upon as one of the best cooks in the
! whole region.
In speaking about the future Of Good
| Springs Mr. Yount said:
"The building OF a smelter means q
| lot TO Good Springs. There Is lots OF
ore and plenty 10 keep a large smelter
busy all the while and the only propo-
sitior Is to get the properties open. IL
| the smelter is built the chloriders can
make more than good wages and this
| is something unusual except in the
very best camps.
| 1--WE are bound 20 have a big boom
| and II Is going to be q substantial one,
| because we have the ore to depend
upon There are lots of claims as yet
untaken and there are grand opportu-
mites for men to make their fortunes.
| Where we now have $50 people, I think
| Il would he conservative to estimate
| that we will have 1900 in less than
three months.
Climate Is Fine
"Another advantage that we have
over many places is our climate. There
is never a day i'm the whole year but
that the men can work The hottest
day last summer was 106 degrees, and
It was dry heat that p person did not
feel any Inconvenience from. The
nights are always cool, so that man
can get good rest
THE word capital is the sesame which
promises to unlock this rich region.
Since it has become known that n
smelter will be built conservative COM
panies have begun buying claims
which are partly developed and intend
to put u large force Of men to develop
ing them.
Some of the mines now have hum
dreds of tons of ore lying on the dumps
waiting until smelter shall be built
so that good profit can be realized.
The Campbell estate, of which f. c.
OKelly of Riverside is executor. has
twenty-four patented claims under
high state of development, showing an
enormous amount of smelling ore.
This estate has in the past been big
shipper when. previous to the building
of the Salt Lake road. there was
long haul bv wagons to I'll Paso and
high rates and smelling charges had to
be paid in advance.
Yellow Pine Claims
The Yellow Pine Mining company
has in this district fourteen claims.
on one group of claims, at depth of
65 feet, the miners are working in
shaft by feet of solid ore containing
lead and copper and carry good per
cent of gold and silver.
Miners at the Red Cloud mines are
working at a depth of $50 feet and on
a fourteen-foot ledge of gold ore of
cyanide quality. and the company
has three tanks in operation and is
putting up three more. They have
enough ore blocked out to operate ten
tanks for ten years.
The 1904 group has six claims car
rying gold. silver, copper and lead.
While the shaft is only down 200 feet
and the development is light. these
mines can furnish at the present time
twenty-five tons of good smelling ore
a day.
The Salt Lake company owns several
claims and among them is the Hoodoo
group. This group has today one of
the biggest showings of lead for the
amount of development work ever seer
in a lead mine.
The Keystone consolidated shafts are
down $50 feet and have produced over
a million and a quarter in gold and
are now able to furnish fifty tons a
day at a margin in gold that will be
equal to any production in the state
of Nevada.
The Nevada Copper company has
fourteen claims and it is easily esti-
mated that they can produce twenty
five tons of ore a day. The owners
are now running a tunnel which will
connect with the workings above that
will enable them to double the capacity.
The ore AIKEN from these mines carries
gold, copper and lead.
Mother Lode
The Shenandoah mine is a property
that is peculiarly located, so much so
that ii seems to be the mother lode
1t passes through the property and
beyond doubt in the near future. when
the haul and the expense of hauling
to the smelter shall be greatly less
ened, the owners can rest in easy
chairs and use the western expression,
I'VE are on easy street and the world
is ours"
The Mobile, Copper Chief. Seeley,
Crown, Pioneer and w. e. X, with
tram of 1000 feet, can produce 100 tons
of ore a day.
The Frederick Warde Gold and Cop
per company's property, three miles
from Good Springs. in the last annual
work has been developing sufficient ore
to assure the veteran actor the dream
of his life. The dream to he interested
in paying mine will at last be real
lied.
When the veteran greets the many
to truthfully say: my work is done
and 1 am a part owner of the famous
Frederick Warde Gold and Copper
company's property"
Among others is the Double-Up
group, owned until recently by the
desert veterans, John McClanahan and
James McKennedy. These mines are
record breakers for high grade copper
ore. They produced the richest ship
ment of five carloads ever sent to a
smelter. The shipment carried 72.4 per
cent copper. Last week this property
was purchased by a number of Salt
Lake City men, among whom is Judge
Streeper.
Copper Producer
The 90 group is considered by the old
timers to be one of the best copper
producing properties in the yellow Pine
mining district. From this property
has been shipped ore with a good
profit where the haul was seventy
miles by team and there were two dry
camps on the route. Thence from Man
vel on the Santa Fe to FL Paso, Tex
This property is nine miles from Good
Springs and all down grade haul.
Robinson Bros, ranchers living in
Utah, own ten claims at Good Springs
that are now able to furnish twenty
five tons a day of frst-class ore and
with a development of ninety days can
double the capacity.
