Manager Requa Announces That
Plant Will Repose on
Duck Creek.
M00TED QUESTION IS
DEFINITELY DECIDED
Action Means That Community
of Over Three Thousand
Will Rise Up.

IL was learned Saturday that the all
important and all absorbing decision re-
gardlng the smelter site OF the Nevada
Consolidated company at Ely had been
made definitely, and there can no longer
be doubt or speculation over the placing
of this huge plant. General Manager
NJ l.. Requa OF the Nevada Consolidated
company stated Saturday. upon inquiry
on the part OF Tho Tribune, that the
smelter would not be built at Ely. as had
been thought at first, but at the point
fourteen miles northeast OF Ely, upon
Duck creek, where an additional survey
was made some time ago.
BY swinging Duck creek around to
their proposed smelter site, tho Nevada
Consolidated company has at their dis
posal anywhere from 1900 TO 1900 inches
of water, more than enough for all the
needs Of their enterprise. Visitors from
Ely during the past summer have stated
with unanimity that in case the Nevada
Consolidated erected their smelter upon
the site now definitely selected. there
would be a new town OF from 5000 to
1000 people spring up within the coming
year. The placing OF this plant at the
point decided upon Will also bring sew
eral properties owned by Salt Lake peo
pie within arms length Of the smclter.

SALT LAKERS SCORE
IN CHERRY CREEK
National Mining Company Has
Opened Body Shipping Ore
Oh Property.

Salt Lake talent has again scored
victory in the Cherry Creek country. the
latest successes being achieved by the
National Mining company. which Is op-
Grating a fine group OF properties with
in two miles of the town of Cherry Creek
proper. This organization is composed
exclusively OF Salt Lake mining men and
investors. who have been pursuing
most sdillgent campaign OF development
work upon their Cherry Creek ground
for the past nine months,
The group OF twelve claims owned by
the company was operated years ago
upon shallow levels for its silver and
gold values, lead being present only In
worry small quantities. The early oper-
ators ran a long tunnel into their pos
sessions and at tho 500-foot point In
this working a body Of ore rich In silver
and gold was opened This ore body
was shown TO be twelve feet wide. and
was drifted upon for seventy feet before
work was discontinued,
Some years ago the Salt Lakers com
posing the National company decided TO
sink upon this body. and winze con-
sequently was driven for a distance OF
100 feet, Upon drifting upon the body
just encountered the management has
opened up one OF the finest ore bodies
that could be desired, and word TO this
encct has just been received at the local
Offices OF the National company. Tho
exact extent OF this new body can not be
stated at this time, and the exact values
Will not be obtainable until the samples
already shipped to Salt Lake have boon
assayed In this city. but 1t is considered
q safe estimate TO state that the ore
will run better than $500 per ton.
One significant and encouraging point
J, &c cfptls lie
that the lead values are increasing rap
Idly even with 100 feet OF depth. And
with each unit OF lead the ore gets fifty
ounces OF silver as depth Is reached. The
increased values and extent with depth,
the management feels little doubt re-
garding the future Of this property, and
every energy will be bent TO push fur
ther developments.
The management has just completed
the installation OF a fifteen horsepower
hoist. and in the first week OF Septem-
Der tho company Will begin shipping their
ores TO the local market. II is thought
that a car OF ore per day can be main
tained by the National, thus emphasiz-
Ing strongly the resources OF this prop
erty- The company has every reason to
feel gratiaed at the manner In which the
property is responding to their efforts, as
the National ground was considered a
milling proposition entirely when the
present campaign Of development work
began. Adjoining the National group is
the property OF the Glasgow and Western
company and many other properties
owned or controlled by Utah men aud
money are In that immediate vicinity.
