COPPER STRIKE
NEAR P0CATELLO
Fine Body of Twenty Per Cent
Ore Opened in the Fort
Hall Mine.

Bringing big chunks of the finest cop
per ore ever taken from the hills in
southeastern Idaho, Superintendent Pal
mer of the famous Fort Hall mine, seven
miles from Pocatello, came down to the
Gate City yesterday with details of the
most important strike yet made in that
rich property, says the Pocatello Tri-
bune. The ore is on exhibition at Cook s
drug store, and is attracting the atten-
ton of all citizens who are interested,
vitality, in the success of mining opera
tons in this camp.
The strike was made in a drift from
the main 400-foot crOSs-cut, and twenty
five feet have been driven into the heart
of an immense deposit of the richest cop
per ore yet uncovered in the property.
The last eighty-five feet of the cross-cut
has been travelling through highly min
eralized- Many stringers of high grade
ore came into the tunnel. and at one
point a stringer was so strong ana the
showing so exceptionally good that Su-
perintendent Palmer decided to drift in.
The first round of holes broke into a
widening streak of copper ore In TWEEN
ty-five feet the stringer was still strong
er, with every Indication of permanence-
The superintendent says a carload of ore
can be broken down every day.
Assays have not been made OF the ore
from the new strike, but from It's APP
average of 20 per cent copper.
Work is being vigorously prosecuted on
the drift. The ore is being carefully sort
ed and stored on the dump in prepare
ton for shipment to Salt Lake smelter
as soon a. possible.

NEW TIPS ON DEEP CREEK.
Ely Doctor Stubs His Toe in Talking
About Country Across Desert.

DR.. Brock came in Tuesday evening
from Ibapah, Utah, 40 miles northeast of
here. where he was called to attend Mrs.
Owen Sheridan, wife of the influential
man in that section, who owns mines, the
store, big ranch and lots of fine stock,
says the Ely Mining Expositor. The trip
was made to Currie's ranch on the Ne
vada Northern and from there sixty-flve
miles from the Nevada-Utah state line
The doctor says that is a great country
over there; plenty of water for irrigation
from Deep creek, enabling the settlers to
raise all kinds of vegetables and farm
produce in luxurious profusion. The hills
and pastures are dotted with blooded cat
tie, yet butter is shipped from Salt Lake.
There are stations on both the Clark road
and the Southern Pacific from which
goods are handled by wagon TO different
points in the valley
Notwithstanding there is much activity
in mining over there. one hears but little
of the district. and people there seem
to have heard little or nothing of the
revival in mining and boom in all lines
here in Ely and the surrounding country.
Several strong companies and a number
of individuals are shipping high grade
gold-cOpper ores from the Deep creek sec
tion to- the Salt Lake smelter over the
Clark road.
Heinze, the Montana plunger. recently
paid $4,000 for the Gold Hill mine and is

CHIEF OF HILLS SALE.
Cherry Creek Proposition to Be
Financed in England.
(SpeciaI 20 The Herald.)

Ely New, May 3.-The Chief OF the
Hills mine in the Cherry Creek district
was sold here last night by F. n. Nc
Dernod. a well known sheep man and
mining operator, to J. w. Walker of Cher
~ Creek, and Alfred Fletcher Of Leeds.
England. The purchase price of the
property was $4,000. and the purchasers
have agreed 10 develop the property
greatly during the next year A substan-
tial payment was made upon the sign
ing of the deeds. which have been placed
in escrow. and the purchasers have one
year in which TO make final payment.
Within the year the purchasers have
agreed to sink a 700-foot shaft. To do
this they will keep two shifts woTkin :
continuously. and will place in commits
sion a fOrty-horsepower hoist to facili-
tate the work. They will expend $4,000
in improving and developing the prop
erty. Boarding houses, bunk houses and
new machinery will consume a part Of
this amount
The purchasers have persisted the pre-
liminary arrangements for the organiza-
ton of the REHABILITATION Mining COM
pany. which will operate the mine. The
capitalization of the company will be for
100000 shares Of stock at a par valu-
alton of 81 per share. OF this stock 400,-
600 shares will be treasury stock. The
entire treasury issue is to be reserved
for English subscription, not a share to
be placed in America.
The officers of the company will be:
Alfred Fletcher, president; ]. ". Walk
er, vice president and general manager;
William +. Fletcher. secretary and two
directors, to be chosen in England
Mr.. Walker left this morning for Salt
Lake. where he will meet with the other
two directors already selected. Friday.
He will at once purchase the necessary
machinery for the Improvement of the
property.
Alfred Fletcher will leave Saturday for
New York and will sail for England
early next week TO complete the final
details of the incorporation.
The Chief of the Hills mine is on the
claim adjoining the Star mine on the
south. The Star has produced more than
100000 in lead silver and gold, but has
been shut down for a number of years,
and has been in the hands of one or two
employees. who have acted as caretakers
The shutdown was caused by the de-
cline in the price of silver and the dis
lance from the railroad. At the time of
its greatest production the Star was more
than 100 miles from a railroad. and the
freight rates were enormous for the long
haul to the railroad. The property is
owned by Glasgow. Scotland. capitalists
1t is understood that steps are now being
taken to rehabilitate the property and re-
sumo operations

WILL EXPLORE EAST TINTIC
GROUND AT GREAT DEPTH

The Eureka Reporter learns from re-
liable source that preparations are being
made to sink shaft upon the group of
claims in East Tintic which were re-
Gently acquired by c. E Loose, George
HaVercamp and associates of Provo. This
group takes in the old Noon Iron mine
and it is quite likely that the shaft will
be located so that il will cut through the
immense deposits of iron ore. The best
informed mining men of the district are
of the opinion that there is some splendid
ore beneath this iron and when Mr.. Loose
and associates do start work it will be
with equipment sufficient to sink TO a
depth of fully loo feet.
The railroad which is to be built to
the Beck Tunnel and Colorado mines will
no doubt be extended to Mr. Loose s
ground and when this has been done the
iron ore can be handled at a nice profit
Considerable iron ore from this section
has been shipped in years past and even
with long haul by team the owners of
ground were able to make some money
out of the product which was used for
fluxiDg.

BECK TUNNEL COMPANY
TO SINK NEW SHAT

1t will not be long before the Beck
Tunnel mine will be worked through the
new double compartment shaft which has
been located near the center of the COM
pany's ground, says the Eureka Reporter
superintendent John Roundy says that
the work of sinking this new shaft has
been started and from all reports no time
will be lost in putting it down to the re-
quired depth. 1t is estimated that the
new shaft will cut this ore at depth
of about 800 feet, but il is the inten-
ton of the management to sink consid
erably deeper Two new boilers and an
engine have been purchased as the ma
chinery now in use at the Beck Tunnel
is hardly modern enough for a mine that
is taking out ore enough to pay a $40
600 dividend every month.
And right here il may not be out OF
place to state that the Beck Tunnel with
but single compartment shaft. one cage
and what is in reality but one level in
the mine. has made a wonderful record
for production. This one cage must be
kept pretty busy in hosting all the ore
and waste, lowering all the timbers and
taking the men TO and from work. When
the new shaft is in use it can readily
be seen that Superintendent Roundy's
forces will have a snap in keeping the
output of the mine up to its present
standard or increasing the tonnage.

So CongeSted With Ore That
Management Is Puzzled How
to Handle 1t.

Fairview, New, May "A special meet
ing of the directors of the Nevada Hills
Mining company is shortly to be held at
the mine for the purpose of devising
ways and means for getting rid Of the
high grade ore which gluts every part
of the mine workings. The situation
which confronts the officials of this COM
pany is unique 1t is probably the first
time that a. mine management has ever
been called upon to consider problem
growing out of a surfeit of ore. None
of this high grade ore has been brought
10 the surface for the purposes of reali-
cation uDrn its value. 1t all came out
in the course of plain and prosaic work
of blocking out the main ore bodies in
order to make a mine.
At the present time the congestion of
ore is Sc great that the mine is threat
ened with shutdown unless the direc-
tors succeed in solving the transporta-
ton problem which they are TO consider.
The dumps contain little save shipping
ore, 5000 sacks OF high grade are await
ing transport to the railroad, and now
the ore is being left to lie where it falls
as the miners break il. Under present
conditions it is possible to freight only
one carload each week TO the railroad
for shipment TO the smelters, and unless
the directors can discover some way to
remove the ore as it is broken down the
mine VIII have to suspend operations
pending improved transportation facili-
ties.
This unique condition in the Nevada
Hills is a fitting climax to the close OF
the first annual chapter in the history
of this mine, which has carried the fame
of the Fairview district through the ma
ton and stands today, when only thir-
/ teen months old, as the greatest mine in
Nevada.
Already the company has paid $3.50. 600
in dividends from earnings. In June a
/ third dividend. amounting to Sl12,500. is
! TO be declared When the second divi-
! dend OF $4,000 had been paid in March,
/ the company had in its treasury, from
Iearnings. 5000 There was 100000 worth
of ore in transit. $4,000 at the mine
awaiting shipment, and sS000,00O blocked
out in the mine.
On this showing Nevada Hills Is a
vastly greater property than the famous
Mohawk at GOldfield and in point of
preach the historic Comstock Engineer
Wilkes of the Guggenheim staff recently
made an examination of the property for
the New York Stock exchange. on which
the stock is shortly TO be listed. Mr..
Wilkes reported that the main ore shoot
in this mine, instead of being 100 feet
long, as the management had believed. is
4, 300 feet long, mis- decision being that
the later andesite. which covers the out
crop at the east end, does not interfere
with the progress of the ore shoot, which
the listing of this stock on the New York
Stock exchange, Nevada Hills will come
before the country as one of the great
est mining propositions of record. and the
prominence of the stock is certain TO TO-
Gus the eyes of investors everywhere up
on the wonderful possibilities of the Fair
view district.

OPERATIONS AT THE
MONTGOMERY SH0SH0NE

Rhyolite. New, May 3-The Montgom-
cry Shoshone. long heralded as the best
mine in the Bullfrog district. has again
struck rich ore. this time in the bottom
of the triple compartment working shaft.
at depth of 40 feet. The ore in the
enw strike is all of shipping values and
will run better than 500 to the ton. and
shows free gold. This is a change from
where little free gold is to be found. The
fact that the strike was made in the
lowest point in the mine shows that the
ore is going down and hence is of great
Importance.
The Shoshone has been sending out
carload of ore day from the old Mont
gomery camp since the washouts on the
Salt Lake, and yesterday the PolaTis sent
away its first car of high-grade. On the
3o9-foot level a large body of ore has
been uncovered and proven for a distance
of 800 feet and this can all be shipped
direct to the smelters with profit Six
carloads OF machinery have arrived
within the week from the east for the
new mill and it viii be set up at once
With mining and mill building the
Shoshone now is employing more than
80 men upon the property. and already
has more than two miles of underground
workings completed.
The completion of the new triple COM
partment working shaft to the 400 foot
level with the building of stations has
enabled the-operators to connect the
oiciAS WIN TIE onoSifol4c pN an unueT-
ground tunnel and all the hosting now
is being done through the big shaft and
the only thing that the POlaris shaft Is
being used for is for air circulation. The
Polaris hoist even has been removed
The new mill at the Shoshone will be
capable of taking care of the immense
output of the property from the time IL
is completed and it viii be operated upon
the slimes-vacuum principle. In the old
days It was desired to keep as much ore
out of the shines possible bIIt under
the system upon which the Montgomery
mill will be operated the more ore there
is in the shines the better will be the
results.

PRODUCTION OF LEAD
IN THE UNITED STATES

The production of refined lead in 1906
was 1855 short tons. This report is
based upon returns received from all of
the refiners, with the exception of one
small concern, whose production is esti-
mated on the basis of its known receipts
of ore. says the Engineering and Mining
Journal. In our issue of Jan. >, 1907, we
reported the total production of 412142
tons our final figure being little less
than l percent higher than the prelim-
nary. The details OF the production are
given in the following table:

1t is to be distinctly noted that the
above statistics represent the production
of refined lead. The lead smelling In
dustry is so complex that it is impos-
sible TO make an accurate distribution
among the states. A fairly close separa-
ton can be made, however between the
lead of domestic origin and that of for
eign origin, because the latter is duti-
able. Even under that circumstance. how
ever, the separation is not precise, be-
cause the government assesses duty on
only 90 per cent of the work-lead and
lead content of ore imported, allowing 10
1eer cent for loss in smelling and refin-
ing; but the actual loss in those pro-
cesses is not so large as that. where
fore the shelters and refiners make a GER
tain gain on their imports. which they
are able to market as domestic lead.
The statistics reported above are accu-
rate far as they represent the guam
tity of lead actually produced in final
marketable form. They include small
quantity OF old lead which comes back
10 certain of the refiners for reconver-
sion into refined lead.
As 10 the classification in the above ia
BILE II is to be further noted that it is
TO large extent conventional The guam
titles credIted>to southeast and southwest
Missouri represent the lead actually
smelted in those districts. not the ore
production of the districts The smelt-
ers OF southeast Missouri obtain consid-
cradle lead ore from the joplin district,
and also obtain small quantities from out
side of Missouri. A considerable portion
of the lead produced in the southeast
Missouri district Gin which we include
the two large smelters in Illinois. near

however. rather to improve the quality
of the lead than to extract the small
quantity of silver which it contains. The
lead entered as s'desilverized' in the
sbove table is only the product of the
high grade argentiferous work-lead Of the
