Production Considered Assured

President Alfred Carr of the Gold
Mountain company is here from a
visit with Superintendent Clapp of
the GirouX. Mr.. Clapp will go east
from here. OF visit he paid Salt
Lake on his way to this city, the Salt
Lake Tribune has the following:
After general study of conditions
at the properties, in which Engineers
S. H. Levy and j. w. Wade partici-
pated, President Alfred Carr of the
Gold Mountain Consolidated company
is back from camp and preparing for
a trip to Ely before returning to his
home in New York. Since the ac-
quirement of the properties of the
Annie Laurie company last spring,
Mr.. Carr's company has done a ire
mendous amount of work in the way
of repairing and re-cquipping the An
ME Laurie mill, the power plants and
the mine at Gold mountain, Sewer
county.
I'VE have been doing splendidly,
all things considered, said Mr.. Carr
when seen yesterday, "but we are
not at all satisfied yet. 1t is evident
that we shall have to build new
mill and that work will be taken up
as early in the spring as possible
This work will not entail as much
expense as it would otherwise do be-
cause most of the equipment of the
present plant can be utilized. The
present methods will not do. 1t
costs too much to operate the plant
and the losses by using the dry
f,r in oil
eXtravagant and withal unnecessary
The wet process will be substituted
and through it we shall be able to
treat a great deal more ore with the
same amount of power that is re-
quired to run the present plant
las it is we are turning out bet
ter than 900 worth of bullion a
day. During the month of September
we handled 6,UVO tons of ore with
the headings averaging $40. We
cleaned up an average of 81 ,19S.15
a day. The headings for Novem Der
averaged over IS. From September
II to October 0 we deposited in Nc
Cornick's bank bullion checks to the
amount of So 900 and we have now
made arrangements by which all de-
works will be settled for through
the shipment of coin. Through the
financial mix-up we have been incon-
venienced to some extent, like most
everybody else, but from now on we
shall get along all right"
After the requirement of the An
ME Laurie company's mines and the
ground of the Kimberly Mining COM
pany, the Gold Mountain CONSOLIDATE
ed company's possessions were round
ed out to 200 acres of patented min
ing claims. This tremendous terri
tory has been opened up with miles
and miles of workings and the man
agement declares that no one living
in this age will survive to see the
day when dividend earnings cease in
the properties, once they are COM
under proper methods of
mining and milling such as are now
just beginning to be introduced at the
Through the No. 5. tun-
mel the Annie Laurie ledge is being
opened at depth that will approx
innate 800 feet. In these workings
there are millions of tons of SIS ore
opened up. The ledge averages 35
feet thick.
BY and by tunnel will he started
from the Mammoth side of the COM
pany's possessions and the ground
will be opened to an approximate
depth of 5000 feet, or rather there
will be 5000 feet of backs in the
ledge. Then the company controls
a long stretch of the rich Blue Bird
vein and the vein, also, that has made
so rich in the Sewer Consolidated.
1t also owns the great Mammoth
ledge system and that found in the
Kimberly ground as we'll
I'm the rounding up of all of these
properties, in their development and
equipment, said Mr.. Carr there
has been expended in the neighbour
mood of $2,500.000, and when the
present company's plans are perfect
ed we shall have gold mine such
as cannot be found elsewhere in the
world 1t is a lar greater property
than the famous Homestake and its
ores are more than twice as valuable.
These properties have all gone
through the experimental stages,
both in the methods of development
and the treatment of the ores. Many
mistakes have been made and we are
ready to profit by them. The real,
steady, lasting, dividend paying ca
reer of these mines is about to be-
gin. They will be producing and
paying long after we are dead and
forgotten"
