MICHIGAN CROWD HAS
SHEBA WELL IN HAND

The Michigan crowd that now controls
the Sheba property at Mill City. New, is
rapidly rounding that proposition into
shape for heavy production and earnings
The little mill on the property that has
recently been equipped with some of the
machinery that is to enter into the
equipment of the 100-ton plant now build
ing. is rolling out ton of exceedingly
rich concentrates a day. AS soon as the
water power increases. which ii will do
within another week or two, the piant
win do considerably better and this prod
uct, added TO the half ton of rich crude
that Is daily being sacked for shiDment
will go a long way toward meeting op-
Grating expenses.
The new mill Is to have an initial ca
pacfty of 100 tons daily. but the manage
ment has no hope of having the plant in
operation before August. owing to the
difficulty in securing dimension timbers
These have been ordered for some time.
but delivery is not promised for several
weeks yet.
In the meantime the development of the
mine Is progressing steadily and there is
now in sight more than a years supply
OF ore for the big mill. which is designed
with view TO readily increasing its ca
pacity fifty tons or more.

SALT LAKERS BUY
INTO THE LEE DISTRICT

Rhyolite, New, March 2.-B. A. Per-
kins of Salt Lake, with R Y Gardner. is
representing Salt Lake capital in the
Lee district. MIR. Perkins has completed
the purchase of a group of properties at
the foot of BurrO mountain within a
mile Of Lee, Cal, and has deposited a
large sum Of money in the Rhyolite
banks for immediate development work
Three parallel veins of quartz charac-
ter1stic of the Lee district runs through
the property that the Salt Lakers have
purchased The veins are from three TO
fourteen feet wide with values at the
surface running from $50 to $50 a ton in
free gold, while random assays along the
ledge ran as high as $40. 10 to the ton.
This group of claims was purchased by
Salt Lake capital some weeks ago on
the advice of Engineer Perkins and his
return to southern Nevada heralds the
approach of the machinery that he has
ordered shipped to the property
As soon as the mine is well opened gas
Oltne engines and hoists will be set up up
on the property and wagon train
for the transportation OF supplies and
water has been purchased There will be
no stock from this company put upon
the market as the hackers of the enter
prise, which includes Lafayette Hoibrook
N P Porter, Joseph Nelson, Joseph
Oberndorfer. Edward Evans and ]. How
ard Garrett, believe that the property is
too good to allow the fiotation of cap
itai stock In speaking of the district,
Mr. Perkins said:
IT am convinced that the Lee district
is one of the best and biggest in the
country The mere fact that the railroads
are so anxious 10 get their lines into
the country is a criterion for investment
Water is now all that is required for
the development OF the district and that
will be provided at once as the Ash
Meadows company and a company inter-
ested at Furnace Creek, both are inter-
asted in obtaining the water privilege of
the district.
The plan is to pump to the top of the
range where a reservoir will be built and
the flow to the various mines in Echo
and Burro canyons will be by gravity.
II TIE water system is installed before
the end of the year. before the first ex-
element over the mines is allowed TO die
out. there is no telling to what ends the
development of the country may be car
riod in the heat of excitement"

WESTERN MINING STATUS.
Well Known Engineer Gives His
Views on Copper.

James w. Neill. the welI-known mining
engineer, formerly general manager of the
cd in sose5 Pre- Rpropsrs land
having inspected the East Butte prop
critics, for which he is consulting engi-
neer. and having conducted an examina-
ton of the properties taken over by the
Boston & Corbin company. In an inter-
view With the Boston News Bureau he
tells Of conditions in the western camps
predicts 80 cent copper before the end of
the year and says the increased output of
the red metal will be slight this year, as
follows:
The only limit to mining activity in
the west is the inability to get materials
for construction, coal for power, and la
Dor for the mines and mills. There is no
other cloud on the horizon that anybody
actually at work can see. We dig the
money out of the ground there, so that
we don't have 20 ask for new money,
except for promotion
The most surprising thing I have no.
ticed since / have been east. both in New
York and Boston. is the fact that people
are feeling blue as to the outlook. Our
railroads haven't engines enough to pull
the cars and anybody travelling in the
west now gets in the habit of arriving
late because his train has been side
tracked to let freight trains pass.
During the months of January and
February the production of copper has
been low. owing to the severe weather
and shortage of coal The talk of labor
agitation in Butte will undoubtedly be
amicably settled, as the miners union
there is a very well-governed orderly
body and the Amalgamated company in
the hands of John d. Ryan is entirely
equal to the occasion
Smaller properties in Butte simply
have to pay the union scale and ask no
questions and high wages are hard on
company that is just prospecting and
therefore not enjoying 25-cent copper
prices but nobody grumbles.
Il see no immediate prospects of in
creased copper production from the Butte
camp. for the reason that the milling and
smelling facilities are now taxed to their
utmost. A future big increase In pr0duc-
ton in the Butte camp should come in
time from the Butte Coalition and Davis
DAILY Estate properties but l do not be-
lieve the latter company will be able to
produce much this year. There Is abso-
lutely no question as to the existence of
rich ore bodies running through the Da-
vis-Daly territory, but Ii takes time to
get at this ore and open it up
Copper will be SO cents per pound be-
fore It is Is cents. in my opinion There
are no large producers coming in for sew
eral years. The Cerro de Pasco is two
not produce before 1908 at the earliest
neither will Utah be able to increase much
before 1908. Butte has been increasing
from TO per cent annually in its cop
per production. but 1t cannot keep this up
without increasing its smelter facilities
There is nothing IN California that will
permit of much of an increase this year
for | do not believe that the Balaklala
smelter will be finished much before 1903
Arizona will show the largest increase
again this year"

CAMPAIGN is MAPPED OUT
MINING WILL BE DONE AT
THREE POINTS.

The City Rocks Mining company, oper-
ating at Alta, is now in shape for the
campaign of development that it has been
anxious to carry out since the day of its
Incorporation. but which it was unable
to do because two or three small claims
located In the heart of its possessions had
not been taken over.
These interests have now all been
cleaned up" said James P. Edwards, sec
rotary and treasurer of the company, yes
terday, land we shall now proceed to get
down TO business. We have been mining
exclusively in a splendid fissure up TO
the present time, but we were not in a
position to reach the contact at the points
we wanted to without cutting into or
through one or more of the three claims
that cut up our main possessions. Just
as soon as we can get supplies onto the
ground we shall begin attacking the great
contact at three different points and, by
the time / come out from Calumet again.
in May. expect that we shall be produc-
ing ore from each place.
AT one place, where we started to blast
out for a powder house last fall, we
walked right into the ore ore that car
Ties from to IL per cent copper and an
iron excess Of IS per cent, together with
some values in silver and gold. This
ore has been opened up for eight feet and
we shall now go right on developing the
body that is apparently rich right from
the grass roots. Since the roads were
closed TO hauling we have broken down
over 200 tons of ore of good grade that is
now awaiting loading, and during the
same time, few weeks we have added
800 or eco tons more to the reserves in
the mine With our property rounded
into one big. solid group of claims, we
are now ready to cut loose. and that is
what we intend to do without unneces-
sary delay"
Mr.. Edwards will leave for home today,
where he will submit reports to his as
sociates on both the City Rocks and the
Sheba coTnpany's property, in Humboldt
county, Nevada, as well.

SUPPORT REFORM.
New York Republican Club Favors Pc
lice and Public Utilities Bill.

NEW YORK, March 19.-The Republican
Club last night decided to support the Bing-
ham police bill and the public utilities meas
ure. But it was not until after long de-
bate that this action was taken. There were
many speakers who objected to committing
the club to either bill.
In the discussion on the police bill the
members who objected contended that while
Cen Bingham could be depended upon not
to use the powers the bill conferred on the
head of the department for political pur-
poses, there might come a time when a
politician would be put in charge Of the de-
partment, and that it was safe to predict
that such commissioner would take adj
vantage of the power to make and unmake
inspectors and detective sergeants for pure.
ly political ends.
Similarly in the discussion on the public
utilities bill 1t was argued that the right of
removal OF the members of the proposed
commissions reserved for the governor
might prove menace to the corporate and
transit interests of the city.
Ultimately resolutions approving both bills
were adopted by large majorites and COM
mittees were appointed to go to Albany to
urge the passage of the measures.
The City Club, at meeting held last
night, committed itself to the support of
Gov. Hughes public utilities bill AL
though there were some differences of opin-
ion expressed on some of the details of the
measure resolution indorsing the general
policy of the governor as outlined in the
measure was unanimously adopted
The agitation which was started some
time ago by the younger element of the club
for the changing of the rules so that the
officers of the club should be elected by the
members as a whole instead of by the trus-
tees was finally disposed of last night when
a resolution was adopted leaving the cleo
ton IN the hands of the trustees.
