HAMILTON NEWS NOTES
All Signs Point To q General Re
newal of Mining Operations
In the Old Camp

In the mining line Hamilton has been
rather quiet up to this time. although
more is going on than last year. and there
are signs that there will be quite . re-
vival before the snow flies again. In
Shermantown, Wilson & johnson are
now running q tunnel to strike q new
ore body. They have just shipped nearly
two carloads Of ore by way Of Eureka,
Mr.. Mstson doing the hauling. Mr..
Shields has also shipped l02 sacks. The
Great Valley mine has been leased by
Sam Cocroft and he is working there
with two men. Hugh Coyle has been
shipping ore all Spring. Edward Nc
Ellin is extending his tunnel to connect
with his ore bodies, and says when he
reaches the ore he will have more than
all the freight teams can take to Eureka.
and he will keep them all busy. This 10
all in the lead belt. The Bambergers.
who own the Ne Plus Ultra mine,
have not yet been here to arrange for
the commencement Of work, but a. their
Superintendent, A. T. Shields, has opened
up q tunnel which is In ore for 80 feet,
and Mr.. Bamberger will be here this
month, great activity can be expected
from there. A mining expert named
Roger l.. Beal has been here examining
the Jennie A and the other Cutting
properties, and the chances are that
something will be done with them soon.
Hence, in the lead belt. the future looks
very bright.
In the silver belt, which has been in
active for IS years. r. A. Dean has at
last succeeded in opening up q chamber
of high grade ore IN his property, known
as the Defiance mines. The discovery
was made last Fall. but no effort was
made to open up the body Of ore until .
week ago. A tunnel has now been opened
the whole face Of which is in ore and in
four days Mr.. Dean with the aid Of one
man took out more than Ave tons Of ore,
and the ore is improving. An assay
made of this ore by Officer & Co. Of Salt
Lake gives 1913 8 OF. silver and $50 per
cent copper. and the value per ton s124.30.
This mine is on the old Silver Plate lead.
OF course, there is no saying how large
or how small the chamber will be-.
Julius Minoletti, who last year took up
a claim next to the Boston>in Virginia
Canyon on Treasure Hill. has also found
some very high grade silver rock. At
the time of locating he acted upon the
advice of Messrs. LAM and Dean and
commenced the running Of q tunnel to
strike the ore at a lower level. While he
has not yet made any connections. he
may now strike the ore body any day.
So you see that the work in the silver
belt is alio very encouraging.
Last week Mrs. Peter Schaefer and
children were here visiting her parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Matson.
Miss Mary DeFlon Of Eureka and Miss
Annie Flavin of Ruby Hill are also visit
ing here.
Gust. Simon will move his family to
Ely in the near future SO as to give his
boys the advantages OF the high school
there.
Alex. Muir and son are working at an
ore concentration, and if they are success
full will concentrate some Of their Treas-
ure Hill ore.
Charley Minoletti, who has been in
Europe for the past year, writes that he
will soon return to his home at Hamil-
ton. r. A. DEAN.
