GOOD RAINS IN COUNTY

Good rains are reported in all di-

are not suffering for moisture this part
of the county could absorb much more
than It now holds. Monday a big rain
fell at Montoya. Wednesday nice
rain fell all the way from Santa Rosa
to Cuervo, too much to make autoing
a pleasure. The plains country is re-
ceiving some nice showers.

Interstate Callahan Dividends.
$11.50
Fine Physical Condition.

The Interstate Callahan mine is re-
ported in excellent condition having
more available ore than at any other
period in it's history. Exploration
work from the shaft which was sunk
during the year 700 feet below the
working or No. tunnel has proved
the great ore shoot to maintain it's
size and richness, and whatever
change has developed with depth has
been in the direction of increasing the
great ore resources of the mine. Dur
ing the year the company made i'm
provements in it's milling facilities
which have resulted in reducing the
loss to the minimum. For the past
year and a half the company has had
in view the erection of a large milling
plant at Enaville, where a desirable
site has been secured, and while no
official announcement has been made
on the subject, it is believed with the
completion of the Beaver creek branch
of the O.-W. r. &c N. definite steps
will be taken having in view the treat
ment of Interstate Callahan ores at
Enaville, involving the extension of
the deep tunnel now started which
would afford 9 direct connection with
the Beaver creek railroad near Carbon
Center.

INDEPENDENT COPPER
GOOD LEAD SHOWING
SHAFT DOWN 200 FEET-WILL AT
ONCE DRIFT BOTH EAST
AND WEST.

Local stockholders in the Independ-
ent Copper Mining and Milling COM
pany are very much encouraged with
the result of recent development, and
at a meeting of the directors yester-
day arrangements were effected to
continue the work with renewed en-
ergy. Originally located as a copper
property, a few months ago lead made
it's appearance in the vein and contin-
ues to rival copper for first place. In
covery of a large body of lead ore, and
it is this that enthuses the stockhold-
ers over the outlook. After encoun-
tering lead in the drift to the east, a
shaft was sunk on the vein 200 feet,
showing carbonate and phosphate of
lead all the way and in the bottom
considerable galena. Copper is also
present in the shaft 1t is now pro-
posed to drift both east and west from
the bottom of the shaft, as all indica-
tions point to a body of ore. - While
the shaft was being sunk the main
drift was also extended, which con-
tinues to show both copper and lead in
varying quantities.
At the meeting of the directors yes
terday a report was ordered sent to
the stockholders, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken:
Extract From Report.
in drifting east we at times had
very encouraging showings of ore. In
some places lead and in other places
copper. The shaft showed up a mix
ture of lead phosphate, lead carbonate
and later sulphide of lead and copper,
but so far it has not been in CONNER
cial quantities. The indications, how
ever, point to big body of ore that
should not be very far off, and it is
our intention to drift on the vein east
and west from the bottom of the shaft.
Owing to the encouraging showing of
our property, the stockholders are
very enthusiastic about continuing the
work"

Two Feet of MiIlisy Ore Reported on

Development at the East Caledonia
at Wardner is rapidly verifying the
predictions made when the present
management took hold of the proper
ty As a preliminary step toward the
systematic exploration the company
installed a complete plant. which in
cludes compressor, hoist, pump and
all necessary equipment to accomplish
the work in the quickest and most eco
nomical manner. After exploring the
200 level with encouraging results, but
without finding permanent ore body,
attention was turned to the 300. Here
the conditions were found in some re-
spects similar to the showing above,
but the ground was less disturbed and
the prospect Of finding a permanent
ore body much more favorable. More
or less ore has been encountered for
some time, and now it is announced
by the management that there is two
feet of commercial ore in the face OF
the drift.

Company Making Rapid Progress To-
ward Making a Mine.
The recent strong demand for stock
in the Tarbox and advance in price is
the result of the satisfactory progress
that is being made toward opening the
known ore bodies from the shaft. The
crosscut is now being run from the
600 level which should cut the ore
body within 1870 feet, and it is expect
ed that this will be accomplished by
the first of the year. The shaft will
then be extended to the 500, from
which another crosscut will be run to
the vein. 1t should be borne in mind
that ore has already been encountered
on the 400, from which a winze has
been sunk 200 feet, proving a continu-
Gus ore shoot, so that the work that
is being done is more in the nature of
making the ore accessible for mining
than it is exploration work, although
it will unquestionably result in MAX
ing large addition to the ore in sight.
The property is well equipped for de-
velopment and about 20 men are en-
ployed. The showing is expected to
justify the construction of a mill in
the spring.

The sale of the Richmond mine was
virtually consummated within the past
few days by a cash payment of $4,000
upon an option secured on the stock of
the company on behalf of New York
capitalists. The Richmond company Is
capitalized for 100000 shares, Of
which something over 6S2,0OO shares
have been issued. The option was Sc
cured on all the issued stock ON ba-
sis of 80 cents per share, making the
ultimate purchase in round figures
about $350,000. Owing to a dispute
between Martin Woldson, president Of
the company, and the board of direct
ors over the delivery of certain
of treasury stock, Mr.. Woldson
has not accepted payment on his hold
tngs, but it is expected that this will
be adjusted in a manner that will be
and permit the deal to go
through as originally planned.
Half Million in Sight.
The Richmond is situated in Idaho
Just across the Montana Idaho divide,
near the head of Silver creek and Is
about miles from Saltese. 1t Is an
old property from the standpoint of
location, but it's development is very
limited compared with its productive

plant of so tons daily capacity, and the
trial run has demonstrated its perfect
adaptability to the treatment of ores of
the company, the chief value of which
is silver. The company has a large
amount of ore blocked out, and the
successful operation of the mill will
probably be followed by an enlarge
ment of its capacity next summer.
Yankee Boy.
Two or three leasing companies are
at work on the Yankee Boy and all are
making money. The most important
one is the Big Creek Leasing company,
which is working the lower ground ex-
tending down to the creek. The COM
pany expended large sum driving a
long crosscut before there was
chance to get a dollar in return, and
which required nerve as we'll as
money. Results fully justified the big
enterprise, The company encountered
a large shoot of high grade ore, en-
abling it to begin regular shipments
which yield handsome profits. A splen-
did plant was installed.
Big Greek Lease.
Across the creek from the Yankee
Boy is the property of the Big Creek
Mining company, the ground of which

ed under lease, shipping much high
grade silver ore, similar to the Yankee
Boy. The Big Creek company is now
driving a crosscut 500 feet below the
leased ground, which will no doubt find
the rich ore shoot fully as good and
probably better than it is above.
The Wisconsin.
At the mouth of Moon creek the
wisconsin company has fine shoot of
copper ore opened on two levels and
in a shaft 100 feet deep sunk from the
lower level One shipment has been
made from the property which netted
$120 per ton and the management will
make furthAS shipments just as soon
as the wateTis available for power.
Many Other Promising Properties.
Mention has here been made only Of
properties in the Osburn section which
have shipping ore. In every direction
from Osburn there is much develop
ment work in progress on properties
which give promise Of soon entering
the producing class. 1t is a field of
wonderful mineral possibilities and it
appears to be entering upon period
Of great activity which will make a

came heavily interested in the prop
erty, and tunnel was run from the
Idaho side to open the property al
depth and provide a permanent outlet
the plan being to deliver the ore to
the Milwaukee at Adair. This plan
seems to have been abandoned last
summer when new management took
hold of the property. The extraction
of ore through the shaft, the original
outlet for the mine, was prosecuted
energetically, and in a brief period II
cars of ore were hauled to the railroad
at Saltese and shipped which it is stat
ed netted the company between $685..
900 and 100000 It is estimated that
ore to the value of half million dol
lars is blocked out above the 100-foot
level. The ore shoot on this level is
$50 feet long and has an average value
of Is or IS per cent copper as well as
considerable gold.
Plans of New Owners.
The parties who hold the option on
the Richmond are understood to be
very strong financially and they pro-
pose to proceed at once mining the
ore and developing the property on an
extensive scale. The details of these
plans have not been made public, but
1t is known that they contemplate
crowding production to the limit under
the spur of high prices for copper
