Shipments from the Bull valley district in Utah are to begin at once. Up to the present time the locators havi simply sacked their ore and left It on the ground, but now they are going to throw it on the market. At the Bear Top mine, in the Coeur dAIenes, at a depth of 1,000 feet in a 1,600 tunnel, four feet of solid galena feet, has been followed for thirty-fiv- e and every foots advance shows that the shoot is growing larger and riches. A syndicate composed of Jesse Knight and associates has bought a controlling block of stock in the Old Emma mine at Alta. Associated with them will be the stockholders who have been developing the mine since last August The Goldfield News shows that during the week ending May 15 the camp produced 2,072 tons of ore valued at $143,280. For the week ending May 22, the mines of the district produced tons of ore, the value of which 2,439 was $211,537.50. The Cumberland-Elproperty in the Ely, Nevada, camp has been under development a little over a year and a naif and in that time its Veteran ore body has been opened and 3,000,000 tons of ore placed in sight that will average 3 per cent The discovery of an old Mexican mine near Florence, Nevada, recently, Is another evidence of the richness of that district. There are forty-twInches of ore in place at the end of a t tunnel, estimated from pannings to be worth at least $00 per ton. Immense bodies of fluxing ores, just the kind to mix with the silica rock from the Goldfield district, are lying almost dormant in the districts of Ubehebe, Palmetto and Sylvanla, awaiting only cheap transportation to give the section a first position by leaps and bounds, says the Goldfield Tribune. At Wardner, Idaho, the recent opening of the Last Chance mine has put new life into the camp, and the famous Wardner lode has been doing some remarkably interesting stunts In the way of new ore development during the past few months that puts the stamp of permanency on the Coeur dAIenes. The officials of the United State Smelting, Refining and Mining company were made glad last week by the receipt of the first carload of structural steel for the new roasters. The company has ordered about 290,000 pounds of this steel, and the first received is that which goes into the foundation. For the past quarter of a century Butte has supplied 25 per cent of the world's copper, and whether or not its values are Inexhaustible, it Is demonstrating right now that the old reliable camp is Just aB rich ns ever and la producing ore in a way that must be gratifying to those who have banked their all on that camp.
