MINING NEWS
TEST EMPIRE ORES
Adaptability to Value Ex-

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
Empire, March determination and
tests of Empire ores to determine their
adaptabllity to value extraction by cyan
ide treatment has been carried to a point
that confirms the opinion long entertained
by mining men hercabouts that Empire
presents vast and inviting field for that
method. The old problem OF how 20 treat
class of ores, refractory in character, car
rying from IS to So in gold per ton, too
low IN grade 10 bear transportation, is still
awaiting solution in this camp.
Large bodies OF ore Of this character
and value above described have been al
ready uncovered or are known TO exist
and can be rapidly produced when the in
centive Of profit is offered Savings of os
per cent from the low grade product OF
the Gold Bug and an equally good result
from trials Of material from Silver Noun
tain would seem to demonstrate the folly
OF wasting time in further investigations.
Such storehouses of available ore as the
Benton, Rosecrans, Crown Prince, At
lantic, etc. could furnish a Ioo-ton plant
with steady employment from the start
and treble their output with limited addi-
tional development.
The prospects for the early establishment
OF cyanide plant seem good, as the par
ties interested have already secured the
Atlantic mill on Middle Clear creek with
its excellent equipment and water power
and II present plans are consummated
large amount OF hitherto waste product
will be rendered profitable and its values
added to the resources of the camp.

GREAT STRIKE REPORTED
ON THE TETON MOUNTAINS
Claims East Of Victor, Idaho, Are Said
to Assay Very Hieh-Thunoer
Mountain Men There.

Oasis, Idaho, March a6.--There was a
great strike made here late last fall in the
Teton mountains, on Trail creek, six miles
east of the town of Victor. Several asays
lrom as many different claims, run from
SIS to Ss4 per ton in gold. The formation
IS granite and porphyry, the latter carry
ing the lodges which are large and well
dehned, with gold, silver, copper and lead,
the gold predominatng. There also is a
belt OF Tree gold ore running parallel with
this which, according to assays, carries
gold only, values running from $o4o to
5000, and improving with depth. 1t re-
sembles the Homestake ore in the Black
Hills only carrying higher values.
These bodies OF ore seem to be we'll de-
fined by porphyry walls. ] have seen sew
eral specimens of free gold that have been
broken off the groupings of these ledges.
One piece of ore weighing about four
pounds was completely charged with free
gold This mineral belt runs north. east
and southwest, and can be traced for 20
miles in length. The ground anywhere on
the belt will give colors from the grass
roots down. One claim, the Lucky Boy,
has just been bonded for $4,000, $35,-
900 paid down. This is a placer claim.
II. II. Cole and L. Z. Moody, mining ex-
| perts from Boise and Thunder Mountain,
who are here in the interest of their COM
! pany, say the future of the camp will de-
pend on the quartz more than the placers,
and they believe it will develop into one
| OF the greatest gold and copper camps in
the known world. So far there are about
| $50 claims staked off, but no doubt there
will be several thousand by the time the
| snow is gone, which will be about June I.

DOWN At T0N0P All
Mines in Famous District
Are Said to Be in
Great Shape.
TO THE INTER MouyrAry

Virginia City, New, March a6-One Of
ths ,wners Of the famous Lynch O'Meara
mine at Tonopah, and c. s. Mccarthy,
foreman Of the mine, have been spending a
few days in this city awaiting the results
Of batch of ore from that camp which
they are having worked at the Kinkcad
mill. In addition to the Lynch O'Mcara
mine Mr.. Lynch is interested in a number
OF properties in the vicinity of the noted
camp, among the number being the
Nevada-Alpinc mine, situated about 90
miles from Tonopah, and which is proving
very rich. Mr.. Lynch and his partners
purchased the claim last October for
S2sooo and put 10 men to work and are
shipping TO Salt Lake 100000 OF ore per
month, the amount taken out TO date
reaching $Ioo,o 600 clear profit. They are
working through an incline, and have four
ehutcs OF ore. The ledge is large and is
composed OF lead, carbonate and horn sill
ver. Henry Cutting also has claim close
by and has 100000 worth Of ore ready
for shipping.
In Tonopah proper the ore chute in the
Mizpah is 1000 feet in length and very
rich and the Valley View has ore in the
bottom which assays from $50 to $Ioo per
ton. lie says his opinion is that Tonopah
is one large mineral belt and shaft sunk
reasonably close is bound to strike ore
The Lynch-O'Meara company recently
started development work on a claim about
a mile north of the Mizpah, which is now
down 200 feet and they have value in the
bottom and the ore improving. This claim
Is equipped with a gasoline hoist, and de-
velopmcnt work is being vigorously prose
cuted
Mr. Lynch says Tonopah is modern
city, with electric lights and water in all
the houses. There is a great deal of
money in circulation and business is pros
pering, but it is not a good place for
miners to go, as there are more there now
than can find employment. The arrivals
average about 20 a day.
The OhioTonopah and the Mcnamara
claims are likely to prove big, and the
Montana-Tonopah is a crackerjack.
