From all reports Cherry Creek, Nevada, is haring the most comforting kind of boom that could be desired. The directors of the Utah Mine ol Fish Springs met last week, and posted the usual dividend of three cents a share, or $3,000. The establishment and successful operation of the new Utah smeJtes near Ogden has given great Impeti to subsidiary industries. A rich find of high-gradgalena and tin has been made in the Black mountain region on the waters of Upper Wind rlverrin Wyoming. A new lsw in Utah now is that mining companies must have on hand emergency medicines, stretchers and such things for injured men. to-Sa- lt e The spur track to the Montgomery Shoshone mine has been completed and, the . shipment ot -- the... $1,000, to the Salt Lake smeltera has begun. Henry R. Merton and company, of London, estimate the production of copper throughout the world In 1906 at 711,675 tons, against 682,125 In 1905, and 664,000 the year before. The treasury department on the 12th purchased 200,000 ounces of silver at 66,062 cents per fine ounce; 100 ounces to go to San Francisco and the remainder to New Orleans. Jack Leggett, one of the prominent and successful mine operators of Butte, Montana, is now in Boston for a conference with eastern stockholders of the Raven and Butte and Ely mining companies. The men employed at the Ontario mine at Park City went on strike on the 11th, because of the attempted enforcement of a new rale which requires them to enter and leave the mine on their own time. The entire capital stock of the New-houMines and Smelters company has just been added to the unlisted department Of the New York stock The company's March exchange. output of rsflned copper was 960,000 pounds. The spring report of the committee of ftie Rhyolite Board of Trade'showa the mining Industry of the Lee district to be booming in a surprising manner.

The new company has a. capital of $100,000 In a million shares of 10 c4ts each. Ore shipments from Park City for the week aggregated 2,513,840 pounds, as follows: 828,000 Daly Judge, pounds; Middlings, 535,000; Stiver King, 841,840; Daly West, 800,000; Ontario, 209.000; Daly. 100,000; New York 48,000; Jtotal, 2,513.840. Is occasioned by Much excitement the report of a rich strike at Mlzpah, Nevada. Ore has been found at the surface which runs as high as $7,000 to the ton in gold, silver and copper This ore carries as high aa 1,900 ounces In silver to the ton. Sooner than one thinks, smelters will be operated In Alaska, and then the world will again be astonished by the new from there. As It is now, the ore mnst be taken to Everett or Tacoma, 1200 miles by sea and 300 by railroad, a distance of 1500 miles. It has just developed that In addition to the 100,000 shares of new Balaklala stock recently offered to stockholders at $10 per share and underwritten at 914 through Haden, Stone Co., 25,000 shares were also issued to them at the same price. ' The directors of the 8waa-Hllde- r Mining company met In Sprlngvllle last week and raised the price of the treasury stock 5 cents. The advance Is the result of the recent strike on the o claim in Nevada, which fc known In that state as Mormon Boy. The Brilliant shaft of the Kly Consolidated company at Ely, Nevada, Is now being pounded down through ore that is averaging 3 per cent cop per. The shaft Is over 475 feet deep and every foot- of the distance from t mark has shown copper the values ranging from 1 to as high as 14 per cent. A11 of the miners employed in the McDonald-Elmine, at Ely, Nevada, have struck for higher wages, and their demands havet been refused by the management of the mine. There ia a remote possibility that a general strike, affecting the entire district, may be called to enfored the demands of these miners, but this Is mot considered likely. During the first quarter of the current year the record high prices for copper have resulted la the payment of $21,097,354 In dividends by twenty five companies which are directly Interested In mining or are large shareholders la the United States end Mexico.
