BEN BUTLER DEVELOPMENTS.
Tunnel Will Soon Be Completed to a
Distance of 500 Feet.

A l.. Jacobs, secretary of the Ben
Butler mine at Bingham. has returned
from making an inspection of that
property and reports that the tunnel
has been completed to a distance of 40
feet. The contractors doing the work
are to extend on for a distance of thirty
feet further. when, Mr.. Jacobs states,
il is the intention of the company TO
continue the development work by en-
ploying men by the day.
Excellent progress has been made of
late and the contractors have been
showing the tunnel along at a rapid
rate, the vein matter is very soft. in
which a small streak. of good concen-
rating ore carrying values of per
cent lead, twelve and one-half ounces
silver and ITO per cent copper has
been encountered Another streak Of
lead tale has also put in an appear
ance, which has been assayed, giving
returns of 10 per cent lead, nine ounces
silver and l per cent copper. A drift
is to be run on the vein matter
William Mcqueen, who exported the
property last Sunday. expressed the
opinion to the management that pay
ore would be struck within the next
ten feet.
Fairly good values have been OBJ
tanned in the south drift, giving the
officers of the company every assurance
that the prospective stage of the mine
has been passed
The financial condition of the COM
poration is good. there being over 81. 500
now in the treasury to be devoted TO
development purposes.

JOE BOWERS EXTENSION.
Manager Woodward Says the Mine
Never Looked Better.
Especial CORRESPONDENTS.


Diamond, Oct 3i-AffairS at the Joe
Bowers Extension seem to be running
along smoothly. The writer had quite
q pertinent talk with President Wood
ward this afternoon concerning the
present status of the mine and the pre-
sumDtive future. He said that with the
exception of a compressor and Bur-
leigh power drills, the Bowers EXtel-
sion was now amply equipped with
every necessary mechanical device and
appliance necessary to do deep mining
without additional cost to the share
holders. Speaking of the physical con-
dition Of the property, Manager Wood
ward said: The outlook has never
been so favorable-in fact, fiatterinS-
as it Is now. Some of the moss ex-
perienced mining men in TinEic have
examined the property lately and they
have been unanimous in their opinions
as to the outcome. On our 266 level,
the only one run to the vein, we are
drifting both ways. north and south,
and have some ore in both drifts, the
south one perhaps looking a little the
best, though none of it is in solid or
compact seams, but all scattered
through the vein with more or less ten
dency to concentrate ON both walls. The
floors of the drifts are wholly in talcy
stuff. full of the finest particles of iron
pyrites and minute specks of galena,
with occasionally small nuggets of very
nice ore. 1t is apparent that we are
just on top of an ore body-at least,
that is the general expression of every
one who examines the situation" When
asked if the coming election of officers
would likely bring some changes, Mr..
Woodward said it was quite probable;
that so far as he was concerned,
though. he had been with the property
since it was an eight-foot hole in the
ground. and would like to remain in
charge now that the greatest difficult
ties and hardships had been overcome,
providing the shareholders had conf
dence in his ability and judgment; but
if they thought he was not the right
man for the place he wouldn't want to
stay an hour. But" continued Mr..
Woodward. "Ss a fairly large stock
holder, / am concerned in the re-elec-
ton OF Nj. Druehl. / regard him as
a careful painstaking, conscientious
business man, in every way qualified
to handle the company's financial af-
fairs. There has been some talk about
extravaganza, and some desires ex-
pressed regarding the receipts and Elk
penditures. Those things will all be
placed before the public after our an
nual meeting

REPORT FROM MARYsvALE.
Recent Storm Had Interfered With
Development Work.
Especial Correspondence.)

Marysvale, Utah, Nov. 1.-The recent
storm has interfered greatly with the
development work in this district. 1t
has been so severe as to almost shut
off all communication between tho
higher and lower attitudes.
Work on the Elephant group has been
showing up favorable results. This
group of claims join the Wedge on the
west. There is a vein ten and one-half
feet wide passing through this prop
erty that carries much of the same
character of ore as that in the Wedge,
showing it to be continuous through
the adjoining properties. In this vein
is a three-foot streak that carries the
same character of ore as was found
in the King Boulder, which raised con-
siderable excitement several years ago.
Assays frcm this streak runs $3.50 gold,
which is very flattering, as the sample
was taken from the surface. There is
also d fourteen-inch streak in the vein
in eli appearances like the rich streak
in the wedge. but the difficulty in get
ting a sample down has thus far pre-
vented getting an assay. BY develop
ment this property promises to become
great producer and one of the richest
mines in the state. Work will prob
ably be continued on this group until
late in the fall. or as long as the
weather will permit
The owners of the Wedge are push
ing the tunnel in as rapidly as possible
expecting TO drain the water out so
they can sink. One of the contractors
on this shaft cold your correspondent
that it cost them $40 day to take our
the water. As they could not stand
this expense they were compelled to
throw up the contract.
Work is going ahead vigorously on
the old Copperbelt as fast as possible.
The old shafe has been cleaned out and
timbered down to 200 feet. As the
shaft was 1928 feet deep they have TO go
a distance of 12S feet yet before they
strike the bottom. This mine produced
a lot of high grade gold ore, and the
vein was found to be continuous. but ii
was closed down about fifteen years
ago by litigation. Since that time the
timbers rotted and the mine caved in.

Still Maintains He Can Use Jordan
River Water.

Allan G. Lamson of the Salt Lake
City Water & Electrical Power plant,
returned yesterday morning from an
extended trip TO the east, where he has
been to look after some important bust
ness matters.
Concerning the controversy over the
hight to use the Jordan river water, Mr..
Lamson still maintains. as he has from
the start, that he can use the water
provided he returns it to the stream.
Il am advised by my counsel" said
he. our company has a valid aTpro-
priation and right to use all waters
which the city of Salt Lake at this time
has the legal right to flow through the
Jordan & Salt Lake City canal. The
company undoubtedly has right to
use this water, provided it returns it
into the canal undiminished in volume
and not deteriorating in quality. about
which there can be no question.

its power plant judicially decided as
soon as possible. II the city and the
canal companies wish it, the Power

OVERLAND SHUT DOWN.
Cyanide Mill to Be Increased to 500
Tons Daily Capacity.

A scare article was published in a
contemporary about the closing down
of the Overland mill at Sunshine.
Manager Gill S. Peyton yesterday de-
clared that the statement made that the
mine had been operated at a loss is
without truth. The fact is for several
months past the mine has more than
paid its way and while the development
work has been going on a series of eX-
detrimental tests have been made with
the ore in the excellently- equipped cy-
aniding mill.
ore is exceptionally applicable to treat
ment by that method ana in cost of
extraction has been reduced to a mini
mum. While this is true; the manage
ment of the mine has concluded that
the cost can be further reduced by the
enlargement of the mill and it was for
this purpose that the plant has been
closed down.
Mr.. Peyton says it has been decided
to increase the capacity of the mill
from $50 to 500 tons and the construc-
ton work will commence at the earliest
possible date. The ma chinery and
other material will be ordered at once
snd just as soon as l. arrives on the
ground, the addition will be hurried to
completion
In the meantime explorations viii be
continued in the mine and the ore
bodies blocked out in readiness for the
start up on the enlarged scale. The
double compartment shaft will be sunk
an additional sixty feet to tap the ore
chuteS at a lower level.

Sensational Story From the Galena
at Fish Springs.
RICHEST ORE ON DUMP
sTkETLING DISCOVERY MADE
By IsADoRE MORRIS.
Tale Been Thrown On Waste Heap
For Years That Carries Nearly 600
Ounces In Silver-overland Mills
Capacity to Be WORCESTERSHIRE
In tie Alaska.


The latest sensation comes from the
GaIena mine. at Fish Springs. and if a
discovery made by Isadore Morris, one
OF the directors of the company, on his
recent visit to that property, pans out,
as indications go to show that IL may
do, the mine VIII certainly not be long
in again being classed among the divi-
dend payers. Last week, while wander
ing about the big dump at the mine,
Mr. Morris gathered up a handful OF
tale and after cl-umbiing the material
up detected what he believed to be par
ticles of bromide of silver, and calling
the attention of Superintendent Peter
Reid to the stuff opinions were eX-
changed, with the result that Mr.. Nor
1is had a small sack full of it gathered
up for the purpose of having it sam
pied The first of the week he came
into town and showed the stuff TO some
of his friends. Most of them gave him
the horse laugh" but he turned it over
team assayer, just the same, and Tues
day got returns. Mr.. Morris said he
expected 10 get a good assay from 1t,
but he was entirely unprepared for the
figures which the certificate showed,
for instead of from 100 TO 200 ounces be-
ing written on the returns, so ounces
WAS the value vOuched for over the as
sayer's signature. Since the figures were
given out, Mr.. Morris has been accused
or -Salt1ng the Sample. ana all SORTS
of joshing has been his portion, but he
declares that nothing of the kind has
either been attempted or thought of
by him, and il is his honest belief that
thousands of dollars worth of just
such material as he brought in has
been going over the dump for years,
and he is OF the opinion that ninety
nine out of every 100 good miners would
say that that was where it belonged.
Speaking of the matter yesterday af-
terIfoon, Mr.. E. NJ. Weller. who was
manager at the Galena up to a couple
of years ago. said that he had undoubt-
edly sent many tons of it over the
dump himself, and though it might re-
fleet some on his knowledge he would
be only too glad to hear that the ma
terial in the dump was as valuable as
Mr.. Morris believed it to be, be
cause" said he. IF it is, I know where
there is almost any amount of it in
the mine
Mr. Morris said when he left the mine
the shaft had attained depth of $50
odd feet, snd that the dirt being raised
led the management 70 believe that ore
would be encountered within a few
feet. The different levels being opened
above the 500 were showing up we'll
and the future of the property looked to
him 10 be very bright.
