Show I UHEMAjf I . I- ITS DUMPS Believed Thej' Can Be Made to Yield Handsome Revenue. H MAY HASTEN DIVIDENDS Likely to Adopt Plans Used by Recent Successful Leasers. IR. Sutton, superintendent of Ibo Utah mino at Fisli Springs, who is in tho city at present, in speaking oil the fnture of that property mentions espc-, espc-, cially the handling of tho dumps -which I have accumulated during theso many 3-ears tho mine has boon producing. Prom the success mot by Messrs. Vanderoff and Swicegootl in their recent re-cent operations of tho Utuh dumps, tho companv feels that by installing the narao method of handling a larger tou-nago tou-nago and using practically tho samo process it can inalco tho dumps a source of much revcriuo. It -will be necessary to tesb -dumps thoroughly and find tho best portions to handle. By discarding tho larger and, coarser material tho finer screenings should jig very readily. "While the Utah mino oro has been a'high-gnido shipping product, considerable second-class oro remains on various levels m tho mine which can be mined, crushed and reduced to shipping ship-ping oro at small cost by this process of Hand nigs. Tho quality of the oro itself makes this very feasible. The initial cost of installation of jigs is also ery small. Tho water for making this plan available is to bo socurod by hoisting hoist-ing from the mine. There is a possi-JiiPity possi-JiiPity that this will bring tho Utah mine back into tho dividend column, or at loast prolong the lifo of this wonderful wonder-ful little producer. Tho Fish Springs district as a whole offers wonderful possibilities from a mining standpoint. Its remoteness from a. railrond has been its greatest drawback, draw-back, but tho quality of oro producod overcomes oven this obstacle, Mr. Sutton reports an improvement in tho property, which is now looking better than -for somo time. Tho ore which the mine is shipping at. this timo just about pays espouses. Tho directors direct-ors of tho company wcro in session in this city yeHtorday attending to routine business. J. Collhurst of the Carnation group at Fish Springs will havo a carload of high-grade load-silver ore on tho market in tho near future. It. is being hauled to Wendover on the Western Pacific Tail road bv auto truck. This truck lino should help that section of western Utah in many ways. |
