On Tuesday regained their lost ground

quickly jumped to $50, and Crown Point,

PREPARING FOR BUSINESS
AT THE GlROUX MINES

Ely, July 10.-The Giroux mine is the
center of great activity. The new con-
centrator is nearly finished. The car
penter work has been completed and the
machinery is now being installed and as
soon as it is placed the wOrkmen will
proceed with the final arrangements. The
track has been laid from the concentration
to the shaft and a little one-fourth en-
gauge road. The engine has been named
the Alpha, probably after the shaft of
that name. The rails and ties have been
hauled up to the mine and will soon be
laid
An electric plant is to be installed at
the plant and electricity will be supplied
for lighting and power purposes. A large
COrliss engine will run the generator, the
boilers of which have been hauled up to
the site. 1t was a difficult job to get the
big boilers up there
The camp is going to put in an electric
pump-the first to be installed in the
camp. This pump will be used to re-
move the water from the shafts and will
be quite an addition to the plant. 1t is
of very high efficiency-S5 per cent-ordi-
nary pumps running about 20 per cent.
The large drum for the hosting engine
has been landed on the ground after con-
siderable trouble in getting it there. 1t

last winter and not until recently were
they able to haul it over the roads. Two
wagons were broken during the trip, and

double drum on each wagon they man
aged to reach the mine. The drum weighs
$1,000 pounds and it took ten horses to
move it. When set up it will probably be
the largest steam drum in the camp.
Another big plant that is in the course
of construction at the Giroux is the
smelter, work on which was started a
year ago. After the concentration site had
been decided upon work was resumed on
the smelter. The big stacks are up and
extend quite distance in the air. so as
to keep the smoke away from the settle
ment.

ty days the company viii be turning out

high as 40 per cent copper. The matte

1t is not known just how much water
they have at the Giroux TO run the con-
centrator. The company is planning to
bring up the Steptoe water supply. 1t
owns some of the water rights of Steptoe
creek and preliminary surveys have been
made for bringing the water down. As
there will no doubt be a settlement at
Giroux it is likely the people will need
water for domestic purposes, which tends
20 show that the company will carry out
the plan.
The work of constructing the railroad
line TO the mines is being rushed. Ties
have been laid to Lane City and the
grade Is completed through Copper Flat
to the Star Pointer. They are rushing
the spur across to the Eureka mine and
the GiFoux. The Eureka mine is being
worked with a steam shovel similar to
the shovels used in Bingham, Utah. In
places the copper comes TO the surface
ana in other places they have to strip
fifty or sixty feet with the shovel.

Captain o. A. Tibbetts, the well known
mining engineer, has been making an ex-
animation of the Seven Troughs district
in general and the properties of the
Seven Troughs Tomboy company in par
ticular. He undertook the task at the
solicitation of J. J. Snyder president of
the company, and J. J. Chambers, who
was representing eastern operators and
some of whom went to camp with the
party when the examination was conduct
ed. As this is the first time that a min
ing engineer so well known as Captain
T1bbetts has passed judgment on the dis
trict, and, as the mines and prospects
of that region are practically owned or
controlled by Salt Lake or Utah oper-
ators, the conclusions reached by the cap
tain will be read with interest. Here is
