A BREEZE ~ THE SENATE.

1t is some time since we had anything
to say of Senator McLaurin, of South

which he does not care to ally himself.
He is not a democrat as all South Car

MANY NEW PROSPECTS.
Cases Where Well Dircc ted Bf-
fort Brings Its Reward.

The success met with in the develop
ment OF the big mines In this camp has
had the effect of stimulating the
prospecting and developing of new
properties. At the present time work
is being done on several claims, which
promise to amply reward their ener-
getic and persevering owners, and
which ere long will be numbered
among Ely's producers.
Among these may be mentioned the
claim of |. Petnode and Ben Strandman,
which is located just north of town.

ment work on this property Mr.. Petnoed

sApHo STOCK SALE.
Development Work In That Mine
VIII Now Be Pushed.

The object of P. c. Weber's visit to
Salt Lake City last week has been ac-
complished, and as result of one day s
labor among the capitalists OF Zion Mr..
Weber and his associates disposed of
30, 900 shares of Sapho treasury stock
at 25 cents a share, which considering
the fact that the Sapho Is new prop
erty in the financial world, Is q pretty
good figure. But the Sapho Is yalu-
able proposition, and Mr.. Weber took
with him samples OF Its ores that spoke
louder than words, and with these In
his possession he was at once given o
hearing by Salt Lakes mining invest
ors.
With the 81, 500 thus secured added
to its available funds development
work in the Sapho will be pushed
forward Immediately upon Mr.. Weber's
return, and there Is no doubt among
mining men here that. this property
will soon be added to White Pines big
dividend payers.
The Salt Lake Tribune of Friday,
April 10, says:
Col p. c. Weber, the experienced manager
of the sapho company's property at Ely. New.
came In from that thrifty camp to confer with
the local officers of the company yesterday.
and Will remain several days. With him came
a collection Of samples from the copper bear
ing ledge by which the gold-bearing vein is
paralleled, the samples showing fine carbon
ate, although some sulphides are visible. This
disclosure, said Col. Weber, who knows the
camp as he knows his alphabet, is upon the
Bob Tail claim, and active Development will
be inaugurated upon it at once. The tunnel
with which the gold-beafing ledge is being
opened up, has now passed through several
streaks OF ore that show from $50 to s26 gold
and from 1902 to 46.7 ounces silver per ton.
while Manager shepherd of the Chairman,
who recently made an examination of the
Sapho, says IT presents all the characteristics
OF most productive property.
The mines and mill of the Ely Mining and
Milling Company are giving a fine account of
themselves, with a stream of gold dust now
coming in this direction.
Two days later the Tribune gave the
result Of Fridays operations as follows:

drew of his stocking last night il was worth
81 500 more than the conte Is had footed up

solving SS0.0o shares Of treasury stock at 25
cents share. The negotiation, for the closing
of which Mr. Weber had been summoned
from camp, was consummated yesterday aft er
noon, and with the present fund the company
expects TO experience no trouble in putting
the proposition on productive basis.

Flatterina Report Made by a
Salt Lake Expert.

p. ]. Donahue, the expert who
recently examined the Rocco-Home
stake mine at Hamilton, White Pine
county, In the interest of Salt Lake
stock holders, has made his report,
which was published In the Salt Lake
Tribune OF the 18th inst. 1t Is very

from the Homestake mine. To treat 1t more

ores sampled by Mr.. Donahue shows &c per

gold The highest assay revealed "a per cent
lead, i2.6 ounces silver and 20 cents In gold
per ton The samples were taken from every

of the ore during the past year was t57 per ton,

ROBUsT's SUPERINTENDENT.
L. c. Doty Took Charge OF that
Property Last Saturday.

L. C. Doty the newly appointed
Superintendent of the Ely Mining and
Milling Company's properties at this
place, arrived here from Salt Lake
City last Friday evening, and on Sat-
urday morning assumed charge of the
mine. For several years Mr.. Doty
was the Superintendent of the Eureka
Hill mine at Eureka, Utah, and under
his management that property was
one of the heaviest producers In that
State. For the past two years Mr..
Doty has been superintending the
development work In the Apex mine
in the same locality, in which he Is one
OF the owners, and he has the expert
ence and ability necessary to success
fully handle the promising property
OF the Ely Mining and Milling
Company.
After an examination Of the mine on
Saturday Mr.. Doty expressed himself
as being well pleased with its physical
condition, and the mill he pronounced
gem. Under his management, he
says, there will be no radical change
In the policy heretofore carried out,
at least for the present, but the devel-
opment work will be pushed
to keep the ore bodies blocked out In
advance OF the output. Mr.. Merger
will remain as foreman of the mine.
The company's mill has been closed
down during the past ten days for the
purpose of making necessary improve
ments, and considerable new machinery
is being added which will enable the
plant to more easily handle It's full
capacity Of fifty tons day, and at the
same time extract the full values con-
tanned in the ores. Mill Superintend-
ent w. H. Wickham expects to have
everything in readiness TO resume
operations by May !, and unless unfore-
seen obstacles arise the plant will again
be in motion on that date.
In the meantime the work In the
mine is going steadily ON and the
supply OF ore on hand is being added
to daily.
