Boston Man Impressed With

A. j, Orem Of Boston. whose trip to
the West was taken partially, at least,
for the purpose Of seeing for himself
just what the Nevada Douglas com

sessions, has returned from an inspec-
tlon of this large group. Mr.. Orem
stated Wednesday that he thought be
fore his arrival at the property that
he had some idea of the showing5 that
had been made, but he had everwhelm-
ingly underestimate the real resources
of this ground. The surprise. therefore
was all the greater, and he takes back

Yerington Copper Company's
Ground the Scene of Very
Fine Strike.
ENTIRELY NEW VEIN
SHOWS UP WELL
Find Registered Oh Property
Recently Added to This
Company's Group.

Following close upon the acquisition
by the Yerington Copper company Of
additional territory adjoining their Yer
iugton possessions, comes the news of
some very fine ore disclosures on this
new ground. A telegram was received
ct the local Offices of the company
Wednesday TO the effect that on what
is known as claim No, 10, gray copper
ore has been found in generous quan-
titles. This Is the same vein recently
exposed alongside of claim No. 2, the
latter discovery leading to the pur-
chase of the additional territory. This
new vein gives every promise of be.
coming one of the main sources of
copper wealth of this Salt Lake or
ganization. The vein has been traced
and opened for quite q distance.
The enthusiasm or the local stock
holders in the Yeripgton company can
be accounted for when it is known
that this gray copper ore gives from
cent red metal Being new resource,
and comparing so closely to what the
company has found heretofore upon
the parallel vein, known as the Copper
Ridge vein, the discovery practically
doubles the apparent resources of this
large group. The Copper Ridge vein
Is that from which the management
is extracting some very high grade
copper ore In the course of develop
ment work. These fine values have
been found across five claims practi-
cally, the vein being opened by two
tunnels and numerous other workings.
One recent significant development
upon the Copper Ridge Vein is the en-
coupteriug in tunnel No. !, the deep
est working upon the group at this
time, OF liberal amount of sulphide
ore. While the sulphide zone may lie
thought by those who have inspected
this group that the sulphides are nearer
than anticipated by those IN charge.

New Copper Company Formed by
Prominent Salt Lakers.

Another large mining company has
been perfected in this city by several
we'll known mining men and investors
of Salt Lake, the Arizona-Utah Cop
per company by name. The articles of
incorporation are being prepared and
will be forwarded 10 the proper place
for fling during the next few days.
The capital stock Of the new concern
Is to be 100000 shares of the par
value of 81 and the officers chosen for
the ensuing year are; President, w.
n. Jones; vice president. s. S Pond !;
secretary and treasurer, II. c. Weaver;
who, with George B. Weaver, J. T.
Harding, Fl. n. Cornforth and Will
liam II. TibbaJs constitute the board
of directors,
The basis for the organization will
be the Exchange group of five claims,
situated near Jerome, Ariz., and upon
which is exposed an exceptionally fine
showing of copper ore. Considerable
work has already been done on the
property; which is not to exceed FIVE
miles from custom smelter and
which can be reached by q railroad
built across the Arizona-Utah com
pany's ground Samples Of ore were
sent TO this city, the collection being
taken from numerous openings on the
property, and ASSAYS show the presence
of from TO 20 per cent copper, from
oo cents to SIS IN gold and some silver.

tcrcsts are understood TO have sold Feb
ruary copper some time ago ut 1880.
1t would be impossible to secure much
of the metal for delivery before the
second month in the new year from

Consumers fully realize the situation
now as truly legitimate and the prob
ability of highpriced copper for the

prompted them to cndeavor TO secure
supplies for delivery as far ahead as
July. This is the case with both lake

however, to contract So far ahead aud
