Show HIWIfiHER ON 'CHANGE number of the mines are being fitted up with smelters, becuuse of the distance dis-tance from railroads, making It too expensive ex-pensive to send. out th ore In the native na-tive state. The older mines of T.Ttnh are replacing replac-ing the old-style machinery with the more modern, types that make a closer saving of values, and in addition' to these changes, a number of new properties prop-erties are being opened up that require complete equipments. There ure more machinery houses at this point than in some of the older established Western cities, and the completeness .f the lines is clearly demonstrated when It is shown that . orders for plants as far south as Old Mexico havo been fllied by several of the local firm.-. BIG INCREASE SHOWN IN OUTPUT OF MINES. Ore and bullion settlements for the month of October amount to $2,139.2:0, and show an increase over the previous month of about $200,000. This Is most gratifying, but it would bo a source of great satisfaction if the keeper of the records c-f the output of the precious metals from this State would get the complete it turns from this source of revenue, and let the people know exactly exact-ly the amount of cash that is coming from the product of the mines of rtuh. At no period in the history of the State has there been a time when there w.is such a uniformity of pro iuction from the various mineral districts, an! new sections are beiny added to the Producers Pro-ducers of gold, silver, lead and copper all the while. I Ore and bullion settlements yester- i day amounted to $53,300, divided as iol- lows: Silver, lead, copper i and gold ores, $3700: gold bars., $20,000; base I bullion, $29,600. With . favorable conditions from a reat many of the mining nropoeltlona, tha market on the - mining exchanga this morning was an active one, and one of the largest days of the" year was rolled up before the close of the curb session.

"There is more mining being done in the Thunder Mountain country today in a manner that will get permanent results than at any time since the discovery dis-covery of this, gold mineral seetion by the Caswell brothers," remarked one of the veteran mining men of the western country at the Keuyon hotel last night. "Some new gold ore bodies have been opened up in the Dewey mine during the summer months, and I understand that the company has given orders for the increasing of the milling capacity, owing to the increased tonnage that has been blocked out in the mine. The larger plant will be installed next summer, sum-mer, and I have no doubt that this will prove to be the largest producer of gold in Idaho before many moons. S ince Capt. Treweek took charge of the Sunnyside property, the showing underground un-derground has Improved wonderfully, and now the management has decided to install a' reduction plant, which will be the means of placing this property on a paying basis. The greatest relief tat can come to this Isolated camp is the building of a railway, and the Unpiesslou is that Roosevelt will be tapped by a line at 110 distant date. This would injure the future of that mining country, and I oelieve a tonneg? sufficiently large to guarantee a good return to the railway company will be developed by the time another season rolls around." RUMOR OF DIFFERENCE ! IN THE UTAH COMPANY, j Child, Cola ft Co., Brokers, j !o0 Atlas block. Both 'phones 325. j j From the East the story comes to us j that Manager Jackling and Col. Wall have had a tilt over the policy that is being pursued In the operating of the Utah Copper company, and that the Guggenhelms have sided with 'Col. Wall, and that he will not only have a voice in the directing of the development develop-ment of the ground, but will also have a larger holding in- the companv. Neither Nei-ther the Colonel nor Mr. Jackling is aware of any such differences apparently, appar-ently, and that there is to be any change In the management of the affairs af-fairs of the company is also news to them. Manager Jackling further states that there has been no interruption of the construction work on the new reduction re-duction plant at Garfield beach during the period that the injunction was in force, and, that development work at the mine has gone along as rapidly as possible. The property Is in a most excellent condition, and with the differences being be-ing all settled, the Eastern investors would do well to inform themselves on the true conditions at the mine and mill before run off with some of the tips sent out from unreliable sources. LUWiH JUUa.JB.U'lH 15 SHIPPING GOOD ORE. Manager John Dern of the Lower . Mammoth mine is back from an inspection inspec-tion of the property in the Tintic district dis-trict and is very much gratified with ijie showing that has been made in the drift off the 1500-foot level. The drive in the lower workings has been extended extend-ed a distance of 200 feet, the entire distance dis-tance being almost entirely In the ledge matter, and during the last few days in the face of the drift there has been exposed a considerable tonnage of snipping ore from which the company can derive a good margin after all charges have been deducted. There is xow being loaded at the mine a con-moment con-moment of this ore which will be followed fol-lowed by ether shipments as fast as the stuff can be hoisted, and as there is no sorting, a considerable amount of the rock will be sent out as long as the grade of the ore continues good. At the Uncle Sam Con. Mr- Dern found the conditions improving all the while and besides a good volume of high-grade ore coming from the upraise from the 500-foot level.' there is considerable consid-erable of the both milling and the flrst-'i;rade flrst-'i;rade metal coming from the winze off this and the 300-foot level. During the past month, the Uncle Sam has made :he best record for any month during t:ie year, p.nd the prospects that 2t dividend divi-dend will be forthcoming at the regular monthly meeting of the directors, on November 8, are indeed bright. the assays on the ore now being exposed ex-posed show that the company will realize about $125 per ton. There is considerable work being done on the properties of that district at the present time, and winter supplies have been laid in. so that the season's campaign will doubtless get lcsults that will be gratifying to all who are Interested in that region.

The mine are tespond- , ing to the efforts of the expert with a tonnage of precious metal far In, ex- 1 ess of the expectations of the . most sanguine. Idaho, too, is developing a great many low-grade propositions that require an expensive equipment, Including Includ-ing a large reduction plant, while a INSPECTS RED ELEPHANT IN WOOD RIVER SECTION. Windsor V. Ii!ct? has returned from an inspection of the Red Elephant m'.ne In the Wood River, Ida., country, in which he Is associated ith Wr. W. Armstrong of this city and Eastern men. Mr. Rice- says he found the property in excellent condition, with work In connecting up the ore channel chan-nel between the 50 Oand 600-levels being hurried along. With the completion of this development, the company ill again resume the forwarding of ore to the local market not later than the middle of January, and returns from ORE SHIPMENTS.
