New District.

A wire from the scene of action Tues

ing deal that has been brewing for sew.
eral weeks in Nye county, Nevada, This
message brought to the two Salt Bakers
interested. Kenneth Kerr and j, II.
Burtner, the word that a twclve-foot
copper ledge had been uncovered upon
the properties of the Orc City Mining
company, and that the ledge is remarka-
bly, strong. showing for great dis
lance across the property and section of
the camp, The Orc City company was
organized some time ago by Mcssrs.
Kerr and Burtner along with some prom
inent Los Angeles and Nevada inves-
tors, and coincidently with this organ
izatiou was that of the Sterling Town
site company by the same people.
The two companies have hcen care
fully kept in the background until all
the details Of the two organizations
had been worked ont successfully. Not
only has this combination Of investors
shown splendid mineral values upon
their mining properties there. but the
city Of Sterling is n hustling little min
ing camp, where buildings are being
erected as fast as the necessary sup
plies can be secured. There has started
quite a rush into that region, and the
district, which is splendidly mineral
lied is being gone over by large
number of newly arriving prospectors.
Sterling City is just seven miles from
milc-post SO from Las Vegas, and as.
siding is being placed at this point. the
new city and camp will be within seven
miles Of railroad connection.
No values were given IN Tuesday s
message regarding the new copper
ledge, but the management OF the Orc
City company has found copper values
on their properties ranging to as high
as 62 per cent, while values from 20
TO 30 per cent. have been met with fire.

do not claim that these values repre-

some samples that look the part easily.

MENOAH MINE SENDS
FOR BIG EQUIPMENT
Splendid Phoebe Property Busy
With Work With Pur-
chaSers On Its Heels.

Coincident with the shipment Of new
equipment from Salt Lake machinery
houses to the Phoebe property Of the
company, comes the news that the Men
dah mine is about TO change hands from
the present owners. The consideration
for the deal has not been disclosed, nor
is tho name of the purchasers made
known, but 1t is stated that they are
Goldfield operators of prominence. The
Mcndah company was organized not
very long ago, its capitalization being
one million shares. The company de
shares on The market. but when the
miners at Phoebe spoke for fifty thou
sand of this allotment, the company cut
their offer off at that point, since which
time no more stock has been issued. 80
it will be An easy matter to collect
practically all the outstanding stock
for exchange should the Goldfelders
price stand the test.
The Mendah mine has interested in
ii some of the men in that section of
Nevada who have made history for the
State, William Lloyd is n large own
er. and he is one of tho successful Bris'
tol leasers who created such a favora-
bic impression last year. j, \, Cook
and Thomas Osborne arc others promi-
nently connected with the company.
The property has been one of the noted
producers Of the Phoebe section. and
its workings descend deeply. The prop
erty in places has been developed to n
depth OF 700 feet, and a liberal ton
mage of rich ore has been placed in
touch. Those who are familiar with the
Mendah state that its ores will aver
age in the vicinity Of so ounces silver,
40 per cent. lead, and from $40 to $l2
gold TO the ton.
There were sent today from this city
gallows frame and q 40-horsepowe er
gasoline engine which will be utilized
by the company to send the workings
deeper, as well as to bring out the ores
developed thus far. The property,
therefore, with the arrival of the rail
road, under whatsoever ownership, is
destined to become one of the leading
producers of that section. The mine is
located about seven miles west Of
Phoebe.

MOSCOW EXTENSION.
Company Preparing To Drive Shaft to
Depths Upon Values

j. NJ. Russell, president of the Mos.
cow Extension company. arrived in Salt
Lake Tuesday from the property in
Beaver county, enroute to the camp of
Goldfcld. Mr.. Russell reports that this
newly organized company is preparing
to sink upon some of the fine values in
copper, lead and silver found upon the
surface, a shaft being planned to reach
the hundred level as starter. The
NJ Moscow Extension company owns three
claims adjoining the Burning Moscow,
the Hub, the Commonwealth, and other
groups, and such surroundings naturally
call forth ample reason for fine values
upon this particular group. Mr.. Russell
states that there are two veins so far
shown upon the property, one being a
contact, the other a true tissure, and
they cross one another at right angles.
The company expects to be able to show
splendid values and resources before the
summer has advanced far. Mr. Russell
thinks that Beaver county will be one
of the most attractive portions Of min:
eralized Utah, and soon. His idea is
that greater depth is essential than
heretofore generally gained by opera
tors,

MONTGOMERY sHoSHoNE
Company Shipping Steadily and Con
stantly Improving the Mine.

oooheAy 1iiPAoNiAS lHo
The market letter of Taylor and Grif
ffths, of Rhyolite, give some very inter
esting data regarding the Montgomery
Shoshone Consolidated property, which
is worthy of reproduction in these col
umns. The article is as follows:
1.-The deepest point In the Montgom-
cry Shoshone workings, tho bottom of
the triple compartment shaft, 440 feet
deep, is all III an excellent grade of
shipping ore, some Of which shows free
gold, visible to the naked eye. The
shaft has penetrated the quartz within
a few days past. All of the ore hoist
ed is being saved for shipment, and 1t
will probably run as good as any av-
nous mine. The quality Of the ore is
better than the management had an
tlcipated; the quartz pans coarser gold
than anything previously uncovered in
the mine.
1.-The Shoshone proper has been send
ing out a carload of ore per day for
some weeks, and yesterday the first car
load was shipped from the Polaris end
Of the property. The Polaris has de
veloped a remarkable body of medium
grade ore on the 300foot level. where
the orc has been proven continuous for
more than 300 feet in length, with an
excellent average throughout All of
this ore may he broken down and load

Newhouse Company Marketed
Over Million Pounds Copper
at Splendid Profit.
MANAGER HANCHETT Is
BACK FROM NEW YORK
Beaver County Property Earn
ing Liberal Rate Through
Recent Discoveries.

General Manager Lafayette Hanchett
of the Newhousc interests on Tuesday
became available 10 the Salt Lake
newspaper man for the first time
since his arrival home from two
weeks visit to New York, and while
be still had great accumulation
of business before him yesterday, he
gave it up for n sufficient length OF
time to answer the many questions the
newspaper fraternity had framed up
for him. OF course, the first question
asked was regarding the Newhouse or
Cactus property iu Beaver county,
and it's earnings as far as available
Tor the month of April. Mr. Hanchett
stated that the Newhouse company sent
something like three thousand tons of
concentrates TO the market during
April. and between eighteen and
twenty cars OF crude ore.
This was an improvement over the
previous month. when practically a
million pounds Of copper was the re-
suit OF that month S conslgnments to
market. Mr.. Hanchett stated that
The product for April would exceed
million pounds of the red metal
from all available data but for con-
venience sake The Tribune viii say
that the output WAS one million
pounds, while it is almost certain that
the output will exceed such figures one
hundred Thousand pounds. Taking the
output at million pounds Of copper,
and taking int consideration that the
COMPANY will net Is cents per pound,
estimating the cost Of production at
: cents n pound. the net profit 10
the Ncwhouse company Tor April on
copper will be something like $l5o,0Oo:
Add TO this the ya!ue Of the gold and
silver contents Of such ore, some"
thing like $4,000 per the million
mounds of copper. and the net profit TO
the organization for APRIL S operations
would amount to the neat sum of S2l0,-
900. or ~ per share.
Yet TO the surprise Of everyone this
stock stands stationary, as If anchored
10 a mere prospective proposition. in
stead of being hitched TO a most at
trac1ive and present-a achieving profit
Garner When asked about the Boston
Consolidated company and the report
that this company was on the verge of
declaring its initial dividend. Mr..
Hanchett Stated that Wall street con-
siders the present earnings of the COM
n
profit sharing campaign. Wall street
brokers offered him 81 per share for
his prospective dividends for 1907.
This offer was more as n feeler than
anything else, and upon Mr. Hanchett
refusing the same, the bid rose TO 50
per share. and now stands AT s3 per
share. This would tend TO show that
Wall street looks for some substantial
dividends YET this year from the
Boston Consolidated. Mr.. Hnuchctt
would not state what he expected
along the same lines, but The Tribune
is willing TO reiterate it's recent predic-
tion that the Boston dividend will be
declared within the first half of the
year.
Mr Hancbeit stated yesterday that
he had hardly had time to get in close
touch with affairs at the home office,
but he found everything progressing
smoothly and satisfactorily.

WHITE ROCK LEASERS.
Salt Lakers Doing Things in the Fa-
nous Goldfeld District.

The operators of the January White
Rock Mining and Leasing company,
which is developing a lease on the
White Horse claim Of the White Rock,
are thoroughly convinced that they will
soon be enabled to announce strike
Of the first Importance. The shaft which
is being rushed to the 350.foot level
TO crosscut the vein, has reached a
depth of 265 feet and a formation is
coming in that is most encouraging in
character, showing large quantity of
tale and sulphides.
The equipment including fifty horse
power electric hoist and three drill
compressor, will permit of rapid work
and the shaft has been entirely uu~
watered since resumlng sinking in this
good looking formation. Engineers who
have examined the workings recently
express the opinion that the shaft has
penetrated the ore channel and any
day or hour may expose body of high
grade quartz. The officials of the com
pany are well-known operators, includ-
ing H. T. Bragdou and Il. H. Mead, of
this town, and II. S. Joseph of Salt
Lake. The company is practically a

fredericksburg, Va, March IA, 1907.
To The Free Lance.
With the approach OF the time for the
nomination OF a Democratic candidate
for the House OF Delegates in this legis-
latiye district the business men and
voters generally OF this city are showing
q great deal OF interest in the choice oil
a successor to Mr.. Swift. While several
men are being prominently talked oil here
for the nomination, sentiment does not
seem to have sufficiently crystalized to
point out the strongest man, but TINS If
a secondary consideration alter all. Inc
main thing is that the next session OIL the
Legislature is going to be u most impor,
tant one for Fredericksburg because oil
the normal school and other matters,
and we need young. aggressive ano
energetic man-one who will prove him
self a good worker and good mixer.
take It for granted that the county will
concede the delegate to the city one more
term. as the position was held by the
county for two terms prior to Mr..
Swift's election. This would be lair play
and would save any disagreea6le clash
between city man and one from the
county. After the coming term the city
will doubtless yield to the county Tor
two terms. | believe that this is lair
play. and that is the sentiment OF all
the voters here and Of large number in
Spotsylyania.
