ST. LOUIS PROPERTY.
Company Decides to Begin
Work at Once.

II has been decided by the manage
ment of the st. Louis property on
Deer Creek to begin operations in a
short time. Tunel No Is now in
500 feet on the ledge and the
present purpose Is to continue
development work on this tunnel.
The vein has already been crosscut
three or four times showing width
Of from thirty-five to forty feet Of
good ore. 1t is soft, oxidized
cyanide proposition carrying salts
factory values. 1t Is regarded IA
one of the best cyaniding ores to be
found in the camp.
The company will continue
development work until it has
sufficient amount of ore blocked out
to keep mill running several years.
1t ia stated that in all probability
this work will be far enough advanced
to warrant the building II mill this
fall

public may have been justified in
looking at askance in the beginning
has been demonstrated to contain
vast and high grade ore bodies, thus
increasing the number of produc-
ing mines. Claims which will
doubtless prove just AS good are be-
ing opened up. older properties are
dropping into the line of dividend
payers, and so on. These can not
but help establish confidence among
investors. They see what Is here
now, and If they have business
foresight they are willing to invest.
Again, the shrinkage in railroad
stocks and the small dividends other
industries are paying will naturally
drive capital to other fields. One of
the most attractive fields Is mining,
and the place which presents greater
opportunities in this direction Is
Sumpter.

active development Of the property.
II will be the policy to block still
more Of the large ore reserves
already opened up preparatory to the
installation of an adequate milling
and treating plant. When the fact
Ia recalled to mind that there has
already been opened up on this
property over One-half milli on
dollars Of high grade ore, It will be
seen that the policy in reference to
installing milling equipment Is
exceedingly conservative. There Is
already Oh the ground forty ton
smslter for the treatment Of the
cOmpsny's high grade products.
Considerable ore has already been
produced which has been shipped
to the Sumpter smelter and else
where. Some Of this ore has been
shipped to France and Germany on
account Of the high cobalt values.
This Ia one of the few proposition
In the country carrying substantial
cobalt values.
The assays on the Standard ore
run from good milling and
concentrating grade up to s2, 400.
The matte produced at the smelter
on the property netted over 300 a
ton. which Is an exceptionally fine
showing.
The property has ample equipment
in the way of cabins for the workmen,
blacksmith shops and other appur.
tenances. Development work can be
taken up and continued most
advantageously. This means great
deal for the Quartzurg district. The
operations inaugurated by the COM
pany will signify new life, energy
aud activity to the camp generally.
Dixie Creek will again become the
source of unprecedented wealth,
such rs II was In the palmy placer
days. The consummation Of this big
corporation Is due to the energy and
activity Of the Killen, Warner,
Stewart company, which will act rs
the authorized fiscal agents and place
stock to be sold for development and
equipment purposes on the market.

WHILE there Is yet much time In
which to perfect the matter, the min
ing companies here should begin
casting about toward getting together

the world for that matter, and IL

represents. Much IL to be accomp-
lished In this way. The st. Louis
fair will he one Of the greatest this
country has ever seen. Thousands
of people interested in mining will
be there. aud an exhibit truthfully
representing the resources Of the
district accompanied by descriptive
literature would accomplish u great
deal. THE MINER has urged the
organization Of u chamber of
commerce, a commercial and mining
mems club, or whatever II IL thought
best to style such an institution as
long as there Ii no mistake about
its functions. The arranging Of u
mining exhibit would naturally fall
to such body, II 1t were In

steps to be taken In this direction.
THE MINER recalls the instance
Of Sound city whose chamber Of
commerce was instrumental In getting
together a most excellent exhibit
ut the Buffalo exposition. There was
no lack Of descriptive literature to
accompany the exhibit. The exhibit
challenged the attention Of tho
world, and incidentally brought
thousands of dollars to that city for
investment.

only will II sce more accomplished
In II mining way, but all other
branches of business will be better

properties which have been idle
during tho winter months are getting

thing points to an active season.
