MAKING A MINE
FROM ALTA GROUP
South Columbus Con. Company
Penetrating Some Very
Rich Copper Ore.
STILL DRIVING FOR
THE MAIN CONTACT
Splendid Showing Is Registered
by Young Company in
Alta District.

Superintendent William Dwyer of
the South Columbus company came in
from Alta Friday, bringing with him
extremely good news regarding, and
some samples of beautiful ore from
this Alta mine. Although less than
one month old this young Alta organi-
zation is assuming splendid proper
tions. and II does not take Mr.. Dwyer 8
enthusiasm TO convince one that this
company is opening a big mne from
the ground under his charge. The
samples of ore brought with him from
this mine contain 2a.S per cent copper,
lS ounces silver and Sl,20 gold,
This rich rock comes from two
foot ore body encountered IN the first
drift TO the east from thc Alta Quincy
tunnel Each foot the management
drives upon this body. ore to the value
or over 500 net Is extracted. Mr..
Dwyer states that he has sixty feet vet
to run this drift before he taps the con
tact, the objective point, and this rich
orc occurring in the fssurc leadino to
the contact leads him TO expect a splcn.
did rich ore body upon reaching the
contact. Mr. Dwyer is naturally de-
lighted with this encouraging develop
ment, and is urging forward the work
with all diligence.
the Alta Quincy tunnel. now in 1900
feet, he has broken into three feet of
milling ore. This orc occurs in the
main contact. and he will follow this
contact to the intersection of numerous
assures, where the ore bodies will make
large and rich. The coming month
of development work along this con-
tact will be productive of very interest
ing and significant results.
President Tony Jacobson of the
Columbus Consolidated company was
the moving spirit of the South
Columbus Consolidated formation, and
be confidently expects the latter TO
open into as big q property as the
former. He states that the Columbus
Consolidated company at this time was
turning up some of the richest ore ever
encountered IN that property On The
3OO.foot level, TO the west of the shaft.
the management has broken into four
feet of orc that runs between 80 and
400 ounces silver, and from 10 20 %
per cent copper. This is an entirely
new resource, and Mr. Jacobson made
no effort to conceal his satisfaction
over the development The Columbus
Consolidated company has succeed ed in
opening up one of Utah S banner mines.
and following its successes other prop
ertles are assuming proportions that
should create most favorable impress
sion of Alta and her resources.

PUMPS FOR HANNAPAH.
Utahns Prepare to Reopen Property
Located in State of Nevada

The Hannapah Mining company, an
organization composed Of prominent
Utah mining men, has purchased
complete pumping equipment for their
possessions. and this machinery is on
its way to the Nevada property for
immediate installation. Work upon the
Hannapah ground had TO be discon-
tinucd some time ago owing to the
water in the workings, depth of 800
feet having been obtained before ac-
tivity was stopped. With the equip

to the depth where the main resources
of the ground are confidently expected
to be, aud the new year will find this
organization we'll in shape for an ac-
tive campaign.
Al the first of the month, the Hanna
pah stockholders met III this city and
determined upon issuing bonds To the
extent Of quarter of million dollars
for the purpose of providing funds for
equipment and development work. 1t
is understood that Samuel Ncwhouse
being one Of the heaviest stockholders
in the company, has taken over these
bonds himself, thus placing even a

JOHN DERN PLEASED
WITH NEVADA CAMP
Regards YeringtOn as Splendid
Copper Region, Holding
Many Big Mines.

President John Dern Of the Consoli-
dated Mercur company, and connected
with many of Utah s successes IN min
ing way, returned Thanksgiving day
to Salt Lake City from the cop
per camp of Yerington, New. This
was Mr.. Dern first trip 10 this
splendid camp in which Sait LAX
ers uniformly have been meeting with
great success, and he stated Friday
that the camp and It's resources I'M
pressed him very favorahly. He Wis.
tied several Of the large properties of
the camp, one of which was the Blue
Stone, operated by Capt. Delamar, and
managed by competent talent. Mr.,
Dern was Informed that the Blue Stone
experiments with the magnetic process
of concentrating ores Ind met with com
pletc success, and that the Captain was
going to erect a large plant at once
for the handling of the splendid re-
sources of the NINE.
Mr., Dern made n careful eXaminA-
tion of the Nevada Douglas property,
property taken over the first of the
year by strong organization OF Salt
Lake and Boston capitalists. The Ne
vada Douglas, states Mr.. Dern, is IN
charge of J. w. Smith, for many years
connected with the Consolidated Mer-
cur. and every opportunity was dloru
ed Mr. Dern to make a complete eX-
animation Of This copper mine. He eX-
pressed himself as being astonlshed at
The size of the orc body uncovered IN
this mine, and from all indications he
believes the Nevada Douglas vii make
one of the greatest copper mines or
the entire West. The formation lndl-
cated 10 him that the ores OF the Ne
vada Douglas would make at great
depth.
Adjoining the Nevada Douglas is the
Ludwig property, and from which, he
was Informed. several ears Of ore each
week are being shipped. whose values
in copper average in the neighborhood
of % per cent. Mr.. Dern states that
from all he could gather, after care
fnl inspection of the district, Icring-
ton will make very large region, for
fine copper values can be found al
most at each turn in the camp. The
properties are in strong hands, consc-
ouently there Will be a very extensive
era of competent development work car
ricd forward from now on. Mr.. Dcrn
was accompanied upon this visit by H.
l.. Dignowity, now of Reno.

WHAT GoLDFIELD IS DOING.
Colonel Dorsey Gives Some Idea Of the
Present Mining Situation.

Col. George w. T.. Dorsey, operating
three properties and as many leases IN
The great camp of Goldhcld, left Friday
afternoon for this district after spend
ing a couple Of days in Salt Lake gath
cring together the needed equipment
for his mines. Colonel Dorsey stated
to The Tribune shortly before his de-
parture that he needed two gasoline
or electrical hoists. the only condition
attached TO his order for the same be
ing immediate delivery When asked
for the latest interesting news from
Guldfcld, the Colonel stated that one of
the most striking incidents connected
with the wear end in the camp was
the fcverish efforts of the many leascrs
whose leases are 10 expire the first of
the year TO take out all the ore posi-
BILE before the closing year.
These lcascrs, states the Colonel, are
working six.hour shifts. and paying
the miners extra wages in order 10 ac-
complsh the greatest amount within
the given time Since last January,
the camp of Goldfeld has more than
doubled in population and Importance,
and today it stands easily as the most
marvellous mining camp in all the
world. During the month of Novcm-
Der the total gold output from Gold
field mines VIII be six millions of dol

every chance for success of making tho
month Of December close upon pro-
duction of seven millions.
Colonel Dorsey was rather reluctant
to discuss the properties in his charge
and his successes in the land of gold,
but that he is satisfied is more than
apparent from his orders for extensive
equipment and supplies here IN Salt
Lake. His mines arc admirably locat-
cd. and in one of his leases he is drlv-
ing for the same orc body from which
some of the richest gold orc ever found
in Nevada is coming at this date 4
shaft upon this lease is in $50 ore at
This time. and with depth of one
more hundred feet he expects to tap
this bonanza of the camp. He stated
that ono of the interesting develop
mcuts during the past few weeks was
the discovery of fine ore four miles
east of Goldhcld. whore for two years
no merit was thought possible. This
strike was made upon the Rochester

THIS LOCAL COMPANY
Manager Reports Making Pro-
gress and PiIing Up Re-
sources Upon Dump.

Bv recent additions of territory, the
Mcdonald Ely company has added con
siderably to the total amount Of the
Elv monZonite zone included within the
lines of this organization. II was
learned Friday that this company bad
secured the Lookout claim, and by max
ing numerous other adjacent additions,
this organization has now the zone for
width of 5000 feet and for a length
of 1900 feet, This rounds out the Nc
Donald Ely property to n nicety, and
gives the company as fine stretch OF
miueralized territory MS could be desired
in this splendid copper camp.
Manager Mcdonald, under whose eye
the company is rushing a vigorous cam
paign Of development, has informed the
local Offices of the company that he is
sending TO Salt Lake some specimens
of the kind of copper ore he is encoun-
teriug in the workings Of the Mcdonald

Wall tunnel are both contributing hb-
eral quantities of copper ore to the
dumps. the tunnel especially giving re-
suits at this time 10 encourage forward
the work
Mr.. Mcdonald. who is one of the
prominent pioneers of Ely, is more than
clated at the manner in which this fine
group is responding TO the efforts of
the company, and he states that every
thing is in shape for beginning earnest
mining on large scale. The company
is preparing to start their own saw
mill, which will obviatc the necessity
Of depending upon any outside source
for their supply of timber, With such
splendid area of the famous Ely min
eralizcd zone, owning 500 acres or more,
the Mcdonald Ely company can not
avoid assuming place in the front
rank Of Ely producers.

Utahna Company Opening Large
and Rich Resources Upon
Their Property.

E. W. Kelly. J. A. Melville and c. C.
DAILY, stockholders in the Utah Mining
company owning and operating a
group of seven claims in the Dugway
district, have returned from this inter
estiug Utah section greatly pleased
with what they found upon their prop
erty, The Utahna group is budding in
TO great big silver, copper and lead
mine, the several months past of de-
vclopment work establishing this fact
to the satisfaction of all who have
examined the property. MIR. Kelly
stated Friday that the main tunnel
would not only serve 10 open the entire
property most thoroughly, but it is so
situated that it can serve IA the main
avenue for the ores to reach the rail
road tracks, which Will be located near
this property.
In driving this tunnel along the mnin
contact, several intersecting assures
have been cut which have not been ex-
plored, but all of which have gwen
some exceptional values in copper, sill
yer and lead wherever tapped by the
working. Within the next 200 feet this
tunnel should tap the main ore body,
which shows so prominently upon the
surface, and when this point is at
tanned the developments will be such
as 10 leave no further doubt regarding
the future of this property, One shaft
has been driven for short distance
upon four-foot body of lcad-sivcr
ore, and this body will also be explored
at great depth by tho tunnel, This
latter working, stated Mr.. Kelly Fri
day, will provide splendid means of
reaching to the farthest corner of the
mine
Adjoining the Utahna group is the
Bryan group, which has been secuyed
by Captain Duncan Mac Vichie and as
sociates.. Adjoining The Utahna upon
the south is the Alice group, and the
showings upon this property so i'm
pressed Mr.. DAILY that he secured this
group without wasting any time in the
process. The whole district, MI Kelly
says, is looking up, there is n great
deal of activity on all sides, and with
the entrance Of the railroad this dis
trict will become one of merit and
great prominence.

FAIR CRITICISED
FROM PULPIT

Betting on horse racing and
Sunday opening at the Interstate
fair was severely criticised yester-
day from the pulpit Of the Pilgrim
Congregational church by Rev. w.
j. Hindley. The minister credited
the fair with being one Of the most
important events of the Inland EN-
pire, but he spared neither the
management nor county and city
authorities for permitting gambling
on the races. The exposition fea-
lures of the fair wer classed as
poor by the speaker, horse racing
in his estimation being the chief
end and aim of the fair. In support
of this Rev. Hindley argued that
of 100000 offered in prizes for the
fair, $4,000 had been devoted to
the races. Drinking places at the
fair were also attacked by Rev.
Hindley as being unnecessary and
menace to the public.
