A. F. STEVENS BACK
FROM THE PROPERTY
Well known Idaho Engineer
Pleased With Showing in
Ready Pay Group.

A. F.. Stevens. ono of the best known
mining men OF Idaho, Is a guest ut the
KENYON. Mr.. Stevens is from Silver
City, being pioneer of that rich Sec
tion of Idaho, his activities dating
there twenty years or more ago. He is
general manager Of the Rich Gulch
Mining company, and his visit 10 salt
Lake AZ tins time was Tor the dnupie
purpose of securing equipment Tor MS
company and making an inspection oil
some Beaver county mining properties
for eastern capital.
Down IN the Newhouse section OF
Beaver county is property owned bV
the Nevada Ready Pay Mining com
pany, at the head OF which IS I. ;. End
ers OF E!khart, Ind This property,
same mineral belt as the noted old
Horn Silver and King David, and con
sists of ten claims on which surface
exploration has been going on for some
time past. Mr.. Stevens is very much
impressed with the property. and un-
hesitatingly places the seal OF his ,ap-
pyoyal on the programme of develop
ment which will commence il the spring
months. During the winter the owners
will do more work OF exploring the
vein system preparatory 10 deeper WORK
next year.
On the Ready Pay are several veins,
two of which especially struck Mr..
Stevens rs worthy of close attention
One is five feet in width, and averages
from his samrlng $50 per ton In lead
and silver. The other vein averages
three and n half feet in width, ana
samplirg brings its average values 10
$50 per ton in these two metals. The
group is located about one mile from
the Newhouse mine, and on the appll-
nE cNrf - efr6 ~ nH
Ready Pay will. IN the estimation OF
Mr.. Stevens, make a good mine.
At Silver City the three mountains,
War Eagle. Florida and De Lamar,
have in their history produced some.
thing like $5G,000000 gross worth of
precious metals The Rich Gulch group
is located almost adjoining the famous
ord of from S14000.000 TO S15.000000
worth OF ores produced. Near by is the
De Lamar, with its output record Of
over Sl2,000000, That the possibilities
OF Silver City are rot vet touched is
illustrated. IN spite of this large pro
ductiop, by the present-dav achieve
ments of the mines there. During last
July, for instance. the De Lamar pro
duced $4,000 worth of precious metals.
And another good proof that the old
camp is going To last for manv years
vet is The sort of results that the Rich
Gulch proposition has been winding up
for some time past.
Mr. Stevens states that so far he has
done little else than prospect the prop
ertv. or rort'on of It. Bv DOING al

has gained vertical derth on the re-
sources of $50 feet On the main vein,
