These and other 1mproc-ments 1mproc-ments promise to render the setison at the new camp of copper one of hourly lncrcaslt.tr acti Itv. Home of the Bonanza. The year's record at Park "lty was one of undiminished luster. Fmm bonanzas, bo-nanzas, of their category unrlv;U !. stupendous Volume of silver and lead, with not a little gold, and some copper, has continued to pour, while from its chambers have Issued dividends amounting to no less than $2,344 000 In addition to the campaign of produ Hon during the year and during which many millions were added to the wealth of the Nation, there w;is unprecedented activity In new territory, the older companies com-panies as well as the youngsters participating par-ticipating in It and1 with results that d not n few millions to the resources re-sources of the enduring camp While the management of the Silver King has uniformly declined to exploit the dls-. dls-. Insures that have been made In that empire of wealth at short Intervals. It Is not unknown to many that during the year it ha9 added enormously to its stock of wealth, and while the new work at the Daly West hns not been characterized by results so dazzling, they have be?n none the less important. In the franchise acquired by it from the Ontario company during the year, and under which the latter' S long tuu-rel tuu-rel Is being advanced to Daly West ledges, the company, perhaps, contributed contrib-uted the main feature to the year's record rec-ord at the cainp. The stretch of country coun-try through which It Is now forging Its way presents as many possibilities. Indeed; In-deed; as any of the camp's unexplored domain, nor Is it unlikely that new-channels new-channels of ore shall be opened up as the long avenue advances At the Ontario operations have continued con-tinued steadily, andi, with the erection of a new mill better adapted to the requirements re-quirements of its ores, the earnings from that source Will no doubt be materially ma-terially Increased if It is not mado possible pos-sible to restore It to its old position among the dividend payers, while at the Daly the management has been prospecting pros-pecting that portion ef the Qulmy ledge WniCIl CUIS BUTJM HW lUMIUUUt nnu ores of excellent quality In the upper workings Is now- driving to tap It from lalow. In this channel it promises to repeat some of the history of Conner d.i B during which It dealt out divl- i IdendS approximating the J3.000.000 point. Some New Producers. Perhaps the most Instructive cliapter in the record of 1&04 however. Is that which has been supplied by the younger generation. The more prominent of these has been the Kearns-Kelth. that has attained a position among the fixtures' fix-tures' of the great camp and from which dividends will begin to pour the present season. In a short time Its ore bodies have been systematically opened up, It has been equipped with a mill, ns have the neighbors, and is rapidly piling pil-ing up profits. Another In the category of youngsters, although It has been under systematic development fur -eral years, Is the American Flag, that began the active production of ores of excellent quality during the year, as did the New York Bonanza. An equally equal-ly energetic campaign of development has been prosecuted by a troop of other . .ii nicst -(;.-. I'pon them many thousands thou-sands of dollars have been expended, and that a cluster of these WlU begin to add to the output of the great camp the present year is now reasonably well as.sured. Indeed, there has never been a year In this enduring camp in which so much exploratory work was done, and while the number of youngsters to begin the reimbursement of those Whose pluck and purse hrie made their development devel-opment possible is easily enumerated, there Is much to indicate the appearance appear-ance of others in the column before the passing of many moons With these developments de-velopments well in hand and considerable consider-able new work projected the year at the camp of bonanzas promises to be a very busy one, with fine results at a number of new openings The Record at Tintic. Into the lap of a grateful commonwealth common-wealth Tintic continued to toss Its wealth during the year, and while its dividends did not flow as freely as have they at a former period, tn- equn.iinu has been bestowed on work that, to the shareholder, means Infinitely more The result with which operations were prosecuted pros-ecuted In this camp In 1004. are more Impressive when viewed underground, Indeed, than are they above, although Its dividends for the year amounted to aearlj S'O.OOO, these independent of remittances re-mittances that were placed to the credit of th" United States company's dividend divi-dend fund M the Centennlal-Eureka and of which distribution will be made ater day. Dismissing, momentarily, the chapter of significant disclosures that h ive characterized the year's re-tearchee re-tearchee at the centennial, the moat Instructive In-structive development which appears In the record of the past twelve months ;it Tirttio Is. perhaps, that mad-? by the management of the Mammoth at a d pth of 2100 feet below the surface and u hi. 1 ;.M'..r.l a lesson on longevity tii.it must add to the future possibilities Of every property In the old camp. As foretold by several who have made a study of the region, the ores at this depth have maintained their strength, while their metallic contents are quite up to the average Over at th Oemlr.l a clinic on depth Is al to be found, tho "format lor' there having been fathomed to depths even greater than thor attained at the Mammoth, and while the composition nf the ores dir-fera dir-fera from that of the latter, the condition condi-tion Is, perhaps, even more gratifying. An Exhibition of Strength. At the Centennial a lesson lias been tmiu upon the "strength" cf TinUCS or bodies at depth that is without a parallel In camp, and while that bonanza, bo-nanza, has been productive of dividends amounting to nearly $3,000,000, Its physical phy-sical condition w;is never to he com-pared com-pared With that presented by It at this time From the clustor of camps In the district which has been mined for nearly forty years, and which has yet to betray the first sign of decadence, there was received at tho valley furnaces fur-naces during the vear. as much as 300.000 tons of on and while the record Is a commanding on it Is far from that of which It l capable. Derived from It was silver and gold, copper and lead, the whole having a valuation of about 17,000,000 thl deduction on the price of the metals In thp lor.-il market and not the "coinage" alue to which the nssayer of tho mint Insists upon adhering To this splendid monument reared by the miners of Tintic to tho memory of another anniversary of thrift, many contributed. The more prominent In tho list was the Centen-nlal-Eureka, tho Gemini, which has during tho year presented Its share- hohlers with dividend (u,oiiTitin 1o $150,000, with another 160,000 to bo pad around tho present month, ii,. iir lulling the second place in the column, with the Grand Central at the third place. The old Beck, with the aid of the lessee, was a frequent visitor to tho smelters, notwithstanding its absence ab-sence from the dividend column, while the Mammoth recovered as the season idiva) I and began the distribution of bread money.

Tho strike In th properties of the May Day company was among the more Important that were made In territory ter-ritory along Godiva mountain, while Uncle Pain, equipped With means with which to reduce Its milling ores, found it possible to get back Into tho list from which the blessing ot 1004 flowed There were others to contribute to the results upon which the year closed at iintlo andi thatj promise to respond mor gc-nerouply the present year, and that 1&05 will close upon results evan prouder than those that hav o characterized charac-terized tho past year there Is every aa-eu aa-eu ranee. Resurrection of Alta. Tho year at Alta, loftiest of Utah's conclave of camps, closed upon a chart w hich tells of greater activity and moro nubstantl.il results than any that have-been have-been achieved up th-re since a period that was distinguished by the old Emma and Flagstaff nines, with their record of millions, while certainly a foundation has been created for results lnimltely greater. Tho most Instructive chapter in tha chronology oX the year Is that which tells of Its equipment with means thnt ar enabling it to recover re-cover the wealth not only of the hlgh-grade hlgh-grade ores, but which are making It possible for the producer to derive commercial com-mercial results from' ores of hitherto Indifferent value. In the achievement of this the i "ontlnental-Alta and the Columbus Con. havo led tho column. At each of these a mill has been constructed con-structed and from each a concentrate derived Crom ores that had been long a dormant aswet Is b Ing taken To their energetic founders! Is the camp Indebted for a transformation In which tho tallow tal-low candle has been replaced by the electric bulb, tho wagon by the aerial tramway, the h;ind drill by the bur-leigh. bur-leigh. and the steam plant by the dy-r.amo. dy-r.amo. The wealth of ledges long Stagnant Stag-nant has been awakened, territory which hfLS been rwrmlttcd to Iumtor for many years hfis been amused, and to the future tho camp protnlKea a support sup-port that thrill increase as developments develop-ments prog.. Led the Procession. At this time the moro prominent m" tho camp's undertakings aro tho Continental Conti-nental and ColumbuH, each of which la coming to market v. 1th ores of good quality, and yet the itory of tholr evolution evo-lution Is that which Is at present being woven by neighboring properties that promise as mu h with corresponding endeavor. At the Kennebec a great deal of exertion and ot sinew has been expended, as has there been at the properties of tho Alta-Qulucy, and at each of which good results havo been recorded notwlttutafullng tiicit ab- "nro yrt from the market, whll at the South Columbus the founders are persevering per-severing In a manner that should place It among tho producers of the present ear. The reappearance of tho old Emma Em-ma and FlagBtaR In tho field of activity ac-tivity affords almost If not quite positive posi-tive assuranco hat the wealth of two more old-timers will be added to the output of the present -ar. while Just over the hill is the Pittsburg;, of the future fu-ture productiveness of which there Is no doubt whatever. The campaign of development work has been done by the management of the Albion, and in which a tunnel has been driven into the zone for a distance ot over 2000 feet to connect with known ore bodies, entitles It to all that awaits It, while others aro prosecuting their researches in a manner man-ner which foretells their early addition to tho camp's array of producers-Rio producers-Rio Orando to Enter. That the Denver & Rio Grando railway rail-way win extend its active operations Into Alta tho present season Is now almost al-most positively assured- It would have done so the previous year, no doubt, hut for Interventions that were not to be overcome Certainly the condition of the . anip Justlries It, and recognizing this, tho undertaking will be among tho first to se ure tho company's attention tho present, season. With this outlet tho welfare of tho camp must bo Immeasurably Im-measurably promoted, w hile there is no doubt of revenues that await tho coming com-ing of the branch. In the search for ur. . s of v. e-ilth during tho year no field In this State has been more popular during the year than has this one, and big developments should follow fol-low in a short time. Season at Stockton. Tho results achieved at Stockton during dur-ing the year afford a realization, no doubt, even greater than those to whom It Is Indebted for Its regeneration looked forward. The reclamation of its long-submerged long-submerged oro bodies, in which work the Western Exploration comriany ho shown Itself a Colossus, and tho reopening re-opening of channels from which tho miner was excluded for bo long a period, and which was the fundamental stroko In a campaign of resurrection, has been followed by achievements aa glittering as any that embellish the story of UM In tho diggings of the State. The driving of a tunnel that has now undermined the metal-laden zone for a distance- of 7000 feet by the Hon-erine Hon-erine Mining company and under tho management of Wlllard F. Snyder, has been, Indeed, one of tho stupendous achievements of recent years. It has been the means of redeeming a camp, and that It shall be made as productive as any In the State in a short time is an asseveration that has been shared In by the most expert authorities Since the unwaterlng of the ledges at Stockton, Stock-ton, Indeed, there hits been no more active ac-tive arena In the diggings of the State. Of this, emphasis Is abundant In the new mill erected by the llonerlne Mining Mi-ning company, the extension of Its tracks by the San Pedro Railway company com-pany to meet the requirements of the camp, and the equipment of its Interests Inter-ests with the most modern accessories. The results with which the management manage-ment of the llonerlne has labored have been among the most Important of those that were recorded during the year, and while over $1,000,000 has been expended by It In the task, the wealth Of ore that has rewarded Us matchless courage Is such as to fully compensate every Interest While the greater portion por-tion of tho burden has been borne by this company the neighbors have not shirked, and to the splendid consummation consum-mation many of them have contributed, their compensation in tho unwaterlng of their flooded resources and the economical eco-nomical outlet that shnll be provided for their ores through tho long tunnel. In tho benefits to bo derived from It will participate tho Black Diamond, the Bullion, the Galena King, tho Hon-erlne Hon-erlne West and several others, while the Interests of all In the locality must be Indirectly promoted. Wealth to Increase, With which the mines of Stockton camo to market prior to this transformation transfor-mation the wealth of metal was smaiL Since that time there has been a gradual grad-ual increase, and the present year should witness its restoration to a place among the most productive of Utah's mining camps From the prop-ertles prop-ertles of the Ilonerine. thoso of tho Black Diamond and those of the Galena Ga-lena King Is already coming, Indeed, a considerable volume of ore, although they havo neither of them begun any active stoplng. while the output of tho present year will be tremendously Increased In-creased In addition to the system of ledges through which the tunnel passes thero oro others In tho camp that were at one period the most prominent In tho State. Some of these are now being developed de-veloped with good results, the Stockton Mining company having provided Itself with a mill during the year and marketed mar-keted a small amount of first-class ore Throughout the old camp has Hhowu much Improvement. Ophir Is Aroused. To elixirs Identical with those employed em-ployed In tho rejuvenation of other camps that had been permitted to go to seed after the demonetization of one of the metals of which they were productive, pro-ductive, has the slumbering wealth of Old ' ph!r responded. When Hon. W A. Clark, Senator from Montana, sought It as a field in which to add t his munificent mu-nificent income. Ophir. notwithstanding tho riches of which she had been pro ductive, was practically dead. Tho only remnant of life was that which drew his attention to the camp. It shone f 1 1 mi the windows of tho Ophir Hill Mining company that had refused to down. Of this property tho Senator from the northern neighbor who had contributed to tho world some of Its moiit productive properties, took hold. It wns equipped with a now and more modern mill. To that equipment It began be-gan to respond, and with the success achieved by the master-miner from tho north the redlvlvus of tho old camp began. be-gan. Tho next figure of prominence to :-.-ek It w is that of the Western Exploration Ex-ploration company, its foothold the old Stanton group, and then the old Buok-h.iiii Buok-h.iiii that had eontrlhu ted so much to the wealth of the West. It wns not long until the riches of this territory began to unfold themselves, and to the ..nit;ut of the Clark properties is being added that of tho former. It was about I tils time that others who bad aoulred, Interests there In earlier days made their reappearance on the scene, and at I this tlmo the old camp of Ophir prom- I Ises to reproduce Hc brightest pages II H from Its history. In the same locality ore tho mines of Dry canyon, home of the old Mono group, at a period in the story of mining in tho State, ono of Its most prominent and ono of Its most productive objects. In this locality tho season closed on considerable activity, and that It will largely Increase the output tho present year the bodies of ore now exposed In tho Buckhorn and ' lark properties afford plenty -of as- I suranco, In the same region many opportunities op-portunities are awaiting development, and that several will be added to the list of producers tho present yjar is most likely. Mercur's Flow of Gold. While the mires of Mercur were not as proliflo of dividends as In former 1 years, operations at tie two leading propertlc-3 were continuous andi to tho world's supply of gold was added by the.m approximately three quarters of a million dollars. Through the cruahera of the big plant with which the Consol- I ldated Mercur has made it possible to distribute dividends amounting to $3,-635.000. $3,-635.000. there has passed about 240,000 I of gold-bearing rock and while the auriferous contents were not as pro-rounced pro-rounced as in palmier days, the management man-agement by the observance of the most I economical methods not only maintained main-tained a surplus but supplied the means With which to pronecute an unusual amount of exploratory work with results re-sults that were far from Indifferent and that Justify the various Interests in looking forward to incread earnings the present season. At the Sacramento tho output of quicksilver woS continued. I the re-torts with which the proposition is equipped, responding with over 700 j flasks of that clement for which the company received over $20,000. More fortunate than thosw of the neighboring company the shareholders of tho Sacramento Sacra-mento were permitted! to draw down dh Mends amounting to $20,000, anl that they will be resumed) the present month I is quite likely.

In which not a little ore was exposed through an avenue extended from Sacramento groundv has under consideration the ercetlon of a mill which will be under-taken under-taken unless an arrangement is con-eaimmated con-eaimmated with one of the neighbors for tho reduction of Its output. At the old r-Marlon nines that were among the first to reveal the wealth of the gold camp, an effort to make the further re- duction of tho largo tonnage of tailings profitable was Inaugurated by a com- t pany, of which CoL T. C. WIswall is the resident representative, tnS that the crude ores will follow the success of the original undertaking is very probable. Other than these operations the camp of gold, at one time the scene of much excitement, haj been the arena of but few. The West Dip, lr.to which so much wealth was placed! several years ago, has been permitted to languish throughout the year. At Sunshlr.e, the eldor camp's vl-a- vis on the utb, an effort to regenerate the Overland was inaugurated In September, Sep-tember, and while the results have not been conclusive the management con-tlnucs con-tlnucs with Its commendable untlerta-king untlerta-king and with many assurances that substantial results ore feasible. Certainly Cer-tainly In E. W. Clarke the company has secured the services of an able miner, on able nrctallurglst, and In the event of his success at the Overland an effort will undoubtedly be made to reclaim the old Sunshine, which latter at ono period In the career of those diggings enjoyed a prorrdrienco equal to any in therm .

At the Newhouse mines, formerly the i , Cactus group of which the Frenchman French-man made a failure because of his lim ited knowledge rf metallurgy, a change has been wrought inoro dazzling and more astonishing In lis spontaneity, than any of recent years ln the history of the- West. At Its vis a vis the great Horn Sliver, with Its $3,000,000 dividend record, the production of wealth has progressed as in recent years, the company com-pany passing around JSO.OOO among its shareholders In la'4 and reserving a surplus with Which to Inaugurate the new. The equipment of the properties by the Messrs Peck with a plant with which to begin the commercialisation of Its xlnc ores and zinc tailings lias bt n one of the notable acquisitions of the year in the region, and in the event of its success there Is no doubt of its Introduction in others in which this metal occurs. At the properties of the Majestic Mining company, rescued during dur-ing the year from predicaments that threatened to completely overcome them, newt work haw been, prosecuted! with tho most gratifying results, while the Imperial is to be reorganlied ln a short lime by the Nevada-Utah to the assets of which company it has Just been added. That it shall bo made a most productive one Is now positively assured, a large amount of ore similar to that in the Newhouse properties having already been exposed, while some of it sold on the lo al market testified to the presence of the most sensational percentages of copper. Adjoining Ad-joining it are the Blackbird mines, the conditions at Which are identical with those In the Cactus group, while along the same great copper-ben ring r.one are others that must ultimately figure In the Increased production of the State. The event of the new year In that locality will be, of course, the Starting up of the huge concentrator constructed by the Newhouse company and the active reduction of the zinc product of the Horn Silver. About the old camp of Shauntle there hm IV'.'M an effort to revive operations during the year as was there at neighboring neigh-boring camps along a horizon that was productive of much wealth in former years.

Whllo the receipts of ore from the Deep Creek region In 1M4 were confined practically to those forw arded by I lie Utah mine of Fish Springs, the season there was one of not a little activity and with results at several points thai afford most positive evidence of the merits of its multifarious lodges.

At the many prospects throughout the region the usual development work was done while the owners waited on the arrival of the long promised railroad, ond to encourage its construction are not a few substantial additions to tho camp's former resources In no portion por-tion of the West, Indeed, do so many opportunities await the miner and In-.

Down In the southern country in the diggings of which the Dixlo group of mines and the fumacew operated by the Utah and Eastern Mining company are the more prominent objects, tho season has been one of steady production although al-though the management has made no attempt to operate other than along the most conservative lines, nor will It depart from that policy until certain work that shall simplify the extraction of the ores.

Around the La Sals.

The rapid recovery of the copper market and the emu irons luwiles of cctpper-boaring ore of which the Big Indian group Is pro- dvictlvo places It n-mong the great possibilities pos-sibilities of the hour. That it.s resources have remained dormant for so long Is nr doubt due to the languor of the copper cop-per market during the greater Mtlon of the previous1 year.
