Thoroughly Equipped Company
Is Reaping Benefits From
Work Well Done.

General Manager II. l.. Siegel Of tho
Slegel Consolidated Mining company
left Thursday evening for tho property
In Nevada. The Siegel Consolidated
company has been pursuing remarka-
BILE course of development upon their
Nevada possessions, and about whicn
scarcely q word has been allowed TO
reach the public ear. The organiza-
ton Is composed entirely OF Eastern
capitalists. and during the last three
years the properties within their boun-
Diary lines have been going through
severe course of development, and dur
ing this period the company has been
q regular contributor of ore to the
Salt Lake SmelterS>
Brnvcd Long Haul.
The Siegel company owns about
thirty claims located twenty-five miles
due east from Cherry Greek. the char
acter OF the ground demanding deyel-
opment by means of tunnels entirely.
Up to the present time there are seven
tunnels in all, the longest being in
distance OF $50 feet The nature Of the
ore, which appears in liberal quanti-
ties in all the workings OF the COM
pany, Is a silver-manganeSe, and there
are few properties in the West that
produce similar ore OF richer quality.
This fact is emphasized more by the
fact that for three years the manage
ment has been hauling their product
for a distance of l35 miles before they
could obtain railroad transportation.
With the completion of the Nevada
Northern road, however, the transpor-
tation problem Will h< solved, and ae
the present time the company freights
their ores to Curries which Is not far
distant from the mine.
Large Monthly Production.
Manager Siegel states that the COM
pany at the present time is moving at
the rate OF $4,000 net a month, and
upon the dumps of the property are In
the neighborhood of 2000 tons of ore or
characteristic richness. Mr.. Siegel Is
making efforts to secure fifty outfits,
each from four to Six-horse teams, to
haul this ore to the market and to take
care OF the fine tonnage the manage
E1ent is constantly extracting. The
company expects to total their output
this year TO $l60, 900, and the character
OF the resources and improving trans
portation facilities are combining to
greatly simplify the problems confront
ing the management.
Never Had n Boom.
The Siegel district never has had q
boom. although the nature of the orc
resources and extent of territory to be
covered have always presented greal
inducements for the inquisitive mind.
The company has been pegging away
without any ostentation, and is now
at the stage where results are being
reached. An instance OF the thorough
manner in which this organization is
proceeding Is the fact that the COM
pany owns nearby ranch Of $50 acres,
upon which practically all the supplies
for the large force OF men employed
at the mine are raised. The water sup
ply from this ranch leaves nothing to
be solved In that line
LEY Humphries OF the John Hays
Hammond staff OF experts, who ie the
consulting engineer for the Siegel Con-
solidated, is In Salt Lake at the present
time. Mr.. Siegel will be absent for
over a week.
