BULL VALLEY GOLD
VALUES RUN HIGH
Engineer Knowlton Believes
That the Ores Will Go
to Depth.

Engineer A.. D. Knowlton, who has been
making an inspection visit TO the prop
erty Of the Bull Valley Gold Mines com
pany, making q survey OF the eighteen
claims while there. has returned much
Impressed with the ehowings and posi-
blities OF this Salt Lake~owned gold
proposition OF the southern part Of the
state. Crossing the property. he stated
on Saturday. Is a great lime belt that
extends through the country for at least
fifteen miles. this being bounded on the
north by andesIte and by sandstone on
the south
The lime and quartzite contacts and
the lime Itself are cut by two porphyry
approximately 200 feet, and the gold is
found to some extent in this porphyry.
The main values, however, are found
on the lime and porphyry and the lime
and Quartzite contacts. the principal work
so far having been done in q quartz vein
some twepty feet In width. which, In
many places. is highly metanorphossd TO
true quartzite,
Mr.. Knowlton took fourteen samples
from the property, the average assay
value of which was $3.50, the values
running from s1.20 gold on the porphyry
ore to Sl73 gold per ton from SIX inches
OF vein matter on the contact.
The extensive naturalization Of the
property. and the strength and persistency
OF the porphyry lead MT. Knowlton to
the assertion that there can be no ques-
ton OF the values extending to depth.

DRAGON CON. STILL
MINING GOOD ORES

The market weakness In the Dragon
Consolidated stock locally has been the
subject OF considerable Inquiry. and some
unessiness has been expressed rega riding

that the property is looking good and
that shipments arc being mainta ined
steadily.
This property is being opened via the
10. level OF The Iron Blossom south
smart, and two raises from The 500 drift
have been sent into orc. The first raise
is reported to have cut the ore for about
twenty-hve feet. and il was very high

raise also got the ore. but without the
high gold values had at No /, but the
ore is shipping grade.
IL may have been this lower gold value
that broke the stock mark etWlse, although
TO look for any rational cause Of stock
weakness on the existing poor stock
market seems useless, as the stock sit-
uatlon speaks for itself.

MINING INDUSTRY IS
IN HEALTHY SHAPE

With iron. copper. spelter, lead and
mining industry has nothing whereof to
complain. In fact, the production OF all
Of those metals Is large and we believe
that the Industry Is highly prosperous.
The demand for new mines and new
prospects worthy OF development is
greedy. The chief drawback Is the
shortage OF the supply.
The supply of near mines and indiffer-
ent prospects for sale at dream-prices is
bountiful. Transa ctions In these brands
are few. the market being very dull.
This may be explained by the duilness In
the sucker" market. those BUYERS being
apparently keeping a tight hold on their
pocketbooks.
In brief. the mining industry Is In a
very healthy condition.-Engineeri and
