capable of shipping ore worth
anywhere from $25 to $50 a ton.
Hardly any of them were able to
stand the heavy expense Of get
ting supplies in and shipping ore
out for fifty miles to Modena, the
point from which most of the
teaming has been done of late
years, but with the railroad COM
pleted to camp many of these
properties can be made to pay
handsomely, while others can at
least snip ore enough to keep
development work going on all
the time. Lead ore, copper ore,
gold ore and silver ore are all
found in the districts, and here
and there producers of such rich
ness nave been developed that
most any kind Of a transporta-
ton charge could be met and big
profits result as well.
1t is the tonnage Of a camp
of camp that counts, however,
and Phoebe has already issued re-
ports for the benefit of railroad
officials showing that the tonnrge
was there. In the Day Mine of
the Nevada-Utah company it is
estimated that there is between
$50, 900 and 100000 tons of ore
in sight and ready to market
that will average 10 per cent lead
16 ounces silver and 81 in gold
per ton.
In the Fortuna group, belong
ing to the Bambergers, there is
said to be nearly 10000 tons of
ore in sight that will go 20 per
cent lead, 20 ounces silver and 81
in gold. In Colonel A. C. Ellis
3. & F. property there are 20, 900
tons of $50 ore available, and
here are no. less than twenty
other propositions that are cap
able of loading whenever the
opportunity offers, anywhere
from 500 to 1910 tons of ore
that will run all the way from
S25 to $3.50 per ton.
The mines carrying these ton
nages are not all located right at
Phoebe. Some are in the Bristol
district, some are at Highland,
some at Jackrabbit, some on
Lone Mountain and some in the
Elk district. The Yuba East, the
Mendah, the Little Mendah, the
Phoebe Nevada Consolidated, the
Highland Mary of the Bamberg-
ers, the properties of the Bristol
Copper company and a large
number of others are all ready
to contribute and make the haul
OF anywhere from two to fifteen
miles to reach the railroad.
The town of Phoebe is blessed
with a fine water system, and
the rebuilding of that once pros
porous and heavily populated
place is well under the way.
Competent mining engineers de-
clared that the districts surround
ing the old town have in them
the making of more and better
mines today than any western
camp can boast, and they have
all kinds of good things to say
for its future. Salt Lake Herald.
