The line is divided into three sections.
Section /. which is 1900 feet In length,
extends from the loading station ter
mlnal to the summit OF the mountain,
which has an elevation of HOO feet
above the loading station. Section >.
which is 1850 feet long, extends from
the mountain summit to an interlnedl-
ate station 900 feet below. Section J,
covering the balance of the distance
Is l2.74O feet long and has fall or
l,2l9 feet.
Along the line there are six tension
stations, where the cables are parted
and either weighted or anchored as
the case may be; one of these being
double tension, Gables of both section1
are Weighted; another Is u double an
Choir station, Gables of both stations
are anchored), and there are four COM
bined tension and anchor stations.
There arc .22 carriers in ALL (2l0 on
the line and IL in the statlons), with
S-cubic foot steel buckets and patent
automatic overhung grips, these car.
riers are moved a the speed of 600 feet
a minute.
HIGH TOWERS.
There are So towers in the line, vary
ing in height from 10 to 30 feet. The
proXimately l,l50 pounds.
It required about II months work
to put the line In. On account OF the
heavy SHOWS last winter the cost OF
the line was materially added to. and
there was somewhat of delay In get
ting the line through In many places
II was necessary to haul the material
on burros. a wagon rond was put i'll
to the summit of the mountain but on
the Tooele sido the country was moro
rugged At one time 1t was necessary
to dig tunnel % feet through largo
snow drift Mt tho head of Sap Sulch
to carry tho construction material to
the summit. which has an elevation of
$500 feet
Some idea of the size of the under
taking may be CLEANED from tho fact
that 10 carloads of lumber and II car
loads of machinery were used in the
construction work.
ISSUES REPORT
In a report recently issued by Presl-
dent Urban H. Brouglton to the stock
holders he says relative to tho reports
OF former General Manager j. b.
Risque, j. w. Finch of Denver. r. H..
Charming. Jr.. consulting engineer, and
c. c. Burger:
"Reports OF Messrs. Claiming.
Risaue, Burger and Finch have been
placed on file. From these and from
additional investigation, we believe
the following Is an accurate state
ment regarding the present position
of your property: Ore In sight. aver
aging 2.32 per cent copper. so ounce
gold. O.S5 ounce silver. 900. 900 tons. From
the large tonnage of ore shown by mine
maps and records to exist. but which Is
inaccessible for inspection on account
of caves and fills OF waste, there may
be recovered from 900 to go, 900 tons.
Other ore in the mine Is OF too low
grade for profitable extraction Mt the
present price of copper.
1.-THE output OF profitable ore Is linn
tied ut present TO about $50 tons per
day. That this Is the proper limit Is
proved by the fact that to maintain IL
larger output from Jan. ] to Sept, /.
1910, n considerable percentage of un-
! profitable ore was shipped to the
smeltcr.
MUCH DEVELOPMENT.
development work Is being pushed
at all points, as your directors believe
this feature of more importance at
present than the extraction of ore. and
also because the output can be in
creased from time to time, as more
i working faces are exposed.
"'ro regain the position your company
held during the years 1903 to 1907, 1t
will be necessary to develop ore of II
| higher grade than that mined during
| the last two years Roth Mr.. Charming
| and Mr.. Burger believe that higher
grade ore will be found in the uncx-
| plored territory.
at the present date the develop
| ments upon the lowest level OF your
mine are promising, there being $40
! feet Of drifts and raises in orc aver
aging 80 per cent copper In the opin-
! ion OF your directors n strict classilica-
| ton of ore in sight has but little bear
| ing upon the probable future tonnage
