DEER CREEK SHOWS
HIGH GRADE ORE
DYKE SHOWS WIDTH OF HUN
DRIED FEET AND GREAT
LENGTH

The Deer Greek Mining company's
property, in the north end of Jackson
mountain, is showing up some very
rich copper ore. There are 16 claims
in the company's holdings and in
each copper is found in paying guam
titles in two and three places. The
company is sinking a shaft on the
ledge and the deeper they go the bet
ter the ore. In this shaft there is
a ledge of gray copper ten inches
wide and the ore is almost solid cop
per.
There is a big dyke of copper 100
feet across and it can be traced for
600 feet. Adjoining this claim is a
large porphyry dyke and in this
dyke copper is also found.
The ore is a black and red oxide
of copper, and native copper is found
in large quantities. The company
has taken out a shipment of ore
%assaying 22.5 per cent and the ship
ment will be made as soon as the
road permits hauling the ore.

been taken out assaying 61 and 20

property ~assaying 8 to 10 per cent,
with several lodges of high grade
ore. A large amount of work has
been done and good showings of cop

Shafts have been sunk and tunnels
run. and these show good ore.
There are large porphyry dykes
running with these claims that carry
considerable native copper.

CAMP OF RED BUTTE is
COPPER SHIPPING CENTER

P. H. Craven, manager for the
Craven Copper Mining company in
the Red Butte district, is spending a
few days in town on a business mis-
sion.
This company has arranged for
extensive development and produc-
tion and is to send out regular ship
ments. The ore is hauled to Ante
lope station, where it is loaded on
cars and SHIPPED over the Western
Pacific. The Craven company ac-
complished considerable development
on it's property last summer and a
large tonnage of high grade copper
is out on the dumps and blocked out
in the mine ready to be sent to a
smelter for reduction.
Red Butte district is located in the
western part of the county and it is
understood there are many other
good properties in the camp, not
only copper propositions, but there
are some good gold, silver-lead prop

CONGRESS COPPER
PROStcUTES WORK
ING VALUE OF CLAIMS
BEING DEVELOPED

The Congress Copper company
which started operations soon after
the first of the year upon the Elec-
trolytic Group, which it purchased
from A. c. Bachman, c. G. Wat
son and E. G. Watson, has opened
a large showing of teaching ore
upon this ground. A tunnel has
been run under the principal sur
face showing and nearly 100 feet
of teaching ore thus far developed.
Drifts are now being run in each
direction upon some of the better
looking stringers, and faces Of ore
averaging better than 5 per cent
copper are being broken in each
drift. AS soon as a sufficient ton
mage is developed the company
plans to build a pony tram from
the mine to the mill site below the
Champion mine. This ground ad-
joins and contains the extension of
the ore showing on the Mayflower
mine.
On the Anderson mhIe, which
the Champion company has under
bond, the company is breaking ore
fourteen feet wide on Level No. 1
below the tunnel level. A small
force is breaking about so tons per
day here which will average So
per cent copper.
Unfortunate litigation cen to
be casting it's spell over the New
York Canyon section, but this, so
far, has only involved the Wall
Street and Turk mines.
In the Copper Basin section
south from Luning, Paul Stock is
operating the California Group I'M
der lease and is now shipping his
first car of ore. This property has
lain idle for nearly ten years. Bet
ties and Nelson have DR.. Pache's
ground under lease for IS months.
Many applicants for leases have
been after this property and it had
been hoped that it would be di-
vided into small blocks instead of
being let entirely to one lease.
This would have given work to
many leasers and caused activity.
Adjoining the Pache ground, Paul
Stock has given a bond on his
Baltimore Group to capitalists
who plan to start shipping ore
soon.
Mver and Albis, operating on
their property just north from the
Baltimore group, are taking out
good ore and will soon complete
a carload shipment. John O'Con-
Iell, one of the old timers of this
section, is also operating and ship
ping from a property in that vicin-
ity known by the name of Green
Tunnel. He has shipped one car
OF good ore and has a second car
practically out.-Mina Miner.

CAMP HAMILTON
SHOWS ACTIVITY
OLD DISTRICT ENJOYS PROS
PERITY DUE TO ADVANCE
IN METALS

Pat Gallagher, who for the past
year has been leasing on the Nc
Ellin property at Hamilton, arriv-
ed in Ely Wednesday OF a short
business trip. Pat states that the
old time camp is in better form
than it has been for many years,
which is largely due to the present
high price of silver and lead. He
has nearly four cars of ore out and
ready for shipment, and while here
closed a contract with A. Knight of
McGill to haul his ore to Eureka
for shipment. His lease is now in
physical shape to output a consider
able tonnage during the present
year.
Allen brothers, he states, who
have a lease on the Jennie A pro-
perty, have a considerable tonnage
ready for shipment, which will soon
be on the road to the smelters.
B~ambergers of Salt Lake City, have
several hundred tons of ore ready
for shipping, which will be COM
menced some time in the near flu
ture. 1t is expected that their ship
ments will average 100 tons per
months during the season.
Joe Valeski, who is leasing on
the old Cornell mine, also has a
considerable tonnage ready for the
smelters, a portion of which is a
jigged product.
Edward McEllin is now prepared
to jig the dumps of his property
which will keep a large force of
men busy during the entire season.

COPPER
MINES ARE BUSY
PROPERTY PROVIDED WITH AC-
COMMODATIONS FOR MANY
MEN

The work at Kimberly on the
property of the Consolidated Copper
Mines company is being driven
ahead as rapidly as conditions will
permit and good progress is being
made. The 50O-ton unit is in con-
slant operation and being worked
to its full capacity. Two cars of con-
centrates or high grade are are be-
ing shipped every three days to Nc
Gill, where the same is being ham
died at the plant of the Nevada
consolidated, and in addition to this
800 tons of carbonate ore are be-
ing shipped each week to the smelt-
ers at Garfield.
These are busy days on the 1000
this work is being extended into the
Old Glory hole, where magnificent
returns are looked for. The second
unit will soon be in operation. Some
of the machinery for this unit is
now on the ground and the manage
ment hopes to see operations in full
blast before the close of the COM
ing month.
When a representative of the News
made inquiry regarding the cutting
down of the number of carpenters
employed during the past month, he
was informed that this was due only
to the fact that the carpenter work
Immediately necessary had been COM
pleted. A carpenter shop and 80
one-room cabins have beer erected
on the property and this will meet
all immediate deands.
There are go men on the pay
roll and this will probably be in
creased. The pay roll for last month
was 100000. 1t is estimated that it
will be fully as large this month
and during the summer no doubt
will be substantially increased.
The mine management is now in
charge of William Hogan, who was
for many years in charge of the op-
erations in the past and recently re
turned to the district to take up the
same line of work.
There are many who attach much
significance to the fact that in the
use of stationery and such as is al
ways open to the public eye in cor
nection with the management of the
property, the name of the CONSOLIDATE
ed Copper Mines company is being
used entirely and the name of Gil
rouX eliminated. AS to just what
that may mean in connection with
the merger can only be a matter 80
speculation, but from all the condi-
tons there seems to be sufficient
warrant for the statement thai dur
ing the coming summer Pilot Knob
will be the scene of mining activities,
which will mean much to this dis
trict.-White Pine News.

SELLS INTEREST
v|RG|N|A-LOU|SE
CALIFORNIA MAN BUYS ONE
TWELFTH INTEREST PRO-
Missing PROPERTY

An important mining deal was
brought to a successful conclusion
in this city a few days ago when
the virginia-Louise Mining company
completed negotiations with DIR. ii.
c. Hall Of Barstow, Cal, for a one
twelfth interest in the DAVIDSON
patented lode mining claim, situat-
ed adjacent to the domains OF the
big Prince Consolidated. DR.. a
still retains the remainder of a one
fourth interest in his W name;
the Prince Consolidated Mining q
Smelling company owns a three
fourths interest, the latter ormln
the basis for what is known as the
Davidson Mining company.
DR.. Hall, it is understood from an
official of the Virginia-Louise COM
pany, is to receive $4,000 for the
interest to be conveyed to the Vir-
ginia company. In turn, the pur-
chasing company is to execute a
1O-year lease to DR.. Hall.
The prime object of the deal, 1t
is said, is to stave off every posi-
bility of litigation over apex rights,
which move has been threatened By
the Prince Consolidated, using the
Davidson corporation as the wea-
pom 20 bring about this result. But
now that the Virginia-Louise Is a
co-owner, alters the situation.
The Virginia-Louise ore bodies
are a continuation of the Prince
channels, the character and value
of the ore running about the same,
it is claimed, as the product OF the
Prince mine.
w. H. Lehman, the New York
mining engineer, who sampled h
Virginia-Louise mine not long ago
rendered a report in which he esti-
mated that there is already develop
ed in the mine ore having a gross
valuation of $1,000 900; and the
extent of the ore bodies are yet to
be determined.
The company is working out de-
tails looking towards the thorough
financing of the property and the
Inauguration of an active develop
ment and production campaign. =

MAN Meter USED IN
SELECTION OF OFFICERS
Psychology Expert at Fort Sher-

Standard.

Uncle Sam is using "man meter
In the selection Of the officers for the
new national army.
Or. Walter Dill Scott former head of
the department of psychology Of North
western university, now n government
expert, visited Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, the
other day. The man meter" is said
to be his invention-the result of the
application Of his knowledge Of psy-
chology to the task of judging men. At
the request of n number Of industrial
leaders he used the same plan In con-
nection with big business organizations,
but for some time he has been In gov
ernnient service.
HIS plan was presented to the In
structors Of the reserve officers train
ing camp. but it will be used only in
part, as 1t came some time after the
selective machinert had been grinding.
He previously had presented 1t at
Plattsburg, Fort Myer and Fort Ben
jamin Harrison, where 1t is said to
have been adopted And 1t is expected
1t will be used throughout the second
camps.
The theory of the "man meter" is the
establishment of standards by which
man may be judged. DR.. Scott found
means of doing this. AS 1t Is applied
to the army's present task, the basis
is established by the Instructors com
parison Of the candidate he is judging
with ten army captains under whom
he has served.
There are five points to be scored
