Mohave County miner., 1903-02-14

iroh the last SIX feet opened up 150
sacks have been secured. In appear.
ance the ore resem bles that which the
Fraction produces, but it exceeds it
In values. Eight assay certificates
shown the Miner give returns of 352s.
1888, 1918, 446s, 692s, 3S0s, 2O9s and 754s,
one-third of which or more is gold,
the balance silver. Samples of the ore
we're also shown which had been put
through the force, and on them stood
out little globules of gold, driven out
oy the heat to which they had been
subjected. 1t Is the intention of the
CON pany, at this depth, to establish a
station and drive drifts east aud west,
thereby thoroughly prospecting the
ledge just opened up. Sinking, how.
ever, will go right on, aud will be con-
tinued till depth of loco feet is
reached
The fame of Park City is wides pread
but few are familiar with the actual
accom- plishments OF this remarkable
district, and its individual mines. The
Ontario has paid in dividends no less
1882, ,500s. The Silver King has paid
3,lJ0,OJ0s. The DAILY has paid 1926, ,0OOs
The Daily West has paid 2,367 zoos. The
Quincy has paid l,050,O00s. The Cres-
cent has paid 2SO,000s. The perma.
nency OF the veins Of Park City is un-
questioned-they have already been
worked to depth ranging from LOCO to
1000 feet. The veins are for the most
part true fissure and of great size,
growing larger aud stronger with depth.
The Ontario has been operated since
1872 and has produced over 81, 900 ,oooS
The larger properties all have tremen.
dous reserves blocked out ahead of
production and new reserves are con
tinually being added. The Ontsrio
tunnel, which is an extension of the
l,5oo foot level Of the Ontario, drains
the mines to this level. The water
from this tunnel is used for furnishing
power and light for the mine and for
lighting Park City. The foregoing
brief facts regarding Park City show
the magnitude Of this section Of Utah's
mining industry aud show plainly the
fou nd alton for the true and oft repeat.

In a special article to the Phenix
Republican Frank Alley tells how they
do business in the Warren district.
He says: A few months ago the Calu-
met and Bisbee company was formed,
aud has gathered in standard group
of some fourteen claims, close in on
what IL universally conceded to be
the big copper belt. They paid first
class price for every foot of their
ground. They had never discovered a
ledge, nor dixie, not blow out, not a
hat full of float. In the estimation OF
Hassayamper, who has chronic
prediction for being Showed" there
are no more indications of mine in
that group then there are in a New
England graveyard, yet on the 18th
day OF Octo ber, 1902, on spot that has
not the slightest suggestion OF any
thing better than limestone, and half
mile away from anything better, the
com pany stuck their first pick in the
ground, and now they have an office,
boarding house, bunk house, store
room, blacksmith ship, three resi-
dences, and dozen more going up
They have two and one half com
partment shaft down forty feet, with
collar, frame and windlass. They have
ten carloads of building and mining
timbe on the ground. They have a
hoist engine OF 400 feet capacity al
Don Luis, one fourth of a mile away
and have ordered another Of Zoo feet
capacity. Their deposit is in the bank
for all expenses incurred In developing
work, and they are pounding away like
badgers, simply on their judgment
They do not expect suggestion OF ore
before reaching a depth of 300 feet
and would not feel uneasy II the gooo
stuff should play shy to the LOCO level
And why do these men take chances
such as these? Simply because wha'
other com panies have done In the
suburbs of Bisbee they believe they
can do. The Calumet and Arizona die
the same thing, and has today one o.
the copper wonders to show for 1t, ye'
they never struck splinter before
thousand feet. The Lowell has struck
n as rich IA a cold storage full of ham
