In the Beaver Lake district. the
Utah-United Copper company has been
steadily ut work sinking the shaft and
drifting on the different levels. Some
splendid copper has heccn developed
along the contact of the granite and the
lime but shows considerable teaching.
The deeper drift has shown more per-
mancnt ores and the company IS still
going down beyond this zone. An
excellent hoist was purchased and the
property fully equipped. \. j. AfcMul-

THE FRISCO DISTRICT.
Tile San Francisco district has been
less active than almost any other sec
ton OF the county. This year has seen
the closing of the Indian Queen which
has come 40 a result Of the i,00O-foot
tunnel not cncountering pay ore. on the
other hand the Backbird, with churn
drill is prospecting the line granite con-
| tact for lead and copper ores. The new
| mill of the South Utah which Is u
| successor Of the Newhousc, has been
started and although no definite re-
| suits have been made public in regard
| to its efficiency. it is understood that
| good saving is being made. The low
| grade copper ores have been developed
| to the 900-foot level and in large guam
| titles. The Hendrickson property Is
| receiving considerable attention.
| South of the Cactus mino of the
| South Utah is the Imperial. This Is
| one of the properties of the Nevada
| Utah and plans have been made for its
| development. This is expected to open
| up the l00-foot body of per cent
| copper ore to such an extent that it
can be ranked With the BIZ, mines of
| that locality.
The Michigan, under Salt Lake super
vision, is improving with depth, with
| values that are steady in widening
fssure. ~ property little heard of in
the past but which is showing good
| lcad-silvcr products IS the Peacock,
which Hes west of the King David. An
| immense fissure cuts through its terri
tory and according to the manager the
values increase with depth and are per-
| manent This has been examined by
the United States Mining company
| with n view of taking n bond and lease.
| CLOSE KING DAVID.
The King David has been closed the
| Horn Silver is erecting concentrating
| plant for the zinc ore that is so album
| dant in that property and III addition
| it Is said that the mine is responding
| well with development. Under new
| management. the Beaver Carbonate has
| disclosed additional ore reserve at
| depth, which arc more than gratifying
| to the management The Frisco Contact
| has been consolidated with other prop
| critics to form the Frisco Consolidated,
! and work is still being pushed on the
trachyte contact for the Horn silver
| ores.
Some work has been done on the
Bradhraw and on the Hcca, with the
idea that development will show the
continuity of the copper ores.
Across Wah Wah valley to the SOUTH
| west of Ncwhouse. the Revenue Con
| solidated is blocking out ore enough SO
that q mill is under consideration To
care for the lower grade ores. While
| those OF better value are being sacked
for shipment. Eastern capita! has taken
hold Of this proposition and II tunnel to

way This property has n large acreage
with thousands OF feet Of virgin timber

supply and strong assures Considera-
BILE ore has been developed and i'll each
