of Provo boosters. who have been fair
~ successful in other camps. The COM
pany owns a nice slice of ground n the
heart of the mineral zone, on which a
patent is about to issue. 1t has pros
pected its ground by a number Of tan-
nels and open cuts, and this prelim-
mary work has shown a sufficient ton
mage of high-grade copper and silver
ore to justify the optimism of its stock
holders and dispel ali doubts OF Its
early success in the minds of those who
are acquainted with the property.
Tornado Gold Mining.
Another company with a promising
future is Tornado Gold Mining COM
pany financed by Chicago capital This
was one of the first companies founded
to operate in the La Sal mountains, and
owns the only property that produces
nothing but free milling gold ore. More
than a hundred tons of this ore taken
from various drifts and tunnels while
prospecting the ground has been milled,
and an average of about $3.50 per ton
taken from the plates. 1t would seem
that nothing stands between this COM
pany and prosperity but plant TO treat
its ore.
King Copper Reigns.
Gold, silver, copper and lead have
been found in many of the prospects OF
the La Sal district, but copper is the
dominant metal, and it is the consensus
of opinion among mining experts who
have studied the region that it will be
a copper camp and one of the heaviest
producers in the state, if not in the
entire west. The fact is, there are sew
eral properties in the La Sal district
that have been sufficiently developed to
place them beyond the class called
prospects. They are mines. and would
be steady shippers If they were on the
| line of the railroad. AS it is, being thir-
| ty-six miles from Cisco, the nearest
shipping point there is very little Of
| the ore produced that will stand the
| long haul and leave a sufficient mar
| gin to pay a dividend But every min
/ ing camp in the west has had similar or
| worse conditions to contend with in it's
early days, and the Rio Grande West
ern Railway company has already made
a preliminary survey with the view Of
running a branch line into the district
] If this is not done i'm the near future,
/ some of the heaviest producers will join
/ forces for the purpose of controlling a
| concentration to reduce their ores.

the commonwealth or the development
of new avenues for the creation of
wealth out of undeVeloped resources
Therefore, the city of Salt Lake has
been the recipient of large beneficence
from these sources direct from the own
ers of the Silver King, and the city has
profited largely, though indirectly,
through the existence of the Silver
King at Park City.
The acreage represented in the Sill

Diary lines is one of the largest in the
west from a mining standpoint, MAX
ing it almost an empire and all gath
cred together with the one aim of secur-
ing valuable mineral ground with all
due consideration to the apex rights.
The amalgamation of the various prop
critics has been possible through the
compromise made between the Silver
King company and the McGregor inter-
ests, since which time Senator Kearns
has been employed in the rounding up
of many additional groups of claims
The properties at present held by the
companies give a total area of over
1900 acres, and among them are several
groups which have made history of the

each and all of the present officials

will still be carried ON by that COM
pany should not an additional foot of
territory be added to that already pos
sessed. The Silver King, according to
the reports of those who have visited
the property recently, has not been ex-
hadsted by any means. and it will still
provide thousands upon thousands of
dollars in the future as dividends

Among the first steps which were
taken in the energetic campaign which

agement, was the installing of Mr..
Schulz as mine superintendent He is

schools in the country, and has been
actively engaged in mining in Butte
and other parts of Montana for several
years
All of the systematic campaigns
which have been carried out by the
management since the formation of the
new company have been directed by the
mine superintendent, and all of them
have been successful beyond the expec-
tations of the managers of the prop
erty.
1t was he who advised the abandon
ment Of the development work in the
western end of the tunnel where
were found the fragmentary sec
tons OF what was supposed
to be broken off ore from the
main vein. He is also the initiator in
the work which is now being done in
the drifting from the 200-foot level of
the man shaft toward the vein where
it is supposed to dip from the outcrop-
pings indicated on the surface.
Latest Mining Machinery.
While the mine has been worked for
several years by the old company, it

mental concern of it's kind in Utah
In the Silver King Coalition Mines
company Utah can claim the proud dis
tinction of having one of the greatest
slver-lead mines in the world. After
having taken out something like va
900, 900 in ores during the past twenty
years, eminent mining engineers nave
estimated that the ores which remain
yet to be mined will aggregate some
thing like s3o,0O0,00O
At no time in it's history has the
Silver King Coalition had such oppor-
tunities as will be presented during
the coming year. Its great bedded veins
have been opened to considerable depth,
and a greater tonnage of ores is now
in sight than at any time in its entire
career 1t has the most competent corps
of engineers that has ever been gath
cred together in Utah, and in M. j.
DALEY, its efficient mine manager, IL
has a man who has spent years in that
camp, the greater part of which has
been in the great ore zone owned by the
Coalition.
This company has never been con-
fronted by a great water flow, such as
is often encountered in mines that carry
the development work from LOCO TO
1000 feet from the surface. In that
portion of the ground known as the
Alliance territory they have encoun-
tered several water courses which are
handled through a great tunnel that is
! something like two miles in length.
Here a great depth has been reached
and a large tonnage of ores has been
opened up. By reason of the depth
obtained. ground has been squeezed to
hold in place, and to avoid further ex-
pense they are extracting this ore and
| moving it across the ore zone, allowing
| it to cave in after the forces have taken
| out the values. This enables the COM
pany to mine these veins to the surface
without the cost of having to keep the
ground i'm place while they extract the
values that make to the surface.
Connections have been made between
the various parts of the great Coalition
underground working with the Alliance
| tunnel and the main working shaft OF
| the company. In the tunnel connections
| there are the avenues for drainage OF
| the immense watersheds that are
tapped, and from this source they OBJ

LITTLE BELL OF PARK CITY

Bell will continue without diminishing
for several years to come.
The property Of the Little Bell Min
ing company is situated near Park City,
and adjoins the great mines of the
Daly-West, which is one of the steady
dividend-paying properties of the dis
trict, as well as the famous Ontario
mine.
The claims of the Little Bell company
lie squarely on the ore zone. which has
produced so great a tonnage in the
DAILY, Ontario and Daly-West. The
property of the company is excelIently
equipped with plant machinery of the
latest type. and has all of the buildings
found on all of the well regulated mines
of the district. All of the machinery is
on scale sufficient to mine on an ex-
tensive scale.
Bright Future in Store.
With the expansion of the develop
ment work of the company it is the in
tention of the management to install
whatever mining machinery and other
appliances that may be necessary for
carrying out the systematic campaign
which it is the intention of the man
agement to inaugurate soon after the
first of the year
The president of the company is Scion
Spiro. who is one of the best known
mining men in this western country. It
is due largely to the energetic efforts
of Mr.. Spiro that the great work of de-
veloping and carrying out the improve
ments in the mine has been done. The
coming year is one of promise for the
Little Bell, and the mana cement looks
forward to one of the best years in the
history of the company.

The Gold Mountain Marysvale coun-
try has done nothing sensational or out
of the ordinary during the past year
Though traversed by many mammoth
lodges OF gold-silver and silver-lead
ores. and while large sums OF money
have been realized from the operation
of such properties as the Annie Laurie,
SEWER, B. w. & H. and other mines,
there seems TO be a ''hoodoo" on the
land that cannot be dissipated Wheth-
or il is lack of money with which 20 de-
Velop, or whether 1t is want of the right
kind of talent to spend the money when
ii is provided, matters little, for in
either case it seems impossible TO keep
things going right for any length of
time.
Immense sums have been expended
and dozens OF companies have gone
broke in the effort TO make mines. and
where mines have been made and the
companies should be prospecting today,
failures have had to be recorded. II
the whole business was sifted 10 the
bottom, it would probably be found
that the greatest source of trouble has
been that men not trained in the mining
business have generally had the ex-
penditure OF funds which. had they
been applied by men who knew their
business, would have brought splendid
lasting results.
Because a man is capable of running
a bank, a shoe factory, a Touring mill
or brokerage business. does not neces-
sarily mean that he is capable of run
ming a mine, a quartz mill or a smelter.
One man is any of the businesses or
professions named may be just as ca
Fable as another in ability to raise
money; but 1t requires a different class
of talent and training TO take hold of a
mine, even a rich mine, and make it
pay. and it generally pays a mining
company to have men who understand
the business, men who command high
salaries, to make successes of mining.

the company was assured. Devoting

The La Sal mountains, situated in San
Juan and Grand counties. is a mining
district that is only recently receiving
share of the attention it merits from
capitalists and mining investors.
For the past ten years 100 or more
early lOcators have worked their ar
nual assessment during the summer
months, and drifted to other camps to
earn another grub stake during the
winter, hoping each year to interest
capital TO help them develop their
claims. few have been successful.
and companies have been found TO
finance and develop some of the more
promising properties. and had it not
been for the fall in the market price of
metals and the sudden upheaval in the
financial world a year ago, there is no
doubt that at least three companies
would have installed machinery during
the past season, and while none of the
more active companies ceased opera
tons entirely. they cut down their force
and postponed contemplated invest
ments until more propitious times.
The Boston & Utah company is
financed and controlled by Boston cap
italists who have made their fortunes
in the red metal, and the fact that they
had the ground thoroughly examined
by competent experts before investing
augurs well for the future of the COM
pany and the camp.
During the past year this company
has spent a large sum Of money in
making wagon roads and erecting
buildings suitable for the accommoda-
ton of about twenty-five men. 1t has
prospected the surface of its ground by
numerous tunnels and shafts, and early
next spring VIII install machinery to
facilitate the completion of a working
tunnel which will cross-cut a number
of known veins and tap a large deposit
of copper ore at a depth of 1900 feet.
Rio DeIoros Copper.
The Rio Deloros Copper company.
with headquarters at Denver, has a
lease on several highly mineralized
claims. and while it has placed thou
sands of dollars in circulation in the
past two years the most of the money
has been spent in making roads and
erecting buildings preparatory to the
