TWO RAILROADS
FOR GREENWATER

Nevada newspapers announce that
the Salt Lake railroad system will be
extended to the Greenwater district. j.
Ross Clark, vice president and gen.
eral manager of the San Pedro & Salt
Lake railway, and president of the Las
Vegas & Tonopah railway, has author
lied this statement. Mr. Clark said:
I'VE have kept pretty close tab on the
Greenwater district, and have deter
mined to build In there 1t is a good
country. I have seen many copper
camps, but I can say, after personal
inspection, that I have never seen sur
face showings so favorable for good
copper mines. That these indications
hold with development 1 am reliably in
formed We are we'll satisfied that the
district has future, and we are going
to build a branch from the Las Vegas
& Tonopah road.
1.-The two railroads now assured will
give excellent service. The Salt Lake
route will afford direct access to the
custom smelters of Utah, and the Tono-
pah & Tidewater, through the Santa
Fe, will give equally direct access to
Arizona smelters. This is a highly de-
sirable situation for any young copper
camp.
IF, with proper development, the
Greenwater district makes good it's
smelling plants will be established at
points where sufficient water can be
secured.
"The fact that after a few months
only of development two railway COM
panies have undertaken to build
branches to this copper district is very
good evidence that the work accom-
plished has shown payable ore in con-
siderable quantity and that indications
point strongly to a continuation of
"a aUora hle conditions "

worth $4, $50, 800 gold. The company,
which is n French corporation in which
the Rothschilds are heavily Interested,
has It's own smelter In which It handled
last year a total of 302, 400 tons Of ore.
The copper production in round num-
bers was 100000 kilos. Coke, i'm
ported from Cardiff, Wales, aggregated
4140 tons. The company's yearly pay
roll approximated 81 800, 5000. Both the
town and port OF Santa Rosalia are
controlled absolutely by the company,
which owns the stores, butcher shops
and bakery, and which maintains q
bath house and theater for It's en-

WEALTH OF SHASTA
MINES MARVELLOUS
Extent of the Rich Copper Zone Greater Than
Butte District Copper Company
Building Railroad to Handle Ore

Recent developments in the cele-
brated Shasta, California, copper sec
tlon warrant the statement that the
stupendous copper resources of Shasta
county, their amazing extent and
demonstrated richness, are almost in
credible. While the interest of the
mining world Is centering more and
more in this district, not more than
an inklng of the enormous scope OF
Shastas copper bearing zones has yet
reached beyond the conflne of the
county, unless 1t be to such distances
as Salt Lake, New York, Boston and
London.
The Butte district, for illustration,
says the Reddlng Searchlight, is con-
fined to territory a mile square. The
ore bodies there are, of course, enor-
nous, rich and of unknown depth. 1t
is not sought to minimize the Butte
district. In Shasta county the dis
trict Is Of unknown extent and affords
no comparison to be easily grasped
and appreciated.
Great BaIakIaIa Group
"The reaccr however, will be able to
appreciate in it's comparative aspects
the statement that the Balaklala
group alone one of the great copper
mines OF this district, covers two miles
square, or territory twice the eX-
tent of the entire Butte district.
Fully 100 tunnels on the Balaklala
mine are every one in ore.
lover n year ago the main working
tunnel of the Balaklala was in dis
tance of 11O0 feet, ore being encoun-
tered eighty feet from the mouth of
the tunnel and continuing in for the
rest of the 100 feet.
"Out of the mouth of this main
working tunnel, at that time, was
flowing to waste in gulch a stream
of copper water filling an ordinary
sluicebox to a depth of nearly four
inches. Whether this water carried
recoverable values worth saving 1t Is
not here presumed to state, but such
q flow Of leach at the Iron Mountain
mine, in its heyday, was popularity sup
posed to represent in the watts In the
neighborhood of a thousand dollars &
day.
1.-THE Balaklala Is but one of many
great mines on the Shasta copper belt,
representing a district where a dozen
immense smelters may employ thou
sands of men and build populous towns
and cities"
Mountain Copper SmeIter
REDDING, Feb. 1.-THE Mountain
Copper company's smelter, the second
largest in Shasta county, is being re-
habilitated and seventy-five men are
now employed in and around the
works, where a month ago only a lono
watchman stirred. The cause Of all
this activity Is in getting ready to
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-18

treat the ores from the Hornet mine
owned by the company.
The company has changed its plan
for building railroad to the Hornet
and now instead of constructing an
electric road, steam will be used and
the line Will go direct to the mine. The
former plans were to terminate the
road 400 feet below the mine and to con-
vey the ore from the dumps through a
shoot The new road will tap the COM
pany's road to Iron mountain at Boul-
der creek. The new arrangement VIII
lengthen the road almost q mile to
overcome the elevation of 400 feet, but
in the long run II will be cheaper, for
the shoot will not be maintained and
hoist for hauling timbers and sup
plies from the road will not be put in.
The Hornet mine, few miles from
the Mountain Copper company's big
property at Iron mountain, Is said to
be the largest deposit Of copper ore in
the state. The ore Is of low grade,
but will pay for treatment on the
large scale proposed. A new tunnel at
a lower level Is being run on the mine,
and in order to prosecute this work the
company Is hauling timbers and other
material over the mountain roads, q
distance of three miles. The timbers
are to be used to make the mine Sc
cure ana 10 pull0 DulhHeduS anu oAo
bins.
Building Railroad
Construction of the road has already
begun and every man making applica-
ton Is given work on the grades. 1t
Is stated that the road will be COM
pleted inside of a year and by that
time the smeter at Keswick Will be
ready to handle the raw ore and re-
duce it into copper bullion.
The Mountain Copper company's
smelter has been idle for several
years. 1t was closed down soon
after the labor troubles and most
of the machinery removed to Mar
tinez, where the company has
erected large reduction plant.
Since the shutdown Keswick has been
virtually dead, but now has taken on
new life and boom Is predicted for
the property which a few months ago
was not worth one-tenth it's original
value.
Old-timers are drifting back into
Keswick and many of the houses which
have been tenantless are already spoken
for. The news of the reopening of
Keswick smeter Is the best that has
been given out in the county for sew
eral years. With the big plant again
running Shasta county will reach first
place on the list of mineral-producing
counties in the state. When the smell
ter reopens there will be five large
smelling plants in the country in opera
ton, and these will give employment
to over 5000 men, not counting the men
employed in the mines, which will
probably be over 1000 more.

Montana Mining Values

1t is estimated that the increased
value of mining property in Montana
during the last year. due to new dis
coveries, successful development of old
and the increased value of mine pro-
ducts, will amount to at least 100000
600 gold. The assay office receipts for
the period named were $2275, 642, as
compared with $2,195,452 for the year
previous, an increase of $50, 7S0.
