Reports from Alta are to the effect that
snow is piling up rapidly and that travel
above tho town has been practically cut
off for a day or two. Teams have been

Lyon County CNev) Times: When the
Ludwig copper mine begins pumping Op-
eratiOns next summer there will be a
chance to sell the company considerable
scrap iron. The water In the lower level
Of the mine is highly impregnated with
copper running as nigh as thirty-fiYe
pounds TO the ton. To precjpitate the
nTr in is NO raV~ iron wi n
required and considerable Of il. Some
body can make a stake by gathering up
the scrap iron around the community now
and holding 1t to sell to the company

After some delay Manager VIII J.
Lawrence Of the Advance company's
properties. below Phoebe stated yester-
day that the car OF ore recently shipped
from the mine had been sampled. As
SAWS of the controls We're being gotten
out during the day and the first one
showed S2J.65 in gold and an even thirty
ounces IN silver per ton. The copper re-
turns were not out, but Mr.. Lawrence
said the ore would carry about 2b to 8
per cent Of that metal. Thus the ore Is
seen 10 have "A value Of something over
$40 per ton, value that insures a most
handsome profit to the company after
all expenses of shipping, sampling, assay
ing and smelling are deducted.
Development work on the Dyer copper
property, under bond to the Mason Val
ley Copper company of Salt Lake, Is pro-
crossing in a very satisfactory manner
and the showing Of ore Is good. says the
Lyon County New Times. The char
acter of ore is a black oxide and shows
very good values and indications OF per
manency. In the Dewey tunnel at a dis
lance of l75 feet winze is being sunk
on a recently encountered vein of ore.
At this point in the tunnel the depth
| below the surface IS about eighty-five
feet. From the showing now made in
the property there is every reason to be-
heve that the parties who have the bond
will take over the property when their
time expires, which win be in about sixty
days from the first of the year.
