Barely Scratched.
KElTH-KEARNS COMPANY
is ONE OF THE C0MERS

Although it is still i'm its infancy and
small potato as compared with its
big kinsman adjoining it, the Keith
Kearns is what would be known in the
trotting world as q conner. 1t is next
to the Silver King and i'm the vernacu-
lar of the day it is next to this Won
derful thing among mines in more ways
than was intended to convey in the
dictionary which Webster wrote with
out any contortions of photography,
The Keith-Kearns Mining company is
only three years old or whereabouts,
but it is a pretty lusty youngster al
ready and there are indications that if
things continue to roll along as easily
for a few more months as they have
done recently there will be returns from
the mine which will make the stock
holders sit up and take notice.
Will Make Mark.
All kinds of predictions are made for
the future of the mine by all kinds of
enthusiasts, but the most conservative
of those who venture to look into the
dim distant future are assured that the
Keith-Kearns company will make a
deep mark on the mining world before
very long and this mark will closely re-
semble the brand of fabulous wealth
Wnicn the SllNSI hiilS. It's OiS nCA6hOOls
has left impressed on the financial
centers of the world
Despite the close-down of the mine,
which occurred last month because of
the scarcity OF fuel in the camp, the
prospects of results from the property
are not as far distant as might be i'm
agined because of these set-backs
which have been experienced
In fact, there is every prospect that
there will be things doing in this prop
ertv before there is another year re-
corded on the roll of time. The man.
agement of the property has the utmost
confidence in the possibilities of the
property. and when the men who are
behind this mine set their minds on a
thing there has got to come out of it
all there is in it or else it has been
conclusively proved for all time that
the thing is real dead nne and is left
alone by all wise persons in the min
ing business.

Exploiting Property.

There is nothing being left undone
to exploit the possibilities of this prop
erty, and campaign of development
such as has seldom been attempted in
this or any other camp for comprehen-
siveness has been inaugurated and will
be pursued to the end.
Shafts and tunnels have been sunk
and driven on the property with view
of getting into the heart of the ore
bearing lodges at once, and there will
be no time lost in opening up what
ever there is of worth in the mine.

VALLEY COPPER
49, COMPANY Is A BIG ONE

Mines, like persons, are judged a
great deal on the company they keep.
If they are in the right kind of hands.

known to be the safest and soundest
business men in the mining world, then
there is a reputation which goes a good
way toward being guarantee that
there will be something come out of the
proposition and at least square deal
is assured.
Such IS the case with the Mason VAL
ley Copper Mining company. The prop
critics of the company are situated in
the Mason valley district at the rich
camp of Yerington in Nevada, and the
experts who have examined the prop
erty have made reports which are cal
culated to make the rest of the camp
sit up and take notice IL they had an
inkling of what they We're.
Has Vast Area.
The company has $50 acres of prop
erty in the. district, and there are 5000
feet of a vein which runs with high
ore. There are 100000 shares of the
company. which is Utah corporation.
The president of the company is w.
Mont Ferry, the well known mining
man OF this city, who has the conf
dence of his associates. and who has
been connected with as many success
full deals in this part of the country as
any of the set of young brilliant min
ing men who are making things go in
these parts.
Joseph L. Lippman is vice president
of the company and Frank Judge is
secretary.
Working Year.
The company has been working the
property for more than a year, and the
results which have been obtained are
more than satisfactory to those who
have confidence in the property since
the new company took hold of the af-
fairs.
The original mine, which was worked
years ago, was known as the Spragg
mine. from which 1900 tons of ore,
high-grade carbonates, were shipped.
This ore was the wonder of the camp
at the time of the working by the old
company. The ore showed an average
OF - per cent, and this was continual
for several years.
Able Management.
Under the able management of the
company which now has the control of
the property, the work of development
has been pushed forward rapidly, and
a systematic campaign has been car
ried on. The sulphides have now been
cut at a depth of more than 800 feet

this portion of the mine show per cent
and better, and there is conservative
estimates that before there has been
much more of -this sulphide cut there
will be even greater showing than has
come to light in the comparatively
operating the mine
The ore body has been penetrated for
more than nine feet already, and the
company is still in good ore. The esti-
mates, of the width. of.,this high grade
ore which it is expected to encounter
before much more work is done on the
property, place the ore at very large
percentages.
One Hundred-Foot Ore Body.
On the 150-foot level the company
went through 100 feet of sulphides,
which averaged better than. 81 per
cent 'a-.-s''c r.s
In the lower tunnel the company has
cut this same body of ore, but it has
shown UP thus far to be wider and
tered on the 150-foot level for more
than 100 feet
That there will be big returns from
the mine within few months there is
no doubt in the minds of those who
have been in a position to know the
great possibilities in this property.
With the careful and conservative
management which now has charge of
the operations of the company it is ex-
pected that there will be an even great
er and richer showing of ore which is
of the very best to be found in this
camp.
Wonderful Results.
That there are wonderful results to
be obtained from the mines in Yering-
ton, there is not the slightest doubt,
and the conservative estimates of min
ing men whose opinion is respected by
those who are seeking investments in
this part of the country are sufficient
guarantee that there is a future before
the camp that will surpass the predic-
lions which were made for it years ago
by those who first scratched the WON
derfuI resources of the district
The control of the stock in the Mason
Valley company is held under an option
eby George E, Gum and his associates
in the mining business, who reside in
New York.
That there are big things on foot for
the future of the company is evidenced
by the fact that MIR. Gum is now in
New York making arrangements for
the reorganization of the company.
After these negotiations are COM
pleted it is said that the. new company
will go on with the development of the
property on a larger scale.

usual of development ahead of produc-
ton, OF the very complete equipment

reserve kept by every well-manageG
ana prosperous mining corporation.
The influence the. Silver King exerts

Its Owners.
Principal owners of the Silver King
stock are David Keith and former
United States Senator Thomas Kearns.
Their Identification with the property
began with its discovery by the latter,
and they have steadfastly controlled its
destinies, disregarding undoubtedly
many fiattering offers from outsiders
who desired it, and who would have
likely carried out of Utah the principal
earnings had possession been passed to
them.
In this respect these two wealthy
men-rising from modest positions in
Hfe-have chosen to take a course op-
posite to the generality of men upon
whom the mantle of big productive
mine ownership had fallen in many
other states, and who sold out their
properties and spent their wealth in
other communities, or chose to live
elsewhere than the vicinities OF the
mine and confer the blessings of
their large incomes upon localities re-
mote from the points of wealth pro-
duction.
Benefits City.
AS owners of the Silver King Messrs.
Kearns and Keith have been enabled to
do much toward the advancement Of
the states interests i'll every way. ami
seldom have they let an opportunity
pass where they perceived their influ-
ence could be exerted for the better
ment of the conditions of the common
wealth or the development % new ave
nues for the creation of wealth out of
undeveloped resources.
Therefore the city of Salt Lake has
been the recipient of large beneficence
from these sources. direct from the
owners OF the Silver King. and the city
also has profited largely indirectly
through the existence of the Silver
King at Park City.
The discovery Of this mine led to the
development of many big mines in that
vicinity.
Barely Scratched.
The Park City camp is distinctly re-
garded as point where the mineral re-
1urces arr as yet but barely scratched,
ipd capital can find splendid opportuni-
ties there for development operations
that are likely to be fraUght with eX-
ceedingly satisfactory results.
The year 1906 has witnessed a multi
tude of these newer projects. BY pick
ing up the scattered claims. and groups
thereof. there has been much prepare
ton made for future work which Is
looked upon as destined to make PARK
City bigger than over as mining camp
within a few more years.
