superintendent J. ". Dundas is
sinking two shafts on the property OF
the Ohana Mining company. The
greatest depth so far attained IS sew
enty feet. but the extensive system Of
veins OutcrOpping on the surface has
been proven by about twenty-five pros
poet shafts. ranging IN depth from
twelve 20 forty feet. There are three
big parallel veins running a distance
or g. 900 feet through the Ohana
efCuud. Some unusually rich silver
ores have been found near the surface.
This ore shows values Of from $50 up
10 as high as 81 500. There has been
opened up near the surface an i'm
mense amount OF milling ore worth
about $25 TO the ton. 1t shows across
wide veins. narrow streaks Of which
run from $50 TO 500. In most Of this
ore gold predOminates
Great Vein System.
The veins widen as they go down,
one. which was three feet on the sur
face. at a depth Of sixty feet had
widened out 10 ten feet Of good ore.
Some OF these ASSURES have been traced
FOR twenty miles across the country
with ore showing in practically every
place where depth has been attained
ON the veins
The Ohana domain embraces twenty
mining claims. and the WOOdman
ranch OF 100 acres with invaluable
wafer rights. the latter having recent
~ been acquired from the original
owner, together with his group of six
claims. The water supply is of suf-
ficient volume TO be sent through a
700O-fOot pipe line. where il will be
used TO supply power for the proposed
new stamp mill. The company re-
Gently decided the property would jus
tify il and. accordingly. has ordered
the mill machinery sent forward at
once. Ii viii be OF thirty-tOn capacity.
Considerable of it viii be purchased in
salt Lake and sent out next Monday.
The Ohana having a mill run by its
own water power, will possess a de-
cided advantage over most other mills
in the district

Another contemplated Improvement
FOR the Ohana is a steam hoist 10 ia

down as far as practicable. when
steam power well be employed. The
intention is 10 cut a station every fifty
or 100 i6et I'm the shafts, sending out
drifts from these points into the ore
Neins, which stand almost perpendicu-
lar. Ii is estimated that great
amount of ore viii be produced from
even near the surface of the Ohana.
other Properties.
Mr. Burritt reports that j. II Mar
riutt is working about half a dozen
men on the old Fort Wayne group at
Osceola. He is running a tunnel into
the side of a steep mountain. where he
has cut some valuable ore bodies. This
is one Of the most promising pros
poets in the district.
+. l.. Fletcher of Hubernite is maxi
ing extensive developments. besides
constructing a large concentrating
plant He has installed compressor
and Burnley drills and has modern ap-
paratus all around. There is water
power on this property for the plant
which is well along toward completion
IL Is being constructed with the main
object of reducing the valuable tung-
stem ores which have developed in this
district
Lively District.
Other properties are ready 10 begin
work, and several are about 10 take
cut ore. This Is. i'm fact, one of the
liveliest mining camps i'm the state. "
