each with a par value Of % cents.
Prominent among the official household
Of this company arc II. A, kerns and
! Ia. McMullen, the latter having gath
cred together the group some years ago.
The property owned by this company
is located in the Gold Springs district
of Utah, and adioIns the property of
the Jennie Gold Mining company.
There has been considerable prepara-
tory development work done upon the
six claims, and a general sampling re-

UNCLE SAM AND
MAY DAY MERGER
Directors of Both Companies
Are Agreed Upon Line
of Action.
DOES NOT INCLUDE
THE HUMBUG GROUND
Stockholders Now VIII Be
Given Chance to Approve
or Reject Plan.

The deal whereby the Uncle Sam
cations are TO be merged bids fair to
be successful, as the directors of both
companies have met and reached an
agreement as TO the terms OF consoh-
dation. The May Day board mot Tues
day afternoon, and proposed its plan,
and the Uncle Sam board met ycster-
day afternoon and agreed upon the
same. The bass of The consolidation
is exactly as mentioned some time ago
in these columns, that is, the Uncle
Sam ground, including the mill, but not
the Humbug or other possessions not
continuous, and the complete May Day
possessions are to become merged, both
now adjoining one another.
This merger is To provide for The
stockholders Of both old companies an
equal share in the new corporation to
take over the combined properties.
Whether or not the May Day Capitali-
zation viii be raised to 900 shares,
or an entirely new corporation Will be
formed, must remain as details to be
worked out in: the future, In the mean
time, both the Uncle Sam and the May
Day directors Will give the respective
stockholders the opportunity Of ratify-
ing or rejecting the proposition as soon
as all legal requirements have been
followed
1t goes without saying that the
Uncle Sam claim and the May Day pos
sessions will provide one of the most
satisfactory mining propositions that
could be desired by those interested.
1t will mean bringing the resources of
both under one method of economical
extraction, concentration when needed,
and marketing. The rejuvenated May

whichever selected, will be able to start
out in life with splendid resources IN

BETTER ORE RATE
ON ZINC NEEDED
Utah Producers Pay Apparent
ly Excessive Charges to the
Zinc Smelters.
MEANS MUCH TO
THE LOCAL PRODUCER
Recent Decision Regarding the
Tariff on Calamine Also
a Drawback.

1t is understood that an effort is be-
Ing made by some of the zlnc producers
of the State of Utah and Nevada to Sc
cure better freight rates on such ores
from the mine 10 the Eastern smelters.
The zinc production Of Utah, while not
very great. is sufficient. TO stamp it as
one of the important metal productions,
and those companies which produce
liberal amount of zinc rock find the
proceeds therefrom no small item of
the financial end of the mining game.
1t is to secure 4 greater, or what might
be called living profit, on such ores
that the effort is TO be made looking
toward securing cheaper transporta-
ton charges on all such ore.
Among the many Utah mines whose
ores carry commercial grade of zinc
ores may be mentioned the Horn Silver,
DAILY Judge, Daly-West, Scranton and
several others, while the Potosi mine of
Good Springs, Nevada, is liberal ship
per Of this sort of orc. The rate from
the Kansas gas belt is said to be IN
the neighborhood Of SIS per ton. Those
who know, state that it costs all of So
per ton to mine the ore. To tins cost
is TO be added heavy penalties for units
in lesser quantity than called for by
contract, demurrage and sampllng
costs, until great quantities of zinc ore
are being thrown over the dumps that
could be available for commerce under
circumstances even bit moro favor.
able than those prevailing at present
The bullion rate from Salt Lake 10
New York centers is so per ton. Ship
pers of zinc ore see no reason why zinc
ores, in car lots, and needing no care
at all as compared with bullion, should
be sent half way to New York for al
most the same price. The argument is
a strong one, and should it prevail sue
cessfully. the zinc industry OF the State
will be materially increased during the
balance of the present season. The
zinc industry OF this country. especially
NIL the portions cf the country that
produce the oxides, sulphides and car
Donates OF the metal, has been the re-
cipient recently of severe blow by a
decision Of the courts.
By this decision it was determined
that the term 'Calsmine,' as used in
the tariff schedule, does not include
oxides or carbonate of zinc, The eff
feet OF this decision is 20 admit free Of
duty the oxides and carbonates of zinc
from Mexico and British Columbia
Calamine, by that decision, is held 10
apply to the slllcatc of zinc only. So
far as can be ascertained Mt present,
there is only one mine in the United
States that produces siljcates of zinc
and that is in the Franklin Furnace,
Virginia, fields. The chief source of
spelter is blend aud thc carbonates and
oxides Of zinc. All the mines in the
Missouri and Wisconsin districts pro-
duce more or less oxides and carbo-
mates, known as DRY Bones" among
miners
So the zinc industry, as il applies
ducers, is badly handicapped for this
reason, and local producers are all the
more restrained by the present freight
rates on such ores.

TO 100 feet in thickness on the top OF
the mountain to a thickness of 90 feet,
From present development the thick
ness of the pay ore varies according to
the extent of the secondary enrich
ment, The data obtained from the va
rious tunnels show ii to average be-
tween 300 and 400 feet.
This Porphyry ore has been develop
ed by 24,500 feet of tunnels and
raises. In the 1856 acres only 40 acres
arc considered as Of Immediate value.
The remaining l01 acres contain ore
and may become of value as an ore
asset later on when milling methods
are improved 10 such n degree that ]
per cent ore can be mined and treated
at a profit. The management of the
Boston Consolidated Co. estimates the
total tonnage of the porphyry deposit
at 5S.5SO,9l0 tons of ore figuring on
the porphyry being 300 feet thick, and
39,053,91O tons figuring on thickness
of 200 feet, this tonnage being contain
ed IN the 40 acres above referred TO.
As result of 224l assays the aver
age of the entire tonnage is figured at
Loo per cent copper. In estimating ton
nages 12.4 cubic feet of ore in place
has been reckoned as giving one ton
The ore runs fairly uniform and il is
tho remarkable homogeuity OF the
porphyry which renders il possible TO
estimate the large tonnages of ore and
average the assays.

there would be ll3.500,000 tons IN addi.
Gon to the above but the ASSAY value
of the possible ore runs from 75
per cent for $685. 900 tons To 81 per
cent for ~ $4,000 tons and 1.20 per
cent for tho remainder. The company
has an equipment installed for hand
llng J5,OOO tons of ore daily. 1t has
four steam shovels in operation. The
steam shovel method of mining is used
exclusively in stripping and VIII be used
in handlingSthe ore. In figuring mining
costs of the porphyry the cost sheets
OF the company for the removal of
2S5,2l2 tons of stripping were 25 cents
per ton, but IN general mining costs arc
figured at 40 cents TO allow for all con.

This Promising Ground.

Within the next few days an organi-
cation Will be effected by prominent
Salt Lake capitalists for the purpose
of taking over the ownership of the
Desert Wonder group of claims in the
Modena section of the State, The Dcs-
ert Wonder is the property of several
wall-known local investors, and the
short time that they have been at work
upon the same has been productive of
splendid returns. The mine manage
ment has shown up some very fatter-
ing copper, gold, silver and lead values
on the group, and some of this ore now
in Salt Lake looks exceptionally fine.
Mining men who have inspected the
group since work started state that

ducing pound of copper from the porr-
phyry is figured at % cents per pound.
1t is not expected that the first unit
of the Boston Consolidated Co s big
10000 mill Will be in commission before
early fall. Figuring, on daily .prodJuc-
ton Of 5000 tons from the operation
of the first unit, which averages 1,56
per cent copper and a mill recovery of
81 per cent, the copper production
would be 22,5s2,109 pounds per nnnum
derived from the handling Of l,0S0,0O0
tons, On l5,cent copper the profits from
this would be S1,4S8,240, with 20-cent
copper 1851 100, and with 25-cent
copper S3,754 4,0S0.
Total earnings of the Boston Consoli-
dated from both its porpbyry and sui
phide ore shipments on the basis of
750 tons per day of sulphides and 5000
tons porphyry would be as follows at
varying prices for copper.

Earnings

Several years ago when Boston Con-
solidated stock took sudden Jump
from $40 to $40 per share. President
Newhouse did rather unusual thing by
advising stockholders not to sell their
stocks, as he believed that on merit
the stock would sell much higher and
expressed his belief that within few
years the company would be able TO show
earnings of SIS per share. After this adj.
vice the stock advanced to S34 per
share. The above figures would APP
pear TO justify Mr.. Newhouse s esti.
mate of earnings.
