Show THE benefits to be derived by deep mining are again illustrated in the case of the war eagle con mining company of silver city idaho in november 1899 the company be gan the driving of what is known as the sinker tunnel the objective point being the famous chariot ledge which was so prolific of mineral wealth near the surface overcoming many this tunnel has finally reached the coveted point and a few days ago uncovered a five foot ledge of pay gold ore that is in place with every indication of permanency the tunnel is feet in length and cuts the ledge 2200 feet below the collar of the working shaft thus virtually blocking out millions op tons of gold ore that can be handled at a handsome profit the completion of this tunnel adds many years to the life of the camp and to the mine besides which it means hundreds of thousands of dollars to the stockholders of the company the management of which had the good judgment and nerve to forum late and carry out this gigantic undertaking THE mae blowing in of million dollar smelter has caused but passing comment in mining and metallurgical circles throughout this intermountain country and principally because this is the day of magnificent enterprises and mammoth undertakings A million in the abstract seems but little but in reality it is a big sum to put into a single enterprise ter prise and one must examine this mammoth establishment in all its details and in its to f ully fully comprehend the full mean ing and reaching far lar results attending the erection of a million dollar plant of this description crip tion covering many acres of ground the smelter of the american smelling smelting Sm elting eltin gr refining company with its numerous departments is worthy of a careful and painstaking visit in its construction it presents something more than cold hard dollars as it represents also the very best talent in engineering and metallurgical lines the best thought skill skill and brains of any array army of engineers metallurgists architects and machinery builders and is so far in advance of reduction works of even a quarter of a century ago that no comparison can really be made it is the triumph of smelter construction of the age 1 and for this reason adds prestige and glory to the mining minina and milling 7 industry of utah and of this intermountain region it is a feather in the cap of the smelting smelling sm elting company and the mining review hopes that it will prove a blessing and a help to the mine own ers of utah and adjoining states IT is high 1 time that governor wells mayor thompson the commercial club and the mining stock exchange made their ap point ments of delegates to the international mining congress which will hold its next session in butte beginning 11 september first this promises to be the most interesting session of the congress 0 yet held and the appointment of delegates from utah should not be delayed butte should prove an ideal place for the holding of a mining congress it claims to be the biggest mining camp on earth with a city above and below ground this opportunity to inspect great mines reduction works smelters shelters sm elters and mills should not be overlooked by the progressive 4 dessive thinking mining man and hundreds of them will answer to the roll call on this occasion utah appointments on the different delegations will not be controlled by salt lake institutions as the mayors of the several towns and cities throughout the state are vested with appointive power and as many mining men in our various camps would like to be numbered among representatives at this event they should find no difficulty in securing the desired appointment but these appointments should be made as early as possible and the list sent on at once to secretary irwin mahon at butte SO far this month utah mines have declared dividends aggregating the handsome sum of with other producers yet to hear from before the first f arst of august this is a splendid shower and should attract the attention of outside capital to the magnificent of our fair state and to the guilt edged opportunities offered in our various mining camps the record so far this month in the dividend paying line is especially favorable to the grand old camp of park city which contributes of the sum total above alluded to the matchless of this locality that properties have a place in the paying list being the daly west with an increased disbursement 0 of f the ontario with and the I 1 silver king with A bunch of greater bon bonanzas a azas would hard to find in any other mining re this intermountain region and the list il be added to before the completion abnot of six months the con mercur mine of me M cur has dropped into line with its 3 en monthly distribution of while utah of fish springs has joined the div d bend column again with 2000 to its bredt and it is belie believed ved that this old time wead producer will be regular in its hereafter while other mines of note through out the state will doubtless resume divided divide ii payments in the near future |
