month in the winze formerly sunk

have dikter la ore from the start and
this ore has gradually improved in

prove up really valuable ore body.
The Highland Queen mine is
owned by William H. Pitts and VIM.

about closed negotiations for val

MINE OPERATORS
MORE OPTIMISTIC
From Salt Lake Tribune:

-~N--O
More optimism prevailed IN local
mining circles yesterday as result
Of the announcement that on August
II the reduced bullion freight rate
of $3.50 would be put into effect,
than has been noticeable for a con-
siderable time. Since the slump in
the price Of metals there has been
little to encourage the mine operator.
n is a well-known fact that were it
not for the provisions of the Pittman
act, which guarantees price Of 81
per ounce for silver for several years,
there would probably be no Utah
mines operating.
That Utah mines have been able
to maintain production has been due
solely to the fact that the silver con-
tent Of the ores has made possible
the continuation Of activity, notwith-
standing the low price Of lead, How
ever, with proportionally lower
smelter rates promised when the
bullion tariff is reduced and the pos
sibly, almost certainty, that an in
creased tariff on lead will be enacted
and foreign shipments of the meta
excluded, the silverlead industry Is
facing brighter outlook than it ha
for some time.

ORE SHIPMENTS

A slight increase was noted in the
ore shipments from the Phoebe dis
trict during the past fortnight and it
is to be hoped that this improvement
though slight, will be maintained.
Greater interest is now manifested in
the operation of small leases and
with the encouragement of improved
smelter rates and the reduction in

grades of ore, the production if the

JOSEPH DE[MuE SR.
DIES AFTER LONG
ILLNESS

Word was received in Phoebe Sat-
urday evening, August 9Th that Mr..
Joseph Delmue, Sr., had died that
afternoon at his home in Round Val

gland for several years and had been
under treatment in a hospital at
Los Angeles, CAL, for a number OF
weeks but no relief was obtained At
the ranch about three months ago
he was on a ladder doing some work
from which he fell, breaking the
thigh bone and was taken to the hos
pital at Salt Lake for treatment and
returned home month ago with his
leg in the plaster cast. The bone re-
fused to knit and caused him great
suffering for many weeks, being
compelled to lie continuously on his
back.
The remains were brought to
Phoebe Tuesday morning, August 8,
and services were held at 2:30 that
afternoon at The church on Cedar
street, the Rev. Father S1attery of
Caliente officiating. After the serv-

the Catholic cemetery where the re-
mains were deposited in their last
resting place. The pail bearers
\
were H. Il. Prudential, j. A. Clark,

MINE DEvEOPMENT
PROGRESSING IN
FRE|BURG DISTRICT

The Olympia Mining and Milling
company of Salt Lake City, now op-
Grating at Frieburg in the extreme
western part of this county, is prose-
cutting some important development
work on its extensive property. A
compressor plant is now installed
and the work of driving tunnel t.
tap the ore body is being pushed for
ward with energy. This ore body is
very unique in that the outcrop is
exposed high up on the mountain
side, onsequently this tunnel, when
driven about 500 feet should tap
the vein and open it up for further
development at depth of approx
mate 700 feet from the surface.
Transporting the ore from the portal
of the tunnel to the main road will
offer no difficulties, in fact, the waste
now being trammed out of the tunnel
rolls down the mountain side for
fully 1000 feet before reaching the
bottom.
High assays were obtained from
this prominent outcrop and shaft
was sunk to depth of 270 feet from
the surface Shipping ore was fol-
lowed all the way down the shaft
and in view of the intense minerali-
zation of Freiburg Mountain, it is
probable that ore sufficiently high
grade to stand the cost of transpor-
tation to Phoebe, the nearest rail
road point, will be encountered wher
the main working tunnel now being
run encounters the vein.
