Prominent Citizen of GOldfeld
Talks About This Famous
Gold District.
MINES ARE MADE
FROM PROSPECTS DAILY
Account Given of Remarkable
Activity in Mines of Rich
Territory.

r. M. Dorsey prominently connected
with the mining life of GoldAeld. arrived
in Salt Lake Thursday en- route to his
former home in Indiana. Mr.. Dorsey
stated TO The Tribune that never before
in the history OF the famous Goldneld
camp have all the conditions for remu-
nerative work been so Ideal as at pres
enJ, There is more ore In sight in the
camp. more ore is being marketed and
moro prospects developing into mines
than any other camp OF like age in the
country.
The big showings being made In tho
Mohawk property has attracted consld-
cradle attention to the district. The
developments upon this ground are slim
ulating leasers and owners Of properties
near by TO extraordinary effort in the
endeavor to strike similar showlngs,
The Mohawk is producing 45O tons OF
ore day; this will average $50 per ton,
meaning a daily output of S27. 900. Four
sets OF leasers are at work upon the
Combination Fraction, located between
the Mohawk and the Florence. and four
electric hoists are being installed with
horsepower from twenty-five TO fifty.
All these leasers are amply able flnan
clally to probe the greatest depths of
their ground. and they Will leave moth
Ing undone to achieve success.
Leasers Are Lucky.
Myers G. Murphy. the pioneer firm OF
Goldheld prospectors, now counted among
the most fortunte operators of the re-
gion, are down 240 feet on the Combl-
nation Fraction, and they are getting
into some very fine ore. The Pierre &c
Pugh lease on the Florence is increas-
ing It's output and the Arnold lease on
the Cornishman is making preparations
to ship ore. Detch & Brewer in their
lease on the Daisy have one of the most
attractive propositions in the district.
They have encountered ore that gave
values as high as 200 ton, and one
car recently marketed contained some
silver and twcntythree ounces gold to
the ton. In the company workings on
the Daisy there is liberal quantity of
ore that will run from S75 to 5000 a
ton.
The Dlamondfeld Consolidated known
In Salt Lake as the Black Butte. says
Mr. Dorsey. of which Frank Ish is presi-
dent, recently made shipment to Salt
Lake which gave returns OF S270 per ton.
This company is blocking out ore look
Ing TO q steady continuation of ship
ments, and the property gives every In
dicatlon of being one OF the best-paylng
OF GoldAeld. The Kendall management
is saving up nm enormous tonnage OF ore
to be fed to tho Kincaid mill, which VIII
soon be ready for operations. And In
this connection Mr.. Dorsey calls atten-
tion to the untold quantity of milling
ore that the district of Goldheld con-
tains which will not begin paying un-
Til the milling facilities are what the
demands warrant, Recently the famous
old Sandstorm has shown up some more
rich ore, but as the management is go
ing to great depths upon this producer
better returns may be looked for later.
All Camps Booming.
The January claim of the Goldneld
Mining Company has disclosed q fine
tonnage Of rich ore, the extent Of which
no one knows positively. 1t Is under
stood, however. that fourteen inches of
the vein recently struck Will run as high
as $4,000 TO the ton. while the eight feet
of the vein proper will go in the vicin-
ity of 5000 a ton, Mr.. Dorsey states that
conditions In the Bulfrog Manhattan,
Falryiew, Wonder and Ramsey districts
warrant the utmost consideration and
admiration, and the coming fall Will wit
ness some remarkable developments In
all these camps. Round Mountain. he
states, Will make one OF the greatest
milling camps in the State, and that this
region can produce high-grade ore as
we'll he proves by displaying some very
rich specimen rock from the Round
Mountain company's ground, upon which
is being built a modern concentrating
plant
