Much Interesting Work Going on
In Various Parts OF Old
Nevada Camp.
PRINCE CON. is A WINNER.
Strike of Great importance Made in
That Property-,Iack Rabbit
Railway.
snecIaI Correspondence.

Special Core spondence.
Phoebe. April 13-The past week has
witnessed several events, which,though
not individually of momentous import
nnce. tend to give the local situation
a roseate hue.
Owners OF the Greenwood property
have resumed operations with three
shifts. and work is being pushed rap
idly.
Fuller & Hammond. lumber dealers,
have secured lease on the property
of the late Mr.. Hymen, i'm the Half
Moon district, and have begun active
development, which is expected to dem
onstrate the values supposed to be
present in quantity.
Work has been begun on the Phoebe
Pacific, the property recently acquired
by Salt Lake interests, which adjoins
the Nevada Utah, Alice, Kentucky and
California Phoebe. The shaft. which is
down about p feet, has been timbered
and the manager. Mr. Baumgartner.
says II is the intention to install
gasoline hoist about 200 feet from this
shaft. The Nevada Utah cement
expects to install a gasoline hoist,
which is already at the freight depot
ready to be transported TO the shaft
The Developments MADE IN TINS smart
have shown about % feet of ore and
the work is to be prosecuted vigorously.
JACK RABBIT RAILWAY.
The new is ton Porter locomotive ar
rived last week and is expected to be
ready for use on the Jack Rabbit rail-
road about Tuesday This engine is
direct acting. and hence much faster
than the old one. New ore cars are
being built to care for the increased
output of the mine.
YUBA EAST STRIKE.
A strike of phenomenal ore was made
yesterday on the Boston-Pioche prop
erty known as the Yuba East, The ore
occurs i'm the form OF blanket vein
10 inches thick and 27 feet wide. This
property was known to be good and
good results anticipated from the work
now In progress, but the richness OF
this ore surpasses expectations. This
find lends more encouragement to the
opinion that many more good proper
ties will be developed m the eastern
end of the camp.
PRINCE CON. A WINNER.
A strike of high grade ore was re-
ported from the Prince mine Friday.
The new ledge is about four feet wide
and said 10 carry exceptional values
depth of 400 feet. The frequent finding
of high grade ore as depth Is attained
on this property encourages the belief
that still more and better developments
viii follow. Occurring as they do in
a large body of low grade but profit
able ore, the owners have every reason
TO feel elated over the showing made.

NO MERGER GOES.
Emphatic Statement Made by Utah
Copper Shareholder.

There will be no merger of the Utah
Copper company with the Utah Console
dated. Not at least. along the fam
buoyant wildcat lines that have been
suggested lately. You can put that
down as a certainty" declared a large
shareholder of the former today.
81 don't care what is said by the
eastern financial papers to the con-
trary, the Utah Copper company is
not ready to go in on any scheme sug
gested up to date, There Will prob
ably be more of this merger talk, but
considerably more than a majority Of
the stock of the company Is In the
hands of persons who are opposed to
a. consolidation with the Ely companies
The Utah Copper company Is plenty
big enough to stand alone and ought to
have no connection whatever with any
enterprises remote from the camp OF
Bingham
II was suggested that the Boston
Consolidated might be brought into the
fold and mention was made of the re-
port that Samuel Newhouse had been
offered $50 share to turn over a con-
troll. II don't believe that Is true"
said the Utah Copper shareholder for
the simple reason that this whole mer-
ger scheme has never reached that
point where anyone could make such
an offer. | admit that 1t is possible
that someone may have written Mr..
Newhouse to sound him on the PROPOSE
tlon; but as far as his having received
an offer, that Is highly improbable.
1t was learned today that President
MacNeill, William b. Thompson and
other directors of the Utah Copper,
viii reach the city during the latter
part of the month to make an inspec-
ton of the properties of the company
at Garfield and in Bingham. Mr..
Thompson Is one of the new members
Of the board and also being closely
identified with Nevada Consolidated
and Cumberland Ely affairs. has been
