Modena, jan 17.-Dr. c. r. Watkins
or Boston, president of the AmaIga-
mated Copper Mining company, ac-
companied by Erdine Gone, secretary;
Wallace Westerman, an attorney of
Boston. and a mining engineer are go
ing over the ground of the company.
A survey of the property at fremont,
formerly known as the Indigo group,
has been ordered and, according to DR..
watkins, patent application will be
made upon completion of the survey.
A partial shipment, which will also
constitute a trial shipment from the
property. is on the platform at Mo-
dena awaiting full carload consign-
ment, and the returns from this will
doubtless influence to a great extent
the future operations of the company
in handling their lead-silver ores. AL
together some $50 sacks of ore have
been sorted at the mine. with suffi-
Gent ore being mined to send out sew
er1 more carloads as soon as a clear
determination in values of lots has
been made.
Reports From the Holt.
Very favorable reports are being re-
ceived here concerning the property of
the Escalante Mining company, for
merly known as the Holt mine, twelve
miles south Of Modena on which is be-
lieved to be the extension of the Desert
Wonder lode. A E. Ackerson. who
took hold of the property some months
ago, and who also picked up some
properties at Sand Springs, easterly
some twenty miles from Modena, is re
ported as making a very extraordinary
showing The Holt mine, it is said
following the customary spar and
baryta formation in a vein, yielded
small silver and lead values to a tri1e
over 100 feet in depth. The shaft be-
ing dropped down deeper by Mr.. Ack-
erson is said to show substantial re-
turns in lead, silver, gold and copper,
characteristic of the Desert Wonder
at MOdena.
Exploitation of the country north of
Modena is practically assured during
the coming spring by the interest that
Is already being shown by parties who
only viewed the country specifically
last year. 1t is surely a wonderful
country Three parallel mountain
ranges cut southwark from the foot of
Grampian mountain at Frisco, where
is located the famous Horn Silver
mine, and the development of the fu-
ture is destined to speak eloquently
and substantially for the section from
Indian Peak through to Modena.

Gold Springs is making. a famous show

Cecil Newell and Colonel S. p
Moore are bringing the Wild Irish and

There has been no cessation of work
worthy of mention in the lower portion
of the state owing to the panic. Even
