GOOD NEWS RECEIVED PROM CAMP IN NEVADA. WJ11 J. Lawrencels In. receipt of some very interesting Information from the properties In the Irish mountain district, "out from Iiyto. in Which he became in- - terested several week ago. Associated with him are some of Utah's best min- - Ing talent. When Mr. Lawrence left the . camp two weeks ago there had not been any development work done on the i claims in that region, but since his de-. de-. parture some energetic prospecting has been done by several of the companies that were Jtormed to operate down there, and the results have been very satlsfac- ' t0In the Illinois group, wblcb Jolna the ' six claims held by' Mr. Lawrence, some good assays have been made from a - ledge that was encountered close to the surface that show high values In silver, lead and copper. Not enough work has - leen done -to determine the amount of -mineral that the ore will be productive of However, the district is favorably located lo-cated and Is easily gotten into, while the Commissioners ot Lincoln county bar mad aa appropriation for u bet- I terment of the. road, which will give the operators a chance to get their ore to the I market at a small cost and the supplies i they need can be delivered to the mines I very cheaply. The prdspects for some good producers to be developed along I that range of mountains is very encouraging encour-aging and within the next sixty days i some wonderful changes In the condition of affairs down In that new country are confidently expected by those who have been on the ground. PLANS TO CONSTRUCT ! MILL IN WEST TINTIC. ' At a point fourteen miles from Jericho Jeri-cho on the Salt Lake Route a proposition proposi-tion Is being considered by some Eastern East-ern parties to erect a mill with a capacity ca-pacity of sixty tons dally. The properties proper-ties that are to furnish the ore are located lo-cated In what is known as the West Tin-tic Tin-tic mining district and In the early days were, productive of a great quantity of first-class ore. which made some of the pioneers rich In spite of the fact that the mineral had to be transported by means of the ox carts. The entire district has been held by some of the men that had little faith In the possibilities of the low-grade low-grade ore being reduced to a commercial basis and now that new interest has been awakened by the Invasion of that section sec-tion of the country by men who were versed In modern mining methods. It is quite plausible that the o'.d-tlmers' Interests Inter-ests will be absorbed and another stretch of country will be given an opportunity to yield some of its richness that "as lain dormant for so many years. In order that capital may belntereeted in this section it will be very necessary that the present owners either consolidate' consoli-date' their properties or that a 'contract be entered into by th& various interests whereby each group is to furnish a certain cer-tain amount of rock to be milled within a prescribed time. As none of the properties prop-erties have been extensively opened up there Is at present hardly enough of the second-class stuff blocked out In any one mine to keep a large mill In operation. The building of the plant would mean the investment of probably $100,000. andl in addition, the district itself would be given a new lease of life and the values of the mining properties greatly enhanced. en-hanced. SEVIER CONSOLIDATED TO ENLARGE ITS MILL. Superintendent Henry Jones of the Sevier Se-vier Consolidated Mining company, whose possessions are located in the Gold mountain moun-tain . district, has announced the intention inten-tion of his company to enlarge Its -equipment and with this object In view he has placed an order for the enlargement enlarge-ment of the mill, which has a capacity of fifty tons of ore daily. The mine is In a condition to respond with 150 tons dally of rock which averages $16. and it Is .thought that the management will have the new plant In shape to handle the full capacity of the mine Within the next six weeks. A new discovery of rock that averages $7.60 per ton was made Just before Mr. Jones' departure from the mine In cross-cutting from the No. 5 level, and It Is the opinion of the superintendent super-intendent that the ore body on which they are now upraising will extend to the surface. sur-face. ; The owners are very much encouraged with the prospects of the mine and believe be-lieve that In a brief period they will have the property opened up so that It can be forwarding a large tonnage of this gold-bearing gold-bearing rock to the market, leaving them a nice margin for the treasury from which they will ultimately be able to draw down dividends for years to come. Of the conditions In other properties In that southern section, Mr. Jones reports everything looking' very encouraging, with the output from several of the big properties materially increasing and the likelihood of dividend-payers entering the list during the summer season. GOLDFIELD COUNTRY " SHIPPING MUCH ORE r j Some idea as to the amount' of ore that is being sent out from the Gold-field Gold-field country can be gleaned from the following account given by the Gold-field Gold-field Review: "The week's shipments of ores from the Columbia sampler exceeded by a large tonnage the shipments of last week and brought many thousands of dollars into the camp. Among the principal prin-cipal shippers were the Quartzlte, the Florence, the ReJIly lease on" the Florence, Flor-ence, the Desert Rose Nos. 1 and 2, the January, and several smaller leases. Approximately the shipments amounted amount-ed to $75,000. The shipments for the present month promise to be exceedingly exceed-ingly heavy, larger than any month since the shutting down of the Jumbo and January leases, and a guess at the total can be safely put at $200,000.
