SCRANTON ZINC

Immense Ore Bodies Are Pro-
ducing Regular Weekly

EUREkA-SCRANT0N
TO BE DEVELOPED
Formation Indicates Probability
of Existence of Many
Big Mines.

Henry Jones' superintendent of the
Scranton mine, was in the city yester-
day for the purpose of making arrange
ments for supplies for the more eX-
.ensive development Of that property.
Upon his return to the mine, Mr.. Jones
states. the working force will be ma
teriallv increased and operations will
then be continued with increased ac-
tivity
la the opinion of Mr., Jones, the lead
and zine ore deposits so far de
vclopcd in the Scranton are as large as
any west of the Missouri river, the
bodies having been followed on the
strike north and south for 1000 feet,
though depth of more than 200 feet
has not been attained. Tho minerali-
cation. however, he states, is more
persistent and stronger on the south
end of the property than on the north
end, and il was in the south that the
lead ores were discovered about q
year ago on tho Essex Nc. .. the de
posits having furnished large ship
ments since that time.
Zinc Underneath.
Beneath these lead ores, Mr.. Jones
states. are found the zinc carbonates.
evidently n product lcached from the
original syIphide depositations. On The
Essex No claim was found the big
zinc stope known TO the company ON
cials as the VOLS zinc stope, which has
now attained a length of 255 feet. and
which is from ten to twenty-five feet
wide. Operations at the mine at the
present time are being carried on in
the Wolf stope, the ffty-foot level, the
Bottcral stope on the seVenty-iivc-
foot level, and from the lower tunnel
level The claims are located about
nine miles northwest Of Eureka, Tintic
district. and about four miles east of
Del Monte station on the old branch Of
the Oregon Short Line, which ran
from Fairfield 10 Eureka, through Rush
valley.
Mr.. Jones. who has studied the
formations carefully. has found that
The system of assuring. as has been
demonstrated in The Scranton proper
ties, is identical with that of q mum.
her of the wealthy mining districts Of
the west, and he is of the opinion that
some very big producers viii be de
vcloped in the section if capital can be
interested in the promotion of the prop
critics located there,
Mr.. Jones states that he and asso-
cia,es have heavy interests in what
arc known as the Eureka Scranton
mines. and that in the near future they
Will begin the active development Of
hese properties. The Eureka Scranton
claims adioin the properties of the
Scranton company on the south.
Zinc Is Profitable.
The deposits of zinciferous ores
which arc being developed TO a great
extent 10 the Scranton and other near
by properties are particularly profit
able in view of the recent improve
ments made in the method of treating
the product. and il is cousideted prob

Of the 22 states and territories con. tribu,ing 10 the total gold output, l2 showed decreases in production in 10O1. The greatest losses were shown by Alaska, s2,s75,700; South Dakota, s2,. iG6,7 zoo; Colorado, s2,03G,s00; Califor. nia, Sl,97o. 100. and Montana, Sl,0i9,. 400. In no other state or territory did the decrease reach Sl0O00O. Ten states and territories increased their production of gold in l9O7, but in only one Nevada was toe increase of great importance. The gain in this state was SG,l32. 100, a strikingly large amount, which almost counterbalanced the losses in California, Colorado and south Dakota. Idaho increased its output by s920,0O0, and Washington by sij9,3OO, but in no other state did the increase reach si00,O0O.
 The production of silver in 1907 was contributed by 2j states and tcrrito. rics, of which only nine showed de. crease as compared with the produc. ton of 1906. Tnc greatest losses were shown in Montana, l,4lO,700 fine ounces; Colorado. 9j2, 2,O00 fine ounces {; Idaho, 9i7 500 fine ounces. ana Utah, l0l, 100 fine ounces. In no other state or territory did the loss reach 10000 fine ounces In lG states and territo. ries an increase in the production of silver was reported in l9O7 as compar. ed with 1906.
