Alexander smart at fehrl, iuanO'
The Lucky Ridge leasers at Pearl,
Idaho, have struck some good LOOK,
ing ore in their crosscut tunnel The
Dewey leasers expect to strike their
ledge soon.
The Nellie Mining company at
Horseshoe Bend has. force of men
at work cleaning out the long tunnel,
preparing for vigorous prosecution
of development.
The plant of the Warren Refining
company, at Warren, Pa. owned by
C. w. and M. W. Jameson, was de
stroyed by fire during storm last
week. Loss, 100000.
Judging by the returns from the
more important mining centers, the
| production of coal in the United
States during the current year will
not equal that for 1907.
At the present time Florence. Ne
vada, has no custom mill. The best
In the line of a gold extractor is an
old arrastre. Thus far during the
present month this produced $1,000.
Preparations are under way to be-
gin sinking the Easter shaft at Pearl.
Idaho, about July 1. II Is the inten-
ton Of the management To sink to the
300-foot level and then crosscut for the
ledge.
The salaries and incidental ex-
penses OF officials of the American
Smelling & Refining company have
been reduced $750,000, according to
Daniel Guggenheim, chairman and
president of the. company.
The old Red Cloud mine at HALEY,
Idaho, with a record Of having pro.
duced over million. dollars, Is now
In the hands Of strong Salt Lake
syndicate and will be opened In July,
when a large force Of men will be. put
to work.
Milford Is all agog with excitement
over some wonderfully rich strikes
that have been simultaneously made
In number of mines in the Star dis
trict A strike has been made of ore
that shows 70 per cent lead and 80
ounces silver.
Just at present the question OF
wages is causing some trouble mt
some Of the mines at HALEY, Idaho,
and some Of the properties are closed
on this account, but IL Is expected
that this matter will soon be adjusted
satisfactorily to all parties concerned.
Since the first of June the develop
ments in refined copper, from the
standpoint of production and consump-
ton, have been entirely in favor of
lower prices, but the speculative man
euvering has been strong enough to
actually advance the domestic market.
Within thirty days shipments Of ore
will begin from the Hercules mine,
near Burley, Idaho. A force OF fifteen
men has been put to work on the
property, and the force will be in
creased to seventy-five as soon az
practical. This promises to become
one of the richest properties In the
state.
A 100-ton concentrating mill is JUST
being completed on the Muldoon prop
erty at HALEY, Idaho, the machinery
for which is now in the depot at Belle
vue. from which point 1t win be
freighted as soon as the roads will
permit. There will also be installed
a modern electrical plant Of $50
horse power.
The Tamarack mine holds the dis
tinction of being the deepest mine
in the world. and is the deep level
of the Michigan copper country.
There are FIVE shafts ON the Tama
| -. 90 LII
tically idle. No. shaft is about $500
feet deep, intercepting. the lode at a
vertical depth Of 4185 feet.
william e. Gallagher, the big mining
operator who recently purchased con-
troll OF the Reliance company at Tena-
DO. and reorganized the proposition
as the Gem Consolidated, was in Salt
Lake last week. buying machinery and
equipment for the mines. II Is under
stood that Mr.. Gallagher proposes to
operate the property on an extensive
scale.
II Is said that upon the ranch where
the new oil rig Of the Juab Oil com.
pany Is being erected, a farmer once
drilled for water When he had
gained a depth of about 800 feet, black
thick material oozed out of the hole,
each time the drill was removed. The
farmer gave up drilling for water and
had the hole plugged up. Some peo-
pie are OF the opinion. that the ma
terial which oozed out of the hole was
oil. ~
General Manager Gillie Of. the Anal
samated Copper company properties
has issued an official starement con.
corning the fires in the Anaconda and
st. Lawrence mines, misleading
statements concerning which were
sent from Butte. " Mr.. Gillie says that
the blaze, which has been raging con-
tinuously since 1889. Is. no worse than
