Show GOOD PICK-UP BY SALT LAKERS More Salt Lake men have picked up feood thing in Nevada mines, accord-Ag accord-Ag to their statements, ten miles Jutjiwest 0f Mill City, in Humboldt f county. The property is said to have been worked for upward of forty years by a pioneer of that section " named . Fellows, and to have lain idle subsequent subse-quent to his death a period, and was nally disposed of by his widow to the . present owners. They formed the Nevada Ne-vada Union Mining company, having: 300,000 shares, and apportioned the same among themselves, putting up nominal cash for clearing out old working and proposed new development.-' 'There are five claims crossed by an enormous fissure, which was opened up on the surface in many places indicating indi-cating a very general mineralization. Ore valuable enough to ship was found lying Upon the dumps of all the prospect pros-pect holes near the top of the mountain, representing many months of personal labor by the hopeful man that for so long Jived there and. steadfastly-prosecuted development in a superficial though demonstrative manner. Coming further down the slope the management of the new company has sunk a shaft upon the vein sixty-seven feet deep many of the latter being in ore of very high grade but which sinking had to be abandoned for lack of good air. When withdrawal of effort ef-fort from the shaft was forced its bottom was filled with three and one-half one-half feet of ore carrying an average of 3000 to 6000 ounces silver, $25 to $150 gold, and 10 to 15 per cent copper. The higher grade parts of the vein carrv 6000 ounces silver, $6 to $10 gold, 2 to 15 per cent copper. A tunnel is now being driven to cut this ore body which is expected to furnish fur-nish adequate avenue for extraction, afford af-ford ventilation, and future drainage. It will also enable the stoning to proceed pro-ceed for a distance of 300 feet upward. Another month's work only, say the people that are interested, will be required re-quired to pu6h this tunnel to intersection intersec-tion with the bottom of the shaft. Then shipments will be inaugurated, which are expected to break some of the lat-i- ter-day records of rich yield from this , section, and transform a few hitherto ytttodestly-situated Utah citizens into ,Vthe world of wealthy mining magnates. The ore must be hauled twenty miles rlby wagon to railroad facilities, for gJshipping, but this distance is less than in former years and easily within the ability of the ore to sustain, and leave a large margin for dividends. The' officers of the companv are John N. Schick, president; Joseph B. Whitehead, secretary and manager; William Goodsell. vice-president; A. D. Beaman, treasurer, and Ernest Salt, director. di-rector. Ground on the same mountain, says President Schick, who gives the above information, belongs to the old Ari- ' zona Mining companv, and vielded in the past years $7,000,000. The territory terri-tory from which this vast wealth came I adjoins his company's property on both ' the east and the west. |
