Success of Continental Alta Mines

Among the successful candidates that
have presented themselves in Utah
within the past year for recognition rs
meritorious and well managed mines fs
the Continental Alta mines. owned and
operated by the Continental Mines &
Smelling corporation and located at
Alta, IN the southeast corner Of Salt
Lake county. Although this property
did rot pass into the hands Of the
present management until a few months
ago. and the work of Improvement and
development did not begin until the
middle Of July last yet the progress has
been such that the wonderful perfor-
nance has been accomplished in that
incredibly short time, Of supplying fifty
tons of ore daily from the mines 70 the
smelter IN the valley below. The pro-
duction has been Of a gradual growth
for four months, while the ground was
idle, neglected and out OF repair at
the time it was purchased.
This corporation was recently organ
lied under the laws Of the state of New
York and is capitalized for $1,000 OO0
with offices in New York City and Salt
Lake. Henry NJ. Crowther, the well
known young mining engineer OF Salt
Lake, is president and general manager
Of the corporation. Its object IS TO ac-
quire and operate producing properties
only, or those known to be capable Of
production at the time Of purchase. No
properties are to be taken under bond
or lease. but the payment is to be made
outright. with the title undisputed and
absolute. A limited number of mines
OF this character are TO be secured IN.

country.

can be continued to almost any de-
sired depth. The ore occurs in assures
that are well defined, forming bodies
in the lime, and are nearly half a mile
in length, with a width varying from
twelve inches to forty feet, the aver
age approaching the latter rather than
the former figure. At one place on the
bottom OF a drift the ore body. Of sand
carbonates, is thirty-fiye feet wide,
with the walls extending upward and
outward like the ribs Of a fan. The
result Of many hundreds of samples
taken when the property was pur-
chased as well as subsequent shipping
records, from another place show a
width of thirty feet OF ore, carrying
4.75 per cent copper, ST in gold and
twelve ounces of silver to the ton.
These ores can be marketed in a crude
state at good profit, but by screening
at the mine the values are nearly dOu-
cled. Another body. thirty-tWO feet
wide, yields II per cent lead. sixteen
ounces silver and 81 gold per ton,
which may also be doubled In value
by screening. Many places that show
/ one TO five feet Of ore carry values
of from $25 20 $50 per ton. The oxyda-
ton has been complete but water level
1 has not been reached. which point is
expected to reveal sulphide, or un-
altered ores. The iron in much OF

veins in number. three of which are

Development Of Mine.
When this work was begun a few
months ago the mine was already de-
veloped by five tunnels. numerous IN
raises and drifts, and presented a won
derful showing. The only drawback
was the careless work of Ieasers and
the decay of ladders and tracks. Since
/ beginning work the Continental has
put IN new cars and tracks. cleaned out
most Of the old workings and per-
formed over 1900 feet OF work in tun-

1t has taken many, many years to
accomplish it, but the men and compa-
MES who have pinned their faith to the
Deep Creek mining region, west of the
desert, in Tooele county, have at last
reached the conclusion that railroad
connection with the markets for the
product Of their mines IS in sight. They
have received assurances that the
Western Pacific viii reach the region
named during the coming twelve
months and, as a result, work is being
pushed as never before in all directions,
The Deep Creek country so called,
covers the Ibapah range along the ex-
IRENE western borders Of the state for
a distance of approximately twelve or
fifteen miles wide and forty miles long.
It includes the Clifton, Willow Springs,
Trout Creek Spring Creek and Fish.

Mountain as the most northerly por-
ton and Spring Greek as the most

Work in All Districts.
That more VIII be accomplished dur
ing the coming year than has been ac-
cOmpliehed IN many years is gUuran-
tged by the large amount Of earnest
and telling work now under way in
nearly all Of the districts. The greater
activity exists in the clifton and Spring

cause these are the districts IN which
