this year. 1t is estimated that about
400 went out to,look over the camp from
Salt Lake, and a great many boarded
the train in Utah county. The crowd
scattered about the camp promiscuous-

camp never was in more lively condi-

NEVADA MINING.
Success of Copper Mining Industry
Around Golconda.

The Golconda News speaks of condi-
tions in that locality and says:
At present Golconda is the most ac-
tive mining center in Nevada The
greatest success in recent years has
been achieved in GolcOnda, especially in
copper mining and erection of smelters
which have successfully treated ores
has called TO the attention of the min
ing world that the vicinity of Golconda

cesses.
Properly considered, the Golconda
copper belt is about thirty-five miles
long. The chief development is at the
Adelaide mine, on the south end of the
belt In this group are many partially
developed properties whic hspeak great
promise. Along this belt. extending
north, is the claim which Henderson &
Kavanaugh recently refused $25, 900 for,
while d. l.. West Ernest Duvivier,
Graham Lamb, J. Sibbald and others
HAYS claims located. Copper indications
are found at every point. Extended de-
velopments vii result in rich strikes.

be found for miles before it again be-

In this range Felix, Button, Dunn

until they were bonded by Morton Lind

time forty men at work doing valuable
development, and his progress. though
slow. is a sufficient indication of the
richness of that section.
Since he began his work the prospect

veins of copper near Juliens. The Rich

THE MELCHER MINE.
Work On 100 Foot Tunnel to Com
mence This Week.

Frank Langford, who has recently
visited the Melcher mine in Common
creek district, Idaho, reports that work
will start this week on the proposed
]. I00-foot tunnel. The steam drills or
dered over a month ago have not ar
rived. but are expected on the ground
any day.
Seven men are on the payrolis at the
present time, and they are engaged in
clearing the ground and laying the
foundations for the new buildings in
which the new machinery Will be
placed.
Mr. Langford says the Melcher COM

Some Rich Ore Discovered In the

Park Record.l
Dick Smith has completed his con-
tract on the Superior mine. He has
drifted some 400 feet easterly from the
lower cross-cut tunnel. following d vein
of lead-SilVer ore. which has an average
value of 80 ounces silver and 40 per cent
lead. The strike of the vein appears to
be south, 20 degrees west, and its incli-
nation 40 degrees under the northern
horizon. The company meditates oper-
atoms on the gold-copper vein, which
outcropS for a distance on the surface
and parallels the lead vein. Consider
able work has been done on that vein
in the shape of crosS-cutS and shafts
At one point an open cut, some thirty
feet in length, with a shaft thirty feet
deep from the surface, shows an S-foot
vein of fair copper ore, carrying from
> to % per cent copper. S ounces silver,
81 gold and 40 per cent oXidized iron

cenuating proposition
The Comstock.
Morris Dusseldorf went TO Salt Lake
Monday afternoon. taking with him
samples of the rich strike recently
made at the Comstock. The ore as
Sayed 80 per cent lead, so ounces silver,
S4.60 gold and per cent copper. Picked
samples went much higher. This is a
everyone that developments will open
up what is an eight-inch streak into
40-foot vein, for Mr.. Dusseldorf de-
serves success for the persistent man
ner in which he has endeavored to
bring this property to the front. 1t Will
be two or three weeks before the roads
are paSsable but when they are supplies
will be hauled up and an increased
force put to work. We sincerely hope
this summer will see hosting works
erected on the Comstock ground.
New York Group.
Mr.. Wilson, a New York gentleman
and an intimate friend of the late ]. H.
Rogers, was in the Park Tuesday for
the purpose of looking over the New
York group OF claims, which is located
east of the Ontario. Upon his report,
we understand, depends whether this
group will be worked or not. 1t is
simply a shame that such valuable
ground is allowed to lie idle year in
and year out, simply because some of
the owners, who are amply able, will
not put up money themselves nor allow
their interest to go to those who will.
Indifference is Park City's greatest
curse, and the sooner some of our
cIaimowners get over this dog in the
manager" propensity the better for the
camp and its future.
