j. NJ. Reynolds, manager of the Hecla

returned from six weeks trip to New
York yesterday morning. He stated yes
terday that during his absence d great
zeal OF ore had been developed in the
tunnel workings Of the mine, accord

that, Just as soon as the metal markets

give his company a fair treatment

feet with a tunnel and expect TO make
great showing during the winter and
spring months.
At the Willowdale, the property in
which Mr. Dooley is so largely inter
ested, work is progressing steadily. and
some mighty fine ore is being encOun-
tered at a depth of 400 feet on the dip
of the Vein In this ore it is possible
to detect numerous particles of free
gold. while the average is such that
there is no longer any question about
the value of the mine.
James F. Muldoon, who is operating
the Kentucky group, has run into
formation al a distance of $50 feet in
his tunnel that is puzzling all the local
experts of the camp. Whether il is ore
and whether it is rich or poor, had not
been determined when Mr.. DOoley
pulled out for home, but one thing is
certain, nothing like it was ever opened
in the district before. and its discOv-
cry in the Kentucky tunnel was entirely
unexpected.
A couple of GOldfield-TonOpah men
are securing the district at the present
time seeking a foothold, but Mr.. Dooley
did not learn who they were.

HOLDS MEETING
Years Work Demonstrates
That Property in Beaver
County Is Rich.
BIG 0RE-PR0DUCING AREA
ALL METALS MAKING GOOD IN
THE LEDGES.
BIG ORE-PRODUCING AREA

At the annual meeting of the Pro-
gressive Mining & Milling company,
held yesterday afternoon, 3S7, 400 shares
of the 100000 shares of capital stock
were represented. Officers and direc-
tors were elected, as follows: l.. B.
Bohn, president; Isadore Leasing, vice
president and manager; G.. T. Mixer,
secretary and treasurer; these, with c.
c. CrismOn, Isadore Mayer and S. j.
Nichols completing the board Of direc-
tors.
The property of the Progressive COM
pany is located in the Star district,
Beaver county, short distance south
of the famous Burning Moscow. The
ground carries the junction of the main
north and south and east and west fis-
sureS of that portion of the district and
along which the best mines of that re-
gion have been and are being deVel-
opend. During the year that the Pro-
greSsiVe company has been operating
the property in the neighbOrhoOd of 300
feet of work has been done in the mine.
In addition to the main assures the
ground covers numerous crOss-fissures,
which make Veritable network of ore
producing ground, and developments of
recent date has disclosed the ore max
ing out of the assures into the bedding
planes of the lime and, while it will
likely be year or two before the drifts
being sent out from the shaft cut I'M
der the junction of the main lodges,
which crop high on the hill, there is
everything to indicate that a great deal
of rich silver-lead and copper-silver-
gold ore, as well, will be opened up.
The shaft was sunk to a depth of $50
feet, and it is from the bottom of this
no
ment work is being done. A drift to the
east is developing a lead-silver assure.
and the west drift is opening up ledge
in which copper is as strongly charac-
teristic of the values it contains as lead
is in the other. shipment of lead ore
is expected on the market before the end
of the present week that will run about
80 per cent lead and 20 ounces silver,
with some gold. The last shipment
from the property Melted over s94 per
ton.
The west drift is developing a assure
six feet wide and. while it is not solid
ore at present, there is a great deal of
rock that sorts to nearly IS per cent
copper, over 23 ounces silver and $3.50
i'm gold. There are several tons of ex-
tremely rich silVeT-cOpper-gOl ore on
the dump that has resulted from the
saving of specially fine rock. Lots of
it will run from 300 to 600 ounces sill
yer, with high values in copper and
gold as well.
At the junction of the main lodges
high up on the hill from the companys
workings, there is a tremendous iron
blowout and from this, in the early
days, the Shauntie smelter, at Milford,
was supplied with f1ux. This iron car
ries nice values in silver and gold, and
the management expects, when the
drifts from the present shaft workings
cut into this part of the property at
great depth, that mammoth deposits of
frst-class ore will be found The Pro-
gressive is. therefore, one of the COM
ing bOnanZas of the southern country.

CERR0 De PASCO MINES
ROLLING OUT COPPER

The CerTo de Paseo Copper Mining
Co, owned and controlled by j. H.
Haggin and the Hearst estate, operat-
ing in Peru, shipped in the calendar
year 1907, 20,152,00 pounds of copper
to the United States, most of it via
Panama, where 1t was refined by the
Baltimore Refining works of the
American Shelters Securities Corpora
ton, says the Boston News Bureau
December was a record month-ship-
ments being 2,500,0O0 pounds-and this
average is expected to be maintained
during the current year and a produc-
ton of approximately 10000, 600 pounds
for 1908 is anticipated.
A gradual increase from this amount
TO 100000 pounds and possibly u.s.
600 900 pounds is predicted
In a report to the United States gov
eminent just at hand, Charles M. Pep
per, special agent of the United States
at Lima, Peru, says that up to the
present time none of the Peruvian
mines are working below the 40O-foot
level.
The investment OF actual capital UP
to the present time by the Cerro de
Pasco Co. according to Peruvian
representative of the company, has
been S17, 600 gold The heaviest ex-
penditure has been in the construction
of the smelter and accessory works, in
Guiding coke ovens. The company's
orders for material for the enlargement
of the smelling plant and other i'm
provements during 1908 aggregated
$1,500. 900, although some of these may
be deferred.

Mines and Mining Stocks

! coming presidential election, and it is
evident to a close observer that they are
afraid that Taft will be the Republi-
can and Bryan the Democratic nominee,
and they don't want either. The way
! things are moving, it does not look pos
sible that conditions can be settled or
| confidence restored for long time to
come; not until after presidential nom
nations have been made, anyway.
sDuring the six weeks / was in New
York, had ample opportunity to talk
mines and do all that 1 could to boost
for Utah and Salt Lake. From the many
expressions gratuitouSly given by min
ing operators and men who knew some
thing of the business of mining, it was
evident that there is no state in the
west better thought Of than is Utah.
Such expressions as: Well we see very
little of the flaming literature from
Utah that characterizes the advertising
of Nevada promotions, and we hear
nothing of labor troubles in your state,
while the news of dividends, big smelt-
ing enterprises and enormous produce
ton of your mines, all tend to make US
think we'll of your country and its
methods of doing things are heard
everywhere, and they count.
while this is not a good season or
time to undertake the launching of big
new undertakings, 1 can say that there
is more money in New York today that
is willing to take a chance in mining
than the place ever knew before. When
q proposition looks good' to men of
money, they tell you they are willing
to take a chance and go in for greater
or less amounts. They appreciate as
they never did before in their lives the
Importance of the mining industry, and
they are so much opposed to tackling
the railroad and other industrial prop
ositions in which they have been hit so
hard that they are glad to find some
thing else to put their money into. Utah
mining looks good to most of them, and
1 believe that this state is going to re-
ceive a great deal of attention by and
by"

MICHIGAN OPERATORS
BUY INTO GOLD SPRINGS

AS a result of the visit of the TWEEN
ty-one Michigan operators and inves-
tors trip to the Sold Springs district
during the past two or three days the
Buck Mountain Nevada Gold Mines
company, according to the reports
made yesterday, has clinched a deal
that places approximately 100000 at
it's disposal through the sale of 200 900
shares or more of its 100000 shares of
capital stock. AS the guests of Short
& Elliott, the promoters of the COM
pany, the visitors spent a day or two
examining the Snow Flake and other
properties of the corporation and they
returned home, it is said, full of en-
thusiasm and certain that they were
getting into a big thing.
The company. now that its financing
is assured, is planning a big campaign
of development to be followed by the
installation of a great milling plant at
the property, a property that is con-
coded TO be most valua bic one.

u. S. SHELTER SMOKE.
Accident Sunday Morning Made
Things Look Different.

In The Herald's mining department
Sunday morning was a carefully pre-
pared article from Bingham Junction
explaining the workings of the United
States Smelling eompany's 100000
smoke-filtering bag house. 1t was shown
i'm the story that il was impossible for
any deleterious substance to make it's
escape into the great stack which
reaches into lthe air to a height of 275
feet. 1t was also shown that. while the
smelter is yet treating charges of ore
and fluXes aggregating $50 tons or more
day, the smoke is so thoroughly
cleaned of all impurities in the bag
house that it is nearly impossible to see
enough smoke leaving the top of the
stack to show that the plant is operat-
ing at all.
While the story was true in every de-
tail, Ii would be hard to make the pas
sengers who went south from here on
the o'clock trains Sunday morning be-
lieve. Leaving the city there were prob
ably more than 100 passengers who were
reading the story on the way down the
valley. When Bingham Junction was
neared everybody craned their necks to
see whether it was true that so Iauch
ore could be smelted without the stacks
showing any smoke. The verdict was
against the truth of the statements, for,
as the trains rushed by, it was seen that
curling, thin stream of black smoke
was issuing from the stack that was
supposed to be emitting nothing but a
thin and practically undesirable va
por.
Il don't know whether the joke is on
The Herald or the United States COM
pany," said Manager George w. Heintz
yesterday. but the fact remains that
was on the train and saw the black
smoke 1t happened this way: Just as
our train rolled into a position where
good view of the tall stack could be
had, one of the more than 1000 bags in
the bag house burst, and all of the I'M
cleaned material and smoke that it con-
tanned was drawn up the stack. A few
minutes later a new bag had been sub
stituted and there was no more oppor>
tunity to see the black smoke. But that
entire train load Of people evidently be-
lieved the story was untrue.
