MINES AND MINING


OF late that they ares becoming com
mon.
There are few Nevada camps. If
any at all, that can show SO many
working and shipping properties as
the camp of Good Springs.
1t is announced by the managers
of the Utah coal companies that
preparations are being made to avert
repetition Of the coal famine Of last
winter
| Dugway needs water and it needs
railroad. Nothing else is retarding
the growth of what should be one Of
the banner lead and copper producing
sections of all the state Of Utah.
The report that the United States
Smelling. Refining and Mining COM
pany has been forced to abandon all
the old Mexico mining field is abso-
lutely untrue, and is looked upon as
a joke OF some would-be humorist-
Word has been received in Rhyo-
lite from the Panamints that an as
say from the Eddy discovery shows
$1,000 ore A rush is on for the new
camp, and it is predicted it will
prove the sensation of the summer.
While all the men who can be OBJ
tanned are being put TO work at the
coal mines at Rock Springs. Wyo.. the
daily output is only about sufficient to
meet the daily demands No coal is
being produced for the railroads for
storage purposes.
At Mountain Home, Idaho, last
week, Deputy United States Marshal
Bryan sold the property Of the Crown
Point Mining company TO satisfy
Judgment Of s1f,377.S5 granted in IA
vor of B. P. Hutchinson by the Fed
eral court last March.
The Weimer copper property, in
Idaho, contains a ledge of copper ore
that will average 61z per cent copper.
The mine is opened by adits and open
cuts and sixteen cars of ore in all
have been shipped, which brought
about $4,000 per car.
There is a mine in active opera
ton not far from Salt Lake that pro- /
duces 40 per cent copper and runs
20 ounces in silver to the ton 1t is /
situated in Morgan county, about 4
seven miles southeast of Morgan City, !
and is owned and operated by the
Chicago-Utah Copper Mining COM
pany.
The Ontario group, near Ketchum,
Idaho, has recently been sold for a
large sum. The Ontario, an old pro-
Queer, yielded over 100000, paying
s45 per ton for smelling charges on
lead-silver ore, closed down with the
slump in silver after demonstration,
has a complete mill for concentrate
ing.
After protracted negotiations the
mine operators have at last secured
fright rate concessions from the Salt
Lake Route, and it is generally con-
,eded that the Denver & Rio Grande
will follow suit The concession is
hat in future rates will be based on
he net valuation of tonnage instead
If the gross, as heretofore.
Three rich strikes in as many diff
erent mines were made in the Pearl
amp, in Idaho, last week The rich
st find reported is in the Whitman.
There an eighteen-inch vein of ore
ssaying s435 to the ton was encoun-
cred Another strike of an eighteen
Dot ledge with values OF s37 TO the
On was also made.
Goldfeld is getting back into her
ld-time production form. There were
,991 tons of high-grade ore marketed
uring this last week, its approx
late value being s4SO.600. or nearly
alf million There were LIP
ms shipped TO the smelters, 7S9
ms handled by the Nevada Goldfeld
eduction works, and 400 tons treat
at the Combination mill.
It is reported that the Honerine
,mpany, at Stockton, Utah, is max
g arrangements TO sink from 400 to
70 feet lower than the present tun-
Il level. Local circles expect that
e Honerine at depth will open up
me very rich copper ores.
Fort Hall mine, near Pocatello, =
aho. has been opened by a crosscut
mel. which has been driven $500
et, cutting the first vein at $500 II
