LIBERAL SIEGEL SHIPMENTS.
Nevada Company Sending Two Cars
Each Week to Local Market.

The Siegel Consolidated company, own
Ing the cream Of the Siegel Mining dis
trict of Nevada, is moving its resources
TO the market at the rate OF two cars
per week. and three cars now are en-
route TO the smelters of the Salt Lake
valley This is the good news brought
in Wednesday by Manager Siegel who
has been spending several days at the
mine. The ore being sent TO this city
from the mine will average between $50
and $40 per ton. and the company has
a vast tonnage ready for extraction.
For some time the management has
been having some trouble in securing
teams to transport the ore from dump
to railroad tracks, and the present ship
ments OF TWO cars each week will be
greatly increased just as soon as the
outfits now In use have been increased.
Manager Siegel states that Currys is the
shipping point at present for the COM
pany. but as soon as the roads have been
improved Cherry Creek Will be the
point used, and this Will cut off fully
twenty-five miles Of the present haul.
The management Is driving along the
vein recently encountered this abso+
lutely virgin resource having width
of fiye feet, and the drift upon 1t has
proceeded for distance OF twenty
Ave feet without meeting with any indi-
cation OF decreasing values or extent Of
the body. Mr.. Siegel is very much
pleased with the conditions at the prop
erty.

RETURNED FROM MINE

Supply Demands of This
Growing District.

II. A. Kearns, one Of the heavy stock
holders in the Jenny property of Gold

tion visit to this Iron county proposi-
tion In which Salt Lakers are inter-
ested. While at the mine Mr.. Kearns
made thorough investigation OF the
great ledge traversing the property. and
which, on the 100-foot level shows n
width OF fifteen feet with only one wall
yet encountered. His Investigations were
moro than productive of satisfactory re-
suits. as their disclosures nre calculated
to establish the mine In the estimation
Of any one who goes over the situa-
tlon.
The highest values obtained In gold
and silver by Mr.. Kearns amounted to
$6S50, and the lowest 1886. This prop
erty, which consists OF eight full claims,
Is rapidly assuming definite shape as a
producer, and 1t Is not unlikely that It
will soon take Its place among the ship
pers Of ore TO the market. Last year
shipment was made for test purposes.
and the values obtained were highly sat

the main ledge, and with the present
fine showings, results now Will come
fast and furious.
In anticipation Of the rush into the
district soon TO occur. there was or
ganized Tuesday In this city the Gold
Springs Mercantile company, and large
stock Of goods has been obtained for this
company, This organization will supply
the properties in this district. and the
demands for supplies following increased
activity In the mines are growing.
