Charles Read, the well-known min
ing operator and expert, who has just
returned from making an exhaustive
and thorough examination of the No
U-Don't mine, near Stockton, in his re-
port made yesterday to the company,
spoke in the highest terms of this pro-
Queer of mineral wealth, and describes
at length its present condition and flu
ture possibilities.
There are four claims embraced in
the No-U-Don't group. one of which the
claim from which the tract takes its
name, is patented. while the usual for
malities for the securing of patents on
the others have been complied with,
the property being within four miles of
the railroad terminus. while the water
supply is adequate for all purposes,
and timber abounds in the near vi
pinity.
AS to the formation, Mr. Read states
that it is limestone, and that the veins
are well defined, regular and persistent
the No-U-Don't ledge being an extern
sion of the vein which has made the
Galena King so famous as a producer
of the precious metals. on one side. ana
isof the West Argent, another paying
mine, on the other. The development Of
the property comprising SOC feet of tun-
mel work on the vein. and an incline
shaft on the ledge on its dip. hich has
been sunk to a depth of over 500 feet,
with drifts at every 40 feet, the sys-
tenn of workings being connected by up
raises, wines and Slopes so that ven-
tilation is perfect throughout.
The mine, MIR. Read states in his re-
port, has already marketed over 1000
tons Of ore. which has netted something
like $4,000, and he further states that
mineral of good grade and quantity has
been found on each level. more or less
stopping having been done from the sur
face down to a point between the third
and fourth levels. the vein getting
stronger with depth, one feature of the
product of this promising property be-
ing that ii is silVer-lead ore with an
iron gangue, which makes il a very
desirable commodity at the shelters.
The mine is equipped with a thirty
horse power hosting plant and boiler,
and is in shape so that extensive op-
erationS can be carried on in the fu-
ture, Mr.. Read rounding out his re-
port with the statement that lit is. in
the heart of the great mineral zone of
this section and that ut is an attract
i've and legitimate mining proposition"

the basis for another strong mining
corporation, as will be seen elsewhere
IN these columns. the personnel of the
association including the names of
some of Salt Lake City's best known
mining and business men, the official
roster of the company being as fol-
lows:
w. w. Chisholm. president: A. Han
auer, vice president: T. r. Jones. Sec
rotary; C. B. MARYLAND, treasurer, while
J. d. Kendall and w. NJ. Bradley are
included in the directory.
Stockton, which is regarded as being
one OF the richest of the old-time
camps Of Utah, is now beginning TO re-
ceive the attention at the hands of
mining men and investors which il has
for so long a. time deserved and during
the past two or three months no less
than four or five mining COMPANIES
have been formed for the operation of
some Of its best properties. while a re-
vival is noticeable throughout the
camp, which is only q few hours ride
from Salt Lake and which is easily
accessible, with the advantage OF en-
joying all necessary transportation IA
cilities.
