ALTA A COPPER CAMP.
John Bettess of the Montezuma Tells
of Conditions There.

John Bettess who is interested in the
development of the Montezuma and
Native Copper mines at Alta is in the
city, having arrived several days ago
along with a shipment Of high-grade
silver-lead ores. At the present time
Mr. Bettess is working a force. of five
men and while he is developing the
property and blocking out new bodies
of ore he has prepared to keep up regu-
lar shipments.
Mr.. Bettess says Alta is looking good
at the present time and he believes
the revival in the camp again is more
than passing Importance.
I'VE have the ore up there" said he
yesterday, land / believe Alta will
make a camp as big and great as Tin
tic. Copper is being discovered every
where and on the Montezuma We have
just found a vein of high-grade ore"
Mr.. Bettess said it had not been de-
termined how wide the vein y but
it could be inferred that from what
he had to say that it was by no means
a small one. He took an assay GER
tificate from his pocket which showed
returns of % per cent copper and one
ounce in silver.
The strike was made at the bottom
of a siXty-foot shaft, which has been
put down to that depth recently.
The Albion is working a force Of
twelve men. A nice grade of shipping
ore is being extracted there.
T. II. Clark has recently found some
good copper ore on the Rustler group.
A force of eight men is employed there
at the present time.
The Grizzly and City Rocks are both
extracting copper ore. The latter is
being worked under bond and lease.
Mr.. Bettess is working a small force
On his Native Copper claims where en-
couraging results are being obtained.
There are signs of life around the
famous Emma mine, from which mil
lions of dollars were taken in the early
days. Repairs have been made to the
property. MIR. Bettess says, on the sur
face and great many believe it an
indication at the old mine is to be
operated again.
Mr.. Bettess will leave for the camp
again tomorrow.

The mining stock market was in an

of very active trading and good prices.

the stock has been forced down to a

Colonel George w. E. Dorsey, who
returned a day or two since from an
extended eastern trip, brings the It'd
ings that a number of New England
bankers and capitalists, principally OF
Maine and Vermont, have organized
under the laws of the state of Maine
what is to be known as the New Eng
land Exploration company, with
capital of $5,000,000. for the purpose OF
investing in mines, mining stocks ano
developed prospects in the mining DIS
tricts of the west
Colonel Dorsey met some of the NOV
ing spirits in the enterprise and more
enthusiastic lot of men, he says, ne
never saw in his life. The capital stock
was all subscribed in no time; in tact.
there was not enough to go around, ano
the men making up the company, he
says, are the shrewdest and wealthiest
people of the states named.
Learning that Colonel Dorsey was
from Utah, they besieged him with all
sorts of inquiries and asked his adj
vice and opinion on many subjects con-
nected with their scheme, and before
he left he had their assurance that
they would have representatives out
here in a very short time. 1t is the
purpose of the company, Mr.. Dorsey
says, to establish agencies or branch
offices at different points throughout
the mining regions and get action on
their money just as soon as possible.
The $5,000,000 for which the company
is capitalized does not begin to repre-
sent the amount of money the people
will invest if the opportunities present

OFFERED TO SPEND $780, 900.
P. L. Kimberley's Proposal to Tie Up
the Annie Laurie.

AS stated yesterday morning, the
option under which Frank J. Cannon
was negotiating the sale of the Annie
Laurie expired the night before and
yesterday morning Walter j. Filler
representing Mr.. Kimberley, who left
for the east on an early train made the
directors of the Annie Laurie company
an offer to expend $4,000 on develop
ment work at the mine, that sum to be
used by the mine management in ex-
ploring parts of the property to be
designated by Mr.. Kimberley The
work was to be done as fast as three
shifts at each point could do it and
from the time the money had been
spent Mr.. Kimberley was to be given
thirty days in which to pay S210,-
900 for the mine.
The meeting did not last more than
ten or fifteen minutes and the offer
was unceremoniously turned down. Mr.
Filler and Judge Aldrich, who stopped
over to make the offer left for Chicago
this morning SO the whole matter is at
an end.
Whether some other proposition, from
another source, is still under considera-
ton could not be learned yesterday, but
the fact that Frank Cannon is still in
the east lends color to the belief that
there is yet something in the way of "a
deal pending which has not yet been
made public.

from the north yesterday. and attended
a meeting of the stockholders in the
law offices of Pierce, Critchlow & Bar
rette, in the forenoon.
The meeting was held for the pur-
pose of considering the adoption of GER

was increased from 100000 to 100000.

fish a transfer Office in Butte, Mont,
where the transfer books may be kept
Those who came down from Butte
were Frank L. Sizer, j. Burton Liggat
and William Thompson.
The entire party went down to the
mine last night, where they will make
an inspection of the property.
Mr.. Sizer was seen yesterday, and
he voiced the sentiments of his as
sociates in expressing the belief that
the April Fool will become as produce
tive as the great De Lamar mines will
be, adjoining the April Fool.
The mine is to be opened up on
large scale, and the work of enlarging
the milling facilities will soon be I'M
der way. 4
Many other improvements will be
added from time to time, and the ma
chinery for a new hoist is being put in
place.

Vernal, Aug. 29.-Jesse Knight came
in last night from trip along the lime
belt, and left this afternoon for his
home at Provo. He was very favorably
impressed with the Douglass mountain
country, and, in fact, the entire reef.
He has confined his holdings. however,
to the Carbonate end of the belt, and
intimates that he will push matters Oh
his properties there. Uncle jesse has
unbounded faith in the Cleveland,
which joins the Dyer on the west, and
the Grizzly, four miles east. Develop
ment work is going on steadily on these
properties, both of which are being de-
veloped by tunnels, both Of which show
favorable indications.
Several claims have changed hands
over in the Jesse Ewing country dur
ing the last few days, and interest Is
growing in that section. Byron Nebe-
ker recently returned from there, and
brought in several fine specimens of
ore from the new find on the Mann
moth. The specimens are very high
grade copper ore, showing the red metal
in its native state.

Rabbits Foot Showing.
Especial correspondence.2

Silver City, Sept. 2.-Superintendent
McGahan of the Rabbits Foot reports
everything running very smoothly at
last. He said that the ore showing on
the $50 had materially improved, and
that some time next week, when the
drifts could be properly timbered, he
would put eight or ten men on mineral
and continue shipping regularly. The
mineral faces are disclosed in both the
north and south drifts on the $50, and
even much larger showing on the 200,
though possibly the ore does not carry
such high copper values. The whole
outlook warrants Mr.. McGahan in say
ing that he never felt SO confident in
his life that they had a real mine as
he does now" There is quite bit of
ore on the dump, containing some ex-
tremely rich copper, glance and arseni-
cal. Ore bins and platform are being
built.

Four Aces Ore Improving.
Especial Correspondence.)

Silver City, Sept. I'm speaking of
the condition of the Four Aces this
morning, Superintendent Cole was more
pronounced and emphatic than ever
before. He said that the volume and
grade of mineral exposed, and the size
and condition of the vein on the 700
justified him in believing and saying
that they were fast getting something
to congratulate themselves on. The
percentage of lead shows a vast in
crease in the ores coming from the 700,
with corresponding decrease of silica.
Mr.. Cole said as soon as the directory
determined about the location of the
pump, station would be cut at the
200. and the shaft carried on down.
Four cars of ore have been sent out in
the past two weeks, and two more are
now being loaded.

BULL1oNvILLE MINE BONDED.
The Property Is Located Near Phoebe
Nevada.
(Pioche Record.)

John B. MCGEE and c. w. Heidel of
Salt Lake have bonded what is known
as the Bullionville mining property,
also six claims from Mr.. Reese. on the
same ore channel. These claims are
considered by many as being among
the most promising claims in the dis
trict for large bodies of high-grade
lead and silver ore. There have heen
several shipments from this property of
ore taken from an eighty-foot shaft
sunk on one of the locations in 'SS, but
for some cause the owners got into a
tanGle and the mine has not been
worked to any great extent since that
time. We look for good results when
the mine is properly opened up, which
we understand is the intention of the
parties to do in the near future.
A number of mining experts visited
Phoebe last week. looking over the
prospects at Phoebe and Bristol, among
the number being Charley w. Bacon
of New York, an old-time friend Of Mr..
MCGEE. Mr.. Heidel. Salt Lake min,
ing man and expert, stopped with us
during the week, looking at different
properties, and was pleased with the
outlook, as he became interested in
several valuable claims. He left for
Groom on Wednesday for the purpose
of examining the Groom mines with the
view of purchasing same for an eastern
syndicate. If the half we have been
told in regard to the magnitude of the
Groom property is true, it certainly has
great merit, and the company that se-
cures it, at almost any cost, will reap
a rich harvest in the future.
