DEVELOPING CAMEL COAL
NEAR P0CATELL0, IDA.

Samuel Allsworth of Pocatello, who is
deeply interested in the Mink Creek Coal
and Gas company, is in the city confer
ring with a few of his friends relative
to the development of a coal prospect on
the opposite side of the divide from the
Mink Creek company's properties. He
has with him samples of the camel coal
that is found in the Mink Creek com
pany's mine, together with samples of the
sandstone and Shale formation in which
the ledge occurs.
1.-The Mink Creek mines" said Mr.. Ais
worth yesterday. have been opened to a
depth OF 300 feet on the dip of the vein,
which is twelve feet thick between walls
and which has a pitch of between 30 and
50 per cent from the horizontal. The prop
erty is twelve miles south of PocatellO
and six miles from the railroad We
have not yet opened into a clean body of
coal, but the face of the incline is all
shot full of clean coal that tests made
some time ago. and which was taken. at
points much nearer the surface. showed
80 per cent of fixed carbon. The quality
is improving all the time. ana L nave
no doubt that samples taken now would
show 65 per cent of fixed carbon. With
in another 100 feet we have every reason
to believe that solid bodies of the coal
will be encountered. Just at present
however no effort is being made 10 go
couple of parallel veins that are dis
tant about 200 feet Our company is well
financed, so we are not out looking for
money to develop with. There are only
% 600 shares in the corporation and one
half of that was sold to provide the
money for opening the mine"
Mr. Ellsworth states that there is a
great deal of metal mining going on IN
the region radiating from Pocatello, and
he considers that the opening of good
coal measures in that section will do more
to build up southeastern Idaho than any
thing that has ever happened.

WONDER CAMP is
MOVING TO THE FRONT

Ben d. Luce. manager of the Christmas
Wonder companyS properties IN the
Wonder district, Nevada. came In from
camp yesterday to confer with associates
on this end of the line. Mr.. Luce states
that a station is now being cut at the
lOO-fOot level and that he is now ready for
a good hoist and compressor OUTFIT lie
commenced getting the characteristic sui
phide ores of the camp at eighty feet,
where the ledge is fourteen feet wide.
and while the vein did not show solid ore
at that depth, he expects to find great
change at the 100 level as soon as the
vein has been crOss-cut. The ore that
does make in the ledge at the eighty-foot
mark goes all the way from S4o0 to 500
per ton, with one-third of the values in
gold.
Mr. Luce exhibited a number of sam
pies from the ledge and number from
the Spider * Wasp, the Nevada Wonder
companys ground and other properties to
show that the character of the ore in al
was identical. The Nevada Wonder and
the Jack Pot are each shipping regularly,
while a good deal of ore has been shipped
by leasers on the Spider & Wasp 4
latter company is now sinking a double
compartment working shaft on its own
account which is down 105 feet. Ii VI
be sent TO the 200 level before the ledge IS
opened, as ii is now understood by all
operating companies in the camp that
from 80 to 800 feet IN depth is required
to get the sulphide ores in regular bod
les 1t has also been shown in the Ne
vada Wonder that the ore grows richer
as depth is attained and as that property
is now being mined at depth OF 81
feet the management knows.
Twenty-Five hOists are now in operation
in the district and while the summer mas

LOTS OF LOCATING is DONE

G. B. Hobbs of Nephi, who has been
erecting a gypsum mill for the Utah Con-
solidated Gypsum company at Levan,
Juab county. was in the city yesterday
comforting with the officers of the Ma
tional Gypsum company relative to the
building of a mill or two for that cor
pOration and incidentally to talk oil, as
he believes the country around Levan is
going to make a noise on its own &C
count He brought in fine looking spec
linen of Oil Shale and declared that II u
proved good for nothing else it would
save the people of that section from suf-
feEing on account of coal shortage dur
ing the coming winter, as the. stuff would
burn splendidly. With others Mr.. Hobbs
has taken up several oil claims on This
deposit and states that locations are now
being made all around there
Il don't make any pretensiO1s at being
an oil expert" explained Mr.. Hobbs yes
terday, but during the time that I have
been building the MILL couple of miles
east of Levan. l have heard and learned
considerable about the oil shale beds
about nine miles south of Levan ard ten
miles from Juab station On the San Pedro
railroad.
quite number of years ago an old
oil man put up crude ret0Tt, made of an
old boiler shell, or something of the sort,
and began the extraction OF oil from
the same kind of shala as this sample.
He worked along and made from one TO
two barrels of oil a day and shipped his
product to California. He made over 500
gallons. all told. and l learned that he
got several kinds of oil from the crude
product by distillatiOn. He finally came
to Salt Lake to get more materials and
supplies. and while here he became sick
and died. He was over so years old when
this happened. Stephen Moss. an old
resident of Levan, worked fo~ the old
man and helped to sink shaft eighty-five
feer deep in the shale- One morning he
went down to resume work and found
that one of the drill holes in the bottom
contained more than an inch of oil
Shortly after that flood came down the
valley in which the shaft was located
and filled it up with water and debris
to such an extent that work upon it was
abandoned
Moss thought little or nothing of this
oil shale proposition until recently, when
the oil excitement broke out in the Viz
gen river country. He went down there
and the moment he was shown the char
acter of the oil shales down there he said
to himself: Why, we have got lots bet
ter looking stuff than that in Juab eoun-
ty.' Accompanied by the man who was
with him in the southern country, he re-
turned to Levan and began locating
ground in the country south of Levan.
He believes that the field near his home
beats the southern country ali hollow,
and as capitalists from Salt Lake are now
beginning to get in there, it is very prob
able that LeYan will soon be revealing In
an oil excitement of its own"

LYNDON MINES co.
FROM PRUDENTIAL MINES

Bills of lading for the first carload of
ore to go over the Phoebe & Calieute

is shipped from Ed. F. Freudenthafs
properties, which are incorporated upon
as the Lyndon Mines company. The ore
was consigned to Mccormick & Co.,
through the Judd-Lund-Olson Forwarding
company Of Panaca. the lot consisting of
between twenty-six and twenty-seven
tons.
From Phoebe to Panaca. the point from
which this initial shipment was made, is
only twelve miles and the Phoebe Record,
which reached here yesterday, says the
track is being leveled up and ballasteo
from Panaca TO Caliente in order that a
general freighting business can be done
from there while the track is being lalc
from Panaca TO camp
1t is good to hear that ore is beginning
to move from Phoebe over the new road
and Ed. FreudenthaPs legion of friends
in the mining world will be pleased 10
hear that he was the first man to do bus
mess with the railroad company. Con-
corning this shipment the Caliente Lode
Express has this to say:
THE Lyndon Mines company today
made the first ore shipment over the new
road 1t was a full carload of rich silver
lead ore from their mines, fourteen miles,
the distance from the mine to BullonVllle,
the ore was hauled on wagons and loaded
on the car which is consigned to Salt
Lake. The Lyndon Mines company al
ready has several hundred tons of ore
on the dump awaiting transportation, anc
as soon as satisfactory arrangements can
be made with the freighters for the wag-
on haul, regular shipments viii be made.
THE shipment of this carload OF ore Is
but the advance guard Of what IS TO come,
as many of the mines on that side OF the
mountain have been waiting for the rail-
road to receive ores at Bullionville. Keep
your eye on the Lyndon and watch
