which includes the
& Campbell, and where a two-foot
streak of forty dollar gold ore has been
encountered in the north drift. of the
200-foot level.
Under the management of the Freud
enthal brothers, twenty men are work
ing in the mines at Bristol district,
which are held under bond and pur-
chase by A. Bybee, and which promises
to develop into a bonanza, as the guam
tity of ore is increasing in quality, and
an average of one carload running high
in copper is being shipped to Salt Lake
each week.
The mines in Cocomungo district
which are situated in the Patterson
mountains, are beginning to ship ore
This is a new district and the property
is held by Mcdonald & Rynearson of
Ely who did considerable work the
past spring and are now being literally
rewarded, as their ore is very rich in
silver and carries some gold.
The usual amount of work is going
on in De Lamar and some new discover
les are being reported from the jaeger
maui canyon in the vicinity of Helene.
The large lead mines at Groom dis
trict owned by Wheatley, Sheahan, Os-
borne & Ponsain, are being negotiated
for by eastern capital. This will cause
the resurrection of an old abandoned
district, the erection of a smelter and
new life for the old town of Groom,
which has not been inhabited for TWEEN
ty-five years.
The old Democrat property in Chief
district has been stocked. That put
into the treasury will be sold, the pro-
ceeds of which will be used to develop
the property. Although running well in
silver and gold, the percentage of cop
per makes it valuable for smelling pur-
poses. Some men have already been
put to work in the Advance claim, one
of the group.

RICH WEDGE ORE.
Mrs. Lyon Receives Samples Taken
From q Wine

From a Wine
Mrs. NJ. ]. Lyon, the owner of Isl, 900
shares of the Wedge mine. near Marys-
vale, received a lot of very rich samples
from that property yesterday. The rock
was literally filed with free gold, and
although the lady had received no
would run away up into the hundreds
of dollars TO the ton in values.
The ore was taken from the bottom
of a winze, which is being sunk at the
end of a forty-foot tunnel on the vein
Of ere.
The winze is entirely in ore, but just
along the hanging wall is streak OF
extremely rich ore.
Ore is being taken out for shipment,
and nothing is being sacked that goes
under $40 to the ton. All ore running
below that value is thrown out on the
dump and rated as second-class.
A carload shipment, Mrs. Lyon says,
viii be in in a few days. She believes
it win average up better than the last
lost, which went little above $500 to
the ton,
Work in the lower tunnel will be
carried forward at once, and prepara-
tons are being made to keep up work
during the winter months there. 1t is
the intention to run the lower tunnel
to the vein, where plenty of room will
be made for stopping.
The upper workings of the Wedge,
where the ore is being extracted, is at
an elevation of II. 600 feet, and is above
the timber line.
Mrs. Lyon thinks after the next ship
ment comes in the first dividend will
be declared

Owners of Utah Mines Operating Il
Nevada.
(Nevada State Journal.l


]. C. Coombs Of Boston and George
A. Lansbery of Denver arrived in Reno
yesterday morning, and left by the To-
cal Cor Wabuska.
Mr. Coombs is attorney, and Mr..
Lansbery is engineer fer the newly
incorporated Boston & Nevada Consoli-
dated Gold & Copper Mining company.
This corporation has a 81, 100000 capital
ization.
Its property consists of copper mines
in Mason valley and the Mount View
gold mine in southeastern Nevada.
This company is the successor OF the
old Boston & Nevada company that
opened and partially developed the
Mason valley mines a few years ago,
and then got into a financial and legal
muddle. These mines are located in
Warrington district, fourteen fliles from
Wabuska. There is plenty of good ore
in sight, and a late model smelter on
the property.
1t is the intention of the Boston cap
italists to operate the property on a
large scale. Men will be put to work

TRIED TO BOND COPPER KING.
Salt Lakers Tried to Get the Mine
For Eastern Investors.

1t was learned yesterday that certain
Salt Lakers have recently been sparring
for a bond on the Copper King property
in Big Cottonwood, and that nothing
but the price demanded by the COM
pany-said to be $150, 000-prevented the
deal being made. A gentleman inter
ested in the scheme said last evening
that he believed the Copper King had
the making of a big mine in it, but it
had not yet been sufficiently developed
to command the price demanded by the
owners. Had the price asked been
$4,000, he was satisfied the property
could have been placed, but the exam
ination test would not permit OF a rec
concentration to take hold at the price
demanded. The gentleman gave it as
his opinion that if $4,000 could be ex-
pended on systematic work, the Copper
King would very likely be brought to
such a. stage that $150,00 would not be
to much to ask for it, but that figure
WIS out of all proportion to the show
ing so far made.

Northern Light Extension on Lion Hill,
that in the face of the tunnel which
is in something over forty feet, four
teen inches of carbonate ore, assaying
seventy ounces in silver and IS in gold,
had been encountered the day before,
and that indications of improvement
were verv pronounced.
The Northern Light Extension conn
pany was organized some two months
ago, with three claims adjoining the
Northern Light on the west as a basis,
the company paying, it is said, $4,000
for the ground. The property lies just
south of the old leila, mine which
has produced more than 500, 900, and
the ineorporators of the Northern Light
Extension believed that with the sur
face showing on their own ground and
the records of their near neighbors,
they had a right to expect something

TEACHING COPPER ORES.
Il. G. Bowdich of Bingham Exhibits
Dalton & Lark Bullion.

H. G. Bowdich came down from
Bingham yesterday, and exhibited a
two-pound piece of copper bullion
which he obtained by teaching about
fifty pounds of per cent ore taken
from the Dalton & Lark.
Mr.. Bowdich has a secret process of
teaching of his own discovery, which is
said to be a big success in the extrac-
ton of values from copper ores, eSpec-
tally those Of an oxide character.
Mr. Bowdich claims he can treat ore
at the expense Of no more than IS or 40
cents to the ton. and can handle with
profit copper ores of a grade as low as
> 2-3 per cent.
He claims the average time for pre-
cipitation consumes about six hours.

Denver, Sept. 14.-Napoleon E. Guyot,
late private of company G. First Colo
RADIO volunteers, who during the last
three months of 1898, served as a clerk
under Major Kilbourne, and later Lieu
tenant Colonel Potter, auditor of public
accounts Manila publishes this even
ing a signed statement in which the
gravest charges of corruption are made
against the American officials in
Manila.
He says an examination of the vouch-
ers forwarded to Washington will
show that exorbitant prices are paid
for all kinds of supplies purchased in
Manila; that vast quantities of high
class wines and other supplies have
been purchased ostensibly for the Span
ish hospitals, while in the American
hospitals only the coarsest supplies are
furnished.
He says courtmartials of private SOL
diers charged with selling government
property have been stopped because
they would result in the exposure of
official rescality. The robberies, he
asserts, will aggregate an enormous
sum.

say that it is generally known in Dia-

Wilson were in conference with B. T.
woodward here last Sunday the de-
cision was practically reached to cross
cut for the vein at the 400, and, as
said before. if they do they'll come
pretty near having mine when they
encounter it, I do not think there is
any one around here who has made a
closer or longer study of the big Bow

the company could pay twice the
amount without any trouble if the di-

There is apparently no good reason
for the recent slump Of the stock, as the

large amount Of ore lately and is in
better shape financially and physically
than any time in its history.
