II is evident from the report wired Gen

and mill When Mr. Jackling was al

section was treating 500 tons OF ore daily

and saving of very gratifying proper
tons is being accomplished
The company Is shipping forty tons of
concentrates to the FL Paso smeters q
day, the average copper content OF which
is 30 per cent. At this rate the Ray,
therefore. is producing copper at very
near the rate OF 100000 pounds am

A mill expert Of Utah soon Will pro-

Barker Mines company for the purpose
of Installing concentrating plant with
a daily capacity OF thirty TO forty tons.
This mill will be in the nature OF an
experimental plant and results from Its
operations will pave the way for a much
larger mill eventually. and at the same
time it Will handle great deal OF low
grade material as extracted which other
wise would be consigned TO the dumps
until some future date OF treatment
This fact recalls 10 mind that the
Barker property is another of the sue
cesses which the Gunn- Thompson inter
ests quietly but effectively have brought

The Barker during the past winter
months has been shipping TO the East

fact was confirmed on Monday by
George Il. Gum. who pronounces the
Barker demonstrated proposition,
company yesterday that one Of tho
known ore bodies. the west shoot. had
been encountered on the lI5-foot level,
the ore making its appearance 300 feet
west OF the shaft. 1t. is expected that
this ore body Will be at least $50 feet

upper level. while the management has
reasonable ground for expecting as usual
better results with depth.
The ore has to be transported four
teen miles by wagon under existing CON
ditIons, and shipments have been halted
for the time being owing to the condi-
ton OF tho roads. When these improve
sufficiently the management will resume
the marketing OF its development prod
uct. Some more satisfactory means OF
transportation will doubtless be pro-
vided shortly now that the mine has
assumed such attractive proportions.

tions OF the hostile farming interests oil
that part OF California. He has been the
cushion between the contending parties,
and deserves a little smooth sailing for
81 time. The following comment upon
the Balaklala affairs will be of interest
to the nany Salt Lake stockholders:
Plant Operating.
The smelter OF the First National Cop
per company is now operating one
blast. a reVerbcratory and three roasters
and treating about 500 tons of Baiaklala
ore daily. In addition 10 this. a small
quantity Of custom siliclous gold ore Tor
fuxing is smelted with the company g
copper ores. The ore from the Ba!aklala
copper mine is averaging 2.65 per cent
copper. which. allowing for losses In
smelling. would indicate a production of
between 700. 900 to 735. 900 pounds per
month,
With the furnaces now in commission,
First National is operating little more
than half capacity When the company
was running normal II was treating 500
tons OF ore daily. but at that time one
furnace was held In reserve. so that this
tonnage did not represent the maximum
output Despite the company operating
at reduced capacity. much better metal
lurgical results are being obtained than
formerly, and more ore is being treated
per furnace. The cost OF production un-
der existing conditions is a fraction over
il cents pound
AT the mine prospecting has been car.
ried on by means of diamond drills. OF
which there are two now operating. and
some new ore averaging In the neiShDor-
hood OF 2.s or 81 per cent has been en-
countered In that section Of the property
lying south and east OF the We'll tunnel.
Work. however. has not proceeded suf1-
cientiy TO determine the extent OF the
deposit IL is stated that the faces al
the mine are now looking better than at
any previous time
The fume trouble at the smelter is not
yet settled. but IL is understood that the
smoke plant is accomplishing In large
measure the requirements OF the court
decree. The First National company is
doing everything that II possibly can do
10 comply with the demands of the farm
ers and IL ls hoped that an early settle
ment will be made.
