Mohave County miner., 1903-02-21

ONhs - SoShCA AOA dbo =
the first four days of this week and
from the last six feet opened up $50
sacks have been secured. In appear
ance the ore resembles that which the
Fraction produces, but it exceeds it
in values. Eight assay certificates
shown the Miner give returns of 352S,
5SSs, 537s, 446s, 1928, 3sOs, 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
by the heat to which they had been
subjected. 1t is the intention of the
company, at this depth, to establish a
station and drive drifts east and west,
thereby thoroughly prospecting the
ledge just opened up. Sinking, how
ever, will go right on, and will be con-
tinued till a depth of loco feet is
reached.
The fame of Park City is widespread
but few are familiar with the actual
accom- piishments of this remarkable
district, and its individual mines. The
Ontario has paid in dividends no less
IA, 49,, ,50Os. The Silver King has paid
3,l50,0J0S. The DAILY has paid 1925, ,000S.
The Daly-West has paid 1857, ,OOOS. The
Quincy has paid l,05O,OO0S. The Cres-
cent has paid 2S0,OOOs. 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 flssure and of great size,
growing larger aud stronger with depth.
The Ontario has been operated since
1872 and has produced over 80, 1000, ,oooS
The larger properties all have tremen-
dous reserves blocked out ahead of
production and new reserves are con
tinually being added. The Ontario
tunnel, which is an extension of the
300 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 and show plainly the
foundation for the true and oft repeat
ed sentiment.-Daily Record.
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,
and has gathered in standard group
of some fourteen claims, close in on
what is 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 a dixie, not a blowout, not
hat full of float. In the estimation of
a Hsssayamper, who has a chronic
predilection for being showed" there
are no more indications of a mine in
that group then there are in a New
England graveyard, yet on the 18th
day of October, 1902, on spot that has
not the slightest suggestion of any
thing better than limestone, and half
a mile away from anything better, the
company stuck their first pick in the
ground, and now they have an Office,
boarding house, bunk house, store
room, blacksmith shj jp, three resi-
dences, and a dozen more going up.
They have a two and one-h half COM
partment shaft down forty feet, with
collar. frame and windlass. They have
ten carloads of building and mining
timber on the ground. They have a
hoist engine of 400 feet capacity at
Don Luis, one fourth of a mile away,
and have ordered another of 1900 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 a suggestion of ore
before reaching a depth of 500 feet,
and would not feel uneasy if the good
stuff should play shy to the 900 level.
And why do these men take chances
such as these? Simply because what
other companies have done in the
suburbs of Bisbee they believe they
can do. The Calumet and Arizona did
the same thing, and has today one of
the copper wonders to show for it, yet
they never struck splinter before a
thousand feet. The Lowell has struck
