WILL HANDLE
Low GRADE ORE
Traction Engine Line to Run
From l0veI0CkS to Seven
Troughs.

Martin Oleson of Freiberg, New. and
Dawson City. Alaska, who has Just re-
turned from trip to Seven Troughs. Ma
yuma and the surrounding territory, be-
heves that he has solved the transporta-
uon problem for Seven Troughs. Mr.. Ole
son VIII put traction engine and a train
capable of transporting 100 tons of ore at
one load into commission before the end
oi the summer The route followed will
De from Lovelocks to Seven Troughs al
though 1t is possible that the route NAV
pc shortened by establishing a station at
rye Patch, provided the county authori-
ties can be induced to offer the proper
ald 10 the new transportation company.
me traction engine used will develop ITO
horsepower and will make light work of
the grade, which now requires six and
eight-horse teams. Mr.. Oleson has as
sured himself of the amount of shipping
ore available in the Seven Troughs dis
trict and states that the new line will en-
able the mine owners Of that district to
ship ore which up to the present time has
been put over the dump as unavailable un-
I'll mills shall have been erected.
The present road into Seven Troughs
will be practically abandoned and the
shortest practicable route will be taken.
But little money will be required to put
the road in shape for travel, as the trac-
ton engine can be counted on to cut a
road for itself after the first few trips.
Mr.. Oleson has also made arrangements
to control the coal and lumber supply OF
the district to be tapped by the new trans
portation line and will be able to furnish
those commodities to the mine owners of
the district at a most reasonable price. 1t
Is estimated that the new line will reduce
the freight haul to nearly one-half the
present figures, and in addition to re-
ducing the price of supplies will render
available thousands of tons of medium
grade gold ore which up to the present
time the mine owners of the district have
been unable to forward TO the smelters
at a profit on account of the excessive
freight rates. Provided the county author
tiles can be induced to shoulder the ex-
pense of bridge over the Humboldt river
1t is possible that the route may be
changed and Rye Patch made the initial
starting point on the, railroad. In the
event of the building of this bridge the
road will be thrown open to the public
free of charge. If the new route is forced
to start at Lovelocks. or If the county au-
thorities refuse to stand the expense of
the bridge, the road will be made toll
road.
Mr. Oleson states that the mine owners
OF the district have signed agreements
which will keep the new line busy on high
grade ore for months to come. The ore
the railroad will be based on a sliding scale
which will allow of the shipment of the
lower grade gold ores at a most reason
able rate. Mr.. Oleson has made thor
ough study of the transportation Ques-
ton and Is satisfied that the proposed
route offers no serious obstacles to the
rapid and cheap transportation OF sup
plies and ore between Seven Troughs and
the railroad

CONvERTERSPU PUT
IN COMMISSION
Tampa Plant Now Producing
One Car of Blister Cop
per a Day.

The blowing in of the Yampa smelter
converters was accomplished on Saturday
with hitch. The Yampa plant for years
produced nothing but copper matte, which
was shipped to the United States COM
pany for refining. but when the United
States plant was closed temporarily 1t
was determined by the Yampa directorate
to secure the plant from any shut down
by refining their own copper. The entire
plant was put in commission Saturday
and is now producing about one carload
of blister copper per day. This involves
the treatment of about 500 tons of crude
ore, which amount is easily furnished by
the mines of the company. 1t is seldom
that new plant is blown In without
some minor delays and alterations, but
in the case of the Yampa plant these were
noticeably absent. The McDougal roast
ers. all the reverbratory furnaces and
the two converters are now working at
full capacity and the present rate of
production will be maintained Indefinite
ly. The addition TO the plant was put in
operation under the direction of Manager
Saxman. who Is still at the plant. Man
ager Saxman reports that the mine is in
splendid condition at the present time
and can be counted on to supply the
smelter with crude ore at the present
rate for years to come.

COPPER MUST ADVANCE
Developer of the Great Mackay Mine
Believes Presen: Low Prices
Cannot Be Maintained.

When the price of copper advances. as
L think 1t WILL" said Frank Leyland, the
man who made the Mackay mine sue
cess after II had been condemned by a
dozen experts. I'VE will resume operations.
The Empire Copper company which is the
name under which the Mackay lease is
now known, has plenty of money in the
treasury and we do not feel like sacrifice
ing our ore at the present prices
Mr.. Leyland in connection with Clar-
ence Mccormick of this city and William
Brevoort of New York. holds a five-year
lease on the Mackay mine at Mackay, Ida.
Mr.. Leyland went to the property with
the intention of turning the machinery
which had been provided at great expense
by the owners, into scrap iron. While oc-
cupied with this work he became con-
WINGED of the value of the property which
had been deemed a failure by a dozen diff
ferent superintendent who had failed to
make il nay.
After interesting Mr. Mccormick and
Mr.. Brevoort with him, Mr.. Leyland Sc
cured five-year lease on the property,
and inside of one year made the property
pay more than 100000
Mr.. Leyland states that >the property
can be made to pay fully $4,000 per month
at the present price of copper. but that
he and. his associates are unwilling to sac
rifice the profits which they feel are
bound to accrue to them with the advance
which they believe will come within the
next six months.
Mr. Leyland is an old machinery man
and designed the pumping plant which
cleared the Comstock lode to depth of
800 feet below the Sutro tunnel level. and
which added millions to the output of
the Comstock after ii had been universally
decided that the palmy days of the great
silver camp were over.
Mr.. Leyland IS on his way to Mackay
to look over the plant and to put things
in readiness for the shipment of ore when
the price of copper shall have advanced.

ACCIDENT TO TRAPPER.
While on Way to His Traps His
Horse Stumbled and Fell, Throw
ing Him to the Ground.

Ephraim, Aug. lied Stevens of this
city, who has been trapping for bear this
summer. met with an accident last week
which might have caused his death.
He was on his way to his traps which
are set near a spring on top of the noun
tains AS he was crossing a deep ravine
the horse stumbled and fell and threw
Stevens against some large boulders
Whether he was kicked by the horse or
wounded by the sharp rock, he could not
say, as a large cash was found in his
forehead. He was taken by his friend to
town and several stitches were made in his
forehead by DR.. Nielsen. 1t is reported
that he is recovering nicely.
The funeral services over the remains
of John Brooks Wasdon OF Gunnison were
held in the Relief society hall yesterday
afternoon. The hall was artistically dec
GRATED in white and black crepe, ans beau
tiful bouquets of flowers were placed on
the stand. Austin Kearnes. John Larson,
Bishop Joseph Christensen, all of Gunni-
son, and Mr.. Taylor of Salt Lake county
all spoke of the noble character of the
departed Sweet music was furnished by
the Gunnison choir under the direction of
r. C. Swalberg. lnterment was in the

GOLDFIELD BUYERS
SEEK BABY FLORENCE
Especial to The Herald.)

Goldfield, Aug. 1.-THE develop
ments during the week in Goldfield
have been principally along the big
treasure-laden dyke of the Florence.
The Baby Florence, which is but a
short distance from the Engineers
lease. opened a shoot of good ore early
in the week. and the entire town has
been buying Baby Florence stock
since-also all other leasing stocks
along the dyke.
The Engineers lease, which is owned
entirely by Salt Lake people. paid its
third dividend of $4,000 yesterday,
making a total of $4,000 in two
months. During that time the COM
pany has received for ore s475. OO1. Is, of
which the Florence Goldfield Mining
company received in royalties s143.750.
considerably more than enough to pay
it's quarterly dividend.
Harry p. Taylor. president of the
Engineers lease, returned Friday night
from a ten days stay in Salt Lake, ac-
companied by Mrs. Taylor and their
two children, who will visit in Gold
field. LyttletOn Price has been in
Idaho for an outing with his family,
and will return in a week. ]. c. Nivin,
the third of the trio of engineers. who
recently married a daughter of Waldo
mar Van Colt. has taken his bride to
Europe.
1t is quite probable that the three
men, whose fortunes have been made
in this lease, will engage in further
operations in Nevada.

GOLD CIRCLE AWAITS MILL

C. C. Rothchild manager of the Rex
property at Gold Circle. spent yesterday
in Salt Lake Mr.. Rothchild states that
advance in activity in New York and
that he believes that the Nevada and
Utah stocks will advance strongly during
the early fall. Mr. Rothchild has just
received word that fully 10 feet of 50
ore has been opened up on the 65-foot
level of the Rex. and that the drift has
not yet reached the hanging wall. Les
lie d. Savage was yesterday in receipt
of some of the finest specimens of gold
ore ever produced from Gold Circle.
These specimens, which are from the Elko
Prince and from the st. Paul group,
show enormous gold values and come from
a depth which shows the values to be per-
manent. The camp of Gold Circle is es-
sentially a milling camp and. although
there is large amount of shipping ore
available. the property owners of the
camp are anxiously awaiting the install

Goldfeld. Aug. 1.-THE Mohawk
Jumbo lease on the Gold Wedge claim.
in which many Salt Lakers are inter-
ested through their stock holdings. re-
sumed work Monday and broke 800
tons of ore in six days. The gross val
ne of the ore is approximately $4,000,
and as the lease has one hundred days
TO run after the resumption of work,
and plenty of ore blocked out, it should
be able to again pay dividends. Be
fore the litigation which ensued be-
tween the Consolidated company and
the Jumbo Extension closed down the
work. the company had disbursed $780,
600 in profits. The lease adjoins the
main workings of the Mohawk mine.
The output of the mines and leases
for the week was 1854 tons of ore val
ued at S245. 100. This is the second
largest week for the year.

NEW HOIST FOR
BULLOCK MINE

The Bullock Mining company of Tintic
has just purchased a 25-horsepower
Alamo hoist from the F. c. Richmond Ma
chinery company and the complete equip
ment was shipped TO the mine last night.
II is the intention of the Bullock COM
pany to increase this equipment and 20
install a compressor and machine drills
within the next few months. The hoist
which has been purchased will enable the
company TO sink at least $50 feet, when
IL will be replaced by larger plant The
ore shipments which have been made
from the Bullock amply warrant the pres
ent expenditure for new equipment.
The new hoist will be installed at once
and will be put in commission within the
next two weeks.
