Former Service Men Were Served At Bsaquet Zuma Operations Confined To 800 and 875 Levels For the first time In many months shares of the Swansea Mining company were traded in, during the week, on the Salt Lake exchange. The activity probably resulted from the report to the effect that. work was to be resumed at this mine under the direction of the Tlntle Millreport was ing company. Such circulated early In the week but Inquiry at the office of the milling company Indicates that no preparations have been mad to reopen the Swansea mine although soma sampling has been done during the past few weeks. The milling company has been short of sulphide ores for some time and efforts are being made to locate ore of this particular kind- - It Is barely possible that the upper levels of the old Swansea contain Just the kind of ore that the mill needs but sampling operations have been carried on only to a depth of 200 feet as the shaft timbers are in bad shape as the natural result of several years of Inactivity. Theodore P. Holt of the Tlntle Milling company says that the plant Is now treating about 160 tons of ore dally, which Is considerably under capacity. The mill officials are scouting around in an effort to Increase shipments to the plant and are la position to offer special inducements to the mines of Tlntle that are In position to ship low grade ores, carrying silver, gold and . copper. -- o Directors of the Zuma Mining Co. held a meeting in this city on Wednesday at which time they decided upon another assessment of cr.e cent a share, which is necessary in ordor that the campaign of development may be continued. Manager P. J. Fennell states that work la now being carried on in two places. Drifting toward the southeast from the bottom of the 7 j foo. winze was started some time ago and is being carried forward under very promising conditions, tbeiw being a nice streak of ore on tha; level. The drift Is being sent out beneath the workings which curried some ore on the 800 level and Mr. Fennell believes that there Is an excellent chance of developing a good ore body. On the 800 level work Is being continued, the drift being sent out toward the south. A short time ago the Zuma people retimbered and repaired a cection of their main' shaft and Bupt. Nebe-ker- s report indicates that tlie property was never In better condition. Vast Amount Of Copper Now Stored In The U. S. An optimistic attitude in regard to the future of the copper mining industry Is taken by Ronald A. Fraser, In an article In the Nevada Mining Press. Concerning the outlook for copper, Mr. Fraser states the fol- . The banquet, served on Thursday evening of last week for the former service men of this district, was one Brokers Should Encourage ; Trading In Unlisted Issues the of the most pleasant affairs In history of the city, about 226 of the young men attending. The musical numbers rendered at the banquet were as follows: Vocal duet by Messrs. Tan cock and O'Hara, vocal solo by Mrs. J. M. George, vocal solo by Thomas Tancock and vocal solo by J. Fred Johnson. R. D. Gardner acted as toastmaster and the address of welcome to the service men was by Mrs. J. A. Murphy, the chairman of the committee having charge of the entertainment, the response being by Claude Dennis, president of the local post of the American Legion. Other speakers were: Edward Sutherland, Dennis Theriault, Claude F. Baker, Darrel Gardner and David MUls, the last mentioned having the presentation of the state certificates which are to be given to those who served during the war, no matter In what branch of the service. A vote of thanks Is extended to all who assisted In making the fair such a splendid success. Everyone who was solicited responded and among the ladles who were most active In preparing and serving the banquet were: Mrs. Brohm, Mrs. borne, Mrs. P.. J.

Havenor, pioneer trader on the Salt Lake stock exchange and e consistent booster for the Tlntle properties, Intends to keep In dose touch with the unlisted stocks of our district He says: There IS much uncertainty regarding the ' market values of ' unlisted stocks. Esst Tlntle has s lot of them and as Tintic Is about the only camp we have In the state, In r spect to number of shippers and live prospects, I would like to see the unlisted Issues established on a better trading basis. I look for the East Tlntle section to make new history for the old rdlable camp during the coming year. Brokers ought to pay more attention to unlisted Issues so that owners of these shares who are forced to sell will know rather definitely what they can realise, and those who want to buy will know what others are paying for the stocks, pretty much as In the ease with listed securities. -- ee-tu- al . e Harris Assault Cass Is Postponed By Agreement both 0- , tho prosecuBy request of tion and defense, the trial of Mrs. Alice Harris and her son, Leland Harris, charged with assault with a deadly weapon upon Deputy Sheriff J.

It is generally understood that there is a large amount of copper now on hand In this country, which wa are able to dispose of hut slowly. One authority states that should production wholly stop, the copper stocks cm hand In the United States would he sufficient to supply the market for the next year and a half. As a result of price and market conditions many of the larger copper mines in the United States are now operating j vlth greatly reduced forces, others shut down entirely. The gen-o- n j being vral public, or at least that portion of It whose knowledge of copper and cbpper mining la confined to occasional Items In the press, knows that copper waa an important metal during the war, bnt believes, now that tha war is over, the present weak market Is due to over production. Such Is the case, bnt only temporarily, however. Copper has become one of our most Important metals. E. R.

Rapid Progress Is Made In New Shaft Contractors crew now making seven and eight feet a day and job will be finished within next ten days. Unusually rapid progresa la now being made with the sinking of the No. 2 shaft for the Chief Coacoli-djlo- d company. This Job haa bean bandied throughout by Walter Fitch, Jr., local mining contractor, and when completed will be one of the largest and beat shafts In the west, being the first mine shaft In this rtate to be. concrete lined from top to bottom. Inquiry at the contractors offlea last night brought out the Information that the ahaft Is now going down at the rate of seven or eight feet a day and that work waa being carried on at a depth of 1867.2 feet. This means that tha shaft will reach its objective point, which Is the permanent water level, within the next ten days, although there will be a hundred feet or more In the bottom which is yet to he lined with concrete. It Is understood that tha Chief Cons, people are planning an extensive campaign of prospecting In that part of their ground which can he reached moat easily from this new shaft. Plutus Co.

It was on the 1000 level that the first ore wsa encountered In the Plutus and acting on ths theory that large deposits of commercial ore would be found at greater depth bnt very little prospecting was done st the point where values were first discovered, hut while awaiting the completion of the No. 2 shaft considerable attention wHI be paid to the 1000. With the new shaft down to the water level the prospecting of the Plutus will he simplified and made much more Inexpensive. It is understood that tha shaft work will ha finished this month.
