WE|MER MINE IS
Showing UP BIG
J. T. BreckOn Sees Splendid
Change for the Better
Each Month.
NEW ORES BEING
FOUND ARE RICH
Believes Main Resources Are
Yet to Be Discovered
With Depth.

Once a month j 7. Breckon, the min
ing engineer, makes visit to the
properties in Idaho Of the Weimer com.
pany, and he stated Saturday that with
each visit the property shows splendid
improvement. Mr.. Breckon made a
thorough examination of this property
before the present owners took hold
of the same and he has watched 1t grow
from an unknown proposition to one
OF the attractive properties in the cop
per West, and he is convinced that
the mine will make what is generally
termed, whale. Mr.. Breckon returned
yesterday from the property, and ne
brought with him some very handsome
samples of rich ore that is being found
in the Valley View tunnel.
This working is a considerable dis
tance from the great open cut which
was the first work done by the present
management. The tunnel is proceeding
along the contact, cutting the cross
fissures each twenty or thirty feet as is
characteristic of the Weimer ore oc-
currences. But while the richest ore is
found at the crossings, between the
fissures is found lower grades of cop
per ore that will come in handy when
the company completes its smelling
plant,
Mr. BreCkOn states tpdJ DN means OIL
open cuts the management has demon
strated the ore TO cross the Weimer
group for 5000 feet. How much farther
the ore will extend is unknown, as there
is ore from one end of these cuts to
the other. AS the work proceeds into
the mountain. the ores grow richer, and
Mr.. Breckon states in his opinion 1T
viii be found eventually that these fs
sures will come together making one
great ore body It is this condition
that makes him believe that the Wei
mer company has only a prospect as
yet, for the real resources are to be
found farther in the hills. There is
sufficient tonnages of rock in sight now,
however, in his opinion, to Justify the
erection OF a smelter to try out the
rock.
The company owns fine smelter site
within four miles Of the mine. 4 tram
way is planned TO connect these two
points, and smelter plans will without
doubt be the next thing on the COM
pany programme. There is no doubt
ing the fact that the Wejmcr company
mas an IDEAL proposition on its hands,
and the results being gained by this
organization are having the effect to
attract Il great deal of money and min.
ing talent into that section of the
State

Company Makes Interesting Find in the
Outside Shaft at Depth.

Company Makes Interesting Find in the
Outside Shaft at Depth.
Among the many interesting devel-
opments upon the Nevada Douglas
property during the month of May,
as shown by the company report, the
opening OF good grades of ore in the
Outside shaft is especially gratifying
to the management. Work was slow
in the shaft owing to the need for the
men 10 move the heavy machinery that
was being placed in position over the
group. so that less than thirty shifts
were put in during the month. In this
time, however, sixteen feet was the
distance gained, bringing the total
depth of this working 10 l02 feet.
In the earlier part of the month the
formation passed through was a de.
composed garnet lime carrying small
amounts of copper carbonatcs, AT a
depth of 100 feet the shaft broke into
good grades of rock on all sides, and
everything points TO successful and
gratifying results the present month.
The management has men eXcavatlng
at. the shaft for whim In May the
company, built three cottages, finished
the transformer house and timbers were
framed for the compressor house.
Work is to begin at once on the board
ing house and Offices. The poles for
the power line are being raised as fast
as possible, the wires being strung as
this work progresses. The manage
ment sends in splendid list Of assays
secured in the various workings during
the past month. and the showing is eX-
ecptionally fine.

Beaver County Company Has
Been Sending in Some
Good Shipments.

Company Turning Out Some
Fine Grades SiIver-Lead
Zine Ores.

The Talisman Mining company counts
its months from the fifteenth of one to
the same date in the next month, and
during the present period it has sent
five cars Of ore to the local smelters.
Four of these cars were silver and lead
ores, while the fifth was zinc. The for
mer is divided into first and second
classes from the Stalwart and the Tai
isman claims of this Beaver county COM
pany The car Of first-class ore from
the Talisman averaged per ton 64.6
ounces silver and 62.6 per cent lead.
The second-class ore from the same
claim averaged n ounces silver and 3S
per cent lead,
The Stalwart frst-class car averaged
per ton l542 ounces silver and 22.5
per cent lead. The second-class car
averaged 37,4 ounces silver and 6.2 per
cent lead. The returns from the zinc
ore have not been received from Kan
sas yet, but the management expects to
realize something like $50 per ton net
from the shipment Another car of zinc
ore left the shipping point of Milford
Saturday, the returns on this should be
received before the current month
closes.
NlIh 'hs present fdIe VI ore snip
ments, the Talisman is more than max
ing all expenses, and when in full trim
for production should begin laying aside
a comfortable surplus each month. The
developments in both the Talisman and
Stalwart portions of its possessions, and
in both the zinc and the silver,lead
ores, are unfolding splendidly. The

SALT LAKERS GOING
TO DEPTH AT ELY
Ely Resurrection Meeting With
Good Results i'm Search
ing for Copper.

Secretary and Manager Raymond, Of
the Ely Resurrection Copper company,
who recently assumed the duties in
such capacity upon surrendering the
presidency Of the organization, is back
from the mine of the company at Ely.
The company some time ago dropped
the character of work that had been
pursued, now doing all the development
work by the contract method and Mr..
Raymond states that this is bringing
IN very satisfactory results. The main
development work is being done in the
main working shaft, now l2S feet in
depth,
Mr.. Raymond states that the forma
tion at that depth is the oxide of iron
stained with manganese that is shown
IN other parts of the district TO be the
Gaping TO the monZonite formation.
Within a short time. therefore, the
company expects to be through this
metal. In order TO show, however, that
all the work so far done upon the Ely
Resurrection property has not been so
hungry in character, Mr.. Raymond
shows a long line of handsome copper
ores found in at least twenty-five differ
ent points upon the group owned by
this Organization. The company, by the
way, has splendid acreage, owning 81
claims, or about 500 acres Of ground
north of the Mcdonald Ely properties.
The company has fully a thousand
tons of ore accumulated upon the prop
erty that would bring a profit if
shipped, Mr. Raymond states that j. it

so as to bring everything up to high

The company is blessed with sufficient
funds to place the ground in correct
condition. C. M. Freed succeeded Mr..
Raymond as president Of the company;
Joseph Lippman is vice president, and
Frank Knox IS trea surer.

SINKING upon VERY
RICH COPPER ORES
South Columbus Company Has
Richest Rock of Mine in
the Winze.

William Dwyer, superintendent Of the
South Columbus Consolidated property
at Alta, in making his report over the
telephone Saturday to President Tony
Jacobson, said that the property look.
ed more like coal mine than n copper
mine to him. This statement undoubt-
edly was the product of the present
developments, for the management is
extracting ore from the South Columbus
that is decidedly unusual for copper
rock. The present interest point is the
winze being driven upon the fine chute
of copper ore found in the Quincy
workings,
This winze shows the chute TO aver
age five full feet in width, and the
didly with depth. A sample sent from
the mine Friday contains by assay
6S.S4 per cent copper, and 65 ounces
silver TO the ton. No such ore ever
was found in such faithful quantities on
the South Columbus, or in fact, in all
Alta, and the behavior of the body
gives every indication Of present condi-
tions continuing with greater depth.
The company is driving for the same
chute in the lower tunnel. Mr., Jacob
SON stated yesterday that this working
should tap the body within thirty days,
and at greater vertical depth of l6O
feet.
In sending this winze to depths, the
management naturally is taking out con
siderable ore, Mr.. Jacobson estimates
that the company is piling ore worth
$1,000 per day upon the first class dump.
This rock in part will form the ship
ments from the South Columbus, which
will be started as soon as possible. Mr..
Jacobson says that the South Columbus
is mine, and in all that the term
implies.
