RECORD OF A WEEK.
An Idea of What Utah Mines Are
Producing.

The past week closed with good
output from the mines throughout the
state. Over 200 cars of ore arrived at
the local sampling works and were set
tied for there. 1t is difficult to saw
definitely how many more were sent
direct to the smelters. Tintic alone
contributed 14I cars of ore; eleven cars
of concentrates and five cars of bullion.
From the Tintic Miners report it IS
found the following mines made up the
list:
BulIion-Beck, IS: Centennial Eureka,
II; Gemini, ); Godiva, S; Uncle Sam and
Humbug, Z; Northern Spy. /; Sioux
Con, l; Star Consolidated, 1; Carissa,
2; Mammoth, %; Lower Mammoth, l.;

sea, IL; South Swansea, 4; Dragon iron
mine, 81. Total, 147.
Concentrates.-Bulli mill. s.;
Mammoth mill, 8. Total, II.
Bullion Bars.-Mammoth. ).
This makes a total of 1853 cars from
a single camp, to say nothing of Bing-
ham at Park City, which are perfectly
capable of keeping about even in the
race.
There are other districts in the state
from which no reports have come, but,
taking Tintic as a criterion, it can be
seen the amount of ore extracted dur
ing a single week.

THAT MYSTERIOUS SURVEY.
United States Company Runs One Up
Bingham Canyon.

The report came in from Bingham
not long ago that a party of surveyors
had been running a line up Bingham
canyon, presumably for a railroad or
tramWay. Every one in Bingham mas
been mystified as to what it all meant
The parties doing the work would not
give out any information as to their
identity, and this led TO all sorts OF
rumOrs. Some thought it was being
done for a new line of railroad, while
others conjectured that it was the
work of Samuel Newhouse, who was
having the work done to run a tram
way up to the property of the Boston
Consolidated. This was emphatically
denied by Manager Coleman, but after
wards it was learned that the engineer
in charge of the work is in the employ
of the United States Mining company,
presided over by Mr. J. w. Neill. The
only information that could be CLEANED
from that gentleman was simply that
he had run a survey to establish grades,
so as to determine if it is practicable to
operate railroad locomotives and cars
ali tine way up the canyon to the COM
pany's properties.

DIXIE COPPER GROUP.
History of Discovery and Develop
ment of This Property.
St. George, Utah, July 2

St. George, Utah, July 2.
To the Editor, Salt Lake Herald:
Dear Sir-Having read in the issue of
June 90 of your valuable paper the
article entitled Dixie Copper Sale" L
consider it my duty to request you to
make a few corrections, as it contains
some errors concerning the history OF
the Dixie Mining & Smelling company.
All that has been said concerning the
value of the mines is, in the opinion of
the writer, perfectly true. There is no
doubt that the present and prospective
value is wonderful, and that develop
ment will surely make the property one
of the greatest copper producers in the
state of Utah. In giving the history of
these famous mines, an injustice has
been done, though not Intentionally, in
that the name of the Hon. John Pymm
is not connected with it. Mr.. Pymm Is
one of the pioneers of st. George. He
has filed the position of assistant
postmaster and postmaster for thirty
seven years, and is the present incum-
bent of the office. This makes him the
oldest postmaster in the state. Mr..
Pymm is 81 years of age, and is still
in possession of good health and mem
tai vigor. His life has been replete
with good acts. Always practicing
charity, and every ready to advocate
measures that tend to the benefit of
his fellow man, he has earned the love
and esteem of all who have known him,
and truly can it be said the world is
better for his having lived. AS he has
in verify been the chief factor in the
locating and development of the Dixie
Copper property, it is nothing but jus
tice that he should have the credit.
Here are the facts:
In 1883 Nephi Fawcett, William Webb
and Brigham Jarvis were hauling wood
from the mountain near where the
mines are located. They found at the
foot of a tree a piece of copper ore and
took it to Mr.. Pymm at st. George, who
was at the time engaged in the mercan-
tile business, and was also postmaster.
Mr.. Pymm Immediately discovered that
it was copper ore OF value. He had it
assayed, and the result was 3S per cent
copper. He took an interest with the
three men named, and they located the
Apex and Morning Star claims, which
are today the most valuable of the
Dixie group. Fawcett, Webb and Jarvis
not being willing to expend any money
in development, Mr.. Pymm secured
from them the right to take out a car
of ore at his own expense. He did SO.
and shipped twelve tons to Sandy, Salt
Lake county. The ore ran 81 2-1O per

Yesterdays Sales.

The stock exchange evidenced con-
siderable more activity yesterday than
on Friday. The Salt Lake exchange
made particular improvement. Petro
was the real favorite. The stock elicit
ed strong bidding, and was wanted
badly. but only 2,100 shares could be
secured from the holders. The promise
of a dividend. which is certain to come
in July, caused the stock to shoot I'D
wards. 1t was strong on the curb at
above 80 cents a. share.
Daisy climbed up again. while Lower
Mammoth fell back a few cents. These
were the principal stocks that took part
in the transactions. However, there
were a number of others that were
added to the list of transfers. Sacra-
mento was the leader on the Utah ex-
change.

cent copper The other owners not be-
ing willing to permit Mr.. Pymm to
continue the extraction OF ore, the
mines laid idle for some time. T.nall.'
he, with Erastus Snow, Anthony w.
WINS and F. L. Gushing, secured a nve
months lease and began operations.
They rented a small furnace that had
been erected by Samuel L. Adams. ST.,
near ST. George, for the treatment OF
ore from the Grand Gulch copper mine,
and for time operated successfully.
The depreciation in the price of copper.
coupled with the heavy expense IN
transporting bullion to Sandy, COM
PEELED the closing down of the mines
and furnace. The mines then remained
inactive until about 1880, when a lease
was given to Samuel l.. Adams, jr., and
S. G. Higgins. They associated with
themselves A. r. Whitehead and Seth
A. Pymm, and erected a small furnace
short distance below the mine, and
produced considerable copper bullion,
giving up their lease. Messrs. Woolley.
Lund & Judd in the same year secured
lease upon the property. The latter
erected a furnace at st. George and
operated for some four years, produc-
ing IN ore and bullion over S127 900. No
work was done after 1894 except assess
ment work. until the lease was given
to Samuel L. Adams, jr., referred TO in
YOUR article.
The Dixie Mining & Smelling COM
pany, owning twelve claims, was or
ganized in the fall of 1890, John Pymm
being the president and Seth A. Pymm,
his son. for many years the clerk and
recorder of Washington county, secre-
tary and treasurer. Both of these gen.
tlemen are heavy stockholders in the
company.
In conclusion, I desire to say that it
is a source of great pleasure to all OF
the people of southern Utah that the
prospect is so bright that the founder
and promoter of the Dixie Mining x
Smelling company, John Pymm, will
soon reap a just reward for his labors.

II. d. Rippeto returned yesterday
from a trip into Emery county, where
he has been TO make an examination
of the new coal discoveries in that 10
cality. He was accompanied on his
trip by Jim Gibson. The coal fields are
located forty miles to the southwest
of Castle Dale, into which county the
Rio Grande Western is likely to ex-
tend its lines this year.
Mr. Rippeto says there has been lit
tie development done as yet, but on one
OF the properties he visited a forty
foot vein of bituminous coal has been
disclosed that is of a very fine quality.
The coal found there is said to con-
tain the necessary qualities to make
it a fine coking proposition. When the
railroad is completed very prosper

VALUABLE GROUND UNWoRKED
Patented Claims In Tintic That Lie
In Rich Territory.
Especial Correspondence

Eureka, July 6.-To people who are
reasonably familiar with the ground
and the lay of the land and who real
ize the unprecedented demand for likely
property even though practically unde-
veloped it seems to the writer strik-
ingly singular that such claims as the
Marion, James G.. Blaine, Mahogany.
Plutus, Medea and Jason should at this
time be permitted to remain idle. The
Mahogany as shown on all maps ap-
pears to be, but is not, a part of the
La Refine group, lies north of the La
Refine and just south and almost join
ing the Humbug. The Marion and the
James G. Blaine, parallel claims, are
southwest of the Godiva and Uncle Sam
and the Plutus directly south of these
two properties, runs over on Mammoth
hill and laps on some of the Mammoth
ground. The Jason and Medea lie just
east of the Sullivan and Mount Hope
claims, belonging to the Grand Central
company. Surely there is no better un-
worked ground in Eureka. This prop
erty. comprising eighty-five acres. was
located along in 1SSS-S9 by one of the
old timers, 3. Christensen, who sub
sequently performed somewhere near
200 feet of tunnel work on the Marion,
about $50 feet of tunneling on the Plu-
tus and perhaps 100 or more feet of
tunneling and between forty ana hfty
feet of a shaft on the Medea, obtain
ing for all six claims a perfect govern
ment title and patent. Some time ago
the claims were bonded to the Utah
Consolidated Mining company, whose
properties are in close proximity to
some of the claims, but as the work
stipulated in the contract was not exc
cuted the bond was forfeited and from
that day until the present time all of
the claims have lain idle.
1t is understood that Uncle Jesse
Knight, like the man who didn't want
the earth. only that part which lined
his'n," had recently made an offer for
the various claims. but was unsuccess-
full. owing to the fact that his offer was
a trifie below the figure which the
owner has placed N them. 1t would
be feasible for some one to make some
sort of deal whereby they could be
operated. The writer thinks Though
does not know that the title or power
to control, still lies in Mr.. Christensen.

depth, 200 feet, to the 400.
This property is highly regarded by
every mining man in this locality and

Little doubt exists in the minds of
miners who have carefully prospected
this section of country that the Park

known as the Lancaster, a one-time ex-
tensive producer of rich ores.
