MINES AND MINING

Utah Consolidated stood the pres,
sure of the heavy liquidation and bear
selling better than almost any other
active stock on the list.
The work of retimbering the burn
ed shaft of the Utah companys mine
at Fish Springs is progressing stead
ily and it will not be long till it is fin
ished.
Big things are expected from the
Oxarna Gold Mining eompany's mine,
near Custer, Idaho, as soon as the
snow disappears, and it is possible
to start up the 20-stamp mill, which
was installed last tall.
After some time lost in securing
and installing powerful equipment,
the Mcdonald Ely company has start
ed three shifts at work upon the Gold
en- Gate shaft, and progress from now
on should be redoubled.
1t has been demonstrated that the
waters flowing through and from be-
meath the ore bodies of the Ely, Ne
vada district. are SO thoroughly i'm
pregnated with copper, that they are
of high commercial value.
Davenport is located between the
new town of Farrell and Mazuma on a
beautiful plat, we'll watered, at the
mouth of Burnt canyon. Many valua-
BILE properties are developing in this
section of Seven Troughs district.
Some strong investors from Min
nesota have been going over the iron
deposits of Iron county, Utah, pretty
thoroughly of late, gathering in all
that remained unspoken for, and pur-
chasing much that was owned by
others.
The latest acquisition to the district
of Seven Troughs in the shape Of a
new camp is the town OF Farrell, sit
uated about seven miles northeast OF
Vernon, and located at the entrance
to what has been known as Stone
House canyon.
A strong combination of well known
Salt Lakers has been formed for the
purpose of taking over gold and
copper proposition in the noted old
Bullion district of Nevada. The prop.
erty is located about one and half
miles from Tenabo.
There is plenty of money in the
East, more than ever before in the
history of the country, and it is anx-
ious to be placed right; but when it
comes to being placed upon mining
stock scheme, it is very timid. The
fasteners have to be shown.
DeLamar Idaho, is taking on new
life. Since the new cyanide mill has
proved to be such success the de-
mand for men is increasing. The de-
mand is being met only in part. Each
stage comes in loaded with men who
are to be put to work Immediately.
Fire has broken out in No. stope
of the Comox mines, in British Column
bia. No loss of life occurred, the
large staff of miners making their es-
cape. Over 1000 miners are en-
ployed in the mine alone, where R.
Dunsmuir S Sons mine the bulk OF
their coal product in the Comox dis
trict.
High grade sulphide copper ore is
now being encountered in the tunnel
on the property of the Ogden Buck
horn Mining company, which is oper-
ating mines in Cold Water canyon,
just east of Ogden. The tunnel was
run for 26O feet and, at depth of 225
feet from the surface, the rich ore
was struck.
To secure the repeal of the trouble
some Apex law, the source Of nearly
all the litigation that has harassed
owners of mines, will be the aim of a
committee appointed by President j.
H. Richards of the American Mining
Congress. This committee will draft
vertical side line law which will do
away altogether with extra lateral
rights.
Shipments from the mines and
leases of Goldfield district are averag-
ing about 1,500 tons per week. The
Combination, Jumbo and Mohawk
mines are regularly in the market,
and some leases which are steady
contributors are the Frances Dump,
Loftus-Davis, McNaughton, Mohawk
Jumbo, Morton-Beesley, Oddie, Truett
and Quartzite.
After two weeks trial at Denver,
decision was given in favor of the
Stratton independence Mining COM
pany, limited, of London, Eng, and
its lessees in the suit of the Portland
Gold Mining company to recover the
