1000 people.
Cross-cutting is now progressing on
tho second level of the Ramsey-Com-
stock property. at Ramsey, Nevada,
and 1t is the intention OF the manage
ment TO send the shaft down to the
1.000-foof mark this year.
There are large number of oil ex-
perts from Los Angeles looking over
the ground in the vicinity OF New
houses well. about FIVE miles north
west OF Fillmore. Utah. They are re-
ported as being well pleased with the
outlook.
The Mineral Hill district of Idaho
continues to attract attention of the
mining world, and although many for
tunes have been made in these mines
In the vicinity of HALEY, It Us the uni
versal opinion that the surface OF the
district has hardly yet been scratched,
II Is now beginning to look as
though r. A. Heinze might become a
leading factor in mining at Park City,
Utah. Long conferences between Da-
vid Keith and Thomas Kearns. presi-
dent and manager, respectively, OF the
Silver King company, and the big op-
orator from Montana were held last
week.
The Gold Bar sent out last week
probably the richest carload of ore
which has ever left the Bullfrog dis
trict. The management of the COM
pany states that the ore will average
between $1,000 and $4,000 to the ton.
The material came from the north
shaft OF the property at depth Of
100 feet.
Report has it that the Albion Min
ing company is contemplating the
early erection of concentrating plant
at Alta for the purpose Of bringing
the bulk OF Albion ores into a COM
mercial form. Such step by this or.
ganization is deemed the logical con-
clusion of the past two seasons do
velopment work.
Reports from Gold Springs are that
the mill OF the Jennie Gold Mining
company will go into commission
about March /, at the present rate of
progress. The event Is looked for
ward 10 with much interest, as the
Jennie mine is not generally known to
be one-half as rich in gold as the
mill returns will prove 1t to be.
The vuliure has just made the mi
tial shipment from Wonder, Nevada.
and the thirty ton lot sent out is going
to show high values. Many shipments
would have been made from the camp
before this il it had been possible To
get the ore hauled. There Is no less
than 1900 sacks now awaiting ship
ment at the various producing proper
ties.
A member OF Salt Lake ore and
bullion buying firm, speaking of re-
cent visit to the Cactus mine. In Bea-
yer county, Utah, says: Il saw enough
at the Cactus to leave no doubt in my
mind that, with the mill running at an
average of 1000 tons a day, the ores

measurement and sampling could not
be treated in less than eight years"
During the past year the Daly-West
mine at Park City, Utah, produced
1892 wet tons of first-class and Ca
344 tons of second-class ore. There
was sent to market 26,067 dry tons OF
crude ore and concentrates. which net
ted the company $1,013, 44S.54. The
greater portion of all the milling ore
mined was the product of two or three
slopes on the 1.550-foot or lowest level
OF the mine.
The Mineral Hill district, of which
HALEY. Idaho, is the center, Is his
torical for its production Of high
grade galena (lead-silver) ores.
There have been no new discoveries
in the mining world of such ores, and
the fact that prices are soaring higher
and higher and the supply is not in
keeping with the demand, mabes IL
highly probable and reasonable that
the mining industry in this district
will be rejuvenated in the search for
ores.
One of the propositions to receive
immediate attention of Malcolm Nc
Donald is the opening and develop
ment of properties at Rosebud.

and about 100 other claims. Nothing
but location work and preliminary
prospecting has been so far attempted
Samples of ore from the Paymaster
mine, near st, George, Utah, show 40
per cent lead. and the samples con-
tain enough sulphur to be easily ig-
nited by a match.
1t has been learned that the miners
OF the Rosebud district have con.
cluded to abide by the decision OF the
operators and to be content with the
present wages of 81 per day. For 5
time II seemed that there might he ?
disagreement between the two inter
ests.
That Ramsey has as bright an out
look as any gold camp of the Sag
brush state, and that there are thir-
teen properties at least now working
In ore. is the assertion made by a
prominent mining man who has just
made a trip OF inspection to that dis
trict.
