MORE GOOD NEWS FROM
DEEP CREEK REGION

Brig H Young. who came in from the
Deep Creek country earlier in the week.
stated yesterday that the Silver King
group belonging to the Young brotners,
was just at that stage of development
where there was little to say. The No. 3
tunnel which is being driven in on the
vein with the purpose of gaining depth
of 800 feet in the known ore shoots, Is
now in a distance of IT'S feet and some ore
is already making in the ledge filling.
1t will require seventy-five to 100 feet
more to reach the ore bodies developed IN
the upper workings, where the carbon
ates carry from 81 to 200 ounces silver,
IS per cent lead. an average of S3.15 in
gold per ton. with a fine percentage OF
iron Sulphides are beginning to show In
the lower tunnel. and Mr.. Young Is ex-
pecting something good when the first OF
the ore bodies In the eight TO tweiVe-1oot
ledge are encountered.
Mr.. Young reports that the Boston
Utah company's property, under the man
agement of William NJ Lamb, Is develop
ing a mile east of Gold Hill and getting
good results in lead, silver and copper.
The Woodman Mining company Is devel-
oping the Kane Springs groop and the Al
varado.. On the latter two shifts are
Working and he understands that prepa-
ra lions are making to sink again from the
aOo-foot level in the tunnel.
teV phone line is now building into
the district and by this time, Mr. Young
saws. IL is undoubtedly possible TO talk
from .CHttOn 10 Salt I-dhe. Inc inc pa
allels the Western Pacific road and a
branch goes south into the Deep Creek re-
zion. The line will build through to Ely
and eventually cover all the country south
to Phoebe. .
Everybody in the Deep Creek at all
posted is now convinced that the Western
Utah company intends to build smelt-
er. and the belief is that material for IT
will soon begin to show up In the dis
trict. With a smelter out there, Mr.
Young says, the country is sure to boom.
He will return to camp in few days.

OPERATIONS AT THE
SWANSEA CONSOLIDATED

The big electric pump which was re-
Gently installed near the station on the
200 level of the Swansea Consolidated mine
Is working without hitch, says the Eure-
ka Reporter The electric sinking pump
Is not yet In successful operation and the
old "sinker" of the Swansea company has
been placed in the shaft for temporary
use or until the other electric pump is
ready for business. The sinking pump
lifts the water and deposits it into two
large tanks upon the 200 level and the sta
tionary pump lifts it to the surface. AL
ready the water in the Swansea has been
new electric sinking pump is in opera
ton but very few weeks will be re-
quired to unwater the mine. The Swan
sea workings are down to a depth of $50
feet and when the pumps were started up
few weeks ago the water filled the
mine up within twenty feet of the sta
ton on the 700 level.
The big electric pump which is now run
ming on the 100 level OF the Swansea is
certainly a wonderful piece of machinery.
1t is operated by a 1J0-horsepower mo-
tor and is large enough to handle a great
deal more water than is now flowing into
the workings of this mine. The sinking
pump fills the two tanks in an hour and
a quarter and the stationary pump, hav-
ing much larger capacity, lifts the same
amount of water to the surface in about
fifteen minutes.
Superintendent William Matthews of the
Swansea is now running three drifts upon
the 700 level. One OF these drifts is head
ed toNyard the north. the other is going
into new country to the south of the shaft
and the third is being run toward the
west All the work that has been done in
the Swansea mine In years past. or a
big percentage of IL, has been along the
line of the ore north and SOUTH, and
Mr.. Matthews is anxious to push out into
new territory to the west of the shaft
The drift which is now being run in this
direction is cutting into some mineralized
rock and il would not be at all surpris-
ing IL some ore Is developed in this vir-
gin ground.
The ore above the water level In the
Swansea has been pretty well gouged out
by leasers within the past few years. but
Notwithstanding this. Superintendent Mat
thews now has a few men at work on good
ore. These deposits. while not sensation
al. may lead to something much better
within a very short time. or course. the
company is anxious to drain the mine and
reopen the lower levels. where consider
able ore was exposed at the time work
was suspended several years ago.
The Swansea properties have produced
some marvelously rich ore In years passed
one big stope reaching from the 400 level
to the surface, and now that they have
been consolidated and are being devel-
oped systematically there Is every reason
to believe that the Swansea Consolidat-
ed will become one of the biggest mines
in Tintic.

The members of the syndicate known as
the Salt Lake Western Development COM
pany, owners of what is known as the
Santa Rita group of claims in the north
ern portion of the Seven Troughs district.
are feeling good over the latest word
from Superintendent Theodore Parks.
The letter states that, after driving the
tunnel on the Yellow Metal claim for
distance of lis feet. he cut the ledge and
found it to be a foot wide at the point
of entry, with the rock all panning lit
tie gold He explains that the vein was
tapped about fifty feet south of the ore
values were not expected before the
known ore shoot was reached, the SUPER
intendent feels that he already has a bet
ter showing than might have been eX-
pected. After sending the tunnel in fif-
teen feet farther. to be sure that nothing
Is ahead, 1t is the intention of Superin-
tendent Parks to begin drifting in the
vein for the ore shoot. He closes the
letter to Secretary Howard S. Stowe by
saying:
1T have been so busy that ! have not
had time to make formal report. but
will make one soon- In the meantime you
can just bet that things are o. X"

FINE LEAD ORES
IN WEST TINTIC
Iintic Silver Crown Calls on
Expert to Pass Judg-
ment on Its Property.

NJ L. Snow. secretary and treasurer of
the Tintic Silver Crown Mining company,
and f.. p. Jennings, the well known min
ing engineer, returned from a several
days trip to the properties of the COM
pany Friday. Mr.. Jennings went out to
make an examination of the empire of
ground owned by the company and his
report will be forthcoming in due time.
Our properties are located" explained
Secretary Snow yesterday, about sixteen
miles due west of Eureka, in the Tintic
district, in what will be known as the
Blue Bell mining district. West Tintic-
From the mines to the station of Dun
bar. on the San Pedro road, the distance
is only ten miles, and with the exception
of about a mile, where there Is little
pull. the road from camp to the station
is all down hill and teams can handle
heavy loads without difficulty. The
ground which the company has acquired
embraces two or three groups of claims
and locations that We have made between
to connect them up We cover great
quartzite dyke that crops out through the
country for four or five miles between
the old Int national mine on the east and
north and northwest. The three properties
mentioned have all been fine producers in
years gone by and the Sharp property Is
working now and producing lots or fine
lead ore. We have nice stream or wa
ter in Bennion canyon and good springs on
other portions of our holdings, so we all
are well off in that respect. / have not
the remotest idea what kind of report
MIR. Jennings is going to make on the
ground. but we determined to have re-
port and the advice of a competent and
reliable engineer before proceeding to
spend money and that is why we engaged
Mr.. Jennings for the work"
Numerous samples of line-looking lead
ore are on exhibition at the company S
offices in the Auerbach block and the
assays accompanying them indicate that
some of the claims. at least, have the ear
marks OF making mines. Samples of the
outcrop of the ledge in the company s
Silver Star No. claim, near the Inter-
national, assays 80 per cent lead and
small values in silver. The same ledge in
the Silver Star No. ] also makes fine
showing while about 1900 feet westerly In
the Silver Colorado No. 5 claim. an eigh-
teen-inch fissure has been stripped for
200 feet and discloses lead-silver ore worth
over $3l per ton. Two men are to be put
TO work at this point at once.
1t would require too much space to emu
merate all the points at which splendid
surface indications exist in the property.
The same character of ore is found all
along the belt and samples from the old
mines over there make it certain that val
ues are uniform for miles and that devel-
opment i'm the Tintic Silver Crown prop
critics simply cannot be barren of results.
Most of the ore is a heavy galena- though
fine samples of carbOnates are also shown
as coming from some of the claims. The
development of this property ought to at
tract a great deal of attention to west
Tintic.

WORK RESUMED AT BIG
COTTONWOOD PROPERTY

The Big Cottonwood Gold & Copper
Mining company, with great block Of
ground wedging into the Mountain Lake
possessions. resumed operations IN its
lower tunnel during the past week. Presi-
dent Nicholas Treweek making visit to
the property to get things started. He
says that the tunnel win now be pushed
through to the contact, and. as there is
alreadv fine showing of copper sulphides
In evidence. he looks for substantial re-
suits to follow the work IN hand.
There is a tremendous showing Of con-
ner ore in the upper tunnel and other
workings. and while the mass Is not
counted as high grade. II II was located
in Bingham II would be called shirninr

past three seasons was bought on a
purely speculative basis Under such
conditions all sorts of bnsiness-li Ike
methods became prevalent. This nat
urally caused growers to become care
less with the result that an increased
percentage of understandable wool
has developed from year TO year.
The excessive use of Irvine has al
ways worked to the disadvantage of
our domestic woods with manufacture
ers. and now that rope is largely
used instead of twine the time has
come when remedy must be found.
II is likely that store-keepers have
laid in their seasons supply, so that
ii is now too late to introduce gen.
orally the proper kind of Irvine for
this clip. but the evil can be overcome
somewhat if growers are requested TO
use no more than ,wo strings each
way, two across and one around the
end of the fleece are quite sufficient.
and are made 10 understand that they
are standing in their own light by

But matter of even greater import
ance has to be dealt with and that is
the vicious use of sisal or binder Irvine
which has wrought so much damage 10
wooden and worsted goods This evil
should be very easily eradicated. for
the grower gains nothing in using it
instead of regular wool Irvine. so that
all that appears necessary is TO see
that he is enlightened as to its damag-
ing effect, and 1T is hoped that you
will lend your best efforts to stop its
pernicious use. For your protection
we will say that manufacturers are IT,
acaord that they will not accept any
fleeces the coming season tied with
sisal Irvine, and this in turn makes il
necessary for the seaboard merchants
to take the same stand
