This is particularly true of the Lost Packer, in the Loon creek region, Trhere there has been a smelter established this year, and the erection of a large and profitable enterprise is now lonjr past the experimental stage. W. II. Slinacher and H. G. Bowditch, Palt Lakers who have been operating the Security property in the Silver City region, in conjunction -with Samuel Newhouse, hafe encountered on the upper up-per levels of their Security mine some exceedingly rich territory. "On the fifty-foot fifty-foot level there is an eighteen-incn streak that carries $15,000 to the ton in gold and silver. The Security adjoins the- Golden Chariot -which - is -credited locally with having produced $6,000,000. A large amount of development work has been done on the Security, the owners own-ers say; but owing to the approach of winter weather further operations until un-til spring have been closed on this property. prop-erty. Other companies, however, are continuing, among these being the Trade Dollar, which is working 250 men and paying dividends at the rate of $180,000 a year. The Potosi and - several others are going through the next six months and expect to accomplish much development, and therefore the expectation is I that next year the.Silyer City region will be rejoicing in possession of several other producers. . . . .

The 'Western Pacific Pa-cific railroad is entering the vicinity of the property, and when it affords shipping facilities it is altogether probable prob-able that the mine will be in position to immediately commence to send ore to the market. : - j, I NEW STOCKTON. STBIKE? V 'When two months "ago there came reports : that a biz strike had been made En the New Stockton mine, near Stockton, Utah, the officers of the corporation cor-poration entered strong denial that anything - unusual : had . happened - to pleaae the stockholders, and it has remained re-mained for developments to prove the value of the aforesaid strike before there could be secured any admissions from the fortunate management . that it has a splendid showing. . . While running -an- upraise from.. the 850-foot level on a fissure of the Katharine Katha-rine vein an ore shoot was struck which has been increasing in-size very rapidly as the miners drove their way into it. Thursday this 'new .ore body was six feet in width, and so rapidly has-it widened that it was -not less than -ten feet. Assays show. 25.4 ounces silver and 49.1 per cent lead up to 32 ounces silver and 52.5 per cent lead.

Becent assays show that the ore runs about $80 per ton. The ore can be mined and shipped to the Garfield Gar-field smelters for $30 per ton. General Manager John Treweek of the Sunnyside property, in -Thunder Mountain district, has the ore body opened up for a length of 600 feet, with the workings still in ore. The deposit has also been opened and proven on its dip to a depth of 450 feet and its thickness thick-ness has been shown to be from twenty-five twenty-five to thirty-feet. Most of the equipment equip-ment for the milling plant has been taken in, "and it is expected to be " in operation by the last of January next. NEW JEBSEY SMELTER. A telegram from Boston says: It has been, decided by the Guggenheims to build a smelting and refining plant at Perth Amboy, N. J., to handle the Nip-issing Nip-issing and other Cobalt ores. ' In the meantime the high-grade Co bait ores are being shipped to the New Jersey smelter of the American Smelting Smelt-ing and Befining company and the first and second class ore are being shipped to the Balbaoh smelter. The -ores are of such a refractory, nature that it is necessary that they be handled in a smelting plan devoted exclusively to their treatment. The Cobalt .bonanza which has been sent down from the bottom of tunnel No. 2,' and which has been in pay rock ore all the way. Four and one-half feet of this ore body assays as-says $13,000 per ton, values being at the rate of one ounce of gold to every 100 ounces of silver. . -- The crosscut tunnel has struck the same ledge 200 feet below the point attained at-tained by the winze, and 'the reports from Fairview are to the effect that the door of this tunnel is locked, and only rumors tell of what its treasures are. Statements at Fairview. are, however, how-ever, to the effect that the yield from the newer and lower workings is being postponed until the arrival of the railroad rail-road at Fallon forty miles distant and that when shipments can be inaugurated inau-gurated to that point, the Nevada Hills will begin to- make new and permanent shipping record of wonderful merit. , MINERS GO TO ELY. A force of miners was shipped from Salt Lake to Ely yesterday by the Ely Resurrection company, under engagement engage-ment for an entire six months work, and will upon arrival at their destination be immediately employed by General Manager' Man-ager' A.

In their precipitation, precipita-tion, it is therefore believed by the officers offi-cers of the Ely Besurrection company, a large quantity of the red metal must have , been disseminated immediately contiguous to the blowout and in fact it may prove to be the most thoroughly thorough-ly impregnated copper zone of all the Elv territory. Jesident George B. Raymond of the companv, under any circumstances, says that this is his and also the theory of many other qualified mining men who have examined the property. Mr. Eay-mond Eay-mond having gotten the work on the ledge started, left today for New York and Boston, where arrangements are being be-ing made for disposing of all the treasury treas-ury stock of the company at the rate of $1 per share.

It now takes ten days to handle one carload of ore. Work on the new smelter will be started at once. WOBK IN DEEP CHEEK. The commencement of 'operations at the estate of the Western Utah Copper eompany, formerly known as the Gold Hill mine, in the Deep Creek region, is announced from the. local headquarters. The program has been decided since the return of J. H. McChrystal, expert in the employ of the Bingham Consolidated Consolidat-ed eompany, who has' made a thorough examination of the Western Utah's holdings as well as of the entire Deep Creek district. In his report he says: "A feature of conditions at tbe'Gold Hill property which should be appreciated appre-ciated . is the fact that the mineral showing is strongest - at the deepest point in the workings, while no property prop-erty in the State, and I have examined most of them, has better geological characteristics at the surface. The property has alreadv exposed large quantities of ore which will yield a good profit, besides considerable quan.-tities quan.-tities of very rich ore. I have no hesitancy hesi-tancy in saying that it will develop into one of the big mines of Utah." The mine has now been developed to a depth of 450 feet in ore all the way through tunnel and winzes. Average values aeterminea or regulation regu-lation sampling during the development of the mine shows, that the ore averages aver-ages 5 to 6 per cent copper, five ounces silver and about $4.50 in gold per ton. There has never been a sample taken that did- not show $2 per ton . in gold, while some portions of the property show sensational values in the yellow metal. ' - , The Western Utah Copper company owns three groups of claims, embracing a tremendous acreage. Twenty claims have been patented and development work , is now being particularly confined con-fined to the Gold Hill group. Aside from this mineral ground- the company owns a ranch of 360 aeres with a water supply sufficient, it is believed, to meet the milling needs of the entire district for some time to eome. W. S. MeCornick is president of the eompany; Duncan MacYichie, vice-president; vice-president; H. H. Green, secretary and treasurer: these with F. Aug. Seinze, E. L. White of Boston, Harry N. Sweet of Boston, and Judge John A. Street of Salt Lake, forming the directorate. copper property in ine west, i-ia men already engaged in the copper mining business. RICH OBE AT EXMBEBLY. According to the statements of stockholders stock-holders returning from inspections of the .Sevier Consolidated mine at Kimberly, Kim-berly, the new ore body that was disclosed dis-closed recently and reported as being rich, is a shoot that came almost to the surface. It has widened as depth was gained until it is now thirty feet across and has been opened for a length of eighty feet. The entire mass is described de-scribed as having an average value of $20 per ton, and frequently spots of the ore carry as high as $3000 per ton in gold and silver, the yellow metal content, con-tent, however, predominating. The preparations for extracting this ore include in-clude extension of a tunnel that . will tap it at sixty feet depth, and while this is in progress shipments are being made from the top of the shoot. Other parts of the property where ore had been previously found, are also sending out liberal consignments.

Into the same locality also the Clark road is expected to make an extension next summer. It has been lack of shipping facilities only that has retarded , the Deep Creek region these many years. DUQWAT DEVELOPMENT. " The Dugwsy Utah) Copper company, com-pany, composed of Salt Lake people, is fast developing a big copper mine, and the officials naturallv are greatly pleased over the outlook. The management manage-ment has driven to the 200-foot level of the mine, and considerable drifting has been 'done upon the vein at this depth. The last ninety-f onr f ee"t upon this drift hps been inore of an average aver-age value of 7 per cent copper. The vein continues, to gather strength and value as it is explored. . This vein is the same encountered some time ago on the 100-foot level, OCHS SECXTBES LEASE. William Ochs of Salt Lake has secured se-cured a bond and lease on the Best ford group, at Virginia Dale, San Bernardino Bernar-dino county, CaL, where he operated mines twenty-two years ago .when the conditions were, however, less propitious for operations than now. The Bost-f Bost-f ord group is one of tne best properties in that section. It has been worked for twelve years by . the owner and was never offered for sale before. About 1200 feet of work has been done at different dif-ferent points on the properties and a fine showing of gold and eopper ore is in sight, the bodies being lars-e and regular. reg-ular. Mr. Oebe has thoroughly sampled the properties. The mill tests on 1500 pounds of samples showed a recovery of $28.35 per ton in gold on the plates. ieSaSBBBSMBeSBBBSaSBBBBaBB EEPOBTS OF PEOQEESS.
