MINING NOTES

the history Of the state.
Some high grade copper sulphides
that came from copper property on
Chuai creek, near Kanab, Utah,
are being exhibited by the fortu-
ms tie discoveries.
The collapse of a flue leading to
the great stack of the Washoe
shelter in Anaconda caused a ces-
sation OF operations except in the
concentrator for three days.
Thompson company is TAX
ing steps to connect it's mines in
Rock Springs, Wyo., section with
the main railroad line, the separat-
ing distance being 80 miles
The Tenabo, mining district IN
Nevada is located about twenty
three miles southwest of Beowawe
in Lander county, connected with
the latter point by good wagon
road.
There has been a great deal OF
activity in the Bullion district of
Nevada during the past few weeks.
AT least dozen deals of consider
able Importance have been consum-
mated.
Over 40, 900 sacks of ore are lying
at the Kalamazoo mine, near Amer
lean Fork, Utah, awaiting ship
ment, the roads being in such bad
condition that it is impossible to
bring it to the market.
A rich Strike is reported in the
Golden Chest mine at Murray, Ida.
The strike is said to have been
made on the lower 2o00-foot cross
cut tunnel to the west, and two
veins are reported to have been
opened.
An account of splendid find of
copper ore in Box Elder county,
Utah, is becoming current, and just
enough detail is known to cause
property hunters to hike out to de-
termine the situation for them
selves.
Incorporation papers have been
filed at Augusta, Maine, for the
Boston-Idaho Mining company with
a capital of 5000, 600. All the pro-
moters named are residents of South
Berwick, Maine, and Dover, New
Hampshire.
From Elko is being surveyed d
railroad to Tuscarora. This road
is to be built, presumably, by the
Tuscarora Nevada Mines company,
the organization that has gathered
in all the famous old bonanzas of
that portion OF the state of Nevada.
1t is understood the negotiations
are under way for a mining deal
which will give F. Augustus
Heinze, Senator Thomas Kearns,
]. B. Keith and other associates
complete control of the Silver
King coalition mines and the Nc
Gregor ground in Utah.
According to statistics compiled
for the United States geolog ical sur
vcy by Edward W. Parker, coal
mining expert in charge, the total
production of coal in the United
States in 1906 was 4f4,039,5s1
short ton of 1000 pounds valued at
$512, 610, 744.
A circular has been issued by the
executive board of the Western
Federation of Miners, now in ses-
sion in Denver, directing union
miners and those in sympathy with
them to remain away from Bisbee,
Ariz., as a strike has been ordered
in that camp.
The Yerington Copper company,
operating a splendid group in the
Yerington district, has at last
started upon the interesting work
of going to depths with its new
equipment upon the rich ore chute
recently encountered in the mine
or new shaft.
There is considerable interest in
the Rankin mining district, stu
atcd on the east side of Cuddy
mountain, eight miles northwest of
Cambridge, Idaho. Development
there is but slight, but there appear
to be outcropping veins of quartz,
bearing gold and copper, within
granite country rock.
One of the interesting facts pre-
scented in the statistics of coal pro-
duction last year is that West Vir-
ginia has supplanted Illinois as the
second coal producing state, West
Virginia showing total output of
40, 276, 4S5 short tons, while the
production of Illinois was i,497,'-
435 short tons.
