ings right away and surveys for the
purpose of determining the best point
at which TO start a new tunnel for that
purpose are now being made. Discuss
ing the matter yesterday Manager
Thomas Kearns said he expected to
have the work commenced in a short
time, and he thought a point would be
selected which would not require a
long tunnel. 1t had first been thought
best to start the new tunnel at a point
which would give them much greater
depth, but rather than run the risk of
finding the vein displaced, a condition
which would require a great amount
of prospecting, it had been thought
best to get to the deep gradually. The
mine on the present tunnel level is re-
ported to be showing up well. and in
doing the prospecting and development
work at that point sufficient ore can be
produced to keep several teams at
work hauling. Another 100 tons is now
ready for market, and three or four
teams are kept steadily hauling TO til,
sampler. Mr.. Kearns would not con-
firm the figures, but from another
source it was learned that the ore
which has recently been sampled runs
over 30 per cent copper. But whether
it goes that high or not, there is little
doubt that the mine can be made to
pay its way from now on.

John Paradise, j. II. Deming and
others. have just located and recorded
six claims in the Centerville mining dis
triot which, according to the gentlemen
named. are going to create a stir in
mining circles. Several weeks ago they
made a trip into the hills east of Gem
terville and spent several days pros
pecting in a section TO which their at
tention had been previously called, and
samples of a ledge which they ran
across gave such aging results
that they decided to have some work
done upon the find
The ledge, the gentlemen declare. is
all OF thirty feet wide, but the work so
far done was confined TO opening up a
likely looking streak of ore close to the
hanging wall. From this some two tons
of ore has been mined, and sample as
SAYS have given returns of twelve per
cent copper.
With that showing on top of the
ground it was considered good enough
to locate so during the past three days
six claims have been located, staked
and recorded, and during the I.ext few
days, or as soon as Mr.. Paradise can
attend to some business matters in the

under his direction will commence ac-
tive development work on the claims.
In discussing the find yesterday Mr..
Paradise said he had never in his life

SILVER PARK AND Ell REY.
Work On These Two Groups Pro-
crossing Very Satisfactorily.
Especial Correspondence.)


Silver City, Aug. 26.-A. L. Toll, su-
perintendent of the Silver Park and
e. Rey group, says that both of the
new plants were working satisfactorily,
and that promising results were at
tending the underground efforts. He
adds that drifting for the vein had
been commenced at the 10 level IN
the new Park shaft, so as to connect
with the incline Wine sunk years ago
by Pat Condor, and from which for
tune had been obtained. Quite a body
of concentrating lead ore is in sight
now in the winZe, but all work Will be
directed towards uncovering a big ore
chute known to exist, which is pitch
ing towards the south. This same ore
body is revealed in another winZe
about SEQ feet from the tunnel mouth,
but under present conditions 1t cannot
be advantageously handled.
Touching on affairs at. the Elmer
Ray, Mr. Toll said that he had cut a
station at the 100, and one at the 200
levels and is now drifting from both
points on the vein. 1t is his intention
to continue north in the 200 drift to
tap the old Elmer Ray shaft, to insure
safety and good air. On the 200 level
quite a body of low grade ore had been
which possibly later on
may be utilized in concentration way.
The several assays gave results ap-
from 4 to AZ per cent in
copper. and from eighteen to twenty
ounces in silver, with some lead. Work

GRAND CENTRAL BREAK
ASCRIBED AS CAUSE OF THE
GENERAL SLUMP.
Mammoth Follows the Decline-Tin-
tic Stocks Were Decidedly the
Most Popular In the Local Market
-Mercur Stocks Weaker With One
Exception-The Weeks Sales.

The past week has been demoralizing
so far as mining stocks are concerned.
A general decline has been noticed in
all classes of Securities, with possibly
some few exceptions.
Some brokers attribute the general
slump TO the break in Grand Central
which fell almost 50 a share within the
past ten days. Just about the time
the slump started several brokers had
bought it for clients at home above
50 and that has had a tendency to put
a damper on their enthusiasm and they
feel disposed to await further develop
ments.
Mammoth has been affected by the
general depreciation, but still the stock
has held up we'll and it is the general
opinion that it will recover. During
the last three months three dividends
have been declared, which averaged 10
cents share, or a total of S1S0,000.
Other Tintic stocks have been popu-
lar in the local market, really more so
than any other camp. May Day has
strengthened up the last few days on
account of recent strikes there. La
Refine has been in demand, but holders
of the stock are not inclined to let go
and many of them say it can not be
touched under 81 a share; that it is
worth tnat much money and they will
not sell under that price. Eagle &
Blue Bell has been a little stronger,
while Star Consolidated has been
weaker. However the physical condi-
ton of the mine never looked better
The Swanseas and Bowers stocks have
been in active demand, but prices were
some lower than usual.
Four Aces has made no special i'm
provement, although some heavy ship
ments have been made. Better prices
are looked for almost any day and
some brokers say it is sure to i'm
prove.
With the exception of Mercur, the
Mercur stocks have all suffered great
ly the past week. Chloride Point, Gey-
ser-Marion, Daisy and Sacramento have
taken a turn down the toboggan.
Bingham stocks, which are sold
abroad more than locally, have been

THE COPPER PLANT.
Little Doubt That Tt Will Blow In
Soon.

The Salt Lake copper plant will be
started up within the next few months,
nj least there is little doubt of it. But
il has been impossible to get the con-
firmation of such movement at the
conlpany's office in this city.
1t is known, however, that the
Lewiston brothers are after some sill
cious ores and it is not likely they
would be on hunt for them II 1t was
not the intention TO blow in the FUR
naces at the copper plant.
1t is known toe, as stated in The
Herald week or so ago, that the ores
of the Copper Mountain mine in Box
Elder county, need the aid of those of
q silicious character TO make them an
easy smelling proposition.
II ii learned that these cannot be ODD
tanned very readily in the vicinity of
Copper Mountain, hence the plan VIII
be 10 ship the ores from that property
TO the Salt Lake plant and silicious
ores from other camps Will be brought
forward in sufficient quantities TO keep
the big plant in operation.
The copper plant will not enter into
competition with the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company. If any ores
are called in from other than the COM
pany's own properties, it Will be only
in sufficient quantities to make up GER
tain deficiencies required TO make them
most applicable for treatment.
It is safe to predict that the big plant
will be running within a very short
time.
1t will require some time to make
notifications in the plant before it will
be ready TO start up.

DEEP CREEK COUNTRY.
Plans Being Made For Smelter For
Wilson Hill Group.

Several miners were sent out to the
Wilson Hill mine in the~Deep Creek
country yesterday by George NJ. Helm,
manager of the Colossus Mining &
Smelling company. With these added
there will be a force OF eight men en-
ployed at the mine. From Mr.. Helm
it is learned the property has seine i'm
nense bodies of galena and carbonate
ores, and he claims there are places
where the vein matter is fully seventy
i've feet between walls. Assays taken
from the ore has given values of 80 per
cent lead, So gold and ten ounces silver.
The ore is said to be practically self
fiuxing and carries from 80 to 30 per
cent iron. In fact, Mr.. Helm says, it
contains all the clements necessary to
make it q capital smelling proposition.
The present company has been in pos
session of the property but a short
time, but it has gone ahead with i'm
provements and has new buildings I'M

grade ore right away. and ne says the

BRITISH CoLUMBIA MINES.
Eight-hour Law Fails to Work In the
SLOGAN District.

After an absence of about two weeks
Vivian AIcCune has returned from Brit
ish Columbia. where he went along with
his father to attend to some mining
business. He says the mines of the Slo-
can district are all closed down on ac-
count of the eight-hour law. which was
put into force there a few months ago.
The miners were formerly paid $500
day for ten hours work, and when the
new law went into effect the Miners
union insisted on the same scale of
wages. The mine owners of the dis
trict believed that TO be unfair, and Of
fered to settle the dispute with the
union by paying the miners So for eight
hours work When this scale was re-
fused by the union operations ceased,
and all the mines in the district ceased
the extraction of ore. The shutdown
occurred in May last, and since that
time, Mr.. McCune says, no work of
any kind has been performed in the
SLOGAN district only by contract. He
says he thinks it will be only a short
time until the difficulty will be adjusted
and that the miners will accent the
wages the mining companies are WILL
ing to pay them. In speaking of the
Payne mine, which has made a record
for itself in the past, some very rich
ore has been encountered lately in the
lower tunnel. and the big producer is
looking better than at any time in its
history. Hon. A. w. McCune is eX-
pected home tomorrow or next day.

STRIKE IN THE SUNSHINE.
A Fine Body of Ore Disclosed On the
300 Level.

Development work is being pushed in
the Sunshine mine, under the direction
of Gill S. Peyton and Boston associ-
ates.
On the 300-foot level drift has been
run a distance of 200 feet and a fine
body of ore disclosed.
AS high as trselve-dollar ore has been
found there, and the entire vein will
average up INTO satisfactory milling
proposition.
The Overland is doing nicely and the
mine and mill are giving the most en-
couraging results.
The disclosures made at the above
mines have infused new life into the

DEAL ON NEW STATE PENDING.
The Control of the Mine Likely to
Change Hands.

Ever since work was resumed on the
New State gold property at the mouth
of Little Cottonwood canyon, and par
ticulaIly since the fine showing made in
the cross-cut west from the tunnel lev
el, rumors that the control of the
property was being sought have been
many and persistent, and yesterday
Manager w. j. Wolstenholm, who is al
so one of the heaviest stockholders in
the company, admitted that such was
the case. Mr.. Wolstenholm said he had
secured the control himself; he had had
it for some time and if pending nego-
tiations did not fail, he expected to dis
pose of it during the next few days. He
did not feel at liberty to give particu-
lars concerning it at this time, as he
said the matter was still open.
Work is still progressing at the mine,
but nothing regarding the value or eX-
tent of the strike made some three
weeks ago can be learned. All that Mr..
Wolstenholm could be induced to say
was that it looked just about the same
as when last reported.
