COAL FOUND BY
PROSPECTORS
MilliCk Brothers of Ely Report
Discovery in Eastern
Part of County.

A bunch of the energetic Millick BROTH
eTs, Art, Erv and Al, spent few days in
Ely this week. and report finding what
they believe to be a coal vein in the
eastern part of White Pine county, says
the Ely Mining Record.
They brought samples to be submitted
to coal experts and are taking steps to
secure a large acreage in conformity with
the laws applying to coal lands Their
attention was attracted by ashes left at
sheep camps, and after a few days pros
pecting they found where the sheep
herders were getting the fuel and imme-
diately made number of locations They
were not prepared to make the exact loca-
tons public at this time, and told only
a few friends, cOnfidentially.
The Aliilicks have been prospecting in
the old camp of Piermont for some time
where rich silver ores were mined thirty
years ago. and have some excellent show
ings. The ores carry gold, silver, lead
and copper. The silver values have been
found to run above 700 ounces in some
assays.
PiermOnt canyon is on the east side of
the Shell Creek range. almost due east
from the McGill smelter. and promises
to be an important source of ore for
that point.
The Mnlick brothers left for Dolly
Warden Wednesday morning, where they
are developing lead properties.

MORE MINES TO
CONSOLIDATE
Copper Jack and Flying Dutch
man Will Combine Erickson
District Ground.

Eureka, May 10.-A meeting was held
last week Of the stockholders of the Cop
per Jack Mining company of the Erickson
district. at which A4,OO0 shares were rep
resented. The following gentlemen were
elected TO the directorate: George Han
sen, Wilman Carter, AL Pettis. DR.. Taylor
of Salt Lake, l.. l.. Archer of Salt Lake
and j. V. NJ. Dorr of Denver, Colo. The
resignation of j. G. Jensen as president
director and general manager, was ten
dered and accepted. a meeting will be
held on the 18th inst. for the purpose Of
electing president, vice president and
general manager.
Word was received last Tuesday by
Secretary l.. Blackett that the terms of
fered by the Copper Jack company to
the Flying Dutchman management for
consolidation of the two companies had
been accepted and nothing remains now
but the ratification at a special stock
holders meeting, which will be called inn
mediateIy.
The terms of consolidation will be an
nounced after this meeting. BY the con-
sOlidatiOn OF these two properties a
group will be formed that will contain
about forty claims, and there is no ques-
ton that the shaft on the Copper Jack,
which has three compartments, will be
sent down another hundred feet with two
shifts, and one shift will be put to work
at the same time on the Flying Dutch
man.

PANGUITCH IN THR0ES
OF GOLD EXCITEMENT

There is great excitement at Panguitch
and vicinity. The reason for the per-
turbed condition is the reported discov-
cry of gold near Tropic. Some parties in
that vicinity found some sand rock that
looked good to them and they secured
some samples which We're sent to an as
sayer. Returns from the sample were re-
ceived last Saturday and the values were
astonishing. Sample No. / showed values
of Loo per ton, and the second sample
gave returns of $500 per ton, says the
Richfield Reaper.
When the news of these remarkable
values got noised around there was a YER
liable stampede to the scene of the dis
coYery. This was about six miles in
southeasterly direction from Tropic and
the excitement is spreading every min
ute. There is much speculation as TO
the source Of the gold. as the formation
is fOrbiddng as a gold depository.
Dell Webb and Clement Tibbs were two
of the boys who got the gold craze and
i'm their eagerness to reach the scene they
got the vehicle in which they were driv-
ing into a position that i'm trying to
make a turn the rig capsized and Mr.
Webb had one leg broken. He was taken
back to Panguitch and DIR. Clark was
summoned to attend 10 his injury. Mr.
Tibbs was severely bruised and shaken
up in the wreck. but he was able to
pilot the wounded man back to Pan
guitch.
Samples of ore from the vicinity of
the discovery are being sent daily and if
the values are maintained there will be
d full Pledged mining camp established in
a few weeks.

ELY REVENUE PROPERTY
EXPERTED BY PARISH

John B. Parish, the noted mining engi-
neer of Denver, Colo, accompanied by
c. Z. Mcconnell. banker of Durango,
Colo, and president of the Ely Revenue
Mining company, which owns d group of
claims adjoining the old AUltman and
Chairman mines. upon which great deal
of development work was performed by
Ed Willard and son before the sale of the
same to the Ely Revenue company, are
spending several days here inspecting the
holdings of the company, says the Ely
Expositor.
Today the gentlemen were examining
the workings of the Revenue shaft on the
200-foot level of which Messrs. Willard de-
velOped a large body of high grade mill
ing gold ore.
1t is reported though not confirmed,
that the object of their visit at this time
is for the purpose of making a thorough
examination and testing of the ores in the
mine preparatory TO the commencement
of active work upon them and the install
latiOn of a mill with which to extract the
gold values If their examination proves
the value Of the property TO be what it
has been represented. of which there can
be no doubt. work will likely be begun
on the latter within very short time.

MANY BUTTE COMPANIES
FORCED TO THE WALL

Within the past two years there have
been launched in this district sixty-five
new mining companies. says a Butte dis
patch to the Boston News Bureau. To-
day there are only five of these that are
doing business in their own name. Some
of the new companies were dead before
they were actually floated. Some died in
the teething stage, and many there are
that made good in a sense. but have
been compelled to suspend by the drop
in copper, or litigation. or because Of the
financial stTingency.
Butte is deep mine country so far
as new companies are concerned. Those
who would uncover new ore bodies must
sink for them.
1t is estimated in some quarters that
Butte has expended 100000 on new
mining enterprises during the past two
years. and has little to show for this i'm
menSe outlay.

BOYD BASIN COMING
RIGHT TO THE FRONT

j. A. Welsh and his associates of Cali
fornia recently took up claim on the
north fork of Big creek. near the road
leading into Florence, that possesses a
surprising showing says the Boyd Basin
correspondent of the Humboldt Star.
Heretofore everyone passed up the dyke
of rock by the roadside as the surface
showing WAS not of the average kind.
These gentlemen, in spite of public SEN
timent in the matter, set about and Staked
a claim. They uncovered the face of the
ledge which is thrty-One feet in width,
and put a three-foOt trench across il.
AS a result they are in possession of
a large body of porphyTy-gran ore,
some of which goes better than 500 per
ton.
This fact alone only serves to show
that the hidden wealth of the Florence
mining district is beyond comprehension.
Similar strikes are almost of daily oc-
currenCe.
Enthusiasm prevails everywhere and
progress in Florence seems to have solved
the perpetual motion theory. Panicky
times or no other earthly power can
check the rapid progress and growth in
Florence till she has attained that pO-
sition of prominence which belongs to
her among the notable camps of the
west
To Install Water System.
A contract was let yesterday for a big
waterwOrks system for the town of Flor
ence. The contract was let to Captain
a. 0. Girard and Salt Lake associates by
George A. Lane and L. Bryan, owners of
the tOWnSite
A large string Of freight teams arrives
daily and the town is increasing both in
population and valuation and substantial
improvements are being made rapidly.
The latest addition to the town is the
new Club" where first class accommo-
dations can be had by transients. new
gas plant is being installed for lighting
purposes at the Club" hotel and grill.
A large number of men are working
throughout the district and the different
properties are being put in producing
condition as rapidly as possible and ship
ments will commence in the very near
future. There are no idle men In the
camp and in fact labor is scarce at the
present time.
The opportunities here are good for in
vestments as the mineral showing has
never been surpassed in the state. Per
sonal observation will convince the most
doubling.

ANOTHER BIG COMPANY
FOR GOLD CIRCLE CAMP

The organization in San Francisco u
few DAYS ago of III Gold Circle Mo-
hogan Gold Mining company marks the
entrance into the Gold Circle district of
one of the strongest companies that has
yet gone into that promising field for
mining investments, says the Humboldt
Star.
The company is differed by some of
the most prominent San Francisco and
Alaska mining men. the president being
Jafet Llindeberg and the vice president
Captain o. w. Carlson. both of whom
have been identified with some of the
most important and successful mining en-
terprises in the gold fields of Alaska.
That they have decided to invest in Gold
Circle is a strong demonstration of their
faith in the future of that camp.
j. c. Sewer, the well known Winnie
mucca mining engineer. is secretary of
the company, and the directorate also in
cludes o. A. Margraf, also successful
Alaskan mining man.

L. /. Robertson. a veteran Cave VAL
ley mine operator and rancher, ac-
companied by a. r. Frenzel of Denver,
who makes specially of rare minerals
and expert examinations of rare mineral
deposits, came in from the district this
morning. says the Ely Expositor.
MIR. Frenzel has spent the past month
in the Cave valley district examining
the mines Of Mr.. Robertson, as well as
the general geological and metallurgical
conditions of the district.
After spending sufficient time to thor

tents, Mr.. Frenzel took an option and
bond on the mines of Mr.. Robertson and
Will leave in the morning for Denver TO

and prepare for the beginning of the
development of the property.
To the ExpositOr Mr.. FrenZel stated
this morning that during his eXamina-

presence of large bodies Of hubernite,
wolframite and mOlybdenum ores. which,
notwithstanding the comparative isolation

it is figured that such concentrates are

ed 80 cents a ton for freight and leaves
- cents per ton for mining and all other

In the annual report of the company
Samuel NewhOuse calls attention to the
fact that the labor cost per ton on the
steam shovel work was 1863 cents and
the cost of explosives and fuel Sc cents

whereas it had been previously estimated
that the mining cost would be at least 40
