GOLD RUN DISTRICT
WILL Be GOOD PAYER
HIGH VALUES FOUND ON LEADS
SUPPOSEDLY BARREN, But
SOURCES OF PLACER BEDS.

A number of prominent mining
men have visited the Gold Run dis
trict, near Golconda, during the past
month and things ars assuming shape
for greater development work on
many properties before very long. A
number of transfers of claims are re-
ported, but SO far are not in shape
to be made public.
On the properties recently sold
companies have been formed and
preparations are being made to start
work. There are very
few camps in the state that have the
showings of shipping ore that are eX-
posed on the many claims in this dis
trict. In the Gold Run basin there is
a network of veins and the most of
them contain shipping ore.
Shafts are being sunk on large
dykes or leads that were before sup
posed to be barren, but are now fast
making mines with ore that carries
good values in gold. These dykes
are now thought to be the lodges that
supplied the placer gold for the creek
beds below 1t was from the placer
deposits that the camp received the
name of Gold Run.
Golconda, the railroad town of the
district, is a good supply point with
advantages to many much
larger towns.

MINERS
CONTINUE ACTIVITY
SHIPMENTS OF HIGH GRADE Co
ING ON FROM SUBSTAN-
TIAL CAMP.

The Osceola mine at Palisade has
increased it's force to twenty-five men
and is sinking Wine on the new
ore shoot recently uncovered in the
crosscut tunnel. They still maintain
their regular shipments of two cars
or more a month. The cars are net
ting $5,720 each, high grade silver,
lead and about per cent copper.
The Palisade-Pittsburg people are
still driving their crosscut tunnel, in
tending to cut their ledge at about
800 feet. They are in at present 220
feet The face of the tunnel looks
well and would indicate the near ap-
,proach to an ore body. The ledge
for which they are running is an iron
cap with a width of from forty to
fifty feet. They are employing twelve
men.
The iron mine f1uxing ore main
tains it's regular smelter shipments of
four or five cars daily and gives en-
ployment to twenty men.
The Delmas property in Lee can
yon, which was opened last July, has
shipped eight cars of high grade cop
per and silver ore and is prosecuting
work on the ore bodies and develop
ing with a full crew.
A bond was taken recently on ten
claims of the Benson group by Reno
parties, who anticipate financing the
same in the east.
Owing to the flow of water work
in the Copper Queen group of claims
has been suspended temporarily
pending the arrival of pump. This
group is the property of a Philadel-
phia syndicate.
A vein of high grade copper-silver
ore was encountered in the face of
the tunnel on the Hawkins group of
claims and development work is be-
ing pushed by the owners.
An eight foot vein of lead-silver
ore has been exposed on group of
claims owned by Walt Morrissey and
associates. two and one-half miles
west of Palisade and adjoining the
Palisade-Pittsburg group.

UTAH OIL MAN TALKS
DEVELOPMENTS THERE

A. M. CoStenady was an arrival in
the city last evening from Lund and
the Virgin oil fields, off from the Salt
Lake railroad in southern Utah. Mr..
| Costenady went from here to the
new oil country about two weeks ago
and has since made locations of
ground in the oil belt on which he
expects to form company and ar
range for sinking at the earliest pos
sible date.
Much activity prevails in the field
Mr. Costenady states, and interest
is growing apace. Small producers
have been opened at comparatively
shallow depth. Oil men now in the
| field believe that these wells at from
800 to 1000 feet will enter a big
reservoir which they find warrant for
expecting in the formation that has
so far been demonstrated AS yet
there has been no time to make pro-
vision for such emergency as the
striking of gusher at lower depths
in the formation would bring about
and in consequence the small produc-
ing wells are being left alone in the
matter of further drilling until prep
arations can be made for taking care
of big flow. The formation being
operated in is said to be almost iden-
teal with that which prevails in
southern California. The history of
the latter fields would bear out the
theory advanced for the Virgin coun-
try, namely that a great oil basin
will be encountered at depth. The
southern California field, particular
ly that of the Santa Fe railroad
north of Anoheim, was for some
years operated through shallow wells
which pumped from nine to twenty
one barrels day. Then came deep
well, which at 1000 feet exhausted
the funds of the operator, James
LOTUS He found himself unable to
borrow money with which to continue
the few hundred feet more which he
was confident would bring him a
gusher Unable to raise money, he
assembled his men, stated the stu
alton and told them that those who
remained would not be forgotten in
the event of success. All but few
remained on the work, which within
twenty-four hours brought in 1900
barrel flow, drenching the country
with oil. Subsequently all the wells in
the field were put down to the big
basin with similar results. The field
has to this time shown steady gain
in production. 1t has been produc-
ing on a large scale for about seven
years.
Stage lines are now operating be-
tween Virgin and Goldfield. Many
people of the latter place and of Ton
opah have become interested in the
oil field and are rushing things in
! the vigorous gold country way At
! Lund, the railroad station, buildings
have sprung up and accommodations
have been made for the public
Teams have been brought in and a
number of freighting outfits are be-
ing kept busy hauling supplies and
drilling equipment to the oil field,

BINGHAM AND ELY ARE
CAREFULLY COMPARED
TWO GREAT COPPER CAMPS OF
UTAH AND NEVADA SUBJECT
OF DISCUSSION.

The two greatest of the new cop
per mining districts now being de-
veloped in the United States are Bing-
ham and Ely, the combined produc-
ton of which by the middle of 1908
ought to be at the rate of nearly
10, 100000 pounds per annum, says
the Engineering and Mining Journal.
(This, of course, refers only to the
porphyry ore of Bingham and ex-
cludes the sulphide ore from which
production has heretofore been going
on.) All of this will be comparative
ly cheap copper, the probable cost of
production to the two companies of
bingham being in the neighborhood
of 7 cents per pound, while the cost
for large part of the production at
Ely will be about the same, for part
little lower.
In many respects the conditions at
the two districts are similar. In both
cases the ore is chalcocite and chal-
copyrite finely disseminated in mon
Zonite; in both cases the ore bodies
are of immense size; and in both
cases the conditions are favorable to
cheap mining. Operations in the two
districts are being carried on with a
magnitude that is almost bewilder-
ing. The two mines at Bingham will
produce 10000 tons of ore per day;
the four mines at Ely will produce
$500 tons of ore per day. The ore
of Ely will assay 20 to 3 per cent
copper; that of Bingham about 1.S
per cent. The disadvantages of the
lower grade of the ore at Bingham,
and the finer dissemination of the
mineral (Which leads to lower per-
centage of extraction in milling) are
quite offset by the ability to mine
more cheaply, larger proportion of
the ore being capable of extraction by
steam shovel than at Ely.

The Dollar and the Peso.

The question in Mexico of what a
dollar" means has recently been au-
thoritatively settled. The depart
ment of finance has decided that the
word dollar" shall mean the Amer
lean gold dollars, and that when the
Mexican silver dollar is meant the
word peso" shall be employed.
The official decision recalls the in
cident that some time ago an Ameri-
can resident at Tampico wrote dol
lars on a check and the Tampico
bank cashier to whom the check was
presented paid the amount in gold
values. The drawer of the check
claimed that it was his intention to
have silver paid. Litigation was
threatened. but upon investigation
the authorities decided against the
drawer of the check. The Mexican
ruling applies to all documents-
notes, drafts, etc.-Mining World.

NEVADA WONDER HAS
ORE FOR SHIPMENT

Over sixty tons of ore in value from
$3.50 to $500 per ton are now stacked
up at the ore house on the Nevada
Wonder, Notwithstanding that several
shipments have been sent out.
The 500 foot level will be reached
in few days in the main shaft on
the Wonder and then prosecuting to
the veins will be commenced, and ac-
cording to calculations they should be
cut within a very short distance. In
fact, less. than two feet of work
should cut the two main lodges, and
possibly another if expectations are
correct
The shaft on the Extension is down
275 feet, but has not yet passed
through the lava, and it is possible
that prosecuting from this shaft will
be commenced before it gets below
the flow.

RAMSEY WILL
REDUCE CAPITALIZATION

At the next meeting of the direc-
tors of the Ramsey-Wonder Mining
company the capitalization will be re-
duced from 100000 shares to H.
100000 shares, and the wonderful
Mizpah claims of the Fairview dis
trict will be made assets of the com
pany.
Already groups of claims situated
in all the promising districts of this
state are included in this progressive
company's holdings. and with the ac-
quisition of the MiZpah claims, the
company will be one of the states
strongest companies.
To D. j. Kennedy, the manager of
this company, belongs in large part
the credit that is bound to accrue to
every holder of Ramsey-Wonder
stock.

MANY PROSECUTORS GO
TO GOLD CIRCLE DISTRICT

Golden Circle, in Squaw valley, is
still the center of attraction for the
gold seekers and many prospectors
and mining men are daily leaving
Golconda for the new camp. Samples
continue to be brought in which are
equally as rich as those with which
Bamberger caused the stampede a
few weeks ago.
Never before in the history of Col
conda has such rich rock been
brought in as that which is com
ing from Squaw valley. And there is
so much of it-not few colors on
the ore, but large patches OF yellow
gold. It surely is picture ore.
Ever since the strike was made
public a large number of prospectors
have come to Golconda to outfit, for
without doubt this place is the
nearest supply point over valley
road stage line from Gonconda
runs to Glover valley, only few
miles from the camp.

STRIKE THREATENED IN
SOUTHERN COAL FIELDS

DENVER, Colo, Oct. 29.-The Col
orado Fuel e Iron company and the
United Mine Workers of America
are preparing for struggle and a
general strike in the southern coal
fields is expected November l. The
coal miners will ask for recognition
of the union, an eight hour day and
the same scale of wages as is now be-
ing paid in the northern fields.
The miners have been organized
secretly and the company has been
engaged in laying plans to combat the
unions. The company is preparing to
reduce it's output of coke because of
closing down of the copper mines in
Arizona and the miners thrown out
in the district will be brought to Col
orado in the event of a strike here.

Miners Will Not Strike.

There was a meeting of the West
ern Federations of Miners at Blair
last week for the purpose of voting
on the proposition to declare SYM
pathetic strike with the men who
had walked out from the Nevada
Light & Power company's plant at
Bishop, Cal. The question was
whether the power company should
be declared unfair, and in conse-
uuence the miners should quit work.
The proposition was voted down by
a vote of 1874 to 5.

will transmit, depending upon their
number and speed, multiply the
square of the diameter of rope in
inches by the velocity in feet per
minute and divide by 200; the re-
suit will be the power which may
