SUCCESS IS HAD
IN CHERRY CREEK
White Pine Company Opening
Up Splendid Resources in
Old Producer.
SALT LAKERS MEETING
WITH SIGNAL SUCCESS
Biscuit Mining Company Also
Making Some Very Fine
Ore Disclosures.

Splendid results are being obtained
by the organization Of prominent
Salt Lake investors, known as
the White Pine Gold Mining and
Milling company, upon their Cherry
Creek possessions In the rcsurrec-
lion period of Nevada s mineral
industry there have been some re.
markable disclosures made when many
former active properties were opened
again to daylight in the Cherry Creek
mining district. Years ago these mines
were being worked for their metallic
values, but the distance from railroad
facilities left nothing for the several
homogeneous but to touch only such
ore bodies as were capable of giving
enormous values per tom
1t can be taken for granted, there
fore, that when An old property is
opened up IN Cherry Creek with rec
ord in former days of over 100000
in production, the owners are sure to
find their possessions ideal in every
particular under the modern facilities
presented to that region. So it is
with the White Pine companv's ground,
and Manager o. Weiscr, who has Just
returned from the property, is more
than enthusiastic over the outlook for
The coming season of development. The
White Pine company is composed of
Senator Frank j. Cannon, A. T.. Hyde,
Jr., Joseph Hyde, John Dorius and O.
Wclscr. The company was recently
organized.
The company owns eleven claims, and
from the extensive nature of the de-
velopment work done upon this group
such conservative gentlemen rs Mr..
Weiser. who is more closely in touch
with the company and property as its
manager, have no hesitation in pro-
nouncing the White Pine ground a
mine of large Dimensions. A coDtinu-
Gus vein crosses the property of the
company averaging IN width from two
10 seven feet on the surface, and while
some very fnc assays can be secured
almost from any part of the vein, the
ofuclalS of the company prefer TO think
of the property as high grade milling
proposition,
A tunnel has been driven into the
heart of the mountain included within
the lines of the company for a distance
of 900 feet. The cropping of the
contact vein has been definitely located
and tins contact viii be tapped by the
tunnel $500 feet farther on. From the
nature of this vein, taken in copnec-
tion with the disclosures throughout
the district, the management has every
reason To expect q magnificent series
OF ore disclosures when this interesting
portion of the group has been reached
In the meantime the tunnel has been
proceeding through ore, and the mill
of the company Will be fed from start
Ing day by ore that will be the result
of development work in this avenue
into the mountain, Manager Welser s
visit TO Salt Lake at this time is for
the purpose of securing such parts for
tins mill as, are required. and stamps
should be dropping within the next
thirty days.
cuit Mining company, came to this
city with Mr.. Weiser with good news
regarding the property over which he
is in charge. The Biscuit company
owns liberal extent Of splendid min
eral ground OF Cherry Creek, and is
composed of the same people as the
White Pine company with the excep-
tiops of Messrs. Weiser and Dorius and
with the addition of P. H. Cannon. Mr..
Williams states that the shaft has been
cleaned out and retimbered to the 500.
foot station, and upon the installation
of the sixty horse power gasoline hoist
now euroute 10 the mine the mauapc-
ment will begin searching heretofore
unsounded depths upon this group. Mr..
Williams states that as the old work
1ngs are treated to bath of sunlight
splendid ore resources are disclosed
which could not be touched in the olden
times, and since his last visit the re-
sources have been added to most lib.
orally.
In the present awakening Of mining
In Cherry Creek the White Pine and the
Biscuit Mining companies have within
their control properties capable Of pro
viding most brilliant history for this
famous Nevada district, and prepare
tions are we'll under way to make both
companies the most active Of the camp
