has been spent I'm the development and
equipment OF this gold property and
within the next few months the COM
pany expects 20 begin TO accumulate "a
surplus OF the above sum nearly
$4,000 has been expended during the

600 tons OF ore are blocked out, which
will average $50 per tom Picked sam
pies have assayed as high as 800 per ton
In gold The property has several
thousand feet Of workings. After de-
veloplug Il by means OF shaft and
drifts and wines IN the vein, the COM
pany is now driving a working tunnel
10 the old workings through which the
ore win he handled very economically.
This tunnel IS on a level with the top
Of the new mill, 10 which the ore Will
be trammed and dumped into the
crusher. after being dropped from the
different levels Of the mine in chutes.
The mill IS not yet completed. but Il is
expected that It viii be put into COM
mission soon after the LIST Of the year.
It's capacity Is about no tons per day,
but the start will be made With but one
shift or from forty 20 fifty tons per
day The mill is equipped with one
gyratory crusher three sets Of rolls,
FIVE 50-ton pulp tanks and all OF the
other accessories TO complete cyan
idlng plant The machinery consists OF
a 70 horse power Erie engine and two
S0-h0rse power boilers a permanent
water supply Is insured by the con-
structlon 5000 feet OF pipe line and q
pumping station Timber FOR fuel IS
also said TO be abundant and II Is ex-
pected that the Ely will make a good
record next season as a shipper. The
property consists Of twelve full claims
and two fractions, Of which four are
patented. About thirty men have been

THE NEVADA COMPANY.
The Nevada company's property,
which IS owned by Salt Lakers, is To-
Gated at Galena, Nevada II has been
opened up by a shaft $50 feet deep from
which about 800 feet Of drifts and
raises have been run II Is estimated
that the company has 10000 tons OF
milling ore In sight The ore runs
about 81 so in gold. 6 ounces silver, and
per cent lead, II is said that a wet
concentration would treat the ore at a
cost Of about SO per ton leaving a net
profit OF about IS per ton. II Is prob
able that the company viii resume
sinking shortly 10 get under the ore
bodies already opened up, The com
pany has shipped several cars Of ore
TO Salt Lake smeters during the year.
THE CoCONINo.
An immense showing OF copper ore IL
reported In the Coconino Mining COM
pany's property In northern Arizona, In
which Senator Gull Nebeker and 9TH
er Utah men are interested, The COM
pany owns about $40 acres OF a big
blanket vein Of copper ore In a layer
OF sand stone. The ore is from 20
feet thick and contains very good
percentage Of copper. Picked samples
run from % 20 90 per cent but the gem
eral average Is much lower, II Is still
sufficiently high % insure a good mar
gin when Il is handled by the best
method. The company is said TO
have probably 100000 tons Of ore in
sight, which Is an ideal ore for a leach
lnE process. a 5O-ton smelter has been
built az the mine and several miles OF
a water lire has been put In, but II Is
probable that the company VIII ulu-
mately adopt one OF the many teaching
processes now on the market.
WILLARD HILL,
A great deal OF attention has been
given 20 the mines on and around VIII
lard Hill. near Ogden. during the past
year Some very good ore has been
opened up and II Is quite probable that
with greater depth some paying mines
win be developed AS it Is Don Ma
CURES FL Dorado gives promise OF bis
things next year. a modern tramWay
several thousand feet long has been
constructed % convey the ores from the
precipItous heights where the mine is
located TO the dump. At other proper
ties also work S. being pushed with
vIgor. Which induces the belief that
the district win eventually be heard
from with steady shipments.
