Wilson and associates asso-ciates will now revive the Mooney, by clearing out the old drifts retimbering and installing machinery, and expect to have the mine in condition for production pro-duction next spring. Another Beaver county deal is pending pend-ing in Salt Lake, but the details are withheld by Constable James Russell and Deputy Constable Jack Spaulding of Goldfield, Nev., who came all the way from the Nevada metropolis to close up. The claims involved are said to lie near the Burning Moscow property. prop-erty. i WISCONSIN COMPANY CLAIMS. The Nevada Superior Gold Mining companv, having headquarters In Superior, Supe-rior, Wis., has five claims in the Crescent Cres-cent district. Two are about half a mile to the south of the camp, and three others are about one mile north of the old Legal Ttender mine, near the divide. The company was organized by G. W. Huntington, who is general manager. The other officers are: President, Judge W. E. Healey: secretary, B. J. Thomas: treasurer, A. L. Thomas, all residents of Superior, W is. Mr. Huntington was in camp last week arranging for the commencement of work on the company's property and advertising for bids for sinking two shafts to a depth of 100 feet each, which he expects to have finished within with-in sixty days. The work done will determine de-termine what the future action of the company will be. Hardly had the crowd of returning excursionists brushed the dust off . their clothing yesterday when rumors of deals large and. small in the Ely district began to circulate. With the railroad opened, and investigations inves-tigations by various Salt Lakers, who had not seen the district before, yet. fresh in their memories, almost every ' local operator came borne satisfied it is a place he and his friends should get into with their capital. Therefore action began almost before the local talent could all recover from the strenuous celebration in which they had been participating for two days. Everybodv had a good word to say for the district, but this was scarcely necessary, and sales of property were proceeded with regardless of minute statements of the exact location of the claims even. Eastern Capital Interested. William Waatland, who has just returned re-turned from New York, announced that he had enlisted capital of that city in a valuable Ely group, adjoining the Nevada Ne-vada Consolidated, and that arrange- rnents are being made to place it under immediate development, following the organization of the proposed company. Harry H. Cole of Child, Cole & Co., , was closeted a good part of the day with representatives of Eastern capital as well as local, with a view to organizing organ-izing for the exploitation of another ffrouo of Ely claims. He came back DUCK CRETTK DEVELOPMENT. The preparations for developing the Duck Creek properties of Messrs. Keith and Kearns, just over the Utah line, in Nevada, include the installation of boilers boil-ers and machinery which is now in progress pro-gress with expectation of the owners that this work will all be completed before be-fore winter sets in. D. J. Russell and C. E. Hirsh. who are leasing in the tnnnel level of the Uncle Sam, have uncovered a fine body of high grade ore and taken out enough for one shipment. The ore is easily extracted ex-tracted and runs in the neighborhood of $75 to the ton. The territory embraced em-braced in the lease runs clean back to the May Day line and present indications indica-tions are that the leasers are in a large body of high-grade gold ores. from the district feeling enthusiastic regarding its future. The group under consideration has just been purchased by Salt Lake, and Child, Cole Si Co. will j robably finance it. -Large Deal Announced. One of the largest deals announced was that of fourteen claims purchased by the Ely Consolidated Copper com- , pany, and which afford this corporation a total of 450 acres in a solid block. - Willard F. Snyder is vice-president of this company, which was organized last week with a capitalization of $10,000,-000. $10,000,-000. Olaus Jeldness is manager of the company. Three shafts on the original holdings are going ' down at a steady pace, while the first diamond drill hole ' reached a depth of 279 feet last Satur- . day. Fine ore has been cnt in the American shaft, which is located a short distance west of the Ruth workings of the Nevada Consolidated, and the bottom bot-tom is now approaching the eone where the same sulphides that occur in the neighboring mine are expected. The diamond drill bore to the southwest of the American shaft, and about midway between it and the company's Brilliant shaft is also expected to reaeh the sulphide sul-phide ore zone in short order, and would probably have been there by this time but for an accident that necessitated, a cessation of drilling for a few days. All f the work being done by the company ' is for. the purpose of reaching the sulphide sul-phide copper-bearing zone and proving up the ground adjoinin? the Ruth on the south and the Cumberland-Ely Jupiter Ju-piter possessions on the west. New hoisting plants are now on the way to ' camp,' and upon their arrival the whims on the American and Brilliant shafts will be replaced. Secrecy Is Observed. The utmost secrecy was observed by ' most of the participants in negotiations that involve Ely claims. It was said dozens of prospective purchasers are after af-ter the same groups, and therefore the - indications were that the best terms asked by prospectors and early-bird speculators would have to be paid by , . purchasers at this time. The early-bird speculators are the fellows fel-lows who got in many months ago and gobbled everything seemingly within the zone of copper deposition, which is very large. It promises, therefore, to . excel anything in the way of a speculative specu-lative mining region in the West, and it " goes without saying that many fortunes will be piled up by the Utah people that were wise to trie opportunities of Ely a year ago. Bait Lakers Conservative. David Keith and CoL E. A. Wall, who fook advantage of their visit to tho-oughly tho-oughly inspect the district, spoke con-. con-. servatively of the outlook. Mr. Keith along with former United States Senator Sen-ator Kearns, got in early, and he found the two shafts on their property going Sown satisfactorily. Both are now over sixty feet deep, and preparations- are . being made to place machinery on both boles. Also an incline shaft will soon be commenced on tha Eobust vein, . which is one of the most assuring resources re-sources in the group. MODEL POWER PLANT. The huge power plant which Senator Reed Smoot and Col. Ed Loose of Utah will build on Walker river, Nevada, is to be a model of its kind. The dam construction has commenced a short distance dis-tance below Bridgeport, preparatory to building the permanent stone and concrete con-crete dam which is to form an important impor-tant part of the immense power system sys-tem that the company contemplates. The company expects to have the temporary-dam temporary-dam completed before winter sets in. Agents of the company have been in mining districts of southern Nevada for several weeks making contracts for the delivery of electric power. The company com-pany claims it will be able to generate" and deliver electric current in the various vari-ous mining camps extending from Bodie to Goldfield cheaper than the Nevada Electric which is now operating on Bishop creek. DALY EAST STRIKE. George Arbogast and Robert Mulhall have an important strike on the Daly East property east of Pioche. In the east drift of the 100-foot level they have encountered $30 gold ore and are yet forty feet from the main ore shoot. On this claim assays as high as $250 per ton in gold can be obtained, and the peculiar feature is it is free, carrying very little silver yet in a silver-lead district. dis-trict. It is on the' same ledge as that of the old Silver Peak mine which has paid several hundred thousand dollars. BULLION, NEV PBOPERTEES. Eleven different properties are now classed among the producers in the Bullion, Bul-lion, Nev., district. The Gold Quartz is sacking ore for the second shipment. The first shipment sent out a few weeks ago netted $106.55 per ton. The next shipment will run better than $400 per ton. all in gold. The Utah, the property of La kin Colburn, is sending out its second shipment to Salt Lake, which will net better than $200 in lead and silver. The Dutchman, owned by the Bullion Venture company, a Colorado Springs corporation, has several cars sacked ready for shipment, which will be sent out in a few days. TO MINING MEN.
