Show 6 INTER-MOUNTAI- It. Culbertson of Spokane. These gentlemen are very conservative mining men, and have Invested largely In the camp, and have undoubtedly secured the best developed properties now in that section. They have a force of men at work crosscutting for the vein on both properties, and as soon as the ore is reached they will have enough additional ore in sight to justify the erection of a large mill, which will be built this summer. The mill will be equipped with pans and settlers, and will save all the values in the ore. The Ozark Mining and Milling company also have a force on the Ozark property, and have ordered a five-stamill. They are now getting out timbers at the saw-mi- ll for this plant. Several other properties are working a number of men, taking out rich ore, and a number of deals are on the tapis, whereby claims may be transferred to mp strong companies. A word or more about the veins. They have a trend generally north 70 degrees east and a dip from 85 to 50 de- grees south. The ore is in chutes that dip to the east approximately on the same degree as the dip of the vein. The chutes or chimneys of ore, as a rule, are not over 100 feet in length, but have been found to be very numerous. Suit. The proceedings in District Judge Ritchies court during the week have been of great interest to mining men, as much expert testimony has been introduced by the Marion side of the Geyser-Mario- n apex suit. This testimony tended to show that the apex of the vein passed through the end lines and was wholly within the side lines of the Marion location, although, owing to faults or displacements along the strike, occurring after mineralization, the apex formed an Irregular line. The witnesses testified that the strike was northwest and southeast and the dip northeast, the vein being four to fifteen feet thick, with lime footwall and porphyry hanging wall. The Marion contention was illustrated by a glass model, showing the topography of the country, the course of the vein and the underground workings. The testimony to be introduced by the Geyser will be of great interest, as the attempt will be made to show that the apex, strike and dip are not at all as the Marion experts described them. It is not known at this writing whether there will be any denial of extra-laterrights to the Camp Floyd vein, as had been expected, it being claimed that the Geyser is estopped by its pleadings from setting up any such denial. If this point is not raised, one of the most Important points will be left undecided. It is quite certain that the testimony presented has furnished to some owners of Camp Floyd property food for deep meditation. Geyser-Mario- n al Mining men laughed when the Utah Guano company filed placer locations on the guano deposits on Gunnison and Hat islands, in the Great Salt Lake, but these locations have Just been sustained by the land office, as against the protest of the Southern Pacific. The only question raised, however, was whether the land was within the limits of the railroad grant, the land office deciding that it was not. MINING REVIEW N treasurer; E. T. Wooley, secretary.
