which gave description Of the work in
the United States. Mrs. Barrett
stated that the American Councils

conditions for women prison rs and

JORDAN LEASE A
REGULAR SHIPPER

Superintendent Robbie of the Jor-
dan lease on the Queen Mascot re-
ports the shaft down to the 10 foot
mark and for thirty-nine feet above
the bottom of the Kearns vein is in
the hole. This vein for this distance
pans values and gives values in the
assay that show that there is an i'm
mense amount of milling ore
enough in sight in the shaft to make
the dividends forthcoming without
the four figure high grade that was
left in the drifts at the forty-four
foot point. A station will be cut at
the 120 and then the management
will start for the richness of the
Kearns vein as well as to drive to the
extraordinary rich silver-gold ore
that is in sight and in place above.
The latter is expected to be reached
at about thirty feet from the bottom
of the hole and the Kearns richness
they expect to cut at any distance
from the bottom. A shipment of
thirty tons of the rich silver rock is
now being prepared to be sent to the
Hazen sampler on Tuesday next.
Careful sampling by three assayers
give result of over 5000 per ton for
the shipment. Superintendent Robbie
says that as soon as the hoist is in
stalled he will require a greatly in
creased working staff, and that he
will rush his work to the depths
where he has every confidence of
! opening bonanza, and one that will
not take second place to any property
in the camp. Robbie says: 1--WE are
now preparing the third shipment to
the mill and l have every reason to
believe that we will soon be able to
make daily shipments from the prop
erty. "--Rawhide Rustler

ore in the south drift and stope. The
IIsfze of the vein in the south is get
ting bigger and now breaks free from
the walls of quartz in the three-foot
vein that makes the stripping of the
high grade an easy matter. The
company is now raising three sacks
of better than $170O per sack daily,
and shipments to the mill OF the
middlings and screenings give settle
ments of SAIL per ton, which is the
making of dividends. The manage
ment, which is Shaffer and Claiming,
will begin their daily shipments of all
classes of their product soon as the
hoist is installed. The big plant has
been in the ditch near Sand springs
for almost week, caused by the
breaking down of the freighting out
fit. The bullion that is being melted
in bars is still going to the mint at
San Francisco at the rate OF two per
week. This alone is putting money
in the treasury at the rate of about
$4,000. The wreck that has delayed

PLEASED
IIWITH BLAIR Mines

Manager Martin L. Effinger of the
Pittsburg-Silver Peak Mining COM
pany, which is opening a large gold
proposition at Blair, Nevada, was in
this city this week, says the Salt Lake
Telegram. He said they were doing
nicely at both the mine and mill in
that section, and that since the mill
started on its reduction of ores March
3, up to July 13, total production
of $349,236.91 had been made.
Part of this time there was only a
portion of the mill in commission and
the production at the start was small
Now the entire plant has been round
ed into shape, and the average out
put each month is sos 900 gross and
$4,000 net. The mill has capacity
of only $50 tons daily, yet it is capa.
Bile of showing a net earning of 25
per cent on its capitalization of So
100000. Up to the present time,
though the reduction plant has been
in commission less than six months,
there has been accumulated profits of
100000, and should the directors
see fit they they can begin the pay
ment of dividends this fall. 1t is pos
sible that the owners may decide to
build up large surplus before the
dividends are started.
A few years ago Martin L. Effinger
was engaged in the mining business
in Utah, and had the backing of some
Michigan people. One of these cap
italists failed, and by reason of this
the Efinger properties were involved
in some extent in the settlement OF
the Detroit estat. Effinger began to
cast about for a new opening in the
mining field, and after looking a
number of new camps of Nevada
over, such as Goldfield, Tonopah and
others, he hit upon the trial of these
Silver Peak properties.
Gathering around himself mum
Der of Pittsburg and Salt Lake CAPT
talists, including Frank Knox, he be-

that he Immediately reported to his
associates the ACCESSIBILITY of con.
structing reduction plant for the
treatment of the rock at the mine and
thus save the expense of Transports

That the mill has been a success il
every particular is ascribed to the
splendid record just made, and it il
said that the largest interests ma.
consider the advisability of increasing
the capacity within another year. TIL,
