Rich Ore From the Wedge.

The Ontario mill at Park City, which
closed down about two and a half years
ago, as a result of abandonment of
operations at the Ontario mine, is to be
put IN shape for resumption-in fact,
the work has already commenced.
Superintendent Chambers came down
from a several days stay in the Park
last evening and. in answer to the
question as to what was going on at
the mill, said:
You can say that we are tearing
down No. 2 furnace. on the west side
of the mill and that it will be rebuilt
again at once. 1t was constructed over
fifteen years ago and the brick had
become thoroughly impregnated with
salt. During the long shut down the
sailed bricks have drawn so much
moisture that the walls have become
rotten and worthless. We have decided
TO rebuild the furnace at this time so
that in case we want to start the mill
up the first of the year, we Will not
have to do this work in bad weather"
From this statement of Superinten-
dent Chambers the deduction is drawn
that not later than Jan. l the big plant
Will again be pounding away as in the
good old days before the slump, when
100 tons day of the Ontario's second
class ore was being reduced TO base
bullion.
The energetic development work now
being done in the mine will undoubt-
eddy put the property in shape to sup
ply the mill with an abundance of ore
by the time it can be got in shape to
handle it and it is possible the sixty
stamps contained i'll the battery will
be knocking out their old familiar song
long before the new year rolls around.

ent Thomas Kearns of the Silver King,
who also manages the Valeo, said the
lot settled for yesterday sampled IL per
cent copper, five and a half ounces sill
Yer. 81 in gold and carried 80 per cent
free iron.
Il don't propose to sell that ore on
the open market again, if l can help
it, said Mr.. kearns. land 1 think l
can. Ore of that Characterization
that percentage of iron-should bring
not less than $40 per ton, slet, and I
intend TO sell future shipments under

The property is looking well, and
when we can make satisfactory ar
rangements for hauling. more ore will
be sold. Yes, sir, said he, Il believe
the Valeo will make mine. We don't
know what we have below the tunnel
level, but we are going to find out in
the near future. 1t will not be neces-
sary to sink, as we can get 200 feet
deeper yet by tunneling, and that with
out going off our own ground"
As Mr.. Kearns has always been reti-
cent when questioned regarding the
Valeo, the above statement will be a
source of satisfaction to people vi
have been anxious to learn something
about il. The figures he quotes on the
recent shipment will also be gratifying
to the stockholders. who may now look
forward to a season of self-support on
the part of the mine.
The management, however, is not of
the kind that does things by halves.

THE TETRo STRIKE.
Broker Woolley Returns With a
Large Lot of Samples.

E G. Woolley, jr., the we'll known
stock broker returned last evening from
Tfntic. where he went to examine into
the strike reported from the Tetro
mine.
When seen last evening Mr.. Woolley
was loaded down with samples of this
ore which he had brought up from the
mine TO be sampled.
He says there has been a tremen-
dously large body of ore opened up in
the mine and confirms the report con-
tanned in yesterdays Herald. So far as
the values are concerned, however. he
was unable to give out any further
information. The values published
were correct, but just how much ore in
the mine carries such high values has
not been determined and Will not be
until the samples broughtsin by Mr..
Woolley passes through the hands of
the assayeSs.
James A Pollock, who is one of the
largest stockholders in the Tetro. said
last evening that it is the intention to
sample the mine thoroughly, to find out
just how valuable the ore really is.
The big assays he says, may have come
from a small streak and again the vein
may have the merit some have claimed
for it. He proposes to find out how
much pay ore there is in the mine and
when the returns are made from the
assayer's office he will make them
known to the public.
Mr.. Pollock disclaims any authority
for the reports circulated; he is very
conservative in such matters and has
made no statements in confirmation of
the Tetro strike. Nor has he made any
denials Of it.
There were all sorts of stories cur
rent on the streets yesterday afternoon.
a great many who discredited the good
news; while others claimed they were
in possession of advices from Tintie
sufficient to satisfy them that the strike
was big one.
The stock declined tc Is cents share
towards the close of the day.
All the unrest will be set aside when
Mr.. Pollock submits his report of the
results of the tests to be made.
MIR. Woolley came home very well
pleased with the outlook and said il
The vein disclosed did not contain
large body OF rich ore is was awfuly
close to il.

The eighteen-inct vein in the bottom
of the shaft gave returns of 5.5 ounces
silver and 1871 per cent lead.
The local officers of the company
were filled with enthusiasm over the
result of the tests yesterday afternoon.
The returns are really remarkable when
it is considered that the ground has
hardly been scratched, the greatest
depth of the shaft being only thirty
five feet and the length of the tunnel
less than twenty feet.
The assays showing values of p, 30
and As per cent lead were taken from
carbonates such as have been thrown
over the dump and thought to be OF
little value.
y gentleman interested in the mine
states that there are probably three
carloads of this class of ore on the
dump that can be assorted for ship
ment.
The Eutonia appears to be surely a
pay proposition from the grass roots,
and the sampling made is said to be
a conservative average of the ore
bodies exposed.

A Boston View of It.

The Boston Journal of the 9th inst.
takes notice of the sale OF the $4,000
shares of Centennial Eureka stock at
$40 share, and after giving the de-
tails. goes on to say:
1.-THE United States Mining company
does not, as a company, purchase the
property. but it will be owned by those
associated with it, and for a time, at
least, operated as a separate corpora
ton. Ultimately, however, it is likely
to be made a part of the combine, and
placed under one management. 1t is
located about twenty-five miles from
the Old Jordan and Telegraph proper
ties, and on the opposite side of the
range, and it contains valuable fluxing
ores. The smelter. which will be erect
ed upon the site of the Old Jordan and
Telegraph plant, will treat the ore from
the United States mining properties, in
Guiding this latest acquisition. The
Centennial Eureka purchase carries
with 1t almost thirty claims, including
several millsites."

Mammoth Mills Trial Run On It's
Resumption Soon.
Especial Correspondence. }

(Specldl correspondence
Robinson, Aug. 12.-The air is again
filled with rumors and speculations re-
garding the future of the Mammoth
mill. In the meantime all operations
are suspended excepting the cleaning
up process, which is being conducted
by Superintendent O'Rourke, prior to
his severing his connection with the
mill. From present appearances, the
stamps may be hung up for some days,
possibly two weeks or more. The writer
learned from Samuel Mcintyre, jr., this
afternoon that the management had
determined to make test run on about
200 or 1900 tons of a certain grade of
ore, about which there is some ques-
ton regarding a margin of profit, and
that during the time the bins were be-
ing filed with this particular ore- the
stamps would be suspended in air. Mr..
Mcintyre could n6 say positively how
long time this would take, as some
days they would be able to send down
120 tons day, and some days but sixty.
but in any event he felt confident that
with start of 1900 or 1900 tons on
hand. that when the mill again resumes
1t should not stop again all winter for
lack of ore. Speaking of the possible
div lend. he said: When l spoke to
you a day or SO ago regarding the divi-
dend. you will remember. | said it
seemed certain. Now l am authorized
to tell YOU it will positively be posted
and paid"

JOE BOWERS EXTENSION.
Work of Sinking the Shaft Has Been
Resumed.

Joe Free has undertaken the contract
to sink the shaft at the Joe Bowers EX-
tension mine to a depth of 800 feet.
The contract was awarded him some
time ago and for over a week he has
been preparing the start-up which was
announced yesterday. He expects to
push the work along as rapidly as pos
sible and will operate with three shifts
of men. The present depth of the shaft
is 265 feet.
The pump recently installed has
cleared the workings of the water
which caused so much trouble not long
ago and is working as smoothly as can
be. Mr.. Free states the pump is rails
ing between 500 and 500 gallons an hour.
The pump has much larger CAPACITY
and when it was purchased the fact
that the flow of water might increase
with depth was not overlooked. If nee
essary, 100 gallons a minute could be
handled.

The Northern Light contributed a
200-pound lot, the Daisy came forward
with a little over 100 pounds, followed
up by the Nevada Production company
with compound batch. Later in the
week the April Fool of De Lamar. New,
came in and the same day the Dexter

mel said he intended to push develop
ments on both the 800 and 600 levels
just as fast as possible. The strike, he
said. had not changed his purpose of
putting down another shaft. That
would be done just as soon as he could
get the work started as he was now
convinced that he had something TO
work for.

GREAT SILVER KING.
A New Shaft May Soon Go Down and
Its Gold Vein Worked.

Discussing the great Silver King and
its future yesterday, Superintendent
Kearns limbered up and answered more
questions than you could shake a
stick at"
His attention was first called to the
statement that ib was surmised that the
King was the real purchaser of the
Alliance. That, he said, was all nom
sense. What use has the King got
for the Alliance?'
1t was suggested they would probably
like to get hold of it for th&1water.
Not a bit of it, said Mr.. Kearns.
we have got all the water we need
ut the present rate of production, and
as long aS development work is prose-
cuted as at present we could not use
more water if we had it.
AT the present time the mine is pro-
ducing about 100 tons of first-class ore
n day and the amount of second-class
which comes with it is easily handled
by the mill running one shift.
In the recent purchase of the Union
group We have secured ground which
Will have to be opened up for 1000 feet,
and while we might stop all dead work
api greatly increase the output OF ore.
l believe that the only way to work a
property is to keep development work
well in advance of production.
VIII the King increase its dividends
next month";" was asked.
No, I think not" Nj Kcarns said.
and when asked about the gold ledge
which the mine contains. and what
they intend 10 do with it. he said he
did not feel like anticipating what the
board of directors might do; it was not
unlikely that some time before long
another shaft would be sunk for the
purpose of handling that as a separate
proposition. As the gold ore was a
straight cyaniding proposition, a plant
would necessarily have to be erected
for its separate treatment.
The Kings great gold ledge was first
cut at a depth of LOO feet and has
since been opened up and prospected
up TO the 500 and was recently opened
up again on the 1900 level. This is a
true fssure vein and crosses the regu-
lar ore channels of the King almost at
right rangles. 1t carries values rang
ing between SO and SIS a ton and
would be considered a big mine in
itself.
During the conversation Mr.. Kearns
also stated that the Weber & Kearns
mill. which has worked so long and
probably on the Silver Kings second
class dump, would have to cease opera
lions in a few weeks for lack of ore.
The dump was nearly worked up and
the big mill was handling all the sec
ond-class the mine produced.

SAMPLERS DISCARD STEAM.
Taylor & Brunton and Conkling
Plants Will Use Electricity.

The General Electric company, of
which S. y. Benson is the local man
ager. has just closed contracts with
the Taylor & BruntOn and Conkling
Sampling Works under which up-to-
date three-phase induction motors are
to replace the steam plants now be-
ing operated at the mills named.
Mr.. Benson stated yesterday that the
Taylor & Brunton machine would be
of thirty-horse-power capacity and
that the Conkling had ordered a TWEEN
ty-horse-power motor. The Union Light
& Power company will supply the cur
rent to run the motors, which Mr.. Ben
son says will reach here in time to
commence operating on the first of the
month.
According to the list in Mr.. Benson's
office. between thirty-lve and forty diff
ferent concerns in Utah are now using
electric power in place of steam and
many other contracts are now being
figured on.

Will Develop Alaska.
(Speclal CORRESPONDENCE. }

Silver City, Aug. 12-The Alaska
group will be opened at once, and work
will be resumed under the management
of E. p. Jennings. the present superin-
tendent of the Dragon Iron mine. In
the judgment of the writer, the Alaska
folks could not have made better Sc
lection if they searched the entire
state. Besides having served term of
years in the Lake Superior copper. land
iron district. he has been manager of
big mining propositions in Arizona and
Colorado. and is a chemist and metal
lurgist of no mean order. Mr.. Jennings
expresses his determination of develop
ing the Alaska ground by the means OF
exploration drifts. believing that the
present depth of the shaft is sufficient
to justify. the belief that ore bodies
should be encountered. Speaking of
the Dragon Iron mine, Mr.. Jennings
said that the Shaft is now $50 feet. Snd
that from present appearances they
would continue to the 500 before drift
ing.

o. p. Posey of Denver, owner of the
famous Tom Boy mine, and g. S.
Holmes, owner of the Knutsford hotel
of Salt Lake City, are in the city visit
ing Sidney Smith. The purpose of their
visit is to examine into the merits of

ty. William Bruce, formerly of South
Africa, is now looking at the property,
and if his report is favorable these gen.
tlemen will purchase it, and a new min
ing combination will enter the state
with capital to back il. The Shasta
county property is a large deposit of
low grade ore upon which $4,000 has
been spent in development.
