Show UTAH ORE OKE SAMPLES that john H wootton has met with encouragement in collecting ores for a mineral exhibit during the session of the international mining congress is very apparent from the gent lemans report just made thus tar far mercur and tintic are the only fields cov covered ereg but they in themselves form a very interesting collection and will demonstrate to the visitor what the mines of these districts have to offer in his report mr wootton begins with the mercur mine at mercur from which he to is assured by the management that the display for the congress to Is the finest ever taken from the property it includes the cinnabar ore an ore jore designated by the management as an an oxidized lime and the peculiar ore known as stibnite the sulphide of antimony I 1 the golden dolden gate and geyser marion furnished very interesting samples ot of their ores including the arsenical and oxidized varieties some specimens of the regular the only silver ore fr from om the mercur district comes from the hercules running abbet ounces silver silve r to the ton the northern light ore is yet to be secured the contribution from la cigale is their regular milling ore snowing the average values of the district as do the samples from all of the mines the highest values from t the district are i lv in the mercur mine samples some ot I 1 which run 30 80 gold both the overland and galena people will send samples in time for exhibition all of the tintic contributions are splendid samples of the output of the district showing very clearly the character of the ore deposits some of them carry very high values and all are in 1 fo resting to the student of mining operations about 1200 pounds of ore was given by the centennial eureka A small sack of carbonate from the mine will run 46 45 pei per cent lead 1000 ounces silver and 10 gold the galena sample will run rub ounces stiver silver 50 per cent lead and IS 6 gold their copper ore is gov oy ounce alice silver 26 ver per cent copper and 5 8 one very large large piece of ore car adeff ounces 0 sliver to the ton B i humbug contributes some very grade samples of crystallized crystall zed lead runn 60 per ar cent some galena ore arar I 1 avde orn norn silver carrying 1 a ounce 4 wiver silver the uncle sam lead ore goes u ta about 70 per cent lead and it also gives some very fine carbonate samples about 1200 pounds of samples corde come from the eureka hill it is practically all from their milling ore one piece weighing about pounds carries 35 ounces silver and 29 20 per cent lead then there is a silver copper ore running ounces silver 40 gold and 5 per cent copper about 2000 pounds comes from the bullion beck the galena ore is 40 per cent lead 45 silver and about 2 gold the copper lead silver ore is very showy making beautiful specimens with the malachite and azurite stains of green and blue this is 7 per cent I 1 copper 10 per cent lead ounces silver and 2 gold the carbonate from the beek beck runs 15 16 per cent lead 60 ounces silver about 1 gold another sample of theN the copper ore runs 10 per cent copper 50 ounces silver 25 gold the best copper ore goes about 30 per cent copper 15 ounces silver and 2 gold galena samples from the uncle sarh san carry 75 per cent lead and 45 ounces silver the carbonate runs 70 per cent lead and 40 ounces silver in the humbug interesting samples were given of the yellow carbonate that un run 50 and then they have the red carbonate that carries ounces silver and 20 gold the humbug galena carries 75 per cent lead and ounces silver silver the mine also contributed a sample of horn silver that runs 1500 ounces to the ton in the gemini samples Is a malachite azurite ore a lead carbonate running 95 ounces silver and 25 per cent lead the galena from this mine is 50 per cent lead and 45 ounces silver another very fine sample from the mine carries ounces of silver in horn silver ore it is a quartz or literally held together by streaks of silv ersome of them as thick as a silver dollar prom from the mammoth there are samples as follows galena 45 per cent lead 40 ounces silver 2 gold c opper copper azurite 15 16 per cent copper 12 ounces silver 5 gold the mammoths Mam moths gold silver ore is a needle spar carrying gold ten ounces silver their iron qua quartz artz carries 85 gold and 16 ounces silver the samples of their milling ore carry ten ounces silver 12 gold copper sulphate samples are 54 PL per r cent copper with five ounces silver silver cites dragon iron mine contributed tri buted some magnificent all samples amples of iron ore running on an average 65 66 per cent iron in the he four aces acea mr wootton reports a discovery of interest to the management of the property while he was selecting samples of ore for display he discovered one sample witla with wire silver in it a thing unknown in the property before their galena samples carry 55 per cent lead and N aft ounces silver south swansea sends some very nice samples of galena ore 65 per cent lead and ounces silver carbonate ores 1 60 per cent lead and ounces silver the south swansea samples are much of the came character galena ounces silver 65 per cent lead carbonates carrying 30 per cent lead and ounces silver another interesting sample from the south swansea shows their iron pyrites of which they have a large body carrying 25 ounces silver samples from the ajax are extremely valuable as ai showing the varying characteristics acte of the district one is an iron carbonate carrying 30 per cent lead and ounces silver another is an azurite malachite copper carrying 15 ounces silver and 15 per cent copper a third to ia a copper sulphide with 59 50 per cent copper fouer ounces silver and 2 gold one of the finest specimens in the whole collection ca came ne froth from the ajax and to is a sample of ruby copper r almost native copper 66 65 per cent strong after enumerating these samples Mp Mr Woot tons report explains that the other properties of the tintic gintic and mercur districts without exception intend to be represented in the display although various causes have prevented them from getting in with the first shipments the underground workings in the picnic and martha washington were both inaccessible to mr wootton because the new hoists were being installed but good samples are promised from both mines the grand central was also unable to put out its samples but will send them in ample time for the congress altogether the collection promises to be the most notable ever gathered in the state as a purely commercial display without any ot of the skyrocket sky rocket attributes of the collections that are usually got together for show puPo purposes ees only |
