SALT LAKE-E[Y IS
PROGRESSING FINE
Interesting Story of 1t Is Told
by Mr.. NJ. F. Sammon,
the Manager.
GREAT ORE VEIN NOW
OPEN FOR NINE MILES
By Time Machinery Is Installed
Enormous Amount of Ore
Will Be Ready.

NJ. F. Sammon, manager OF the Salt
Lake-Ely Mining company, arrived IN
che city from that wonderful mining
camp, known as Ely, New, Monday
Mr.. Sammon brings gratifying accounts
of the Ely mining district de says
that already the great ore vein has
been opened up for distance OF nine
miles, and in width the ore-bearlng zone
will average three miles. Within tins
radius some wonderfully large ore VEINS
have been developed. By the time ma
chinery can DO put in place for tho
treatment of ore, the amount on the
dumps will be simply appalling. The
developments being made are showing
up ore bodies OF tremendous size all
along the line.
The Salt Lake Ely is situated on the
known ore belt, about two and half
miles north Of the Ely Resurrection,
which property Mr., Sammon says IS
looking fine, and upon which a great
deal Of rich ore has been encountered
and is being extracted. In tins proper
ty there is large bodies of shipping ore
in sight.
The Mcdonald Ely is great prop
erty, and upon which stands mill,
which cost when it was built not less
than Sl50,000. This property is being
developed on scientific mining princl-
pies, and is regarded as one of the
great mining propositions IN district
which In extent and mineral wealth has
no equal in this Western country,
Times in Ely, generally speaking, are
good. Business of all kinds is active.
There is a great deal of building 60
ing on, but the erection of houses does
not begin to keep up with the demand.

through which runs a strong contact
or fssure vein, which extends north
into the Blackrock mine. a great deal
of work has been done on the Skylark
property and much rich ore has been
shipped as a result. The mine. as now
being developed, is looking more en-
couraging than at any time in the past,
and to place the property or paying
basis it is only necessary TO prosecute
the work as now outlined. President
McMullen is very much encouraged,
and will. he says. continue active work
right along in the future as in the past,

MINERS MAKE DEMANDS.
A Strike Threatened Along the Moth
er Lode

STOCKTON, Cal, April 15.-There
arc prospects Of n strike by the miners
along the "Mother Lode" unless their
demand for an eight-hour day is grant
ed by the mine owners.
a special to the Mail today from
Angels Camp is to the effect that the
miners of the Utica, Lightner, Angels,
North Star and other mines Mt Angels
have made formal demand for an
cight-hour day, though they have asked
for no advance in wages. The mine
owners declare they cannot operate the
mines at a profit on that basis aud the
inference is that if the miners insist
upon their demands there will be a gen
cral shutdown. About 500 men will be
affected at Angels. A representative of
the American Federation Of Miners is
on the ground looking into the mat
ter.
There is talk of making a similar de-
mand at Sonora, but no action has beer
taken.
