P|OCHE IS Due
TO BOOM SOON
George w. Morgan Sizes Up
the Camp and Expresses
Surprise at Its Merit.

George w. Morgan returned from a
business trip to Phoebe yesterday morn
ing. While there he took occasion to make
trip of inspection to several properties
as the guest of Ed. F. Prudential. He
was highly pleased with what he saw and
he expressed the opinion last evening that
the camp was going to be the next one
to attract wide attention.
''Ill tell you right now" said Mr.. Nor
gan, that the mines of that camp have
certainly got the ore and lots of it, The
trip with Mr.. Prudential was an eye
opener to me and / am glad that / went
down there. In addition to looking over
the mines l sized up the town with an
idea of opening up big cafe there, and
while ] reached the conclusion that it
as | contemplated, there is no doubt in
my mind that the place will boom before
long. Quite a number of the big mines
are clustered right around the town while
there is a tremendously rich country
within a radius of fifteen miles of the
place, every particle Of which will be tri-
butary to the main town of Phoebe. Splen-
did producing mines are found for long
distances around the camp and new mines
producing stage. 1t all looked good to
me- There is large number of men en-
ployed in that region now and there viii
be great many more during the next
few months.
Mr.. Prudential has some mighty fine
properties in that section and ne stands
to make a great fortune there. He is
one of the biggest hearted men in the
country and he deserves all the good for
time that is sure to come to him as the
result of his lifetime work in the dis
trio -

VIRGIN REGION BOOSTED
BY LOS ANGELES PAPER

Sundays Los Angeles Times contains a
full-page Illustrated write-up of the Viz
gin City oil district by Allen Kelly, who
was commissioned by the paper to go
there and get at the facts. The story is d
good one and, while much of the informa
ton it gives, has already been well COW
cred by The Herald, the closing comment
and the reference to the great coal and
iron measures that exist in the same re-
gion will be read with interest here, as
follows:
The best evidence of the prospective
value of the oil field is the confidence
of experienced operators who are putting
capital into the enterprise and rushing
machinery to the ground. On my way out
to Lund | met twenty-three wagons heav
ily laden with drilling tools and supplies,
and at Lund l found dozen men waiting
for more machinery to arrive and trying
to hurry it along by wiring to the ship
pers.
Lund was nothing but a railroad station
and a freighters' corral, but by this time
probably something has been done in the
way of providing rough accommodations
for travellers. c. D. Porter was there
making arrangements for putting up some
large tents which he had ordered and ex-
pected to arrive Immediately. and he said
he would build hotel and store as soon
as he could get lumber. He has planned
townsite, and there will be a scttl sment
Coal and Iron.
Oil is not the only undeveloped source of
wealth in southwestern Utah. About
twenty miles from Lund, in Iron county,
are great deposits of iron ore of the finest
quality, and from Cedar southwark ex-
tend coal measures that have been known
for many years and have been worked in
small way by the people of the country
to supply domestic needs.
Much of the iron ground is held by the
Colorado Fuel & Iron company, and some
of the coal land has been acquired by Salt
Lake capitalists.
There is a mountain of almost solid iron
easily accessible. The coal lies in hori-
zOntal planes, conforming to the strata of
the plateaus and cropping in the faces of
the cliffs. The seam varies in thickness
from five feet at Cedar to eight feet at
Kanarra, and further south lower and
thicker seams appear. No prospecting
has been done back of the cliffs on the
plateaus, and therefore the extent of the
coal fields is unknown. The coal is good
for domestic use and for steam and it is
used by blacksmiths in the country, but
1t is not cOking coal.
The chief visible inducement to railroad
building in that region is the tonnage
available in the coal and iron deposits.
When the Salt Lake people go after the
coal they may deem it expedient to fol-
low it down to the Virgin, and pick I'D
the oil.

OHIO COPPER'S
MERIT MEASURED
Boston Writer Figures Out
What Property's Earn
ing Capacity Is.

In his current market letter George l.
Walker quite lengthily reviews the Ohio
Copper companys enterprise. He de-
scribes the mines and the character of the
ores, the amount of work done, including
the building of the new mill. ETC., and
then discusses the Propositions future
and its earning capacity under varying
conditions, as follows:
'tOne of the leading mining authorities
of Utah, who is very we'll acquainted Win
conditions at the Ohio property, ana VINO
is inclined to be extremely conservative
estimates that after the new mill is COM
pleted 1T will treat an average OF Z'VVo loIS
of ore day, or 100000 tons annually, ana
recover an average of at least tWehty-
three pounds of copper to the ION. ne
estimates q grade of L6 per cent copper,
and a saving of 20 per cent OF the gross
values. This means a production or To-
100000 pounds of copper yearly
THE same gentleman says that the
gross opera ting cost will not exceed Sl.$
per ton of ore, including all expenses al
the property, smelling, refining, selling
and management. Figured on this basis,
the company will produce its copper for
little less than SA cents per pound,
and will make profit of ga cents, or sl.US
Der share annually on d 15-cent copper
market.
If the average copper contents of its
ore is IL per cent copper-the engineers
who have most extensively sampled the
properly declare it Island an average saw
ing of 70 per cent of the mineral contents
can be made, the company will produce
100000 pounds of copper annually at a
cost of "a cents per pound, resulting in
net earnings of 1-25 per share on 15-cent
copper market, and over 81 per share an
nually on a 20-cent copper market. with a
2,0D0 cotton mill.
Allowing that the lower average yield
is correct, and that the cost per ton is
no lower than $3.50, there will still remain
a net profit of $1.55 per ton of ore. This
means that the 100000 tons so far block
ed out in the mine will yield a net profit
of S6,200O00, or better than S. per share on
the stock with copper at Is cents. The
i0000,C coo tons of ore which is practically
known to exist should, under similar con-
ditionS, yield a profit of S15,500000. or
$3.50 per share.
1T is known that Mr.. Heinze and his
associates have every confidence in the
values which have been shown up in the
Ohio Copper property. and also that they
increased their holdings of the stock by
buying it all the way up from S1.50 to
above s. per share. They firmly believe
that their holdings will within a year or
two be worth from SIS to $40 per share

AT LOWER MAMMOTH,
MAY DAY, UNCLE SAM

General Manager John Dern returned
yesterday from a two days visit to the
Lower Mammoth, May Day and Uncle
Sam properties at Tintic. He reports that
the auxiliary shaft in the Lower Mann
moth has now reached the 1,s00-foot level
and that. as soon as the camp has been
excavated and a station cut, explorations
at that depth will begin and the shaft
will be continued on down to the 1900
foot level and deeper. Mr.. Dern says
that the mine looks fine and that good
tonnage of ore is being mined and
shipped.
At the May Day and Uncle Sam every
thing was found in the pink of condition.
with the usual tonnage rolling out from
both mines The properties, Mr.. Dern
said, never looked so well, notwithstand-
ing the weakness of the shares In the
market. He said that stockholders were
the sole judges of the market value of
their holdings and if they were content
to sell at ruling prices while the mines
were earning handsome interest on much
higher prices and paying 1t regularly
every month. 1t was certainly no fault
of his.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Lower Levels Are Being Reached
With Each Days Trading.

There is nothing to it. Every day
brings local stocks down to new low
level and new methods of figuring mine
values are being introduced into the dis
cussiOns of the patrons of the pit. Earn
ing capacities, amount of ore in sight in
the mines, the price of the metals and
all arguments that are usually brought
into play with the purpose of enhancing
or trimming down the price of stock
are swept aside. In the place of them
are heard such remarks as What would
the ground sell for if offered for cash
tomorrow If the reply indicates that
the selling price of the companys shares
is higher than that, the retort Is made
that the stock must be selling for more
than it is worth. With everything fig
ured on this basis there is still room for
declines.
During yesterdays trading a total of
1O6.500 shares of stock. with a selling
value of s523 %, changed hands. Fol-
lowing is the list of final quotations and
record of sales made during the two reg
ular and open board calls:
