MINING ON WOOD RIVER
LOOKS LIKE OLD TIMES
STEADY LEAD MARKET AND SILL
YER ADVANCE CAUSES A
MARKED REVIVAL.

According to a HALEY correspond
emit, the famous Wood river section
appears to be undergoing a mining
revival such as has not been expert
enced since the palmy days of the
early sos, and early '90s. Miners who
have held on to their properties for
years In the hope that they would be
able to lease or sell to companies who
could handle them are now being i'm
portuned for leases and options by
representatives of large capital. More
mines have been leased and bonded
during the past few months than In
as many years before. More miners
are at work in the Wood river district
than there have been for 10 years, and
with the opening Of spring a much
larger force will be working.
The Spokane company, which has
recently taken over the famous Croe-
sus property, will begin operations i'm
mediately after the first of the year
and by spring will have a force Of 100
men at work
The Red Elephant Consolidated
Mines company will double its force
In the old Lipman tunnel, in which 1t
has struck a good body of ore, and as
soon as necessary arrangements can
be made will put on a large number
Of men.

Mineral Production of Utah in 1915

increased from 152,034,002 pounds in
1914 to about 1S2,5Sso00 pounds in
1915, the increase amounting to more
than 20 per cent in quantity and about
s11, 450, 900 in value. The gain was
made mostly by the Utah Copper mine
at Bingham, which is credited with an
Increase Of S4,207,552 pounds over the
output of 1914. Low grade porphyry
ore was produced from the Utah Cop
per property and a smaller quantity
from the Ohio Copper mine. The Gao
tus NINE in southern Utah, was not
operated, but preparations were being
made by a leasing company using the
flotation process to retreat the Cactus
tailIngs, which are reported to carry IA
pounds of copper per ton. The ONO
Copper mine and mill, after going In
to the hands of a receiver, were for
long time idle, but during the last half
of the year were being operated by
lessees
Lead.
The mine production of lead increas-
ed from 171,323,137 pounds in 1914 tc
219, 098,0OO pounds in 1915, or about 2s
per cent, mostly from the Bingham
district, where the Utah Apex, Utah
Consolidated, United States and the
Bingham New Haven were the larg-
est producers. In Park City the Sill
yer King Coalition, DAILY West, DAILY
Judge and Silver King Consolidated
added to the total output. In the Cot
tonwoods the mines produced over
12,0O0,000 pounds of lead, a large part
of 1t coming from the. Cardiff prop
erty.
Zinc.
With the advance in prices, zinc ore
was offered from many sources. The
mine production of zinc recoverable
as spelter aggregated 22,643.O0O pounds
valued at about $3,224,O00. This is an
increase of about Al per cent in guam
tity over the output of 1914, amount
ing to 15,9S9,267 pounds The largest
shipments of zinc concentrates were
made from the Midvale mill of the
United States Mining company, which
treated some custom ore besides that
handled from its own property at
Bingham. The DAILY Judge mine, at
Park City, was the next largest pro-
Queer of concentrates, followed by the
DAILY West and the mills recovering
zinc from the old tailings lodged on
the flats below Park City. Promon-
tory district, in Box Elder county, be-
came prominent in zinc production
from the Lake View mine, which is
credited with S,446,916 pounds of zinc
figured as recoverable spelter New
zinc deposits were also opened near
Hyrum in Cache county and Woodside
in Emery county, each district pro-
ducing several cars of crude zinc ore
Altogether there were 38 producers of
zinc ore in Utah in 1915.
All the smelling establishments were
operating at full capacity soon after
the first Of the year. These were the
Murray, Midyale. International, and
Garfield plants.
Dividends amounting to about &c.
100000 were distributed by Utah min
ing companies in 1915 as against ST.
431,O1 in 1914.

Shipments From Vienna.

The Vienna Mines company is now
working 2S men and has shipped two
cars OF ore since the snow fell. If the
roads can be kept open they will haul
ore to Ketchum for shipment through
out the winter. otherwise they will
store the ore at the mines until the
roads are open in the spring. They
are extracting large quantities of mill
Ing ore from their Webfoot mine and
high grade ore from the Solace and
Red Wing claims.
John P. Boyle of Salt Lake, who is
at the head of a company that recent
ly purchased the North Star mine, ar
rived Monday accompanied by Ralph
Nichols and Mr. Hart, two prominent
mining engineers, for an inspection of
the property. They win be here some
time and will probably examine other
property during their visit.
Option on Idaho Chief.
Jack schaub, the pioneer Smoky
mining man, Tuesday gave an option
on his Idaho Chief group on the Big
Smoky to Spokane mining man. On
the same day Fred Renhard bonded
his claims adjoining the Croesus to
the same party. William O'Conner
has recently given a lease and option
on his property at Muldoon. In all |
these cases a number of men must be |
put to work on the properties as soon
as a thorough examination can be

Under the guidance Of German oiii-

RIGID INQUIRY
into ATTACK ON
THE NEBRASKAN
Captain Greene Not Positive
That American Ship Was
Hit By German Torpedo
INVESTIGATION Gets
UNDER WAY IN London
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
LIVERPOOL, May 2s.-Under the |
direct orders from Washington. the
naval attache of the American en-
bassy at London today began a rigid
inquiry into the reported torpedoing
of the American steamer Nebraskan
by a German submarine. Captain J.
S. Greene and officers of the Ne
braskan we're quizzed at a secret ses-
sion while preparations we're being
made to put the steamer in drydock
for a careful examination of her hull.
What statement her master made to
the American attache is not known,
but the newspaper men Captain
Greene frankly admitted he could not
swear positively that the Nebraskan
was torpedoed or that she hit A mile
The best | can say is that some-
thing struck us at about S.25 Tues
day night while we we're about forty
miles west of Southcliff," said Cap
tain Green. 1T is my belief. how
ever, that we were hit by a torpedo
The chief engineer said he thought he
saw something resembling the wake
of a torpedo on the starboard side
just before the explosion. He is not
certain about it.
The weather was clear and it was
still quite light. We had the name OF
the vessel and her port painted in big
letters on both sides amidships. If
submarine attacked us she knew
what she was going about. She must
have known that she was shooting a
torpedo against an American ship.
Il was in the cabin when the shock
came, third officer being on the bridge.
First there was a violent shock and
then after a brief interval a terrific
explosion. The hoats-wain, who was
asleep in one of the forecastle cabins
was injured about the head and legs
and two quartermasters we're slight
ly injured.
"A great hole, at least twenty feet
square, was torn in the starboard
bow below the waterline The fore
castle cabin was wrecked and several
steel girders flung overheard. What
ever struck us certainly caused a ter
rife explosion.
"The ship began to fill so rapidly
that / thought she was going to sink
feet at the head when l ordered the
crew to the boats after sending out
wireless calls for assistance.
I'VE cruised about for an hour, but
saw no submarine. When we saw
the Nebraskan apparently was in no
danger of sinking we returned and
got her under steam again. Early
the next morning two boats sent out
by the British Admiralty joined us
and we got under way. We first
thought of putting in at Queenstown,
but later decided to continue on 10
Liverpool.
None of the officers or the crew
saw submarine or a torpedo. My
belief that the Nebraskan was tor
pedoed is based on the chief engi-
neer's story and the fact that in
my opinion a mine would not have
caused such a terrific explosion"
