RICH COPPER VALUES

j. w. Burnham, the well-known ND

samples OF tho copper ore that the
Southern Pacific company Is extracting
at this time from Its group few miles
north OF Ogden. This ore Is remarkable
for It's striking beauty, aside from tho
consoling fact that the copper values
contained VIII exceed 80 per cent.
This ore comes from the wizard

RICH DAISY LEASE.
Detch and Brewer Have Fine Property
In Goldflcld District.

GOLDFTELD, July 14.-The strike
recently mado by Detch and Brewer
in the sixty-foot level OF their lease on
the Daisy Is now reliably confirmed,
Last week a party Of prominent mining
engineers and newspaper correspond
ents visited the lease and were allowed
to inspect the lower workings. Enter
ing the shaft they climbed down to the
sixty-foot level and from there passed
through a cross-cut to the north for
g. distance Of $50 feet, where they be-
held small army of miners at work
in their usual routine of breaking down
and sacking ore The ledge was care
fully examined and was found to meas
ure four feet in width, with an ex-
tremely rich pay shoot three feet wide,
which IS said to assay over $4,000 to the
ton, In this shoot of ore the free gold
was plainly visible. All the ore is be-
ing screened and sacked by candle
light under ground.
Passing further TO the north In the
samo drift, they were shown the under
ground ore house, where the treasures
of this mine are being stored for safe
keeping. 1t Is estimated by the super
1ntendent, ], H. Blanchard, that fully
$40, 900 OF gold ore is now stored and
sacked In the mine awaiting shipment
This amount of ore VIII make about
SO'A'
a meagre portion of the vast fortunes
available from the present develop
ment. The leasers are now drifting on
the vein. the entire face of the drift
being In solid ore, and every shot
means added riches to the owners. A
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS hoist Is now on the
ground, and will be placed in position
in a few days.
1t Is difficult at the present time to
estimate what the actual production
VIII be. but based on the present ore
values and the seventeen months time
for which the lease has yet to run. II
is estimated by those who have exam
ined the property that this lease Will
probably net Messrs. Detch and Brewer
over s2.0G0,Ooo. In the opinion OF many
mining men here, this strike is the
most sensational gold discovery that
has ever been made in the Goldfeld
mining district, not excepting the Mo-
hawk, Reilly or other famous bonanzas.

ALBION WORK PROGRESSING.
Company Making Good Headway
Searching for Greeley Contact,

Reports Of tho most encouraging i'm
port continue to come from the prop
erty Of the Albion company, which is
prosecuting a very energetic campaign
OF development work with ultimate
success practically assured, In drlv-
ing ahead on the west crosscut the
company now is cutting q highly min
eralZed formation containing consid-
erable iron and some copper, which
naturally creates great interest as to
what the next few days Will bring
forth,
This crosscut is In a distance Of 14OO
feet, the object for this underground
search being to find the famous Greeley
contact, which, In earlier days, fur
nished the contents OF many rich ship
ments. This vein was 100 feet wide on
the surface, and the Albion company
has every reason TO anticipate some
fine disclosures when the present work
ings have attained the depth planned
The management OF the Albion are
certain that they will unfold the true
possibilities of this Alta proposition
before the end of the present summer
season.

PROFITS ON TALISMAN ORE.

p. B. McKeon, the prominent mine
operator OF Beaver county, will leave

night. During his few days stay In this
city Mr.. McKeon received the smelter
returns from the last car OF ore shipped
by him from the famous Talisman
mine This shipment OF the Talisman's
silver and lead ore gave the company
a net profit OF $40 per ton.
Another car of similar grade of ore
will arrive In the local markets before
the end OF the present month, and the
company is accommodating a comfortable
surplus on their dumps While the
Talisman company has not definitely
decided yet upon any plans Of develop
ment on a large scale In the near fu-

Will soon acquire q steam hoist and

FINE WEEK ENDED
ON LOCAL CHANGE
Records of Previous Season Left
Far Behind for BuSi-
ness Done.

Warm weather always is considered
sufficient excuse for the lack OF that
energy In mining circles which or
dinarily Is productive OF results, and no
more frequent excuse Is offered than
that of the prices OF stock going down
when the sap goes up. DeVotees OF the
mining exchange are prone to object
to tho rate that business is progressing
at the present time, but ii was pointed
out Saturday that II the present rate
of business transacted IN stocks Is dull,
what must it havo boon just one year
ago?
According to the figures given to the
press by Secretary Shorten, 1t Is seen
that the last weeks total number OF
sales was 20S,501 with a market value
of S140, ,125.12. For the same week OIL
last year total OF S3,712 shares was
sold, representing a market Value OF
$23. .9S450. This great Increase SPEAKS
for itself, especially so when 1t Is taken
into consideration that the sales or sat
urday mornings session amounted TO
81. $50 shares. for which the local talent
checked out the sum Of Sl5.54O.
Saturday was a day of unsatisfactory
prices, many stocks heretofore strons
displaying evidences of temporary
weakness. Nevada HIS was one OF the

In defiance Of tho time-worn adage to
the effect that fortune knocks but once
at any mans door. w. NJ. Christian. OF
the well-known firm OF Christian &s
Lloyd, is about to return to the Bristol
region to again enter upon active min

account OF the magnificent successes
they have achieved, their fame has
spread all over the country where min

During the lIfe OF the Christian &
Lloyd lease, a total of 1900 tons was
shipped 10 the Salt Lake markets, ana
the profits of Messrs. Christian ana
Lloyd have been variouSly estimated.
but none have gone below the 100000
mark. The quality of the ore sent to-
market can best be appreciated when
1t Is taken into consideration that the
sum OF $l2 a ton was paid for wagon
haulage alone. Mr.. Christian states
that the property from which this
wealth was extracted Is one of the best
in that rich region. and he Is returning
within tho next few days TO again enter
upon the pleasant task OF taking for
tunes from the rocks.
Large Tonnage Waiting.
1t has been estimated by those ia
miliar with tho district, states MI
Christian, that there are fully 10000
tons of ore on various. dumps that Will
be rushed into the Salt Lake market
just as soon as railroad facilities arc
what they should be. The surveyors
on the branch to Piocho are at work,
and the general impression is that there
will be no delay in extending the line
into the heart OF this wonderful copper
region. Mr.. Christian states that there
IS a vast tonnage available awaiting
transportation that will net the owners
$40 ton.
The surface showings OF the district
are stated as being remarkable, serv-
ing to convince men OF years of eXpo-
rience In mining affairs that Ely will
have no stronger rival for supremacy
as copper producer soon as the rail-
road taps this resource now idle. Mr..
Christian Will make his home In this
city. his family remaining here while
he continues his operations in the
south.
