ACTIVITY IN IRON COUNTY.
Colonel Miner Returns From the
Pinto District.

Colonel s. b. Miner and Glen r.
Boutwell, have returned from a trip to
Iron county, where they went about a
week ago to look over the great Utah
iron fields which are beginning to show
so much activity.
Speaking of the -Dear-Lerch
group, consisting of an even fifty
claims in all, Colonel Miner said yes
terday that development work is going
along satisfactorily and everywhere
that exploratory work has been per-
formed the results are simply astonish-
ing, and have a great deal more than
met his expectations. The Pinto min
ing claims Nos. Z, 8, 9 and 10 have an
especially fine showing, and when they
were located it seemed doubtful
whether they contained anything. The
quality of the ore seems to improve
with depth in every instance. The
country is full of experts, the colonel
states. and they seem to cover up their
identity pretty well, as no one seems
to know who they represent and what
they are there for. They seem to be
covering the district pretty thoroughly
and gathering samples wherever they
go. Mr.. Boutwell, has secured some in
terests in the camp.
The iron deposits are not the only
mineral resources receiving attention
in the district just now. Thompson &
Frew Of Salt Lake have lately taken a
lease and bond on a group of copper
claims from the Page brothers. Quite
large force Of men are working there.
and a few days ago a four-foot vein Of
fine copper ore was cut into which,
Colonel Miner thinks, will average be-
tween 20 and so per cent in the red
metal. 1t is beautiful showing of cop
per and those who have seen it pro-
nounce it as being one of the big
things in southern Utah.

experts would be at the mine within
the next few days to conduct an exam

Mr.. Weir.
Especial Correspondence


Mammoth, March 31.-"My trip here
at this time" remarked Thomas Weir,
more than ever convinces me that the
Ajax bids fair to become better than
an average mine. To my notion it
never looked as promising as it does
now. This week we will market four
cars of most excellent copper ore quite
similar to that we put out last week,
and, IL fact, about every week lately,
and in point of values it is much better
than the average ore formerly obtained
in the Ajax. This coming week we Will
commence sinking from the 700 level,
and will go at least 200 feet deeper, and
possibly more, before doing any extern
sive searching. We know the chute
continues vertically, because we are
mining ore in a Wine on the 700, or
between the seventh and eighth levels.
/ have every reason to regard the Ajax
as a most likely property, and none to
think unfavorably."
Superintendent Morris L. Nebeker
went to the city this morning to look
after the sampling of about 100 tons of
ore Touching on the conditions at the
Tintic Iron, Mr.. Weir said they were
still drifting nOrtheasterly on the third,
fourth and fifth Levels, and had cross
cut in several places but as the lime
was very hard and the work is being
done by hand, progress had been slow.

In the cyanide market a marked i'm

pany being 1927 pounds, az against o.
563 pounds in February. The value Of

ALICE ANNUAL REPORT.
Company Closed Down the Mill and
Mine.

Company Closed Down the Mill and
Mine
The officers of the Alice Gold & Sill.
yer Mining company the Salt Lake cor
pOration owning extensive properties at
Walkerville, Mont. have just issued
their annual report for 1899. President
Joseph r. Walker. in submitting the
report to the stockholders, sums up
conditions at the property as follows:
1t was decided at the end of the third
quarter by the board of directors to
cease mining by days pay and also the
running of the mill, on account of the
low price of silver and the decrease in
the values of the ores mined. 1t was,
however, thought best to continue the
working of the mines by the tribute
system" as the ores mined by tributers
could be sold on the market. Up to
the present time the receipts from ore
sales have about paid the current ex-
penseS.
It will be seen by the superintendent
report that there are large bodies of
sulphide ores blocked out in some of the
mines We have been endeaYoring to
find q suitable process for the fepara-
ton of these ores, so that the same can
be profitably mined.
BY referring TO the secretary's state-
ment of receipts and disbursements it
will be observed that the disbursements
exceed the receipts by s17,27614 This
was Occasioned by TIE low price of sill
yer and the decrease in the values of
the ores mined, which occurred from
month to month during the year.
1t has been the desire of the entire
board to keep the property in operation,
hoping that either the price of silver
would advance or the values in the ore
increase. but. unfortunately. neither
has happened. Therefore it became
necessary to close down the mill and
cease operations by days pay in order
to save further loss.

of $500, conveyed to the company 3O.6S
acres and Charles Hogenson contrib
uted ten acres for $500.

The Daily Fake.

The officers and stockholders of the
Daisy Gold Mining company. and the
holders OF the $25,000 trust deed against
that Inflated West Dip property have
been endeavoring to find out where the
meeting announced under the glaring
headlines in the Daily Blunderbuss on
Friday morning was held. None Of the
officers of the company nor the holders
Of the trust deed seem to know any
thing about. such a meeting and the
story is pronounced by them as rank
fake.
There seems little probability of the
stockholders holding any more meet
ings in an effort to save the property
and it is pretty generally conceded that
nothing is left for the holders of the
trust deed to do but to begin foreclos-
ure proceedings

CENTENNIAL-EUREKA ORES.
Total Production in March Was 40
Cars.

The Centennial-E Eureka was in yes
terday's market with ten cars of cop
per ores. During the month the great
TintiC producer sold something like 40
cars. Although no statistics have been
given out officially 1t is pretty safe to
say that the entire lot will average the
company $50 per ton net, making the
total amount received for 2.SOO tons
$4,000. The shipments for the month
have been pretty evenly divided be-
tween the silver-gold and copper Tres.
superintendent Allen expects to keep
the production not far from 100 tons per
