Resumption of Work on
Diana and Promise of
Early Activity on Merri-
mac Give Added Test to
Interest in Mines on Flat
WEST STAR HAS
GOOD MILLING ORE
Tintic Has Already Pro-
duced 100000 Under
Crude Methods, as the Re-
suit of Which Most of the
Silver Values Were Lost

With the resumption of
work in the Diana by Col.
George F. Beveridge, into
whose hands it passed a few
days ago, and with a re-
sumption of work in the
Merrimac almost assured,
interest centers this week in
the west end of the district
among the gold-silver prop
critics of that section.
This brings active mining close to
the Tintic, West Star and Tuckaho
properties, the former and latter hav-
ing been producers in years past, the
West Star being situated between
them and on the same vein.
Produced 100000
The Tintic has a production record
Of 100000, while the Tuekahee pro-
duced $4,000. Both these properties
were operated under the crudest min
ing conditions and the ore was treat
ed in a like manner, the Tintic boast
ing an arrastra, the Tuckaho using q
homemade concentration. The won
der is that the figures reached the
mark given, the principal silver val
ues being lost almost completely, much
Of the richest ore carrying wire silver
and ruby silver in plentiful quantities,
so that while it was possible to effect
a fair recovery Of the wire silver, the
other was hopelessly lost.
Joins Tintic on South
The West Star is joined on the
south by the Tintic and on the north
by the Tuckaho. A shaft was sunk
through 40 feet Of wash and the Tin
vein found as expected.
The shaft was continued on the in
cline following the vein to a depth Of
so feet, when the owners found it i'm
possible to find means to continue the
work. The ore was found to be of
good milling grade, containing silver
to the extent Of Is ounces and gold
values amounting to $3.50, totaling
approximately SIS per ton across four
feet of the vein.
The owners of the property, anxious
to secure funds for further deevlop-
ment, took the property to Harold ].
Read, making him such a fattering
proposition that he readily undertook
to finance the undertaking and put the
nits feet. His success to
date has been highly encouraging and
it seems certainty that this valuable
property is in line for a development
commensurate with its
worth.-Chloride Herald.

that work will begin in a short time

MILL MACHINERY
BEING INSTALLED
All Necessary Equipment Is
Expected to Be on Ground
Within Two Weeks-New
Working Tunnel Already
in Over 200 Feet

A mining deal involving a
large sum Of money and
transferring the Copper Age
interests of George W. Peer
to Robert Mead Martin, was
consummated in Los Angeles
last week, giving the latter
and George F. Goerner, the
inventor of the ore reduc-
ton process that is being in
stalled in the Copper Age
mill, absolute control, and
enabling them to proceed
with mine. development and
production according to the
plans they originally laid
out.
The deal was brought up and closed
in a spirit of harmony, Mr.. Martin
merely making Mr.. Peer an attractive
cash offer that the latter did not feel
justified in refusing, especially in view
Of Mr.. Martins expressed wish that
he be permitted to place himself in q
position that would enable him to sat
isfy his ambition to make produc-
ing mine according to his own mature
plans.
Machinery Arriving
The machinery for the Copper Age
mill is arriving slowly, but most Of, it
should be on the ground in ten days
or two weeks. Probably the last piece
to arrive will be the Sturtevsnt rock
erusher, which is manufactured in the
East, and which may meet with delay
en- route. The management expects to
have the mill in operation about
March 1.
The new working tunnel has ad-
vanced 200 feet from the portal and
must be driven 1900 feet farther be-
fore it will be Of much use. All the
new machinery for mining purposes
will be placed in position for use in
connection with this tunnel, and al
ready the 150-horsepower Fairbanks
Morse gas engine that is to drive the
740-cubic feet capacity compressor,
drill sharpener, and pump that will
be used in the water supply shaft, is
in position. The pump just men
toned will be run by compressed air.
All this machinery has been ordered
and is en- route.
The winze being sunk on the tunnel
level is down IS feet, with good ore all
the way. No lateral work will be at
tempted until it has reached the 100
foot level, which will place that level
30 feet below the surface and allow
the opening up Of slopes of am
plitude.
1t is declared on good authority that
the price paid for the controlling in
