For sixteen years the Alice mine has
been under the control of the Walker
brothers OF Salt Lake, and since the
company has been a corporation it has
paid $l,O75 600 in dividends During the
past year a $4,000 dividend has been
declared, and notwithstanding the low
price of silver, another dividend is
highly probable in the near fu-
ture. The company, says the
Bette Mining World, owns twenty
claims in the district, but it considers
the Magma Charta, Naldemere, Blue,
Wing, Rising Star and Alice as among
the most valuable of its several proper
ties. The main shaft on the Alice IS
down to depth of 1,500 feet. and dur
ing the past year considerable
amount OF development has been done
in cross cutting and running on the
veins. A Cornish pump of enormous
cafacity for the water, is IN operation
al the mine, as well as two large COM
uressors for The operation of forty ma
chine drills An electric lighting plant
and four holsters" furnish light ana
power for the mines and stamp mill.
The mill is a siXty-Stamp plant. ana
has a capacity of 300 tons per day, al
though at present only ninety tons are
daily treated. The plant of the COM
pany is capable OF running to twice its
present capacity, should the price OF /
silver al any time warrant the increase.
over 300 men are employed in the mines
and mill, of which total number 40
are leasers. The company is also a
shipper of base ore. containing zinc,
iron, lead. silver and gold, which they
are unable TO treat at the MILL but
which has market value at the smelt-
ers. The base ore shipments amount
to about 500 tons per month. A large
amount of ore is also purchased by the
company from leasers and other mining
companies, and monthly amounts to
large tonnage. Captain /. w BuZzo
is superintendent of the properties, and
under his able management during the
past four years the company has paid
off its Indebtedness and resumed its
0iyidend-paying.
