j. w. Burnham. manager OF the
Southern Pacific company, operating

trict, near Ogden says that while the
company owns a copper mine OF splep-
did proportions, the management is
showing up gold values that make OF
the property proposition of addition

In the Lee and Echo districts of
Inyo county, California, are to be
found conditions existing that seldom
attach anywhere else on the globe.
The veins are wonderfully well de-
fined i'm both sections. While the
surface showings as a rule are not so
great, even shallow depth has shown
splendid ore bodies.
In the very complete review by the
state mine inspector OF the great min
ing section of the Occur dAlenes. II
is shown that this district last year
produced 9S per cent of the lead, 81
per cent of the silver, 55 per cent OF
the copper, 95 per cent OF the zinc
and 51h per cent of the gold and all
the anthony OF the state OF Idaho.
There were seventeen fatal acct
dents in the mines OF Idaho in 1916.
as compared with twenty in 1905, ten
in 1904 and twenty in 1908. Six OF
this years accidents we're from explo-
sions, four from falling ground, four
from falling down chutes and fill
holes, and one each from handling
timber, tramway and fall from stag
ing.
Following the consolidation OF the
principal producing mines in the Gold
field district, it is announced that
new combine has just been formed to
take over other producing mines and
few of the largest producing leases
now operating in the several proven
sections of the district. The new
company will have capital OF
81 900 900.
A deal was closed last week that
gives to Salt Lake one of the bigsesl
mines in the Yerington district. The
100000 option on the famous Lud-
wig mine that was held by Joseph E.
Game and Max Junghandel, the latter
of Tonopah, was purchased from them
by Frank J. Hagenbarth at an adj

Butte today will bring anywhere from
