A description of all the tr.lnr-s embraced within It would bo perilously per-ilously lengthy, and yet tho story of performances that havo brought them Into prominence Is one of tho most Instructive In-structive In the story of mining. Some of the Mines. The Comet, located near Frisco, home of the Horn Silver company's mines, that havo been productive of dividends , aggregating more than Jo, 000,000, and adjoining tho C:n tuw group, lb one of the most valuable of tho company's Utah holdings, and while its resources havo been drawn upon but lightly, they havo afforded some of the richest ore of which that region is productive That tho zono upon which the New house Interests In-terests are strewn extends into the territory ter-ritory covered by tho Comet is tho positive assurance of every expert mining min-ing man who has had occasion to In-fjulro In-fjulro Into it. From tho occurrence of its ores to their composition tn the characteristicsare identical. Shipments that have been made at long intervals from this source testify to the presence of 2S per cent copper, eighty-eight ounces In silver and J9.00 gold per ton, and while the great percentage of ores opened up In Comet ground are of mill ing quality, as are they In the Cactus adjoining, not a little or that class whose metallic contents have been quoted have been forwarded to the smelter. William A. Farlsh, the distinguished mining authority, upon whose recommendation recom-mendation the great Homestake mine was purchased by J. B. Haggln and his associates, after It had been repeatedly discredited by adverse reports, and who has had an experience of well-nigh a lifetime in the diggings of all countries, says of the mine: Mr. Farish's Commendations. "The Comet mine, which is an extension exten-sion of tho Cactus mines and on tho same vein, has been developed sufficiently suffi-ciently to eliminate all doubt If thr-r ehould bt any. In tho minds of the most Fkeptlcal as regards Ita irrent value. Ae far as developed, the grade of the ore compares favorably with that of its neighbor, the Cactus, which has been dcvi lopc-il to a depth of 600 feet and in which millions of tons of ore are I'ln. k'd "in. Tho sizr ( tho oi. body Is equally as large, w hile, as stated, the grade of the ore at the same stage of development is fully equal to that of the Cactus " R. N. Dickman, an engineer of equal prominence, in concluding his report upon the Comet says: "There should be no hesitation in proceeding with the development de-velopment of tho ground on a large scale. The equipment of tho Comet is ample and well suited to its purposes, and also to all immediate future demand:?." de-mand:?." Tho testimony from those technical which la equally well assured la tho Impei lal jrroup. adjoining tho groat Horn Silver mine, with their record of over M0,000,000. In this group is embraced em-braced no fewer than forty locations, tho mineral resources of which have been tapped by a tunnel sent Into the great mineral-bearing zone, and through which its ores will ibid their most economical outlet. Already demonstrated dem-onstrated la the fact that within the Imperial's confines ure ore bodies as large, perhaps, as any in the State of Utah. Of this oro not a little has been shipped to local smelters, tho settlements settle-ments upon which have shown from ?2 to 'i0 gold, from 5 to 60 ounces sliver and from S to 32 per cent copper. This ore was extracted as it occurred in the course of development, and from it the investor may derive his own average. As in the Comet and Newhouse territory terri-tory a milling ore preponderates in Imperial Im-perial ground, and with facilities for its reduction will be made a source of steady revenue. Regarding this group upon which the rays wore also fixed by him, William A. Farlsh, In a report submitted to the company said; "I found a mineral belt approximately 1000 feet In width. In which occurs numerous nume-rous veins running In all directions. The surface showing on the property Is seldom equalled in any part of the country" The findings by Mr. Farlsh need 6eek no further verification than that accorded them by miners without number who have prospected the same region. Indeed, It may be said without ftar whatever of contradiction that the Cactus Is one upon which the copper consumer may rely In future for a very large percentage of his requirements. It Is also ready to begin the active production pro-duction of ore as soon as the company shall have hoisted its signal Great Is the Montreal. Another In the Nevada-Utah company's com-pany's cluster of Utah acquisitions Is the Montreal group, situated out of Milford, Beaver county, and which towers above that mineral-bearing zone with the strength of a Gibraltar. That it la a mountain of copper ore. containing silver and gold is the testimony, testi-mony, not only, of every expert who has tt-tuek a pick Into It, but the testimony of a number of smelters to whom its output has been sent for reduction. Under a prior ownership ores were dispatched dis-patched from the Montreal to the smelter smel-ter at Oolconda. Nov., that showed over 30 per cent copper, with good values In silver and gopj. The development of a single year tinder the new company should enable It, according to expert findings, to produce at least ''-'0 tons dally, every pound of it of smelting quality, every ton of It affording a well-defined well-defined mine. It Is estimated that the ore throughout will maintain an average ave-rage of 5 per cent copper without reference ref-erence to other contents. This group has been sought by many investors seeking an ideal copper proposition and cannot be considered other than one of j the biggest assets In the new company'3 estate. Mr Farlsh, who Included this group In his examination, is quoted as follows: "The Montreal grjOUP of mines is upon a series of very large and wonderful won-derful copper-bearing veins. These viins have hot been explored to water level, the work done upon them having been confined to the surfate entirely and to upper levels As shown by the record there has been considerable ore of very high grade shipped from these mines, but the average thus far ex-po?ed ex-po?ed Is what is commonly charactcr-l( charactcr-l( d as a low crude. A great amount of this surface ore will yield profitable results. The value of this group of mines. In my opinion, can scarcely be ovcrstimatcd. for the veins are very large, varying In width from a few feet to 150 feet and for many hundreds of I feet, the outcrop belnj an iron gossan, which, ns Btated, carr!e copper ore, b'ome bunches of which arn extromely rich, thusj showing tho earmarks which have attended the surface indications ' 1 1 Boms of the largest mines now being worked in tho United States." As at the Comet and the Imperial, the Montreal may bo relied upon for a very heavy output of ore as soon as tho company shall have pr pared itself for its economic reduction. Interests at Bingham. Tn addition to the groups enumerated the company has other possessions in that portion of Utah that will no doubt be made productive with llttlo and comparatively Inexpensive development. develop-ment. The Last Chance group of mince at Bingham, another prodigious unit In the company's possessions. Is one to which that camp Is Indebted for the splendid exhibit it was permitted to make during a period antedating the active production of copper ores and before Its development as one of the earth s greatest camps of copper. As an evidence pf its productiveness there is at this lime workings extending over a distance of two miles, and while vast tonnages of ore have been sent to the smelters tho depth attained there is but little below the grass roots. Like Its neighbors, the properties of tin; United States Mining company, those of the Boston Consolidated, the Yampa and Utah Consolidated its territory was In the upper workings productive of silver, lead and gold-bearing ore, the copper replacing the lead as greater depth was attained and the horizon at w hicli copper begins to occur was reai :icd. Notwithstanding the heavy drafts which were made upon its resources re-sources in former days a large amount of milling ore remains exposed In the prop rtis of the Last Chance, while with which to reduce It Is now upon the ground a mill of 1C0 tons daily capacity. ca-pacity. That, a metamorphosis is due here, however, and that copper will predominate in future as does it in the neighboring territory there Is every-Ihlng every-Ihlng to foretell. The ledges by which Us territory Is traversed are Identical I with those from which the big com- jani-s are annually taking their dlvi-! dlvi-! dends and to make of it an equally pro-dUCtlve pro-dUCtlve source pf copper but little development de-velopment should be required. An Expert's View. Mr Parish, whose services were called Into requisition when the exam- iration of this group was being prose cuted preliminary to its ndmiislon to the holdings of the Nevada-Utah company, com-pany, says of It: "The Last Chanco Is located In Bingham canyon In lino with the great mineral belts of that celebrated cele-brated district. It has been extensively developed an shown by the maps and reports. There Is considerable ore exposed ex-posed in the different works and In my opinion very vigorous development work in a few months will place this property in a position to pro-lucn profit-table profit-table ore. Tho fact of Its having pay ore In sight and its very favorable lo a-t!on a-t!on with reference to the very large piodu'lng mines of the district makes it a very valuable asset." The Nevada Holdings.

The record to which Mr. Morrison not Infrequently Infre-quently refers in his discussion of Beaver Bea-ver county's resources, shows that unr der that franchise ho marketed ores of sensational quality, the copper, as well as the argentiferous contents equalling any that has been reduced in the alley al-ley furnaces. In the developments of a later period the history of that day has been repeated, and with a Vein of stupendous stu-pendous width tho Comet should be made ns productive as any other portion por-tion of that remarkable zone.

The Pioche Consolidated Consol-idated group, the more prominent In its Nevada system, has long been one of the more prominent and In patriarchal days one cf the most productive of that commonwealth's roster of big ones. The bullion record show's that It has been productive of ores of a value approxi- I mating $20,000,000, and yet exposed within it are yet resources of enormous value Included In this part of the company's acquisitions Is also a smelter of 300 tons daily capacity, eighteen miles of railroad and equipment of every variety, the Installation of which Incurred an expenditure of at least $1.0(10,000. The camp of Pioche, at which this group of properties is located, has sjnee the extension of tho San Pedro railway's tracks been brought within twenty-six miles of transportation, but the roadbed has been graded up to the mines, and that they will be provided with an all-rail outlet for their ores before be-fore the expiration of another year appears ap-pears to be practically assured. Prof. Maynard. who at the solicitation of Frftstern interests in tho Nevada-Utah made a mot exhaustive examination of this group of mines, says of them that I they are certainly all, if not more than has been represented. The Maynard Report. In tho report submitted by him to his clients, and in which ho acknowledges his Indebtedness to W. S.

NEVADA-UTAH MIKES AND SMELTER COIPORATION (Continued from page 11.) management that has ever been Inaugurated Inau-gurated In the United Stntes. the su -COM of which with conservative management man-agement cannot In my opinion be doubted for an instant. The enormous size of many of the veins, and deposits of ore, all of which carry ores of commercial com-mercial value insures very cheap mining. mi-ning. The further fact that tho ores of the different mines produce a mixture mix-ture which makes a smelting flux without with-out the necessity of adding any dead material gives It a great economical advantage over tho ordinary smelting proposition of the country. 1 would urgently ur-gently recommend for the consideration of the company's directors the advisability advis-ability of purchasing ore, thereby establishing es-tablishing great smelting works at or near Milford. The profits to be derived from BUOh an operation would without doubt add largely to the profits of the Company's own property. In conclusion conclu-sion I have no hesitancy In asserting that If the mineral resources of the ompany'S property are Judiciously developed de-veloped and properly equipped with a view to getting maximum results at minimum cost It will have one of tho greatest and most profitable mining Investments In-vestments that has even been developed In the United States, if not In the world." Tonnages Are Ready. That the recommendations of Mr. Farlsh will prevail and that the management man-agement w 111 begin in very short time tho equipment of its properties with such plants as are necessary to develop the results that are sought there Is no doubt. Awaiting such equipment are enormous tonnages of ore at each of tho more prominent units in the company's com-pany's domain and with means for Its reduction the earning of dividends . should soon follow. To enable it to provide this equipment and to enable It to place the various mines In a condition con-dition fur the active extraction of ores a $1,000,000 bond issue is under consideration, consid-eration, the bonds to maturo December 1, 1909. and to be convertible, at the option op-tion of the holders, Into common stock at par For this purpose shares of the par value of $1,000,000 will be retained In the treasury. That the bonds will find a ready market In whatever field they may be offered Is already assured und further financing of It Will, no doubt, be accomplished without dlfllculty whatever. In the construction of the San Pedro route through the southern country and the extension of Its rails from Frisco, this State, to N'ewhouse, a condition that formerly operated against the economical transportation of the company's com-pany's tWO systems of wealth han been overcome, and In a short time every portion of lt.s domain will have been penetrated by the horse of iron. That an extension Will be made of tho San Pedro from Callento the founders of the Nevada-Utah company have had tli assurance of (he railway company for some time, The brunch to Ploche, Indeed, will be one of, If not the very first, to be undertaken by the management manage-ment of the new route to Los Angeles as It long ago assured Itself that the revenues were there to Justify It. In the organization of a management the oflkials of the company may be relied re-lied on for the most proficient that tho field affords. Among the officials, in-1 in-1 deed, are not a few who have been actively ac-tively Identified with mining for many years and who have acquired a knowledge knowl-edge of the science that qualifies them for any duty that might devolve upon them In the future of the undertaking, Whether it be in the development of its ledges or In the operation of Its plants. Tho Investor's Opportunity. To the Investor the opportunities afforded af-forded by the Nevada-Utah Mines and Smelter corporation aro such as aro rarely held out. Certainly tho assets with Which the company has been launched eliminates any dement of risk and reduces tho proposition to one of la class that is essentially commercial. I It Is In possession of the raw material and to convert It Into gold dollars la but to call in the services of mechanic It Is confronted by no abstruse prob- lems In metallurgy. On the contrary, the furnace Is to do it all, and with an adequate battery of these a stream of wealth will positively begin to pour from Its mines It Is only at rarest intervals in-tervals that a-3 much could be conscl-. entloualy said of any undertaking whether It originate In the diggings or In channels of commerce on the shores of which latter there has been piled up so much unsightly wreckage. The rivalry ri-valry between the company by which theso vast Interests have been acquired and those who have unsuccessfully sought to acquire them Is a recommendation recommen-dation to the Investor, Indeed, and a testimonial of merit of which but few have been permitted to boast. Never, perhaps, has tho struggle for an empire of wealth been more acute and that it was inspired by possibilities as great as any that have been hold out by ma mines of Utah and Its neighboring commonwealth will have soon been emphasized em-phasized by the output from It. Tho Company's Equipment In the equipment of tho properties to secure the most economical means for reduction of their ores nothing that has been Improvised by modern mechanlo and metallurgist will bo spared. The proposed smelter, constructed along lines commensurate with resources awaiting It will be, no doubt, one of tho most imposing in the State. As a site most advantageous in that it Is the more accessible to all the company'e resources, Milford has been commended to tho company and that It vill be adopted Is most likely In the looallty Is abundant water, It Is at that point that the railways meet, and as a depot and distributing center none along that horizon possesses so much to commend it. A site at that point would also be within easy reach of tho coal fields upon up-on which the company will naturally draw for its fuels while the Montreal group, whoso mountain of copper-bearing sulphides will be made to supply a matchless flux along with its metals, Is within stone 3 throw.
