vein, is being pushed down through the

No great splurge has been made at
the Copper Ranch and Copper Noun
tain properties, but it is understood
that deals are pending on one or both
of them which will result later in their
being brought 20 the front. Both are
valuable properties and all they need
is the magic touch of capital to convert
them into bOnanzas.
A big combination of interests was
effected a few years ago when P. 3.
McKeOn and E T. Wolverton united
their numerous holdings and placed
them at the disposal of an eastern syn
dictate which, it is understood, is now
making preparations TO operate them
on an extensive scale. They embrace
the famous old Cave bonanza property,
the Tahsman, Blue Boy and Stalwart
groups, as well as the Monitor, Anvil,
Morey. Dew Rock and eighteen 'otheI
claims, which belonged to the Milford
Metal Mines & Development company.
Other Good Mines.
Developments at the o. K. Extension
and the Slzylark companies properties
have been steadily prosecuted under
the management of A J. McMulleu
and good results are being attained.
At the Estella matters are quiet at the
present time, the management laying
plans for an extensive campaign dur
ing the coming season. The Washing
ton company's mines are also Idle, ar
option upon them having recently beer
secured by WitcheF Jones. It is IN,

company's property. adjoining the Gao

there is a strong probability that work
upon it will be resumed before long.
The Burning Moscow and Wild Bill
properties were recently secured under
bond from Matthew Cullen and others
by the Rives brothers of this city. They
have obligated themselves to pay
something like $100, 900 for the mines
by the time their bond expires,
eighteen months hence. 1t is under
stood that eastern money is behind
them, and there is little doubt that the

In Eastern End of County.
Late in the fall, with other matters
Wen out of the way,.A. B. Lewis turned
his attention to the eastern portion Of
formation in which the mines of Gold
mountain occur. In fact, it is the
western slope of the same range Of
mountains that reaches down into
Beaver county, and in them is found
ores of precisely the same character.
Mr.. Lewis has purchased and bonded
large number of claims in this re-
giOn and at two or three points he now
has a force Of men employed in their
development. He expects the coming
seasons operations to develop some
big gold mines in that end of the
county.
Work is steadily progressing at nu-
nerOus other properties in the different
districts of the county, and at no time
in the history of mining mas anything
like the number of men been employed
in revealing the hidden mineral wealth
of the region so hastily and incom-
pIeteIy covered by this review.
The staid old Horn Silver, a property
which has been opened and explored
to a depth of 1900 feet, with dividend
record of millions, has been left en-
tirely out of the reckoning. 1t is still
providing the means for further ex-
ploration, however, and one Of these
days it will again enter the dividend
lists and gladden. the hearts Of its own

other companies viii be under way and

such scenes of activity that the oldest
