t0-date one, has been ordered by Manager
David Evans for the Indian Queen COM
panys property, east of Newhouse, in
Beaver county AS every particle of the
equipment was carried in stock in this
city by the Utah Mining & Machinery
company, from which it was purchased
Manager Evans expects TO have il in
commission before the end of the present
month.
We shall get our power from the Bea-
yer Power company and we are promised
that the poles will be placed and the
wires strung from Newhouse without a
moments delay" said Manager Evans
Cash has been paid for the plant and
as we nave approximately 5000 still left
in the treasury, the tunnel can be pushed
ahead for some time to come without ex-
haustlng our operating fund"
The tunnel on the Indian Queen. which
is designed TO open known ore bodies in

fore the developed portion of the COM
pany'S large territory is reached. is now
in a distance of something over 500 feet
Up to the present the work has all been
done by hand and the management has
determined that greater Roadway shall
be made. After the power drills are
brought into play it will be no trick
at all TO make 100 feet month and. be-
fore the present year has been brought
to close the Indian Queen should be ad-

We're located within about 1900 feet of the
Hero-NeVada, a proposition owned and
operated by Salt Lake men and which

ington, but there is such a network of
crOss-fissures that it is essential that we
do considerable open-cut and pit pros
pecting before undertaking the real work
of deep exploration. We have made a
couple of strikes within the past ten days
and at different points in our ground We
have uncovered ore running all the way
from $40 to over $500 per ton in gold and
silver.
I'VE have many Colorado mining men in
the district who have learned what it
means TO sink deep shafts and drive long

termined to do things right in the Seven

the better for it: in fact We are demon

When the shaft has been cleared the

At the concentration Mr.. Walters says
everything is being placed in readiness
for the earliest possible beginning of

CACTUS MINE
IS A WHALE"
So Declares A. D. Moffat, Who
Has lust Surrendered the
Superintendency.

After remaining long enough at the
property to generally familiarize his sue
cessor, T. R. Drummond, with the mine
workings. Superintendent A. d. Moffat OF
the Cactus bonanza of the Newhouse
Mines and SHELTERS corporation, took his
final leave and returned to his home in
this city Thursday.
Mr.. Moffat rendered his resignation
nearly six months ago, not because OF
any friction with the company, but De-
cause he was unwilling to remain longer

grind of detailed application that the
position demanded. Mr.. Moftat LOOK
charge of the property at a time when
it's future seemed to be in the balance
and he has been given full credit for dis-
closing the secrets of nature that tne
ground had carefully concealed and MADE
a wonderful mine what was nothing more
than a fine prospect when he took charge.
Something new, something hardly sus-
pected, has been developed in the mine
with nearly every month that he has Oh
rected the opening of the mine until to-
day he declares that the property Is slih-
ply a whale
Il am sure that in Mr.. Drummond the
company has secured a valuable man,
said Mr.. Moffat yesterday. and since ms
arrival at camp l have done the best
could to make him acquainted with the
property. 1t was impossible to show him
everything in the time at my disposal
and had 1 remained month longer, there
would surely have been something over
looked that his attention might have been
directed to- But he will learn it all right
and I have no doubt that the mine will
continue to grow in size and Importance
until ii outclasses all of the copper mines
of this region.
While Mr.. Moffat would neither affirm
or deny the report that he would remain
on the Newhouse staff. stating that he
was not certain what he would do in the
future.
