"A Miner" writiog from Stockton on the ceremonies attending the n Lining of Jacobs city, iu Dry canyon, last week, adds the following; While these hours were thus passing away, Jacobs & Co's furnace had turned out, in seventeen hours, 6 tons of' bullion, worth $225 per ton in silver, sil-ver, some eight per cent, of gold, and sixty-eight per cent, cf lead; a furnace that has no superior anywhere. Your readers have hitherto had full accounts of this beautiful machine, but they outrht to come to Stockton to see iu ; daily labors, and the money it is coining coin-ing for its enterprising owners. With an abundant supply of ore from the Kearearge, the Fourth of July and other mines, it will, the moment the second furnace is in operation, turn out daily eight tons of bullion, and next ppring, when a narrow guage railroad is finished across the valley from the head of Salt Lake along the mouths of Dry canyon, East canyon, Ophir, and so od, to the coal beds of Sanpete, this investment of Jacobs & Co. will be one of the most lucrative and beneficial in Utah. Making the trip by steamer across Salt Lake, eighty miles, then a narrow gauge to Sanpete, eighty more, will furnish 160 miles of the cheapest transportation in this Territory, and will grasp within its iron arms the rich est valleys and mines of the west. All tnis is within the plans and speculations specula-tions of commodore Jacobs, and his wealthy backers, Leisenring, Lilley, &o., and we wish them God speed. |
