COLUMBUS CON. BATTLES
WITH HEAVY WATER FLOW

Manager Tony Jacobson of the Column
bus Consolidated has returned from Trip
TO camp. where he has been looking after
work at the property. A big water course
was tapped on the O0-foot level of the
property nearly two weeks ago, and con-
siderable difficulty was experienced IN
the beginning to get it under control,
To make matters worse. a break IN the
big station pump upset all calculations,
and the water rose rapidly in the work
ings. Another big sinking pump was Sc
cured however. and it was not long after
getting it in operation till the water was
well under control
AT first" said Mr.. Jacobson yester-
dav. I'VE had a flow of over 600 gallons
per minute. but ! made no mention of
our difficulties because / did not want to
scare stockholders BY next Sunday or
Monday we will have all the water out,
and [ expect to see the channel complete
" drained i'm the near future. as the
flow is diminishing every day. 1t is now
hardly half what it was in the begin
ming and will. l think, soon give out
entirely We are now running three
pumps with the compressors. l shudder
to think what our expense would be were
il not for the fact that our own electric
power plant supplies all the energy ana
more than is required without having
to resort to the steam plant AS it is,
we hardly notice it.
Mr.. Jacobson also stated that a most
important strike has been made in one
of the Columbus properties. but he de-
clared that it was impossible for him to
going to prove one of the biggest strikes
ever made in the camp of Alta, and se
promises that, just as soon as he can
do so he will release particulars.

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE

A shading of prices doesn't have the eff
feet on this market it used to have. Trad
ers don't get frightened to death at every
little drop any more they simply go in
and take advantage of the declines when
they occur. The market appears to broad
ening all the time and the volume of bus
mess is holding up to what formerly
would have counted as boom proportions.
People who have. been visiting San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles and other places dur
ing the past few weeks, declare that no
market in the country is to be compared
with this one and it is certainly true that
the exchange enjoys a wider outside range
of business than it ever did before. The
metals are strengthening and the mines
are getting ready for regular production
again and the chances seem to favor a
| lively summers business
During the two regular and open board
| calls yesterday A total of 123.3S9 shares OF
/ stock, with a selling value of s52.S22 Is
changed hands. Following is the list OF
| final quotations and record of sales made
| during the day:

MAKING MINES
IN DEEP CREEK

To realize that big results have
crowned the winters campaign of de-
Yelopment work at the Lucy l.. and
Clifton Copper Belt properties, in the
Clifton district. Deep Creek, it is only
necessary to visit the offices of these
companies and see the several hum
dreds of pounds of ore samples that
Manager Frank L. Wilson. who re-
turned from camp Wednesday,
brought in with him.
A great change has taken place in
the Lucy l.. From the 300-foOt in
cline workings on the upper portion
of the property there is now exposed a
fOur-fOOt face of gold-bismuth ore
that looks good enough to eat. The
lowest gold assay had from a sample
of this ore during the past few months
was S21O while il is figured that the
mass will average all of 10 per cent
bismuth. Some of the ore from these
workings carries as much as 6s07 per
cent bismuth and S5,440 in gold, the
latter metal being mostly free and
closely identified with the bismuth as
it occurs in the quartz.
Lower down, and on the east side OF
the hill. a new tunnel has been driven
in a considerable distance. and winze
has been sunk from it in a magnificent
body of copper sulphide ore. A cross
cut from the bottom of the Winze has
gone twenty-five feet into solid chal-
copyrite ore that looks as though 1t
would easily average to 10 per cent
i'm the red metal. Manager Wilson be-
lfeves the ledge will show a width of
at least 100 feet at this point through
the lime to the granite contact, and he
is sanguine that it will prove to be
permanent and i'm place. The property
Uu.ala hi n n
copper ore. and a popularity of it.
Mr.. Wilson points out by the assayS
and tests that have been repeatedly
made. that all the ore carrying copper
also shows 1.65 per cent tin and SO
per cent nickel. He believes this is
the only section of Utah where tin &C.
ours in the copper ores.
Probably the most important strike
of the winter has been made in the
Clifton Copper Belt COmpany's
ground. A five-foot ledge has been
opened up to depth of 100 feet, and
the mass avera ges SIS in gold. $50 pei
cent copper. 1928 per cent bismuth
1.59 per cent tin and 90 per cent nickel
per ton.
I'VE are now mining this character
Of ore every day." said Mr.. Wilson
land lust as soon as | can arrange fOI
marketing it we shall commence send
ing it out. We are i'm hopes that the
Western Pacific will be ready during
the next two or three months to han
die freight across the desert, and if il
| is we shall send in considerable ore
| as a haul of between thirty-five ano
! forty miles will land the stuff at the
railroad. We are not going to be sat

TREMENDOUS FLOW OF
WATER IN MINE AT ELY

The Francis NJ. shaft of the Ely BOnan-
"a Copper company was Hooded with
flow of underground water last Friday
night which rose TO within about 100 feet
from the surface, putting stop to all
work says the Ely sEXpOsitOr.
The shaft is about 40 feet deep, and
prosecuting was in progress on the 100
foot level to reach a contact which is
exposed on the surface east of the shaft
After the smoke from the shots fired
Friday afternoon had cleared from the
shaft. Ike Bevel, the foreman, made a
trip TO the face of the drift to see if
the contact had been reached as had been
expected, and at that time there was no
indication of any quantity of water. Be
fore letting the miners down in the morn
ing IL is customary to let the empty
bucket down ana pull it up again to make
sure the machinery is in good order.
When this was done Saturday morning
the bucket met with some obstruction at
about 100 feet from the surface, and it
was thought that a cavern had occurred.
The bucket took in a load of something
and when it came from the collar of the
shaft the surprising fact was learned
that IL contained water.
Bevel went down in the bucket after it
was emptied and took along a short board,
which he rut between the shaft timbers
to stand on while he sized up the situa-
ton While standing on it the water
rose to his ankles and he concluded moth
ing but a large pump would be of any
service, and Immediately laid off the force
and came to Ely to telegraph the COM
pany.
The finding of such quantity of water
in what has hitherto been regarded as
one of the very dryest sections in the
district OccasiOned much surprise and
speculation on the part of mining men
familiar with that part. One of the the
cries INDUCED in is that, owing to the low
or elevation of the Francis NJ. shaft and
the nearness TO the contact which is be-
iieved to be the same as that near the
hr
water comes from the same source and
when the Francis NJ. is pumped out 1t
may drain the Giroux ground. causing
another delay in the plans Of that COM
pany. as they have been expecting to
supply the concentration with water
pumped from their mines.
The Ely Bonanza company is backed by
millionaires in Scranton, Pa, and New
ark y. J.. who also own the Scranton
mine at Tintic. Utah. as well as coal, iron
and asbestos mines in other parts of the
United States and Canada, and it is moi
likely the water problem will deter then
from continuing work here.

NOW FOR OIL IN
JUAB COUNTY

Within a week the Juab Oil compa-
ny VIII have one of the finest drilling
rigs that was ever turned out by the
keystone company boring for oil
within 200 feet of the railroad station
of Juab, on the San Pedro line, in
Juab county. The rig, which has been
long time coming from the east, was
delivered at Juab on Wednesday. and
is probably unloaded by this time.
This drilling rig weighs $4,000 pounds.
and the more than 5000 feet of casing
that comes with it weighs 40, 00O
pounds and includes pipe ranging in
size from twelve inches to five and
one-half inches. In the outfit is a thir-
ty-horSe power boiler and a twenty
hve-horse power engine, a double
masted derrick and other parapherna-
liza that goes to complete the equip
ment. The bit and stem used for Dor
ing weighs 5000 pounds, and the ma
chinery permits of the dropping OF
this weight forty-five times a minute.
The outfit is guaranteed to work to a
depth of 5000 feet, and the expert crew
that is due from the east to operate it
will be making things hum in a few
days.
When Secretary George r. Ray
mond was down the line Wednesday
to see that the rig had arrived in good
shape he found that folks all through
the county had heard Of the appear
ance of the rig, and expects that
everybody will be out to see it during
the next day or two. He has wired
for General Manager F. w. Dunn to
come back from Los Angeles and take
up the work at the well, and has re
ceived word that he will leave at once.
Colonel Dunn has been on the sick list
and went to the coast about ten days
ago to wear out a bad cold. He viii.
be at Juab today or tomorrow, having
fully recovered.
1t was Colonel f. w. Dunn who first
made an examination of the Juah
county oil fields, and he was not long
in reaching the conclusion that oil in
large quantities existed there. Later
he had the satisfaction of having his
opinion more than confirmed by DR.. l.
A. Crandell. the noted oil expert OF
Los Angeles. who examined the field
and tested it with his Instruments in
behalf of j. H. Burtner, division pas
senger agent of the San Pedro rail
road. who is also largely interested in
the field. Still further confirmation
came of Colonel Dunn's opinion wheT
j. w. Frank, another widely known
expert. made an examination of tbs
field for the British syndicate, which
during the early winter secured 500
acres of land in the field from the Bur
ton crowd on a basis of 100000.
DR.. Crandelrs report states tina
around Juab oil will be encountered "A
the shallow depth of $50 feet in 400 t.
$50 barrel quantities, while, working
to a depth of 1000 feet no less than siI
oil-bearing strata will be encountered
Colonel Dunn previously made thu
statement, and it now looks as though
it would not be many weeks. and pos
sibly not many days, after the Jual
company's rig goes into commission
that there will be more excitement il
Juab county than anything that ha
ever taken place there, even to the In
dian wars of the early days of its set
| tlement.

WABASH MINE Is
GRADUALLY IMPROVING

At the Wabash company's Park City
property Manager Nicholas Treweek re-
ports good progress being made in the
development and exploration of the big
ledge 1t has now been drifted in for
more than 300 feet and ore carrying from
80 TO 80 ounces silver with some lead
and some copper, is being encountered all
the time. At one point a raise is now up
thirty feet. and the showing in this. Man
ager Treweek says, is particularly encour-
aging.
Where the naturalization is so gen
eral as we are now finding it, said Mr..
Treweek, Il cannot believe other than
that. sooner or later, we shall open into
a body of ore that will put all our trOu-
bles behind us. We may have to drift
until a cross-fissure is cut, but of ulti-
mate results | never felt more certain
than / do at the present moment"
Manager Treweek will leave for camp
again this morning, after just one day in
town
