PLANNING NEW COPPER
METAL SELLING COMPANY

Much dissatisfaction has been eX-
pressed by copper producers in general
with the manner in which the copper
situation has been handled by the Unit
ed Metals Selling company during the
past year. 1t is thought in some quar-
ters that this may result in the forma-
ton of an entirely new selling COM
pany, says the Boston News Bureau.
A plan has been under informal dis
cussion looking to the organization of
a company in which each producing
interest will be a stakeholder in pro-
portion to its output of copper, such
proportion or allotment being subject
to revision every two years. Under
such a scheme each company would Sc
cure for itself any benefits arising from
the sale of copper and have voice in
its disposition.
1t is recognized that a central selling

The contract between the United
Metals Selling company and the Amer
lean Smelling & Refining interests ex-
pires this year, and it would not be
surprising if the first step along the
above lines is carried out at the ex-
piratiOn of this contract, The Ameri-
can Smelling & Refining company al
ready has adequate refining capacity
The latter company now controls over
100, 000, 900 pounds of annual copper pro-
duction. and will probably add to this
production on the starting up of the
Ely companies within a couple of
months.

RICH ORE ENCOUNTERED
IN THE DOLLY WARDEN

Manager George NJ. Nix of the Dolly
Warden Copper company's mines in the
Dolly Warden district, returned last
night from tour of inspection of the
property and an investigation of the
reported strike of high-grade silver
and copper ore by leasers on one of
the claims, says the Ely Mining Ex-
positOr.
Manager Nix states that Messrs.
Austin, Cole and Gable. who are work.
ing on a lease on the Dolly No. Q,
have recently made strike of very
rich silver ore in tunnel, which is be-
ing run through the porphyry dixie to
the quartz contact. The contact had
not been reached, but a good body of
high-grade silver-leadgOld ore had
been opened up within a few feet of
the tunnel to the contact, where it is
anticipated the main body and very
rich ore will be encountered.
On one of the other claims in the
group and but a few hundred feet
south of where the rich silver ore was
discovered, and on the Dolly No. 1, the
leasers have also opened very fine
showing of high grade copper ore, in
an altogether new and heretofore I'M
prospected portion of the ground.
In view Of these new discoveries,
coupled with the amount of ore the
Dolly Warden company already had
in many of the other workings on the
mines. Manager Nix had just cause to
feel somewhat elated over the present
condition of the property and its fu-
ture outlook for active production.

MANY PROPERTIES MERGE
AT sewn TR0UGHS

Seven Troughs, New, April 5.-The
Seven Troughs Merger Mining COM
pany is the name of a coalition being
formed here, based upon a string of
well known properties stretching at in
tervals for at least five miles through
the very heart of the Seven Troughs
ore zone. The officers and directors of
the corporation are: Judge c. K. Bone
stell of San Francisco, president; c. d.
Ray of Salt Lake, vice president; E. T.
Olson of Salt Lake, secretary; E. r.
Savage of Reno, cashier of the Bank
of Mazuma. treasurer; W. NJ. OdelI of
Pocatello, director.
The Mother Lode group, the Merger
lease on the Therein property in Seven
Troughs canyon, the Minnehaha group
in Wild Horse canyon and the Dead
Soldier group in Burnt canyon, have
already been acquired, and are 10 be
the nucleus of a still vaster aggrega-
ton of properties.
Upon this big estate, it is said. daring
and comprehensive projects of devel-
opment have been planned Among
these is the plan for exploiting the
Merger lease underlying the center of
the town of Seven Troughs, and boun-
daried by such celebrated producers as
the Kindergarten mine, Wihuja lease
on the Therein, Frye lease on the The
rien, the Reagan & Hayes on the Ma
yuma Hills, the Fine Gold. Although
known gold-bearing veins course
through this block from the Mazuma
Hills to the kindergarten, townsite in
terests have kept 1t from being leased
until now.

Tintic Mining Notes.
Eureka Reporter.)

>
Preparations are now being made to
sink the shaft at the Little Chief mine.
The shaft is now down a distance of 100J
feet and we understand that the manage
ment has decided to drop the workings
down a few hundred feet farther While
this sinking is going on the usual devel-
opment work will be carried on upon the
LOCO level. The work which the Ameri-
can Mines Syndicate company is also do
ing through the Little Chief workings
will go on without interruption.
B. II. Bullock, who was in camp yester-
day from Provo. says that the cToss-cut
Bullock mine at Silver City is now in a
distance of fifty-six feet and that the vein
will be cut within a very few days. The
company is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of running another cross-cut to the west
for the purpose of cutting a couple of
parallel veins and Mr.. Bullock believes
that with the opening up of these veins
the property will be one OF the best in that
section of Tintic.
The Gemini Mining company has just
purchased a 500 horsepower electric pump
which should be delivered at the mine
within the next sixty days The ore de-
posits which have been opened up in the
lower workings of the Gemini within the

SOUTH SWANSEA
MAY Be IN DEAL
Tintic Believes That Jesse
Knight Will Add 1t to
the Swansea.

1t is reported from Eureka, and the
report seems to have foundation in
fact, that there will soon be a consol-
idation of the Swansea and South
Swansea companies. If it does not
come to that, there is no question but
that both properties will be operated
IN the near future and that both will
be making money. The hosting and
other machinery at the Swansea is
now being overhauled, and just as soon
as the new electric sinking pump is
received and installed the unwatering
of the mine will begin. During the
past week the Wheeiers, who control
the South Swansea, have been\at camp
looking into conditions, and, as il is
impossible to pump the Swansea out
without draining the South Swansea,
there is nothing to prevent the latter
company from going ahead with the
deeper development of that mine and
the extraction of the better. grade of
ores that have been submerged by
the waters that make both mines.
For several years past the South
Swansea has refrained from working
below the water level, because the
Swansea company was unwilling to
join In the cost of pumping the mines,

gether. Now that Uncle Jesse knight

agements now. and, as the ores from
both mines are practically Identical in
character and both of a most desira-
BILE character for fluxing purposes, it is
but natural that, when mining begins,
both properties will be producing regu-
larry.
At camp 1t is believed that Mr..
Knight has already become interested
in the South Swansea. If that is true
1t is not likely that he will stop be-
fore he has captured the control or at
least entered into an agreement that
will insure the output of the South
Swansea mine for his smelter When
new levels are opened below the water
level and when both mines have been
placed in shape for drainage and pro-
duction, they will not be long getting

Three Years Ore Ahead.

In his report of mine operation and
development. Superintendent c. c.
Griggs went into considerable detail,
first explaining the condition of the
mine at the time he took charge. He
then showed what had since been done
In the way of connecting up differ
ent portions of the mine, tracing out
the ore bodies, opening up slopes and
making possible the handling of the
mine at a minimum of cost. He es-
Inmates that there is now practically
$1,000 worth of ore in the bins, and
states in his summary that the actual
amount of ore now in sight in the
mine with q reasonable allowance for
probable ore, not blocked out, is suf-
ficient TO keep up production at last
years rate for three years to come.
He considers the chances for the find
ing and opening up of new shoots of
ore just as bright, if not brighter, for
the future than they have been in the
past. and eongratulates the company
on the prospects ahead.
There was 697 153 shares of the 500

splendid showing was made in the
reports submitted at the annual meet
ing Of the May Day Mining & Mill
ing company, held yesterday afternoon.
Notwithstanding the fact that during
the first four months of the fiscal year
the output was comparatively light and
that not pound of ore has been mined
and sold during the past three months,
the accompanying statements show
that a total of 1873 1-2 carloads, of
crude ore and 10 1-2 carloads of con-
centrates were marketed during the
time that the mine was operated. While
the tonnage is not figured in the re-
ports submitted, 1t was explained at
the offices of the company after the
meeting that the approximate weight
of the carloads was thirty tons. The
figures given indicate that the crude
ore netted the company close to $1,000
a carload, while the concentrates ship
ped brought over 81, 500 carload. The
year commenced with a cash balance

The company owns Voluabie mines
and other properties at Phoebe, and,
in its Susan Buster mines in particu-

is the purpose TO continue develop

over the Susan Buster will be equipped
with heavy machinery and a concen-
trating mill of large capacity, after
which production on a large scale will
be inauguTated.
While the management Of this COM
pany is always averse to parading the
worth of its mines in print, men who
are we'll posted and able of judging

The week opened on change yesterday
with prices clinging close around Satur-

became evident that public buying was
not to be expected as, a result of improved
smelter conditions and a number of the

$500 GOLD ORE AT
CHERRY CREEK

Word came down from Cherry creek
last night that Charles Phaian, vet
eran prospector of that camp, had just
made a strike in a thirty-foot shaft of
ore assaying $500 per ton in gold, says
the Ely Mining ExpOsitor.
The ground is said to be located just
north of town, but no particulars con-
corning the formation or the character
of the ore could be learned in Ely.
However, the report of a discovery
of ore like this coming from the old
camp of Cherry Creek, which has been
productive of so much high-grade gold
and silver ores for years past, is not
surprising, nor perhaps not without a
good foundation in fact.
