UBEHEBE IS IN
SHIPPING CLASS
OFFICIALS ARE ON THE WAY TO
LOOK AFTER THE INITIAL
SHIPMENT.
ubehebe is DO be a shipper.

Ubehebe is TO be shipper.
John Salsberry. of the Ubehebe
Mines and Smelter Company. has
shipped ten thousand ore sacks to
the company's mine, and yesterday. !
accompanied by his mine manager,
Ray Baker, he left for Ubehebe 10
superintend the first shipment.
The copper is in the mines and the
men of Ubehebe are busy taking it
out. The present price of copper
presents no obstacle to the shippers,
for the reason that the ore is of such
a high grade that the price of the
metal might go still lower and Ube-
hebe ship at profit.
Not only that, but there is con-
siderable high grade gold ore in that
wonderful country, and that pays TO
ship in any circumstance About ten
burros sent into Ubehebe Therl are
twenty-five of the little pack animals
in all. and they are to be used to pack
the ore down the mountain sides to
the wagons in the valley below All
this is very picturesque and is the
method of mining pursued in the
Andes. But the picturesqueness will
soon disappear, and give way to the
most approved modern methods of
mining, when the big tunnel is prop
erly equipped
Accompanying Messrs. Salsberry
and Baker on the trip yesterday were
Mr.. Lindell, formerly of Manhattan,
and Mrs. Kanters, wife of the super
intendent of the company. Mr.. Baker
returned only Sunday morning with
several other gentlemen, among them
being George w. Baker, his father.
Mr.. Baker, while being one of the
most prominent attorneys in the
: West, is an old Nevadan, and is &C
! customed to mines in their various
: degrees of development. He had
heard much of the Ubehebe country
long before coming here on this trip
and was somewhat prepared for the
. sights he was to see, but the magni-
. tude of the proposition and the plan
. of operations, he confessed astound.
