almost continuous operation since the
first ore was dropped into the crushers,
continues to turn out concentrate pro-
duct from which the NeWhouse Mines

profit, which II Is said, fully comes up to
The expectations of Mr. NeWhouse and
his staff.
Another Big Bonanza.
There are few who realize the lmpor-
lance of the campaign tnat has been
carried on so noiseiessly throughout tia
year by the Frisco Contact Mining COM
pany on the east side of the san Fran
cisco range of mountains, and just IN
the outskirts Of the little town of Frisco.
Here Is being developed one OF the conf
ing bonanza mines of the state at
least that Is the prediction made for It
by engineers who stand at the top notch
IN their profession, and the evidences
are plain that these representations
will come true.
The possibilities of the ground now
embraced In the domains of the Frisco
Contact company were realized a num-
Der OF years ago by ID. L. Rohlilng, the
well known mining engineer of salt
Lake, who had previously made care
ful study of the geological conditions
that prevailed at the Horn Silver mine,
which has record of having produced
millions of dollars and which for years
was the only mine yielding gold, silver,
lead ana copper In all of Beaver county.
lie Located the Faults.
TWAS left to Mr. RohIhng to unravel
the work of nature, 80 to speak, and |
figure cut how the great Horn Silver |
vein had been shifted at the time OF
the tremendous upheaval In that coun-
try ages and ages ago.
Engineers employed by the Horn Sill
Yer company, failed TO pick up the |
missing link In the system of faults |
until II was too late to acquire this |
valuable ground, now owned and OPP
Grated by the Frisco Contact company. !
It was indeed a serious overnight that |
the Horn Silvers engineers made in this |
instance, and no doubt It has been re- |
GREETED many times over, for, under the |
direction of Mr.. Rohlfing, an extension |
of the noted Horn Silver vein has been |
systematically prospected and Is now |
being opened with the chances favor
able for the beginning OF vigorous |
campaign of production.
Horn Silver Zinc Ore.
At the Horn Silver mine the output
OF the metals has been even more ex-
tensve than il was Il year ago The
favorable condition Of the market for
zinc has enabled the management to
move a large tonnage of that class or
ore to the zinc smelters OF Kansas In
addition to the gold, silver and copper
bearing rock forwarded for reduction TO
the shelters OF the Salt Lake valley.
Little was accomplished in the way pt
handling the low grade zinc ores or
which there are many thousands of tons

and separate It from the other metals
on royalty basis.
Development of the Majestic
Some disappointment Is expressed
that the Majestic Copper companys |
properties are not contributing ore u
She snl otter at Milford, which cost
Majestic shareholders quarter OF a
million dollars, But since the Majestic
mines passed into the hands of Samuel
Newhouse, as managing director, il
has been his policy as IT always Is the
case In anything he takes hold o. to
devote whole lot Of energy In SYSTEM
attic development. With the limited
means which remained In the TREASURY
at the time Of the taking over, he has
proceeded cautiously and satisfactory
progress Is reported, The campaign OF
exploration has been centered In the
main at the Old Hickory copper prop
erty and ut the Harrington & Hickory
mine. a producer OF lead ore. In tho
latter, particularly, the response has
been most gratifying and for months
Il has been a prolific source Of revenue.
In the o. X. mine leasers have farei
very well. they having furnished the
market with several carloads OF high I
grade ore.
