RICHFFIELD, Utah, Oct. 14.--The
Connor property on Gold Mountain is
rapidly jumping to tue front as one
of the wonders of the district. From
the groupings down TO the bottom of a
6fty,foot shaft g. breast of ore four
teen to fifteen feet wide has been open
ed up which carries sensational values.
The entire face of the vein ASSAYS
nearly $3.50, and there is a four.foot
streak IN this vein which goes much
higher, some of it $4,000. Every
piece taken from this streak shows
free gold to the eye. Having deter
mined the dip OF the vein a tunnel
has been started about 500 feet to the
north Of the shaft which will tap the
ledge about 600 feet below the Shaft.
This property adjoins the Sewer Con
solidated on the west side and is iden-
tically the same kind Of proposition
The outcropping is one of those big
quartz lodges which rises from the
ground to the height of several feet
and carries good values all through
The main outcropping on the Connor
is but a few hundred feet from the
big groupings on the Sewer Consoi
dated. This is but one of three veins
which have been located on the Con,
nor ground The other TWO have not
=
yet, but enough to prove good values.
The property was bonded IN June by
Charles Skougaard and he will devel-
op it thoroughly.
Will Erect Mill.
| Alfred Carr, president of the Gold
Mountain Consolidated Mining com
pany, which owns the well~known group
of claims containing the Mammoth and
Breckenridge claims, has returned TO
New York after a close inspection OF
| the property. His visit has satisfied
him that there need no longer be any
hesitsncy about preparing the proper
been sufficiently developed TO estab-
lish their permanency and their good
milling values. The work that is now
being done will make the milling prop
osition an easy aud practicable one
without opening up new ground.
But few rods from the COMPANY
buildings is the mouth of one tunnel
which has followed good big lead of
ore nearly from the portal of the tun-
mel. This alone is sufficient to warrant
q mill. It has been determined that
ground Above this is another vein
which has been opened to some extent
| and this carries even better values
than the one below. The two workings
can easily be connected. Above this
again is another good showing which
can be tapped at great depth through
the lower workings. Mr.. Carr stated
II when he left that the next consider
alton now in the mind of the company
e is mill, and arrangements Will be com
q pleted to that end,
