At thr Sioux iVusolulatovl t ho oam-pun oam-pun of dovolopmont work, taken up some weoka :i;o, to looHte the nortboru oxtoasiou of tho Iron lilossom oopper deposit, is still Koin$ on, aeoordu.R to Mrtuajjor V.

Tins win-'c was down about twelve teet oaily iu the week whoa the ;ump which supplies the Sioux, Iron Hlessom, Colorado and other properties with water wa-ter was broken, causing k shutdown at ths Sioux. A small doukov oncino will bo installed at this wiuzo' to taoilituto sinkniif. , Considerable ore is now finding its way to tho smolter from both the (..rand Central and tho Gold Chain mines, and they have not beeu forced to reduce their shipments because of tho oversupply of ore at the various smelting plants. V. D. Loose, who is iu charge of operations at both mines, savs that an unnortnnt change has taken place on the JLt0 level' of the Cirand Contral aud that a much better bet-ter sjrade of copper ore is coming from that part of the mine. The jitiippin product which is beiiij; taken from tlis level carries from G to 7 per cent in tho red metal, and the deposit is of liberal dimensions. Vhilo considerable attention is being paid to tho mining of copper ore at the Grand Central, ore carrying values in gold, silver aud lead are taken from various levels of the mine. At the Gold Chain development work is going on. Pr o m the Lower Mam-m Mam-m o t h s 1 5 00 level, w here a drift w as sent over into the Gold Chain mine several years ago, some good ore is being be-ing mined. A winze has been, sunk loO foot and it is understood a drift from rhe 1S00 level of the Gold Chain is contemplated. con-templated. Connection with the ore body could, it is expected, bo made with almoin 300 feet of work. C. F. Sherwood, metallurgist, under whose direction the new null for the Prince Consolidated at Bullion ville is beiu constructed, says he has been making flotation tests on somo of the Tintic ores, and that he is convinced that this process of milliner is adapted to the treatment of ores from this district. dis-trict. The work which Mr. Sherwood is doing in this dist riet may possibly result in the construction of another milling plant in which the flotation process will be used. James B. Allen and M. J. McGill of Salt Lake were in Eureka this week inspecting tho Deprezin ground adjoining adjoin-ing the Centennial Kureka mine, on which thev have an option. Before his departure Mr. Allen said work is to bo taken up, in the near future, on this ground, and that when the development of the claims is started start-ed it will be backed up bv sufficient capital to carry the work through successfully. suc-cessfully. Machinery secured from one of the Park City mines in which they are interested in-terested is at Salt Lake and" will be shipped to Tintic and used on the De-prerdn De-prerdn property. The Deprezin property, known as the Golden Kav, consists of about a dozen patented claims, which adjoin the Centennial Cen-tennial Eureka on the west. Pome development de-velopment work has already been done on tnis ground, which was at one time under option to the United States Mining Min-ing company, owners of tho Centennial Eureka. |
