ready l to fulllll thlB end of the agreement AGREED TO DISAGREE The movement on foot for a consolidation consoli-dation of working interests for the purpose of opening up one producing property was signalled as 0 failure Just at the time when it was found that instead of one property satisfactorily satisfac-torily coming to the front with a big 1 I mineral showing there were four Independent In-dependent claims blossomed out J1 one t II wock I all Of which arc sufficient to1 I more than equal what one might have I done by consolidation They are tho Little Dot being worked under bond and lease by Cripple Creek parties in I I charge Byron Davis the Corjpo Queen of the International company being worked by Provo capitalists In charge of Bert King tho cross vein I in the Mineral Mountain tunnel in charge of John McMahan and the starting of work on the Corsair property prop-erty by L Antics and G R Propper the owners All these properties arc considered now as payproducers and while they might carry the expense of n large wagonhaul to Cisco on tho Rio Grande Western railway they ouh net a fair profit If we had railway rail-way facilities There are at least n I dozen other properties in this immediate imme-diate vicinity such as the Goldnn Sceptcv Green Mountain High Ore Sunrise Grand View Tip Top Gold Coin Gopher Indiana Blue Bird King and Iowa all within the slope of Mineral Min-eral mountain which with very little worlc could be made to add considerably consider-ably to the output of ore from Miners Basin alone THE M M T STRIKE I Tbe vein cut in the Mineral Mountain Moun-tain tunnel is fully twenty feet wide the ore body throughout averaging about 12 per cent copper and from 1 to SG iu gold WIll some silver The tunnel is now in 325 feet and the vein icccntly crosscut is blind on the surface sur-face tapped at a vertical depth of 1GO feet Mr McMahan one of the own ers states that they will continue on with the tunnel to a depth of 500 feet when they expect to cut the contact where big results are expected u desirable a party of Cripple Creek miners mi-ners have the privilege of 3 lease on the cross vein which in all probability will be worked by drifts both ways on the vein veinJINE FLUORINE ORE Byron Davis in charge of the Little Dot property is taking out considerable consider-able highgrade silver ore some of which runs as high n 400 in silver and a good per cent of gold I is a fluorine ore and produces some very I attractive specimens the crystals of which are of the amethyst cast They I are getting ready to put up good substantial I sub-stantial buildings and will bo prepared pre-pared to work constantly In the future fu-ture The Little Dot is situated In what Is known a Bachelor basin in the heart of Mineral mountain through which the Mineral Mountain Tunnel is directed to run and will tap this big vein at n depth of 300 feet in and at a vertical depth of 1000 feet PROVO PEOPLE IN IT I The Provo people who have so liberally liber-ally ventured their capital In the In t ternatlonal Mining company owning the famous Copper Queen can now rest cagy for future remuneration Bert King who recently threw down the Mormon missionary tract for reining has put a crook Into the tunnel and has struck a large body of fine sulphide ore running high In gold and copper values The tunnel going In from the Beaver Basin side Of the range into Pilot mountain hqs reached a depth of j 100 feet finding their ore body at a I vertical depth of aboijt 400 feet I Is not definitely known whether the present pres-ent mineral showing is In the Copper Queen vein but ns they have been In mineral for over forty feet it Is possible possi-ble they1 will yet find ore that compares com-pares with the surface of the Queen vein They are also booked as ready to ship all the ore they can get down the mountain had we railway facilities facili-ties tcsWORK WORK ON THE CORSAIR Preparations are being made by the owner of the Corsair property to start substantial development work on or aiojt the 1st of August The Corsair vein ipade Its discovery of a twelve foot vein of chloride Ot last fall and from an eighteenfoot cut across the velntook out about ten tons of assorted assort-ed ore that has a value of from 45 to 50 In gold and copper A shaft Is to be sunk fifty feet deep following the mineral down when a tunnel will be started for the purpose of greater depth There Is no question as to the value of this property a a ready shipper ship-per and now is the time to develop It Into a mine There is a chain of valuable properties on this contact which cuts the formation from southeast south-east to northwofit and everywhere it has been openedgood values are found and n large vein is exposed ALL ARE WORKING There is no gush or boom anywhere about the L Sal country All arc steadily at work developing their properties prop-erties and in every Instance are rewarded re-warded with general improvement Occasionally n 1 speculator drifts In this way takes a look at the properties and then vanishes New discoveries arc reported every day from some source and thp latest L 1 that sylvanltc has been discovered near the Mazcppa properties at the head of Beaver Basin Ba-sin The Colorado Tunnel company at the head of Mill creek are steadily pushing work on their project but do noi expect to accomplish much In the way of finding anything until they have rcache1 n depth of 1000 feet when they will have reached the porphyry por-phyry belt at the bead of Miners Ba siD and where tho Corsair contact crosses the saddle In the mountain VISITING MINING MEN A gentleman by the name of Pope claiming to be from the Tintic district recently came here and Is now going over the ocuntry Ho seems

here In the In terest of the Woods Investment company com-pany of Victor and Colorado Springs capital and was highly pleased with the formation of tho country but hay ing been sidetracked at Thompson Springs and compelled to take the Moab route into the country Instead of coming in via Cisco he naturally g vclt up as n bad Job so naturly 1 transportation facilities are concerned and as a consequence dismissed all in ul terest In this section for the prcsnt time Bccton A party of St Louis mining investors jre expected in here every cfay to In vcstlgito some properties presented to thorn through their agent In Denver They aro cominff prepared to omlnS prarred accept a proposition on the Iowa group of prop I erties and to work them for an Inter I est on a developing basis I permissible I wish to slate for the benellt of parties contemplating a I visit to this country that by all means n for cqmfort convenience and tho good I of the country they should I leave he I railroad at Cisco Instead of Thompson Springs thereby coming by n direct route to the La Sal mountains at the I same time avoiding a disgusting and disagreeable trip over a desert to Mo I I a 1 where they are Just au far away I from I the main range iH they would be 1 at Cisco The Cisco route Is by I for J the shortest and most convenient and the loute is own the Grind River valley where some life Jind vegetable substance is tolC seen outside of a varied and Interesting route for scenery scen-ery A direct stage line IKrun l dally from Cisco to MIncrs33asln fortho accommodation ac-commodation o people and the dlH talncc Is only thirtyeight miles while v Il the Moib route It is something over sixtytwo miles a source of disgust dis-gust and a black eye to the La Sal country G n P |
