Show FINE DISPLAY OF NEVADA ORE J. V. Brooks Claims to Havo a Great Property Near Freiburg, Nevada. 1 AS fine a display of ore samploft as one would wish to sec, both on account of their size and the variety va-riety and richness of their contents, con-tents, Is bolng. shown by J. V. Brooks of Freiburg, Nov., at the office of B. T, Lloyd"" in the D. F. "Walker building. These ores were taken from a group of sixteen claims, the property of Mr. Brooks, and which he has held and developed de-veloped for the past flvo yeara. The ground is locuted in the northwest part of Lincoln county, Homo sixty mllca from Callcntcs and to tho north of Freiburg Frei-burg postofllce. Mr. Brooks's mission to Salt Lake is to interest capital In assisting him to erect reduction works and a smelter for treating these ores. The locality cov-ored cov-ored by theso claims, says Mr. Brooks, Is highly mineralized and the veins aro well defined, tho oro making on con-taota con-taota with lime, porphyry, granlto and quartz encasing tho veins. Tho extent of the mineralized country coun-try is measured by about two and a half miles each way, and tho mineral-bearing mineral-bearing veins are so frequent as' to require re-quire and justify development work on each of the sixteen claims and upon four of them two shafts have been sunk. Mr. Brooks clnlms good values has been found on every one of the claims. The development work has consisted of shafts entirely, the deepest of which has reached a depth of 120 feet. The showings include tho four prevailings metals, gold, silver, copper and lead, and they present themselves In wonderful variety and richness. A ten-pound specimen of quarts showing gold to the naked eye was taken tak-en from a four-foot ledge. Then there Is galena approaching the chemically pure stuff and carrying silver values to the extent of several hundred ounces to tho ton. The copper specimens come from a forty-two Inch vein and Include both carbonates and oxides that carry from 40 to 60 per cent of the red metal, with reasonable values In silver and gold. Then there are sliver chlorides and sand carbonates whose appearance indicates more than ordinary wealth, and these are Bupplomented with crys-tallzed crys-tallzed lead carrying silver In liberal quantities. Mr. Brooks states that there is an abundance of water and an almost Inexhaustible In-exhaustible supply of timber for fuel In the neighborhood of his holdings, and he Is confident that in these grounds are the contents when developed and treated to materially Increase the mine products of that already famous county. Review of Tintic-v The Tlntic Miner In reviewing' its district dis-trict for the week says: Jesse Knight was lh town Monday for a few hours. Mr. Knight stated that It is his intention to consolidate tho La Relno and tho Bullion-Beck tunnel as soon as the present La Relne assessment Is paid in and the company's Indebtedness, which amounts to $2500 Is discharged. Ho believes that the big ledge hi which the cave occurs In the tunnel will be productive of good ore below, and Is satisfied that it Is the Bame ledge on which La Roine was preparing to sink when ho purchased the control of the mine. Mr. Knight and tho few other shareholders In the Salvator, Sal-vator, an adjoining claim, divided $2000 of surplus earning Saturday, the result of a couple of month's work by leasers. Mr. Knight left Tuesday for his new mining venture in Nevada, sixty miles west of Frisco, Utah. The new hoist for the Tetro arrived Monday,- and Is now being set at the top of the shaft In the tunnel. Until It Is working, no ore can be taken out. TVe understand that the shaft will be dropped down now, and tho ore body proven up at depth- Six cars havo been shipped during April, from which the company realized $5000. The Eureka Hill will commence hoisting hoist-ing ore tomorrow, and on Sunday morning morn-ing the once familiar roar of (he mill will lbe heard again. The force at the mine and mill will be Increased by the addition of about fifty men. Beaver County Notes, The following Beaver county mining news is taken from the Mllford Times: An old land mark of the Star district was moved to town this week by Angus An-gus Buchanan. It was the cabin built by Hays Cook, tho famous prospector, nearly thirty years ago, and In which he lived for eo many years. The Beacon is being put in shape for the extraction of ore and some fine copper has already been taken out for shipment. It is the Intention to sink the shaft and extend the working to a point underneath thl oro body, so that tho work can bo carried on more expeditiously. ex-peditiously. D. S. Taegart of kthe Orecon Short Line freight department came down, last Saturday to visit the Black Rock mine, in which he is Interested. He, found conditions most encouraging and It is likely that some important development de-velopment work will be done on thin property during tho present season. Foreman Boll of the Honrlchson property, near Copper Gulch, passed through Sunday night on his Way to Salt Lake. He states that a lot of fine ore has been taken out from the recent strike, but It'lll not be Bhlpped until tho railroad extension la completed around to Newhouse. The ore Is mostly most-ly galena, somo of it carrying 75 por cent lead. If J. T. McAulay and C. T. Martin get much oro of tho same grade aB that recently taken from their Pino Grovo mine and sent to Salt Lake to be tested their fortunes are made. This Bample showed tho prcsenco of 1480 ounces of silver to the ton. Ore. of this grade is scattered through the vein In kldnoys, tho balance of the vein being of a profltablo grade. There Is even' Indication Indi-cation that thl3 mine will bo a winner. win-ner. J. TV. Mctcalf of Scofield, who has been working the McKlnloy group In tho Granite ranee, camo to town last Sunday with somo rich samples from a vein that has Just been opened on that property. Tho croup consists of nino claims, located at the hoad of Ranch canyon. Mr. Mctcalf and his associates, A. H. and H. H. Earll of Scofield, have owned tho ground for flvo years, but tho claim upon which tho strike was made was-located last January. They startod to sink on tho vein, but It pinched a few feet below the surface. Now, at a depth pf thirty feet, It has come In good and strong and there aro three feet of fine quartz, some of which shows free gold, and which assays $30 In gold, 15 per cent copper, 30 ounces, silver and 5 per cent lead. The vein is a contact between grnnito and lime and can be traced for a loner distance. Mr. Metcalf left for his homo at Scofield, Sco-field, where'he will make arrangements for the further development of tho property. It la the Intention to install a whim and sink an incllno on tho vein. Boston Copper Market. Special to Tho Tribune. BOSTON. Mass., April 30. Absolutely nothing doing In copper Btocks today.

Word has been received from the Eastern officials of the, Shawmut company com-pany that they will not be here beforo the 15 of May. Anticipating their arrivals ar-rivals this week, tho Shawmut property hatf been unwatered and put In order for Inspection. Superintendent Dar-renogue. Dar-renogue. acting on the postponement, has suspended pumping. Bingham Bulletin. A consignment of Utah Copper company com-pany concentrates marketed this week contained 40 per cent copper, $10 gold and five ounces silver per ton, according accord-ing to mill assays reported by Superintendent Superin-tendent Janney. The Utah appears to be on the list with the very few mines In the world that have not had their resources overestimated. Its ore has steadily Improved In value, until tho average product is now decidedly better bet-ter than was thought it would be. That tho company will soon make a move to greatly Increase Its operations there can be no doubt. Bingham Bulletin. |
