INDIAN SPRINGS AT Ida
PREPARES FOR 25-H0RSE
POWER STEAM PLANT

GOLDFIELD, March THE ore
shoot on the Indian Springs copper
property at Ida is getting larger with
each foot of sinking. AT present there
lis no drifting being done, but the val
ues in the shaft have maintained a
uniform value and have so encouraged
the persons interested that they have
a complete 25 horse power steam plant
en- route from Los Angeles, which will
he installed upon arrival. According
to Manager James A. Long, who is IN
this city arranging for the transporta-
ton of the machinery, the vein is now
between seven and eight feet wide,
and the ore which comes in copper
sulphides, runs ~ per cent copper
across the face of the vein. The for.
nation is a porphyry hanging wall ana
a lime footwall. The Indian Springs
Copper company is being backed by
Spokane persons and they have en-
gagged X. NJ Reeves. Montana copper

discovered an outcropping carrying a
seam of copper which ran 60 per cent
of the red metal.
The copper of the Ida country is
claimed by many to be the best grade

the desired depth is attained a drift
cut will be run to this intersection.
At the Boston Phoebe, which is now
included in the holdings of the Scott
Mines company, the shaft is over 800
feet deep. and will be pushed to the
1000-foot level, when drifts will be run
to tap the ore body.
This is another important mine, well
equipped and well financed.
At the Black Wonder, al a depth of

taken out. The Black Wonder is new

as soon as little more depth is gained
it will make a noise.

The Colfax, adjoining the Black Won
der, is making a magnificent record.
Ore mining 300 ounces in silver is easily
picked from almost any point along the
manganese groupings. In early days
$1,000 float was found in considerable
quantity on this hill, and while the
management is very conservative, it is
believed that the tunnel now being
run will tap one of the richest bodies
of ore in the entire district.

Reports from Silver Lake, San Ber-
nardino county, are that there is a no
ticeable increase in mining develop
ment in the adjacent territory, work
having been resumed on several prop
critics inactive since the financial de-
preston eighteen months ago.
Considerable outside capital is COM
ing into the Crackerjack district, OF
which territory Silver Lake is the rail-
road point A significant instance OF
outsiders investing is afforded by the
Blue Bucket property, which has peen
taken over by operators from Goldneld
The exploitation of this property on
an important scale will be started al
once, a carload of mining machinery
and equipment intended for it having
already been landed at Silver Lake
Other investments by Goldfield oper-
ators are pending and the prospects
are bright for the expenditure OF a
large amount of Goldfeld capital in
this district, an area which those VINO
know it best say only needs develop
ment to become one OF the greatest
producers of both precious ana base
metals in the world.
The incline shaft being put down on
the Crackerjack Bonanza mine is well
under way, a depth of $50 feet having
been attained. This shaft is to be
sunk to a depth of 700 feet, thus get
ting well into the sulphide level, and
with its collateral workings is expect
ed to make the property bonanza

phide ore bodies that everybody with
expert knowledge of the mine agrees
will be encountered. Already ore es-
timated to go about 500 ton in GOLD
has been struck in this working, hno
rather unexpected at the point, but
vet not surprising, for good strikes
have been so frequent in this property
that thew are becoming commonplace
The work is being pushed with energy

Boom District

The first shipment of ore from the
Whipple mountain district, San Ber-
nardino county, will be made this week
by the D. and w. Mining company.
This property is located seventeen miles
from Parker. Ariz., on the California
side of the Colorado river, five miles
from the projected cutoff of the Cali
fornia & ARIZONA railroad, which is now
in course of construction and which
will connect with the main line of tile
Santa Fe at Bengal. The ore will go to
the Ell Paso smelter, which offered the
company a special rate of $3.50 ton
for treatment, because of its splendid
fiuxing quality as shown by the sample
treatment made by the smelter last
August, Ore assays show values from
5 to 40 per cent in copper and from
$40 to $3.50 in gold.
The D. and w. company began opera
lions about two years ago ana is the
most highly developed property in the
Whippie mountain district. A perpen-
dicular shaft is now down 315 feet, with
a crosscut to the east of 200 feet and a
crosscut to the west of ninety-five feet.
The ledge as uncovered is over sixty
feet wide The company has just COM
pleted the installation OF an air COM
pressor and a 42-horse power engine.
With this equipment the shaft VIII Dc
sunk a farther distance of 300 feet,

work is being pushed rapidly, with a
view to making shipments without de-
Law as soon as the railroad cuton is

SEVEN MEN PUSH WORK
ON ELUSIVE BOOTH CLAIM

GOLDFIELD, March 7.--Ore in ship
ping quantities seems to be somewhat
elusive on the Booth, but a force of
seven men is pegging along in an at
tempt to connect with "a good bunch of
the much-sought article. Drifting is in
progress on the 400 level, and the vein
looks good enough to turn into ore at
almost any time.
There is no question but that the
great Red Top vein goes through the
Booth ground, and logically ought TO
make this one of the good producers of
the district, but the famous Columbia
mountain fault is i'm close proximity
to the Booth workings, and it seems to
have had an adverse influence on ore
enrichment at this particular point, so
far as has yet been demonstrated by
the extensive development. Some day,
however, the Booth may come into its
own" with surprising persistency and
values.

DEAL CLOSES
Dividend Group Experiences Vigorous
Development Under New Control.
Bins Hold One Hundred Tons
of High Grade

PRESCOTT, March Final pay
ment on the purchase price of the Divi-
dend group of mines has been made by
the Mount Elliott Consolidated Mines
company to the Dividend Consolidated
Gold Mining company and the title OF
the property has passed into the pur-
chasing company The deal for the
transfer of the Dividend group was
closed April To- 1906. The purchase
price was 100000 payable in Install
ments. The property, which comprises
eleven patented claims, is now known
as the Mount Elliott group.
F. E. Biles, general manager, and l.
D. l.. Williams, director of the Mount
Elliott Consolidated Mines company
who arrived here last week from the
company's camp in the Chaparral sec
ton, confirmed the report that hnal
payment of the purchase price had
been made recently and the passing OF
the title to their company. They ad-
nit that a larger plan of development
of the mines is under way and the en-
larging of the mill capacity later this
year under consideration. A new all
compressor plant will also be installed
and other surface improvements made
Snow Blocks Progress
General Manager Biles said that he
was compelled to shut down the ten
stamp mill temporarily on account OF
the failure of delivery of fuel oil at the
camp regularly since the last snow
storm He expects to resume opera
tions in the mill at the en-. of the pres
ent week when large oil storage will
insure "a fuel supply for a considerable
time. He has over 100 tons of high
grade milling ore stored in the mill
bins.
Sinking is in progress in the main
shaft of the Dividend mine. 1t is now
down 400 feet. Sinking will be resumed
in a short time. in the Galena mine
shaft. The Dividend and Galena mines
are among the oldest locations in the
Big Bug district. Both have good rec
ords as gold producers, although not
opened to any considerable depths. the
deepest opening being the main shaft
of the Dividend.
The property is located Immediately
north of and adjoining the Lelan group
of mines and west of and adjacent to
the Jessie mine. which has "a record OF
gold production of over $1,000,000.

COPPER PRODUCERS DO
BUSINESS WITHOUT PROFIT

Copper production is being well sold
at the low prevailing prices, but with
little profit to the producers. Further
cuts would not stimulate consumption
inasmuch as the output is being
pretty well absorbed, and there are no
great buying orders, as with the rail-
roads, waiting for a cut. Copper pro-
ducers are doing business without
profit, or without much profit, and
must wait until the general business
of the country stimulates copper con-
sumption to a much larger extent.
From the high of 190S-9 the price of
copper has fallen from 14% cents to
1924 cents. with surpluses still accumu-
lating. Copper stocks have cores
pondingly fallen. and thirty-four of
these listed in Boston and New York
