In addition to the Jbond taken oi the E. & F. properties by young Clark, it is said that his experts are looking into other likely mining properties in various parts of that camp, with a view to taking a few more groups, should the development work done warrant the price at which the ground is held. TINTIO PEOPEETT LOOKS GOOD. - Several weeks ago announcement was made in . these columns that "Uncle" Jesse Knight had another bonansa in the Colorado Mining company's properties in the Tintic district. This information came from one of the mining men who is heavily heav-ily Interested In that district and who has hod access to the underground workings of the Colorado property, and : saw for himself the ore that was being developed. devel-oped. Now it is beginning to dawn upon up-on the Investors that another opportunity of getting Into one of these rich propositions proposi-tions that Knight is developing so often in that district escaped them There is a large tonnage of shipping ore in the bins at this company's mine, and more of the valuable product is being developed at the 250-foot level. Those who are In a position to know say that the property has paid all of Its outstanding indebtedness and has a comfortable com-fortable surplus on hand. As soon as the connections are made with the ore body off the 300-foot level, mere will be ample product coming to the market regularly to Insure the payment of dividends. The Colorado property adjoins that other oth-er Knight mine, the Beck Tunnel, from which so much valuable product has been coming during the past year, and this has led to the belief thatthls same ore channel traverses the Colorado diggings. WORK ON FBEE COINAGE. Work has been resumed on the Free Coinage properties in the Alta district, and Judge Larmer, who Is the heaviest individual holder, announced this morning morn-ing that the contract just let called for the continuing of the tunnel, a distance of 150 feet further in the mountain, which will cut the ore chute that was exposed ex-posed in the shaft only a short distance rom the surface. The tunnel has already been driven Into the mountain a distance of 650 feet, and a number of ledges cut that give good values In high grade ores, with the metal values predominating. The main ore chute, from which a car of ore was sent to the market some time ago showing values of 122 ounces silver, is the object of the development. In addition to this there were some good values of bl-product that would defray all the mining mi-ning and treatment charges. This work will be completed within the next sixty days, and immediately upon the cutting of this ore rone the management manage-ment contemplates making arrangements for the shipment of ores from this point, and placing men In other parts of the mine to prospect the ledges that were rut while running this long channel. It Is the opinion of those who have Inspected the workings that this company'wlll be In shape to enter the regular list of producers pro-ducers from that camp during the summer sum-mer months. ORE SHIPMENTS. The Pioneer sampler Is in receipt of six cars of ore from Utah and five from Nevada. Taylor-Bnmton have released twelve cars of ore from Utah, one car from Idaho, and one car from Nevada. CURB TRADING. On the curb this morning, following the regular session of the mining exchange, there were a few sales of the unlisted stocks made. Emma Copper came out at 30 cents. Standard Copper at 62 and 53 cents, and Newhouse at $19 flat. The other stocks that received quotations were as follows: Bid. Asked.

Barney B. Qulnn. who is ; known throughout the Western mining world as the "fathpr of Bingham." has Just been appointed resident director of the Bano-vlch Bano-vlch Consolidated Gold Mines company, and made the fiscal agent for the sale of a block of the treasury stock at 0 cents a share. This company recently made some sensational disclosures of rich ore in Its properties at De La Mr,, in what is said to be the famous old De L.& Mar lode from which so many millions were taken in the early days. Qulnn Is personally-acquainted personally-acquainted with the principal owners in this proposition, having gone to school with one of the men, and says that he has every confidence In their honor and ability abil-ity as mining men. Relying upon thfe representations made to him by these men, Qulnn sent them his personal check for 5000 shares of the stock. He says further that he will present pre-sent the proposition to some of his friends and advise them to take some of the shares for Investment. SNOW RETARDS WORK. Manager Francis G. Tyng of the Wyoming Wy-oming mines In American Fork canyon. Is In from that snowbound camp, and says that there is very little that can be done In that section until the weather has cleared. During the coming summer months Tyng says that his property will be able to send out the largest tonnage of product in the history of this old dividend divi-dend payer. In addition to this assurance of product from that section of the State there are a number of properties in that region that will be developed on a more extensive scale than usual and the prospects pros-pects were never brighter for an active season of development and production throughout the entire district up to the Alta country. The last winter made it Impossible for any of the operators to do much in the way of development, but forces are now being lined up. and supplies and equipment equip-ment will be sent In as soon as the roads are made passable.

One of Utah's young mining promoters, promot-ers, who has made a careful study of the various mining propositions and profited thereby, said last night that he had seen some of the best development ground In the Ramsey district of any of the camps he had visited. He said that the Garavanta mine is practically a mountain of ore, and that while the pro- duct on the upper levels Is of the milling class, there has Just recently been uncovered un-covered in the long tunnel. Immense ore bodies that carry values of as much as $20 to $25 a ton in gold. He is of opinion that this will prove to be one of the paying pay-ing mines of that country for many years. Judging from the present outlook. The Ramsey-Comstock he classes with the big mines of the Sagebrush State. He has no hesitancy In saying that it has possibilities of becoming another such property as the famous Comstock mine. To demonstrate more clearly what la being done In that district, the fol-. fol-. lowing article will be of interest to those ' ' who are holding some of this company's stock, and have never seen the property: "A well-known Comstock miner and prospector, who has heretofore invariably discounted every favorable report from Ramsey, visited that district last week and took thorough average samples of ore from the eleven-foot ledge on the 160- foot level of the Ramsey-Comstock. On returlng he pulverised and thoroughly mixed the mass and had' an assay made with this result: Gold, 4.12-100 ounces; gold value per ton $85.12; Sliver 8.06-100 ounces, at 70 cents per ounce; $5.64 per ton. Total value, $90.76 per ton. "The values are almost exclusively in sulphurets and the ore cannot be distinguished distin-guished from that in Con. Virginia and Ophlr. This result has made the heretofore hereto-fore pessimist an optimist on Ramsey, or in other words, has changed him from a confirmed knocker of that district to an enthusiastic booster. Ramsey-Comstock. which a few weeks ago was offered at 25 cents per share, cannot now be purchased pur-chased at $4." TO INSPECT ELY CON. Wlllard F. Snyder. Col. Nicholas ,Tre-week ,Tre-week and Grant Snyder are at the properties prop-erties of the Ely Consolidated-and are making a thorough, Inspection, with a view to devising the best methods for future development, and to ascertain the exact results that are being obtained -under the present system of operations. The work of going over the ground will be completed today by these officials of the company, and then it Is planned to spend afehort time at several of the other propositions prop-ositions that have been proffered. Upon their return to this city It seems probable that some announcement will be made of additional mining ground that has been corralled bv this syndicate. Wlllard Wll-lard Snyder will then pull out for his New York offices where he will lay before be-fore his Eastern clients the plans he has for developing more of the Ely mineral belt. LAST CHANCE EXPECTS MUCH. Local mining operators arc looking more and more upon the Pioche field, and arc investigating in person and bv representatives into the possibilities and resources of that remarkable district. dis-trict. Those who know the deep knowledge knowl-edge of mining possessed by Tony Ja-cohson Ja-cohson will realize that a company with which he is connected is almost certain to move rapidly to the front. The Pioche Last Chance Mining company, in process of formation, has for its president Tony Jaeobson of Columbus Co-lumbus Con. fame; vice-president. Judge Thomas Marioneaux; consulting engineer, W. G. Nebeker; directing manager, E. P. Gordon of Pioche: directors, di-rectors, A. Fred Wey, William Lloyd, "Wizard of Pioche,'' and J. G. Brown of Pioche. The treasurer and secretary of the Last Chance company will be appointed from the directorate. Seven miles almost due west of (Pioche, in Highland mining district, Lincoln county, Nev., arc the four full clai ms of the Last Chance company. These properties adjoin the famous Mendah mine, and are said to possess the same highly mineralized rock. Three distinct Dedded veins run through the property. The Last Chance mine is about 1000 feet up the mountain in that section, and when the Pioche branch of the Salt Lake line is finished will be about two and one half miles from the railroad. The ore vein crops the entire length of the claim and beyond. be-yond. Near the center of the property a shaft has been snnk 100 feet, over which is a gallows frame. Westward from the forty-foot level the mine has been worked for 100 feet, producing, since development began, about $30,000 worth of high-grade ore. The remainder remain-der of the shaft is in highly mineralized mineral-ized limestone. In a crosscut another fissure has been found carrying low-grade low-grade ore. Ore has been found near the surface averaging $1 a pound. A drift has been run westward from the lowest level, in which twenty-five fret of ore was uncovered averaging $100 a ton, it is claimed. In the bottom of the winze six inches of heavy lead ore has been exposed carrying as high as 9 per cent copper, 400 ounces silver and $4 in gold to the ton. Two excavations on this ledge show $12 to $50 a ton in all metals. met-als. Volma mine, another of the properties, prop-erties, shows almost as good values and prospects. Jaeobson at one time owned the Last Chance, and since his repurchase of the property will outline a campaign of development which will bring the claims to the fore. One million shares of stock at $1 each have been issued, with 400,000 shares in the treasury. Pioche investors alone have purchased, it is understood, 40,000 shares, and share with the owners in expecting great results from the property. Work will begin at once on sinking the shaft to the 500-foot level, and a new twentv-five-horse power gasoline engine will be shipped to the mine. Water, which is found close by, will be piped to the property. E. P. Gordon, directing engineer of the Last Chance properties, is one of the best known mining men in the West. He promoted and for a long time managed the Boston-Pioche mine, and also was instrumental in forming the Little Mendah and the Gordon companies. He is still a director in all three organizations. His headquarters in this city are with the firm of Locker & Janney," Mercantile block, a new and enterprising combination of mining operators. op-erators. With Locker & Janney Gordon Gor-don is interested in the Yackatat and Bingham-Welland properties. The latter lat-ter claims were recently purchased outright out-right by Locker Sc Jannej-. In the Yackatat property are five claims, about a mile and a quarter from Pioche. Both properties will be developed to the utmost. Capt. Tibbetts, expert engineer, well known in this city, is said to have made very flattering reports concerning the Biogham-Welland claims. It is stated that 150 tons are now on the dump awaiting shipment. The ore is said to average $30 a ton in all metals. Latest advices from Pioche are to the effect that the wagon roads have dried and that as a result there is more than the usual activity in that camp. Supplies Sup-plies are being rushed in from the railroad rail-road points, and a great deal of mining machinery is being hauled for the numerous nu-merous properties that are still in the first stages of development. Probablv there has been more activity activi-ty in the Bristol section of this district since the announcement of investments made by W. A. Clark, Jr., than at any 1 other period in the history of that coun- NOTICE. Knights of Columbus, tho funeral of our late brother, .lames Norton of Ogden Og-den council, will be held at St. Mary s cathedral at 10:3U a. m. tomorrow morning. All knights arc requested to attend.
