West Report

The report OF the Daly-West mine In
Utah, given on another page, says an
editorial writer In the Engineering &
Mining Journal. shows that its output
Of silver was i,3S2,22S ounces In 1903;
making II the most important mine I'm
the United states now worked for its
silver values chiefly, II Is not the larg-
est silver producer, that distinction be-
longing to the Anaconda mine In Mon
tana, In which, however the copper
has the predominating value. In 1898
the Anaconda produced 6,1Q6,377 ounces
Of silver; since that year we have no
means Of ascertaining its exact output,
though il has probably decreased
slightly. The entire production of the
Occur d'Alene district, In Idaho, last
year, was 100000 ounces OF silver, or
only about million ounces more than
that OF the Daly-West. In addition to
their silver, the ores produces by this
mine last year contained 3iR, 103
pounds OF lead, 22,573,S55 pounds OF zinc
and 4,S22,22 pounds Of copper; lead be-
Ing the chief base metal content. The
silver was accompanied by S,lOb ounces
OF gold, The Anaconda silver product,
ms given above. was obtained In connec-
ton with lS50O2,lF pounds of copper
and 1870 ounces Of gold. The report
shows that the Daly-West Is entitled 70

There Are Good Reasons to Believe
That Something Important
Will Happen,
AT The GUFFEY.GALEY WELL.
Movements Of Supt. Rumbaugh - Oil
Sands Have Been Encountered

There Is every reason to believe that
Salt Lake City is ON the eve Of great
oil boom. The movements OF Superin-
tendent Rumbaugh at the Guffey- Galley
wells near Pennington, while he Is do
ing his best to arrest suspicion, indi-
cate that he believes he is getting very
close TO the point where "gusher"

In the development Of the oil fields OF

lively that the drills at the Guffey-
Galley well had penetrated the sands
which bear every Indication OF petro-
leum; the Identical sands were charac-
terlstc OF the Beaumont fields.
When Superintendent Rumbaugh
closed the well at Pennington last week
he IL said TO have ordered so feet OF
additional eight-Inch piping Why he
should order such little amount Is

that judgments now against the COM

There never was time In the history

outlook for every branch OF business
looked more encouraging than at the
present time This Is especially true
OF the mining interests Of the La Sal
region, which at the present time Is
beginning to show signs OF substan-
tlal advancement from all quarters,

what may be termed spasmodic
boom. or one based upon superstition
or guess-wOTk, but by actual prepara-
ton and disposition on the part of
miners and the mine owners 10 get
down to active development and ore
production.
Very few know, or are In a position
10 realize the Importance OF the In
terest that Is being created on the out
side by the discovery Of the rare min
erals In this country, This Will un-
doubtedy create new interest In min

OF greater activity than has ever been

It will come by gradual and substan-

said recently, with friend of mine,
missionary. This missionary told
me how he once asked a Dakota ia
vern-keeper for a subscription towards
a Sunday school. There was no Sum
day school In that nelghborhood, and
the missionary laid before the tavern
Keeper a number Of strong arguments.
THE man listened In silence. He
thought awhile. Then he gave to the
missionary a ten-dollar bill.
Goodness knows, he said we are
wicked enough around here, and II any
thing can be done to raise the price of
land, I'm In for it,
