 The Boston Transcript of March II, contains a write-up of the rail- road situation in southwestern Alaska, purporting to come from some resident of Valdez. The arti- cle cays that the Valdez route had to be abandoned on account of the impossible grades encountered, and that the Catalla route is the only feasible one Speaking of the statement that the Guggenheim in- terests are trying to corrall all of the properties in the copper belt, the article says there is no founda- ton for the report. as any resident of Valdez knows. The author of this article has handled the facts rather carelassly. Ii he can find a dozen people in this section who will agree with the statements in this article he will do we'll. As regards the comparative merits Of the two railroad routes some of the best engineers who have visited the country say there Is no ground for comparison, the cost of building up Copper river being practically prohib.tive, while a road can be built from Valdez with ease.

for that reason the order went out to
cut down the working forces, with
the result already stated. The trans

so contributed towards bringing,
about this shut down process.

RUNS OVER 5000.
Brown Palace Ore Is Exceedingly
Rich,

While definite confirmation of the
news is practically impossible in 10
cal circles, there was so well-defined
rumor going the rounds in this city
Saturday regarding the shipments OF
the Brown Palace property in the
Rosebud camp that it was generally
accepted. The rumor in affect was
that the Brown Palace ore now be-
ing marketed runs over 5000 to the
ton in gold and silver, or at an alti-
tude fully up to expectations of all
who have watched this property from
the first day of the Rosebud excite
ment. While the figure exceeds the
level set by Malcolm Macdonald dur
ing his recent visit in Salt Lake, the
fact that he gave the ore plenty of
range, from $4OO to $500 or over
per ton, gives added reason to ex-
pect the level above mentioned.
The Brown Palace property at
Rosebud is one of the numerous Ne
yada properties, supposedly acquired
by Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel king,
during his two years or more activ-
ity in that state. The management
has not done great deal of work,
but more than enough has been ac-
complished to demonstrate not only
the merits of the group, but of the
whole district as WELL The owners
at present are understood to be add
ing to the force at the mine, and
shipments are certain to be continued
indefinitely. If they keep running
like the consignment above mention
ed it will not be long until Rosebud
is seething hive of activity, as it's
mineral resources so richly merit.

is being sacked preparatory to ship
ment. At present about fifty tons
OF shipping ore have been removed in
the course of development and this
amount is being increased at the rate
OF about two tons per day. These
gentlemen contemplate shipping q
car OF ore to Salt Lake City the lat

that time on they expect to make
regular shipments; though It is their
purpose only to remove the ore that
may be necessary in advancing de-

seven miles west Of town and com
prises sixteen claims.
The existence of three well de-
fined parallel veins running through
the entire length of the group has
been proven and opened up by more
than 1000 feet of open cuts and

sunk to depth OF $50 feet and from
$50 to 400 feet of drifting done.
Though the property evinces evidence
of being magnificent milling prop

At BELLEHELEN
ARRIVAL FROM CAMP REPORTS
EVERYTHING THERE Is
SATISFACTORY.

A. +. iocom arrived yesterday from
Belle Helen and reports that every
thing in that camp is in a most salts
factory condition. There is lots of
work going on, plenty of develop
ment being done, and the ore is be-
ing taken out in most pleasing guam
titles.
In the Neversweat, Mr.. Aiken
and his associates are sinking to tap
the ledge. They are down about
twenty or thirty feet and the surfac )
showings are most excellent, the VAL
ues, in some instances. going away
up into the hundreds. They are also
going to drive tunnel, and three
or four days ago four-horse team
arrived with a load of rails and other
supplies for doing the work.
Mr.. Wall is sinking ON a vein
three feet wide, He is about ten
miles north of Aiken, and he got in
silver as high as 600 ounces. 1t is
a kind of tale seam that carries
the values. Mr.. Buck, who adjoins
Mr.. Wall, has a tunnel in about four
hundred feet and he is getting as
says that go as high as 500 a ton.
The ledge in the tunnel has about
$50 feet of backings.
Craig Brothers have sold their
property to the Columbus Nevada.
Dan Wendell, the general manager of
the latter company. closed the deal
the other day. Adjoining the Craig
property is the Augustenack proper
ty, which has been leased and bond
ed by four men. One shipment has
already been made to Goldfield. and
there is another ready to go to Halves
Canyon, between Golden Arrow and
Belle Helen, where it will be milled.
The Nelly BLY, claims are showing
up very well indeed, They are down
forty-five feet and for the last thirty
feet they have not hauled up a pound
of waste. There is small streak
on the footwall three inches in width
which will assay from $1,000 to
$4,000. The average value is $3.50.
The Lawrence property has a
shaft down to depth of seventy-five
feet and is prosecuting for the vein.
They are getting small values. Frank
Hellam of the Original Horseshoe, is
about to resume operations. The
shaft was down fifty feet, and cross
cutting had been begun. The Elite
has sunk forty-five feet and has cut
eight feet of ore, from which they
are getting good milling values

Some Low Grade Mines are Being
Shut Down.
Some of the copper mines which
have been operated at profit dur
ing the past year or two have begun
to feel the effects of the late drop in
the price of the metal. While some
of the larger operators have given
orders to curtail their output of low
grade ores, others have ceased oper-
ations altogether,
The Majestic Copper company was
the first Utah company to close it's
mines and several days ago the news
came from Milford to the effect that
about sixty men had been dropped
from the pay rolls, and that produc-
ton had ceased. Now comes the in
formation from Bingham to the eff
feet that the management of the
Bingham Consolidated Mining and
Smelling company had closed its
commercial mine; which has been
producing on the basis of 200 tons
of ore daily for some time The
United States Smelling, Refining and
Mining company has also practically
suspended operations at the Bingham
properties and has let out employees
to the number of $50. The old Tel
egraph mine is out of commission
entirely and only a small number of
men are employed in the galena
mine. The company is shipping
about 125 tons of ore daily to its
smelter at Bingham Junction; whre-
as the production from these mines
was between 400 and 500 tons daily.
1t is well known fact that the
Old Telegraph. Galena and CONNER
cial mines were operated principally
for the iron sulphide ores which they
contained and which could be hand
led very advantageously as flux in
connection with the treatment of the
silicious ore from Tintic and some of
the Nevada camps. All the ore from
the foregoing named mines carries
some copper values-but in nearly
every instance these values are small.
At the present time the United States
company is treating the matte from

5. j. Flemming of Silver City, who,
with his wife and sons arrived in
Reno recently, tells of wonderful
strike of rich sulphide ore in the old
Independence mine of Silver City, of
which property he is the general
manager,
This strike is considered one of the
most important made for a long
time in this section of the country.
because it demonstrates the presence
of ore identical with the Ophir, OF
the Comstock, in the old Silver City
property, and in immense quantity.
The ledge found at the end of
3O0O-foot tunnel, on the 25O-foot
level, is demonstrated to be sixty
three feet wide and to average $50
ton, in its entirety, leaving no
waste whatever.
This same ledge, from seventy
seven feet, on an upper level, in the
oxidized material, once. some fifteen
years ago. produced $4,000 or just
$1,000 foot, and has, altogether, in
the past, produced 100000.
The former owners, when they got
into water, and were just coming to
sulphide ore, got into litigation at
the same time, and sold the mine to
the present owners, who have been
steadily at work since the day of
their purchase.
They have a ledge of immense
width and value for Is 600 feet and.
Judging by the depth Of the Com
stock mines, character of ore, forma-
ton and other things. the values
they have reason to expect below the
level on which the strike occurs.

SHIPPING ORE ON SURFACE.
Wonder Men Make Rich Discovery
South of Winncmucca.

VI w
Some of the young men of Wonder
who stampeded to the new strike to
the north last week have returned
with glowing accounts of the richness
of the find, and, upon the strength
of these reports, a considerable num-
Der of others have started this week
for the bonanza. The townsite,
which has already been laid out, has
been given the name of Gold Bank.
1t is situated about 100 miles due
north of Wonder. 40 miles south of
Winnemucca, and about 25 miles
southeast of the old mining camp of
Kennedy.
The original locations were made
by A. P. Smith of Wonder. who
started out some time ago on foot
and underwent numerous hardships
before he found the big lodges that
have created so much excitement.
Murray Scott. together with Joe
Ward and Happy" Hoolihan, made
quick trip over to the ground last
week, and found it to be even richer
than had been portrayed by Smith.
Scott took samples from 1900 feet
along the east ledge and found them
to average SIS in gold and silver,
with preponderance of the yellow
metal Three samples were taken
from another ledge, running parallel
to the east ledge 800 feet away, and
these samples gave the following
values: ST., $50 and $9S. Owing
to- the fact that there is an excellent
wagon road, with practically no
grade, from the scene of the strike
to the railroad at Winnemucca, $50
ore can be shipped to the smelter at
o good profit. Scott says that on
the surface there are many tons Of
rock of higher grade than this. which
can be shipped at once.
1T is the greatest showing | have
ever seen" he remarked. Il believe
we will have one of the biggest
mines in the State. =
Murray Scott will have general
charge of the property. 1t is his in
tention. just as soon as the location
work is done, to throw the ground
open to leasers. Wonder News.

STRIKE AT PHoNoLITE.
Paymaster Group Cuts the Mohawk
Duluth Rich Ledge,

teANA hNASA A4NNfSCs
A big strike on the Paymaster
group of claims in the Phonolite
district has caused excitement all
the way to Salt Lake, says the Inter.
Mountain Republican.
Word came by wire yesterday to
Sam A. King and 7. S. Wolcott that
the Paymaster tunnel had cut the
extension of the Mohawk Duluth rich
ledge and the town of Phonolite is
all worked up over the discovery.
King and Wolcott We're just engaged
IN rounding out the "details of in
cooperating the company which
takes over the Independence group
OF claims, occupying wide expanse
OF ground directly between the Mo-
hawk-Duluth's Amethyst Extension
and the Paymaster. The strike in
the Paymaster proves that the big
ledge of high grade ore simply can't
escape going through the Indepen-
dence ground. And that is why GER
tain Salt Lakers share the excite
ment of Phonolite.
The Paymaster's rich surface
showing was discovered by Wolcott
several months ago. He found out
groupings for width of ten to fif-
teen feet which showed an album
dance of the ore characteristic OF the
camp running up to $500 and $500
in value. A company was formed to
work the property and so good was
the showing that firm took the con-
tract for driving tunnel to the
ledge at the price OF 50 a foot, and
agreed to take the company's stock
at 20 cents a share for the entire
amount involved. The tunnel strikes
the ledge at about $50 feet in depth.
In the meantime the discovery OF
the Mohawk ore was made on the
Amethyst Extension claim and the
Mohawk-Duluth company was formed
to take it over. This company has a
modern plant on the ground and is
sinking a shaft on the vein. The
shaft is down about 55 feet and SO
good is the showing that offers OF
$3.50 a share for the companys
stock have been made during the last
two weeks without bringing any OF
it out.
Wolcott, who was pioneer in the
camp, took up the independence
group of six claims adjoining the
Paymaster about the time of the or
iginal discovery on the Paymastel
and shortly afterward King became
interested with him in his holdings
Preliminary steps for Incorporating
the Phonolite Independence Gold
Mining Company were taken several
months ago, but on account of other
matters taking the attention of the
promoters the final arrangements
were not completed until yesterday
