WHO nave kept up Inc dSSeSSlHeHI
work with some slight additional
development each year since that
time. While the ore was high
grade antimony, the price which
seldom reached above cents per
pound would not yield enough
profits to overcome the heavy pen
alties imposed by the smelters,
the owners felt loathe to release
their title lest time would come
when it would yield substantial
profits. The mine, which is in
the Hucllleberry range, II miles
west of Gray station. contains a
5O-foot ledge between walls Of
ddlomite and slate Iron carbon
ates abound and a 400-foot tunnel
which cut the ledge exposed four
feet of ore which runs as high as
60 per cent antimony. With easy
blasting it is estimated that ten
ears of the ore can be extracted
which will net the owners in the
close neighborhood of $4,000 per
car, with values in gold sufficient
to pay for the mining. Several
years ago the Wells Fargo Mining
Company was organized to hold
the title, and as the property is
situated on state land a 30-year
lease Of the ground was obtained
five years ago. E. M. Hodgson is
president and general manager of
the company and his associates,
Jacob Keller, A. E. Bidgood and
j. w. Gillingham Of Springdale,
have concluded to personally
finance the enterprise and start
work April |. The stimulus
which has brought this property
into high favor is the rise Of the
price of antimony from seven
cents to 53 cents per pound with
in the last few months with a
chance for a long period of de-
mand for the metal. Arrange
merits are now under way for the
construction of buildings and
purchase Of equipment for the
work and shipping will begin not
later than May !.
The Loon Lake Copper Com
pany, owning the old O. K. prop
critics six miles north Of Loon
Lake, is selling stock and prepar-
ing to open up the mine as big
shipper. Senator Turner is
president, and Evan Morgan Of
Loon Lake is manager. Showings
from the mine are said to be ex-
ceptionally good with average as
says Of 33 per cent copper.
