Coon SPRINGS.
Good Springs is situated in the
Southeastern portion of Lincoln
county, about 200 miles from Phoebe
and in the Yellow Pine Mining Dis
trict. The Boss aud Columbia group
of mines, owned by H. White of
Manse, and others have been pur-
chased by Messrs. R. Seemans, Hen
ry Hirsching and Herbert Dabney,
all men of means. They have erected
at Good Springs fine plant for
the treatment of copper ores and en-
tirely upon new principles and pro-
cess. 1t is teaching plant; thirty
two tanks have been put up, boilers,
engines and pipes have been erected,
all at a very great cost. Mr.. Hirsch-
ing is lemist well known and the
secret of extraction of copper by
teaching is his own, and the success
of this great enterprise means much
for the mining world, as it will do
away entirely with the roasting and
smelling of copper ores. They have
about 40 men employed in the mines
and around the works.
A. G. Campbell has just completed
the surveying of 23 mining claims
for patent, q of the claims are lead
and two are copper. Mr.. Campbell
has shipped from the May Kirby
heavy lead ore all winter. The line
of the proposed railroad comes with
in six miles Of this place and it is safe
to say that Mr. Campbell can supply
the railroad with Is carloads of
ore day for years, great item in
itself.
The famous Potosi mine is also
situated in this district. 1t was
from this mine that the Indians and
Mormons in the early days got their
lead to make bullets. 1t will be a
heavy shipper.
The Keystone mines and the Bear
foot mine are also among the num-
Der that have great showings, both
having been good producers in the
past. In addition to these there are
many others of lesser note.
A post office has been established
at Good Springs with S. E. Yount
as post master. Mr.. Yount is run
ming feed corral, store and saloon,
Mrs. Smithson and Mr.. Bullock are
both running boarding houses. A
school house will be built by the
gentlemen putting up the copper
plant and petition has been pre-
sented the Board of Commissioners
to have the boundaries of Las Vegas
school district extended to take in
Good Springs; also road district
has been petitioned for and the ap-
pointment of Justice of the Peace.
The mail service which is now once
a week from Sandy to Moapa, by
way of Good Springs will be iu-
creased to twice a week; there is also
mail service from Marvel to Good
Springs twice week.
ELDoRADo CANYON.
This old time place has lain idle
for nearly year, due to the selling
out of the Southwestern Mining
Company's interest under Marshall's
sale, but is now on its feet again.
The ores Of this camp have been
treated by the amalgamation process
heretofore, and when Mr.. Joseph
Wharton purchased the property
under Marshall sale, he Immediately
went to work to to find the best pro-
cess for the treatment of the ores of
the camp, found the cyanide to be
tie best and has just erected fifty
ton plant. The plant is in charge of
Mr.. r. G. Eckis. They have eight
tanks of 20 tons capacity. The ex-
traction shows high per cent and
so hours is all that is necessary to
extract the values. The plant was
started up on the 18th of April and
at present is working on tailings.
The old fifteen stamp mill which has
been landmark for ElDorado Can
yon for 80 years will soon be dis
mantlsd to make room for additional
tanks as it is the intention to in
crease the capacity to 300 tons per
day. John Huess has just disposed
of his interest in some mines there
to Mr.. Eckis for $250O cash. Mr..
McGregor has offered his property
for $4,000 cash to the same gentle
man, and we understand 1t is to be
taken up at that figure.
