UTAH WILL HAVE BIG
EXHIBIT OF MINERALS

For the first time i'm the history Of Utah,
real mineral exhibit, showing the vast
resources of the Beehive state, will be
shown at the Inland Empire exposition.
which will be held in Salt Lake City next
month. 1t is the intention of the mining
men of the state to show a collection of
minerals such as has never been seen here
before.
Harry S. Joseph and Jesse Cannon have
been appointed to the duty of getting up
this collection. Already they are i'm com
munication with many of the leading
camps and urging upon the mining men
the necessity of making a good showing.
Utah can have as varied a mineral cOlleC-
ton as any state I'm the union. In this
state and Colorado tho only hydrocarbons
found I'm the United States are obtained.
1t is also believed that the rare pitch
biende exists here. Tt is from this ore
that radiUm is obtained.
A gold medal viii be awarded to the best
cabinet collection to be shown at the fair.
Prizes of gold medals viii also be awarded
for the best single and double hand drill

CAN DRIVE TEAM
INTO COAL MINE
Castle Valley Coal Company Is
Getting Ready TO Build
Railroad.

Another coal company will shortly be
on the shipping list from Emery county,
according to Walter G.. Orem, who re-
turned from the property of the Castle
Valley coal company yesterday. Mr.. Orem
was al the property for several days look
ing over the work that is being done
there. He says that within a snort time
Castle Valley, which has heretofore been
little known as a coal producer in Utah,
viii be opening up some of the biggest
mines the state has ever known IL mas
been known to only few that large coal
fields existed in Emery county, but it has
only been within the past year that any
effort has been made 10 develop them
Recently the Castle Valley Coal com
pany, which is composed of Iowa and
Utah capitalists, took over 1000 acres OF
coal lands and started development work
Thus far Mr. Orem says that company
has met with splendid success. The largest
coal vein OF the property now measures
3S feet One of the most prominent fea-
lures of the property is that team ana
wagon can drive into the tunnel and
back the Ggon up to the face Of the VEN
of coal.
Ties are now being cut for the extern
sion of the Southern Utah railroad, which
will be used TO develop the property salt
Lake capitalists are now developing the
coal fields at Miller Creek. The eNten-
sion means about five or six miles OF
railroad building beyond Miller Creek, to
Cedar Creek, where the Castle Valley
mines are situated. Work will begin on
the extension as soon as the other road
is i'm shape to allow it.
The quality of coal at the Castle Valley
mine is said TO be almost anthracite. Ac-
cOrding to the expert report IL contains
% per cent of carbon and volatile COM
bustible matter. and there is only about
o per cent ash. The quality is such, the
men behind the company say, that IL viii
find a ready market.
While the railroad is being built the
company Is going ahead and developing
the coal.
This development work will be carried
on energeticalIy until the road is i'm. As
soon as the road is finished the company
declares that it win be able to put loo
tens of coal q day into the market
The coal fields may yet develop Cas-
tie valley. For years there has been
talk of the Rio Grande putting i'm the
Salina cutoff, which would run from Sa-
lima canyon through Emery, FerTOn,
OrangeviIle. Castle Dale and many other
towns along the valley. which are now
from % to g. miles from a railroad
Throughout the entire valley are enOT-
NOUS coal deposits. In FeTron canyon
mines have been worked for years and
supply the people of the city with fuel
At Emery a mine TO the southeast of
town has worked I'm q huge cavern of
coal where the teams drive in 10 load.
In the lower side of the valley. i'm the
district called the San Raphael swell. en-
Eineers declare that some day large de
posits of copper will be found. Along the
Muddy creek considerable per cent con-
per has been found, but it has never
been developed.

FINISH LOWER MAMMOTH
SHAFT BY DECEMBER

At the meeting of the directors of the
Lower Mammoth Mining company yester-
day, it was announced that the retimbeT-
ing and sinking of the shaft to the 1000
foot level viii be completed by Dec. l..
This Is good news TO the stockholders who
have been standing up under the heavy
assessments that have been necessary for
the work. With the completing of the
shaft, il is believed that it will be but a
short time after that the Lower Nam
moth Will again be a Tintic producer.
Shorely before the work was closed down
close to a year ago. the company took out
$4,000 worth of ore I'm two months. With
the new shaft this record. it is believed,
can be beaten
The station on the 1SG0-foot level has
been completed and the work can now go
on to the 1S00-fOOt level where another
station will be cut When the work is
finished the company viii have one OF the
finest shafts in the country.
In the lower levels it is known that there
is considerable ore. and with development
work the bodies are expected to broaden
ont. The cost of mining with the new
shaft will also be much less than for
merly.
At the meeting yesterday the directors
levied another assessment Of cents a
share. This will bring in S12,50O- 1t is be
Iieved that this will be the last assess
ment before the mine viii be I'm a position

FINISH ROAD FOR
REVENUE CON.
Two Shifts Now at Work on
a Tunnel at the
Property.

Development work is going ahead rap
idly at the Revenue Consolidated Mining
company, which is operating in the
Pine Grove mining district in Beaver
county according to L. G. Burton, who
returned from the district Sunday. The
company recently received the financial
backing of eastern people and ample
means have been placed in the treas
ury to carry the company through to the
producing stage.
Two wagon roads from NewhOuse to the
mine have just been completed at a cost
of 5000. The distance to the property
has been shortened by five miles and
the new route to the camp is now Is miles
Ions.
The conn ressOr plant has been started
up and the men are now driving the cross
cut tunnel to catch the ore encountered
in the shaft At present two shifts are
at work, but by the end of the week an
other shift viii be added. The compress
sOr is capable of handling 10 drills, so
that ii will have no trouble in doing some
rapid work. The tunnel which is now
in 300 feet, will connect up with the ore
body at a depth of 200 feet below the bot
tom of the shaft.
In the shaft was found a good body
of silver, lead and gold ore. Some of the
picked samples assayed as high as 500
in gold and 100 ounces of silver The
average of the ore body was about $50.
The tunnel has yet to go about 400 feet
to get under the shaft. The ground IS
said TO be hard, but is breaking well.
Each shot breaks to the bottom of the
holes. Between three and four feet a
shift is now being made and it is be
HeVed that the objective point can be
reached in the next month or six weeks.
\. J. Walter. the new member of the
board of directors. who is representing
the eastern interests, is at the property
and is taking personal charge of the
work. He has been with Mr. Burton
during his entire three weeks stay at
the property. Mr.. Walter expects to be
there for several weeks more.
The Leu property, which adiOins the
Revenue Consolidated, is making prepara-
lions to begin active work next month.
This company expects to get some of the
good values that have already been found
on the Revenue Consolidated ground.

MINERAL FLAT HAS
-FOUR FEET OF ORE
Pacific Company Expects to
Soon Connect With the
Ore Body.

A number of reports have reached Salt
Lake in the past week of a strike at the
Mineral Fiat property in American Fork
canyon. The management of the property
has neither affirmed nor denied the re-
port, but has refused to give out any IN
formation. That there is considerable ore
already blocked out in the property has
been asserted by q number OF persons
who are closely allied with the company
The most recent story of the strike ap-
pears in the American Fork Citizen. 1t Is
as follows.
That the Mineral Flat has opened a
nice vein of high-grade ore there can be
no doubt. The ore was encountered in the
middle tunnel the first of the week, and
by Wednesday had opened into a vein of
at least four feet on the tunnel level, and
1t is thought by those who saw 1t that by
raising the vein will be much wider. 1t
is a carbonate ore with considerable steel
galena mixed through it.
Superintendent George SOmmervill is
down from the Pacific, having come to
attend the wedding reception of his
daughter. At the time he left the mine
the connection with the high-g silver
ore in the main tunnel, which is expected
every shift, had not been made. This is
the vein from which a carload of ore was
shipped some time ago.
There is an unconfirmed rumOr that the
Dutchman miners have opened q new
body of ore.
1T. NJ Altman of Provo went to the can
yQn yesterday to look over the work being
done in the Silver Globe. This property is
principally owned by Provo people.
"F. q. and Charles Tying viii go TO the
