nRFHEBE IS NOW IN
'D THE SHIPPING CLASS
,uALs ARE ON THE WAY TO
look AFTER THE INITIAL
SHIPMENT.
,,,o,ebe Is 70 be a shipper.

Iohn salsberry, OF the ooehepe
~ and Shelter Company, has
ahmed ten thousand ore sacks to
oomnany's mine, and yesterday
.amnanied by his mine manager,
a.. paker. he left for Ubehebe to
r~noriptend the first shipment.
rhe copper is in the mines and the
IN ~ Ubehebe are busy taking 1t
~ The present price of copper
s~osents no obstacle to the shippers,
~ The reason that the ore is Of such
! high grade that the price Of the
,,otal might go still lower and ube-
bebe ship at a profit.
Not only that, but there is con-
Siderable high grade gold ore in that
rorderful country, and that pays 20
shin IN any circumstance. About ten
aoys ago there were a number OF
h,rros sent into Ubehebe. Therl are
+wonty-two of the little pack animals
IN ali. and they n to be used to pack
tha ore down the mountain sides to
tba wagons in the valley below. All
this is very picturesque and is the
metbod Of mining pursued in the
Andes. But the picturesaueness will
soou disappear, and give way to the
most approved modern methods OF
mining. when the big tunnel is prop
erly equipped.
Accompanying Messrs. Salsberrl
and Baker on the trip yesterday wer'
Mr.. Lindell, formerly of Manhattan
ana Mrs. Kanters, wife of the super
intendent Of the company. Mr.. Bake

several other gentlemen, among then
being George w. Baker. his father
Mr.. Baker, while being n Of tn
most prominent attorneys in tn
West. is an old Neyadan, and Is az
eustomed to mines in their variou
degrees OF development. He ha
heard much of the Ubehebe countr.
long before coming here on this tri
and was somewhat prepared for Il
sights he was TO see, but the magn

Of operations. he confessed, astoun
ed him.
Marvellous is the only word IN
can find in my vocabulary TO G
press my sentiments said N
Baker. II naturally expected to S
something in the way of a eopp
mine when / started for the III
hebe, but / never dreamed of such
showing. There is copper in eve
direction, and the plan OF deyel'
ment has already proven, to
mind at any rate, the permanency
the mines. You see immense or
pings on the mountain top. and
can find the ledge again down
mountain side, where the tunr
have been run. | did not take
assays, but I saw some stuff tn
which It was not necessary to ass
1t was almost pure copper. And I
was not here and there, either.
was in great lunches.
There is a wonderful trail wi
winds along the mountain side, WI
you descend on burros. That
gives you an idea OF what they /
in Ubehebe, for you see the open
that have been made. and YOU
get a good view of the wonde
lodges. Truly, 1t is a most fasei
ing trip, and a most fascinating c.
try. | would not have missed
trip for a good deal. ! predict
the country that they are goin
have one of the greatest co
camps in the world. There 4
has been seen such a prospect q

Ubehebe Mines and smelter
