As the rich deposits of the red metal continue con-tinue stronger as depth is obtained in that portion of the mineral zone, it is the opinion cf the best informed mining mi-ning men that tie property will continue con-tinue to yield its great riches in grester abundance with depth. As evidence of the future productiveness productive-ness of this mammoth property, one has simply to refer to the record made for the month of March, when there was sent out from this mine 3000 tons of concentrate and 500 , tons of crude ores. From these consignments it is admitted that the crude extraction met all of the expenses of operation, and as the concentrates are said to have averaged between 15 and 20 per cent in the red metal, it would seem that a conservative estimate of the company's profits for the past month was about $300,000. At this rate of production the company would be making $3,600,- 000 annually on a total capitalization of only $6,000,000. The mine is still in its infancy, and as quick as the ore bodies can be opened up. there will be increased facilities placed on the ground. for extracting ex-tracting the higher grade ores, and whatever may be needed in the way of additional equipment for treating and shipping the second-class ores will also be provided. The higher grade product pro-duct from the mine will be increased from month to month, and with - the f resent market valuation of copper, he prospects are more favorable for the great - mine becoming the most profitable copper producer the world has ever seen. Samuel Jsewhouse has ever been conservative con-servative about this mine, and yet it Is known that he has had more faith in the outcome of this proposition than anything he ever tackled in the mining line. That he and his engineers have exercised most excellent judgment in this stupendous undertaking, in a country that had not even a good prospect pros-pect hole dug, and where great for tunes were expended in equipping a mine and the most modern mill of the times, where a. city has been built to house and accommodate the employees in a desert waste, is being proved beyond be-yond the peradvanture of a doubt. In the Cactus, Utah will be given the name of having one of -the most wonderful copper producers of modern times, and that section of the State will attract the attention of the big mining men and capitalists, as it has already done to a considerable extent since the Newhouse discoveries have become known to the outside world. MINING NOTES. M. M. Johnson of the Newhouse staff leaves this afternoon for British Columbia, Colum-bia, where he will Install T. Ft. Drum-mond Drum-mond aa manager of the Nlpissing mine. A strike of considerable Importance has been made In the drift off the lfiOO-foot le-el of the Daly-West In Park City, but at the present time the management has not bad time to determine its full extent. Ore and bullion settlements yesterday In the open market, according to McCor-nick McCor-nick A Co., amounted to $59,000, divided aa follows: Silver, lead, gold and copper cop-per ores. $19,000; base bullion, $40,000. A. J. Davis, who has Just returned from Beaver county, reports an Immense amount of new equipment going into that section, with the latest sensational strike reported in the Talisman group. - E.

H. Bray, who held their property under option, are destined to reap another fortune for-tune as pioneer mine owners, the red metal again proving to be the drawing card. Battle Mountain is the scene of their operations, and for several weeks a deal has been pending for the sale of twenty-one claims owned by the above named gentlemen to the American Electric Elec-tric company for $250,000, and negotiations negotia-tions are now almost consummated. C. J. Palmer, a New Tork expert, who was sent out to Battle Mountain three weeks ago to examine the mines, has rendered a favorable report on the properties. In order to verify his statements, state-ments, two other noted mining men have just concluded an inspection of the entire group, and they have returned East to report the result of their examination. ex-amination. "I think they will take the mine," said Mr. Boyd, ''as they spent six days at the mines, and examined every part thoroughly. When I stated that we wanted $250,000 for the group, they never'offered any objection to the price. Should they report that the mines could be worked" to advantage, the deal will practically be closed. "Several days before I left Battle ! Mountain the whole town was aroused by a gold excitement near our mines. A man named Hoakum found free gold in an abandoned shaft, which had been worked during the early days. He sunk a shaft for seventy feet, and an assay from a vein fifteen feet wide went $15 in gold. All the country in the immediate imme-diate vicinity has been staked out. "I paid a visit to Thomas Bockhill several weeks ago, and found the old fentlemen enjoying the best of health, f .the weather is warm around here by the middle of April he expects to return re-turn to his old stamping grounds for the summer." Mr. Boyd has returned to Battle Mountain. Mr. Boyd still retains a half interest in the Peacock mine, across Steptoe valley, which was located by himself and Dave Dennett eighteen years ago. SALE OF ANNIE LAURIE. GeOTge Beard, representing the estate of Peter Kimherly, was the highest bidder bid-der for the Annie Laurie mine at the receiver's sale yesterday, and it was awarded to him for $220,000. It seems that as everything in connection with the sale was regnlsr, the Federsl court will confirm this transfer on April 10, and that there will be steps taken immediately looking toward .the resumption re-sumption of operations at this Gold Mountain proposition. Beard, Buhl and party, who came from the East several days ago to be in attendance upon this sale of mining ground, are not very communicative about the policy for the future. From other interests it is learned that a new J organization may take hold of the property prop-erty at the expiration of the six months Ted'emption period, and that the property prop-erty will be placed in competent hands to demonstrate whether or not it can be made to re-enter the dividend-paying division. di-vision. In the meantime the mill and mine are both being run by a small force. ' j WOMAN AS A MI NEE. Nevada has a novel feature in the mining mi-ning field, in the person of Mrs. 8. F. Sutherland, wife of the editor of the Evening . Sun, New York City. Mrs. Sutherland has spent the psst two or three months at the Bonita mining ramp, encountering the hardships usually usual-ly prevalent during the early stages of camp life, visiting the hills, burro back and horseback, and personally looking look-ing over property in which she is extensively ex-tensively Interested; in fsct, property in which she holds controlling interest. She has formed two companies, in each of which she is president, and to repeat re-peat her own words, she intends to show the world what a woman can do, and those who have visited the mines of the two companies agree with her that she hss the goods. On her, visit to Austin Mrs. Sutherland Suther-land was accompanied by C. Anson Barker, a former New York newspaper man, who is secretary of the compa- D Too much cannot be said of this new mining camp on Reese river. A visitor ta the camp will observe all the natural facilities necessary to a permanent camp, and any one of the seven corn? panies now operating there would be only too pleased to let visitors, select their own stock and do their own "horning," knowing full well their desire de-sire for the sight of the glittering gold would be realized. WESTERN MAKING SURVEYS INTO ELY J Preliminary survey of three pro posed routes for a branch line from the Western Pacific, railroad into Ely are being made by two corps of engineers, engi-neers, and one party is working about twenty miles from Ely. The survey is being pushed from both ends of the line, and it is believed that the preliminary prelimi-nary work will, be finished in about three weeks. The maximum and minimum elevations eleva-tions along the different routes are the only objects of the first survey and a topographical map of the country traversed trav-ersed will be prepared in a short time. The final survey will be started as soon ' aa the most practicable route has been decided upon. One ronte parallels the Nevada Northern railroad for a greater part of the distance, another line will give the residents of Clover valley communication communica-tion with the outside world by means of s railroad, and the third route will enter Ruby valley. INSPECTS FEDERAL ELY FOR THE GUGGENHEIMS When General Manager W. J. Craig of the Federal Ely company, paid his last visit to the properties he was accompanied ac-companied on the expedition by a representative rep-resentative of the Ouggenheims, who made a thorough examination of the showings. It is reported that negotiations are to be closed for the transfer of the entire Federal Ely mines to the Guggenheim interests, and that the transfer will be made in the near future. ' The sulphides have been encountered in the company's shaft at a depth of 48 feet, and from that point to the 100-foot 100-foot level the entire shaft is in sulphide ore giving values from 1 to 2 per cent copper. ' A crosscut was run both ways from ' the shaft at the hundred level for a distance aggregating -78 feet, and sulphide sul-phide ore carrying 2 per cent copper has been evident in these workings. ' Complete hoisting equipment will be m-stslled m-stslled at the shaft and the mansge- MINERS' DEMURRER OVERRULED. In the case of Terry Kelllgher against the Consolidated Flagstaff Mining company, com-pany, the demurrer of the deefndant was overruled by Judge Marshall. Thomas Marioneaux appeared for the plaintiff, and W. H. King for the defendant. Upon motion of -Attorney Benner X. Smith, action brought by the Mines and Smeltera. Supply company against the Stockton Mining and Milling company, waa dismissed by the court. NEWS FOR NEWHOUSE. When Samuel Newhouse reaches New York from London, there will be some interesting news for him at his Eastern East-ern offices regarding the operations of his various mining interests, and more than likely the latest information from the Cactus mines in Beaver county will please him most. Manager Hanchett has returned from a visit of several days to the mine. He says that the working shaft is fast approaching the 700-foot level, and that after a station has been cut at this point and men placed to drift up. to. the ore bodies, the abaft will |
