company, while confidently expected
by the management, has greatly
strengthened the belief of both the
public and officials that the Lake is
to be a really big mine. OF course
much will depend upon Improvements
at the lower levels but with the con-
tinuance of the high grade ore as
shown at depth of $50 feet there is
little apprehension that the lode will
not prove consistent at the lowest
that can be reached within the prop
erty The shaft has been sunk at the
southeastern corner Of the property
and runs I'm a northwesterly direction
at a slope of 40 degrees, while the
lode as far as can be determined dips
at 40 degrees. on account of the fluc-
tuating dip of the lode it is impossi-
BILE to say just what the average length
of the crosscut will be. The vein av-
erages about so feet i'm width, about
60 of which is well mineralzed and
the lode extends across the property
about $500 feet. The company has
over 100000 in the treasury and 49,
900 shares Of stock still unissued,
which together with the rock pile and
whatever copper it is desired to take
out will easily finance the future de-
velopments.

Fish for Great Salt Lake.

ofhcials of the state fish and game
department, as well as those of the
government and of the Union Pacific
rallroad, are Interested in a plan by
means of which 1t is proposed to shut
or the north portion of the Great Salt
lake, known as Bear River bay, and
provide bodies of water where it will
be possible to plant fresh water and
salt water fish.
1t is proposed to accomplish the
proposed end by means of dikes. built
near the Lucien cutoff. The portion
or the lake north of the cutoff, which
would be separated from the main
pody of water, and which would have
the fresh waters of the Bear river
flowing into it, would have an extern.
OF between twenty-five and forty
square miles, m would provide per-
haps the greatest place for ducks and
for various species of fish to be found
in the country.
FRED w. Chambers, state fish and
game commissioner, said Saturday
that those connected with the depart-
ment already had looked over the
ground, and hat 1t is hoped to have
the plan carried out, 1t is said that
the government undoubtedly will
stock the lake if the work of building
the bikes is carried out by the rail-
road company and the state. and on
account of the benefit which wouI
accrue to the railroad, through the
carrying out OF this plan, it is thong It

amount the railroad
would furnish the rest of the funds
required, although Commissioner
Chambers said yesterday that no
proposition has been advanced yet as
the portion OF the burden to be
borne by the state.
1t is not known yet how many bikes
would be needed TO hold back h
main body OF water, but it is thought
nat not more than three would have
be constructed. at the most. The
nan would be to have the dixie so
'uilt and screened that the fish from
body or water to the north could
lot get through the screens into h
AIT water beyond h bikes, while at
same time the water could be re-
'lenished from the larger and salter
'ody as needed.
