WORD FROM MASON VALLEY.
Salt Laker Writes of What Is GOING
on in New Copper Camp.

A letter from Captain o. a Tibbits.
VINO is now at the properties of the
Mason Valley company. advises some
of his associates here that the cam
paign of development has been COM
menced under most favorable condi-
tons. AT one point where Expert
George Gum recommended the driving
of a tunnel. and where the surface
showing was not nearly as good as if
was at other points along the zone
chalcopyrite and red oxide ores are
coming in at a rate that insures the
opening Of a tremendous body of rich
ore. The captain speaks most enthu-
siastically of the showing and makes
no secret of his belief that one of the
biggest copper mines on the coast is
sure to result from the plan of cam
paign that has been inaugurated.
Captain Tibbits also states that the
district is now attracting a great deal
Of attention from the outside. One new
company has just been organized and
mining men are going into camp every
day The Bluestone company is build
ing a mill and the well known Douglas
property is looking better than ever
It is swapping all the teams that can
be secured with ore and it would have
no trouble in keeping a long string of
them on the road.

STEAM SHOVELS
FOR BOSTON CON.
Their Adaptability and Usefulness
Fully Determined.
DIVIDENDS Fob JULY MONTH
UTAH MINES PAY SHAREHOLD-
ERS S1,14O,O 900.

There is no longer a shadow of doubt
that the steam shovel is to play an
important part i'm the economic plans
being devised for the mining of the
low grade ores of Bingham, at least
so far as the Boston Consolidated COM
pany is concerned. The matter was
definitely determined as the result of
Investigations that have just been con-
cluded by Samuel NewhOuse's general
manager, Lafayette HanChett. Accom-
panied by Louis :. Gates. superinten-
dent Of the Boston Consolidated mines,
he went over to Sunrise WyO. the other
day for the purpose of seeing the ma
chimes in operation and learning what
they We're doing at the iron mines of
the Colorado Fuel & Iron company,
where 1000 men are at work and where
$4,000 tons of iron ore is being shipped
weekly the output being restricted
only by the capacity of the railroad to
supply the cars and handle the trains
after they are loaded.
There is no question but what the
steam shovel is just the thing for the
work we shall have I'm hand when the
mining Of the experimenting poTphy-
ries in quantity is begun. I was a lit
tie Skeptical as to what the machines
could be depended upOn to do where
hard work was being handIad. but I
am ready to admit that the investiga-
ton he removed every doubt. The iron
ore in the Sunrise mines all has to be
blasted out and it is certain that the
Bingham pOrphyries can be handled
as rapidly as are the iron ores in the
Wyoming mines. where two steam
shoVels, Il large and u smaller one. are
employed These two machines, work
ing about one-fOUrth OF the mine han
dies and loads ali the ore that are can
be- secured for. which amounts to
about $4,000 tons per week
y heavy rain and cioud-burst at the
mines just before we landed there filled
the pit ID which the larger machine
was installed So we were able to see
only the smaller one in action. It loads
standard gauge car at an average
speed of five minutes and we are told
that the large machine would do the
same work in two to three minutes
time When a person can see a crew
of ten men and one machine loading
cars at the rate Of 800 to 500 tons an
hour, results are staring him in the
face that command respect. 1 can
now say with certainty that the steam
shovel viii be employed at the Boston
Consolidated mine"
Every detail of the problem of econ
ouN as il viii relate to the mining
transportation ana reduction of the
copper pOrphyries OF the Boston Con-
solidated company is being thoroughly
probed and figured out by Mr. Ham
chett and. while he is unwilling TO be
quoted as to detail. he states that he

Jack at the first favorable emporium

back at the first favorable opportun-
ity
At White Horse. Mr.. Brunton says,
some remarkably fine copper proper
ties are being developed, while i'm the
far interior many substantiss; evidences
OF prosperity and successful mining
ventures were found. 1T is a mistake to
think that there is nothing in that
country but placer mining. Remark
ably fine lodges are being discoveSSd
and operated all through the region
formerly held valuable only for it's
placer deposits. though the latter class
Of mining is not on Nhe decline by any
means Great dredges are now being
successfully operated at two or three
points and he has no doubt that many
more machines will be soon introduced
INTO the country. There are numerous
naVlgable streams that empty into the
Yukon and on some of them operations
are being conducted hundreds of miles
farther inland than would have seemed
possible few years ago.
AT this season of the year, Mr.. Brun-
ton says. it is veritable pleasure to
