GETH|N LE ROY To
RUN NEW TUNNEL
Contract for 800 Feet Let
by Silver Island Prop
erty.

The Gethin Le Roy Mining company,
operating in the Silver Island district,
west Of the Great Salt lake, has just
let contract for 300 feet Of tunnel to
be run on the LIE Roy fssure. This u.s.
sure runs from the base Of the hill on
the side Of the mountain where all the
mine buildings are situated up the hill
for distance of 3oo0 feet to where it
intersects the mother lode. The con-
tract calls for continuous work and
speedy completion. 1t is expected
three shifts will be worked from the
beginning.
The running Of this tunnel will DO
much to develop tho country as 1t wlLd wlL

attempted on this property. With Ihe
800 feet of tunnel now contracted 1or,

Because of the much greater depth

on the east is now in seventy-hve feet
and work is being pushed, with a fur,

BOND AND LEASE
ON V|PONT MINE
Deal That VIII Start Activity
in Northwestern Corner
of State.

The Vipont Mining company. com
posed Of Utah and Michigan people, has
O deal on with Idaho parties by which
the latter will be given longtime lease
and bond On the Yipont company prop
erty In the Ashbrook mining district,
Boxelder county, Utah.
Tho property Is an old one, having
been worked nearly forty years ago.
1t has a production record Of about
100000, and there is now several thou"
sand tons of $15 ore on the dumps. The
values are chiefly in silver and gold,
with some lead.
Tho company'B estate consists OF
about 900 acres Of patented ground,
with four millsites. It is In the OK.
treme northwestern part OF the state,
but few miles from the Idaho line, and
the nearest railroad point is Oakley,
Idaho, about twenty-five miles; There
is something like 4000 feet OF develop
ment on the property, 5000 feet Of this
being tunnels.
The owners regard the property as
big Iow-grade milling. proposition that,
with cheap power, such as is now prom
ised by recent hydro electric develop
mente on Goose creek, In the Oakley
country, and reasonable railroad facili-
ties, will make nm excellent venture.
The property was at one time equipped
with mill, compressor and hoisting plant,
but was at that time so remote from a
railroad that it's successful operation
was difficult matter. The mill has
out Of date as well as out Of repair.
As soon as the deal is closed and
some preliminary matters attended to
the Idaho people propose to inaugurate
an active campaign Of development and
production.

ASK VOLUNTEERS TO
GIVE INFORMATION

The mines and mining committee Of
the Commercial club is dcsirous Of hav-
ing mining mon in each mining district
Of the state volunteer to furnish occa-
sionally, when called upon, information
concerning their respective districts.
The club desires to have on hand re-
liable information Of this kind in order
to reply intelligently and promptly to
the many inquiries on the subject, and
wishes to have this staff of volunteer
assistants on whom it may call when
not able to answer such inquiries fully
and correctly from the information 1t
may have at hand.
The club secretary would be pleased
to hear from mining men all over the
state on this subject, and 1t Is believed
a general and hearty cooperation along
these lines will do much to advance the
mining industry in Utah. The score
tary requests all those who are willing
to assist by furnishing information to
send in their names to be added to
this committee
The secretary also suggests that they
send in summaries Of operations IN their
respective districts for the year 1918,
to be added to the committee g stock
of information.

How Sampler Would Work.

Such a sampler would receive ores
from mines and prospects. in car lots
or wheelbarrow loads; it would be
weighed, crushed and put through auto
matte sampling machines. The owner
Of the ore would then receive his check
and the money would remain in the
local field The two chief advantages,
according to mining men, would be the
enormous stimulus such a plant would
give to prospecting and initial small
mining, and N the solution Of the mar,
ket problem. Any prospector with a
few tons of ore con the Dump could
then get his, money out of it quickly
and with new incentive 90 about the
task of digging more, The establish
ment OF such works at Oroville would
be the means of centralizing the min
ing interests of Okanogan county at
that point.

the controlling interest in the Moyie
Mining, Milling G. Power company, con-

near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, from James
La Fountain and Harry Falk. The pur-
chase price was said to be $4,000. The
Moyie holdings were originally staked
out by the La Fountain brothers and
have been operated for several years
under the management Of J. II. Turner
Of Spokane.

SILVER PICK WILL
USE MACHINE DRILLS

By April the management Of the Sill
yer Pick Consolidated Mining company
will be in position to prosecute the
Development Of the property more ex-
peditiously than at any time in it's best
history, according to General Superin-
tendent Walter S. Norris, says the
Goldfeld Tribune. BY that date hand
steel, which has been in use since oper-
ationss were originally inaugurated, will
have been replaced by motor equipment
in the shape of machine drills.
superintendent Norris states that the
two'stage compressor, an order for
which was placed by President Zadig
about month ago, is scheduled to mr.
rive on the ground soon. The compress.
sor will be capable Of operating four
2A inch piston drills, but only two
such machines will be installed until
more can be used advantageously. Tho
two drills have already been purchased
locally and q forty horsepower motor,
which will drive the compressor, was re.
ceived from San Francisco about
week ago.

MINE AT CENTRAL CITY
Has 100000 Tons of $14
Gold Ore Now in
Sight.
MINE AT CENTRAL CITY

The property Of the Buckley Mining
company ut Central City, Colo, has been
taken over by a number Of prominent
Salt Lake and Utah man and tho COM
pany reorganized with the following
officers; r. P. Morris, president; Ben
T. Lloyd, vice president, Noble War
rum, secretary and treasurer. These
with w. N. Williams Of this city and
Willard Scowcroft OF Ogdon constitute
the directorate, Other Utah people in
terested nre J. A. McAlister of this
city, who has been busy for some time
organizing the deal, and George Q.
Whitmore Of Nephi. D. L. Evans of
Malad, Idaho, is also Interested
Central City is famous old mining
produced 100000, and adjoins the no.
ted Gunneu mine with a dividend REQ
ord of $9,oo0,00o. There is shaft on
the property $50 feet deep and the
equipment consists of 100-horsepower
engine and hoist, a large compressed
air outfit, drills, good buildings, etc. 1t
is only three-fourths of mile from the
postoiice in Central City,
For some time the lower workings
Of this mine as well ns others in the
district have been flooded, but recently
the Newhouse tunnel, beginning at
Idaho City and four and one-half miles
long, has unwatered all that section, as
it cuts 1850 feet under the surface Of
the Buckley mine. The railroad and
power facilities are excellent and coal
can be had at $5 ton.
The two veins, like all others In that
district, are true fssures and recent es-
Inmates by sn expert are that there Is
now in sight In The mine 100000 tons
Of ore, average samples Of which run
$l4.05. One Of these veins is from
three and one-half to six feet wide and
the other from six to twenty feet. The
ore is an iron sulphide and easily
milled, having no refractory substances,
The values are mostly gold. Sheldon
Smillie, an eminent engineer, rec emily
estimated that by having it's own mill
on the ground the company could mine
and mill the ore at cost not to exceed
$3.50 ton. This mine Is also near the
big Dupont pitcbblende mine.
The company proposes to begin work
at once, there being several ore faces
from which production can begin with
out delay. 1t Is the intention to erect
a mill in the future, but for the present
the company Will probably lease a mill,
there being several of them not far
from the mine. The property is good
one and the new owners hnve every
confidence that 1t will become a big and
profitable producer Mr.. Lloyd has been
large holder in the property for some
time and previous to this reorganization
owned a controlling interest.

IMPORTANT STRIKE
MADE IN OPOHONGO

A very important strike has just been
made in the Opohongo mine at NAM
moth, a splendid body Of gold ore being
opened in block Of ground upon which
Mark Steele and William johnson have
a lease These leasers have been at WORK
in the Opohongo for the past six months
and during that time they have shipped
about three carloads Of very nice cop.
per, and it was while following small
bunch Of copper orc that they eneoun.
tered the gold bearing quartz. When 1t
was first located this quartz contained
nothing but tho gold and the leasers
passed the rock up for several days, con-
sidering it Of no particular value, but
later they had 1t assayed, aud when the
report from the assayer showed that 1t
carried five ounces Of gold they nearly
died Of heart failure. Other assays were
made and all Of them showed better
than an ounce In gold, the best going
as high as six ounces, says the Eureka
Reporter,
Theodore Hatfield, the secretary Of
the company, was out from the capital
yesterday, and in company with super
intendent Samuel Cox made very thor
ough examination Of the new find. They
state that the new ore body is fully ten
showed two and half ounces in gold,
as well as little copper. This means
that the ore is worth in the neighbor-
hood of $50 to the ton, just IS it is
broken down by the miners. To start
with it contained only the gold, but the
last few days some copper has been
coming in.
This ore is entirely different from
anything that the Opohongo has had IN
been mined from this ground during the
time that leasers have been at work
there has been what is known as arseni-
cal copper, while the new ore body con-
tains what might be termed gold quartz.
There is considerable iron and spar in
the quartz and the ore deposit has the
earmarks Of permanency- The new dis
covery has been made in portion OF
the property that has not been devel-
there is o splendid chance of it max
ing into something big. Another thing
that makes it Of much Importance is
the fact that it is deeper than any Of
the ore bodies that have been found In
this mine in the past few years.
Most of the ore that has been mined
from the Opohongo, and from which
the company has paid it's dividends,
was taken from the workings above the
600 level Some work was done to q
depth OF 700 feet and small deposit
Of rather low-gFade copper ore was
found on this last mentioned level, but
systematic prospecting of the vein
failed to reveal anything of impor-
tance. The ore body that Steele &
johnson have opened is about fifty
feet above the 700 level, and from
present indications it will extend to
even greater depth.
Other blocks of ground in the Opo-
hongo are being worked under the leas-
inc system by Sleeves & Smith and
Wide & Smith, copper ore being mined
In the upper workings of the mine
Superintendent COX is prospecting an
entirely new ore channel with condi.
tions very favorable for getting into
some new ore

Another Cobalt Surprise,

The ability of Cobalt to confute the
prophet and the geologist has been well
instanced. The veins refuse to be lin
they have been repeatedly assigned,
says the Mining and Engineering Jour
nal. Now comes news that another lit
tie vein has broken out of bounds and
appears in the granite. The strike was
made by the Beaver Consolidated which
reports width of four to six inches,
with silver content from 1000 to 49,
900 ounces per ton Extent in depth
and along the strike is not yet known,
only thirteen feet OF work having been
done at latest reports
