The shaft on this claim was sunk tn a

UNCLE SAM MINE
OPENING UP BIG
Rich Ore in Humbug Workings
Being Followed North
and South.

Superintendent C.. c. Griggs of the
Uncle Sam Consolidated advised General
Manager John Dern over the telephone at
noon yesterday that mine conditions were
better than he had ever known them at
the property. In the Humbug workings
he now has a fine body of rich ore in
the south drift and another in the drift
from the raise that was made to connect
with the ledge or fissure running north
toward the Yankee. Mr.. Griggs promises
that he will now make a showing in the
Humbug workings that will relieve all
fear as to what the future has in store
for that portion of the mine.
Mr.. Dern was asked if the Uncle Sam
would be in shape to resume dividens next
month and he replied that he could not
promise that, but judging from the re-
ports of the superintendent, he felt juSti-
fled in saying that resumption might De
looked for in July. During the past sew
eral months a great deal of dead work
has been done In the mine and the ex-
penses have been heavy. 1t is considered
make money again and, as the ledge in
the Humbug is a big one, everything
points to the property's behaving in a SIM
liar manner to its rich neighbor. the Beck
Tunnel property. 1t is known that a ire
mendous body of rich ore is ahead of the
miners working toward the Yankee and
now that the same fissure is proving
equally as strong and rich in the opposite
direction, production will be heavy before
the month of June is very old.

At present the graders are making a
long fill on the Barton ranch. When that

EASTERN TALENT Is
AFTER THE JENNIE

Modena, Utah, May 2s-J. c. O'Neill of
Chicago, representing eastern capitalists,
passed through here yesterday, home
ward bound, from an inspection of the
Jennie mine and Gold Springs district. Mr..
O'Neiu was warm in praise of the won
derful showing made by the Jennie, and
the district in general. 1t is understood
that he asked the Jennie company to
name a figure that the property could be
purchased for, to submit to his people.
The Dispatcher group of claims, six
miles west of Modena, is still undergoing
examination, and during the past three
or four days surface sampiing has dis
closed fine values. Assays going several
hundred dollars in gold per ton being had
Today a party of Modenaites drove to the
property and located four claims, that
carry the extension of the Big Mogul,
where some of the best values have been
found.
Charles A. Short of the Jennie com
pany is negotiating for certain properties
on Rice mountain at Stateline.
Some very fine ore from the Finance
Mining company's ground, near Gold
Buttes. New, has been exhibited here dur
ing the past two days. Work on the prop
erty is going ahead nicely and the eager
ness shown by those conversant with the
property to get more stock speaks well for
the mine.

MASON VALLEYS
BIG BANK ACCOUNT

William B. Thompson, who is associated
with George E. Gum and other big OPP
orators of the west in many Utah and
Nevada propositions, was in Boston four
or five days ago on his way back to New
York from a several weeks trip into this
region Among other propositions with
which he is prominently identified is the
Mason Valley Copper company. Concern
ing the proposition he is quoted as saying
'-On the surface of the Mason Valley
property we have a fine showing of car
Donate ore. At 100 feet the ore is a sui
phide and runs about 8 per cent copper.
From the tunnel we have tappei the vein
at depth of $50 feet and have cross-cut
over sixty feet of ore, thiFty-nine feet of
which will run 5.4 per cent copper and the
balance over per cent copper. We have
drifted about fifty feet on the vein in
copper running over 5 per cent.
While there has been nothing startling
In the development of this property to
date. I believe there are very promising
possibilities in connection with it when we
have attained great development. The
Mason Valley company has 10000 shares
outstanding and 50, 600 in the treasury"

Mines and Mining Stocks
MINING STOCK EXCHANGE
Considerable Real Trading Charac-
terizes the Days Business.

Business was quite lively on the mining
exchange yesterday and there was un-
mistakable evidence of real buying and
selling orders. During the two regular
and open board calls total of 1854
shares of stock, with a selling value OF
S53677.95, changed hands. Beck Tunnel
was sold heavily at a decline of few
cents share on prospect that the June
dividend would be passed. Some thirty
carloads of ore remain at the smelter
yards unsettled for as a result of the re-
cent labor troubles but il the pay for this
is forthcoming in time, 1t comes from an
authoritative source, the usual distribution
will be made. As the directors do not
meet until the 10th, there is plenty OF time
and the chances are altogether in favor
of the dividend being paid Uncle Sam,
Lower Mammoth, Daly-Judge and Wa
bash were also quite lively, and while
prices were rather unsteady, there was
so much evidence of real buying that it
is not believed the market in them will
suffer much.
Following is the list of final quotations
and record of sales made during the day:

HANNAPAH MINE is
DOWN TO BUSINESS AGAIN

After sixty days of pumping and the
cleaning out OF caVed ground in the Han
napah company's ground, at Hannapah,
New. Superintendent Frank b. Work
writes the local offices under GATE of the
sd that he has things in good shape
again for the development of the mine.
In cleaning up the drift the 30O-foot
level Mr.. Work reports that considerable
ruby silver ore was taken out with the
debris and he is now sanguins that the
property is going to make fine show
ing: The shaft is in splendid condition
and the amount of water that makes in
the mine is not enough to cause any in
convenience or trouble in handling. When
the new and powerful hosting works
We're Installed the precaution was taken
to equip the mine with pumping plant
that would handle several times as much
water as ii was considered possible for
the mine to make, so there IS no POSSIBLE
lty of trouble from that source any more.
Those interested in the property will re-
member that in the old workings of the
mine a depth of 200 feet was attained
in the prospecting shaft and the showing
made was such that it was determined
to properly equip the mine and sink per-
manent operating shaft at a point some
distance from the original workings and
outside of the vein. This new shaft was
sunk to a depth of 800 feet and a cross
cut was run to the ledge. This was pros
Dected but a short distance when the
water came in faster than the small
pumping plant and Inadequate steam
making capacity Of the small boiler would
take care of and the mine was Hooded.
Some exceedingly rich ore was taken
from the old prospect workings and when
the objective point is gained in the new
shaft workings it is expected that some
sensational bodies of ore will be uncov
cred Drifting will now be prosecuted
with vigor and results may be looked for
in the near future.
The Hannapah mines are located about
eighteen miles from Tonopah in an east
erly direction and southeast of Ryepatch.
The ore values are largely silver. with
some gold and the ledge is so regular and
well defined that it gives every assurance
of making big and rich mine.
