FUTURE 10 BRIGHT roR rHns1

(From ThuYsday's Daily.)

Beyond question the future outlook for the mining industry in tho upper Hassa yampa, Mount Union md Crook Canyon districts never looked as bright as 1t does at present." said Lute Will. son, one of the pioneer mining men of that section, to q Journal.Miner man yesterday.
 "within the past year several good properties have been developed that have magnificent showings, and work is being vigorously pushed on many others in which good bodies of orc arc being opened.
 "Work on the Senator tunnel is be. ing rapidly pushed and the management expects to strike another of the series of parallel veins within Q short time. As fast as the tunnel is pushed through one of these great lodges drifting along the vein is commenced and steadily prosecuted, and within n few years the Senator Mountain will be pierced by many miles of underground workings.
 "Littlc short of wonderful is the succcss which has attended the de. velopment of the storm Cloud mine by II. J. Becmer, where an ore shoot sev. eral hundred feet in length has been opened by a tunnel, the paystrcak nv. eraging from three to four feet in thickness, with high grade copper and gold values. This mine is being stead. fly developed through the tunnel and the management is also sinking a shaft on the Ten Spot vein, which passes through the ground, in which good body of high grade ore has been found.
 Another mine of proven merit is the Mount Union Consolidated Mines company's property, farther south, and on the same slope of the range. It is n well known fact that the ore body recently opened in the 600 foot level of the mine averages at least six feet in thickness and Is much richer than the ore mined from the upper levels. This company has started it's mill on n steady run and is again in shnpc to make regular shipments of orc and concentrates.
 "The Nassau Mining company is pushing development work on the Crook group of mines with m energy rarely ever seen in this Territory and before many months the mine will be in shape to produce tons of ore daily. The Crook is among the oldest loca. tions In the district aIsl has n record as n producer in the early days sur. passed by none, for the amount of work done on 1t.
 "A survey for narrow gauge rail. road connecting with the Lynx Creek mouth of the Poland tunnel was re- gently made through the district to Slate Creek, and as far south as the Bodie mine, which has recently been unwatered preparatory 10 the resump. tion of operations there on a large scale. It is the general opinion that work will soon be commenced on the const ruction of this road and perhaps also on the electric line, q survey for which was made few months ago from this city, by the Senator and Cash mines, to Mount Union. In the opinion of miners familiar with the resources of the district the management of these proposed lines would find difficulty in transporting the great tonnage of ore f'om the district if the lines were now in operation, on account of the mum. Der of mines and prospects upop which work would be commenced, provided construction work on the lines would be commenced"
 MT. Wilson is preparing to make n ear load shipment of ore recently mined from his Dead Shot mine on the storm Cloud vein and an extension of the storm Cloud mine, the development of which by Mir. Beemer has surprised the district. This ore samples over s75 to- the ton in gold, silver, lead and copper and was taken from an under. stope from a level run from the shaft which is now 70 feet deep. The pay. streak averages from 20 inches to 8 feet, swelling in places to { feet, being ! wide enough to mine easily without breaking into the waste.
 lie is the owner of five claims, three of which are on parallel ledge to the storm Cloud, the Dead Shot and Jam. ary being extensions of the latter.
