For these reasons the work of sinking has not begun in the Utah, but as soon as an engineer can be secured and sent out he will put the machinery in shape to go ahead. In the meantime, the foreman, Mr. Sutton, has been acting as engineer and the output from the mine has been kept up to Its usual standard. This is shown by the car of exceptionally high-grade ore which reached Oasis Wednesday morning and which is now being loaded on the cars. Mr. Crismoa will remain In the city for four or five days. SAMPLING PLANT AT CON. MERCUR STARTS. The new sampling plant of the Consolidated Con-solidated Mercur company went Into commission Tuesday and with the exception ex-ception of some trifling alterations, the necessity for which ' showed up during the trial run, the plant is ready for steady work. About four tons of ore were put through. The need of such a plant Is amply illustrated il-lustrated by the recent discovery that some of the sulphide ores in the property prop-erty run very high in the yellow metal. The company has never before been able to determine the actual average of its ores because of the Inequality of the values) In the ore. Sometimes ore from two places within a couple of feet of each other would show widely different values and this complicated the mill work greatly. The sampling plant was erected very cheaply as the company already had most of the machinery and will more than pay for itself within a short time In the knowledge of the ores which It will give the management The mine Is reported as looking better bet-ter than ever before this year and the output for the present month Is counted count-ed on to make a fine margin of profit for the company. ' UNCLE SAM DEVELOPMENT. The work of development now progressing pro-gressing at the Uncle Sam Consolidated Is not allowed to interfere with the production pro-duction of the mill and the shipment of high-grade ore, as is shown by the ship, ments on the market Wednesday. An exceptionally high-grade car is on the market from the Humbug ground and two cars of concentrates are being sampled. sam-pled. The company Is pushing the drifts which will prove up the May Day vein In Uncle Sam ground with the utmost vigor and also those which will tap the high-grade chute being worked under lease in Humbug ground at depth. When these drifts reach their destination destina-tion there Is no doubt that the company com-pany will return to the list of dividend payers. PRESIDENT GUGGENHEIM VISITS THE SMELTERS. A party composed of the heads of the. American Smelting and Refining company is In the city on a trip of inspection in-spection to the- company's plant In this valley.

Whitley, and will leave for the East Wednesday evening. Mr. Guggenheim stated during his stay that he considered that the farmers farm-ers had been very fair and conservative conserva-tive in their demands upon the smelting smelt-ing companies with regard to the smoke nuisance, and that the smelter-men smelter-men were doing their best to meet them in the same spirit. He stated that nothinz would be left undone to abolish the smoke nuisance, and that without doubt it would eventually be conquered. He assured the people of Utah that v.hen this trouble had been overcome and other litigation now pending had been settled, the A. S. & R. Co. would proceed with the building of the new smelting plant which Is being designed for this State. The prospect of the copper market and the future of the Utah copper mines are what has decided de-cided the company to enlarge their plants here. In the party are Murray and L. R.

Tuesday and reports that the property is looking splendidly. The company has been delayed somewhat some-what In the proposed work on Galena ground by the loss of one of the engi-. engi-. neers. The superintendent has therefore there-fore been unable to put men to work. In the lower levels of the Galena, but has had two men at work in the upper levels of that property, which can be reached through the Utah 300-fobt level. These men have been working on ore, and although the workings were thought to be worked out by the Ga-Jena Ga-Jena management, they have been working on some of the smaller stringers string-ers of rich ore and these have opened up in a most encouraging manner. Already these two men have broken quite an amount of rich ore and it will - be shipped to market as soon as a carload car-load has accumulated. K The loss of the engineer has also delayed de-layed the change of the Utah compressor com-pressor to thi Galena shaft. As soon as the change is made the pipe-line will be taken down the Galena shaft to the 800-foot level and thence into "the Utah f workings, where It will furnish power for sinking and drifting. The waste Superintendent Copeland. He has juft returned from an examination of the conditions at Tonopah and Goldfield and is most pleased with both those campa. So much was he Impressed that It has finally been determined that the company com-pany of which he is one of the heads will erect a sampler in the district before be-fore spring. He is disinclined to state at present Just where the plant will be located but it is likely that some point between Mound House, the end of the present broad gauge system, and Tonopah To-nopah will be selected.

Pollock & Co. record the following news of the Utah Iron deposits: "Investigation of new ore properties recently purchased by the Colorado Fuel and Iron company In Utah show that It has enormously Increased its holdings of raw material. Since the acquisition ac-quisition of control by the Rockefeller-Gould Rockefeller-Gould combination the company has purchased six additional iron claims In Iron county. Investigation sine made by the company develops the fact that the Blow-Out claim has at least 2.000,-DOOtons 2.000,-DOOtons of ore on the surface.
